Story Behind The Song

I am 49 and have been in the music business for many years - had a record deal, then the company went under, was close again a few years later and my manager went psychotic and ruined the relations I had going. Have been married twice, the second time left me emotionally and financially ruined and I am now a single mother. Through it all I have been knocked down many times, and even when I didn't feel like I could go on, I have never given up on life, love or music. Can't keep a good woman down!!

Song Description

Being a woman who has lived a lot of life, has had many ups and downs, but refuses to let the downs rule her so she gets back in the game and says here I am, I'm ready to play again!

Lyrics

I'm an ordinary woman
living my life
trying to get it right
I've made mistakes
had some bad breaks
but I'll stand up and
brush the dust off

I am still healing
but I like the way it feels
when the edges knit together

I'm Back in the Game
I'm here to reclaim
my place in the sun
I may lose again
but this time I might win
so tell everyone
that

I am only human
I have my rage
I did some time with Judy and James
Yeah I crossed the line
yes I lost my mind
but I'm here to tell you it's been one hell of a ride

I've been through some changes
my body and my soul
and now it's coming together

I'm Back in the Game
I'm here to reclaim
my place in the sun
I may lose again
but this time I might win
so tell everyone

The music's getting louder
I'm beating on my drum
I will shed my skin for
what I will become

I'm Back in the Game
I'm here to reclaim
my place in the sun
I may lose again
but this time I might win
so tell everyone
I'm Back in the Game
I'm Back in the Game
And it's coming together...
