lyrics

Hot Pink Wig
(Alice Olsen)

The day her hair fell out she sat down and cried,
Then picked herself back up and stuffed her fear down deep inside.
She bought a brand new wig in a shade of bubblegum,
Then looked Death in the eye and said, "Bring it on."
"I won't be your victim, you can't take me down.
I'll fight tooth and nail 'til they put me in the ground."

Chorus:
She survived.
She's proud to be alive.
She turned the tables on the odds,
Came up a winner on the other side.
She didn't give a rip what the world might think,
She just stared down Death in her HOT PINK WIG.

The road was rough. Sometimes she wanted to give up,
Tired of drinking out of life's all too bitter cup.
But then she'd wear that wig and laugh away the past,
Take up a tough, hard day and live it like her last.
No time for grief or pity, a smile was on her face,
She struggled and she fought until she knew she'd won the race.

Repeat Chorus

And now that wig is sitting on a shelf,
Reminding her of what she learned about herself, uh huh.
She was stronger than she dreamed that she could ever be before,
Grateful for her life and wanting more.

Repeat Chorus

She didn't blink. She didn't flinch.
She didn't budge or give and inch,
She just stared down Death in her HOT PINK WIG.
