Tanya Denise Tucker (born October 10, 1958, in Seminole, Texas) is a female American country music artist who had her first hit, "Delta Dawn", in 1972 at the age of 13.

She has had several successful albums, several Country Music Association award nominations, and hit songs such as 1973's "What's Your Mama's Name?" and "Blood Red and Goin' Down," 1975's "Lizzie and the Rainman," and 1988's "Strong Enough to Bend". more »

I felt you calling, I saw you start
From the old town movies to the bars on the boulevard
The bells were ringing, for a gypsy soul
Straight to the smart mouth little girl from seminal
All you outlaws, and the Opry queens
They wrapped those golden arms around the baby of the family
To stand beside you then was more than enough
I always was and always will be looking up

So gather 'round now
It's time to sing
It's bittersweet, but it's a hell of a silver lining
I tell the same ol' stories
Ya'll get your wings
And I get better every time I kiss a weather cheek
And watching doves fly
Sooner than me
I guess I'm ready or ready as I'll never be

The snow don't fall on the Willcox
And the whippoorwill don't lie
Are the two things you can count on
And if you blink, you're gonna miss it twice
Even if I saw it coming
Even if I wanted to
You're just going to the one place left
That I can't follow you

So gather 'round now
It's time to sing
It's bittersweet, but it's a hell of a silver lining
I tell the same ol' stories
Ya'll get your wings
And I get better every time that I don't know

Ain't no depts to repay
Even if you're light years away
May the circle be unbroken
Let it breathe through you
So one sweet day 
Whoa, happy day

Gather 'round now
It's time to sing
It's bittersweet, but it's a hell of a silver lining
I tell the same ol' stories
Ya'll get your wings
And I'll get better every time I kiss a weather cheek
And watching doves fly sooner than me
I guess I'm ready, or ready as I'll never be
I'm ready as I'll never be
