Gatlin Kate James - Brief History Lyrics

When I was five I left my cozy life in Tennessee
My mom took me to L.A. to be on TV
It wasn't 'til I was 15 fame introduced herself to me
In the beginning of my brief history
I never really made a name but I made songs and movies too
I was in a band with brother until another state he moved
And we still love each other but to death my dream it blew
I was in misery I thought that it would be the end of my brief history
When our daddy died I didn't get to say a word
I was by his side until they pulled the cord
And I wish he could've stayed until my son and daughter came
They were all premature
It's a mystery but this is my brief history
It's all it's all true Yeah nothing's fake I'm telling you it's real
It may be harder to believe
Can you Imagine how I feel?
I couldn't change a thing I got the cards there were to deal
It's not all glittery
But God's been here with me through all of my brief history
There'll be more story to tell and I hope it's very long
I'll live at least 60 more years and have to write another song
With my husband by my side and a few grandkids on the way
We'll have a legacy and they'll look back and say
Oh her brief history means so much to me today
