After the strike well she wasn’t the same
She couldn’t play her previous game
She was a woman he couldn’t tame
She had become independent
After the strike the dust settled down
He went to work and she wore a frown
She said she felt she was going to drown
She had become independent
Chorus:
Independent she is - independent she’ll stay
She getting stronger for longer each day
He gets the feeling that he’s in the way
Now she’s become independent
Way back in time when the kids were her life
He was her man and she was the wife
Needed him more than bread needs a knife
Now she’s become independent
He came from work - found she was gone
She took the kids - struck out on her own
He hit the skids - felt lost and alone
When she became independent
Chorus:
One day on TV - she talked of her life
Hardship & struggle - picket-line wife
She found it strange that change came from strife
When she became independent.
Finding your voice is a hard thing to do
Making that choice for you to be you
Time to rejoice when your dreams they come true
And you’ve become independent
