lyrics
Her daddy was the preacher and her mama hated sin
She was never told the trouble that a man could get her in
When she found herself a-waiting on a flood that never came
She signed away her freedom and her name
God loves a shotgun wedding, only Jesus loves a whore
So her feet stood at the altar while her heart ran for the door
As mama kissed her baby’s cheek, relief was in her eyes
She handed her a wedding gift then quickly said goodbye
It was a cast iron skillet, an old frying pan
To feed those little babies, to satisfy her man
To be seasoned with virtue, made rich with sacrifice, and
Heavy as the fear she has inside
She always dreamed of getting out, she was big city bound
But every dream she ever had came crashing to the ground
Now she spends her days in the kitchen and her nights waiting alone
He’ll spend their money drinking and then maybe he’ll come home.
And her cast iron skillet, that old frying pan
Every morning on the stove to feed that selfish man
It is seasoned with bitterness, made rich with tears she’s cried
And burning like the rage she has inside
And it’s burning like the rage she has inside
He always stuck to useless till one day he went too far
He blacked her eye and split her lip then head out to the bar
But when she heard him stagger home she stood behind the door
One hollow thud and he crumpled to the floor
With that cast iron skillet that old frying pan
She found the power that had once been taken from her hands
And it was seasoned with vengeance, a deadly battlecry
But at that moment emptiness was all she felt inside
