Due to popular demand, I've decided to translate Sara's live, YouTube version of "Stronger" into words for all you Sara fans out there!

A lot of you have found the site by searching for "Sara Evans Stronger Lyrics," so here they are! (To open in a separate window, please click here.)

Woke up late today, and I
still feel the sting of the pain,
but I brush my teeth anyway;
got dressed through the mess
and put a smile on my face.

I got a little bit stronger.

Ridin' in the car to work, and I'm
tryin' to ignore the hurt,
so I turned on the radio --
stupid song made me think of you.
I listened to it for a minute,
but then I changed it.

I'm gettin' a little bit stronger;
just a little bit stronger.

And I'm done hopin'
that we can work it out.
I'm done with how it feels,
spinnin' my wheels, and
lettin' you drag my heart around.
And oh; and I'm done thinkin'
that you could ever change.
I know my heart will never be the same,
but I'm tellin' myself I'll be okay.
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger.

Doesn't happen overnight, but you
turn around and a month's gone by,
and you realize you haven't cried.
I'm not givin' you an hour or a second
or another minute longer.
I'm busy gettin' stronger.

And I'm done hopin'
that we can work it out.
I'm done with how it feels,
spinnin' my wheels, and
lettin' you drag my heart around.
And oh; and I'm done thinkin'
that you could ever change.
I know my heart will never be the same,
but I'm tellin' myself I'll be okay.
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger.

Just a little bit stronger.

I'm gettin' on without you baby.
Better off without you baby.
How does it feel without me, baby?
I'm gettin' stronger without you baby.

And I'm done hopin'
that we can work it out.
I'm done with how it feels,
spinnin' my wheels, and
lettin' you drag my heart around.
And oh; and I'm done thinkin'
that you could ever change.
I know my heart will never be the same,
but I'm tellin' myself I'll be okay.
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger.

Get a little bit stronger.
Just a little bit stronger.
A little bit; a little bit;
a little bit stronger.

Get a little bit stronger.

If you've been living under a rock with no Country music radio, you should

know that Brooks & Dunn have decided to call it quits and retire from the music business.

And, as any popular celebrity should, they've decided to add a special act to their farewell tour, "Last Rodeo": Sara Evans!

Usually, farewell concerts are supposed to be about the act that's retiring, but I'm sure everybody now knows that Sara Evans will be the focus of attention! ;). (Just kidding, all you Brooks & Dunn fans! Ronnie and Kix are amazing, and Country music would not have been the same without them!)

To catch Sara, Ronnie, and Kix all together in action, please buy your tickets between August 13 - 15. (Merle Haggard and Miranda Lambert have also been added as special guests.)

Around July 4th of 1776, the United States celebrated an amazing feat: Separation from Great Britain and becoming an independent nation.

On February 5, 1971, the United States also benefited: Sara Evans was born!

You can listen to Sara wish everyone a Happy 4th of July below.

Jake Owen, who is featured in the latest issue of PEOPLE Country Magazine for being a hot bachelor, is asked by interviewers what kind of woman he likes.

Jake divulges that he wants his woman to be hot, confident, and humorous! (Ring a bell?)

"Personally, I think Sara Evans is HOT! I'm not going to lie. Sara Evans is hot. She's very womanly. She's a beautiful woman . . . " says Jake.

Upon reading the article, Sara tweets, "Hey Jake Owen! Thanks for the sweet compliment in People Country! Very flattered!

Columbia, MO -- The Mid-Missouri Chapter of the American Red Cross had a very special celebrity advocate yesterday: Sara Evans!

Sara, who has received an award for being a member of the Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet since 2005, donated an autographed guitar, the red dress she wore on the back of the Greatest Hits album (pictured), and a backstage pass to her later concert to a local Red Cross fundraiser.

Oh. And did I mention this all took place in her hometown!? =)

Denice Eidson, who won Sara's donations by bidding $500, said, "Our local Red Cross chapter relies on local donations to help local people before and after disasters. Sara Evans has helped us tremendously in those efforts.”
