I hear a song float across the open water
A tune I have heard many times before
Sent to me from a distant gypsy soul
Over the waves to my lone shore
Music surrounds me like a gentle lover’s embrace
Each note resonates in my heart
I hear you call me in the wind and I will answer
Space and time cannot keep us apart
CHORUS
Bring to me your simple melody
Sing with me in sweet harmony
Words so true as if I’d written them myself
I know your song by heart
I long to recognize the whisper of your touch
And breathe in the sigh of your kiss
I’ve held your story deep inside my soul
Every song I’ve sung led me to this
CHORUS +
Space and time will never keep us apart
I know your song by heart

Bent & Determined

I'm bent and determined to make you love me
And convince you we have a special chemistry
I'll show you how, I'm the one, c'mon now, we could have some fun
When I'm bent and determined, it's as good as done
I'm bent and determined, baby, we were meant to be
I'll do anything, to help you see
I would scream, I would fuss, I would holler, I would cuss, it's true
I'm bent and determined, all I need is you
(I should be) careful what I'm wishin'
At the end of my mission
I'll get what I think I want
But soon as I get it
I might just regret it
And realize that I don't (oh no!)
Now that I got you
And I've thought it through
I really need some time alone
I know for certain
I'm done with all the hurtin'
It's better to be on my own
Now I'm bent and determined to make you leave me
It's been a big mistake, but I'll let you down gently
I won't scream, I won't fuss, I won't holler, I won't cuss, oh no
I do apologize, it's time for you to go
It's not you, it's all me, I had an epiphany
I'm bent and determined, all I need is me

Feelin' Bluegrass Blue

My man ain’t my man no more
He pulled his boots on and walked right out the door
With a travelin’ man you never can tell
Said he had to ramble and I said fare thee well
Now that’s where the story should end,
But evil thoughts started creepin’ in
See my man had treated me wrong
So this turned into a vengeful song
CHORUS
Guess I could have shot him, Or stabbed him with a knife
Coulda caught him cheating, or been an abused wife
But why would I hurt him when a song will pull me through
My murder ballad has me feelin…. feelin’ bluegrass blue
Now killin’ really ain’t my style,
Accused of murder in a jury trial
Found guilty I would spend my life in jail,
Found innocent, I could wear a long black veil…
CHORUS
It’s been a while since he said goodbye,
I’ll be better off in the sweet by and by
I realized I had to let him be,
But I’ll always have my deadly fantasy
CHORUS
My man ain’t my man no more,
He pulled his boots on and walked right out the door…

I remember, the first time I saw you
Played a show next to my record store
You were all wild eyes and black boots and tattoos
Had the crowd begging for more
One time you came back, we hung out all night
Went to eat at the only place open late
Over eggs & coffee, you told me bout your new song
(You said) come hear it now it can't wait
CHORUS
You and me, at the Waffle House dancin' slow
Your CD playing on my car stereo
Pleeeease, hold me close don’t let me go
Sing me your song again…
A few months later, I saw you on TV
No surprise, I knew you would go far
You were all styled up, cute, but kinda freaky
The Georgia boy is finally a star
The years have flown by, and now you're a big name
You rock the world and I'm still playing here
But when I drive by that yellow and black sign
I see you singing sweetly in my ear…
CHORUS
Now I know it's too late for us to, have some kind of big romance
But I was hoping if you were around, maybe we could have a chance
To meet up in the Waffle House parking lot and have one more... slow... dance...
CHORUS…
Let’s dance like we did back then
I'm here for you, just say when

Classy Chassis

She was a fast machine, hear her engine scream
the hippest rockin' betty that you've ever seen
she could hit the gas, and make the pass
everything about her was posh first class
That girl knew how to make the scene
Well she's older now, but you're in for a thrill
She's a hot rod mama with plenty of skill
a highway fanatic, a real Kruze-o-matic
a vintage model gives all the boys static
That girl can sure make time stand... still
CHORUS
(She's a) Classy chassis
Classy chassis
She's so sassy
Classy chassis
She's not brand new but she'll fire right up for you
She had souped up speed, she'd take the lead
a sharp prototype that everybody needs
She could set the pace, and run the race
a red hot queenie revved up for the chase
That girl would turn heads guaranteed
Now years have gone by, and she's still pretty fly
Got a few more miles with loads of style
Been around the block, she can beat the clock
No doubt about it she knows how to rock
That girl will always drive um wild
CHORUS
Done it ain't doin' it
Gotta keep on provin' it
Keep your wheels on the track
Forget the mirrors, no lookin back
green flag is wavin, go, go, go
CHORUS

Say Anything (65 Songs)
03:15
|

Love dies, with their lies
Hide the truth behind earnest eyes
Say anything, hear them sing
Stories of true love, pretending
CHORUS
65 songs, all about love
Some pretty words to be proud of
65 songs, deny the pain
Love wouldn't hurt or go insane
But it's hard to tell the truth when it's all the same
Live their lies, in the lines
Love is lost, but they ignore the signs
Say anything, when they sing
Fantasies of love, what joy they bring
CHORUS
It's not the same
Love & pain
Who's to blame?
When it's all the same?

It’s been 11 months since we met
8 since our first kiss
That’s all it took, you had my heart
Your touch I couldn’t resist
It’s been 6 months since you left me the first time
2 weeks since the last
I hoped I could count on you
But now that dream has passed
CHORUS:
You really did a number on me
Oh, oh baby can’t you see
When 2 hearts make 1 connection
Shouldn’t be so much deception
Our love was destiny
But it wasn’t meant for 3
You really did a number on me
We shared 12 romantic evenings
And 7 music shows
We danced so close I felt your heartbeat
Fell in love, I suppose
Gave me 9 gifts to remember you by
There were 4 from me to you
But souvenirs won’t compensate
For what you put me through
CHORUS
Now you might think that I’m just keeping score
But I won’t compete for you anymore
Your indecision doesn’t calculate
By the time you figure it out, it’s gonna be too late
(too little, too late)
CHORUS

Birthmark
04:59
|

Driving down an old country road, I'm the girl in the back seat, watchin the world go by
On our way to a family funeral, "Daddy, who are we saying goodbye to this time?"
After every graveside service, find the headstone with the little lamb, put a flower in the vase
They never say much about her, my sister that I never knew, "Mama, why is she in this place?"
I'm a little girl with questions
(They say) "Hush child, everything is fine"
All I know is she had green eyes
And a birthmark just like mine
CHORUS
So many questions, so many secrets
Push down the pain deep in our hearts
We try to hold it, but it will surface
We wear the damage on our face…
Like a birthmark…like a birthmark
Driving hours far from home-I'm a newly widowed wife, they wait for me to arrive
He has fooled me for the last time, with all his lies did I believe our marriage could survive?
And I know our son will ask me, what happened to my daddy? Why did he have to go?
I'm not one for keeping secrets, but will the truth hurt him? Does he really need to know?
He's a little boy with questions
I say, “Hush baby, everything is fine”
I only know he has his father's eyes
And a birthmark just like mine
CHORUS

No Time to Pine
03:29

Your music made me smile
Forget my troubles for a while
Must have danced a country mile
Went back stage at the bar
I let you play my guitar
Knew it wouldn’t get very far… ‘cause..
CHORUS
I’ve got no time to pine, no time to whine
No time to wish you were mine
Got more important things to do
Than spend my time thinking ‘bout you
No time to pine…I’m doin’ fine
Your kisses were so sweet
Nearly swept me off my feet
Gave my heart an extra beat
Made me feel like I was “the one”
But we were just having fun
It was over before it had begun
CHORUS
Now some things aren’t meant to last
Run real hot and burn out fast
As they say this too shall pass
But pretty soon you’ll be back again
There’s no telling when
All I know is until then…
CHORUS
