Daughter of Country
I’m a daughter of country
She raised my whole life
Cuz my momma was out getting stoned
My daddy, he left us to find his new wife
Patsy kept me from being alone
Music was family
It was all that I had
Embraced by cigarettes and a dance
I’d hear the band play
Dreamed I’d be up there some day
Made me feel like I had a chance
I’m a daughter of country
I struggled a lot
Had trouble paying my bills
I slept in my car and woke up in the bars
Loretta, she gave me my thrills
Music was family
It was all that I had
Always getting lost in a song
When I was sad and feeling alone
I’d listen all night long
SOLO
Music was family
It was all that I had
Embraced by cigarettes and a dance
I’d hear those songs play
Knew that I’d be ok
Made me feel like I had a chance
I’m a daughter of country
I smile through the hurt
And I’ll just keep moving on
The ladies of country
They showed me the way
And taught me that I could be strong
I’m a daughter of country
I’m a child of pain

Alone
Stayed out too late last night
Now today is gonna be a fight
And I know
That’s just how it goes
Everyday starts to feel the same
I work real hard then go out again
And drink more
Stay out til four
I wanna be alone
Disconnect the phone
I was made for more
I look around and all i see
Are the faces of the people wishing they were free
And I know
That’s just how it goes
So tonight I think i will
Pack up the truck
Make a run for the hills
I don’t know
Just where I’ll go
I wanna be alone
Disconnect the phone
I was made for more
I wanna be alone
Disconnect the phone
I was made for more
As I look in the rearview mirror
I see that city getting smaller
Every mile i drive away
I feel little bit taller
I wanna be alone
Disconnect the phone
I was made for more
I wanna be alone
Disconnect the phone
I was made for more

Little Birds
Sun comes up love birds start singing in the morning
Sun goes down and the nightingales they say
Live this life like your heart always wanted
Don’t look back, look ahead to another day
Laying in the sun and the dragonfly is playing
Takes a break and lands right on my soul
Stared at me and told me all her secrets
Youth’s still in your mind while your getting old
Break
The bees and flowers they have called a meeting
To discuss with us everything they know
They figured out how to live together
If we did the same how we could grow
Break

Leaving it all up to You

Leaving it all up to You
It’s a blood red sunrise
You’ve got fear in your eyes
You turn to me to see what to do
But if I am wrong, I won’t be here too long
So I’m leaving it all up to you
Chorus
I’m leaving it all up to you
That’s what I decided to do
It might all fall apart, but I’m clear from the start
Cuz, I’m leaving it all up to you
The world is a mess
We’ve got civil unrest
A plague, no bars and no food
But I am ok and plan to keep it that way
So I’m leaving it all up to you
Chorus
Solo
I got power and money and my sh** tastes like honey
I could break all the problems in two
It could all go away but I want it to stay
So I’m leaving it all up to YOU!
Chorus
Chorus
I’m leaving it all up to you

Scars
Standing here looking in the mirror
Staring at all of my scars
Each one tells a different kind of story
Of how I’ve come, so far
This one’s when I fell off my bike
A wide eyed crazy little girl
I ran and cried to my mama
To take away
All the hurt
Chorus:
These are my scars
They’re who we are
We all fall
And we all
Have our scars
This one’s for that wild night in Memphis
Made new friends at every single stop
Beale street can be so damn crazy
This is the one
That made em talk
Chorus
Bridge:
Some are fun
And some are ugly
Some make me smile
Some make me sad
Each one of them makes me stronger
To shine a light on my past
This one’s when I lost that little baby
Lord how I cried and I cried
This one’s deep inside and you can’t see it
It’s the one
I like to hide
Chorus X2

Oh Lord
When I wake up
In the morning
I do my best to smile
Pour my coffee, turn on the news
Things have been bad for such a long while
Punch my timeclock and lookaround
No body’s looking at each other, their heads are all down
Chorus
Oh lord, take my hand
This is more than I can stand
Can’t bear this burden anymore
Oh lord, set me free
Is this all you got for me
If it is, then show me the door
When I wake up in the morning
And it’s all still the same
Pour my coffee
Take a walk outside
Try to leave it all behind

Million Lives

Million Lives
I’ve heard your point a million times
I’ve lived a million different lives
Don’t try and tell me how to fight
I’ve lived a million different lives
You try and cut me down to size
When you believe in all the lies (they say to you)
Your soapbox is so high
You try and cut me down to size, but you can’t
Bridge
When you get rolling
There’s no slowing...your roll
You’re out of control
When you get going
There’s no knowing where it ends
Are we still friends
Are we still friends
Or is this where it ends?
I’ve lived a million different lives
I’ve learned to listen to all sides
Just because you’re wrong, doesn’t mean that you’re not strong
True change is opening your mind

Low
How many times will you say you’re sorry
And how many times will I say it’s ok
Cause I can’t live in your suffering any longer
And I can’t feel this low anymore
Feel this low anymore
There was a time I thought you’d get better
But now I see there’s no hope of that
I can’t seem to help you any longer
There’s a place in my heart
Where you’ll always live
But I can’t live in your suffering any longer
And I can’t feel this low anymore
Feel this low anymore
Bridge
But I made it out alive
And I didn’t think that was possible
And when I look into your eyes
There’s just a shadow of what used to be
The stars are out tonight
They feel so right
I close my eyes
And tears roll down
I’ll say goodbye
I know this is over
This is a fight
I just can’t win
But I can’t live in your suffering any longer
I can feel this low anymore
Feel this low anymore

Taken This Long
I’ve had good friends die
But I managed to live
And I don’t know how
With the things that I did
Don’t get me wrong, I was a kid
It’s taken this long
To finally relive
10th of July
A day that changed my whole life
I read the Doctors eyes
He was trying not to cry
I was so frail and weak
But still strong in my head
I just wouldn’t believe
The words that he said
Said I didn’t have long
6 months to live
But I knew in my heart
I had more to give
I just refused, to believe truth
I had so many things, I needed to do
Solo
I just refused, to believe truth
I had too many things, I needed to do
I should have been gone
But since that I’m here
I’m gonna do all the things
That I used to fear
I’ve taken for granted
But not anymore
I’m not gonna knock
I’m gonna kick down your door 2x’s
