1. White Liar
Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White liar
You better be careful what you do
I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes
If they ever found you out
You better be careful what you say
It never really added up any way
I got friends in this town
Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White liar
You said you went out to a bar
And walked some lady to her car
But your face has more to tell
Cuz my cousin saw you on the street
With a red head named Bernice
Turns out you don't lie too well
Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White liar
Here's a bombshell just for you
Turns out I've been lying too
Yeah I'm a white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of my tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White Liar作者: wei02242001 時間: 2010-1-30 03:43 AM
2. Only Prettier
Well I've been saved by the grace of southern charm
I got a mouth like a sailor and yours is more like a hallmark card
If you wanna pick a fight well I'm gonna have to say good night
I don't have to be hateful, I can just say bless your heart
And even though I don't belong with your high life friends
Doesn't mean we don't get together and try to make amens
It's easier can you see lets agree to just disagree
We don't have to like each other but its sure fun to pretend
So lets shake hands and reach across those party lines
You got your friend just like I got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We're just like you, only prettier
Everybody says you gotta know your enemies
Even if they only weigh a hundred pounds and stand five foot three
If you just smile and behave you could always get your way
It's a universal plan that'll get you where you can in all societies
So lets shake hands and reach across those party lines
You got your friend just like I got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We're just like you, only prettier
So lets shake hands and reach across those party lines
You got your friend just like I got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We're just like you, only prettier
Well I'll keep drinkin' and you'll keep gettin' skinnier
Hey I'm just like you only prettier作者: wei02242001 時間: 2010-1-30 03:44 AM
3. Dead Flowers
I feel like the
flowers in this vase,
He just brought em'
home one day,
"Ain't they beautiful"
he said.
They've been here in
the kitchen and the
water's turnin' grey.
They're sittin' in
the vase but now
they're dead.
Dead flowers.
I feel like this
long string of lights.
They lit up our whole
house on christmas day.
But now it's January
and the bulbs have
all burned out,
But still they hang.
Like dead flowers.
He ain't feelin' anything
My love, my hurt, or the
sting of this rain.
I'm livin' in a hurricane.
All he can say is,
"Man ain't it such a nice day"
Yeah, Yeah.
I feel like the
tires on this car.
They said we won't go far
but we're still rollin'
I look in the rear view
and I see dead flowers in the yard
and that string of lights.
But and it ain't glowin'
Like dead flowers.
Like dead flowers.
He ain't feelin' anything
My love, my hurt, or the
sting of this rain.
I'm drivin' through a hurricane.
All he can say is,
"Man ain't it such a nice day"
Hey, hey I guess we'll just
go a ways, like dead flowers.
Like dead flowers.
Dead flowers.作者: wei02242001 時間: 2010-1-30 03:44 AM
4. Me And Your Cigarettes
(Miranda Lambert, Rick Lambert & Heather Little)
Me and Charlie boy used to go walking
Sittin in the woods behind my house
When bein lovers meant a stolen kiss
And holding hands with nobody else around
Charlie said he wanted to get married
But we were only ten so we’d have to wait
He said we’d never let our love run dry
Like so many do these days
So we treat our love like a firefly
Like it only gets to shine for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar
With holes in the top
And run like hell to show it off
Oh promises we made when we’d go walkin
That’s just me and Charlie talking
Charlie always said he’d like to leave here
So he turned 18 and left our sleepy town
Letters came and went and I kept waiting
For Charlie to come back
And bring the life he’d found
Funny how time and distance change you
The road you take
Don’t always lead you home
You can start a love with good intentions
And you look up and it’s gone
So you treat your love like a firefly
Like it only gets to shine for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar
With holes in the top
And run like hell to show it off
Oh promises we made when we’d go walkin
That’s just me and Charlie talking
Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie
How we thought we knew it all back then
Now I’d give anything to feel love
From a child’s heart again
So you treat your love like a firefly
Like it only gets to shine for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar
With holes in the top
And run like hell to show it off
Oh promises we made when we’d go walkin
That’s just me and Charlie
Me and Charlie talking作者: wei02242001 時間: 2010-1-30 03:45 AM
5. Maintain The Pain
I put a bullet in my radio
Something just hit me funny I don’t know
Just pulled the trigger going down the road
You slammed the door and knocked me off the wire
Been walking lines and you’ve been burning tires
Slow and uneasy ain’t that what you like
It’s insane
It’s in vain
You stay to maintain the pain
I hear your name and man it burns a hole
I swear I hate you but I can’t let go
The kind of damage that you can’t console
It’s all in vain
It’s all insane
I swear you’ll stay
I swear you’ll stay to maintain the pain
It’s all in vain
It’s all insane
I swear you’ll stay
I swear you’ll stay to maintain the pain
Maintain the pain作者: wei02242001 時間: 2010-1-30 03:46 AM
6. Airstream Song
Sometimes I wish I lived in airstream homemade curtains
Lit just like a gypsy
Break her heart and roll out of town
Cause gypsies never get tied down
Sometimes I wish I lived on a mountain
Drank from a stream
Instead of a fountain
I'd stay there, on top of the world
But I was born a red dirt girl
Unbridled, or tethered in tide
Safety of the fence
Or the danger of the ride
I'll always be unsatisfied
Sometimes I wish I lived by a pier
In a light houes with a chandler
I'd watch everybody's ships come in
And then I'd sail away with them
Unanchored in a storm
Or save me on the shore
If this is all I need
Why do I want more
Sometimes I wish I lived in airstream homemade curtains
Lit just like a gypsy作者: wei02242001 時間: 2010-1-30 03:52 AM
7. Makin' Plans
If I ever left this town
I'd never settle down
I'd just be wanderin' around
If I ever left this town
If I wasn't by your side
I'd never be satisfied
Nothin' would feel just right
If I wasn't by your side
'Cause I'm not easy to understand
But you know me like the back of your hand
I'm your girl and you're my man
And we're makin' plans....
We can go on and on
Won't ever feel too long
I'll always call you home
And we'll go on and on
'Cause I know you like the back of my hand
Got a heart of gold and a piece of land
I'm your girl and you're my man
And we're makin' plans....作者: wei02242001 時間: 2010-1-30 03:53 AM
8. Time To Get A Gun
My neighbor’s car got stole last night right out of his driveway
We heard the dog ‘a barking, we never paid them any mind
And Mary says she’s gonna lock the door from now on when we go away
I’ve been walking around this farm wondering if it’s time
Time to get a gun, that’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun
Last week a government man was there when I walked out of my back door
He said “I’m sorry to bother you ma’am” it don’t matter anymore
‘Cause even while we’re talking right here where we stand
They’re making plans for a four-lane highway and a big ole overpass
Time to get a gun, that’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun
Mary says she’s worried about herself and her kids
She’s never known anybody had a gun and her daddy never did
Well I think it should be up to me ‘cause when it’s all said and done
Somebody’s gotta walk into the night and I’m gonna be that one
Time to get a gun, that’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun
When the party is over it’s time to get a gun作者: wei02242001 時間: 2010-1-30 03:54 AM
9. Somewhere Trouble Don't Go
Devil had a daughter
Took him to deep water
Tried to kill him with a kiss
He said “Hey now honey
What about the money”
I said “I ain’t got time for this”
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don’t go
Make me, make me someone trouble don’t know
He said baby come inside
I said sorry I’ve got to ride
Sorry but I’ve got to ride
You know you could end up dead
Sleeping in the devil’s bed
Sleeping in the devil’s bed
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don’t go
Make me, make me someone trouble don’t know
Baby wants to drive my car
But he wants to go too far
But he wants to go too far
First comes love and it’s so fine
Then comes heartache right behind
Then comes heartache right behind
My baby used to be so sweet
Now he won’t come down my street
Now he won’t come down my street
All my plans got derailed
He locked up my heart in jail
He locked up my heart in jail
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don’t go
Make me, make me someone trouble don’t know作者: wei02242001 時間: 2010-1-30 03:54 AM
10. The House That Built Me
I know they say you cant go home again.
I just had to come back one last time.
Ma'am I know you don't know me from Adam.
But these handprints on the front steps are mine.
And up those stairs, in that little back bedroom
is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar.
And I bet you didn't know under that live oak
my favorite dog is buried in the yard.
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing.
Out here its like I'm someone else,
I thought that maybe I could find myself
if I could just come in I swear I'll leave.
Won't take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me.
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years.
From 'Better Homes and Garden' magazines.
Plans were drawn, concrete poured,
and nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to mama's dream.
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing.
Out here its like I'm someone else,
I thought that maybe I could find myself.
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave.
Won't take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me.
You leave home, you move on and you do the best you can.
I got lost in this whole world and forgot who I am.
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing.
Out here its like I'm someone else,
I thought that maybe I could find myself.
If I could walk around I swear I'll leave.
Won't take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me.作者: wei02242001 時間: 2010-1-30 03:55 AM
11. Love Song
I was standing there crying in the kitchen
It's been one of those mornings that's gonna last all day
And he comes in, wraps his arms around me
And I don't even have to say a thing
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
He comes in, slams the door behind him
And he can't hide the worry on his face
Even though I got a million things to tell him
I know right now he just needs some space
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
Everybody always sings about it
How they're never gonna live without it
We don't even have to talk about it
'Cuz We're livin it out
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song作者: wei02242001 時間: 2010-1-30 03:55 AM
12. Heart Like Mine
I ain't the kind you take home to mama
I ain't the kind to wear no ring
Somehow I always get stronger
When I'm on my second drink
Even though I hate to admit it
Sometimes I smoke cigarettes
The Christian folks say I should quit it
And I just smile and say "god bless"
Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he'd understand a heart like mine
Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo
But said he loved me anyway
My brother got the brains of the family
So I thought I'd learn to sing
Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he'd understand a heart like mine
And I'll fly away from it all one day
And I'll fly, I'll fly away
But these are the days that I will remember
When my names called on a roll
He'll meet me with two long stem glasses
And make a toast to me coming home
Cause I heard Jesus he drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet he'd understand
Understand a heart like mine
Oh yes he would作者: wei02242001 時間: 2010-1-30 03:56 AM
13. Sin For A Sin
I remember vividly what that vision did to me
You laying with her in our bed
Love can be a tradgedy
When you do what you did to me
All I'm seeing now is red
I need to repent
A sin for a sin
Bible told me to forget
All those who trespass against
Tread their feet on sacred ground
Bad things come with consequence
What feels good, hurts in the end
Dont want to think about that now
I need to repent
A sin for a sin
Fire and brimstone
Dirt and a headstone
Bury them, baby
Along with your sins
Hear the thunder
Six feet under
Hit your knees
Wont do it again
Guilty pleasure
Ease the pain
Whisky runnin through my veins
Too late to save you now
I need to repent
A sin for a sin
Fire and brimstone
Dirt and a headstone
Bury them deep
Along with your sins
hear the thunder
Six feet under
hit your knees
wont do it again
I remember vividly
What that vision did to me作者: wei02242001 時間: 2010-1-30 03:56 AM
14. That's The Way The World Goes 'round
I know a gal got a lot to lose
She's a pretty nice lady but she’s kinda confused
Got muscles in her head ain't never been used
Thinks she owns half of this town
Starts drinking heavy gets a big red nose
And she beats her old man with her pantyhose
And takes him out and buys him new clothes
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
One minute you’re up and the next you’re down
It's a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round
Well I was sittin’ in the tub just a countin’ my toes
When the radiator broke and the water froze
Got stuck in the ice without any clothes
Naked as the eyes of a clown
I was crying ice cubes hoping that I'd croak
When the sun came through the window and the ice all broke
I said son of a gun man that’s just a joke
And that's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
One minute you’re up and the next you’re down
It's a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round作者: wei02242001 時間: 2010-1-30 03:57 AM
15. Virginia Bluebell
Carrying the weight on the end of a limb
your just waitin for somebody
to pick you up again
shaded by a tree, can't live up to a rose
all you ever wanted
was a silent place to grow
Pretty little thing
sometimes you gotta look up
and let the world see
all the beauty that your made of
cause the way you hang you head
nobody can tell
your my Virginia bluebell
my Viginia bluebell
Even through the snow
a flower can bloom
you just need a little push
spring is coming soon
umbrella in the rain
they'll roll off your back
better watcha can realize what you have
Pretty little thing
sometimes you gotta look up
and let the world see
all the beauty that your made of
cause the way you hang you head
nobody can tell
your my Virginia bluebell
my Viginia bluebell
Put a little light in the darkest places
put a little smile on the saddest faces
Pretty little thing
sometimes you gotta look up
and let the world see
all the beauty that your made of
cause the way you hang you head
nobody can tell
your my Virginia bluebell
my Viginia bluebell
