You Were Never Meant For Me
I knew something wasn’t right
When you left me home last night
You said you had somewhere to be
I heard your voice was cold
And it might have been too bold
But I had to try and see
So I followed you to town
Saw you were whiskey bound
And felt that old familiar fear
You walked beneath that neon light
Right out of my sight
And I knew the end was here
whoaaaa now it’s up to me
Whoaaa I'll show you how to be
whoaaaa now it’s up to me
Whoaaa I'll show you how to be
Whooooooo I was too blind to seeeeeeee
You were never meant for me
No turning back now
had to know somehow
What the depth of your crimes were
walked in and took a seat
You didn’t notice me
Because I saw your lips meet hers
The price you’ll pay is high
Consider this goodbye
You won’t hurt me again
Let It Break Your Heart
Let that wind blow
Let that love go
let it tear you apart
let that cold in
Let the world spin
Let it break your heart
Your hands are breaking Your life has been hard
You've been made brittle and scarred
You cover them up but the cracks they still show
they come creeping back like the wind and the snow
Your heaven ain't big It's right here below
Don't mind the sun or the cold
Don't mind the darkness or the next day
you've got your smile and time wasting away
You know this place like the back of your hand
You know each inch of this land
The lights of the freeway they glow in the distance
But you know you're home behind this old wood fence
And I say...
Good Night To Make A Bad Mistake
You look like the man you hire/ when you're guilty
I can see right through/ that smirk
You should stay away from me/ I know just what you are, you see,
and All your normal tricks/ ain't gonna work
I've given you enough attention
You're a black hole of affection
Who's buried in those walls you had to make
But I've dug through deeper in the past
I'm strong enough and built to last
It's a good night to make a bad mistake
You're everything I never wanted/ I need someone to pray for me
Please just shut your mouth/ you ridiculous man
Let's get this done, / Let's call it fun
Let’s do this/ just because we can
It's not that you ain't pretty/ you just look better under bar lights
But I see you, boy, and I see death
There's no flower underneath your pillow And my dreams won't be sweet
I think need/ to take a breath
I Know We’re Okay
I'm dreaming of someplace, far away
And time to be with you
These walls surround me, close me in
Keep me far from you
I hold your hand
You say my name
And I know
We're okay
You take my hand
I say your name
And I know
We're okay
We could run away right now
Sell everything we own
Where we'd go God only knows
To a place we've always known
Find the splintered rails, of an old front porch
Strong beneath my hands
Wrap my arms round your shoulders
And look out on the land
Darlin'
Clouds are boiling
In the distance
And I’ve nowhere left to run
Oh my darling oh my darling
What is it that
I have done
You had longed so long to see me
And you thought I felt the same
But my heart it seems was wicked
And I lied and played my games
How I hurt you And I meant to
For I’d been hurt before
And I meant to yes I meant to
Pass the hurt on once more
You saw hope and saw salvation
You wanted it all to be true
But I led you from your family
Just to be cruel
Now the rain has started falling
On this dry and thirsting land
And I’ll never quite forget how
I destroyed an innocent man
Young And In Love
We're not the losers
We're not the winners
We're the creators
We're no beginners
Sometimes we're believers
Always sinners
We've never been saints, but
Sometimes there's a glimmer..
You give me hope
Because you know
Young and in love Is good
Old and in love is better
You give me hope
Because you know
Young and in love Is good
Old and in love is better
When we were younger
thought love had to be
Fireworks and tempers
Raging hopelessly
But now that I'm older
And I can see better
You're kind and I trust you
Nothing else matters
Billings To Pueblo
Caught a greyhound in Spokane
Without anything much planned
Just a trip for the weekend
He never knew quite what happened
At a Montana bus stop
He saw her and his heart stopped
A half shirt and a dead tooth
There she stood by the ticket booth
Just the right type of trashy, Just the right type of classy
Who knew love could be found, On a southbound greyhound...
Oh their love was one for the ages
The kind they write on those romance book pages
Whatever way she goes That's the way he goes
As long as they both go From Billings to Pueblo
Caught him looking in Cheyenne
By Denver they were past holding hands
Making out in the backseat
Knowing they were finally complete
Time was short but love is fast
They knew it wasn't meant to last
His ride would end in Amarillo
She'd say goodbye to him in Pueblo
And they'd never forget
And they'd never regret
That they both took a bet
On someone they just met
Just the right type of trashy, Just the right type of classy
Who knew love could be found, On a southbound greyhound...
(Oh yeah they'd sing) our love Is one for the ages
The kind that they’d write on those romance book pages
Whatever way you go, that's the way I go
As long as we both go from billings to pueblo
Whatever way you go, that's the way I go
As long as we both go from billings to pueblo
Hey Love
Hey love
What do we do about you
Hey love
What do we do about you
Every time I turn around
You’re trying to bring me down
Hey love, hey love
I keep my heart locked up tight
And my head deep in the sand
But that don’t stop me hearing about
The things you do secondhand
No matter what I do or say
that pain still finds me anyway
Hey love
I can’t get away
I keep being told
To expect great disappointment
I keep being told
The end is near
No matter what you bring to me
I can’t seem to shake you free
Hey love
Please let me be
Hey love, hey love
Hey love, hey love
Hey love, hey love
A Delicate Process
When it all seems lost
and I’ve no hope
I think about you
When I’m just surviving
But I don’t give up
I think about you
The darkness keeps coming
The hard times don’t stop
But then I think about you
Those nights can be deceptively long
I don’t trust em
But I do trust you
You make it good
You make it great
You make it all
Worth the wait
It takes awhile
But you make me smile
It’s a delicate process
But so worth the wait
My heart is hurting
My dreams are undone
But still I think about you
When all I can do
Is run till I drop
I think about you
I might just believe
In things I don’t see
When I think about you
You make me think
There’s good days to come
When I think about you
‘Cause you make it good....
It is well
All is well
It is well
In my soul x4
Tiger
I will not consume your darkness
Will not suffer any fools
Will not tolerate your hatred
And I Will not be your tool
I won’t let the hatred take me
No I will not lose this fight
I will not let you make me
Dim my light into your night
The tigers out
The tigers out
Destroyed her cage
The tiger’s out
She’s out she’s out
The tigers out
Destroyed her cage
The tigers out
She’s out she’s out
She’s out she’s out
Destroyed her cage
The tiger’s out
I might want to see you suffer
I might want to see your pain
I might want to see you hurting
As you lose this wicked game
Although I wont bring judgement
I do not wish you ill
I am the one you need to fear
I am a bitter pill
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
All right
The tigers out
The tigers out
Destroyed her cage
The tiger’s out
She’s out she’s out
The tigers out
Destroyed her cage
The tigers out
She’s out she’s out
She’s out she’s out
Destroyed her cage
The tiger’s out
The tigers out
The tigers out
Destroyed her cage
The tigers out
YOU CAN'T KILL GHOSTS
Will Not Fade Away
I’d leave you standing in the cold
So I wouldn’t have to feel the chill
I’d leave you stranded by the roadside
And I’d be safe behind the wheel
I won’t light myself on fire
won’t step in front of no train for you
I don’t care what you might think
My head is strong, my heart is too
The sky is dark
My mind is black
I am filled with rage
There’s a rhyme
But there’s no reason
And I’m finally
Outta this cage
I’m cold inside
but not afraid
When my time
finally comes
I will not fade away
I will not fade away
For you
You said I’m bad, but for a bad woman
I might be one of the best
Walls and doors torn down
I was forced to make this mess
Someday I will be judged
But I don’t think it’ll be for this
I should have been right out that door
The first time you clenched your fist
CHORUS
I said I’m going,
Yes I’m going
Leaving anger
and my shame
I’ll be in the wind
and in the dust
taking nothing
but my name
CHORUS 2x
I will not fade away
For you
We Will Rise
Every day, when I wake up
I could be great, is what i say
But when the chance, it comes along
I always look, the other way
Every day when I wake up
I could be strong, is what I say
But when it’s time to move along
I choose to stay, i choose to stay
Am I wrong, am I right, can I ever win this fight?
But I will rise
I will rise
I will rise
I will rise
hear my joy
hear my cry
And i will rise
Keep finding ways, To waste my time
Keep finding trouble, lost my mind
I don’t try but it comes out anyway
Keep being cruel, but i wanna be kind
Keep letting rage fill up this space
Keep letting rage control this place
Gonna cut my mouth wide open
Rip this mask right off my face
Am I wrong, am I right can I ever win this fight?
But I will rise
I will rise
I will rise
I will rise
hear my joy
hear my cry
And i will rise
Instrumental
Am I wrong, am I right can I ever win this fight?
But we will rise x9
Can't Say Goodbye Completely
I wake up
My tongue made of velvet
That’s part of a bar seat
That’s been there
For five decades past
My body is shaking
My stomach is nails
And I feel like I swallowed
My failures
My head's full of glass
I can’t say goodbye completely
You sold me on your lie
so sweetly I can’t say
goodbye to you completely
My skin hangs in sadness
There ain’t nothin good
So why do I still
want this madness
nobody should
Afraid of a pain
that I know is coming
So why not
rehearse for it now
Then do it again
lalala lalala
And I can’t say goodbye completely
And I can’t say goodbye completely
You sold me on your lie
so sweetly I can’t say
goodbye to you completely
Drunk And Lost In Tennessee
Drunk and lost in Tennessee
Where else in the world could I be
That would leave me so/ Sad and low
But drunk and lost in Tennessee
Honey it was just a little fight
Won't you turn off that light
I’ll tell you more in the morning
This state should come with a warning
And while I’m glad that you’re with me
I don’t remember things clearly
But I know come sunrise….I’ll..still…be…
Chorus
I know I started off fine/ Just having a good time
What was it I was drinking/ That got me this far from thinking
I can't say how I got here/ But it probably wasn’t light beer
Now the trouble…that I’m in…is clear
Chorus
seems each time I'm in this town
I just can't put that bottle down
I keep on breaking your heart
These nights are tearing us apart
And it seems that you can’t see that this will be the end of me
Cause this aint the last time…that…I'll ..be
Whole Heart
I loved her with my whole heart
But she loved me a whole lot harder
Never wanted to Leave my side
And I could never love another
The way that I loved her, I could never even try
I loved her with my whole heart
She loved me a whole lot harder
And I know I won’t recover From the day we said goodbye
She was a bright spot, a bright dot
In a dark dark sky
Bet I won’t find another like her
Won’t even try
Sometimes you lose a gift
Sometimes You say goodbye
She was a bright spot, a bright dot
In a dark dark sky
She had a heart that was
A Beautiful sponge
She soaked up all my tears
And absorbed all my love
When I was hurt, I was a mess
She fixed me up, she got it done
She had a heart that was
A beautiful sponge
Ghost Who Haunts You

I am the ghost who haunts you
I am the ghost who haunts you
I am the ghost who haunts you
I am the ghost who haunts you
All These Ways
When I first saw you on that barstool
I knew exactly what love means
Although at first i was so ladylike
I'm not exactly what I seem
Yeah I took you home that evening
And I swore I’d make you mine
And what feels likes decades later
I’m still trying to find out why…….
(there’s) All these ways you make me crazy
All these ways you rile me up
All these ways you mean the world to me
And I never want to stop
Now we’ve made it through the easy times
Now we’re in the thick of things
Now we’re hanging on for dear life
And seeing what the future brings
Now we’re in this for the long haul
It’s what they call domestic bliss
And every now and then you prove to me
That you still know how to kiss
(there’s) All these ways you make me crazy
All these ways you rile me up
All these ways you mean the world to me
And I never want to stop
(there’s) All these ways you make me crazy
All these ways you rile me up
All these ways you mean the world to me
And I never want to stop

Everything You Taught Me
I know how to hike for miles
I know how to light a fire
I know how to pitch a tent and
I know how to change a tire
I know how to play some instruments how to read the notes
I learned everything you asked me
But it wasn’t quite enough
And I know how to ride a horse
I know how to fly a plane
I know how to cry in silence
I know how to sit in pain
Everything you taught me
Everything you taught me
You didn’t mean to teach me
Everything you taught me
I know how to get angry
and how to pitch a fit
I know how to blame everyone
And not own my own shit
I know how to rob and steal
how to lie to those you love
I know exactly how to cheat
I know what hurtin someone does
And I know how to ride a horse
I know how to fly a plane
I know how to cry in silence
I know how to sit in pain
Everything you taught me
Everything you taught me
You didn’t mean to teach me
Everything you taught me
don’t quite know how to apologize
Or how to ask forgiveness
don’t know how to admit I’m wrong
guess you never taught me this
And I know how to ride a horse
I know how to fly a plane
I know how to cry in silence
I know how to sit in pain
Everything you taught me
Everything you taught me
You didn’t mean to teach me
Everything you taught me
Hotel With No Name
You've been on the road for weeks by now
No end to it in sight
The billboards start to catch your eye
Need to try to sleep tonight
the engine starts to whine and knock
You take it as a sign
Nowhere could be as bad
As what you've left behind
The mechanic seems resigned to life
He tells you the bad news
Parts you need are hard to find
You can stay long as you choose
There ain't nothing else for miles ahead
You've seen all there was behind
And although you start to feel unease
You'll probably be just fine
But the wind keeps blowing, like you've never
heard before
And something keeps on keeping you,
from moving out that door
It's like you've always been here
It's always been the same
You feel the slip of something cold
Inside your brain
You cry out to those lonely plains
But no one hears a thing
You're living and you're dying
At the hotel with no name
The old brick buildings tell the tale
Of grander days they knew
It all looks lovely here at first
It's hard to tell what's true
Are you just here by accident
Luck of the draw they say
Or is there something that brought you here
And makes you need to stay
The bottles start to pile inside
Your lonely room for one
Been days since their service came
You're bout to come undone
You make a vow, it's time to change
It's time to leave this place
But when you look in the mirror
You're not sure you see your face
Torch The House
We torched the house
Watched it burn
Down to the ground
Everything turned
From wood to ash
Bone into dust
All we could love
All we could trust
We torched the house
I’d be with you
And I’d miss you
Don’t know if I
I should kill or kiss you
don’t know if I
Should even try
don’t know if I should
Should let this die
I said to you
I was no angel
You said to me
You weren’t one too
So I ran
To hill from coast
But everyone knows
You can’t kill ghosts
So we torched the house
Watched it burn
Down to the ground
Everything turned
From wood to ash
Bone into dust
All we could love
All we could trust
We torched the house
