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 

ONE FOR THE AGES

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

Run and Take your tail with you

I might be the ghost who haunts you

There’s no convincing you of anything

I am the one you want, too

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

3x tag to end

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
