Just Like Country

Chorus: I wish my life was a country song Taylor swift or Tim Mcgraw He'd be the best just like in real life But I'd be the only one in his sight I'd be at the top of the heap Not crying over promises he didn't keep I wouldn't have heard him say goodbye And there wouldn't be a cloud in the sky Plus he'd be with me If my life was just like country   I've got my earbuds in And you know I'm Rockin The song drowns out the world Where he's a jerk and I'm just a girl I'm singing along until a slight delay And that song I don't want to hear plays I turn off the iPod, or at least I try But I've already heard the first few lines And now I'm dying inside Screaming silently 'Why?' CHORUS I can't help thinking this is wrong I'm crying over a dumb ol' song Tear after tear streak down my face My hearts beatin at a rediculous pace I touch the screen, unlock the pad And I finish that song though it tore me in half Because  CHORUS I'm really a mess by the time I get home A set down the iPod and pick up my phone I've get two, no three voicemails and a text to boot My friends want to know her name, I don't give a hoot And then the text message plays some familiar words And I smile through my tears because it's the song I just heard CHORUS

Under Lock and Key

Chorus: I've got my heart Locked behind bars It's still bleeding in it's cage Every time someone says your name But now at least I can get up, I can breathe With my heart under lock and key I can get over you and be me You know the night You said good-bye My heart was ripped out of me And cast out on the street Falling down two stories As I fell to my knees You didn't just break my heart It was like you ran over it with your car When you drove away Without a care for yesterday Chorus Even though the storm is raging I am sitting in the rain aching Can't get inside Because you were with me last time And I can't bear to sit in the shelter The weather is better Than the storm inside my head When I see your empty side of the bed Chorus Don't look now But I can see a car by the house It isn't mine, maybe just maybe It's you coming back to me A girl can dream But now it's a nightmare baby Cuz you are over me, I know And I've still got a ways to go Before I can let your memory Slip away from me So please get out I can't deal with you just now Try me in thirty years Once I've dried my broken tears Chorus

A Song For Anne

CHORUS:: Through laughter and my tears And your nervous fears Together we'll overcome it Whatever "it" is It can't be that bad Or maybe it can It doesn't matter in the end Because I have a good friend Little girl; Annie I gotta say thankies I wrote this song because you told me to Anne... this one's for you   We've got an easy friendship If I've got a Dr. Pepper I let you have a sip I might just grumble and complain, But I know you'd do the same What's yours is mine And the other way around most of the time CHORUS I'll lend my strength When you can't handle the weight, Of your problems no matter how hard you try And you'll hold my hand when I cry Make my enemy your enemy And give me answers in Geometry CHORUS On days that I seem too tall I'll slouch so you don't feel small And you will explain away my grades And not brag about your straight A's I know I can talk non stop So thanks for not brushing me off CHORUS We both have other friends too Duh! I don't know just you at school And I think we'll always be a little bit apart But we'll always be together at heart Besides, at the end of the day we always say "goodbye" And in the morning I'll expect a ride CHORUS

A Little Flirt Don't Hurt

Chorus: Baby you can't go around getting hurt Every single time I flirt It's just what guys do You gotta know I love you You can't blame me for flirting There's no harm in talking Baby it's innocent fun You should know you are my only one   I saw him this morning by his car I could tell even from this far She was wearing a skimpy top And they were talking non stop I cried and took the bus home I was surprised when he came back alone He was laughing as he said he was sorry And he told me Chorus It was like that for awhile Coming home with a big smile Smelling like perfume His ego filling the room I told him I was upset every day He would just say Chorus I was really mad now So I went out I came home drunk one night He was mad alright I just smiled and told him * Baby you can't go around getting hurt Every single time I flirt It's just what girls do right? Stay up all night You can't blame me for flirting That's what you say every evening So who are you to judge jerk! A little flirt don't hurt

Writing a letter to his Juliet

CHORUS: I'm writing a letter to his Juliet All the things I'll always regret I've got so much to say But not a word on the page This is a warning, a caution sign Because I learned it the hard way and cried You know I'm writing this in my life's blood No one should join me here in the mud Not even the girl who's got a hold Got her hands all over my Romeo   Sitting in the corner of my room Pretending I'm not going to break any time soon I'm old fashioned, I'm old news But you know it's the new girl he's into Trying so hard to forgive and forget I pretend that I'm just his best friend But I can't stay silent all the time It's bottled up so cold inside CHORUS Juliet don't play hard to get Because I know that boys likely to forget what he is chasing you for and when you look back, he isn't there anymore Then you are up the creak Lost on a familiar street Because the light has left the world And the woman he made you shrinks into a girl CHORUS If you want to keep a secret, don't give him any clues He's impossibly good at getting at the truth And when he says he doesn't want to talk about it He really means he is hate'n this Tell him you love him every day If you take him for granted I'll break your face I won't be able to help it if you want anyone but him Because you know he is everything I ever wanted CHORUS

Not Tonight

It was my turn to drive One minute everything was fine The next minute we were out of control Spinning over the icy road I got so scared I whispered a little prayer God please not tonight I know you will do what's right And I know we all must die someday But please don't let us die this way Not tonight God please not tonight My sweet heart joined the military Right after we decided to get married He was sent to a hot zone I was left all alone I was so scared I whispered a little prayer God please not tonight I know you will do what is right And I know we all must die someday But please don't let him die this way Not tonight God please not tonight He did come home to me A year later we were having a baby But something happened to our unborn girl Something that wouldnt let her see this world I was so scared I thought a little prayer God please not tonight I know you will do what is right And I know we all must die someday But please don't let her die this way Not tonight God please not tonight I was 82 he was 84 He clutched his arm and fell on the floor I fell to my knees crying While he lay before me dying I held his hand tight I knew it would be tonight I said to him, I'll meet you on the other side But I can't go with you tonight Not tonight

Confession

Chorus: We've been best friends forever Always sticking together Yeah we fight some days But we make up always Just know you mean more to me Than any guy I'll ever meet  But I've got a confession I'm in love with your ex Boyfriend     Chorus I met him last Saturday He took my breath away We just might dance together tonight I hope that's alright Chorus You say I've got to leave Before he hurts me I keep hoping he'll stick around Keep hoping I can keep this love I found Chorus Girl you were right about that guy He broke my heart and made me cry Now I know what you've been going through Now I'm really glad I've got you Chorus I love him to this day  I wish he'd look my way Then I might be able to say I was happy someday

Warning

Chorus: Last time I tried to leave You said to me Baby don't go I can't go on alone Please baby stay I need to hear you say You'll stay with me And if you are gonna leave Warn me please Well consider this your warning Cuz I'm leaving in the morning       I caught you again This is the end Of our relationship baby It's the end of the story Chorus I packed my things I left my ring On the TV So you would see Chorus I gotta go home to my mother And tell her we are over Tell her to cancel the wedding Yeah honey you mess up everything Chorus I was all ready to leave you But then there was that thing you told me to do I had to warn you before I was gone So I wrote you this song Chorus

Him and the Other

Chorus: His love for me has faded I’m still head over heals He doesn’t know how it feels My judgments shaded Should I accept this new guy? Give him a piece of my heart, But protect the other parts? I’ll give it a try   Chorus He met me at the dance And we danced slow, But I had to know What happened to the boy of my former romance? Chorus I left my partner standing there Found the one who ruined everything With a beautiful girl, and they were dancing All I could do was stare Their heads bent close together They were going to kiss I couldn’t watch this It meant he was gone forever Chorus I stood there about to cry Then came up the other We danced the night away together And his love has yet to die But I know that I can’t have it all I can’t love them both forever It’s either crying over him, or falling for the other I chose to fall Yeah I chose to fall And he caught me Now the other has become my one and only
