She came to this world on a cold night
Papa turned his head and said
I don’t believe she’s mine
Single momma raised her in a place where
You can look but never touch
Cause we don’t have enough
Don’t let your hopes get high
Cause girls like you can’t fly
Oh the long nighs in the small room
With the big dreams
Oh Indiana
You’re only dying here
And they don’t understand you
It’s a tough road but you start slow
And before you know it
You’re not alone
Looking for Read more…

She’s got her sweet children
She’s got her home she’s got some land
Her earthly possessions
She’s got a ring upon her hand
She tried to be a good girl
She tried to make everything right
She tried to kill the voices
That haunt her each and every night
She looks up to heaven
And wonders why love is so cruel
She loves him won’t hurt him
Can’t stop the wanting of you
She married in high school
Oldest was well upon her way
But that wild night Chicago
It’s left Read more…
Miss California what did I do wrong
It seems I’ve loved you
For just a little too long
You’ve gone and left me
For some preacher’s way
Now you act like you never knew me
And you can’t hear a word I say
Miss California did I get in your way
Did the neighbors warn you
What would happen some day
Like a love like mine
Was never good anyway
They said think about your reputation now
Before you get carried away
Don’t you know what’s good for me can Read more…
When I woke up I was 17
You kissed my lips in a bad bad dream
Showed me things aren’t what they appear to be
Called me angel and set me free
You gave me life in the cold cold dark
But you ran away in the mornings spark
Made me think that reality
Is not where I want to be
I am what I am and
I am what I am afraid of
Oh what am I afraid of
I need a fearless love
Don’t need to Read more…
If you ask me I will say I’m fine
All pink like birthday girls and valentines
And then the stillness of the night reminds
That I don’t like to be alone
My thoughts are race cars running ’round my head
They burst into flames and they crash into my bed
Until I fall into a dream instead
Where all my lovers turn to stone
And all I want is company
Someone to understand this misery
Send a reflection of myself to me
‘Cause everybody needs some company

One that’s yet to be seen.
The talent here’s not what it used to be.
I see kids, taking to stages.
It’s soo easy to be seen
We play it round and round in our heads
We play it round and round, in our heads
It feels like we are listening to different lines
All that once was truth now only gives me doubt
Show me something that will blow me away
An art reduced to rubble, your pride is now at stake
Time may lead Read more…
