Cut To Impress

Maggie Rose Cut To Impress Lyrics
1.Preacher's Daughter

Lyricist:Maggie Rose, Connie Harrington
Writer(s):Maggie Rose, Connie Harrington

Pink blossoms on the Mimosa trees
Cicadas dancing soft and sweet
Sweat on his neck in the summer heat
Kissin' the preacher's daughter

Headlights flashing in their eyes
The shadow of a face they recognized
A single shot split the night
Footsteps in muddy water

And the sun came up like the day before
And her sheets hadn't been turned down
And the boy turned up downstream on the rocks
Two miles outside of town
She was leavin' church in a white sundress
Last time anybody saw her
Oh, what's become of the preacher's daughter

One-eyed woman with her tarot cards
Said she ain't comin' back but she ain't gone far
The devil's a liar and he drives a car
Somewhere in Catahoula County

Then the sun came up like the day before
And her sheets hadn't been turned down
And the search dogs barked on the day they laid
Her first love in the ground
The preacher's knees buckled in the heat
So the deacon took over
And said 'let us pray for the preacher's daughter'

Blue lights flashin' on the riverbank
They held their breath as they dragged the chains
Hearts all sank when her beautiful face
Came up out of the water

Through her tangled hair they could see
She was missing one earring
Found the other in the back seat of the car
Of the deacon that couldn't have her

And the sun came up like the day before
And her sheets hadn't been turned down
When they slapped the cuffs on the deacon's wrists
You could hear it all over town
And the headlines read 'Justice At Last
Up From The Muddy Water...
The Resurrection of the Preacher's Daughter'


2.Mostly Bad

Lyricist:Maggie Rose, Jim Wes
Writer(s):Maggie Rose, Jim Wes

You don't know any girls like me
I will show you crazy, wait and see
'Cause I wear stilettos with my jeans, chase whiskey with
whiskey
Tonight I'm gonna get what I need and you can't stop me
I'm innocent outside, but I'm about to blow your mind

I'm a little good, a little bad, the best and worst you've ever
had
I'll lift you up, and knock you down, and have you begging from
the ground
You can see my halo or my horns, so be warned
I'm a little good, a little bad, but mostly bad

I can be a saint if you want me to
But I will make a sinner out of you
'Cause I'm not about to wear that dress if it's not cut to
impress
Tonight I'm gonna aim for the fence and you can't stop me
I'm innocent outside, but I'm about to blow your mind

I'm a little good, a little bad, the best and worst you've ever
had
I'll lift you up, and knock you down, I'll have you begging from
the ground
You can see my halo or my horns, so be warned
I'm a little good, a little bad

Tonight I'll be your angel, and you... you'll be my man
These wings will take us to heaven
But for now... I'll put you through hell

I'm mostly bad
I'm mostly bad

I'm a little good, I'm a little bad, the best and worst you've
ever had
I'll lift you up, and knock you down, and have you begging from
the ground
You can see my halo or my horns, so be warned
I'm a little good, a little bad, but mostly bad

I'm mostly bad


3.Fall Madly In Love With You

Lyricist:Camaron Ochs, Samuel Johnson, Douglas Showalter
Writer(s):Camaron Ochs, Samuel Johnson, Douglas Showalter

I was down at the bar doing my best Electric Slide
Then he gave me a smile while doing the Grapevine
(That's how it started)
Gave him my number and waited a week for the call
When he finally did I told that boy straight-up
(Aren't we tired of playing these games?)

All I wanna do is skip all the rules and the hoops
And fall madly in love with you
Step up to the plate so I can see the truth
And fall madly in love with you

Got my girls in my ride and we're breakin' 65
When a truck full of boys tries to pass us on the right
(We've all been here before)
They start to whistle, hollerin' out cat-calls
Come on, get a clue, have you learned nothing at all?
You must understand

All I wanna do is skip all the rules and the hoops
And fall madly in love with you
Step up to the plate so I can see the truth
And fall madly in love with you

All I wanna do is skip all the rules and the hoops
And fall madly in love with you
Step up to the plate so I can see the truth
And fall madly in love with you

All I wanna do is skip all the rules and the hoops
And fall madly in love with you
Step up to the plate so I can see the truth

And fall madly in love with you

6.Better

Lyricist:Candy Cameron, Dave Berg, Deanna Bryant
Writer(s):Candy Cameron, Dave Berg, Deanna Bryant

There's a bottle on the shelf, talkin' to me
Sayin', 'Come over here, you can have a drink'
We can make it through this lonely night together

But that's a road I don't wanna go back down
And I hate myself for what I'm thinkin' now
Hey, it's just one night, it's not like it's forever
I just want to feel better

I just want to feel good, feel alright
Feel anything but what I feel tonight
I just want to move on with my life
And put the pieces back together
I just want to feel better

All these pictures running through my head
From the way he loved to the way he left
Not a single day goes by, I don't miss him

When the lonely gets to be too much
I try to kill the pain with a stranger's touch
Though I know I won't forget him altogether
I just want to feel better

I just want to feel good, feel alright
Feel anything but what I feel tonight
I just want to move on with my life
And put the pieces back together
I just want to feel better

I know there's gonna come a day
When he's still gone and it's okay

I just want to feel good, feel alright
Feel anything but what I feel tonight
I just want to move on with my life
And put the pieces back together
I just want to feel better
I just want to feel better


7.I Ain't Your Mama

Lyricist:Candy Cameron, Judson Spence
Writer(s):Candy Cameron, Judson Spence

I'm puttin' on pearls, I'm puttin' on pumps, got a little lace
apron on me
Gonna make you stop, gonna make you wanna watch me do the
laundry
Gonna put some fun back in this ho-hum honey
Gonna be so hot you'll think it oughta cost you money
You ain't gonna wanna leave home, 'cause I've got it goin' on
I will be most anything you want

I'll be your laughter, I'll be your drama, I'll be your best
friend, I'll be your lover
You can be my baby any time you wanna
But I ain't your mama
No, I ain't your mama

I won't make your rules, I won't wipe your nose, I ain't gonna
check up on ya
Stay out all night long as that sunlight don't end up tellin' on
ya
I won't be your boss, I won't be the bad cop baby
But I'll be the one you just wanna love like crazy
'Cause I'll do all those things that make you wanna sing
I'll say your name, make you wanna do the same

I'll be your laughter, I'll be your drama, I'll be your best
friend, I'll be your lover
You can be my baby any time you wanna
But I ain't your mama
No, I ain't your mama

Oh, come on honey
You ain't gonna wanna leave home, 'cause I've got it goin' on
I will be most anything you want

I'll be your laughter, I'll be your drama, I'll be your best
friend, I'll be your lover
You can be my baby any time you wanna
But I ain't your mama
No, I ain't your mama

I'll be your best friend, I'll be your lover
You can be my baby any time you wanna
But I ain't your mama
No, I ain't your mama
