Martina McBride Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Blessed

blessed

I get kissed by the sun
Each morning
Put my feet on a hardwood floor
I get to hear my children laughing
Down the hall through the
Bedroom door
Sometimes i sit on my
Front porch swing
Just soaking up the day
I think to myself, i think to myself
This world is a beautiful place

I have been blessed
And i feel like i've found my way
I thank god for all i've been given

At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than i deserve
To be here with the ones
That love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed

Across a crowded room,
I know you know what i'm thinking
By the way i look at you
And when we're lying in the quiet and
No words have to be said
I think to myself, i think to myself
This love is a beautiful gift

Repeat chorus

When i'm singing my kids to sleep
When i feel you holding me
I know

Repeat chorus


2.Chances Are

(martina mcbride & bob seger)
(bob seger)

Chances are you'll find me
Somewhere on your road tonight
Seems i always end up driving by
Ever since i've known you
It just seems you're on my way

All the rules of logic don't apply
I long to see you in the night
Be with you 'til morning light

I remember clearly how you looked
The night we met
I recall your laughter and your smile
I remember how you made me
Feel so at ease
I remember all your grace and your style

And now you're all i long to see
You've come to mean so much to me

Chances are i'll see you
In my dreams tonight
You'll be smiling like the noght we met
Chances are i'll hold you and i'll offer
All i have

You're the only one i can't forget
Baby you're the best i've ever met

And i'll be dreaming of the future
And hoping you'll be by my side
And the morning i'll be longing for the night
For the night


3.Little Bits Of Lightning

(robin lerner/steve booker)

I have listen to the sound
Of a lonely night
Gone a thousand miles
Through a storm-filled sky
Looking for some light

Never dreamed of turning back
But faced the wind instead
'cause i knew somewhere
You'd be waiting there
Down the road ahead

All throught the longest night
Your burning light did shine
Like little bits of lightning
Lighting up the whole world with your flame
Every day to make it better
Strong enough to carry the weight
Your love became my saving grace
Like little bits of lightning
Shining through the rain

If i should ever lose my way
Find the strength in me is gone
I won't worry what to do
'cause darlin' i know you
Will come and take me home

All throught the longest night
Your burning light did shine
Like little bits of lightning
Lighting up the whole world with your flame
Every day to make it better
Strong enough to carry the weight
Your love became my saving grace
Like little bits of lightning
Shining through the rain

Strong enough to carry the weight
Your love became my saving grace
The kind of feelin' words can't explain
Like little bits of lightning
Shining through the rain
Like little bits of lightning
Shining through the rain


4.When God Fearin' Women Get The Blues

lock up your husbands
Lock up your sons
Lock up your whiskey cabinets
Girls lock up your guns
Lock up the beauty shop
No telling if they've heard the news
Call the boys downtown at neiman marcus
Tell 'em lock up them high-heeled shoes

When god fearin' women get the blues
There ain't no slap dab atellin' what they're gonna do
Run around yellin' 'i gotta mustang
It'll do eighty
You don't have to be my baby
I've stirred my last batch of gravy
You don't have to be my baby'

Call all the deacons
Call the ladies' aid
Call all the altos, sopranos, tenors, call every bass
Well, call all the pentecostals
And bring that anointing oil too
Well call the preacher
He's the only one can reach her
And there ain't no time to lose

When god fearin' women get the blues
There ain't no slap dab atellin' what they're gonna do
Run around yellin' 'i gotta mustang
It'll do eighty
You don't have to be my baby
I've stirred my last batch of gravy
You don't have to be my baby'

She's on all our prayer lists
She's on all our hearts
As for the easter cantata
We don't know who'll sing her part.

When god fearin' women get the blues
There ain't no slap dab atellin' what they're gonna do
Run around yellin' 'i gotta mustang
It'll do eighty
You don't have to be my baby
I've stirred my last batch of gravy
You don't have to be my baby'


5.Concrete Angel

She walks to school with the lunch she packed,
Nobody knows what she's holding back,
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday,
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace.

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask,
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask,
Bearing the burden of a secret storm,
Sometimes she wishes she was never born.

Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone,
In a world that she can't rise above,
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where
she's loved,
Concrete Angel.

Somebody cries in the middle of the night,
The neighbors hear but they turn out their light,
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate,
When mornin' comes it'll be too late.

Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone,
In a world that she can't rise above,
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where
she's loved,
Concrete Angel.

A statue stands in a shaded place,
An angel girl with an upturned face,
A name is written on a polished rock,
A broken heart that the world forgot.

Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone,
In a world that she can't rise above,
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where
she's loved,
Concrete Angel.


6.When God Fearin' Women Get The Blues

Lyrics:Leslie Satcher
Music:Leslie Satcher

She was the prom queen
He was the quarterback of the football team
And it all looked so promising
We never thought anything would happen like this
And then all of a sudden
Twenty-five years of love and devotion
Down the drain
We all heard her hollerin'
For a country mile
Cheatin' shows your complete lack of style
Well she took out three parking meters
And a pedestrian's purse
The day she quit the baptist choir
And threw that Ford into reverse
Lock up your husbands
Lock up your sons
Lock up your whiskey cabinets
Girls lock up your guns
Lock up the beauty shop
No tellin' if they've heard the news
Call the boys downtown at Neiman Marcus
Tell 'em lock up them high heels shoes
When God-fearin' women get the blues
There ain't no slap-dab-a tellin'
What they're gonna do
Run around yellin'
I've got a Mustang
It'll do 80
You don't have to be my baby
I've stirred my last batch of gravy
You don't have to be my baby
Call all the deacons
Call the ladies aid
Call all the altos, sopranos, tenors
Call every bass
Well call all the pentecostals
Bring that anointing oil too
Well call the preacher
He's the only one can reach her
And there's ain't no time to lose
When God-fearin' women get the blues
There ain't no slap-dab-a tellin'
What they're gonna do
Run around yellin'
I've got a Mustang
It'll do 80
You don't have to be my baby
I've stirred my last batch of gravy
You don't have to be my baby
She's on all our prayer lists
She's on all our hearts
As for the Easter cantata
We don't know who'll sang her part
When God-fearin' women get the blues
There ain't no slap-dab-a tellin'
What they're gonna do
Run around yellin'
I've got a Mustang
It'll do 80
You don't have to be my baby
I've stirred my last batch of gravy
You don't have to be my baby

All throught the longest night
Your burning light did shine
Like little bits of lightning
Lighting up the whole world with your flame

Strong enough to carry the weight
Your love became my saving grace
The kind of feelin' words can't explain
Like little bits of lightning
Shining through the rain
Like little bits of lightning
Shining through the rain
