1.White Liar
Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White liar
You better be careful what you do
I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes
If they every found you out
You better be careful what you say
It never really added up anyway
I got friends in this town
Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White liar
You said you went out to a bar
And walked some lady to her car
But your face has more to tell
Cause my cousin saw you on the street
With a red head named Bernice
Turns out that you don't lie too well
Hey white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White liar
Here's a bombshell just for you
Turns out that I've been lying, too
Now I'm the white liar
The truth comes out a little at a time
And it spreads just like a fire
Slips off of my tongue like turpentine
And I don't know why
White liar
2.Only Prettier
Well I've been saved
by the grace of Southern charm
I got a mouth like a sailor
and yours is more like a Hallmark card
And if you wanna pick a fight
Well I'm gonna have to say goodnight
I don't have to be hateful,
I can just say bless your heart
And even though I don't belong
with your high life friends
It doesn't mean we don't get together
and try to make amends
It's easier can't you see
Let's agree to just disagree
We don't have to like each other
but it's sure fun to pretend
So let's shake hands
and reach across those party lines
You've got your friends just like I've got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We're just like you
Only prettier
Everybody says you've gotta know your enemies
Even if they only weigh a hundred pounds
and stand five foot three
If you just smile and behave
you can always get your way
It's a universal plan that'll get you
where you can in all societies
So let's shake hands
and reach across those party lines
You've got your friends just like I've got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We're just like you
Only prettier
So let's shake hands
and reach across those party lines
You've got your friends just like I've got mine
We might think a little differently
But we got a lot in common you will see
We're just like you
Only prettier
Well, I'll keep drinkin'
And you'll keep gettin' skinnier
I'm just like you
Only prettier
3.Dead Flowers
I feel like the flowers in this vase
He just brought them home one day,
ain't they beautiful he said
They've been here in the kitchen
and the water's turning grey
They're sitting in the vase
but now they're dead
Dead flowers
I feel like this long string of lights
They lit up our whole house on Christmas day
But now it's January
and the bulbs have all burned out
But still they hang
Like dead flowers
He ain't feeling anything
My love, my hurt, or the sting of this rain
And I'm living in a hurricane
All he can say is man,
ain't it such a nice day
Yeah
I feel like the tires on this car
You said they won't go far
but we're still rolling
I look in the rear view
and I see dead flowers in the yard
And that string of lights,
and it ain't glowing
Like dead flowers
Like dead flowers
He ain't feeling anything
My love, my hurt, or the sting of this rain
I'm driving through a hurricane
All he can say is man,
ain't it such a nice day
Hey I guess it'll just go to waste
Like dead flowers
Like dead flowers
Like dead flowers
4.Me And Your Cigarettes
Gives you something you can do with your hands
Makes you look cool and feel like a man
In the morning you'll probably regret me
Me and your cigarettes
Started young, it's too late to quit
Most call it a bad, bad habit
Your momma told you
you could end up dead with me
Me and your cigarettes
Always there every time that you need me
It ain't love but just like nicotine
You're addicted to a feeling you can only get
From me and your cigarettes
Light us up and then throw us down
Walk away when we hit the ground
How's it gonna feel
when you come back around and see
It's just you and your cigarettes
Always there every time that you need me
It ain't love but just like nicotine
You're addicted to a feeling you can only get
From me and your cigarettes
5.Maintain The Pain
I put a bullet in my radio
Something just hit me funny I don't know
Just pulled the trigger going down the road
You slammed the door and knocked me off the wire
Been walking lines and you've been burning tires
Slow and uneasy ain't that what you like
It's insane
It's in vain
You stay to maintain the pain
I hear your name and man it burns a hole
I swear I hate you but I can't let go
The kind of damage that you can't console
It's all in vain
It's all insane
I swear you'll stay
I swear you'll stay to maintain the pain
It's all in vain
It's all insane
I swear you'll stay
I swear you'll stay to maintain the pain
Maintain the pain
6.Airstream Song
Sometimes I wish I lived in an Airstream
Homemade curtains, lived just like a gypsy
Break a heart, roll out of town
Cause gypsies never get tied down
Sometimes I wish I lived on a mountain
Drank from a stream instead of a fountain
I'd stay there, top of the world
But I was born a red dirt girl
Unbridled or tethered and tied
The safety of the fence
or the danger of the ride
I'll always be unsatisfied
Sometimes I wish I lived by a pier
In a lighthouse with a chandelier
I'd watch everybody's ships come in
And then I'd sail away with them
Unanchored in the storm
Or safely on the shore
If this is all I need, why do I want more
Sometimes I wish I lived in an airstream
Homemade curtains, lived just like a gypsy
7.Makin' Plans
If I ever left this town
I'd never settle down
I'd just be wandering around
If I ever left this town
If I wasn't by your side
I'd never be satisfied
Nothin' would feel just right
If I wasn't by your side
Cause I'm not easy to understand
But you know me like the back of your hand
I'm your girl and you're my man
And we're makin' plans
We can go on and on
Won't ever feel too long
I'll always call you home
And we'll go on and on
Cause I know you like the back of my hand
Got a heart of gold and a piece of land
I'm your girl and you're my man
And we're makin' plans
8.Time To Get A Gun
My neighbor's car got stole last night
right out of his driveway
We heard the dog a barking,
we never paid them any mind
And Mary says she's gonna lock the door
from now on when we go away
I've been walking around this farm
wondering if it's time
Time to get a gun, that's what I been thinkin'
I could afford one if I did
just a little less drinkin'
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it's time to get a gun
Last week a government man was there
when I walked out of my back door
He said I'm sorry to bother you
ma'am it don't matter anymore
Cause even while we're talking
right here where we stand
They're making plans for a four-lane highway
and a big ole overpass
Time to get a gun, that's what I been thinkin'
I could afford one if I did
just a little less drinkin'
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it's time to get a gun
Mary says she's worried about herself and her kids
She's never known anybody had a gun
and her daddy never did
Well I think it should be up to me
cause when it's all said and done
Somebody's gotta walk into the night
and I'm gonna be that one
Time to get a gun, that's what I been thinkin'
I could afford one if I did
just a little less drinkin'
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it's time to get a gun
When the party is over it's time to get a gun
9.Somewhere Trouble Don't Go
Devil had a daughter
Took him to deep water
Tried to kill him with a kiss
He said Hey now honey
What about the money
I said I ain't got time for this
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
Make me, make me someone trouble don't know
He said baby come inside
I said sorry I've got to ride
Sorry but I've got to ride
You know you could end up dead
Sleeping in the devil's bed
Sleeping in the devil's bed
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
Make me, make me someone trouble don't know
Baby wants to drive my car
But he wants to go too far
But he wants to go too far
First comes love and it's so fine
Then comes heartache right behind
Then comes heartache right behind
My baby used to be so sweet
Now he won't come down my street
Now he won't come down my street
All my plans got derailed
He locked up my heart in jail
He locked up my heart in jail
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
Make me, make me someone trouble don't know
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
Make me, make me someone trouble don't know
10.The House That Built Me
I know they say you can't go home again
I just had to come back one last time
Ma'am I know you don't know me from Adam
But these handprints on the front steps are mine
Up those stairs in that little back bedroom
Is where I did my homework
and I learned to play guitar
I bet you didn't know under that live oak
My favorite dog is buried in the yard
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
Mama cut out pictures of houses for you
From Better Homes and Gardens magazine
Plans were drawn and concrete poured
Nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to mama's dream
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
You leave home and you move on
and you do the best you can
I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me
11.Love Song
I was standing there cryin' in the kitchen
It's been one of those mornings
that's gonna last all day
And he comes in, wraps his arms around me
And I don't even have to say a thing
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
He comes in, slams the door behind him
He can't hide the worry on his face
Even though I got a million things to tell him
I know right now he just needs some space
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
Everybody always sings about it
How they're never gonna live without it
We don't even have to talk about it
Cause we're living it out
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
That's what makes it love
That's what makes it a love song
12.Heart Like Mine
I ain't the kind you take home to mama
I ain't the kind to wear no ring
Somehow I always get stronger
When I'm on my second drink
Even though I hate to admit it
Sometimes I smoke cigarettes
Christian folks say I should quit it
I just smile and say God bless
Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet He'd understand a heart like mine
Daddy cried when he saw my tattoo
Said he'd love me anyway
My brother got the brains of the family
So I thought I'd learn to sing
Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet He'd understand a heart like mine
I'll fly away
From it all one day
I'll fly away
These are the days that I will remember
When my name's called on the roll
He'll meet me with two long-stemmed glasses
Make a toast to me coming home
Cause I heard Jesus, He drank wine
And I bet we'd get along just fine
He could calm a storm and heal the blind
And I bet He'd understand a heart like mine
Oh, yes He would
13.Sin For A Sin
I remember vividly what that vision did to me
You laying with her in our bed
Love can be a tragedy
when you do what you did to me
All I'm seeing now is red
I need to repent
A sin for a sin
Bible told me to forgive all those
who trespass against
Tread their feet on sacred ground,
bad things come with consequence
What feels good hurts in the end
Don't want to think about that now
I need to repent
A sin for a sin
Fire and brimstone, dirt and a headstone
Bury em baby, all of our sins
Hear the thunder six feet under
Hit your knees, won't do it again
Guilty pleasure, ease the pain
Whiskey runnin' through my veins
Too late to save you now
I need to repent
A sin for a sin
Fire and brimstone, dirt and a headstone
Bury em baby, all of our sins
Hear the thunder six feet under
Hit your knees, won't do it again
I remember vividly what that vision did to me
14.That's The Way That The World Goes 'Round
I know a gal got a lot to lose
She's a pretty nice lady
but she's kinda confused
Got muscles in her head ain't never been used
Thinks she owns half of this town
Starts drinking heavy gets a big red nose
And she beats her old man with her pantyhose
And takes him out and buys him new clothes
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
One minute you're up and the next you're down
It's a half an inch of water
and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round
Well I was sittin' in the tub
just a countin' my toes
When the radiator broke and the water froze
Got stuck in the ice without any clothes
Naked as the eyes of a clown
I was crying ice cubes hoping that I'd croak
When the sun came through the window
and the ice all broke
I said son of a gun man that's just a joke
And that's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
One minute you're up and the next you're down
It's a half an inch of water
and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
One minute you're up and the next you're down
It's a half an inch of water
and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
15.Virginia Bluebell
Carrying the weight on the end of a limb
You're just waiting for somebody
to pick you up again
Shaded by a tree, can't live up to a rose
All you ever wanted was a sunny place to grow
Pretty little thing, sometimes you gotta look up
And let the world see all the beauty
that you're made of
Cause the way you hang your head nobody can tell
You're my Virginia Bluebell
My Virginia Bluebell
Even through a stone a flower can bloom
You just need a little push, Spring is coming soon
Umbrella in the rain, let it roll off your back
Weather what you can, realize what you have
Pretty little thing, sometimes you gotta look up
And let the world see all the beauty
that you're made of
Cause the way you hang your head nobody can tell
You're my Virginia Bluebell
Put a little light in the darkest places
Put a little smile on the saddest faces
Pretty little thing, sometimes you gotta look up
And let the world see all the beauty
that you're made of
Cause the way you hang your head nobody can tell
You're my Virginia Bluebell
My Virginia Bluebell
