1.Better Things To Do
Lyricist：Terri Clark, Tom Shapiro, Chris Waters
Don't tell me the reason that you're calling
Is to see if I'm all right since you've been gone
'Cause I know you and I know why we're talking
You're wanting me to say I'm barely hanging on
Well, maybe that was true for a night or two
But now I got better things to do
I could wash my car in the rain change my new guitar strings
Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday
I don't need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do
Maybe when I don't have so much going
Or quite so many irons in the fire
I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping
But now, I can't put forth the effort it requires
Well I'd love to talk to you but then I'd miss Donahue
That's right, I got better things to do
I could wash my car in the rain change my new guitar strings
Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday
I don't need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do
Check the air in my tires
Straighten my stereo wires
Count the stars in the sky
Or just get on with my life
I don't need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do, I got better things to do
2.Wrecking Ball
Ten tons desire, ten tons of passion
Picking up steam, two souls crashing
No wasted wishes, thrown away kisses
I've got a job to do
Rubble and dust, smoke and flames
A glorious mess, wild and untamed
When I take aim and set my heart on you
I'm a wrecking ball
Woman on a mission, pure demolition
Busting right through that wall
No sense in running, you won't see it coming
But it feels so good when you fall
I'm wrecking ball
It's a sweet kind of damage, a good kind of broken
Knocking that locked up door wide open
You'll be smiling
Knowing I'll swing back through
I'm a wrecking ball
Woman on a mission, pure demolition
Busting right through that wall
No sense in running, you won't see it coming
But it feels so good when you fall
I'm wrecking ball
No holding me back, no slowing me down
When I want what I want and I want it right now
On a cast iron chain, headed your way
You'll know I ain't messing around
'Cause I'm a wrecking ball
Woman on a mission, pure demolition
Busting right through that wall
No sense in running, you won't see it coming
Oh, I'm wrecking ball
Running on passion, coming right at you
And it feels so good when you fall
I'm a wrecking ball
A wrecking ball
3.Breakin' Up Thing
Coffee's still warm in the cup
On your side of the bed
My head's still ringin'
From everythin' that you said
I believed that you were mine
Fell hard for every line
That was way too smooth
It can't be your first time
You got that breakin' up thing down
Know how to leave without a sound
I could learn a thing or two watchin' you
Got that breakin' up thing down
You're phone keeps hummin'
I'm wonderin' who could it be
Text messages comin'
None of them from me
You make misery an art
No respect for the human heart
Take a bow you sure know
How to play the part
You got that breakin' up thing down
Know how to leave without a sound
I could learn a thing or two watchin' you
Got that breakin' up thing down
You're gonna know
What lonely means one day
When someone you love
Just walks away
You got that breakin' up thing down
Know how to leave without a sound
I could learn a thing or two watchin' you
Got that breakin' up thing down
I'm just a diamond in your crown
I could learn a thing or two watchin' you
Got that breakin' up thing down
I could learn a thing or two and honey
You got that breakin' up thing down
4.The One
I hear the whispers as I walk by
They always start with 'bless her heart'
She's still single and that's such an empty life
She must not be looking all that hard
They've all got their stories
Of why I'm still alone
But the only truth that matters is my own
I want fireworks to paint the sky
A kiss to burn my lips
I wanna feel the touch that pounds my heart
Down to my fingertips
And twenty years from now
It still won't be as good as it will get
It might be a lot to ask for
But I won't take any less
Just because I won't settle
Don't mean I won't settle down
I don't need a love that I can live with
I want the one I can't live without
Momma's always getting on me
She says I don't give anyone a chance
But if I can't feel the music when somebody holds me
How am I supposed to dance？
There might be a few more lonely nights
But I'm not keeping score
It's worth the wait for what I'm waiting for
Fireworks to paint the sky
A kiss to burn my lips
I wanna feel the flesh that pounds my heart
Down to my fingertips
And twenty years from now
It still won't be as good as it will get
It might be a lot to ask for
But I won't take any less
Just because I won't settle
Don't mean I won't settle down
I don't need a love that I can live with
I want the one I can't live without
And just because I won't settle
Don't mean I won't settle down
I don't need a love that I can live with
I want the one I can't live without
Oh, I can't live without
5.Northern Girl
Grew up driving on black ice
Spinning in circles under Northern Lights
Laughter steaming, small town dreaming
Digging tunnels in the deep snow
Sheltered from the shiver of a ten below
And I'm right at home
I'm a Northern girl, wild and free
I've got four strong winds to carry me
I've been east to west and all around the world
But I'll always be a Northern girl
Little cottage on a big lake
Sunshine would be a shame to waste
Warm days won't last, come and go fast
Bonfire in the moonlight
People I've known all of my life
That's where I belong
I'm a Northern girl, wild and free
I've got four strong winds to carry me
I've been east to west and all around the world
But I'll always be a Northern girl
Where I come from, what I'm made of
Where I wanna be
You can take me out of there
But you can't take it out of me
Northern girl, wild and free
I've got four strong winds to carry me
I've been east to west
And all around the whole wide world
But I'll always be a Northern girl
I'm a Northern girl, Northern girl
True North, strong and free
Carry me, I'm a Northern girl
6.Beautiful And Broken
Digging in, I see you spinning south
Not again, it's such a long way out
When I think of all the time we might have spent
Having better days I wonder where it all went wrong
Like a bird in a gilded cage
Paralyzed by the love and rage
Every time I stick my head back in the sand
You show up holding your heart in your hand again
And it's been a test of will and mind
But I'd do it all again
We've been through the best and worst of times
And I still call you friend
Even when you're beautiful and broken
Just believe everything is fine
Drink it down like a good red wine
Let the peace of knowing nothing's gonna change
Bring you comfort, let it guide you through the fear and pain
And it's been a test of will and mind
But I'd do it all again
We've been through the best and worst of times
And I still call you friend
Even when you're beautiful and broken
Broken
Broken
7.Lonesome's Last Call
He drinks while he stares
At the smoke in the air
For him, time seems to crawl
He's got no one at home
So he sits there alone
Waiting on lonesome's last call
She came in by chance
Longing to dance
She once was the belle of the ball
But flowers will fade
She's showing touches of gray
And she's waiting on lonesome's last call
While the fiddles are playing
The dance floor is swaying
To the beat of an old fashioned waltz
Their watching the hands
Of the clock on the wall
And waiting on lonesome's last call
Soon the lights will go on
But the empty they've known
Won't be felt in this moment at all
There was love in the air
And it found their hearts there
Waiting on lonesome's last call
While the fiddles are playing
The dance floor is swaying
To the beat of an old fashioned waltz
Their watching the hands
Of the clock on the wall
And waiting on lonesome's last call
They're waiting on lonesome's last call
8.The Good Was Great
Running my fingers
Slowly through your locks of ebony
Hearing you sing 'Blackbird' in the shower
Just a little bit off key
Ain't that just like me
And my selective memory？
To forget about the hurt, the tears and the lies
Forget slamming doors and a hundred goodbyes
I miss you like crazy, make no mistake
The bad was bad, baby but the good was great
We'd break up just to make up
Then we'd do it all again
But the moments that we made love
I never wanted it to end
Leave the bitter, keep the sweet
That's the part I'll take with me
And forget about the hurt, the tears and the lies
Forget slamming doors and a hundred goodbyes
I miss you like crazy, make no mistake
The bad was bad, baby but the good was great
We came so close, a real almost
And that's the honest truth
All that said, I don't regret
One day of loving you
I miss you like crazy, make no mistake
I miss you like crazy, what can I say
The bad was bad, baby but the good was great
The good was great
9.Smile
She packed my lunch up in a box
For my first day of school
I said I wish you could go with me today
She said you're gonna be alright
Just like I promised you
Just remember any time you feel afraid
I want you to smile
And know you're not alone
Dry those little eyes
I'll be here when you come home
I'm always in your heart
Even when we are apart
It's only for a while
So I want you to smile
She packed my suitcase in the trunk
When I turned eighteen
And drove me all the way to Tennessee
She said I know you're gonna make it
I've got faith in you
And while you're out there chasin' down your dreams
I want you to smile
And know you're not alone
Dry those little eyes
I'll be there when you come home
I'm always in your heart
Even when we are apart
It's only for a while
So I want you to smile
She fought for three long years
And didn't wanna leave
No matter what they told her
She still believed
So she used the tools God gave her
But in the end they couldn't save her
As I sat there by her bed watching her sleep
She must have heard a tear roll down my cheek
'Cause that's when she said to me
I want you to smile
And know you're not alone
Dry those little eyes
I'll be there when you come home
I'm always in your heart
Even when we are apart
It's only for a while, it'll only be a while
So I want you to smile
10.We're Here For A Good Time
A very good friend of mine
Told me something the other day
I'd like to pass it on to you
'Cause I believe what he said to be true
He said we're here for a good time
Not a long time
(Not a long time)
So have a good time
The sun can't shine everyday
And the sun is shining in this rainy city
And the sun is shining, ooh, isn't a pity？
That every year has its share of tears
Every now and then it's gotta rain
We're here for a good time
Not a long time
So have a good time
The sun can't shine every day
Woo
And the sun is shining in this rainy city
And the sun is shining, ooh, isn't a pity？
That every year has its share of tears
Every now and then it's gotta rain
We're here for a good time
Not a long time
So have a good time
The sun can't shine everyday
We're here for a good time
(Here for a good time)
Not a long time
(Not a long time)
So have a good time
(Time)
The sun can't shine everyday
(Sun can't shine everyday)
So have a good time
The sun can't shine everyday
11.Flowers In Snow
How many heartaches
Until the bough breaks？
Only so much I can bend
So tired of crying, hell bent on trying
Over and over again
Another season fading
Nothing new to show
We squander our love
And still wondered why it won't grow
We're planting flowers in snow
The ground is still frozen
North wind keeps blowing
Praying for gray to turn blue
Winter seems longer, hurt's even stronger
The farther we drift from the truth
Another season fading
Nothing new to show
We squander our love
And still wondered why it won't grow
We're planting flowers in snow
You can't be someone you're not
Something I wished and forgot
No chance of changing
Doing the same thing
Here goes another last shot
Another season fading
Nothing new to show
We squander our love
And still wondered why it won't grow
We're planting flowers in snow
We're planting flowers in snow
