Dirty Old Town

Dirty old town, dirty old town
I’m getting low as I can go
I’ve been going too far, and wishin’ on a star
Goin’ to a place where the light can’t show
But I keep hangin’ on
I keep hangin’ on
You dirty old town, I’m gonna keep on hangin’ on
There’s voices over here, voices over there
Sayin come along and come with me
Don’t wanna bridge to burn, but I’m takin’ my turn
Ain’t gonna let em over take me
So I keep hangin’ on
I keep hangin’ on
You dirty old town, I’m gonna keep on hangin’ on
I keep fightin’ with my left side, fightin’ with my right side
Fightin’ with everything I got
A dirty old town makes you wanna sink right down
Make you feel like it’s your last shot
But I keep hangin’ on, I keep hangin’ on
Ain’t no dirty old town gonna keep me from hangin on
Ain’t no dirty old town gonna keep me from hangin’ on

All By Myself

Many people want to run and hide
Wanna run from what scares them deep inside
You wouldn’t look it in the face, never let it show
I’m gonna tell you something that you already know
That when you wanted to be you, you needed somebody else
But I can be me all by myself; I can be me all by myself
I can be me all by myself
I can be me all by myself
Build your tower strong and tall
Never know what to do when it starts to fall
There’s one thing you should understand
If you ain’t your own man
You’re nobody’s man
You’re nobody’s man
The moon can’t hide behind the stars
Can’t go anywhere when it gets too dark
Don’t wanna hide my face behind the clouds
Don’t wanna listen to that voice when it gets too loud
Don’t have to make my mind up with anybody else
I can be me all by myself
I can be me all by myself

You Can Have It
03:07
|
|||
There’s nothing in this world that can change the way I feel
When somewhere deep inside, I know what’s really real
If you’re not willing to go there with me
Take what you came with just leave gently
You can have it, I didn’t want it anyway
Now there’s folks you will know, that’ll live to bring you down
The only pride that they show is when you are wearin’ a frown
But you don’t need anybody to tell you; you can’t live like you want to
Tell em they can have it, you didn’t want it anyway
You know it takes a bigger person
It takes a bigger person, we’ll be okay
You know it takes a bigger person
It takes a bigger person, these days
Yeah there’s nothing in this world that can change the way I feel
Somewhere deep inside, I only feel what I can feel
I may not know very much to tell you
But I got a way that I’ve been gettin’ through
I tell em they can have it, I didn’t want it anyway
I tell em they can have it, I don’t need it
I never had to, I’m better without it
I didn’t need it anyway

False King
02:48
|

Entitlement only leads to disappointment,
Because you can’t ever hang on too long to anything
They gave that man a microphone, and a song to sing
Now he’s sayin’ big words and he don’t know what they mean…
Because you can’t place a crown on the head of a clown
And then hope he turns out to be a king.
Competition only comes with a fine line,
And jealousy only seems to bring me down
Well I was never trying to be the queen,
I just take a lot of pride in who I am, and the way I sing…
I just know you can’t place a crown on the head of a clown
And then hope it turns out to be a king.
I believe in doin’ it right
Takin’ your time,
And staying true to who you are.
Fight the good fight
Keep those harmonies tight,
And maybe tuning your guitar.
I’ve got to get it off my chest, I’m trying my best,
I know some of y’all know what I mean
When I say, you can’t place a crown on the head of a clown
And then hope he turns out to be a king.
I’ve got to get it off my chest, I’m trying my best,
I know some of yall know what I mean…
When I say, you can’t place a crown on the head of a clown
And then hope he turns out to be a king.
You can’t place a crown on the head of a clown,
And then hope he turns out to be a king.

Every now and then a stranger will walk by
And they always look so inviting from time to time
They build you up, make a castle way up high
But they always let you down after the ride
So don’t ever leave them, don’t lie or mistreat them
Don’t hurt the ones who’ve loved you the most
You may take a trip by bus, or by plan
Ride around the world in a big ol’ fancy plane
Play to millions of people who know you by name
But the ones at home, they’ll love you just the same
So don’t ever leave them, don’t lie or mistreat them
Don’t hurt the ones, who’ve loved you the most
It don’t make you any kind of big person
To walk around like you ain’t got learnin
Talk about a bird, that you’ve never seen fly
Bury the truth so you can live a lie
I wonder about the old folks at home
I wonder how they’re getting along since I’ve been gone
One day the grass’ll grow high and cover up my bones
And I will return to the place, I call my own
You can’t ever say son, that I forgot my raisin’
Don’t hurt the ones, who’ve loved you the most
Don’t hurt the ones, who’ve loved you the most.

There Must Be A Someone
03:11
|

There must be someone I can turn to
Someone like me, lonely too
All my life I’ve been alone
Got no friends, got no home
There must be someone I can turn to
Well all my so called friends have turned they backs on me
There were looking for someone I just couldn’t be
Let them go and have their fun, unaware of the harm they’ve done
There must be someone I can turn to
(BREAK)
Now if all the tears that I’ve cried are still inside of me
Why can’t a woman be accepted for what she has to be
Must I live my whole life through
Not knowing what to do
There must be someone I can turn to
There must be someone I can turn to

Let's Pretend
03:14

Let’s pretend we’re somewhere far away
Where nothing bothers us except for today
We’re gonna do the things we wanna do
We’re gonna have some fun and like it too
There’s only one of you and one of me
And we can only be who we’re meant to be
Sometimes we do things we’re not proud of
But honey, at least we know how to get out of
Let’s pretend we don’t know what it means
To say those hurtful words and spiteful things
They never do any good for me or you
They take away what we believe in too
There’s only one of you and one of me
And we can only be who we’re meant to be
Sometimes we do things we’re not proud of
But honey, at least we know how to get out of
It’s a crazy dream sometimes this life we live
It’s hard to see what’s to become of it
If anything should happen that we’re not proud of
Honey, we know how to get out of

Life Moves Slow

A mailbox on cement blocks
The old man down the road
He don’t care how he gets there
All he knows is he’s gonna go
And it took a little while for Ricky to come around
He used to set em up and he used to shut em down
It’s so good to see him smile like I’ve always known
Hey now what can you say
I’ve been gone a long time, but that’s how I was raised
It’s so good to know you can go
Where life moves slow
One of the things that I like the best
Is people who got a mind of their own
They know that world’s not black and white
And there’s more than what we’ve been shown
When I drive down the highway past the county line
I take a deep breath; I know I’ll be doin’ fine
I’m gonna save all my money gonna buy me
A place you can’t find
Hey now what can you say
I’ve been gone a long time, but that’s how I was raised
It’s so good to know you can go
Where life moves slow

The Heartbreak
03:17
|

I just wanted to thank you for the heartbreak,
All those times the sight of my face, I could not bare
Those days I couldn’t get out of bed, you’d mess so much with my head
That I couldn’t see, the future that was there
We’re all just trying to get better
We’re all just trying to do the best that we can
I just wanted to thank you for the heartbreak
Because it’s brought me to were I am
Can’t hold no grudges on life’s long journey
Can’t live with bitterness or demand
All the bridges we’ve crossed,
and all the friends that we’ve lost
are all apart of one big plan
I just wanted to thank you for the heartbreak
And for the good times, that I know that were there
Everything that I’ve gained remains one in the same
One day we’ll all meet in the middle somewhere
One day we’ll all meet in the middle somewhere
