She Left to Find the Right Guy 03:01
lyrics
We were on our way back from the bar She said, “Why don’t we have fun anymore?” But I didn’t have an answer Instead I just mentioned the weather And long before she packed her things I could feel her start to spread her wings I shoulda seen it coming But maybe I was too busy running She left to find the right guy So now I’m drowning down in the blues She said I’d never be the one, she’d never say I do I was wrong thinking I was her right kind And I didn’t pick up on the clues But now that we’re over and done, she’s found someone new She left to find the right guy I watched the tail lights of her truck As they faded out in the dust I stood there for so long Trying to figure out how we went wrong Said she didn’t wanna waste her time Or have me sit around wasting mine I know it won’t do any good But I’d apologize if I could My phone tells me she’s doing fine Out on the town every Friday night But I’m busy putting miles between us I’ll never see her smiling at me, ’cause

Know Me at All (Female) 02:50
lyrics
You ordered me a white wine But I told you I’m a whiskey girl Yes I can dress up real nice But I’m just fine in a t-shirt You think I need the beach Even though I don’t mind the rain You think you met my family Because I told you my middle name It’s hard for me to see just how in the dark you are I’m thinking maybe you don’t really think about me anymore You can take me to the city, spend a lot of money But baby I’m a country girl What counts is in your heart, don’t you know that honey It ain’t about what you’re worth You want to come over but you never want to talk Sometimes I think you don’t know me at all Sometimes I think you don’t know me at All I need’s a couple Bud Lites And a night in a truck bed I’m happy in my Levis Why can’t you get it through your head No I ain’t gonna be some trophy you can put on a shelf So if that’s what you’re looking for baby look somewhere else Boy you gotta try harder If you wanna be my Romeo And you gotta like it hotter ‘Cause don’t you know I’m a Scorpio

Rose Petals 02:57
lyrics
I’m alone now in this room Where all the light is gone In shadows and shades of blue Wondering what I coulda done Why did I find it so hard to do my part To keep that girl’s heart next to mine, for all time I could’ve taken her out to dance But I took her for granted instead And if I had one more chance Then I wouldn’t leave any sweet nothings left unsaid And I shoulda spread rose petals on our bed Shoulda put a bottle on ice To heat up a Friday night Maybe a card or two Painted with “I Love You” And some chocolate and cabernet coulda gone a long way Maybe a little more Marvin Gaye woulda made her stay But I’m alone now in this room Where all the light is gone In shadows and shades of blue Wondering what I coulda done

Stuck on You Leaving 03:07
lyrics
You’re still behind that screen door Turning and fading away Saying you can’t love me no more While the night took over the day I wonder if I’ll ever get over you Or if you’re painted on my brain like a tattoo I wish I wasn’t wasting all my energy throwing down whiskey Thinking I could drink away the memories But when I go back like that I have a deja vu feeling It’s our last blue evening Guess I’m stuck on you leaving And I want to be moving on But I live in the past What if I said I was wrong? Could I get you back? I’ll still be here if you change your mind I ain’t going anywhere staying lost in time I’m still glued to you like we’re good I don’t know how to go on like I should

Two Sides to You (Female) 03:00
lyrics
Sometimes you’re sunny Sometimes you rain You’re fun as summer Then you’re cold as a window pane You want to talk But not today Then you go dark I don’t hear from you for days, well Baby I ain’t gonna wait forever So you’d better solve that mystery If you really wanna stay together Then you gotta be straight with me You gotta be straight with me There’s two sides to you One leaves me confused And all of me wants part of you But there’s another half that I just can’t see through There’s two sides to you Now you’re Mr. Jekyll But there’s a Mr. Hyde There might be several Different kinds of you inside Will you let me know? Show me everything ‘Cause I don’t wanna go But I can’t keep on guessing, so I can’t figure out What you’re all about I want to see the secrets You’re keeping in your heart Whoever you really are

Whiskey Anyway 03:27
lyrics
I don’t need to chase those old memories down And maybe I shouldn’t go for another round But now that you’re gone, what am I supposed to do? Just sit around feeling lonely thinking about you? So I threw myself in the car, found myself at the bar And I was sitting on a lonely stool I said maybe if I’m drinking I could think your memory away But maybe I’m overthinking since I ain’t been sober in days Here I go I’m sinking in again, but I know I can’t pretend That I can keep thinking I could drink your memory away But I’ll have another whiskey anyway I’ll have it on the rocks, or they can pour it on neat Like it was for us back when things got messy I’ll take a shot if I must, or they can mix it with Coke Whatever shape it takes to keep me afloat And I’m still throwing ‘em down, I’ve been all over town I thought I knew how to get over you …any way it takes to dull the pain Anyway it’s all the same

All Out 03:22
lyrics
I started sipping on a beer Since you ain’t been here Moved on to a bottle of wine Killing time ’til you make up your mind And now I’m on to the harder stuff ‘Cause I can never win over your love So I’ve been going all out because you ain’t all in Draining another bottle ‘cause you ain’t calling I’m emptying out all of my love but you fill me up with doubt Because you ain’t been all in I’ve been going all out I want you to be mine But you won’t decide So tonight I’m gonna throw ‘em down If you don’t come I’ll go another round I’m always pouring into your cup I never stop giving you all I got, and for what It’s a record bender I’m on An emotional roller coaster when you’re here, then you’re gone

Whiskey Tears 02:46
lyrics
I try to steer clear of the stuff And I don’t really go there much ’Cause it’s a slippery slope I know A broken down and faded road But when she gets in my mind’s eye I just tend to give up the fight I’ve tried so many times to be Stronger than the whiskey But once again I’m staring into a glass Still reeling from the feelings of the past I could sit here in the dim And get lost in the dream Of what we could have been More than just a memory But I can’t get back those years, no So I get whiskey tears, oh It ain’t every day I find myself Wishing I was someone else Not the fool who pushed her away Coulda been the right guy, coulda made her stay But I know I’ll be going home alone It’s easier to keep her far from my heart of stone

To Lose a Loved One 03:04
lyrics
Conversations go unsaid Memories spin round in your head Pain washes over in waves There’s still so much you wanted to say But their love will live on in you You’ll feel lucky that you ever even knew Someone who made you laugh And who made you mad But in your eyes was always second to none Someone close to your heart That’s why it tears you apart To lose a loved one You’ll be calling everyone you know Time is a reminder that you got to stay close For a while you’ll be walking in a haze People look at you, and ask what’s wrong for days You’ll see a sign they’re looking down from above And it will make you smile every time you think of That deep kind of hurt don’t ever go away But you can be sure the sharp edges will fade I’m grateful that I’m able to say Someone who made me laugh And who made me mad In my eyes was always second to none Someone close to my heart So it tears me apart To lose a loved one To lose a loved one To lose a loved one

Why Did You Go Dark on Me? 03:25
lyrics
The sky is grey your silence is strange Weren't we on one page? Hadn’t heard, didn’t see a light Worried about you out and about Every little detail that you left out You said it’s all in my head So you go ghost and leave me alone Then you take issue with my tone Why’d you have to go, why’d you have to dim your light I miss your red dress, your red lips, your hips Your kiss and the light that shined through you Baby you might think I’m crazy But why did you go dark on me? Maybe I’m too blind to see Why did you go dark on me? I’m working nights you’re out with your friends It really ain’t right your night never ends I hang on for you to get back to me You black out like it ain’t no thing While I wait for my phone to ring All your stories don’t add up to me I went home had too much to drink Never got a call, started to sink When I woke up I still couldn’t breathe Why, why’d you go dark on me? Why, why’d you go dark on me? Why, why’d you go dark on me? Why, why’d you go dark on me?
