Free

Beth Nielsen Chapman - Annie Roboff

© Almo Music, ASCAP

I had it tough when I was just a little kid
It didn't matter what I thought it didn't matter what I did
I felt the doubt for what I lacked right from the start
It did a number on my head but it could never touch my heart
Cause I had just enough imagination just enough to keep the faith
That somehow I would think of what to do
When I'd get lost in a momentary weakness of emotion
All the angels came around to help me through
Life blows fast changes wind blows past pages
All I see is I don't need this
High strung tightrope walk ticking time bomb clock
Scratch my name off cut these chains

I'm free kicking out of that prison
I am free singing those words of wisdom
Let it be nobody gonna put the blues inside of me

And in the stress to be the best I've done it all
I've slammed the doors I've jammed the locks I've laid the bricks I've built the walls
No one could tell me back then why joy eluded me
Kept bumping into that misery locked up deep down inside of me
Took that rage and I turned that page and I
Packed my tools went back to school
Yeah I passed my graduation and I hold my PhD
In crash test blues I paid those dues

I'm free kicking out of that prison...

Time flies by in photographs and paper scraps and songs
Here I stand in ruby slippers three taps takes me home

Yeah I'm free I'm free

I'm free kicking out of that prison...

Oh yeah I am free I am free I am free I am free
I am free I'm free I am free I am free yeah yeah yeah

Time flies by in photographs...
I'm free I'm free oh I'm free

Cry

Angie Aparo

© Blackwood Music, BMI

If I had just one tear running down your cheek
Maybe I could cope maybe I'd get some sleep
If I had just one moment at your expense
Maybe all my misery would be well spent

Yeah could you cry a little lie just a little
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain
I gave now I'm wanting something in return
So cry just a little for me

If your love could be caged honey I would hold the key
And conceal it underneath the pile of lies you handed me
And you'd hunt those lies they'd be all you'd ever find
And that'd be all you'd have to know for me to be fine

Yeah and you'd cry a little and die just a little
And baby I would feel just a little less pain
I gave now I'm wanting something in return
So cry just a little for me

Give it up baby I hear your doing fine
Nothing's gonna save me I can see it in your eyes
Some kind of heartache hon give it a try
I don't want pity I just want what is mine

Yeah could you cry a little and lie just a little
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain
I gave now I'm wanting something in return
So cry just a little for me yeah cry just a little for me
Oh oh could you cry a little for me yeah yeah

One

Annie Roboff - Billy Burnette - Bekka Bramlett

© Almo Music, ASCAP

I've tried with all my might but still don't understand
Why we ever let it get so out of hand
My arms are reaching out and holding on tight
To what has always felt so right
It's hard to figure out the answers to the questions
When both our lives are going in separate directions

One is breaking into two and my heart is turning blue
And you still don't get it do you do you
I thought we had all the love to go it for the long run
So before the damage is done let's start back over at one

Lights out when every evening used to get so hot
Now we got so damned distracted we forgot
How to lock the world away and just get lost
In where you end and where I begin
Love is strong but it's so easy to divide
So boy let's think about how much is on the line

One is breaking into two...

One is breaking into two...

One is breaking into two...

Start back over at one
Got to get back got to get back one

When The Lights Go Down

Craig Wiseman - Rivers Rutherford - Jeffrey Steele

© Mrs Lumpkins Puddle, ASCAP

When the lights go down
He'll be fillin' a pan with a broom in his hand in some dive across town
He'll be wipin' the bar and moppin' the floor
Countin' his tips and lockin' the doors
Restlin' with the devil that tells him to pour another round
When the lights go down

She'll be callin' her friends from the Mercedes Benz
But it's too late now
They were there for the fame the flash and thrill
The drop of the name the parties and the pills
So another star falls from the Hollywood hills without a sound

When the lights go down and there's nothing left to be
When the lights go down and the truth is all you see
When you feel that hole inside your soul wonder what you're made of
Well we all find out when the lights go down

When the lights go down
At the end of the day with this game that I play
Has gone another round
As I lay there alone in this big empty bed
Nothing but thoughts of you in my head
I think of the things that I wish I had said
When you were still around

When the lights go down yeah there's nothing left to be
When the lights go down and the truth is all you see
And I wonder if all my life's about the sum of all my fears and all my doubts
Yeah when the lights go down oh oh
[ guitar ]
When the lights go down when there's nothing left to be
When the lights go down yeah and the truth is all you see
When you feel that hole inside your soul wonder what your made of
Well we all find out when the lights go down
Ooh when the lights go down go down

Beautiful

Chris Lindsey - Aimee Mayo - Shaye Smith

© Monkey Feet Music, ASCAP

I love the way you stand in my way you won't move till you get a kiss
And how you tell me that my name it tastes so sweet on your lips
I love the way you hold me with your eyes hold me so tight that I can't move
It's like everything I've ever known is a lie and you're the simple truth

Is it a dream or is it real
All I know is you make me feel so beautiful beautiful beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful (feel like I could fly)
Beautiful (cross the clear blue sky)
Beautiful (baby I could cry) you make me feel so beautiful

I love how soft you touch my skin like you're touching the wings of a butterfly
I wish we could just lock ourselves away in a room where there was no such thing as time
I've never let anyone get this close I've always been afraid
But you break down every wall and I feel so safe

Every part of who I am
Is so in love cause what I have is beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful (feel like I could fly)
Beautiful (cross the clear blue sky)
Beautiful (baby I could cry) you make me feel so beautiful
Beautiful beautiful beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful (when you touch my face)
Beautiful (when you say my name)
Beautiful (always find the way) you make me feel so beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful
(Feel like I could fly) oh (cross the clear blue sky) oh
Beautiful beautiful beautiful

Unsaveable

Bobby Terry - Bekka Bramlett

© Irving Music, BMI

Love so cruel yeah that's all that I got from you
Tell me what in the world could I do
But leave after all that you've done to me
Now it's so easy to say I'm over you

Cause baby I cried a little too hard a little too long
What I thought was right was way too wrong and too far gone
I can't bring back the love there just ain't enough
Available impossible unsaveable

Here you come yeah tryin' to make up fpr what you've done
It's too late to say you're sorry now
Now it's your turn oh you can't cross that bridge you've burned
You're on your own when will you learn

Cause baby I cried a little too hard...

There's someone out there for me
Who thinks I'm beautiful I've got to go
[ guitar ]
Baby I cried a little too hard...

Baby You Belong

Keith Follese - Wade Kirby - Bill Luther

© Red Cape Songs, ASCAP

There's a reason why
You can look up every night and every star in heaven's in its place
There's a reason why
The full moon pulls up the tide and waves roll in to a shore that always waits
And just like that

Baby you belong baby you belong
Nothing's ever been so meant to be or ever felt so right to me
Every single part of me believes
Baby you belong oh baby you belong
There really is no mystery I think anyone can see
That baby you belong with me

There's a voice inside
And I heard it promise me when you came along I know you by heart
Like a familiar song
Every word is telling me that the time has finally come
Now here you are and I know for sure

Baby you belong oh baby you belong...

Like the sun belongs up in the morning sky
For at least another million reasons why yeah
[ guitar ]
Baby you belong oh baby you belong...

If You're Gonna Fly Away

Alecia Moore - Linda Perry

© April Music, ASCAP

If you're gonna fly away don't fly without me
Don't go no where I need you babe

Has the sun gone down on you have you given up on truth oh
I wish I could say all the right things to make your pain go away
I wish you knew how beautiful you are in every way
When the world is falling down just kneel with me and pray

If you're gonna fly away don't fly without me
Don't go nowhere I need you babe
If you gonna leave this place take me with you
I could never live without you oh

So you'll take a thousand pills hoping to be numb
Lie awake in bed counting all that's wrong
No one understands no one ever will
Trust me when I tell you I know just how you feel
You had all these dreams but you're in a small town
Oh they kill them for you
You had nothing else to do but use and use and use and use

If you're gonna fly away don't fly without me...

Just sing a song for me baby
It's not as bad as it seems no no no
What matters today won't matter tomorrow
Count all your blessings settle all your sorrow

If you're gonna fly away don't fly without me...

Stronger

Hillary Lindsey - Troy Verges

© Famous Music, ASCAP

This is the window to my heart I just want you to be free
There ain't no freedom where we are ain't no wishes in these stars
Ain't no reason to believe
But don't worry baby don't you worry maybe this is what we need
A little bruising a little bleeding some space that we can breathe in
Some silence in between

So cry for me baby and I'll cry for you
And we'll both break down and we'll both break through
We'll find our way and we'll face the truth we both will be stronger
And we'll lie down in our loneliness and wake up with our sad regrets
Even though we don't know it yet we both will be stronger
We both will be stronger

I can't believe you're really gone now but I know it's for the best
And I know that we weren't right but I still reach for you each night
And man that hurts like hell

So cry for me baby and I'll cry for you...
[ guitar ]
Stronger now so cry for me baby and I'll cry for you...

This is the window to my heart I just want us to be free
Baby I'm sorry for the way things are
Goodbye is always hard and we both will be stronger

Our love's the moon our love's the kingdom come
Our love's a flame our love's a will be done
Our love's a jewel a diamond in the rough
But you don't want it you don't want to take

If this is the end I don't wanna know this time if this is the end

Our love is true our love's the rising sun
Our love's in bloom our love has just begun yeah
Our love is proof of what was yet to come
But you don't want it you don't wanna take

If this is the end I don't wanna know...

It was so easy we were so young it's only natural to come undone
At the end of this evening before the rise of the sun
You're coming with me you're coming with me yeah

If this is the end I don't wanna know...

I don't wanna know I just want to bide my time
If this is the end I don't wanna go

Hillary Lindsey - Troy Verges

Yeah I have my addictions
And keep my share of secrets and things you'll never see
I get selfish and defensive
And pay too much attention to my insecurities
Oh I'm I'm just like everybody else I try to love Jesus and myself yeah yeah

I don't know what you believe or what you think of what you see
But this is a part of me what I do and who I am
All my impurities are right here on my sleeve
This is me yeah this is me

Yes my heart break for the homeless
I worry about my parents and all my bills are late
Yeah and I'm I'm dealing with the changes
This complicated strangeness of seeing life this way
I'm just like everybody else I try to love Jesus and myself

I don't know what you believe...
I don't know what you believe...
[ guitar ]
I laugh at silly movies
Tear up when I see babies and I'm stubborn as a stone
Yeah I I criticize my body
I wonder if I'm ready to ever be alone
Oh oh I'm I'm just like everybody else I cry yes I cry just like everybody else

I don't know what you believe...
Oh this is me yeah oh oh

Back To You

Derek Bramble - Lindy Robbins

© Window Music, BMI

I'm gonna find my way back to you

I lie in bed and watch the shadows dancing across the wall
Nothing to do but think of you and count the tears that fall
Oh how I wish it was real I wish I could feel you holding me close
The only thing I know for sure is I should've never let you go

I would walk the world across the sea journey beyond the moon
I try anything go anywhere to find my way back to you

I still don't understand the reason I think I was just afraid (what can I say)
All I can do is face the truth and deal with the mess that I made
Now all I want is the chance to take it back and go on like this
Because ever since we said goodbye I've been lost in loneliness

I would walk the world across the sea...

Now baby I was wrong now that you're gone the only thing left to do
Is spend every day stray every way to find my way back to you

I know that I was a fool to push you away
And if you let me back in your life
Baby I swear all my heart and in your arms I will stay
[ guitar ]
Baby I would walk the world across the sea...
Baby I'm gonna find my way back to you

I Think I Will

Stephen Robson - Ralph Smith

What would you say if I said something strange
That made a difference in how you feel
What would you do if I did something out of the blue
That made the world a better place oh I think I will

Gonna change fore I break
Gonna take your heartache and make it mine
This time oh I think I will
I'm gonna run till I find another way to make you mine
In time oh I think I will

What would you give if I gave you everything
And asked for nothing how would you feel oh
What would you think if I thought about doing something good
Jjust to make you smile oh I think I will

Gonna change fore I break...

I'm taking it slow but the further I go the more I know I think I will
The longer I live the stronger I get I'm positive I think I will
I'm taking it slow but the further I go the more I think I will
The longer I live the stronger I get I'm positive I think I will

Gonna change fore I break...

You're Still Here

Matraca Berg - Aimee Mayo

© Silver Kiss Music, BMI

Thought I saw you today
You were standing in the sun then you turned away
And I knew it couldn't be but my heart believed
Oh it seems like there's something everyday
How could you be so far away
When you're still here
When I need you you're not hard to find
You're still here I can see you in my baby's eyes
And I laugh and cry you're still here

I had a dream last night
That you came to me on silver wings of light
I flew away with you in the painted sky
And I woke up wondering what was real
Is it what you see and touch or what you feel
Cause you're still here
Oh you're everywhere we've ever been
You're still here
I heard you in a stranger's laugh
And I hung around to hear him laugh again
Just once again oh

Thought I saw you today
You were standing in the sun then you turned away away
