Nothing Better to Do

Truth is I wouldn’t be waiting on you if I had something better to do this town is bringing me down too many losers coming around. Seems all the prince charmings grew up became cheaters, liars and thugs so I wait around on you cause I got nothing better to do. Truth is you’re only in my mind the man...

That Girl

I wasn’t the girl who dreamed of her wedding day, thought more about paving my own way, but I panicked around 21, when all my friends had wed and I was no longer young. Sure I heard them whisper, “That girl’s a wild card, nobody’s gonna tame her.” I paid them no mind, though, til I saw that worried... Sign in to see full entry.

Beautiful Baby

Your birthday’s coming soon. I’ll celebrate alone this year like all the others, rejoicing the day you were born, mourning the day He took you home. Beautiful baby, in my heart always, touched you gently once, now holding you in my heart forever, just isn’t enough. The day He took you home, no baby... Sign in to see full entry.

What Part of Me Did You Not Get

Sitting in their living room, a place she’s made a home. She studies photos on the wall, of a young bride and a handsome groom. Just the two of them, job to job and dream to dream. She followed her heart, lost herself, to some it would seem. (Chorus) I promised you everything, my loyalty, my... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Not Tonight

Am I doin okay tonight? You wanna ask cause I seem down, Feel you should so I know you care. But while we're painting the town, Just remember this my friend, Tonight don't remind me how broken I really am. (chorus) Cause tonight I'm drinking my favorite wine, Wearing my best dress and talking to a... Sign in to see full entry.

Hellbound

Silly little girl with dreams in her hair, twirled in the curls goin nowhere on a train bound for anywhere, walking sin city, full of mercy yet so unforgiving. She licks her lips, seems to forget just one more hit could be it… or might just do the trick. Baby's home crying. Momma’s out trying. Maybe... Sign in to see full entry.

Paradise

Went shopping with my sunroof open and window down, Jewel singing Goodbye Alice as I prepare to freeze to death in this town. Got a roast in the oven busted three eggs, now I'm short a few dozen. Dishes are clean. Trash is out. Want to go bed but not without. Freeze is coming, Jewel keeps strumming... Sign in to see full entry.

Life Lessons

Baby buried. Grandma gone. Flooded home. Betrayals exposed. Hearts shattered. Promises broken. I stand alone. Blessed with endurance, I refuse to accept defeat, knowing my grandest hour may only be a moment kneeling at His feet. I find peace in my surrender, forgiving my transgressors, accepting my...

The Hunchback

Hunchback of Notoriety and Infamy come to town and destroy everything within reach. You owe nobody anything so you taunt and toy, tearing down friends and family, blunt force trauma to the heart of loyalties, one day you will just up and leave, for you owe nobody anything, and to this town you have...

Goodbye Cowboy

Been a doormat, a stepping stone, all alone, a way back home. Thinking it’s time to leave it behind find new ways to define this story of mine no room for you, no more time no free rides on this heart of mine. Gonna taste a little wine, listen to a new song, can’t go wrong when it’s me stringing me... Sign in to see full entry.
