You can leave your toothbrush here
And I’ll wash that little piece of lingerie
But you cannot come back here
Until you open up to me about some things
Tell me about what you want
And who you are
Tell me ‘bout your family
And about who broke your heart
Tell me all your favorite songs
And what turns you on
Tell me ‘bout your dreams
And all the things that you got goin’ on
Girl you should tell me
You should tell me
Maybe I’m just movin’ too quick
But I’m anxious just to get to the bottom of it
Girl you make me nervous
But I’ll do my best to slow it down
And wait for it
But in the meantime
Tell me
What you want
And who you are
Tell me ‘bout your family
And about who broke your heart
Tell me all your favorite songs
And what turns you on
Tell me all your dreams
And all the things that you got goin’ on
Girl you should tell me
I can stand on my own two feet
But it’d be nice to love a woman
Who really sees me
You bring out the best of me
Call me crazy yes I know
It’s only been a couple weeks
But you should tell me
What you want
And who you are
Tell me ‘bout your family
And about who broke your heart
Tell me all your favorite songs
And what turns you on
Tell me all your dreams
And all
All the things
All the things that
That you got goin’ on
That you got goin’ on

Here I am here I stand here I go again
This dream of mine won’t go away
And I know that I’ve still got songs to sing
This thought of you won’t go away
And I can’t help myself from wondering
What could’ve been what still might be
Or maybe baby I’m just lonely
Oooh ooooh oooh ohhh
Oooh ooooh oooh ohhh
I can still hear you my dear
And I know that you still be hear me
I can still hear you my dear
And I know that you still hear me
Oooh ooooh oooh ohhh
Oooh ooooh oooh ohhh
Here I am here I stand here I go again
This job of mine it beats me up but I count my blessings every single night
I didn’t get the raise and that’s ok my Momma said it’ll give me time to write
These songs for you and I can’t thank you all enough for comin’ out tonight
I can still hear you my dear
And I know that you still be hear me
I can still hear you my dear
And I know that you still hear me
Oooh ooooh oooh ohhh

That old moon shinin’ on your lips
I won't lie makes me wanna kiss
But I know better cuz now I see
That gettin’ over lovin you has gotten pretty easy
That bright sun shinin’ from the East will do nothin’ but bring me to my feet
But I know better cuz now I see that gettin’ overlovin you has gotten pretty damn easy
I’m over you
Your eyes are like the sun but you hang like the moon
I’m over
I’m so over you
I’m over
Over loving
Loving you
It’s hard to see when you're standing in the storm
That love comes crashing down before you know it's gone
So save your kisses keep them in your heart
I know I overloved you right from the start
I’m over you
Your eyes are like the sun but you hang like the moon
Yes I’m over
I’m so over you
I’m over
Over loving
Loving you

Goodbye LA
03:21
|
|||
|
We don’t have these things back home
This union station is kinda like a cathedral
For a small town girl just workin’ for something more
Tryin’ to get to San Diego by 4
Well I missed my train baby
Just a minute too late and they don’t wait
I'll be down by Marina Del Rey
But you never came
And I understand you're holding her hand
But if I’m ever back out your way
Honey i'll stay outta your face
I won’t miss my train
Goodbye LA
Well I’m finally on the train
Lookin’ out the window
Thinkin’ of all the times we talked
On your way down to San Diego
Now I know why you took that train home
It’s so comfortable but I still feel so alone
And I heard that you’re doing great
Your Mama said you finally found your fate
But if I’m ever back out your way
Honey I’ll stay out of your face
I won’t miss my train
Goodbye LA
But you never came my way
And I understand you’re holding her hand
But if I’m ever back out your way
I will not miss my train
I’ll stay outta your face
Goodbye LA

Lately baby I’ve been patiently waiting
And lately baby I’ve been daydreaming
About you and I
You and I
Yes you and I you and I
Just just wandering
You told me to pucker up buttercup
Let me help you fill your cup
With love and no distraction
Escape the world for a minute
Remember to put your whole self in it
With love and no distraction
But you you know you pick me up when I’m down
And you keep my head up you know you do
And you you know you pick me up when I’m down
And you keep my head up
Well I drink and I think too much
But I don’t read nearly enough
And I hide my secrets between these six strings
And I I’ve got that something that I think you’re missing
Baby won’t you come with me
But you you know you pick me up when I’m down
And you keep my head up you know you do
And you you know you pick me up when I’m down
And you keep my head up
Lately baby I’ve been patiently waiting
And lately baby I’ve been daydreaming
About you and I
You and I
You and I you and i
Just wandering
You told me to pucker up buttercup
Let me help you fill your cup
With love and no distraction
Escape the world for a minute
Remember to put your whole self in it
With love and no distraction

Virgin Champagne

We don’t make love like we used to anymore it was all the time
And I know that we’ve gone over this before
But I feel like I haven’t had you in quite a while
And I don’t think you know how bad I really want to make you smile
And it's been hurtin’ me
The old me would be sipping whiskey
It’s virgin champagne for me these days
And I’m finally free
Hand in hand with my baby
Runnin’ wild everyday
The world it’s at our fingertips
Tryin’ to figure out where to point
And what to make of this
Can we go back to me and you
Now we’re getting down down town
And all the way back to the hotel room
Happy anniversary baby
Remember what you gave to me last year
Well I do well I do I do
You gave me all of you
Can we go back to me and you
And I’m feeling much better now
The old me would be sipping whiskey
It’s virgin champagne for me these days
And I’m finally free
Hand in hand with my baby
Runnin’ wild everyday everyday
The world it’s at our fingertips
Tryin’ to figure out where to point
And what to make of this
Can we go back to me and you
Cuz I need all of your love all of your love
Yes I need I need all of your love all of your love
Yes I need all of your love all of your love
Yes I need I need all of
All of your love

I kinda like how you like your coffee iced even in the winter time
And I kinda like how you like your showers cold at night or do i
And i kinda like how you paint your nails sittin’ on the floor
I kinda like you can I have a little more
Yes I know that you know yes I know that you know
Yes I know that you know
I kinda like how you find the harmony to anything that I sing
And I kinda like how you found me
You don’t know how long I’ve been running
And I kinda like how you sing in John Mayer’s key
Father’s be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
And I kinda like how you’re your daddy’s girl
You’re your daddy’s girl too
Cuz I know that you know yes I know that you know

Get The Hint (Revisited)
05:18
|
|||
|
Baby I’ll be your angel you just tell me on which shoulder
I’ll keep you safe from danger this world couldn’t get any colder
We were so close to being strangers the truth is we're just getting older
I’ll be back before you know it was the last thing that I told her
And I want your skin confined by own two hands
There still might be some sin within them but I’ve seen who you’ve forgiven
Don’t you forget that now
If anything thank you for helping me catch my breath
And these scars and calloused hands are all that I have left
Chorus:
Out here in the desert the days are getting shorter and shorter
And I can feel it gettin’ a little bit colder and colder
A thousand miles is too far to hold her
Well I would up and leave myself but could somebody please tell me what’s the
hold up?
Verse 2:
Don’t you get the hint, don’t you get the hint or do I need to spell it out?
You’re all that I think about you’re all I write about you are all I sing about
And I keep on wonderin’ & waitin’ & wishin’ when you’ll be comin’ around, come comin around
But who am I joking you never came around
Chorus:
Out here in the desert the days are getting shorter and shorter
And I can feel it gettin’ a little bit colder and colder
A thousand miles is too far to hold her
Well I would up and leave myself could somebody please tell me what is the
hold up? Oh no, oh now what is the hold up
Break:
Oh and the rain the rain the rain, oh it was coming down yes it was coming down
Oh and the rain you feel it it was coming down, oh the rain you know it was coming down
Don’t you remember the rain, the rain the rain yes it was coming down
Verse 3
I could watch you watching me smokin’ my last cigarette
And in your eyes I could tell you’re just a little bit scared
And that’s all right cuz we’ve already been there
Yes that’s all right if you’re still a little bit scared
Chorus:
Out here in the desert the days are getting shorter and shorter
And I can feel it gettin’ a little bit colder and colder
A thousand miles is too far to hold her
Well I would up and leave myself if i could but could somebody please tell me what is the
hold up?

Not Myself
04:10
|
|||
|
I had to tell on myself
Not on anybody anybody else
It’s time for me to show up and not interrupt
Not to black out when things start to get rough
You’re just a girl with a healthy smile
I’m a girl full of danger you know not to play with fire
You could never erase or trace the base of my love for you
Even if you, even if you wanted to
You ever feel like you’re falling you’re
fallin, you could be fallin
You ever feel like you’re dreamin you’re
dreamin you might be dreamin
You ever feel like you are not yourself
It might not look like it’s working
But it’s one day at a time yep that’s the deal
The scars are finally healing
And I think I think I’m gonna be I’m gonna be just just fine
You ever feel like you’re falling you’re
fallin you could be fallin
You ever feel like you’re dreamin you’re
dreamin you might be dreaming
You ever feel like you are not yourself

Pretty Butterflies
04:57

I’ve got bruises from boozin
And I keep on losin and losin and losin
Please be aware of what I’m aggressive
And possessive towards
And be prepared that I’ve got my secret worlds
But I keep messin’ and testin’ with different girls
You know it’s just become depressing
But I’m sure I will stand up
To this world and that's for sure
And why haven’t you given up on me
And why do you always forgive me
No you shouldn’t do that
Tell me why won’t you just let me be
You know you should let me be
You should let me be
But you like the weather
Whether it’s nice or cold
And you will watch the news
Whether its new or old
But you will love my smile
Whether its fake or real
But I sure do miss you baby
Whether you're far or you’re right here
Why haven’t you given up on me
Why do you always forgive me
No you shouldn't do that
Tell me why won’t you just let me be
You know you should let me be
You should let me be
And thank you for all of the butterflies
That you left inside of me
Well I will tell you this
They sure are pretty
And this hotel paper is halfway wasted
And so am I
But with plenty on my mind
Oh yes plenty on my mind
And you know well I was thinkin’
While you were dreamin’
All about the kissin’ that we did this evenin’
That led us to your blankets
I hope you don’t regret it
And your breath was so damn sharp
I kissed you a hundred times
Just to leave my mark
Just to leave my mark
Why haven’t you given up on me
Why do you always forgive me
No you shouldn't do that
Tell me why won’t you just let me be
You know you should let me be
You should let me be
Pretty butterflies butterflies
Fly away
Yea you should fly away now
Pretty butterflies butterflies
You should fly away
