Dirty Laundry

That lipstick on your collar well it aint my shade of pink
And I can tell by the smell of that perfume its like forty dollars too cheap
And theres a little wine stain on the pocket of your white cotton thread
Well you drink beer and whiskey boy and you know I dont drink red

Found it over in the corner
Wadded up on the bedroom floor
You shoulda hid it in the closet
You shoulda burned it you shoulda lost it

Now Ima have to hang you out to dry dry dry
Clothespin all your secrets to the line line line
Leave em blowing in the wind just say goodbye to you
All those midnights sneaking in
Im late again oh Im so sorry
All the Ajax in the world aint gonna clean your dirty laundry

If the neighbors get to asking I wont cover nothin up
Ill tell em every little detail how you drug me through the mud
Im gonna string up your old button-down and slide it on the porch
Just in case you get the nerve to come knockin on my door

Yeah Ima have to hang you out to dry dry dry
Clothespin all your secrets to the line line line
Leave em blowing in the wind just say goodbye to you
All those midnights sneaking in
Im late again oh Im so sorry
All the Ajax in the world aint gonna clean your dirty laundry

Found it over in the corner
Wadded up on the bedroom floor
You shoulda hid it in the closet
You shoulda burned it you shoulda lost it

Leave em blowing in the wind just say goodbye to you
All those midnights sneaking in

Church Bells

Jenny grew up wild like a blackfoot daisy
Out in the shack with a blue tick hound
Broke as hell but blessed with beauty
The kind that a rich man cant turn down
She caught the eye of an oil man dancing
One summer night in a dime store dress
She had the looks he had the mansion
And you can figure out the rest

It was all roses dripping in diamonds
Sipping on champagne
She was all uptown wearing that white gown
Taking his last name

She could hear those church bells ringing ringing
And up in the loft that whole choir singing singing
Fold your hands and close your eyes
Yeah its all gonna be alright
And just listen to the church bells ringing ringing
Yeah theyre ringing

Jenny was hosting Junior League parties
And having dinner at the country club
Everyone thought they were Ken and Barbie
But Ken was always getting way too drunk
Saturday night after a few too many
He came home ready to fight
And all his money could never save Jenny
From the devil living in his eyes

It was all bruises covered in makeup
Dark sunglasses
And that next morning sitting in the back pew
Praying with the baptist

She could hear those church bells ringing ringing
And up in the loft that whole choir singing singing
Fold your hands and close your eyes
Yeah its all gonna be alright
You just listen to the church bells ringing ringing
Yeah theyre ringing

Jenny slipped something in his Tennessee whiskey
No law man was ever gonna find
And how he died is still a mystery
But he hit a woman for the very last time

She could hear those church bells ringing ringing
Standing there in a black dress singing singing
Fold your hands and close your eyes
Yeah its all gonna be alright
And just listen to the church bells ringing ringing
Yeah theyre ringing

Heartbeat

I love it when were at a party in a down-town crowd
Oh but I can hear you call me baby with the music up loud
Red wine good times no I dont mind being with everyone else
And then theres nights like tonight that I I want you to myself

And tonight I wanna drive so far well only find static on the radio
And we cant see those city lights and I love the way you look in a firefly glow
Saying everything without making a sound a cricket choir in the background underneath a harvest moon
Standing on your shoes in my bare feet dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat
Oh woah and were dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat

I wanna feel it like a kick drum beating faster in your chest
I wanna feel you holding onto me and make me hold my breath
You pull me closer my head on your shoulder baby we wont beat the song
Well make a fallen star wish one more slow kiss what are we waiting on?

And tonight I wanna drive so far well only find static on the radio
And we cant see those city lights and I love the way you look in a firefly glow
Saying everything without making a sound a cricket choir in the background underneath a harvest moon
Standing on your shoes in my bare feet dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat
Yeah were dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat

I wanna feel it like a kick drum beating faster in your chest

And tonight I wanna drive so far well only find static on the radio
And we cant see those city lights and I love the way you look in a firefly glow
Saying everything without making a sound
With a river rolling in the background underneath the hardest moon
Standing on your shoes in my bare feet dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat
And were dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat

Smoke Break

Shes a small-town hard-working woman just trying to make a living
Working three jobs feeding four little mouths in a run-down kitchen
When you never taking nothing and doing nothing but giving
Its hard to be a good wife and a good mom and a good Christian

She said I dont drink
But sometimes I need a stiff drink
Sipping from a high full glass
Let the world fade away
She said I dont smoke
But sometimes I need a long drag
Yeah I know it might sound bad
But sometimes I need a smoke break

Hes a big-city hard-working man just trying to climb the ladder
First generation to go to college instead of driving a tractor
Never had nothing handed to him on a silver platter
Its hard to be a good man good son do something good that matters

He said I dont drink
But sometimes I wanna pop that top
Take a swig and make the world stop
And watch it fade away
He said I dont smoke
But sometimes I wanna light it up
Yeah when things get tough
Sometimes I need a smoke break yeah

So heres to you and heres to when the day gets long
Go ahead I understand if you wanna take a load off

I dont drink
But sometimes I need a stiff drink
Sipping from a high full glass
Let the world fade away
Yeah and I dont smoke
But sometimes I need a long drag
Yeah I know it might sound bad
But sometimes I need a sometimes I need a

When the day gets long
When the works all done
When the sun sets
When you need to forget
Grab that cup
Fill it up
Sip it slow
And let it all go

Choctaw County Affair

Well lifes been kind of trippy down here in Mississippi
Since Cassie OGrady disappeared
And me and my Bob Shaver been in all the newspapers
Every day for nigh on a year
They say we got tangled in a love triangle
A fatal game of truth or dare

But the truth remains a mystery and now its ancient history
Its a Choctaw County affair
Its just a Choctaw County affair (Choctaw County affair)
Well people talkin bout it everywhere (Choctaw County affair)

Well Cassie OGrady was no Southern lady
Despite all the media hype
They all loved to make her out like a sweet little devout
All-American cheerleader type
But her mind was cattywampus
She was greedy she was pompous
Strutting round with her nose in the air

She was a cold gold-digger tickling a hand trigger
Its a Choctaw County affair
Its just a Choctaw County affair (Choctaw County affair)
And now they say shes lying dead somewhere (Choctaw County affair)

Well I do not deny I wished Cassie would die
When she threatened us with blackmail
She said she had some information that would wreck my reputation
And land Bobby back in jail
Now its best to remember Bobby Shavers got a temper
Like a buck-shot grizzly bear

But theres nobody theres no witness
So yall go mind your business
Its a Choctaw County affair
Its just a Choctaw County affair (Choctaw County affair)
Oh you mess with Bobby and you better beware (Choctaw County affair) yeah yeah-yeah
Hey yeah

Well the press went wild on the day of the trial
When they put us on the witness stand
They thought wed turn on each other but soon they all discovered
We were live-or-die hand in hand
And that fancy D.A. from down Jackson way
Said hed see us in the electric chair ha

But the foreman of the jury told me honey dont you worry
Its a Choctaw county affair yeah
(Choctaw County affair)
Yeah its just a Choctaw County affair (Choctaw County affair) yeah
How would you know cause you werent there (Choctaw County affair)
Its just a Choctaw County affair (Choctaw County affair)
Mmm yeah yeah (Choctaw County affair)

Youre gonna run out of cigarettes
And were gonna run out of wine

So pull up a comfortable chair baby
And put on those records that drive me crazy

Relapse

If anyone asks you never saw me
And I know you know better than to call me
Lets just hide out under the covers
One more secret between two old lovers
What can it hurt?

I aint hung up on you
I aint in love with you
This is just time that Im wasting
One or two little sips
Im alright I can quit
Youre just someone that Im tasting

I dont have to have you
I dont need to need you
Just a high that Im chasing
Dont think Im coming back
Its just a relapse

I know I said I said it was over
But its hard when I miss you to stay sober
So if I show up here at your door again
Oh its just me falling off of the wagon
What can it hurt?

I aint hung up on you
I aint in love with you
This is just time that Im wasting
One or two little sips
Im alright I can quit
Youre just someone that Im tasting

I dont have to have you
I dont need to need you
Just a high that Im chasing
Dont think Im coming back
Its just a relapse

I can quit when Im ready (I can quit)
I aint hurting nobody but me

I aint hung up on you
I aint in love with you
This is just time that Im wasting
One or two little sips
Im alright I can quit
Youre just someone that Im tasting

I dont have to have you
I dont need to need you
Just a high that Im chasing
Dont think Im coming back
Its just a relapse
Oh no

The Girl You Think I Am

Front row center in that little white church
I was singing at a baby laying in a manger
Eight years old wearing angel wings
Yeah and to this day thats what you see

Ive been daddys little girl since my first cry
And it was hard turning eighteen saying goodbye
You told me I was gonna take the world by storm
And Mama said you cried all the way home

You think Im strong you think Im fearless
Even when Im Im at my weakest
You always see the best in me when I cant
I wanna be the girl you think I am

I got my flaws and Ive got regrets
And I know theres more on the road ahead
When I wonder if Ill ever measure up
Oh I thank God for a fathers love

Cause you think Im brave and you think Im beautiful
You think that I can do the impossible
You always see the best in me when I cant
I wanna be the girl you think I am

Oh whoa
Oh whoa
The girl you think I am yeah
Ooh
Ooh yeah

All I want more than anything
Is to make you proud of me

Cause you think Im strong and you think Im fearless
Even when Im Im at my weakest
You believe in me; yeah youre my biggest fan
So I wanna be the girl you think I am
I wanna be the girl you think I am

What I Never Knew I Always Wanted

Never was the kind to think about dressing in white
Wasnt waiting on a prince to come riding into my life
Thought I was happy on my own
Til you came and proved me wrong

I finally found what I never knew I always wanted
I couldnt see; I was blind til my eyes were opened
I didnt know there was a hole
Something missing in my soul
Til you filled it up with your love yeah

Never pictured myself singing lullabies
Sitting in a rocking chair in the middle of the night
In the quiet in the dark
Youre stealing every bit of my heart with your daddys eyes
What a sweet surprise

And now Im holdin what I never knew I always wanted
I couldnt see; I was blind til my eyes were opened
I didnt know there was a hole
Something missing in my soul
Til you filled it up oh with your love

Life has a way of showing you just what you need
And who you were made to be yeah

I finally found what I never knew I always wanted
I couldnt see; I was blind til my eyes were opened
I didnt know there was a hole
Something missing in my soul
Til you filled it up with your love
Yeah you filled it up with your love yeah

I never was the kind to think about dressing in white
I never pictured myself singing lullabies

Little Girl Dont Grow Up Too Fast

(Target Bonus Track)

Little princess summer flowers in her hair
Playing Ring Around The Rosie in a picture there
Tiptoeing round the house in her mamas shoes
Coloring her lips red in her bedroom

Prom queen wants to be like the magazines
Thinks she found her king barely seventeen
Too much that the worlds wanting you to do
When youre still just a child in your mamas shoes

Little girl little girl dont grow up too fast
Fore you know it youll be wishing you could just go back
Dont you know therell be plenty of time for that
Somewhere down the road?
Yeah its all gonna fly in the blink of an eye
You cant slow down this thing called life
So take your time and let it last
Little girl dont grow up too fast

Sometimes I feel like Im hanging on by a thread
Climbing ladders trying to get to the next step
Working hard always wanting something more
Missing how things were simple like it was before

Cause its hard to know just what to do
When I still feel like a child in my mamas shoes

Little girl little girl dont grow up too fast
Fore you know it youll be wishing you could just go back
Dont you know therell be plenty of time for that
Somewhere down the road?
Yeah its all gonna fly in the blink of an eye
You cant slow down this thing called life
So take your time and let it last
Little girl dont grow up too fast

Sometimes I wish I could just go back and say
Take your time and let it last little girl

Yeah its all gonna fly in the blink of an eye
You cant slow down this thing called life
So take your time and let it last
Little girl dont grow up too fast
Little girl dont grow up too fast
