Pickin' Flowers
City vistas from a high-rise flat
Perrier mornings and Chardonnay sunsets
All my girlfriends say thats where it's at
Well, I guess there's something wrong with my mindset
Cuz I'd rather be
Out pickin' flowers
In a field
In a summer shower
Far from the crowds, city lights and cell phone towers
Ohh I'd rather be riding in the paddock
Catching zzzs in my favorite hammock
Counting the stars in the clear night sky for hours
Or pickin' flowers
Shopping on Rodeo blvd
Paparazzi by the Ivy bar
Twenty dollars just to park your car
Everyone wants to live like a rock star
But I'd rather be
Out pickin' flowers
In a field
In a summer shower
Far from the crowds, city lights and cell phone towers
Ohh I'd rather be sipping on an iced tea
Underneath a tall and shady pine tree
Counting the stars in the clear night sky for hours
Or pickin' flowers
Picking flowers
My-my-my money jingles, never folds
In my old straw bag
An-n-nother girl can dig for gold
But I wear my iron dog tags
Socialites and
Hoity toties
Dust the white off of their noses
But I
Just wanna smell the roses...
CHORUS 2x - Track Name: By Heart
-
By Heart
A thousand roads
Tangled up
Without a single sign
Yellow lines on both sides
And I been caught
In a race
Running out of gas
Got my wheels going 'round
Spinning way too fast
And now
I wanna stop and watch the sunset
Take a breath and let it all in
I know I'll find myself again
So when I have the strength to keep on driving
Gonna reach my horizon
It wont be far
Cuz I'll know it by heart
There's an end to this tunnel
And I can see the light
But I need it shining here tonight
All I've known for a while now are
Shades of black and white
I wanna see all the colors
In my life
CHORUS
There are so many roadblocks
In my way
On this highway
But I know what
I gotta to do
To make it through
CHORUS - Track Name: Sunny Side Up
-
Sunny Side Up
VERSE 1:
Wake up in the morning
Open up the curtains
Smilin’ at the blue
Breakfast in the kitchen
It’s already steamin'
Steaming-hot like you
PRE CHORUS:
Oh oh
I see you’re cookin’ up something
Lookin' like a treat
Oh, Oh
I’ll take my toast with honey and
My coffee sweet
CHORUS:
And I’ll take our la la love, la la la love
Sunny side uh uh up
Other people fight all night
But I ma let our love shine bright
I don’t wanna scramble it up
Baby I will take our love
Sunny side up
VERSE 2:
Walkin' in the sunlight
Suddenly a dark cloud
Stretches overhead
And now we're jumpin' over puddles
Under an umbrella
Kissin' in the rain
PRE 2:
Oh Oh
We find a silver lining in a purple storm
Oh Oh
I’ll take your lips wet honey
And your jacket warm
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
You and I
Got that spark
And when twilight comes
I wont be afraid of the dark
CHORUS
We take our la la love, la la la love
Sunny side uh uh up
Other people fight all night
But I ma let our love shine bright
I don’t wanna scramble it up
Baby let me take our love
Sunny side up - Track Name: In Your Eyes (First Kiss)
-
In your eyes (First Kiss)
In your eyes
I saw a mountain
Glistening with snow
And in your eyes
I saw a fireplace
And a cup of hot cocoa
Oooh everything I love
I see it all right now
In your eyes
I saw a tree house
On a summer day
And in your eyes
I saw the two small kids
Laughing as they play
Oooh everything I love
I see it all right now
In your eyes
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
Well, In your eyes
I see the sparks fly
As we tiptoe across that line
And in your eyes
I see my checks blush
As your lips reach for mine
Oooh everything I love
I see it all right now
My sweetest dreams coming alive
As fall into the fire
In your eyes
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah - Track Name: Second Hand
-
Second Hand
I remember late at night
On the edges of my sleep
Mommas singer humming
Through the wall
And when morning light would come
All those dated thrift store finds
Looked just like the fashions at the mall
Momma found my dresses on the Goodwill rack
I would stand there and she'd pin them up my back
There were pants to hem and stocking holes to mend
But momma's love was never second hand
Momma's love was never second hand
Looking though a dusty drawer
Found my mother's button box
That I used to play with as a kid
I'd pretend that I was rich
That i held treasure in my hands
And now I understand I really did
CHORUS
She would set her needs aside
She was always put me first
If she could, she would have given me the world
CHORUS - Track Name: Kissing Tree (Boom, Boom)
-
Kissing tree (Boom, Boom)
When I’m with you, the world just stands still
Now is everything, there’s no future or past
You got your hand pressed up against my skin
And I got my head up on your chest
Breathing out and breathing in, eyes closed
Trying to let it all sink in
Lying underneath the kissing tree, just you and me
And I wouldn’t know if there’d be
Armageddon going on, going on around us
All the weapons going off, going off, full blast, going
Boom, boom,
Going , going
Boom, boom,
And I feel
Little tingles, flying up, lying here the sunlight
Listen to my heart beat, when I’m up beside you, going
Boom, boom,
Going, going,
Boom, boom,
Going, going,
Boom, boom,
If this ain’t heaven I don’t know what is
When I’m with you, sometimes I can’t see
What’s reality and what’s a sweet dream
You made me wreath from chamomiles and here,
A butterfly flew near and sat on my chin
Pulling out and tucking in, softly
You’re braiding ribbons into my hair
Lying underneath the kissing tree, just you and me
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
When I’m with you, the world just stands still
Now is everything, there’s no future or past
CHORUS - Track Name: Red Rock Girl
-
Red Rock Girl
Plains of Oklahoma, hills of Tennessee
Sunny California, just my guitar and me
I lay on a different pillow every night
But when I close my eyes
I can see the mountain bluebird flying over my head
And I feel the canyon wind a-blowing through my hair
No, it doesn’t matter where I go in this world
'Cause in my heart I know I’m a red rock girl
Spent a morning lying on Hawaiian sand
Picked a Spanish flower, got a brown Egyptian tan
And I've been blinded by the New York lights,
But when I close my eyes
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Yeah I swam in every ocean
And I climbed the china wall
Everybody's got the notion that I have it all
CHORUS:
But I miss the charcoal silhouettes of Joshua trees
And I even miss the front gate full of tumbleweeds
But I really miss my baby waitin’ there for me
I'll know I'm where I wanna be
When I see the mountain bluebird flying over my head
Feel the Arizona wind a-blowing through my hair
No, it doesn’t matter where I go in this world
'Cause in my heart I know I’m a red rock girl - Track Name: Meadow
-
Meadow
In the meadow
Warm wind's blowing
Not a cloud
In the sky
Lay your head down
On my shoulder
Then we'll watch
The bluebirds fly
I don't want the diamonds high up in the heavens
And all the pearls down in the ocean will never do
darlin' I just wanna spend forever
Lying in the meadow with you
In the mountains
Rain's a-pourin'
I can hear
A distant storm
But in the meadow
Wrapped in your arms
I am always
Safe from harm
CHORUS
Ohhhhh
With you
Ooohhh
When our heartbeats
Turn to silence
They will lay us
Side by side
In the meadow
On a bed of wild grass
With our arms intertwined
CHORUS - Track Name: I Bet On Us
-
I Bet On Us
Everybody and their momma spreading rumors around,
Sayin' you and I ain't gonna last
A straight A private school student
And a boy from the wrong side of the tracks
Our daddys agree
We're never gonna make it
But this is our chance
Boy we gotta take it
let's go, go on and roll the dice
Boy I wanna go go up against all odds
If our love is the one thing we can trust
I bet on us
Alone I'm like a feather, caught up in the cold wind
But together we're a concrete wall
Walking though the world honey hand in hand
Just like we're invincible
With every little step
We get a little stronger
Keeping that faith
Just a little longer
let's go, go on and roll the dice
Boy I wanna go go up against all odds
If our love is the one thing we can trust
I bet on us
Even when we're dealt the weakest cards
And it seems like we're bout to go, 'bout to go bust
You will have my heart, boy it ain't no bluff
Go on baby, let's bet on us - Track Name: Someday
-
Someday
We say good by
And I wave out from the airplane with a smile
But it feels just like a bullet from gun
Every time, every time
Bar after bar
Up on tiny stages, singing out my heart
It's a thousand miles until I'm in your arms
Highway signs
Flashing by
I miss you so much
Boy it burns like fire
But baby someday
We'll be out on a desert plane,
Kissing in a red sunset haze
Just you and I
And maybe we'll find
A pair of horses out running wild
Hop aback
And ride away
From this life
Some day
You go to work
Where you wear your name embroidered on your shirt
Where the wheels of fate don't ever seem to turn
You call me up
Late at night
You sound like you've just about
Had enough
And I say
Baby someday
We'll be down on a riverbank
Skinny dipping out in the rain
Just you and I
Maybe we'll find
A little driftwood and build a raft
Hop aboard and sail away
From this life
Some day
Some daaaaaaay
Well,
Bils are high
Belts are tight
Oh and I
Ain't felt your touch
In a million nights
But baby someday
We'll be out on a desert plane,
Kissing in a red sunset haze
Just me and you
And maybe we'll find
A pair of horses out running wild
Hop aback
And ride away
From this life
Baby someday
All these dues will finally get paid
We will take a breath and celebrate
This life
Some day
