1.	Dawes County 04:54	lyrics	buy track
DAWES COUNTY Dawes County knows who I am Three generations on borrowed land For years we farmed that piece of ground To which we’re always bound Used to be a pretty drive through town Now the streets are empty, and the stores shut down Fifteen churches, but you can’t buy a drink Hell of a missing link And I won’t be coming home again CHORUS No I won’t be coming home again Dawes County doesn’t know where I’ve gone or how I’ve grown I’m still the girl on grandpa’s land Happy to lend a hand I packed my bags, I turned the page From a tired main street and minimum wage To a brand new chapter in a brand new town And a new life I’ve found And I won’t be coming home again CHORUS No I won’t be coming home again I don’t miss the green grass Or how slow the days pass And I don’t miss the stars at night Or how everyone is so damn polite Small town loves and old secrets I might miss you but that’s about it I’ve replaced those hugs with handshakes now If you knew me at all you might know how I’ve learned the art of passing through It’s just a different view And I won’t be coming home again No I won’t be coming home again (2X) No I won’t, oh I won’t be coming home again
2.	Little Things 04:18	lyrics	buy track
LITTLE THINGS There’s a universe, where we can meet, smaller than the eye can see But there’s no evidence, no clear sign, so everyone just passed it by Can’t take a picture, to validate, something that was never made But in the silence, you may know, where your soul wants to go You can’t divvy up, infinity, the whole is in the part you see And I can’t give you, just a little love, it’s mixed with everything above That universe, inside your eyes, they see it and they walk on by Inside the inside, where nothing ends, that’s no place to make new friends Little things…little things…don’t you wanna go down deep Far below…all the chatter…where nothing in your story matters You may think, I have it all, but everything I want is small A silent moment, not on the run, the feeling that we might be one Been swimming in, the grandiose, but it can’t even get me close To the truth, I used to know, before I hit the undertow Little things…little things…don’t you wanna go down deep Far below…all the chatter…where nothing in your story matters You’ve got a million followers, what is that really worth Without a picture on the wall, did it really happen at all did it really happen at all Can’t take a picture, to validate, something that was never made But in the silence, you may know, where your soul wants to go Little things…little things…don’t you wanna go down deep Far below…all the chatter…where nothing in your story matters
3.	Play Nice 03:59	lyrics	buy track
PLAY NICE I see you walk in, get a gin, find your place at the bar Pretty girl to the right, on the left that old guitar I’ve seen you here before, bottom floor, on the main back stage Guess it wasn’t time to know you, so we went on our way When you lay it down, you know how, to move the atmosphere And I’m leaning in, the whole crowd, just fades and disappears Don’t really know you, but you cut through, to my softer side And I almost didn’t notice, when they turned on the lights You play nice, play nice, play nice - play nice, play nice, play nice Not here for romance, but by chance, you walk over my way People all around, but your eyes, never wander away Under the warm sky, you ask me why, should we have to wait Could we spend some time together, never know it might be fate You play nice, play nice, play nice - play nice, play nice, play nice Hmmmm Don’t ever dismiss, a slow kiss (REP 4X) BRIDGE This is the part, breaks my heart, but it’s nine a.m. And we don’t know what this is, but it sure ain’t friends You play nice, play nice, play nice See you later, sweet stranger
4.	B Side 03:32	lyrics	buy track
B SIDE If you were a record on my shelf You know I’d play you night and day Running that same song round and round Til I wear the grooves away Playing the A side (A side) Over and over and over again What about the B side Sooner or later we got to jump in I don’t know what keeps you up In the middle of the night What’s hidden in your shadows Do you bark before you bite I’m playing the A side Over and over all night long What about the B side I won’t judge you right or wrong If we’re gonna be together No need to bite your tongue Some songs aren’t for everyone But that don’t mean that they should go unsung I want the B side, yah I want the B side too You should know I’m not the one You gotta hide your secrets from I could dig them out of you Don’t you know I could love that too And while we’re on the subject Wouldn’t you like to know What’s hidden in between the lines That I’m too afraid to show Playing the A side Over and over and over again What about the B side Oh we got to jump in
5.	No Use In Crying 04:38	lyrics	buy track
NO USE IN CRYING Sometimes I sing, instead of talking Cause baby that’s the way I feel Like everything should rhyme, with the rhythm in time Body swaying like a tree Wish life was groovin’ like my favorite song But sometimes it just drags along If I should dance, instead of walking You know the spirit, is moving me And I don’t care, who’s a watching Cause in the moment, I have the key To moving right along with the flow Digging all the highs and lows Ain’t no use in crying, no use in crying What goes up will fall away Just when you think you got it down, life will turn around And you’ve got to move a different way They may not want you, to sing your song But that’s just jealousy Cause you move your feet, to your own beat Don’t care if anyone can see You may not always please the crowd Love ‘em anyway and sing out loud Listen to the rhythm that you have down deep inside There’s a song that’s only yours, sing it ‘til the day you die Now they may tell you, to think positively But baby that’s just a line Cause they don’t wanna know, when you’re in the throes And life isn’t going fine Allow yourself to go adrift Then come on back and remember this
6.	Tattered and Torn 04:19	lyrics	buy track
TATTERED AND TORN You’ve got a book, to write… Hiding down, deep inside But it may never ever come out, to see the view Your mind can see the limelight Bow to the crowd, exit stage right But in the world, your dreams are known to just a few And I wish you would tell me What’s in between those lines What story you’re writing what do you hide behind And I wish you would show me The way you feel inside Why do you seem so sad I wish that I could ease your mind Tattered and torn all your edges are worn But I love your story, just like you tattered and torn Don’t tell me the fairytale You know I’m not so frail I’ve had my own twists and turns along the road Will you let someone share your tale Look underneath the veil We both know, that the cover is just for show And I wish you would tell me What do you have to say And do you think maybe Your heart could find a way To let go and show me What’s in the storyline Your questions and answers Cause baby I can’t read your mind Tattered and torn all your edges are worn But I love your story, just like you tattered and torn The future is still unmade The past has already been played It’s time to turn the page Tattered and torn all your edges are worn But I love your story, just like you tattered and torn Hmmmmm
7.	You'll See 04:23	lyrics	buy track
YOU’LL SEE If I bow down in the morning, and send out a higher prayer Get drunk in the evening, does that mean I’m unaware Or do you think it means, I like to live in between Look...with…in…and you’ll see You may think I’m confused, but I know who I am inside Check your boxes if you like, I remain unclassified Don’t you ever wanna cross the line, that old world won’t let you shine Look…with…in…and you’ll see They like the cover but not the book, close your eyes take a better look Look…with…in…and you’ll see Is she an angel or a whore, is she just what you adore or hate Would you keep her in a box, so she never finds her fate Or could you let it flow, see where she wants to go Look…with…in…and you’ll see I don’t stake any claim, my flag doesn’t have a stripe Any color that you choose, is bound to start a fight Or could it maybe be, that we’re meant to live in between Look…with…in…and you’ll see They like the cover but not the book, close your eyes take a better look Look…with…in…and you’ll see You may think she has fallen, when she really heard the calling within If you listen you must follow, even if they call it a sin Mold my world as I may, a potter with a little clay Look…with…in…and you’ll see They like the cover but not the book, close your eyes take a better look Look…with…in…and you’ll see Oh you’ll see, look within and you’ll see, oh I like to live in between…
8.	The Most Beautiful 04:19	lyrics	buy track
The Most Beautiful The man with three legs goes town to town With Siamese twins and wolf girl, renowned For howling at the crowd, to fill the tip jar She richer than them by far The most beautiful girl in the world is disguised In a body as large as the wide open sky They don’t look very deep, they just gape and they stare As if she’s not really there All the freaks that we meet The pointers and laughers, impaired by conceit Grotesquely two-faced, we pray for their misshapen souls All the freaks that we meet God fearing witnesses, drunk with deceit Keep your eyes open, the preacher will throw the first stone The tallest man alive has brittle bones And somber eyes from years alone He doesn’t say much, but his words are true Even though he’s pay per view The tiniest couple, a woman and man They had a child you could fit in one had He didn’t live long, and the people they came To see the world’s smallest grave All the freaks that we meet The pointers and laughers, impaired by conceit Grotesquely two-faced, we pray for their misshapen souls All the freaks that we meet God fearing witnesses, drunk with deceit Keep your eyes open, the preacher will throw the first stone

10.	Flowers at My Feet 04:50	lyrics	buy track
FLOWERS AT MY FEET Look up at the sky, throw my head back and wonder What’s been going on back at home One more night to go, don’t have a lot to give But I’ll dig it up for the show Words don’t mean nothing, my heart has been hard to find PRE-CHORUS Some flowers just might change my mind Hey……. Yah She put the flowers, put the flowers at my feet… Hey….hey, oh alright now She put the flowers, put the flowers at my feet Got nothing to bring, don’t look me in the eye Cause you surely won’t see a thing Yah, I been drinking too much, Been taking the place of my good man’s touch Words don’t mean nothing, my heart has been hard to find Some flowers just might change my mind Hey…….
