LYRICS
Kerosene
I'm waitin' on the sun to set cause yesterday aint over yet
I started smoking cigarettes there's nothing else to do I guess
Dusty roads aint made for walking, spinning tires aint made for stoppin'
I'm giving up on love cause love's given up on me
I gave it everything I had and everything I got was bad
Life aint hard but it's too long to live it like some country song
Trade the truth in for a lie, cheating really aint a crime
I'm giving up on love cause love's given up on me
Forget you high society, I'm soakin' it in Kerosene
Light 'em up and watch them burn, teach them what they need to learn HA!
Dirty hands aint made for shakin', aint a rule that aint worth breakin'
Well I'm giving up on love cause love's given up on me
Now I don't hate the one who left, you can't hate someone that's dead
He's out there holding on to someone, I'm holding up my smoking gun
I'll find somewhere to lay my blame the day she changes her last name
Well I'm giving up on love cause love's given up on me
Well I'm giving up on love HEY love's given up on me
What About Georgia?
You draw it out like a highway
With every word that you say
Excuses for the answers that you lack
Your mama's still the steady ground you walk on every day
And your daddy's still the monkey on your back
Did you find all you thought you'd find out in the wild, wild west
You took a little piece of home and you threw away the rest
You say you're livin' on the edge and I think you're hangin' from a ledge
Too scared to hold the hand that wants to help you up
Are you the man you thought you'd be by the time that you turned 33
Are you still a bullet in your daddy's gun
Don't forget boy you're your mama's only son
She's at home and she's been praying for you
Hey what about Georgia
Saw your sister yesterday
Austin's five and on his way
Looking for some shoes that he can fill
He said that he'd be just like you, the coolest guy he ever knew
And he'd find you when he lost his training wheels
I looked in his big blue eyes and I saw you again
He's hungry for a life that he aint ready to begin
You say you're livin' on the edge and I think you're hangin' from a ledge
Too scared to hold the hand that wants to help you up
Are you the man you thought you'd be by the time that you turned 33
Are you still a bullet in your daddy's gun
Don't forget boy you're your mama's only son
She's at home and she's been praying for you
So what about Georgia
Guess you didn't realize it'd take you quite this long
To figure out that being free is right where you belong
You say you're livin' on the edge and I think you're hangin' from a ledge
Too scared to hold the hand that wants to help you up
HEY! Are you the man you thought you'd be by the time that you turned 33
Are you still a bullet in your daddy's gun
Don't forget boy you're your mama's only son
She's at home and she's been praying for you
Hey want about Georgia
What about Georgia yeah
What about Georgia Georgia Yeah
What about Georgia
Greyhound Bound For Nowhere
Rain on the window makes me lonely
And time keeps on passin' so slowly
The old man sittin' next to me is fallin' asleep
On a Greyhound bound for nowhere
The sun's goin' down on my misery
Another day gone by with broken dreams
That cell phone I hear ringin' - I keep wishin' it was you
On a Greyhound bound for nowhere
And that ring that you were wearin' don't mean everything
And the way that you stood starin', as you watched me roll away
She loves you and you need me, and there's some things we can't share
I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere.
The bright lights of a city shinin' up ahead
My heart's analyzin' every word you said
Did you take me for a fool, or did you really care?
I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere
And that ring that you were wearin', don't mean everything
And the way that you stood starin', as you watched me roll away
She loves you and you need me, and there's some things we can't share
I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere
And I'm gonna find some place I can ease my mind
And try to heal my wounded pride
Rain on the window and I'm still lonely
And time keeps on passing so slowly
You're with her and I'm alone, and you're wishing I was there
I'm on a Greyhound bound for nowhere
We're all on a Greyhound bound for nowhere
New Strings
I bet this road'll take me outta here
Take me far away from Amarillo
I bet this car'll go real fast
The wheels might even drive me past
Places that you said I would never go
Oh...
The Texas sky's the biggest one I've seen
But it still ain't big enough for you and me
All the things that make you mad
And all the baggage in your past
Don't leave much room for a girl like me to be
So I'll fill her up with hope and worn out dreams
And I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it west
Pack the good and leave the rest
I'll drive until I find the missing piece
You said I wouldn't get too far
On a tank of gas and an empty heart
But I got everything I'll ever need
I got this ol' guitar and a brand new set of strings
Mama said I never shoulda done it
Should've ended us before we ever started
Daddy knew about my pride
So he stood there and he smiled inside
And I pretended that I didn't notice
The little tear that fell when I said I was going
And I'll grab the wheel and I'll point it west
Pack the good and leave the rest
And drive until I find the missing piece
You said I wouldn't get too far
On a tank of gas and an empty heart
And I got everything I'll ever need
I got this ol' guitar and a brand new set of strings
And I've worried about life and if it's arriving right on time
I guess if you don't jump -You'll never know if you can fly
You said I wouldn't get too far
On a tank of gas and an empty heart
But I got everything I'll ever need
I got this ol' guitar and a brand new set of strings
I Can't Be Bothered
I can't be bothered to miss you anymore
Month twelve, day thirty-one and hour twenty-four
I used to think if missed hard enough you'd come back for sure
I can't be bothered now to miss you anymore
It's not like I don't have tears to cry
Such memories so little time
This box of photographs to go through one by one
There's just so much work to get done
I can't be bothered to miss you anymore
Month twelve, day thirty-one and hour twenty-four
I used to think if missed hard enough you'd come back for sure
I can't be bothered now to miss you anymore
When you skipped town I was such a mess
So I found some things to do instead
Trick is to find something to occupy your mind
Now I spend most days chasin' mine
And I can't be bothered to miss you anymore
Month twelve, day thirty-one and hour twenty-four
I used to think if missed hard enough you'd come back for sure
I can't be bothered now to miss you, I'm cuddling up to kiss you
And I can't be bothered now to miss you anymore
Bring Me Down
Sweet like a kiss sharp like a razor blade
I find you when I' m close to the bottom
You cant appreciate the time it takes
To kick a love I always knew was kind of wrong
And as I'm putting out the flame
Somebody brings up you name
Oh oh oh oh
Baby baby baby bring me down
I want to be right where you are
Baby baby baby bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Break my heart
Six AM unruffled pillow
Laughs out loud at my trusting heart
It's like I didn't see the penny
I missed the fountain by a couple yards
If you would only stay gone
Maybe I could move on
Oh oh oh oh
Baby baby baby bring me down
I want to be right where you are
Baby baby baby bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Break my heart
OH! Baby baby baby bring me down
I want to be right where you are
Baby baby baby bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Break my heart
OH! Baby baby baby bring me down
I want to be right where you are
Baby baby baby bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Break my heart
Bring me down...
Me And Charlie Talking
Written by Miranda Lambert, Rick Lambert & Heather Little
Me and Charlie boy used to go walking, sittin' in the woods behind my house
When being lovers meant a stolen kiss and holding hands with nobody else around
Charlie said he wanted to get married but we were only ten so we'd have to wait
He said we'd never let our love run dry like so many do these days
So we treat our love like a firefly, like it only gets to shine for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar and with holes in the top and run like hell to show it off
Oh promises we made when we'd go walkin', that's just me and Charlie talking
Charlie always said he'd like to leave here, so he turned eighteen and he left our sleepy town
Letters came and went and I kept waiting for Charlie to come back and bring the life he'd found
Funny how time and distance change you the road you take don't always lead you home
You can start a love with good intentions and then you look up and it's gone
So we treat our love like a firefly like it only gets to shine for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar and with holes in the top and run like hell to show it off
Oh the promises we made when we were walking that's just me and Charlie talking
Even now I sometimes think of Charlie and how we thought we new it all back then
Now I'd give anything to feel love from a child's heart again
So we treat our love like a fire Fly like it only gets to shine for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar and with holes in the top and run like hell to show it off
Oh the promises we made when we were walking that's just me and Charlie talking
I Wanna Die
You know it's so complicated, first you love then you hate it
Someone's laughing, someone's crying, someone livin', someone's dyin'
Somebody always loses and we still play the game
And the fire will always burn you and we still light the flame
Let's make it up baby, cause I ain't gonna fight
If you're the death of me darlin', I wanna die
You always say that you love me and there is no one above me
Never giving, always takin', never bending, always breaking
I know you ain't a liar but you don't tell the truth
And you're walkin' on a wire wearing someone else's shoes
If you're handing out misery I'll be the first in line
If you're the death of me darlin' I wanna die
Tear it up, break it down
Put my heart on your sleeve and wear it all over town
I know you're a player but you don't play by the rules
And I'm just another in a long line of fools
Yeah it's so complicated, I love then I hate it
I'm laughing, you're crying, you're livin', I'm dyin'
Somebody always loses and we still play the game
Yeah the fire will always burn you and we still light the flame
Let's make it up baby, cause I aint gonna fight
If you're the death of me darlin', I wanna die
Yeah, tear it up, break it down
Put my heart on your sleeve and wear it all over town
I know you're a player but you don't play by the rules
And I'm just another in a long line of fools
Yeah it's so complicated, I love then I hate it
I'm laughing, you're crying, I'm livin', you're dyin'
I know you aint a liar but you don't tell the truth
Hey, you're walkin on a wire wearing someone else's shoes
If you're handing out misery I'll be the first in line
If you're the death of me darlin' I wanna die
Ohhhh... I wanna die
Tear it up, tear it up
Um, Um, Ummm
Love Is Looking For You
Maybe you're just jaded from some nobody's unforgotten words
Maybe you're just faded, a little gray from every time that you've been hurt
So you're lookin for your skin - that you never did fit in
You can't hide when you're turned inside out
Love is looking for you now
Maybe you been burnin' but you can't blow out a flame that you can't find
Maybe you've been thirsty but the rain just aint enough when you're this dry
So you're runnin' from the water and the fire's getting hotter
I think you better find some level ground
Love is lookin' for you now
Love is lookin' for you now
Maybe you've been wearing the shoes that someone else is wearing now
Maybe you've been swearing forever might have already run out
You can't love yourself at the expense of someone else
You can't hide a liar from the truth
Love is lookin' for you
Love is lookin' for you
I've been looking for you
Baby I've been lookin..
I've been looking for you
Mama, I'm Alright
Well the sun just got through going down
On a sleepy little Texas town
Population plus one minus one
A new grandma rocks my sister's kid
Just like twenty years ago she did
The same thing in that same chair
She said "this one's born to run"
Every day at noon like a chapel bell
Find her Jesus keep her well
Help her do more right than wrong at the end of the day
I got five good years and a tank of gas
Fifty watts and Johnny Cash
A guitar and a broken heart just full of things to say
You taught me how to stand those tests and trials
But you can't see a desert sunrise in the Bible
She loves me more that anything
And she wants the world for me
Her west dropped off in El Paso
And her north in Abilene
Mama, I'm OK out here
I've seen how hard the world can be
My step is sure and I know my name
I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be
I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be
If I'd have done what you and daddy done
I would've never lost and never won
Or gotten myself kicked when I was down
I would not know how to travel well
A hundred bucks and a cheap motel
I would not know how to fight for my own heart next time around
Now don't you cry another night about me
In this city I've got angels all around me
She loves me more that anything
And she wants the world for me
Her west dropped off in El Paso
And her north in Abilene
Hey Mama I'm OK out here
I've seen how hard the world can be
My step is sure and I know my name
I'm strong just like you prayed Id be
I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be
I felt it every time you prayed for me
I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be
There's A Wall
I'd run away but I can't escape the power of your pride
Your eyes are cold like an empty soul and I'm burning up inside
There's nothing wrong with letting go and you're still diggin' in
We're racing to the bottom and I can't find the end
And there's a wall
Standing here between us
And that's all that's keeping you from freedom
And I keep pushing harder and you keep getting stronger
You won't break cause you're afraid you'll fall
And there's a wall
You love me when you want to and you find reasons to fight
Another lame excuse to keep the devil on you side
Trying hard to hide those scars that I've already seen
Your beat up heart's not the only thing that's keeping you from me
And there's a wall
Standing here between us
And that's all that's keeping you from freedom
And I keep pushing harder and you keep getting stronger
You won't break cause you're afraid you'll fall
And there a wall
Pain has made you weak and hard
I will never be as strong
As strong
As this wall
Standing here between us
And that's all that's keeping you from freedom
And I keep pushing harder and you keep getting stronger
You won't break cause you're afraid you'll fall
And there's a wall
Love Your Memory
I don't want to see you or feel you
I don't want to look into your eyes
I don't want to touch you or miss you
I just want to love your memory tonight
I can't handle all this pain
All we ever do is fight anyway
Why we even tried I haven't a clue
With hearts involved there's way too much to lose
I don't want to see you or feel you
I don't want to look into your eyes
I don't want to touch you or miss you
I just want to love your memory tonight
You were something else to look at
Your intentions - they weren't all bad
You tried to make me something I wasn't
Lord knows there ain't no future in all that
I don't want to see you or feel you
I don't want to look into your eyes
I don't want to touch you or miss you
I just want to love your memory tonight
