"Best Woman Wins"

"Best Woman Wins"
(feat. Lorrie Morgan)



Who do you think you are
What do you think this is
A game you can play
Tryin' to steal him away
Well, I don't need a heartache like this

Well, don't think I don't go through hell
But heaven is what we both want
He's easy to love, but he's hard to give up
And if you think I will, well, you're wrong

The best woman wins
I will fight 'til the end
I'll lay down and die if I must
I'll beg and I'll plead
I will suffer and bleed
But he must make a choice between us

This soap opera play that we're in
Is just like you watch on t.v.
But I never thought that I'd ever get caught in it;
Starring you, him and me

In love as in war all is fair
So a fight to the finish begins
When you fight from desire
You fight fire with fire
So may the best woman win

The best woman wins
I will fight 'til the end
I'll lay down and die if I must
I'll beg and I'll plead
I will suffer and bleed
But he must make a choice between us

So may the best woman win

"Better Day"

"Better Day"


Now we don't know what heaven looks like,
But we've seen enough hell right here and right now,
But when the road is the roughest,
And the problems are the toughest,
Or when the times are the hardest,
Or that ol' sky turns the darkest,
You gotta keep the faith
Cause I believe there's a better day.
And those ol' blues?
Why they're gonna just roll right on away,
I know they are,
Listen to me!
All this blue ain't sky and sea,
Some of that blue's bound to get on me,
But the blues don't come to stay,
They'll move away
On a better day!
Troubles and woes, and misery
Ain't gonna give 'em the best of me
Lift the shades,
Fix my gaze
On a better day!
Clear the way!
Better days just up ahead,
When sorrow ain't sleeping in my bed,
And people ain't messing with my head,
There's a better way,
There's a brighter day!
Oh there's a better day,
With clearer sky,
Hope and promise on the rise,
Oh, the future, well, it's looking bright
On a better day,
Look away, look away.
Oh… ohohohoho hmmmm
There's a better day!
Oh better days just up ahead,
When sorrow ain't sleeping in my bed,
And people ain't messing with my head,
There's a better day,
There's a better day!
Oh all this blue it ain't sky and sea,
Some of that blue's gonna fall on me,
Oh, the future's looking bright,
There's a better day!
Look away, look away.

"Better Get To Livin'"

"Better Get To Livin'"


People always comin' up to me and askin'
"Dolly, what's your secret?
With all you do, your attitude
Just seems to be so good
How do you keep it?"
Well, I'm not the Dalai Lama, but I'll try
To offer up a few words of advice.

You better get to livin', givin'
Don't forget to throw in a little forgivin'
And lovin' on the way
You better get to knowin', showin'
A little bit more concerned about where you're goin'
Just a word unto the wise
You better get to livin'.

A girlfriend came to my house
Started cryin' on my shoulder Sunday evening
She was spinnin' such a sad tale
I could not believe the yarn that she was weavin'
So negative the words she had to say
I said if I had a violin I'd play.

I said you'd better get to livin', givin'
Be willing and forgivin'
Cause all healing has to start with you
You better stop whining, pining
Get your dreams in line
And then just shine, design, refine
Until they come true
And you better get to livin'.

Your life's a wreck, your house is mess
And your wardrobe way outdated
All your plans just keep on falling through
Overweight and under paid, under appreciated
I'm no guru, but I'll tell you
This I know is true.

You better get to livin', givin'
A little more thought about bein'
A little more willin' to make a better way
Don't sweat the small stuff
Keep your chin up
Just hang tough
And if it gets too rough
Fall on your knees and pray
And do that everyday
Then you'll get to livin'.

The day we're born we start to die
Don't waste one minute of this life
Get to livin'
Share your dreams and share your laughter
Make some points for the great hereafter.

Better start carin'
Better start sharin'
Better start tryin'
Better start smiling
And you better get to livin'...

"Better Part Of Life"

"Better Part Of Life"


We're all together once again
For the first time in I don't know when
We were so close once upon a time
There were five of us kids at home
Two girls, three boys and Dad and Mom
But that was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember that old swimming hole
Where we would swim so long ago
And all them possum grapes and muskedines
And do you recall the time
We all got drunk on homemade wine
That was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Life was simple for us then
If only it could be again
How I wish we could go back in time
But time moves on and nothin' lasts
Except the memories from the past
Memories from the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember how we talked as kids
Of what we'd be when we got big
And all the dreams that we held in our minds
I wanted to be a singin' star
And you all said that I'd go far
But that was in the better part
Of life we left behind
Remember all the fun we had
Back when they say times were bad
And life was good to us and things were fine
We had fun and we had love
And a mom and dad to care for us
But that was is the better part
Of life we left behind
Life was simple for us then
If only it could be again
How I wish we could go back in time
But time moves on and nothin' lasts
Except the memories from the past
Memories from the better part
Of life we left behind
Sweet memories from the better part
Of life we left behind

"Big Wind"

"Big Wind"


Big wind big wind's comin'
From daylight till dusk we've been a workin' in the dust
Pickin' cotton workin' side by side
Oh I can't forget I still remember yet the way my daddy looked at me and cried
Big wind's a comin' listen to the hummin' hurry up now be quick don't stall
You know we can't be slow take the kids and get below
If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all
I ran across the field so scared my lips was scaled
To warn my mom to storm was on its way
Now I knew I'd won the race when I'd see my mama's face
And the way she looked at me and said
Big wind's a comin'...
Oh but dad was on the cellar and by now the sky was yellow
The wind was blowin' trees were fallin'
And outside I heard him cryin' and as he lay there dyin'
It seemed I could still hear him sayin'
Big wind's a comin'...
Big wind big wind's comin'

"Blackie Kentucky"

"Blackie Kentucky"


In my hometown of Blackie Kentucky he came passin' through one dark bloomy day
And I considered myself as lucky when he told me he would take me away
And though he was older it made me difference
His promise of riches was all I could see
At last I could leave the coal mines of Kentucky
And know something better than sad poverty
Blackie Kentucky you know that I miss you
But there are lotta places in the world I'd like to see
So I must take this chance to be something more than nothin'
But I'll always hold you in my memory
But I've never registed this sociable livin'
The friends that he knows they're all strangers to me
Thousands of miles from Blackie Kentucky
In a mansion with a husband that never loved me
He won't let my family and friends come to visit
Because they are country and poor he's ashamed
Oh but I'd give my luck Lord if I could just go see them
All its chance about me is my name
Blackie Kentucky oh Lord how I miss you
If I could come back home I'd never leave you anymore
I'd like to see my poor heart work in coal mine with daddy
And mama and the kids and the friends I knew before
My world is as black as the coal in Kentucky
He won't let me leave him there's no way to win
I'll take my whole life dear God please forgive me
But I've got to get back home to Blackie once again
I'd left him a note and in the morning he'll find it
It's my last request and he care to refuse me
I told him to bury me back in Blackie Kentucky
Where my family and my friends can come in visit me
Blackie Kentucky I'm comin' home to you
But different from the way you remember me before
So make a place and I lay me down to rest and I'll sleep in your arms for evermore
I'll sleep in your arms for evermore

"Blowin' In The Wind"
(originally by Bob Dylan)
(feat. Nickel Creek)



How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

"Blue Me"
(from "Straight Talk" soundtrack)



Blue me, blue me
Blue is the color
That fits best on me
I'm blue
Just as blue as can be
Blue me, Blue me
I cry
And I die
I lie awake at night
And I question why
Must it be
I can never be free
Blue me, Blue me
My heart is heavy
But it's empty inside
No one to love me
Or to lay down beside
I'm blue
The queen of sorrow
Wears royal blue
My luck ain't changin'
Is it ever goin' to
I'm blue, Oh I'm blue
Why must I wear this robe of blue misery
Blue me, Blue me
Ooh
This sad old feeling
Is breakin' me down
No satisfaction with these blues hangin' 'round
Lord, I'm blue
Oh, I'm so blue Why can't I shake it tell me where will this end
When will I get out of this blue rut I'm in
Oh, I'm blue
Looks like the blues just took a liking to me
Blue me, Blue me Blue me, Blue me
Blue is the color that fits best on me
Ooooh, I'm blue
I'm just as blue as can be
Blue me
Blue me
