"Jesus & Hairspray"

"Jesus & Hairspray"


Girl, it's quick in this town
There's a couple things you need
To get you through the good days
All the bad days, and in between
For a broken heart, a broken nail
A broken bank account
There's a perfect combination
That always works it out

Takes a little bit of Jesus
It takes a whole lotta hairspray
To keep the pieces of this crazy life
Perfectly in place
You might think you're a tough girl
But tough ain't enough, girl
You need two things holdin' down the fort
When the storm blows your way
Jesus and hairspray

Keep it all together
When everything goes wrong
From double shifts and whiny kids
To the mother-in-laws
Oh, the Bible says that there's temptation
There's a way out, you can bet
So we say a little prayer
And we pull out the Aquanet

Takes a little bit of Jesus
Takes a whole lotta hairspray
To keep the pieces of this crazy life
Perfectly in place
You might think you're a tough girl
But tough ain't enough, girl
You need two things holdin' down the fort
When the storm blows your way
Jesus and hairspray

The higher the hair
Closer to heaven
I know the trials are gonna come
Just let 'em

Takes a little bit of Jesus
It takes a whole lotta hairspray
To keep the pieces of this crazy life
Perfectly in place
You might think you're a tough girl
But tough ain't enough, girl
You need two things holdin' down the fort
When the storm blows your way
Jesus and hairspray
Jesus and hairspray

"Lay Lady Lay"

"Lay Lady Lay"


Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and I'll make them shine
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed

Stay, lady, stay, stay with this girl awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make me smile
Her clothes are dirty but my hands are clean
And you're the best thing that I've ever seen
Stay, lady, stay, stay with this girl awhile

Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When I'm standing in front of you

Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When I'm standing in front of you

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your girl awhile
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead

"Lonely Whiskey"

"Lonely Whiskey"


Every bottle starts out full
Never stays that way for long
No Jack or gin
Has ever been
In any bar alone

There's no such thing as lonely whiskey
Someone always wants a sip
It always leaves a shelf so quickly
For broken hearts and thirsty lips
It gets in touch with strangers' memories
Some may start the night off single
There's no such thing as lonely whiskey
As long as there are lonely people

It's company for misery
And misery ain't in short supply
From Kentucky's best to all the rest
They're all gettin' lucky tonight

There's no such thing as lonely whiskey
Someone always wants a sip
It always leaves a shelf so quickly
For broken hearts and thirsty lips
It gets in touch with strangers' memories
Some may start the night out single
There's no such thing as lonely whiskey
As long as there are lonely people
There's no such thing as lonely whiskey
As long as there are lonely people

"Making Love For The First Time"

"Making Love For The First Time"


As the time grows near, I feel so afraid
So hold me dear, show me the way
Has the fear in my mind
'Bout making love for the first time

'Cause for the first time I feel like a woman
And the feeling is so real
And for the first time I know love's truly meant
Making love for the first time

Now you're lying here almost sleep
You reach out to touch me
And call my name, soft and sweet
I wanna give you so much of me

'Cause for the first time I feel like a woman
And the feeling is so real
And for the first time I know love's truly meant
Making love for the first time
Making love for the first time

"Maybe Not Tonight"

"Maybe Not Tonight"


You don't touch me anymore
You never say the words I love you
You just sit behind your paper
Your silence cuts me like a razor
I'm gonna leave you...maybe someday soon
When I can give up this fight
But maybe not tonight.

We don't talk much anymore
Not the same way we used to
Whenever I reach out to hold you
You turn away...what am I supposed to do
I'm gonna say goodbye
When the moment's right
Like an eagle I will fly
But maybe not tonight.

[Chorus:]
Can you just hold me
In your arms so deep
Wanna feel you breathing on my skin
We fell out of love
We can fall back in.

You never look at me that way
(So many times I've longed to say)
You used to brush the hair back from my face
(Oh God, how I miss those days...)
You used to make me feel like someone
(Tell me, where did we go wrong)
You were my best friend, my one and only love
(You're still the only one)

Just as I'm leaving you
You walk in the room
I see the flicker in your eyes
We say maybe not tonight.

[Chorus]

You don't touch me anymore
You never say the words I love you
I love you.

"My Favorite Things"

"My Favorite Things"


Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

"My Foolish Heart"

"My Foolish Heart"


The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care my foolish heart

There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to see, how many names such as this
For they both have the very same sensation
When you're locked in the magic of a kiss

Her lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start

For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
My foolish heart

"My Heart"

"My Heart"


You know, I'm not one to crawl in a shell
But it was one of those days I wasn't sure of myself
It was nothin' too serious just a curious mood
This old world seems so wrong but then right on cue

You came home a little bit early
Told me, "Darling', don't worry"
Nothin' could ever tear us apart

You took me out for a little romancin'
Sweet songs and moonlight dancin'
Baby, you musta been readin' my heart

I remember when love was nothin' we planned
We'd get lost in the moment in our own wonderland
We did what we dared, now we do what we must
Just when I started missin' the way it once was

You came home a little bit early
Told me, darlin', don't worry
Nothin' could ever tear us apart

You took me out for a little romancin'
Sweet songs and moonlight dancin'
Baby, you musta been readin' my heart

You always catch me when I'm fallin'
You musta heard the sound of my heart callin'

'Cause you came home a little bit early
Told me, "Darlin' don't worry"
Nothin' could ever tear us apart

You took me out for a little romancin'
Sweet songs and moonlight dancin'
Baby, you musta been readin' my
Baby, you musta been readin' my
Baby, you musta been readin' my heart

"My Night To Howl"

"My Night To Howl"


There's a good time moon on the rise tonight
I can hear the call of the city lights
There's a time to work,and a time to play
I've worked all I'm gonna work today
Ain't no stopping me now
It's my night to howl

This is my night to set the town a-rocking on it's heels
This is my night to go crazy just to see how it feels
I'm gonna dress up,gonna let my hair down
Like a wild cat on the prowl
This is my,my,my night to howl

Turn me loose,I'm a dancing fool
That band's got a bass drum that kicks like a country mule
When the town shuts down and it's time to go
I'm gonna take this party home
Ain't no stopping me now
It's my night to howl

This is my night to set the town a-rocking on it's heels
This is my night to go crazy just to see how it feels
I'm gonna dress up,gonna let my hair down
Like a wild cat on the prowl
This is my,my,my night to howl

This is my night to set the town a-rocking on it's heels
This is my night to go crazy just to see how it feels
I'm gonna dress up,gonna let my hair down
Like a wild cat on the prowl
This is my,my,my night to howl

"Never Been Good At Letting Go"

"Never Been Good At Letting Go"


I held on to that last cigarette
Like it was some kind of life line
Rolled it back and forth between my fingers
Let it hang from my lips like a kiss that lingers
I guess all my favorite habits die hard
And your love is no exception
It hangs by a thread from a window in my heart
I let it lay there lifeless like a pillow in my arms, cause...

[Chorus:]
I've never been good at letting go
Never walked away from anything that I thought I could hold
All I've let slip through my hands
I left scratches on
Cause I've never been good at letting go

When I was a kid all the birds with broken wings
Seemed to find their way to my house
And I could feed 'em through a straw
Or patch 'em up with a sling
My dad had to be the one to set them free, cause...

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
That's how it was when I tuned you loose
Your love caught freedom's wind
Away you flew

[Chorus]

All I've let slip through my hands
I've left scratches on
I've never been good at letting go
