Bluebonnet

I've never been out West, except when I was very small
I scraped up my left knee, picked some flowers, broke the law
Those flowers, faded blue, Mother pressed into a book
She had stuffed them in her bag, no one had the chance to look
Bluebonnet, growing pretty on the Texas road
Bluebonnet, all I wanted was to take you home
All I wanted was to give her something that would make her smile
I know that she would like these: my only thought as a young child
I cried big, honest tears for she had made me understand
How much hurt and how much damage could be done by just one hand
Bluebonnet, growing pretty on the Texas road
Bluebonnet, all I wanted was to take you home
Bluebonnet, please just tell me that I'm not alone
Bluebonnet, I just wanted you for my own

I want to break your heart
It'd be so easy
Oh only if I had the strength
I know your weaknesses
Some secrets too
Don't want to have to go that length
You tell your friends that I'm a lamb
But I could crush you with one hand
Baby just watch me
I'm not an evil woman
But you make me wonder
Just what I'm capable of
I want to break your heart
Because I love you
But something tells me this ain't love
You tell your friends that I'm a lamb
But I could crush you with one hand
Baby just watch me
I want to break your heart
'Cause you deserve it
I've got a sick desire to win
I'll make your heart dissolve
Or what's left of it
You should have never let me in
You tell your friends that I'm a lamb
But I could crush you with one hand
Baby just watch me
Baby just watch me
I want to break your heart
It'd be so easy
Oh only if I had the strength

So Are You

I guess you're off the radar again
This isn't how you treat someone, not even a friend
I may be sad
But so are you
You're a detriment to your own health
It seems no one can save you not even yourself
I'm alone
But so are you
Then I get the guts to be the one to call
And you shoot me down and say to sleep it off
Who are you?
Who are you?
Nobody drowns their troubles like you do
You're running from your problems but your problem is you
I drink alone
But so do you
I guess I am the only one to blame
One of us can grow and change, the other stays the same
I'm better off
But how 'bout you?
I'm better off
But how 'bout you?

I drug my feet on parched and brown grasses
We never did go too far away
I kick myself but I couldn't have known then
Two out of four made waste of the day
High above me such a sweet, sad love song
Leaves are wanting for the wind
I could not see where we'd be before long
Now our hair is growing thin
Gutted clean, the cabinets were empty
Not sure when I last had used that screen door
I said goodbye and so did the dreamer
Sold all the memories like he sold the store
High above me like a sweet, sad love song
Leaves are wanting for the wind
I could not see where we'd be before long
Now our hair is growing thin

Lights I Know
02:53

As soon as I arrive the air is easier to breathe
And everything is as I left it
No lights to drown the stars, look how many you can see
Big city things have occupied me
Take me home to the lights I know
No one's out past 10 and my best friend's down the road
Say what you want but I
I'm glad it's where I've grown
We're counting down to nothing and the stoplights all run slow
But oh, please know I wouldn't change that
Structures that provided, they decided to tear down
And all the town gathered round to see it
Take me home to the lights I know
No one's out past 10 and my best friend's down the road
Say what you want but I
I'm glad it's where I've grown
Say what you want but I
I'm glad it's where I've grown

The Trip
02:52

The shape of your name on a paper will send me down that road
It's a trip I've taken many times to a place that I don't want to go
I swear that I'm prepared and then my vehicle will find a way to break
If it wasn't for the company I'd never find a way to stop the ache
Old back road
You're so unkind
I don't trust myself to get me out alive
Back on the highway
I'm switching gears
I think that I should find somebody else to steer
My mother told me all about the tendencies that come from Daddy's side
His father drinking from the bottle like a baby, crying all the time
I swore that didn't sound like me, I'd never have a reason to begin
Oh but now would you just look at me, swimming in a bottle of my sin
Old back road
You're so unkind
I don't trust myself to get me out alive
Back on the highway
I'm switching gears
I think that I should find somebody else to steer
I think that I should find somebody else to steer

Used to You
03:07

You drink enough for the both of us
It makes you say things that I don't think you mean
I could reach out and shake you by the shoulders
There's so much of me that you haven't seen
I will never get used to you
I could never get close enough
I will never get used to you
You will never have my heart
And my heart aches
I wish I could give my friends a reason
One good reason that I've stuck around this long
Can you defend someone who never made you happy?
Who just makes you sing sad and lonesome songs
I will never get used to you
I could never get close enough
I will never get used to you
You will never have my heart
And my heart aches
