Storm Out On The Sea

As a girl I watched the sailing ships
Like white birds on the sea
Their sails were wings that rode the wind
My heart longed to be free
I saw you standing by the sea
The beach was dark as death
But your hand was warm against my face
Your kiss was my life's breath
And lovin' you's like drowning in a storm out on the sea
Put your arms around me darling
Now and rescue me
And lovin' you's like drowning and I feel so all alone
Put your arms around me
And I'll never sail alone
You never said you'd stay with me
I never tied your hands
The way some frightened women do to keep their love on land
Where they can walk dry-footed
And never fear the tide
Or the moon upon the water

Let er Rip

I can tell theres something you dont wanna tell me
Its killing you cause the words are hard to find
I know you want to break it to me gently
Well sweet baby say whats on your mind
Chorus:
Let er rip, let it fly
Come on baby, say it, do you think Im gonna cry
I aint about to bawl, and I aint gonna die
So if youre gonna say goodbye, dont take all day and night
Let er rip, let it fly
Why the drama, we dont have to drag out this situation
It wasnt you, it wasnt me, sometimes the chemistry dont ignite
There aint no rings, no mortgage, there aint any complications
Its just a hyphenated word, get it out, Im sure Ill be alright
Repeat chorus
It aint no big deal, it aint no great loss
You and I are on the same train of thought
So you dont have to tell me where to get off
Maybe I misunderstood you, if youre leaving, baby would you
Repeat chorus

Standin' By The Bedside

I was standin' by the bedside of a sister
Who was just about to cross that swellin' tide
And I asked her if she would do me a favor
And kindly take this message to the other side
Well, if you see my savior tell him that you saw me
And when you saw me I was on my way
You may meet some boyfriends who may ask about me
You tell 'em I am a comin' home someday
I was standin' by the bedside of a sister
Who was just about to cross that swellin' tide
And I asked her if she would do me a favor
And kindly take this message to the other side
Well you may have to make this journey on without me
Sooner or later, sooner or later it's a debt that must be paid
When you reach that goal that's when you'll think about me
But don't forget to tell my savior what I said
I was standin' by the bedside of a sister
Who was just about to cross that swellin' tide
And I asked her if she would do me a favor
And kindly take this message to the other side

Let em Fly

Let him fly - dixie chicks
Aint no talkin to this man
Aint no pretty other side
Aint no way to understand the stupid words of pride
It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that
Im gonna let him fly - mmm
Things can move at such a pace
The second hand just waved good-bye
You know the light has left his face
But you cant recall just where or why
So there was reallly nothing to it
I just went and cut right through it
I said Im gonna let him fly
Oh yea
Theres no mercy in a live wire
No rest at all in freedom
Choices we are given
Its no choice at all
The proof is in the fire
You touch before it moves away - yeah

The Price I Pay

They tell me I'm the talk of the town
I've been staying home alone every night
It's nobody's business where I'm bound
As if to be alone and lonely just ain't right
On a old freight train moving down the line
I'm counting each day every minute that you're away
I've never been the stay at home kind
But for you it's just the price that I pay
It's just the price I pay for loving you
The price I pay for needing you so much
The price I pay for needing you
And putting all this time between us
I knew I was in trouble when we met
Dark clouds all around me I couldn't find the light
These hard times ain't hard to forget
Now I believe in love at first sight
I'm putting my heart and soul on the line
I know your love is with me every day
Your picture always there on my mind
But for you it's just the price that I pay

Wide Open Spaces

Who doesnt know what Im talking about
Whos never left home, whos never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone
Many precede and many will follow
A young girls dream no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasnt yet guessed
Chorus:
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She travelled this road as a child
Wide eyed and grinning, she never tired
But now she wont be coming back with the rest
If these are lifes lessons, shell take this test
Repeat chorus
She knows the high stakes
As her folks drive away, her dad yells, check the oil!

Give It Up Or Let Me Go

Well I told you pretty baby
Such a long time ago
If I found you with another
Well, Id walk right out your door
Woh, you might call me crazy
Theres one thing you should know
Well, if you want me to love you, got to
Give it up or let me go
I know its useless to be jealous
I wouldnt tie you if I tried
When I think youre messin around my back
It sure brings a pain I just cant hide
Oh baby, Ive been true to you
And if I can make that sacrifice
Honey you can do it too
Well, you come home drunk and nasty
You wont tell me where youve been
Just when things are nice and sweet
Youre going back out again
Why do you want to mess up a good thing?

I'm Falling Again

No mistaking this time
No changing my mind
No walking away
Then begging to stay
No letting you go
Cause this time my heart knows
We're destined to win
I'm falling again
I'm falling again
Right back where I've been
Trading heartbreak for love that I've missed
It's a gamble and I'll take the risk
I should've known from the start
What you'd do to my heart
We're destined to win
I'm falling again
No waiting to see
If it's right for me
No doubting your eyes
No watching you cry

Thunderheads

The kids are playing in the sand
And my hair is nearly dry
Supper's on the table and there's promise in the sky
You're out there on your ginger mare
You're not praying, so I do
Not so much a prayer for rain
But a desperate prayer for you
Thunderheads blow across the mesa
Like a heartless lover's lie
Thunderheads across the mountains
As another dream goes by
They glow like clouds from heaven
But the devil has to have his way
Thunderheads will bring you to your knees
And make you pray for a rainy day
I know you can't admit it
That you've lost and nature's won
That thunderheads will blow away
Across the dying sun
So don't try to tell me darling
