BAREFOOT IN THE BACKWOODS
I like to ride motorcycles
Even though I don’t have one anymore
I like to feel the wheels a-spinning
It takes me back to when I played Barbies on the floor of my
Daddy’s shiny 18-wheeler
Me and him and the open road
I’d line the dollies on the dashboard
We’d all be looking forward to the places we’d go
But as soon as that big rig turned down the drive I’d be
CHORUS
Barefoot in the backwoods with my four-legged best friend
Chasing butterflies and dreaming, running with the wind
What I wouldn’t give to have that innocence again
Of that little carefree girl in a big world
I fell in love on an airplane
Clear skies with the clouds below
Twenty-five got married wanting more
We were young and looking forward to the places we’d go
But he lost his way and left me brokenhearted longing to be
CHORUS
Barefoot in the backwoods with my four-legged best friend
Chasing butterflies and dreaming, running with the wind
What I wouldn’t give to have that innocence back again
Of that little carefree girl in a big world
Now when the days get long
And life gets heavy
There’s just one place you’re gonna find me
CHORUS
Barefoot in the backwoods with my four-legged best friend
Chasing butterflies and dreaming, running with the wind
What I wouldn’t give to have that innocence back again
Of that little carefree girl in a big world
In a big world
I like to ride motorcycles
Even though I don’t have one anymore

City Country
Got my high heels on I'm ready to play
Say goodbye to combines and hay
To make a new life where concrete sways
Where nobody knows me and the gravel is paved
I hate to give up that small town feel
But I’m setting my sights on the fields of steel
No turning back I'm on my way
Taking a chance I'm ready for change
CHORUS
Heading for the city out on my own
Bright lights, new sights but I’m never alone
Coz I know where I come from
City country
Late nights, new heights, set my groove
Might trade my boots for some Jimmy Choos
But I won't forget my roots
City country
City country
Life in the city ain't like at home
But I'm working just as hard to make it on my own
Sun up, sun down it’s all the same
Except the stars are in the streets wearing fancy names
Sold my horse for a red mustang
I still like beer but I sip champagne
No turning back, I'm on my way
Taking a chance I'm ready for change
CHORUS
Heading for the city out on my own
Bright lights, new sights but I’m never alone
Coz I know where I come from
City country
Late nights, new heights, set my groove
Might trade my boots for some Jimmy Choos
But I won't forget my roots
CHORUS
Heading for the city out on my own
Bright lights, new sights but I’m never alone
Coz I know where I come from
City country
Late nights, new heights, set my groove
Might trade my boots for some Jimmy Choos
But I won't forget my roots
City Country

One More Time
I wonder how you’re doing?
I haven't heard from you all week, have you been working late?
Someone thought they saw your car outside Sarah's place
I need you to explain what's going on
Have I become second place?
CHORUS
You say that you miss me
You don't know how you'd live without me
But that's a lie
I know you'd be fine
Hold my hand, let you kiss me
I wanna believe that you love me
And we'll be alright
So I let you lie, one more time
Honey just be honest
‘Cause I want to believe, but it's been so long
Since you’ve been straight with me
I need to hear you say that you care for me at all
Do I have your heart?
Do you want me to stay?
CHORUS
You say that you miss me
You don't know how you'd live without me
But that's a lie
I know you'd be fine
Hold my hand, let you kiss me
I wanna believe that you love me
And we'll be alright
So I let you lie
Look me in the eye and say it's over
Don't just keep me waiting for you
Move along
Don't drag my heart behind you
CHORUS
You say that you miss me
You don't know how you'd live without me
But that's a lie
I know you'd be fine
Hold my hand, let you kiss me
I wanna believe that you love me
And we'll be alright
So I let you lie, one more time
One more time

IT AIN’T YOU
Did you miss that No Trespassing sign I nailed to my heart last week
Don’t you know, you silly stupid boy, that means No Vacancy
I’m done with all the drama and all of these dating games
I’m claiming my stake to a needed a break before I go insane
Yeah, I hope that’s not too hard for you to understand
But then again… you’re a man!
CHORUS
You might look like the perfect 10
Born to shop, love to watch the chick flicks
And every now and then you like to take long walks so we can talk
Yeah, there’s nothing you won’t do
I’m needing something
But it ain’t you
You’re carrying a book of lines you love to toss around
You didn’t think I knew so you threw a few
And they landed on the ground
You take me for some amateur but I know how all this works
Your charming face, it’s in my space
And I don’t need another jerk
What part of “no”, my dear, did you not understand
But then again, that’s right… you’re a man!
CHORUS
You might look like the perfect 10
Born to shop, love to watch the chick flicks
And every now and then you like to take long walks so we can talk
Yeah, there’s nothing that I like that you won’t do
I’m needing something
But it ain’t…
You might be my Mr. Right
But tonight…you’re giving me a headache
No, it’s not you. I thought it was, but no. Maybe? No.
CHORUS
You might look like the perfect 10
Born to shop, love to watch the chick flicks
And every now and then you like to take long walks so we can talk
Yeah, there’s nothing that I like that you won’t do
I’m needing something
I’m needing something
But it ain’t you
It’s not you, it’s me.
Um, I’m busy Friday and Saturday. I’m always busy.
Have you met my sister?

Play That Song
Baby listen, can you hear my heart singing?
Oh, a song for you like you sing for me
When you say you love me
I can almost feel the rhythm of our souls
When you kiss me let the music go
CHORUS
Baby play that song
The one you sing when my whole world turns and spins
Under your spell and makes me fall in love with you
Baby play that song
You’re the sweetest thing that’s ever touched my life
And oh it’s ecstasy when you sing to me
How you, you want me
I can almost feel the rhythm of our souls
When you kiss me let the music go
CHORUS
Baby play that song
The one you sing when my whole world turns and spins
Under your spell and makes me fall in love with you
The one that makes my heartbeat run
And everything that was undone turns out right
When I’m with you
Baby play that song
Year after year
I’m stronger with you near
Let me hear it one more time
CHORUS
Baby play that song
The one you sing when my whole world turns and spins
Under your spell and makes me fall in love with you
The one that makes my heartbeat run
And everything that was undone turns out right
When I’m with you
Baby play that song

I’m Letting Go
I’m done, I’m giving up
I’ve had enough of all that crazy stuff
That’s getting in the way and always bringing me down
You so knew you were playing me
Thought I didn’t see all of your deceiving ways, and your dirty games
It takes more for me to come undone
That’s enough for me
CHORUS
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
This time I know
I’m letting go
So done
This wasn’t love like I thought it was
But I wanted to believe it wasn’t just another lie
CHORUS
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
This time I know
I’m letting go
I’m a strong girl, I can stand on my own
CHORUS
I’m letting go
I’m letting go
This time I know
I’m letting go
I’m done
You’ve been playing me
This wasn’t love
I’m done
I’m done, I’m giving up
had enough of that crazy stuff
getting in the way and bringing me down
You knew you were playing me
You thought that I didn’t see
Now its time for me to go
