Move Free 03:56
lyrics
These old sheets look dirty even when they're clean I'm getting used to saying just what I mean I'm buying time at a table and space for my dreams And I love the way you look in those jeans That's a bold thing to say and it's not quite my style I'm quick to describe all the heartaches and trials But I'm hoping that you're gonna stay for awhile Cause I love the way you smile So come hard, come strong, move fast and move free There's a whole lotta world I'm aching to see I've got places to get to and people to meet And I hope you'll be there with me I've got leather on my soles and a feather on my hat I been cutting the clutter, been cutting the fat Trying to turn my good luck into craft And I love the way you laugh It ain't a miracle baby, it's grit and it's gall It's about seeing the window instead of the wall It's about taking the chance and making the call And getting up each time you fall So come hard, come strong, move fast and move free There's a whole lotta world I'm aching to see I've got places to get to and people to meet And I hope you'll be there with me.

Dust Still on My Boots 03:34
lyrics
I watched the sunset from my window in the sky Flying farther away from Telluride Spent my solstice trying to get back home to you I landed in Manhattan with dust still on my boots Well the weather was perfect Yeah the weather was so fine Saw the snow on the mountains Felt the heat of summertime Watched a waterfall from across a valley wide And laid down on the ground to be restored by that starry night I watched the sunset from my window in the sky Flying farther away from Telluride Spent my solstice trying to get back home to you I landed in Manhattan with dust still on my boots Well the band played on And blew my soul away Set my feet a-dancin In the most peculiar way And it crossed my mind That maybe I should stay But I had to come home So we could go back some day Well babe you know I love my city life And if you asked me now to leave it I'd decline But I'm making plans for us somewhere down the line Gonna get to Colorado Gonna go to Telluride We'll watch the sunset from that little mountain town See the aspen trees and the waterfall tumbling down Spend our solstice getting closer to the truth We'll get back to Manhattan, Wipe the dust off of our boots Yeah, we'll get back to Manhattan, Wipe the dust off of our boots.

Please Don't Take Me to Kentucky 03:36
lyrics
Please don't take me to Kentucky I haven't been there since I was a child When I saw my daddy sitting in the jailhouse He waved at me and I stood there and smiled My ma told me he's working in Kentucky Honey, that's why daddy's not around He'll be home soon, but for now we go and visit And remember, dear to keep our voices down Too young to know the difference Too sweet to think of crime Too pure to know my daddy Was really serving time Too late to make it better It's left a load here on my mind So I'd rather not pass that old state line Please don't take me to Kentucky I piece this thing together all the time I've got memories that send my head a-reelin' As I separate what happened from the lie Too young to know the difference Too sweet to think of crime Too pure to know my daddy Was really serving time Too late to make it better It's left a load here on my mind So I'd rather not pass that old state line Please don't take me to Kentucky It's not a place I wanna talk about So if you're trying to drive us through Kentucky I'm begging you please take another route I'm begging you please find another route.

When You Wake 05:18
lyrics
I'm no lantern in the dark I'm a landscape bleak and stark I will not say yes I'll take your hands and place them on my dress I'm no flower in a vase I am both the leather and the lace I will not say no And I'll only go the way I want to go But I want to be your goddess when you wake Want to be the one to make you stop and pray And I want to be your goddess in the sun The one you turn to when the day's begun I'm no porcelain doll I'm the slightest southern drawl I cannot say yes And I'll keep my hand hid under my vest I'm no daddy's girl I am both the oyster and the pearl I cannot say please I'll hold you close and help you breath And I want to be your goddess when you wake Want to be the one to make you stop and pray And I want to be your goddess in the sun The one you turn to when the day's begun There's a light on in the kitchen And you don't know what you're missing Cause you keep your head all buried in your plans I was once told love means walking hand in hand And I want to be your goddess when you wake Want to be the one to make you stop and pray And I want to be your goddess when you wake Want to be the one you can't afford to break.

Good Luck and Goodbye 03:20
lyrics
Another late Tuesday night Hiding after the stage lights At a bar in the east I should be asleep But I'm feeling so lonesome tonight There's a woman I've seen here before I know she's seen me too She's wanton and she's old I'm sitting all alone Last week I was sitting with you You made no promise I made no reply They don't make a difference The things I left unsaid I wish you good luck and goodbye All the men try to lock eyes with mine They're thinking I might be the kind If I could I would glare But I hide behind my hair And take another glance at the time In defiance I ate a good meal My will defeating how I feel I've got no appetite for surrender or spite Deprivation is no way to heal You made no promise I made no reply They don't make a difference The things I left unsaid I wish you good luck and goodbye Did they make a difference The things I left unsaid I guess I'm just too scared to fight.

Silhouettes and Sunsets 03:17
lyrics
Oh I left before I knew that I was leaving Packed my bags before I knew where I would go Won't take it back cause it started up my healing And led me to see the through line in my road Can you hear my verses clear across the country? Through the snowstorm and the sunshine and the rain As I travel looking for my next adventure And you get caught up in your bookshelves once again How do your days pass? Do they flow together seamless as a song? Or are they patched and stitched Some sharp and others faded Like a quilt who knows that everything belongs Call me coward, call me selfish, call me stupid I've got feelings that I can't afford to fight I feel your silent stroke of turning back the pages As my candle burns at both ends through the night And you've got my love all tied up in your bedroom Oh I've told you once and I'll tell you again I'm not scared, I'm just saving up my body So I'll be clean when I can finally let you in Oh I left before I knew that I was leaving Packed my bags before I knew where I would go Won't take it back cause it started up my healing And led me to see the through line in my road Can you hear my verses clear across the country? Through the snowstorm and the sunshine and the rain As I travel looking for my next adventure And you get caught up in your bookshelves once again How do your days pass? Do they flow together seamless as a song? Or are they patched and stitched Some sharp and others faded Like a quilt who knows that everything belongs There's so much that I don't know about your life dear The things you say and who you say them to Hope you reserve some of your words just for the times when You've got silhouettes and sunsets in your view Hope you reserve some of your words just for the times when You've got silhouettes and sunsets in your view.
