Praying For Rain

I tried to do my part
with that stone you call a heart
No wildfire could melt your ice away
There’s something deep inside
Like a well that just run dry
In the middle of an August summer day
You’d walk across my soul
Until the ages roll
Wonder if I ever crossed your mind
But the smoking of the gun
And into my arms you’d run
Wake up to love you left so far behind
Pre chorus Hook:
Desert flower
Cracking earth
Tell me what my a/true love is worth
Would you throw all you care for down the drain
You’re all I want to see
But there’s nothing there for/of me
Loving you is just like praying for rain
The tolling of your bell
Echoes all the way from hell
Makes a woman feel like hope walked out door
Everywhere I turn
I keep feeling your eyes burn
Even though you can’t see me anymore
The night you left for good
I did the only thing I could
With your last breath I cried and cried and cried
The blood rolled down my hands
And disappeared into the sand
The heavens hollered as I watched you die
Desert flower
Cracking earth
Tell me what my a/true love is worth
Would you throw all you care for down the drain
You’re all I want to see
But there’s nothing there for/of me
Loving you is just like praying for rain
When love turns to rust
We all do what we must
Some stick around and smile through all the pain
I went into town
Bought a gun and shot you down
Got tired of praying and never seeing rain
Desert flower
Cracking earth
Tell me what a love is worth
Would you throw all you care for down the drain
You’re all I want to see
But there’s nothing there for me
Loving you is just like praying for rain

High In The Valley

The closest that I’ve ever been to god
Is the Bible in a nightstand
At an old roadside motel
It’s hard to see the light
when you’re feeling like a penny
At the bottom of a dried up well
I’d wish upon a star in this drag of a city
But I never see the sky
I’ve never been a good girl
No, but I’m pretty good at always getting by
This is the life
from the other side of the Hollywood sign
This is the life
from the other side
I’m getting high in the valley
but I’m low on hope
I think I see heaven through the clouds of smoke
Everybody said this town was paved with sin
Tried to find the straight and narrow but I just can’t win
So amen
I’m getting high in the valley again
I’d ride off into the sunset
But I know I can’t afford the ticket or the gas
ain’t it funny how you start to love the dirt
when you know where you could find the grass
This is the life
From the other side of the Hollywood sign
This is the life
From the other side
I’m getting HIGH in the valley
but I’m low on hope
I think I see heaven through the clouds of smoke
Everybody said this town was paved in sin
Tried to find the straight and narrow but I just can’t win
So amen
I’m getting high in the valley again
This is the life
From the other side of the Hollywood sign
This is the life
From the other side
I’m getting HIGH in the valley
but I’m low on hope
I think I see heaven through the clouds of smoke
Everybody said this town was paved in sin
Tried to find the straight and narrow but I just can’t win
So amen
I’m getting high in the valley again

Even My Roses Are Blue

The Sky is dark above me
Never thought you’d treat me bad
And on the radio
Every song I hear is sad
I thought you really loved me
But i guess i never knew
My hearts in a million pieces
And even my roses are blue
Even my roses are blue
When you were in my life
I thought I had it all
I really had no clue
Just how many tears could fall
I thought you were someone else
But in the end I found out who
My hearts in a million pieces
And even my roses are blue
Even my roses are blue
I’m singing only the lonely
I’m so lonesome I could cry
If only someone had told me
I wouldn’t have wasted so much time
I wanted you to stand by me boy
But now it’s your turn to cry
You wish I’d beg you to stay now
That’ll be the day I die
Looking out and I’m looking up now
At least my mind is not on you
I guess I learned the hard way
Things in love I shouldn’t do
I may not be over you yet
But I’ll find somebody new
My hearts in a million pieces
And even my roses are blue
Still my hearts in a million pieces
And even my roses are blue
even my roses are blue
even my roses are blue
even my roses are blue

Outsider
03:07

Always been a little different
Even felt it as a kid
Although i was pretty happy
was never sure just where i fit
And my life has been so lucky
Some say i got it all
Got a real good man who loves me
Got some family i could call
But then there’s days that just pass by
I don’t feel much and I don’t know why
I feel like an outsider
I try to forget every reminder
That something’s missing from this half full heart
Guess i knew from the start
Nobody gets to have it all
But I’ll die trying
Now I’m too weird to be called normal
Too loud to be cool
Half my friends are having babies
The other half are drunken fools
And I’m just stuck here on the outside
Looking at my life
Trying to find a little meaning
Trying to fit the pieces right
And he says baby don't you cry
But even when I dry my eyes
I feel like an outsider
I try to forget every reminder
That somethings missing from this half full heart
Guess I knew from the start
Nobody gets to have it all but I’ll die trying
I’m like a stranger to my friends
I just feel alone with them
But I don’t wanna
Don’t know what lifes got round the bend
But don’t wanna be just like a fish
out of its water
Or feel like an outsider
I try to forget every reminder
I feel like an outsider
I try to forget every reminder
That somethings missing from this half full heart
Guess I knew from the start
Nobody gets to have it all but I’ll die trying

Things Take Time
04:03

I had these dreams
when I was 10 years old
that I’d be living on a hill in California
at seventeen
I thought that all these things
that I was wishing for were right around the corner
never stopped to read the warning signs,
I only ever saw my name in lights
but
LIFE IS SUCH A MYSTERY
THE ENDING WE CAN’T GUESS
SOME CAN ONLY TAKE SO MANY NO’S
BEFORE THEY GET TO HEAR THAT YES
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE AND A TEST
I’VE BEEN LOSING FOR SO LONG
AND WATCHING OTHERS PASS ME BY
TOOK ME ALL THIS TIME
TO FIGURE OUT
THAT ALL THESE THINGS TAKE TIME
NOTHING EVER HAPPENED OVERNIGHT
DARLING, THESE THINGS TAKE TIME
I close my eyes and think about the past
and all the mountains and the valleys in between
now I see both sides of the fence have grass,
don’t matter if they’re different shades of green
success ain’t always having what you want
it’s being who you are, not who you’re not
LIFE IS SUCH A MYSTERY
THE ENDING WE CAN’T GUESS
SOME CAN ONLY TAKE SO MANY NO’S
BEFORE THEY GET TO HEAR THAT YES
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE AND A TEST
I’VE BEEN LOSING FOR SO LONG
AND WATCHING OTHERS PASS ME BY
TOOK ME ALL THIS TIME
TO FIGURE OUT
THAT ALL THESE THINGS TAKE TIME
NOTHING EVER HAPPENED OVERNIGHT
DARLING, THESE THINGS TAKE TIME
it may not work out the first time
or the 2nd time or the 100th time after that
do your best to keep that train on the tracks
LIFE IS SUCH A MYSTERY
THE ENDING WE CAN’T GUESS
SOME CAN ONLY TAKE SO MANY NO’S
BEFORE THEY GET TO HEAR THAT YES
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE AND A TEST
I’VE BEEN LOSING FOR SO LONG
AND WATCHING OTHERS PASS ME BY
TOOK ME ALL THIS TIME
TO FIGURE OUT
THAT ALL THESE THINGS TAKE TIME
NOTHING EVER HAPPENED OVERNIGHT
DARLING, THESE THINGS TAKE TIME
