Joey was a fighter
And he fought to dream
He said someday he would have a fancy car
And he'd leave Tennessee

I was just a shy wallflower
Just a wide eyed teenage girl
But maybe intrigue or just insanity
Made me want to enter Joey's world

His touch made me feel beautiful
So much passion I lost my head

He was just like James Dean in Tennessee
He was a movie star
A young girl's dream
From what I hear he could never leave
But to me he'll always be
James Dean in Tennessee

He tried to smoke them cigarettes
And always made me laugh
He said I'd be his pick-up truck queen
And someday I'd be his better half

I left there a year ago
And I heard the rebel went bad
That he had just served time for a minor crime
And he was livin' with his old man

He was just like James Dean in Tennessee
He was a movie star
A young girl's dream
From what I hear he could never leave
But to me he'll always be
James Dean in Tennessee

I wonder what 'ol Joey thinks
When he hears me singing on the radio
Will he ever know that I loved him so
Sometimes we're meant to stay
Sometimes we're meant to go

He was just like James Dean in Tennessee
He was a movie star
A young girl's dream
From what I hear he could never leave
But to me he'll always be
James Dean in Tennessee.  (Back to Top)
 

You Go First (Back to Top)

Dancing on the tightrope, wearing it thin
Instead of closing our eyes and jumping in

Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
You go first

You're dodging the moon and I'm playing it safe
Look what we're not doing, oh boy, what a waste
And what could be worse than never saying it at all
Is never knowing the feeling, never feeling the fall

What's it gonna take to get us both there
Can't you see what I'm suggesting, it's a double dare

Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
You go first

You start if you have the nerve
I'll trust my heart, but you go first

Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
Do you want to kiss
You go first.  (Back to Top)
 
 
 

When Gentry Plays Guitar  (Back to Top)

Now  (Back to Top)

Every day I prayed and
Every night I searched in
Every stranger’s eyes
For some kind of sign

Me and my heart wishin’ in the dark
Tryin’ to believe in a sky full of stars
I was waiting for you 
A million empty days, too much time and space
Every tear I cried, every lonely night 
I was waiting for you

Now here you are
And my world is, my world is so beautiful
Now here you are
And my life is, and my life is so wonderful
Now

The past seems like a dream
Just vacancy
How did I exist before our first kiss
Oh I feel so lucky because I know you
Love me
And no one ever has, like no one ever has

Me and my heart wishin’ in the dark
Tryin’ to believe in a sky full of stars
I was waiting for you
All those empty days, all the time and space
Every tear I cried, every lonely night
I was waiting for you

The past seems like a dream
Just vacancy
How did I exist before our first kiss
Oh I feel so lucky because I know you
Love me
And no one ever has, like no one ever has

The past seems like a dream
Just vacancy
How did I exist before our first kiss
Oh I feel so lucky because I know you
Love me
And no one ever has, like no one ever has.  (Back to Top)

The Riverside (Back to Top)

It was too cold to swim so we just laid there
On the bank 'til the break of day
Though we never went in the water
We were swept away
And the river rolled
And the night got cold
But you held me close
And you warmed my soul
We spent all night down by the riverside

Wonderin' how it happened so fast
And it sure did take us by surprise
When that mornin' sun came up at last

It was too cold to swim so we just laid there
On the bank 'til the break of day
Though we never went in the water
We were swept away

And the river rolled
And the night got cold
But you held me close
And you warmed my soul

And the river rolled
And the night got cold
But you held me close
And you warmed my soul

We spent all night down by the riverside
It was too cold to swim so we just laid there
On the bank 'til the break of day
Though we never went in the water
We were swept away

And the river rolled
And the night got cold
But you held me close
And you warmed my soul

And the river rolled
And the night got cold
But you held me close
And you warmed my soul

We spent all night down by the riverside. (Back to Top)
 

Whatever (Back to Top)

You say yes, you say no
You say come, you say go
You change just like the weather
First you're up, then you're down
Say you can't hang around
Then you promise me forever
Whatever

Save your breath, I'm tuning you out
Nothing I need to hear gonna plug up my ears
And sing real loud
la, la, la, la, la, la
Baby talk if you want, I don't care anymore
I'm past the breaking point
So I'm blowing this joint, yeah, I'm out the door
I used to take it all so personally
Now it sounds the same to me

You say yes, you say no
You say come, you say go
You change just like the weather
First you're up, then you're down
Say you can't hang around
Then you promise me forever
Whatever

I used to take it all so personally
Now it sounds the same to me
You say yes, you say no
You say come, you say go
You change just like the weather
First you're up, then you're down
Say you can't hang around
Then you promise me forever
Whatever.  (Back to Top)
 

Unbreakable Heart   (Back to Top)

In my blue world, you shone like Heaven's fire
And left me cryin' in the dark
How could anyone be so hard
Did you think I had an unbreakable heart

I suppose I should know
Sometimes love just comes and goes
But I believed, foolish me
We'd go on and on

One day, someone will come to you
And rock you tightly in her arms
Please remember this, when you drop your guard
Nobody has an unbreakable heart

From an angel's wings to a fallen star
God makes everything but unbreakable hearts.   (Back to Top)
 

Hungry Love (Back to Top)

Her daddy he left with a new barmaid
Mama's in town cause she loves to play
Marylou she's all alone with an old stray dog
That she loves to hug
Hungry love

To get away from it all she puts her headphones on
And turns the music way up loud
The first boy who comes along
And pays her any mind at all
Will be the only love she's ever found
It's in her blood
Hungry love

Marylou turned seventeen
With a baby bouncing on her knee
Her sweetheart left in a pick-up truck
So she did just what her mama had done
Hungry love

She spent her nights out in the bars
While her baby sat and watched the stars
With an old rag doll she loved so much
Growing up too fast, too tough
Hungry love

To get away from it all she puts her headphones on
And turns the music way up loud
The first boy who comes along
And pays her any mind at all
Will be the only love she's ever found
It's in her blood
Hungry love
It's in her blood
Hungry love
Back in the woods in a shotgun shack
Right above the railroad tracks. (Back to Top)
 
 

There's More To Me Than You    (Back to Top)

Oooh oooh oooh
There's more to me then you
Oooh oooh
Don't underestimate what I can do
Well I'm alright,it's ok
I know I'll make it through
Cause there's more to me then you

I'm not sayin' I'm battered and bruised
But I might as well be with the words you use
I believe in myself and that makes me stronger
Things change, so have I
I'm gonna make hay while the sun still shines
You can clip my wings, I'm still gonna fly
I'm on my own and I'm on my way
And keep telling myself

Oooh oooh oooh
There's more to me then you
Oooh oooh
Don't underestimate what I can do
Well I'm alright, it's ok
I know I'll make it through
Cause there's more to me then you

There was always something that meant more to you them me
And I'm just sorry it's taken this for you to see

Oooh oooh oooh

Well I'm alright, it's ok

Heart Shaped World   (Back to Top)

This ain't the planet I've been living on
It don't circle round the sun
Ever since the day you came along
Everything I do revolves around you
You're my only one

'Cause I'm waking up to love; I'm crossing new frontiers
Living in a heart shaped world
And I'm starting to see that we could stay forever here
Living in a heart shaped world

Now everybody knows the earth is round
Chris Columbus showed us that
Call me crazy but I think I've found
A reason to believe, maybe history
Should review the facts

Now I'm waking up to love; I'm crossing new frontiers
Living in a heart shaped world
I'm starting to see that we could stay forever here
Living in a heart shaped world

I've heard that love can turn your world around
But you have changed the shape of my world somehow
Everything I do revolves around you
Now I'm waking up to love; I'm crossing new frontiers
Living in a heart shaped world
And I'm starting to see that we could stay forever here
Living in a heart shaped world. (Back to Top)
 

I'll Take Your Heart   (Back to Top)

Movin' up where you never been

Yeah, I'm gonna take you straight to the top

I just wanna be the one who turns you on
Yeah, I'm gonna take you straight to the top

I Do Now (Back to Top)

Where in the world did you come from
Seems like I looked up and there you were
Didn't think about it then, but when I look back I believe now
That miracles do occur...

'Cause I can reach up and touch any star in the sky
Put my arms 'round the moon if I try
Never thought I could feel so much love in my life
No, I never thought I'd know how...but I do now

Is this a dream or are you real
I'm trying hard not to lose my cool
But when you're kissing me
I just get so lost in the moment
I hope I'm not acting like some kind of fool

'Cause I can reach up and touch any star in the sky
Put my arms 'round the moon if I try
Never thought I could feel so much love in my life
No, I never thought I'd know how...but I do now

Never had no one to miss me
Never had no one who kissed me like you
Never had no one who loved me like you

I can reach up and touch any star in the sky
Put my arms 'round the moon if I try
Never thought I could feel so much love in my life
No, I never thought I'd know how...but I do now

'Cause I can reach up and touch any star in the sky
Put my arms 'round the moon if I try
Never thought I could feel so much love in my life
No, I never thought I'd know how...but I do now. (Back to Top)
 

I've Been Waiting For You   (Back to Top)

They say Montana has a real big sky
And the Grand Canyon is deep and wide
There's a whole lot of livin' that I wanna do
But I'd rather see the world from your point of view

I didn't go to Memphis to see the king
Or ride the Mississippi down to New Orleans
I could've found someone to give my love to
But I've been waiting for you

I've got a little money stashed away
Just sittin' on ready for a rainy day
Anticipating escaping with you
Doin' all the crazy things that I didn't do

I didn't go to Memphis to see the king
Or ride the Mississippi down to New Orleans
I could've found someone to give my love to
But I've been waiting for you

Oh, no I didn't wanna settle for
Just settlin' down
I was lookin' for the right one, baby
And that's what I've found

I didn't go to Memphis to see the king
Or ride the Mississippi down to New Orleans
I could've found someone to give my love to
But I've been waiting for you

I've been waiting for you. (Back to Top)
 
 

Ruby Shoes (Back to Top)

The moon cast a shadow
On my bedroom wall
One silhouette not two
Nothing about this
Is familiar at all
Guess it's all what you're used to
I never pictured myself in this frame of mind
Maybe things will be different
When I open my eyes

But my name ain't Dorothy
These ain't ruby shoes
I can't click my heels anytime I choose
And fly away
That ain't a tornado
Blowing out that door
That's the sound of him leaving
'Cause he don't love me anymore
I'll just walk to the floor
Oh, but I sure could use
Some of those ruby shoes

Wish I could wave a wand
Liked he waved goodbye
And change the lock on my heart
This is gonna drown me
One tear at a time
If I don't stop it before it starts
Just sitting here wishing
Won't get it done
I know there's a road outta here
But I don't know which one

But my name ain't Dorothy
These ain't ruby shoes
I can't click my heels anytime I choose
And fly away
That ain't a tornado
Blowing out that door
That's the sound of him leaving
'Cause he don't love me anymore
I'll just walk to the floor
Oh, but I sure could use
Some of those ruby shoes

Sure could use
Sure could use
Some of those ruby shoes. (Back to Top)
 
 

I Will Be There For You   (Back to Top)

When I lost faith
You believed in me
When I stumbled
You were right there
For every act of love you've done
I owe you one

There were hard times
I know I survived
Just because you stayed by my side
With all I have, with all I am
I promise you all my life

Whenever the road is too long
Whenever the wind is too strong
Wherever the journey may lead to
I will be there for you
I will be there for you

Through sorrow
Or the darkest night
When there's heartache
Deep down inside
Just like a prayer, you will be there
And I promise you all my life

Whenever the road is too long
Whenever the wind is too strong
Wherever the journey may lead to
I will be there for you
I will be there for you

Whenever the road is too long
Whenever the wind is too strong
Wherever the journey may lead to
I will be there for you
I will be there for you

I'll always be there. (Back to Top)
 
 

Who I Am (Back to Top)
If I live to be a hundred
And never see the seven wonders
That'll be all right
If I don't make it to the big leagues
If I never win a Grammy
I'm gonna be just fine
'Cause I know exactly who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

So when I make big mistake
When I fall flat on my face
I know I'll be all right
Should my tender heart be broken
I will cry those teardrops knowin'
I will be just fine
'Cause nothin' changes who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

I'm a saint and I'm a sinner
I'm a loser, I'm a winner
I'm am steady and unstable
I am young but I'm able

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends who love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am

I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy

Every Time    (Back to Top)
I laid the blanket there on the shoreline
And saw the water shine with the moon
What kind of fool would fail to notice
The best thing shining was you

Oh, I laughed kinda nervous
I felt you move closer
And felt the world unwind
Once was a stranger, not quite a lover
But steadily crossing the line

Carry me far away
Don't hold back; I won't break
Leave the ghosts behind
All I know, wrong or right
Just the thought of this night
Will get me every time
Every time

Well, the voice in my head said
"What are you doing?"
I thought not listening to you
You see I'm taking a chance
I'm thinking about flying over the blue

And it's crazy to be this out of practice
And have it all come so naturally
Don't you love knocking logic right off its axis
And watch it float far out to sea

Carry me far away
Don't hold back; I won't break
Leave the ghosts behind
All I know, wrong or right
Just the thought of this night
Will get me every time
Every time
Every time
Every time
Every time

So now here I am reading my fortune
In the winding lines of your hand
Oh, and I see a lost unwanted orphan
Head right for the promised land

Carry me far away
I won't
I won't break
Oh
Carry me far away
Don't hold back; I won't break
Leave the ghosts behind
All I know, wrong or right
Just the thought of this night 
Will get me every time
Will get me every time
Every time. (Back to Top)
 
 

Now I Know (Back to Top)
Boy, I tried to write a letter
I just need to make things better
And I'm praying that you'll let me work this out
I tried to call you on your phone
And it seems you're not at home
This is something that we have to talk about
Here I am finally face to face
Here's what I'm trying to say

What was I thinking baby?
I should've seen the writing on the wall
Never thought you'd ever leave me
Now I know
What were you trying to tell me?
I thought about everything you said
Ever since you walked away boy 
Now I know

There's no other way to say it
Baby, please, let's not delay it
Boy, I know you feel the same
It's in your eyes
Since you've gone my heart's been missin'
And I hope that you will listen
Boy without you I won't make it one more night
Take me back I was such a fool
I'm dying without you

What was I thinking baby?
I should've seen the writing on the wall
Never thought you'd ever leave me
Now I know
What were you trying to tell me?
I thought about everything you said
Ever since you walked away boy
Now I know

I can't live my life without you
Everything you say wasn't true
I should have known it from the start
Now you own my heart

Now I know
Now I know
Doesn't matter what I do
I can't make it without you

What was I thinking baby?
I should've seen the writing on the wall
Never thought you'd ever leave me
Now I know
What were you trying to tell me?
I thought about everything you said
Ever since you walked away boy
Now I know.    (Back to Top)
 
 

I Don't Like Anyone   (Back to Top)
Suki says we're all downtown
So, what's my problem
I don't wanna socialize
Why don't they leave me alone?
Bad boys, jealous girls
Been there, done that
I just wanna fantasize
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Starin' at the ceiling thinking about you
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
It's a freaky feeling
What can I do?

I don't like anyone
The way I like you
I don't go anywhere
If you're not there too
It's not as if I'm hard to please
You're the only one good enough for me
Those others just won't do
I don't like anyone but you
You

They think I'm a little obsessed
Up here sending mental telepathy
I'm concentrating on you
I wanna give you everything
But if I do will you think less of me?
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Everybody else is just a waste of my time
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Baby, can't you tell we're two of a kind?

I don't like anyone
The way I like you
I don't go anywhere
If you're not there too
It's not as if I'm hard to please
You're the only one good enough for me
Those others just won't do
I don't like anyone but you

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Starin' at the ceiling thinking about you
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Helplessly, Hopelessly, Recklessly    (Back to Top)
I can stand with the weight of the world
On my shoulders
I can fight with the toughest of the tough
I can laugh in the face 
Of all my insecurities
Anytime, anywhere, anything
I'm strong enough

But when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling in love

So let consequence do what it will to us
I don't care
Let the stars stand as witness to it all
Say the word and tonight I will follow you anywhere
I just can't pretend anymore
I'm too sturdy to fall

But when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling in love

I am not afraid
I am not afraid

'Cause when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling...
(Helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly falling)
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly 
Falling in love.   (Back to Top)
 
 

These Wings (Back to Top)
Love was always letting me down
You know what I mean
The man of my dreams
Should knock me off my feet
Like you're doing now boy
Now you figured it out, boy, how
How did you reach down inside and 
Find a butterfly, I'm a butterfly
Learning how to fly

These wings they fly away, hide away
I want to hide away
These wings they fly away, high away
I want to hide away, oh

Hard, every day was so hard
Now don't they go by
Like riding a slide
Get to the end, fly off into the night, boy, night
Everything is so right, boy, right
Now I could just circle the moon and
Bring it back to you
Bring it back to you
There's nothing I can't do

These wings they fly away, hide away
I want to hide away
These wings they fly away, high away
I want to hide away, oh

Like you're doing now, boy, now
You figured it out, boy, how
How did you reach down inside and
Find a butterfly, I'm a butterfly
Watch me fly

These wings they fly away, hide away
I want to hide away
These wings they fly away, high away
I want to hide away, oh.  (Back to Top)
 
 
 

Never Had It So Good   (Back to Top)
They could look all their lives
And not find what we've got
Up and down, all around
Beneath every rock
Our love is one of a kind
Where you took my heart 
Is a whole different trip
It's a new cup of tea
I live for each sip
Our love intoxicates my mind
Your kisses tell me more than words can say
Your touches, they just take my breath away

When we're together
Nothing could ever be better
Don't you know that I have never
Never had it so good
Never had it so 
Never had it so good

Round the block, round the world
We can go anywhere 
Do a dance, sing a song
We can do what we dare
Our love is gonna take us there
Your kisses tell me more than words can say
Your touches they just take my breath away

When we're together
Nothing could ever be better
Don't you know that I have never
Never had it so good
Never had it so
Never had it so good.  (Back to Top)
