Hung my cotton dress on rusted wire
Up there on Pelahatchie bridge
Just a crazy roughnecks daughter
Jumped head first into the water
Baptized away my sins

Hitched to town with Bobby Jo and Tommy
Couple of lookers new best friends
We slipped in back of Sunday service
Know them church ladies they heard us
Bum smoke money from the offering

Mamma said “Idle hands are
Devil’s handy work”
Oh the trouble you’ll get into
When you got nothin’ better to do, got nothing better to
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sign read bait, chips, beer and ammunition
That slim-Jim bag boy hadn’t a prayer
I hiked my skirt and did the talkin’
While them boys were busy walkin’
Case of .5 out the back door

Hid deep in the Mississippi back woods
We danced and played around til’ dark
I had them wrestling for my first kiss
Turned into a fight and they missed
Me speeding off in Tommy’s car

Mamma said “Idle hands are
Devil’s handy work”
Oh the trouble you’ll get into
When you got nothin’ better to do, got nothing better to
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Nobody hurt, nobody harmed
Nobody’s business but my own

Mamma said “Idle hands are
Devil’s handy work”
Oh the trouble you’ll get into
When you got nothin’ better to do, got nothing better to
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

(feat. Jon Bon Jovi)

It might be hard to be lovers
But its harder to be friends
Baby pull down the covers
Its time you let me in
Maybe light a couple candles
Ill just go ahead and lock the door
If you just talk to me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore

Lay your head on my pillow
I sit beside you on the bed
Dont you think its time we say
Some things we havent said
It aint too late to get back to that place
Back to where, we thought it was before
Why dont you look at me
Til we aint strangers anymore

Sometimes its hard to love me
Sometimes its hard to love you too
I know its hard believing
That love can pull us through
It would be so easy
To live your life

With one foot out the door
Just hold me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore

[Solo]

Its hard to find forgivness
When we just run out of lies
Its hard to say youre sorry
When you cant tell wrong from right
It would be so easy
To spend your whole damn life
Just keeping score
So lets get down to it baby
There aint no need to lie

Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
Lets put our two hearts back together
And we’ll leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore

We’re not strangers anymore
We’re not strangers
We’re not strangers anymore.

I know what makes me comfortable
And I know what makes me tick
And I when I need to get my way
I know how to pour it on thick
Cream and sugar in my coffee
Right away when I awake
I face the day, and pray to God
I won’t make the same mistakes

All the rest is out of my hands
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, yeah I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

Yeah I don’t know my father
Or my mother well enough
It seems like every time we talk
We can’t get passed the little stuff
The pain is self-inflicted
I know it’s not good for my health
But it’s easier to please the world
Then it is to please myself

All the rest is out of my hands
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, yeah I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can

Well I know I can’t care about how everyone else really feels
I have enough hurt of my own to heal

I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to let go what I cannot change
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change
I will learn to love what I cannot change
But I will change, yeah I will change
Whatever I, whenever I can.

You been gone
You been gone
You been gone one day
One day to long

I’m the kind of woman who understands
How the road can be so hard on a traveling man
I don’t mind giving you a little room to breathe
Then you go and take advantage of my generosity
I’m home, waiting
Alone, aching
Your times run out ’cause
Yesterday this love could have been saved
Just crawl back out ain’t no way

You been gone
You been gone
You been gone one day
One day too long

You see, I ain’t a once in a while kind of thing
You see, love is being here for each other
Even with you standing right here, right now, right in front of my face
You’re still looking right through me
Well, let me clear something up for you honey

I called you up
Told you I was
Missing, needing
To be soothed by you
Keep your reasons
I’m done pleasing
Ain’t it funny now
I’m leaving, and your the one who’s being left behind
God sent me a man who will give me my time

You been gone
You been gone
You been gone one day
One day too long.…

Honey on a teaspoon
Sugar in a bowl
An eager man’s always an easy catch
Butter on the skillet
Whisky in a glass
To start a flame you’ve got to light a match

Ooh you know what he wants
You know what he wants
Ooh

Got to get a hold, got to get a hold, get a hold of your man
Better get him while, better get him while, better get him while you can
Good to be a lion, good to be a lion, instead of a lamb
Use what you got, take the upper hand

Always be a lady
But tease him like a tramp
A temptation that’s hard to resist
Treat him like a hero
Let him long to be your slave
Take advantage of your God given gift

Ooh you got what he wants
Yeah, you got what he wants
Ooh

Got to get a hold, got to get a hold, get a hold of your man
Better get him while, better get him while, better get him while you can
Good to be a lion, good to be a lion, instead of a lamb
Use what you got take the upper hand

Generations before will testify it’s true
Girl your gonna see how much he really loves you

Got to get a hold, got to get a hold get, a hold of your man
Better get him while, better get him while, better get him while you can
Good to be a lion, good to be a lion, instead of a lamb
Use what you got take the upper hand..

Mama’s high heels, cherry lipstick
And a goodwill dress
Play pretending, danced for the mirror
A fairytale princess

Chorus

Pretty things are yours to hold
My pretty thing soon you will know
Pretty things you think you need
But don’t make you beautiful
Pretty things will rot with love
Pretty things will fade with time
It’s what’s inside that makes you shine
My pretty thing

It’s only natural, the table’s turning
And gracefully I’ll learn
How to cradle the one who raised me
Will be too fragile for this world

Chorus

Selfless and faithful
As good as you should be
Open and fearless
Oh, what a gift you gave

Chorus.

(feat. Marc Broussard)

I would’ve slipped off my jeans
And slipped on my heels
If I knew I’d see you
This diamond ring gets kinda loose
Gotta watch myself around you

Glad you finally said somethin’
‘Cause it’s been weighin’ on my mind
And messin’ with my life
I wonder should I feel guilty
But we haven’t crossed that line

We ain’t doin’ nothin’ wrong, ooo
Nothin’ wrong as long we keep it innocent
I’m just tryin’ to have some fun
But baby you’re drivin’ me crazy
I ain’t tryin’ to make you crazy
For me it ain’t that much fun
If we ain’t doin’ nothin’ wrong

If you only knew
What you do to me
When you walk away
If I had a chance, gave you a taste
Well baby, you’d be beggin’ me to stay

Sometimes I wonder what it’d feel like
But I gotta good man and I’m a damn good wife
I don’t wanna feel guilty
But it’s getting awfully hard to believe

We ain’t doin’ nothin’ wrong, oh yeah
Nothin’ wrong as long we keep it innocent
I’m just tryin’ to have some fun
But baby you’re drivin’ me crazy
I ain’t tryin’ to make you crazy
For me it ain’t that much fun
If we ain’t doin’ nothin’

I’d never ask you
Would you leave the one you love?
I’d never tell you
I want you so bad it hurts
I like the way you make me feel
Baby, can we make it real?
If we don’t make it real…

I’m just tryin’ to have some fun
But baby you’re drivin’ me crazy
I ain’t tryin’ to make you crazy
For me it ain’t that much fun
If we ain’t doin’ nothin’
If we ain’t doin’ nothin’ wrong..

You may have a tabloid life
Pay for all your friends
You may be a suburban wife
With your white picket fence
You may be a suit and tie
Paying off your high rise rent

When it all comes down
When it all comes down, baby
When it all comes down to it
Doesn’t everybody want the same thing
To be loved
Doesn’t everybody want the same thing
Why isn’t that enough
Doesn’t everybody want the same thing

You may be a night shift waitress
To send your kid through school
You may be a stubborn doctor
Pushing for the cure
You may be a bitter divorce
Wondering what he saw in her

When it all comes down
When it all comes down, baby
When it all comes down to it
Doesn’t everybody want the same thing
To be loved
Doesn’t everybody want the same thing
Why isn’t that enough
Doesn’t everybody want the same thing

When it all comes down
When it all comes down
When it all comes down to it
Doesn’t everybody want the same thing
To be loved
Doesn’t everybody want the same thing
Why isn’t that enough
Doesn’t everybody want the same thing
To be loved
Doesn’t everybody want the same thing
Why isn’t that enough
doesn’t everybody want the same thing
Doesn’t everybody want the same thing
Doesn’t everybody
Doesn’t everybody

We all want the same thing.

When I’m walking down the street
On a quiet afternoon
When I hear our favorite song
and it gets me in the mood
When I don’t know who I am
And the world is not my friend
When I fight my way back up again

Chorus

I… want you with me every move I make
I… want you to see all that I see
Through the laughter and the madness
and every moment in between
I……….. I want you with me

When I tell my daddy bye
For the very last time
When I learn a whole new love
In our baby’s first cry
When you can tell I’ve done it all
By the lines on my face
When I start regretting my mistakes

Chorus.

Cross my heart and I swear the truth
Love was dead to me until I met you
I spent a lot of time building up these walls
Then you come strutting in with your wrecking ball
Just another girl defeated
Until you gave me what I needed

Something I can feel
Something I can feel deep down
What did I do to deserve
Someone who gives me a love
That gets better and better and better

Sometimes I’ve got to bite my tongue
It even freaks me out the way I talk you up
You’re like a back flip off a trampoline
You just say my name, I’m dizzy on my feet
When my day goes numb and empty
You know exactly how to give me

Something I can feel
Something I can feel deep down
You know you’re striking a nerve
That keeps making this
Better and better and better
Something I can feel
I never ever need to ask for more, no
What did I do to deserve
Someone who gives me a love
That gets better and better and better

What did I
What did I do to find someone who gives me love
What did I
What did I do to find someone who gives me love

Something I can feel
Something I can feel deep down
You know you’re striking a nerve
That keeps making this
Better and better and better
Something I can feel
I never ever need to ask for more, no
What did I do to deserve
Someone who gives me a love
That gets better and better and better

What did I
What did I do to find someone who gives me love
Somethign I can feel
What did I
What did I do to find someone who gives me your love
Something I can feel
What did I
What did I do to find someone who gives me love.
