Paint and Pillows
Written by Arlis Albritton, Robin Lee Bruce and Casey Koesel
From concrete to shingles and every single
Nail we drove to hold this house together
That stained glass door, those hardwood floors
Cost a little more but they made this place better
I ain't nineteen, I ain't naïve
That ain't the way I make my bed
I can't believe you're telling me
This all can be repaired
Chorus:
It's gonna take more than paint and pillows
New curtains on these windows
To cover up all the trash that you drug in
There ain't a rug big enough to sweep it under
And just in case you wonder
I'd rather strike a match and watch it go up in smoke
It's gonna take more than paint and pillows
You know these walls don't have to talk
I knew it all intuition, I guess
That long dark hair on the back of my chair
Must be where she put her shoes on before she left
Everything she touched belonged to me
And I don't want no tainted anything
The life we built baby you killed in just one night
Repeat Chorus Twice

Smile
Written by Tony Mullins, Julie Roberts and Danny Wells
I still love you and I don't know why
And I can't rise above you so I don't even try
And tonight there you are holdin' her close to your heart
And I try to look but when I do I can't seem to breathe
Chorus:
When I see you smile it takes me back
And I don't know why it happens like that
She's on your mind and you shine in her eyes
When I see you smile it almost makes me cry
Well, that was last week, I'm back here beggin' for more
Hopin' I might see you walk through that old door
Well, I might as well not pretend I know I'll hit bottom again
But to be in the same room with him makes it all worthwhile
Repeat Chorus
When I see you smile it almost makes me cry

Too DamnYoung
Written by Arlis Albritton and Casey Koesel
We met down at the floatin' dock
I snuck out scared, didn't wanna get caught
We were nervous but it was worth it
And there was no such thing as consequence
There in his arms it finally made sense
In that moonlight he saw my tan lines
Chorus:
And every time my feet are danglin' in the water
I can't help but think about him
Lyin' there with his wet hair
Didn't know what we were doin' but we didn't care
That old wooden dock was warm on our backs
T-shirt for a pillow and just like that
He kissed me like he meant forever
And we were too damn young to know any better
The fog rolled in he said he'd better go
He left his t-shirt for me to hold
A memory, a souvenir I could keep
So I stayed and watched the sunrise
Like it was wakin' up my life
To what love was, I can still see us
Repeat Chorus Twice
We were too damn young to know any better

Men & Mascara
Written by Marv Green, Chris Lindsey, Hillary Lindsey and Aimee Mayo
Sunday dress hangin' on the bedroom door
Empty bottle of wine on the hardwood floor
Last night he said she was the one
Oh, but men and mascara always run
Did I give my love too soon or wait too long
Did I take it a little too easy
Or put it on too strong
She was lookin' for love he was lookin' for fun
Yeah, men and mascara always run
She ain't getting any younger
It wasn't supposed to be this way
Starin' in a mirror with little black rivers
runnin' down her face
Tomorrow's gonna be a brand new day
She'll wake up in the mornin' and wash it all away
Last night he said she was the one
Oh, but men and mascara always run
Yeah, men and mascara always run

First To Never Know
Written by Danny Wells, Tony Mullins and Julie Roberts
I just passed a cheap motel sign
Think I'll stop here and stay the night
First one alone in a long time
Right thing to do's not feeling right
Bright and early I'll be movin' on
Put a few more miles between us 'til I'm finally gone
Chorus:
Well, I might go to Vegas
Or somewhere where it snows
I might end up in Dallas
On some ol' dusty road
Or the coast of Carolina
Who knows where I'll go
But when I find out
You'll be the first to never know
I gave up more than you know
Let you follow your dreams, put mine on hold
Gave you my love, gave you my soul
But in return, your cheatin' left me cold
Your live's ain't worth one single tear
One thing's for sure I'm outta here
Repeat Chorus Twice
Yeah, when I find out
You'll be the first to never know

Chasin' Whiskey
Written by Arlis Albritton and Cliff Cody
That oscillating fan is moving left to right
Like it's mockin' me for comin' here again last night
I slide from under your arm, you're still out stone cold
As I fumble through the twisted sheets lookin' for my clothes
I step over that spot on your hardwood floor
The one that always squeaks when I'm sneakin' out your door
Chorus:
Some use water, others use beer
Some don't need anything but I end up here
Searchin' for comfort for this burn I can't soothe
Chasin' my whiskey with you
I call up my sister and tell her don't say a word
You know where I am I'll wait here by the curb
Just like an addiction, well I've tried to give you up
But I know all bets are off when I've had too much
With an empty shot glass on a Budweiser coaster
Starin' at my cell phone as closing time gets closer
Repeat Chorus
Every time is the last time til' the next time rolls 'round
I'll trade lonely for regret, it's easier to drown
Repeat Chorus
Chasin' my whiskey with you

A Bridge That's Burning
Written by Tony Mullins, Julie Roberts and Danny Wells
You know I almost didn't answer
But I just had to see
If you were really still with her
'Cause this won't work until you're free
Chorus:
I won't step on a bridge that's burnin'
An' I won't dare to cross that line
Don't let me run, it's not you
It's just something I can't do
I won't step on a bridge that's burnin'
Must be another lonely night
No, I won't let you stop by
You can't convince me to give in
Don't even ask me that again
Repeat Chorus
Believe me this ain't no fun
Wakin' up with just the sun
Knowing you're still with someone
Repeat Chorus
Don't let me run, it's not you
It's just something I can't do
I wont step on a bridge that's burnin'
You know I almost didn't answer
But I just had to see

Girl Next Door
Written by Marti Dodson, Pat Buzzard, Kris Misevski, Dak Goodman and Jeremy Martin
Small town homecoming queen
She's the star in this scene
There's no way to deny she's lovely
Perfect skin, perfect hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside she's ugly
Maybe I'm just jealous, I can't help but hate her
Secretly, I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her
Chorus:
She is the prom queen, I'm in a marching band
She is a cheerleader, I'm sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk, I'm sleeping on the floor
She's Miss America
And I'm just the girl next door
Senior class president
She must be Heaven sent
She was never the last one standing
A back seat debutante
Everything that you want
Never too harsh or too demanding
Maybe I'll admit it, I'm a little bitter
Everybody loves her but I just wanna hit her
Repeat Chorus
I don't know why I'm feelin' sorry for myself
Spend all my time wishing that I was someone else
She is the prom queen, I'm in a marching band
She is a cheerleader, I'm sitting in the stands
I get a little bit, she gets a little more
She's Miss America and I'm just the girl next door

Lonely Alone
Written by Jim Brown and Don Sampson
How long did it take to find this letter?
I know it wasn't right when you got home
Was it about the time you started gettin' hungry
An' looked to see what I left on the stove
Did it ever cross your mind to even worry?
Or wonder where I am; is everything all right
No, that's why I left it on your pillow
'Cause that's the only time I cross your mind
Chorus:
I refuse to be with you and be forgotten
So this afternoon I thought why not just go
After all I'm already lonely
I might as well be lonely alone
Maybe I've become a different woman
Or maybe you became a different man
You wonder why I'm doing what I'm doing
Well, I'm not expecting you to understand
'Cause you had no idea that this was coming
How could you when I've always just been there
But you just go on taking me for granted
An' for the first time in my life I don't care
Repeat Chorus
After all I'm already lonely
I might as well be lonely alone

That Ain't A Crime
Written by Carson Chamberlain and Chris Stapleton
I could go on out tonight
And do anything I want
I could find someone to hold me
But I've got my reasons, the reasons I don't
Chorus:
I know you're gone
I just can't move on
'Cause your memory is chained to my mind
That ain't a crime
I know I should forget you
That you're no good for me
But that doesn't mean I don't want you
In my broken heart, in my broken dreams
Repeat Chorus
I've tried and I've tried
I've cried and I've cried over you
Over you
I know you're gone
I just can't move on
'Cause your memory is chained to my mind
It's there all the time
And that ain't a crime

Mama Don't Cry
Written by Rivers Rutherford and Hillary Lindsey
Mama, don't cry, don't you worry about me
I'm a little bit scared, yeah, mama but I'm gonna be all right
I got the letter that you gave me folded in my pocket
Got a feelin' like I need to read it maybe one more time
And let it ease my mind
Chorus:
It's a wide, wide world lookin' out this window
Thirty thousand feet above the ground I grew up on
Just a small town girl out here chasin' rainbows
Doin' what I can to stand up on my own
You taught me well
You raised me right
So mama don't cry
I remember standin' at the end of the driveway
Lookin' down that highway, wonderin' how far it goes
And I could feel your hand, restin' on my shoulder
Hear you sayin' baby don't forget when you're grown
That road will always lead you home
Repeat Chorus Twice

All I Want Is You
Written by Mickey Cones, Julie Roberts and Roxie Dean
What I need is medication
In the form of a vacation
What I need is skies of blue
What I need is a perspective
One that's healthy but objective
What I need is a point of view
What I want is you
Chorus:
Everyone says move on
That is what you would want
Good advice, they are right
That's what I need to do
But what I want, all I want is you
What I need is bread and water
And a father for our daughter
What I need is someone new
What I want is you
Repeat Chorus
What I need is loss of memory
To forget when you were with me
What I need is to admit we're through
What I want, what I need
Oh, what I want is you
What I want is you
