1. HEART OF SOMEBODY
https://clyp.it/3rgdw4em
Heart of Somebody
(Caroline Spence / Chris Tuttle)
I’ve been going out, I’ve been making plans
Trying to pretend this is who I am
But I need something more, I want something else
This is the well and I want the top shelf
I wanna lose myself in the heart of somebody
Want them to need me there, not just to want me
I wanna lose myself in the heart of somebody
And see the love I give return to me
Empty glasses and empty promises
Filling up my nights but in the morning I just wanna forget
I want to be full and bursting at the seams
With love, unconditionally
I wanna lose myself in the heart of somebody
Want them to need me there, not just to want me
I wanna lose myself in the heart of somebody
And see the love I give return to me
Just want the love I give to return to me
2. HOTEL AMARILLO

Hotel Amarillo
(Caroline Spence)
I’m just passing through, it’ll only be the night
I just need somewhere to crash where I can turn off all the lights
I put 500 miles on my sweet old ride
Now I’m pulling into Hotel Amarillo with a bottle of wine
I’ve been playing shows out west with no guarantee
That anybody’s ever gonna give a damn about me
But I made enough last night to fill the tank up one more time
And to pull on into Hotel Amarillo with a bottle of wine
I’ve got no one to sleep on the other half of this king size bed
But that lady still gave me two keys when I checked in
I wish that didn’t make me think about how you’ve been spending your time
Glad I pulled on into Hotel Amarillo with a bottle of wine
Out here it’s the little things that you start to miss
That long, hot shower, that slow, deep kiss
Things like where you are and the date and time
Or the name of the hotel and what happened to the wine
3. ALL THE BEDS I'VE MADE
4. YOU DON'T LOOK SO GOOD (COCAINE)
You Don’t Look So Good (Cocaine)
3. ALL THE BEDS I'VE MADE
https://clyp.it/bonvb5bm
All The Beds I’ve Made
(Caroline Spence / Stephanie Lambring)
Of all the beds I’ve made, this is the hardest to leave
Oh, the world is cold out there without your arms around me
Lying here with you, I don’t need no sleep
Oh, but when I close my eyes, all my dreams are sweet
There’s no wrong side to get up on
No ghost keeping me awake
Honey, this love’s gunna make up
For all the beds I’ve made
Of all the beds I’ve made, I’ve messed up a few
Lies tangled up like sheets, all sorts of shades of blue
And I’d lie in them so long, I thought I would never move
But I tossed and turned around, and I found my way to you
There’s no wrong side to get up on
No ghost keeping me awake
Honey, this love’s gunna make up
For all the beds I’ve made
Good love is easy, like falling asleep
It’ll take you over and give you all that you need
There’s no wrong side to get up on
No ghost keeping me awake
Honey, this love’s gunna make up
For all the beds I’ve made
Honey, this love’s gunna make up
For all the beds I’ve made
4. YOU DON'T LOOK SO GOOD (COCAINE)
https://clyp.it/nhefut1g
You Don’t Look So Good (Cocaine)
(Caroline Spence)
Honey, I love you, you’ve got a piece of my heart
But it’s hard to watch you falling apart
To the untrained eye, you’re just the life of the party
But they don’t know what it’s like if you finish what you’re starting
You get so high, you can’t come back down
Can’t see what you lose except a couple of pounds
I’m a broken record, you know what I’m gunna say
You don’t look so good when you do cocaine
Some people can handle it, oh honey, you can’t
Can’t find a way to go to the ball and sit out for a dance
Some people see roses, you only see thorns
At the first little drop of pain you wish you’d never been born
You get so high, you can’t come back down
Can’t see what you lose except a couple of pounds
I’m a broken record, you know what I’m gunna say
You don’t look so good when you do cocaine
And I call it like I see it and I can see from the look in your eye
You’ve been chasing that feeling, you’ve been walking a fine line
You get so high, you can’t come back down
Can’t see what you lose except a couple of pounds
I’m a broken record, you know what I’m gunna say
You don’t look so good when you do cocain
No, you don’t look so good when you do cocaine
5. SOUTHERN ACCIDENT
Southern Accident
5. SOUTHERN ACCIDENT
https://clyp.it/tzq3qnwg
Southern Accident
(Caroline Spence)
Your momma and your daddy, they knew their love was true
But I came out eight months after my momma said “I Do”
It’s not that they were lying, they were looking down the road
But I can’t help but to think of love as something that can come and go
So honey, I’m doubtful
Honey, I’m hopeful
Honey, I’m a handful but I’m a hand you can hold
Honey, I’m reticent
I’m a southern accident
But, honey, I’m here and I’m gonna let it go
You took family vacation, I never learned to sky
On weekends I’d hide in my bedroom, watch too much MTV
It’s not that there was yelling, but the silence was thick
That’s why when I get angry, you’d never know it
So honey, I’m doubtful
Honey, I’m hopeful
Honey, I’m a handful but I’m a hand you can hold
Honey, I’m reticent
I’m a southern accident
But, honey, I’m here and I’m gonna let it go
Oh, it’s a coming of age and a ticking of the clock
Some folks dream to settle, some folks say “why not?”
But I don’t see the hurry, wanna love you through all the seasons
And you see the good, the bad and leave me
Don’t love me for any other reason
Then that I’m doubtful
Honey, I’m hopeful
Honey, I’m a handful but I’m a hand you can hold
Honey, I’m reticent
I’m a southern accident
But, honey, I’m here and I’m gonna let it go
6. SLOW DANCER
Slow Dancer
6. SLOW DANCER
https://clyp.it/uu5qtrzr
Slow Dancer
(Caroline Spence / Stephanie Lambring )
Same old bar, same old stools
I’m used to following the same old rules
First date, arm’s length, nice try, no thanks
I think I better get going
Oh, but how do you do it, I’m lost in the music
I’m floating around like there’s nothing to it
Found that part of my heart won’t take no for an answer
You turned me into a slow dancer
You turned me into a slow dancer
I’ve been known to drag my feet
I’ve never been one to believe
True love, first sight, rest of your life
Now I think that I think too much
Oh, but how do you do it, I’m lost in the music
I’m floating around like there’s nothing to it
Found that part of my heart won’t take no for an answer
You turned me into a slow dancer
You turned me into a slow dancer
How do you know where to go?
How do you know when you know?
Oh, but how do you do it, I’m lost in the music
I’m floating around like there’s nothing to it
Found that part of my heart won’t take no for an answer
You turned me into a slow dancer
You turned me into a slow dancer
You turned me into a slow dancer
7. SOFTBALL
Softball
8. TO GO DOWN
To Go Down
7. SOFTBALL
https://clyp.it/wkxuyaum
Softball
(Caroline Spence)
That old tree house in the neighbor’s yard
with the sign that says “No Girl’s Allowed”
I’d break on in and climb up high
Get the prettiest view of the town
And I’d think
One day Coach will put me in
I’ve been working hard
I can catch any pop fly
and hit one out of the yard
If there’s one thing that I’m sure of
It’s I could win them all
And when I make it to the majors
they ain’t gonna call it softball
Now I work all day at the boy’s club
78 cents on the dollar
Some girls bow their heads or just bow out
And I can’t help but want to holler
Still saying
Hey, Coach won’t you put me in
I’ve been working hard
I can catch any pop fly
and hit one out of the yard
If there’s one thing that I’m learning
You can’t win them all
And even when you’re stealing the base
They’re still gunna call it softball
When I’m done working I wanna blow off steam
And wear my best dress out
But outside of my grass-stained jeans
They keep thinking I was asking for something I wasn’t thinking about
I’m only asking
Hey coach won’t you put me in
I’ve been working hard
I can catch any pop fly
and hit one out of the yard
If there’s one thing that I’m sure of
You can’t win them all
And they’ll go to strike you out
And say “cheer up it’s only softball”
Hey coach won’t you put me in
I’ve been working hard
8. TO GO DOWN
https://clyp.it/pyk3bwg1
To Go Down
(Pete Lindberg)
Luck owes you nothing and it ain’t work wondering
when yours is gonna change
Your ship is sinking, soon you’ll be swimming
at the mercy of the wave
I owe you nothing but I’ll give you something
That you can hold onto
Though my heart is breaking, it’s yours for the taking
If that’s what’ll get you through
Will it be your time to go down
Or will your luck come around?
Will it be your time to go down
Or will your luck come around?
The wind is changing, a sparrow’s singing
For you down in the sand
His eyes are open, his wings are broken
He will fall into your hands
Will it be your time to go down
Or will your luck come around?
Will it be your time to go down
Or could my love keep you around?
9. WISHING WELL
Wishing Well
https://clyp.it/wup1vdie
Wishing Well
(Caroline Spence)
If I had a dollar every time I thought of you
I’d get rich so quick I wouldn’t know what to do
If I had a nickel every time you crossed my mind
I could make a dollar so quick I’d leave all of my worries behind
But if I can’t have you I’ll just be
Sinking like a penny in the wishing well
If I can’t have you I’ll just be
Wasting all my pennies in the wishing well
Penny in the wishing well
I don’t make money and I don’t make sense
Just sitting here writing songs, wondering where the love went
You could buy a car with the quarters I spent
In the jukebox playing our song again and again
But if I can’t have you I’ll just be
Sinking like a penny in the wishing well
If I can’t have you I’ll just be
Wasting all my pennies in the wishing well
Penny in the wishing well
Take a chance, make a splash
One of these days a stone you throw
Is gunna leave a ripple that lasts
One day it’s gunna last
But if I can’t have you I’ll just be
Sinking like a penny in the wishing well
If I can’t have you I’ll just be
Wasting all my pennies in the wishing well
Penny in the wishing well
10. I CAN'T COMPLAIN
I Can’t Complain
Goodbye Bygones
https://clyp.it/q53ibrg5
I Can’t Complain
(Caroline Spence)
I’ve had flat tires and bad ideas
I’ve been there when I should have been here
I’ve been burned in the sunshine, I’ve been stuck out in the rain
But after all, I can’t complain
I’ve been caught red handed, I’ve been caught off guard
I’ve been caught watching the grass grower greener in the neighbor’s yard
I’ve got a to-do list the size of Spain
But after all, I can’t complain
Cause if I die tomorrow they’ll find me with a roof over my head
And there’s a chance there was eloquence in the very last words I said
It’s all love and it’s all pain
And after all I can’t complain
I have drank til I forgot
I have taken the impossible half-court shot
I’ve lived large and I’ve loved in vain
But after all, I can’t complain
Cause if I die tomorrow they’ll find me with a roof over my head
And there’s a chance there was eloquence in the very last words I said
It’s all love and it’s all pain
And after all I can’t complain
I’ve been the belle of the ball, I’ve been the beast of burden
I’ve been known to leave a heart hurting
I’ve been one of a kind, I’ve been one and the same
But after all, I can’t complain
Cause if I die tomorrow they’ll find me with a roof over my head
And there’s a chance there was eloquence in the very last words I said
It’s all love and it’s all pain
And after all I can’t complain
You get what you give if you don’t give to gain
And after all I can’t complain
11. GOODBYE BYGONES
Goodbye Bygones
(Caroline Spence / Danny Mitchell)
Let it be, don’t you know
You cannot call a spade a rose
Again I find the sweetest thing
Is to let you go
Soon I’ll be the one before
Cause what you need is something more
Than you and I on other sides
Of a closing door
This love was made for the past
And there’s no sense in looking back
So I keep on singing the same little song
Goodbye bygones
Goodbye gone
Down the road you will find someone
Who makes you forget you were mine
And I’ll just be some small piece
Of another time
This love was made for the past
And there’s no sense in looking back
So I keep on singing the same little song
Goodbye bygones
Goodbye gone
Let it be goodbye
Let it be goodbye
Let it be gone
This love was made for the past
And there’s no sense in looking back
So I keep on singing the same little song
Goodbye bygones
Goodbye gone
