You said
There are more important things than beer
So why are you there instead of here
I'm waiting in the dark
Waiting for your car
You said you'd pick me up
Never thought iId see the day
When I had to say

ch-

I'll accept
There are more important things

In your world than me
Just never thought
I'd be below the whiskey
With our love so great
With our love so strong
Nothing could go wrong
From that moment
Till you left your
Promise Broken

You said you were working over-time
But I heard the talk
Sayin it wasnt just you and your wine
Well you can have your brandy
And have your beer
Btu not as long as I'm
Still stickin around here

repeat ch.

Bridge-

I can smell it on your breath
I can see it in your eyes
I'm tired of these second tries
You're tasting something new
No longer the love between me and you

******************************************

ch-
I'm tired of being
your puppet on a string
You'd say jump, I'd leap
It's not a secret I want to keep
So don't make your next move yet
Cause im done being your
Puppet

My friends warned me
about you
They said to watch my back
And what you do
But I spent too much time
Thinkin how to make you mine
You used my thoughts to help you
I'm tired of being played the fool

repeat ch.

One day you'll find
Nothin but empty strings
They'll be attached to nothing
Cause finally
I'll have found a way
To break free
From these chains
From this spell you got me under
And it'll hit you
I hope it hits you
like thunder
cause

repeat ch

***************************

You're sayin I've been out
With some other guy
Well how about that girl
You've got on the side?
You ain't got no proof on me
Just rumours and lies
But hunny I got proof
That you've been runnin round at night
She told me it all
She told me everything
How long did you think
it'd take
Till I found out
About you fling?

ch-
I'm whinin' and I'm cursin'

I'm denyin' and I'm accusin'
I'm yellin' and I'm wonderin'
How many more glasses will it take
For me to take you back?
Fixin this is gonna take time
So I'm pourin me another glass
Of Passion Fruit Wine

Sip after sip
I'm takin it all in
Lie after lie
Its amazing
the web this guy can spin
"I didn't do it"
Is what you're sayin'
"That's not her name!"
Is as good as a confession
Yah you're caught,
It was obvious
But I'm curious
Humour me...
Was it better with her
Than it was with me?

ch 2-
I'm throwin' and I'm missin'
I'm cryin' and I'm wishin'
I'm yellin' and I'm wonderin'
How many more glasses
will it take
For me to take you back?
Fixin this is never gonna happen
So I'm pourin me another glass...

Caught you in your lies

Now all that's left it goodbyes...

ch 3-
I'm cryin' and I'm sobbin'
I'm breakin' down and dyin'
I'm wonderin how
You could do this to me
I'm never gonna take you back
Fixin' this is never gonna happen
So here's one last toast to Passion
Here's one last toast of Passion
Of Passion Fruit Wine

************************

I don't know what I'm
Doing anymore
I don't know why
I just keep running round in circles
Its just a
"Been there,
Done that
Had my heard broke
By that same ol' cowboy"
Lookin back
I don't regret
I just really need some answers

ch-
Right about now
I need to know.
Got too much running
through my head
Eventually, you'll run into me
And maybe right about then
I'll know.

I made the first step
It wasn't that hard
It's the waiting that killing me
And i know it shouldn't
Cause with you its never been like this
You don't knwo what I've been through
to get here
And you don't know what it's cost me
to let you hear
How i feel inside
I'm so frustrated
If only you'd just say something

repeat ch

I keep finding myself
counting down the days
Till I see you next
I keep finding myself
worrying about what you'll say or do
Don't pretend it never happened
Cause we both know it did
I can't pretend I never felt it
Cause now you know
Exactly how much I did.

Bridge:
I feel the same now
As I did back then
I'm trusting you now
To be the guy I've always known
Don't let me down
Please don't turn away
Just please baby, let me say...

last ch-
Right about now
I just need to know
Got too much running through my head
Eventually

you'll run into me
And right about then...
Well only you know
What'll happen then...
Yah only you know
What'll happen then...

Raining In Seattle

Date: April 1, 2006
****************

Well, she’s got a baby girl
And she’s got a dream
To make it big on that Nashville scene
She’s singing two shows
And working overtime
Readin her daughter to sleep every night
But life’s as hard
As it is mean
And it always falls apart at the seams

Ch-
She will try
And keep on trying
‘Til the day she dies
She will sing
And keep on singing
‘Til the moon refuses to rise
She will love
And she will live
She thinks as she cries
It’s rainin in Seattle tonight

That office just gets smaller
And that apartment just ain’t right
To hold her dreams and fears every night
Music city’s clear across the country
But her life is her little girl
She couldn’t just mix up their world
Rent seemed more
And more each day
And life just kept getting in the way

Repeat ch

Bridge:
There’s some big producer
In the audience tonight
And he’s only there for her
So she puts that mic to her lips
And sings like she’s got one night left to live

Chorus:
She’s gonna try
And keep on trying
‘Til her fans stop cheerin
She’s gonna sing
And keep on singing
‘Til her voice stops workin
She will love
And she will live
With her daughter down in Nashville
And she don’t care that
It’s rainin in Seattle tonight
