Sixteen 03:23
Don’t ask her now, she won’t hear what you’re saying She’s too far gone, she’s done listening She’s a bull on the run through blood red streets Nostrils flaring and stamping her feet Sixteen and just like her mother With the weight of the world on her shoulders Sixteen and thinks her life is over Not yet a woman but definitely not a girl No definitely not Don’t chase her now, you won’t catch up to her She’s moving too fast, she’s too far ahead Running scared, she’ll fall down hard Keep the home fires burning until she gets tired Sixteen and just like her mother With the weight of the world on her shoulders Sixteen and thinks her life is over Not yet a woman but definitely not a girl No definitely not Nobody said it’d be easy But nobody said it would be this hard She’s throwing punches every which way Hitting everyone she ever loved Everything is different She’s no longer omnipotent And nobody understands Sixteen and just like her mother With the weight of the world on her shoulders Sixteen and thinks her life is over Not yet a woman but definitely not a girl No definitely not

You and me Ain’t got nowhere to be So we'll just keep counting these sheep 'Til we fall asleep You still don't know Everything about me Every curve of my body Or how I wrinkle the sheets And I still don't know you But I know that I want to There are all these things I can't explain But I know are true Every time I learn something new You know I'm not surprised; it just makes me love you Maybe one day We'll live in a boat on the Thames The shores can be our fences And things will make sense Your world and mine Will intertwine You'll learn how to cry And I'll appreciate red wine And I still don't know you But I know that I want to All these things I can't explain But I know are true Every time I learn something new You know I'm not surprised; it just makes me love you And maybe we'll take a trip down to France or Spain Sipping on Mojito’s or Grand Cafe Crème Maybe we'll never come home again You know you just never know what might happen And I still don't know you But I know that I want to All of these things I can't explain But I know are true Every time I learn something new You know I'm not surprised; it just makes me love you

It takes five years to build a white picket fence And another two to make sure it holds Against all odds and the tired fights and the doubts And the fear of getting old You never thought that bird could fly But there she goes, she’s on her way And now you’re left here wondering why You thought you were doing the leaving And now you’re doing the grieving It takes five years to realize its over And another two to actually go And more time still to get over it To wake up alone and feel whole You never thought that bird could fly But there she goes, she’s on her way And now you’re left here wondering why You thought you were doing the leaving And now you’re doing the grieving When you look right through someone long enough You won’t see them disappear And do you think you’ll feel when they’re gone That they were never here You never though that bird could fly But there she goes, she’s on her way And now you’re left here wondering why But while you were doing the cheating She was doing the leaving And now you’re doing the grieving

Sleazy locations and cheesy quotations He sidles a little closer to her Reused one liners, winers and diners He offers a drink, she says “sure” The jukebox is lost as he listens to her talk She plays with the ice in her glass She downs the shot that he thankfully bought He asks if she’d like to dance And it’s the same old town The one in every Country Western Where love has always been and always will be pending And it’s the same old song The one you’ve heard a million times before But everybody loves a happy ending As they dance on the floor and later out the door He lets his beard tickle her cheek His jeans are worn like that old country song Two stepping slightly off beat And loneliness grows to be a cavernous hole Leaving you alone in the dark Sometimes all it takes is a strangers embrace To remind you who you are And it’s the same old town The one in every Country Western Where love has always been and always will be pending And it’s the same old song The one you’ve heard a million times before But everybody loves a happy ending So many loved so many lost, so many stars crossed Got a one-way ticket out of here and I won’t see you again my dear But I’ll think of you when I am blue And it’s the same old town The one in every Country Western Where love has always been and always will be pending And it’s the same old song The one you’ve heard a million times before But everybody loves a happy ending

Michelle 04:07
Small coastal town in Mississippi Drove up to the bar, its blue collar Tuesdays Four thirty pm and no barstool’s left empty And everyone turns to look at me Oh Michelle I don’t know you that well How long have you lived in this town Michelle you dance like you don’t give a care Who touches your body or where Oh Michelle, Michelle, Michelle Michelle, Michelle, Michelle As I start to play she begins to sway With her short shorts and shirt pulled up over her waist And she likes my songs, the ones about how I’ve been done wrong She’s never heard them before but she’s singing along Oh Michelle I don’t know you that well How long have you lived in this town Michelle you dance like you don’t give a care Who touches your body or where Oh Michelle, Michelle, Michelle Michelle, Michelle, Michelle Now the hurricane wiped out this whole town But who was it who knocked you down And shiny new houses where there were only craters But who will rebuild you, Michelle? I guess I’ll never know What gave you the look you have now As we roll out of town, broken beer bottles on the ground I’m thinking on you, Michelle Oh I’m thinking on you, Michelle Oh Michelle I don’t know you that well How long have you lived in this town Michelle you dance like you don’t give a care Who touches your body or where Oh Michelle, Michelle, Michelle Michelle, Michelle, Michelle

He was the one that got away He was the one that got away Everyone needs a one that got away So they can blame everything on the one that stayed The first time that I saw him I knew he was too good to be true He was just so damn handsome and his eyes were just so blue It hit me like a train wreck, I just couldn’t look way I saw the whole thing happen from a mile away He was the one that got away He was the one that got away Everyone needs a one that got away So they can blame everything on the one that stayed Things were going fine until that fateful day I drank a bit too much and acted a little crazy I guess some guys don’t like their girls not to act like ladies So he became the one that got away He was the one that got away He was the one that got away Everyone needs a one that got away So they can blame everything on the one that stayed But what about the one that stays with you The one who’ll always love you and who’ll always be true No matter what he does and no matter what he says He’ll never be the one that got away He was the one that got away He was the one that got away Everyone needs a one that got away So they can blame everything on the one that stayed So they can blame everything on the one that stayed And now they blame everything on the one that stayed
