Well Behaved Cowgirls

She was just 16 when she knew she had to go
don't need a GED to join the rodeo
so she headed down the road in high top tennis shoes
kicking up dust and memories and dreams she plans to choose
because well behaved cowgirls don't know how to rope
rarely learn how to ride because well behaved cowgirls
rarely play the game with loaded dice
so she headed down the road in high top tennis shoes
kicking up dust and memories and dreams she plans to choose
and her momma knew to change her babies mind
would be no use cause she had the stubborn determination inside
of her too
because well behaved cowgirls don't know how to rope
rarely learn how to ride because well behaved cowgirls
rarely play the game with loaded dice

Forever Together
02:54

Adam and eve never needed therapy
rumor has it they got along
the only temptation it grew on a tree
and when paradise was gone
they weren't fighting and angry and calling it quits
when the thunder from the devil started rolling in
maybe it's the struggle that kept them strong
and forever together is never too long.
Johnny and June sang their own tune
through the darkness in the spotlight
the man in black said she hung the moon
now their on a golden stage in the sky
they ain't angry and fighting and calling it quits
when the thunder from the devil starts rolling in
maybe it's the struggle that keeps them strong
and forever together is never too long
it's all about what you see after love at first sight
sometimes you just gotta learn how to love somebody
you don't like
we aint fighting and angry and calling it quits
when the thunder from the devil starts rolling in
maybe it's the struggle that keeps us strong and forever
together is never too long

Sudie Mae

Born on a blue moon in Harlan Kentucky
hair as black as coal from the mines
moved her wild roots to 16th Avenue
way back in 1959
and all of you wayward worn out musicians
she bring in year after year from the road
fix up your broken dreams with duct tape and a butter knife
how she lift you up then she save you soul
Sudie Mae Soooooodie Mae music row matriarch
you'll have a hit song one day. (repeat)
I love you Aunt Sudie

I want a Cadillac I want it too be black
drive up to my Aunt Sudie's house see her smile real loud
I want a brand new pair of shoe, I want them to be Patent leather black too
That'll be the life, That'll be the life step in too my woman
Handpainted dream yeah
I wanna be rich, body guards on either side, you'll be scared to look my way.
Want myself a driver brand new pair of tits, that'll be it. yeah
Step into my woman handpainted dream yeah!
I want to be a princess, princess Lo Lo
I want a palace in Paris, dripping with diamonds from every tree
I want to princess Lo Lo of hip hop , New Rock and QVC
That'll be the life that'll be the life step into my woman hand painted dream
but what I got a Toyota that's blue a rotten pair of tennis shoe
gut myself drunk a baby girl and you.

Home

Pitch black pitcher nestled in the dark
bluegrass shivers to the sound of the lark
Kentucky moonshine white lightning fills the sky
pick blueberries half the day bluegrass all night
Home cradled in the branches of my family tree
Home her arms are always open the hollar of Wallins Creek
Place still looks like heaven from the bunk house porch
after all the hell we've been through I've only learned one thing
there's a spirit in the music running through my family
and it sings to me in dreamtime four part harmony
home cradled in the branches of my family tree
Home her arms are always open the hollar of Wallins Creek
cast my memory back there no matter where I roam
I'll always feel my feet on the back roads leading home oh oh home
cradled in the branches of my family tree
home her arms are always open the hollar of Wallins Creek

VA VA VOOM

She's a car pooling home schooling soccer mom
used to be the queen of the senior prom
tired of being tied down to the apron strings
she's stepping out of the American dream
one night a week to be a fantasy
and it's goodbye good girl hello ghetto
dancing round a pole wearing nothing but stilettos
triple x marks the spot hot enough to melt metal and it's BOOM BOOM BOOM Baby VA VA VOOM
Hubby didn't notice her pink negligee he looked right
through so he could watch the game
was the straw that broke the camel's back
thirty seven year itch she just had to scratch
and it's goodbye good girl hello ghetto
dancing round a pole wearing nothing but stelettos
triple x marks the spot hot enough to melt metal and it's BOOM BOOM BOOM Baby VA VA VOOM
repeat

She's got courage in her blood a line as true as the rail road tracks that shakes her cabin of love in downtown Nashville.
She's holding onto old scars and driving a hand me down car
chorus: you just can't stop an old cowgirl , you just can't tame her soul
you just can't stop an old cowgirl she'll still want to rock and roll ohhhhhhh
Her church is old smells like wood soaked with dreams
looks like an old Alvarez with strings,, she's like a north bound train
heading into a tunnel a mile long and you can hear her whistling loud and strong.
chorus: you just can't stop an old cowgirl, you just can't tame her soul
you just can't tame her soul. You just can't stop an old cowgirl she'll still want to rock and roll.
She wears her pain with a smile she's like a diamond waiting to be mined she'll walk til her boots have no souls left in them. Wrap em up in duct tape and keep on grinning.
You just can't stop an old cowgirl, you just can't tame her soul, you just can't stop an old cowgirl, she'll still want to rock and roll ohhhhhhhh you just can't stop an ooooold cowwwwwgirl ohhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Lois Berg Nashville, Tennessee
A wild child from the get go she followed her instincts down a number of crooked paths musical and otherwise. Sometimes
these paths lead her astray. She ended up in jail and homeless for eight months. She has worked hard since then and her future looks bright.
