"What's It Like to Be An Angel"

What’s it like to be an angel

Raising hearts into the sky

Picking up someone who’s fallen

Will an angel tell me why

Oh what’s it like to be an angel

Wiping tears from someone’s eye

Lifting up someone who’s crawling

Won’t an angel tell me why

And then one day I met an angel

So beautiful I almost cried

She wears  my ring upon her finger

And she sleeps here by my side

“Whiskey Fever” (woman’s Version)

I heard the front door slamming shut

Sounds like a fist hitting in my gut

He’s out of here this nowhere town

It’s all my fault I wouldn’t settle down

He’d always come and pick me up

I didn’t want to wreck my pickup truck

Pour me a shot I’ll drain it down

This queen of nowhere, wears a plastic crown

Another night of whiskey fever

Will I always be a dreamer

Memories of yesterday

Oh, Whiskey wash this world away

People asked where did he go

Sometimes I answer I don’t even know

Because it’s really hard to say

That whiskey washed my world away

I got home really late one night

To tell the truth I was ready to fight

Fell up the stairs couldn’t find my bed

That whiskey bottle barely missed his head

Another night of whiskey fever

Will I always be a dreamer

Memories of yesterday

Oh, Whiskey wash this world away

My morning started with a buzzing clock

Followed up with another shot

Face in the mirror looks like a clown

Can’t spend my life always falling down

Looked around and I found my phone

Called him up won’t you come back home

Poured me a shot I drained it down

This queen of nowhere, wears a plastic crown

Another night of whiskey fever

Yes, I’ll always be a dreamer

Memories of yesterday

Oh, Whiskey wash this world away

All my whiskey poured away

Down the drain unblocked the pain

Going away for twenty eight

A sober life will be my fate

Now people ask me where did he go

Sober I answer I don’t even know

Because it’s really hard to say

That whiskey washed my world away

Another night of whiskey fever

Sober now but still a dreamer

Memories of yesterday

Whiskey washed my world away

“Riding Rainbows”

Oh, I’ve been told that I’m a dreamer

But things aren’t always what they seem

If you’ll ask some other lover

They’ll say I swim against the stream

I love the feel of fresh picked rose buds

And the smell of Cinnabons

I talk with angels in the morning

I love the dreams that I can hold

I’ll ride my life upon a rainbow

Through the iridescent skies

While I’m picking four leaf clovers

I’ll have my Henry by my side

We’ll take a run into the mountains

Over shower covered streets

Then we’ll take a little bike ride

And we’ll play upon the beach

When we met it was a party

It was a night I wasn’t shy

Sipping wine with my girlfriends

My little black dress caught your eye

I hitched a ride on your Ducati

The engine hummed between my thighs

I let you buy my cup of coffee

I’ll live my life somewhere on high

I’ll ride my life upon a rainbow

Through the iridescent skies

While I’m picking four leaf clovers

I’ll have my Henry by my side

We’ll take a run into the mountains

Over shower covered streets

Then we’ll take a little bike ride

And we’ll play upon the beach

I’ll ride my life upon a rainbow

Through the iridescent skies

While I’m picking four leaf clovers

I’ll have my Henry by my side

We’ll take a run into the mountains

Over shower covered streets

Then we’ll take a little bike ride

And we’ll play upon the beach

“It Doesn’t Matter if I Loved Them”

Every time it seems whenever I opened up my heart

Some guy was doing something and tearing me apart

It started oh so long ago when I was seventeen

And I have aged a lifetime, but I’m only twenty-three

I’ve got a little girl with six candles on her cake

I bought it at the grocery store I don’t have time to bake

She’s going to her party in a dress of pure white lace

I love to see her smiling and her oh so perfect face

I’ve struggled through this world they had so many names

The kind of boys who thought that I was just a game

And it doesn’t matter if I loved them

No matter what they say

It doesn’t matter if I loved them

‘Cause now I hate them all the same

I remember my first lover I felt the pain and loved the sweat

The day he left my life I lost my first big bet

I’ve tried and tried so many times to find a stand up man

All I ever seem to get is another grabbing hand

My girlfriends went off to college and left me here behind

I’m pouring beers and paying rent and stretching every dime

Deep within my soul I long for Valentines

And every other month I fall for some old line

I’ve struggled through this world they had so many names

The kind of boys who thought that I was just a game

And it doesn’t matter if I loved them

No matter what they say

It doesn’t matter if I loved them

‘Cause now I hate them all the same

Every time it seems whenever I opened up my heart

Some guy was doing something and tearing me apart

It started oh so long ago when I was seventeen

And I have aged a lifetime, but I’m only thirty three

My lovely little girl who now is sweet sixteen

She made a pledge to me a pledge of purity

My prayers go up to heaven don’t make my same mistake

I’ve got your back my girl me and my thirty eight

I’ve struggled through this world they had so many names

The kind of boys who thought that I was just a game

And it doesn’t matter if I loved them

No matter what they say

‘And it doesn’t matter if I loved them

‘Cause now I hate them all the same

I’ve struggled through this world they had so many names

The kind of boys who thought that I was just a game

And it doesn’t matter if I loved them

No matter what they say

‘And it doesn’t matter if I loved them

‘Cause now I hate them all the same
