Small Town Queen

Broken mirror, broken door, 2nd floor, Pawhuska Inn.
Motel lights, and motel dreams, of a Small Town Queen...cranberry gin.
Small Town Queen rides alone, wears a crown and never ages, STQ she's a rhinestone, curses her days, and prays to Jesus.
Was a horse without a rider, in the rodeo arena, and a dried up cantina, at the end of the week.
Sing a song like the undertaker, of Osage County, for a small town queen.
(repeat chorus)
Cigarette, ya ain't dead yet. Go back to bed, ya STQ

10,000 towns behind us, the road is hard and cold, 20 years of a lonesome nightfalls, feeling young and old.
And I wanna hear your stories, and ride the road right by your side, see the heart and soul you're made of, feel the love you've left inside.
You're a good one (x3) I feel it in my bones
(x2)
And if I could paint you a picture, of my Oklahoma skies, of a blood red sunsets fading, into night's showtime surprise.
And misty morning's heatwave, and the cows out on display. Through the window of my memory, this most nostalgic day...
(repeat chorus)

Good Women

I've been hearing voices saying I'm no good, my own mind is telling me lies. Breaking me down like nobody else would, like blood thirsty wolves in the night.
Why oh why do I do me this way? Who planted these seeds of doubt? I know in my heart I got somethin' good to say, gonna get down and turn this around.
Good Woman/women you're strong, good women you're beautiful, look at everything you've done and will do.
Good Woman/women you're strong, good women you're beautiful, good women all my love to you.
Every day some old man tryin' to tell me what to do. Tell me how it is and how it's done. Well I ain't hearing it no more and to tell you the truth I think a change, I think a change is gonna come.
How can a young girl have anything to say, and what can a young girl do? Well I'm older than I look and gettin' younger every day and I got no time for the blues.
(repeat chorus)

Kind Love

Sad but true, this ole world is gonna break your heart.
I don't have to tell you all the ways it can and will fall apart, so I won't.
So what we gonna do friends, when it feels so bad...
Give Kind Love, sweet love, real love... kind love.
Friends and neighbors, family and total strangers need love, kind love.
(repeat chorus)

Oh America

He's a hard man, he's a quiet man, oh soldier boy, what they took from him.
But he's a beating heart. Had a heartbreak start. Lonesome cowboy, what'd they do to him?
And he's been up since 3:00 AM, and his eyes are black and far away.
Nobody's strong enough to bare the sins of man. hold on, please hold on.
And come back baby, don't look through my eyes. You've been out there riding again, tell me where you've been.
I miss you so much. You're here but you're not here. It's getting dark again, lonesome cowboy.
And he'll be up at 3:00 AM again, and he'll be cold and so far away. Nobody's strong enough to bare the sins of man. Hold on, please hold on, hold on...
Oh America, bless your poor little heart, you are suffering. You are falling apart. If love can't find us all and make a brand new start, I fear the fight will fall to the blind and cold at heart.
This land is your land, this land is my land, and broken soldier boys need a gentle hand. Courageous cowgirls, we can take a stand, and hold on, please hold on, hold on.

Long Sunsets

These long sunsets, give me room to roam. My mind's at rest, my heart's at home. To live and die with no regrets, surrounded by, these long sunsets.
Summer nights, and autumn days. Mornins' mist, the evening's haze. Old winter knows what the spring forgets. How soon they're gone, these long sunsets.
You cry at birth. You cry at death. Bite your tongue, and hold your breath. They shine and sing, bittersweet to this/duets, for your weary eyes, in these long sunsets.
(repeat 1st verse)
