I’ll let the dust slowly settle on The two of us, I’ll put the pedal down To the floor Give it a little more The way we were, in our better days Is just a blur, here on this highway I want to look back, but I won’t ‘Till I’m long gone down the road A little more time, well a lot more distance Is gonna make up all the difference Between where I’ve been and where I’m gonna go Mile by mile I’m getting Long gone down the road I keep my eyes in one direction Keep my mind off the reflection In the rearview Well baby off of you I tell myself, no don’t hit the brakes If I can help it, I won’t make that mistake It’ll get easier I know When I’m long gone down the road A little more time and a lot more distance It’s gonna make baby, up all the difference Between where I’ve been and where I’m gonna go Mile by mile I’m getting Long gone down the road A little more time and a lot more distance It’s gonna make baby, up all the difference Between where I’ve been and where I’m gonna go Mile by mile I’m getting Long gone down the road Down the road Down the road Yeah

How Blue 03:21
You keep tellin' me I got the right stuff Guess you don't think my heart's been knocked around enough You keep actin' like you haven't won yet, Tell me, just how blue do I have to get How blue do I have to get How blue, do you want me to be Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea How long, do you think it'll take Before I'm drowning in another heartache Is there another color I haven't been through One step closer to you Tell me how blue You tell me life is for the lucky and love is just the same Got to take a little gamble if you want to win the game When I'm walkin' on the wire, you're gonna pull the net How blue do I have to get How blue do I have to get How blue, do you want me to be Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea How long, before you're sure That I'm just the fool you've been takin' me for You tell me you hate to see me cry But sometimes I think that you lie Well I used to think I could turn it around Keep my head above water, and my feet on the ground Suddenly I'm slipping out of view How blue, do you want me to be Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea How long, do you think it'll take Before I'm drowning in another heartache Is there another color I haven't been through One step closer to you Tell me how blue (how blue) Tell me how blue (how blue)

Baby, I think you know what I mean We’re frayed at the seams and we’re feeling the strain and lately, how come it’s not enough We used to be wrapped up in love I could hardly wait back then To be tangled in your arms again But now, we’re just a little undone Just a little undone Baby now, we’re just a little undone Just a little undone Tell me, do you feel that ache A little bit of love, a little bit of hate And baby, we know what words can do We push too hard, and they cut right through Starts with just a tear and then Nothing’s left but a few loose ends And now, we’re just a little undone Just a little undone Baby now, we’re just a little undone Just a little undone Well I know you can’t tie everyone down But what do we do if it all comes unwound? Cause now, we’re just a little undone Just a little undone Oh baby now, we’re just a little undone Just a little undone Oh baby now, we’re just a little undone Just a little undone Yeha oh baby now, we’re just a little undone Just a little undone And oh baby now, we’re just a little undone Just a little undone Baby now, we’re just a little undone Just a little undone

I Blame Love 04:02
Why do people shake their heads when heartache happens Wondering what went wrong, what’s that about Everybody says it’s complicated They can say I’m crazy But I believe I’ve got it figured out I blame love, I blame tenderness What’s happened to me, I can’t explain unless I blame love, it got me into this For promising me heaven, just to kill me with a kiss I blame love I see others lose and look, for explanations Like it’s all some great big mystery Finding fault and blaming one another Lots of theories out there, but here’s the only one that works for me I blame love, I blame tenderness What’s happened to me, I can’t explain unless I blame love, it got me into this For promising me heaven, just to kill me with a kiss I blame love Maybe I’m just crazy, but I believe I got it figured out I blame love, I blame tenderness If I had no heart I wouldn’t be in this mess I blame love, my nemesis It promised me heaven Then gave me this I blame love and I claim innocence What’s happened to me I can’t explain unless I blame love And tenderness The devil’s in the details, but most of all I guess I blame love For all of this If I had no heart I wouldn’t be in this mess I blame love, my nemesis What’s happened to me (I blame love) Oh, kill me with a kiss Oh, tenderness I blame love, for all of this

When I was young and heaven-sent It never mattered where I went I never knew back then a wound that wouldn’t heal I never walked in Potter’s Field But now the years have come and gone And still I find myself alone Seems all the dreams I had were somehow trampled on And all the stars I wished upon Do you know the way to Potter’s Field I only stood on the edge, as a child It’s just another place, you can vanish with no trace Stretching out for miles and miles My father’s hands are empty now They can’t recall he held a plow But I remember how he laughed to see his greatest yield With his back to Potter’s Field And all the times when I was lost It always seemed too far to cross I can see clearly now, the edge and far beyond Not endless, as it was when I was young Do you know the way to Potter’s Field I only stood on the edge, as a child It’s just another place You can vanish with no trace Stretching out for miles and miles and miles Do you know the way to Potter’s Field (stretching out for miles and miles) Do you know the way to Potter’s Field (stretching out for miles and miles) Do you know the way to Potter’s Field (stretching out for miles and miles) Do you know the way to Potter’s Field

You were so certain from the start You built your dreams around my heart I had some; I couldn’t wait And I was young, so I ran away To go dancing Dancing To go dancing on the moon Now I’ve seen stars that shine so bright And some were just reflected light Still somehow, they don’t compare to you And I’m sorry now I never asked you to Go dancing Dancing To go dancing on the moon ah, ah, ah Life is all hard choices and it’s living with the ones you made I just heard other voices But I still wonder What if I had stayed Here’s a secret left untold I never wanted to grow old But time will come for you and me Even though it’s only in my dreams We’ll go dancing Dancing We’ll go dancing on the moon Ah ah Oh oh woah oh Mmh mmh mhh Mmh mmh mhh Mmh mmh mhh Mmh mmh mhh

It's the way of life in the real West 'Neath the Prairie moon that's Heaven blessed And a tall boot shuffle on a wooden floor It's a clean white shirt on a Saturday night And a long cool beer that's pure delight And if you heard me say it, there's a whole lot more It's the way of life in the real West I'm a city girl, but I must confess I'd be a cowboy angel and I know what for It's the way of life in the real West Where your time is yours when the sun sets And the stars rise up to light the western sky Laredo up north to Cimarron If I'm lost, you know I've gone To where the spurs that jingle, are the working kind It's the way of life in the real West And if I were a man, I guess I'd ride and rope and wrangle 'til the day I die It's the way of life in the real West I'm a city girl but I must confess I'd be a cowboy angel and I know what for It's the way of life in the real West Where your time is yours when the sun sets And the stars rise up to light the western sky It's the way of life in the real West I'm a city girl but I must confess I'd be a cowboy angel and I know what for It's the way of life in the real West Where your time is yours when the sun sets And the stars rise up to light the western sky And the stars rise up to light the western sky Yodelehehehe

You haven’t seen that part of me yet No, you haven’t seen that part of me yet You don’t know me But I know if you did You’d laugh at my jokes Be impressed with my wit You’d remember The day we met And I’d be someone you’d never forget But you haven’t seen that part of me yet No, you haven’t seen that part of me yet If my love Seems safe and routine Not that walk on the wild side Like you’d think you need You’d be surprised How far out there I’d get I’ve got tricks up my sleeve and I’m willing to bet You haven’t seen that part of me yet No, you haven’t seen that part of me yet Sometimes I wonder if you see me at all I’ve been right here, loving you all along Waiting and hoping you’ll see who I am The fire beside you, a forever friend You haven’t seen that part of me yet No, you haven’t seen that part of me yet If my heart Seems further away And my touch feels different than it did yesterday If you believe I’m just a little upset And you think I won’t leave and leave you to regret You haven’t seen that part of me yet When you lay down at night, alone in your bed There’ll be pictures of me playing on in your head The sound of my laugh, or something I said Will cut like the truth with a knife of regret You haven’t seen that part of me yet No, you haven’t seen that part of me yet You haven’t seen that part of me yet No, you haven’t seen that part of me yet

Time 03:43
Who knows why the wind blows Who knows where it ends Who can say how long it takes to come around again I guess you had to ride it As far as you could go It might bring you back this way Time only knows But time doesn’t hear And time doesn’t care Time doesn’t wait No, time isn’t fair Time is a healer Time is a thief Everything it steals it keeps It just moves on down the line ‘Till there’s nothing left behind But time Who knows all the reasons why Two people drift apart I used to always feel you here Right up against my heart The wind can change direction Baby, you could change your mind I could learn to heal this heart in time But time doesn’t hear And time doesn’t care Time doesn’t wait No, time isn’t fair Time is a healer Time is a thief Everything it steals it keeps It just moves on down the line Time doesn’t hear No, time doesn’t care Time doesn’t wait No, time isn’t fair Time moves too slowly Time slips away There’s not a thing time won’t betray It just moves on down the line ‘Till there’s nothing left behind But time Ooh time, we had so much time Ooh time, we had so much time Ooh time

Give me half a chance at a little romance I could be a fool for love But you got an iron hand Hidden in your velvet glove Wish I had a dime, for every time You turned my heart around But oh no, don’t you know You can’t put a good girl down This is me leavin’, leavin’ while I got my pride This is me leavin’, you can take the tears I cried There are some horses, baby that you just can’t ride This is me leavin’, leavin’ while I’m still alive Well you came along and put the saddle on Baby you were sittin’ tall My, my you were up so high Maybe it’s your turn to fall Used to be you hung the moon for me You hung it all over town But oh no, don’t you know You can’t put a good girl down This is me leavin’, leavin’ while I got my pride This is me leavin’, you can take the tears I cried There are some horses, baby that you just can’t ride This is me leavin’, leavin’ while I’m still alive This is me leavin’, leavin’ while I got my pride This is me leavin’, you can take the tears I cried There are some horses, baby that you just can’t ride This is me leavin’, leavin’ while I’m still alive This is me leavin’ (Don’t try to turn my heart around, no) This is me leavin’ (Yeah I’m leavin’ you behind) This is me leavin’, leavin’ while I’m still alive This is me leavin’

Do The Math 05:00
One by one the lights all fail Current comes to no avail And one by one the rooms fade to black The clock chimes dinner time there’s no going back Two by two, we unite and unglue One wants old, one needs new Two by two, ties lose their hold The clocks chimes dinner time and hearts growing cold Never learned to do the math right Sometimes it adds up and later it divides And never learned the sum of two hearts The clock chimes dinner time and we dine apart One and one, sometimes equals one Two and two, sometimes equal one One and one, are one when love is fun Two and two, stay ones when love is done I will sing, but math I will not do Till one and one are one, but can still be two And till one and one are one, but can still be two And till the clock chimes dinner time and till I dine with you And till I dine with you And till I dine with you

In a house we’d never seen A town somewhere between We packed up all your things All your boxes and your books We packed them up for good We gave the rest to charity We held the service there in your town And strangers came around Offering condolences We scattered ashes in an early frost And watched them all get lost In the fields and fences Seven summers Six months and twenty days I still can’t find a place that’s far enough away Flesh of your flesh Your restless spirit haunts my bones Your blood runs through my veins That’s nothing I can change In seven summers Mama said we’d understand You weren’t the kind of man To have a family What frightened you the most The demons or ghosts Yeah, none of us could see I’d like to think now you’re happy Oh yeah, you’re flying free Under bluer skies Just when I think I’ve left you far behind You’re still here sometimes Looking through my eyes Seven summers Six months and twenty days I still can’t find a place that’s far enough away Flesh of your flesh Your restless spirit haunts my bones Your blood runs through my veins That’s nothing I can change In seven summers Hold on, I can’t change What’s in these veins, in seven summers Yeah hold on, ‘cause I feel strange What’s in these veins, in seven summers Hold on, ‘cause I feel strange Yeah hold on, ‘cause I can’t change What’s in these veins, in seven summers Yeah hold on, ‘cause I feel strange What’s in these veins, in seven summers

Original members Sherry Rayn Barnett (lead guitar), Suzanna Spring (lead vocals/guitar) and Holly Montgomery (bass/vocals) are joined by Aubrey Richmond (fiddle/vocals) and Suzanne Morissette (drums/percussion/vocals). ... more
