random songs
Snippets of songs I like mixed in with some quotes I've stumbled over while looking for others. All of which make me feel like a girl and be glad that I am one. :)
Settling -- Sugarland
Fifteen minutes left to throw me together
for Mister Right Now, not Mister Forever.
Don't know why I even try when I know how it ends
looking like another "maybe we could be friends"
I've been leaving it up to fate
It's my life so it's mine to make
I ain't settling for just getting by
I've had enough so-so for the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low, so raise the bar high
Just enough ain't enough this time
I ain't settling for anything less than everything, yeah
With some good red wine and my brand new shoes
gonna dance a blue streak around my living room
Take a chance on love and try how it feels
with my heart wide open now you know I will
find what it means to be the girl
Change her mind and change her world

Small Town Girl -- Kellie Pickler
I grew up where I could see the stars
Drinkin' sweet tea from a Mason jar
Dogwood trees like leaves through the pine
People on the porch watchin' fireflies
And drivin 'round the Wal-mart on a Friday night
I'm just a small town girl
And that's all I'll ever be
I'm just a small town girl
Hey, that's alright with me
I'd rather be fishin' with Grandpa on the lake
Then getting all glammed up,
Fake eyelashes on my face
Old blue jeans and a baseball cap
A town so small you don't need a map
That's where I'm from and there ain't no changing me
I'd rather ride in a Chevy truck than a Ferrari
Give me a cheeseburger
I ain't eatin no calamari
Coca-cola and apple pie
Dirt roads and old clothes lines
Familiar faces and dandelion bracelets
You never meet a stranger
And everybody helps out
Soft green grass, Sunday school and wild flowers
Drivin around
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm That Kind of Girl -- Patty Loveless
There's a man in a Stetson hat howlin' like an alley cat
Outside my window tonight
Sayin' Baby put on somethin' hot meet me in the parkin' lot
About a quarter to nine
I get the feeling that he's never read
Romeo and Juliet
I'm gettin' tired of these one night stands
but if you wanna make a real romance
I'm that kinda girl, I'm that kinda girl
I ain't the woman in red, I ain't the girl next door
But if somewhere in the middle's what you're lookin' for
I'm that kinda girl, I'm that kinda girl
Let me tell ya that I like my lovin' just as much as any woman
but I'm drawin' the line
A little sensitivity always seems to get to me
Every time
I'm a sucker for a love sick fool
The kind that carries all your books in school

Trying to Find Atlantis -- Jamie O'Neal
I hear he's out there somewhere
Been looking for him everywhere
From Roswell to Timbucktoo I thought I found him once at a Jiffy Lube
But it turned into a dead end so I got my oil changed and I tried again
He was a major in archeology
I was digging on him but he wasn't on me
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis
It's a mystery like the deep blue sea
You can take it you can leave it but I still believe
So I won't give up and I won't give in
I know I'm gonna find him I just don't know when
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis
I met a mystic down in Memphis we stood at the foot of the pyramid
He had me looking east - He had me looking west
Then he showed me a map and said I wish you the best
There was Elvis not the real one
When told me good bye he called me hun
Just another shot in the dark like Eldorado or Noah's ark
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis

This One's for the Girls -- Martina McBride
This is for all you girls about thirteen
High school can be so rough, can be so mean
Hold onto, onto your innocence
Stand your ground when everybody's giving in
This One's for the Girls
This is for all you girls about twenty-five
In a little apartment just trying to get by
Living on, on dreams and spaghetti o's
Wondering where your life is gonna go
This One's for the Girls
Who's ever had a broken heart
Who's wished upon a shooting star
You're beautiful the way you are
This One's for the Girls
Who love without holding back
Who dream with everything they have
All around the world
This One's for the Girls
This is for all you girls about forty-two
Tossing pennies into the fountain of youth
Every laugh, laugh line on your face
Made you who you are today
Yeah, we're all the same inside
From 1 to 99

Crush -- Lila McCan
You, you might be the one
So let's not rush it, let's not jump the gun
Sometimes love is an illusion
Let's make it clear
Just so there's no confusion
It's just a crush I'm Feelin'
Walkin' on the ceilin'
My whole world's upside down
It's just a crush, I know it
Don't know where we're goin'
But I like it where we are right now
It's too soon to be too much
I'm not ready to call it love
It's just a crush
You, I like you a lot
But I'm not sure if it's meant to be or not
Yeah, you could say
Say were together
But no one's said a word
About the word forever
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Woman's Love
I have felt it
And I have held it
I have known
A woman's love
I have tasted
And I have wasted
A woman's love
And I know
I'll never understand
All the little things
that make It grand
A woman's love
And I know
I'll never come Face to face
With any thing
that takes the Place
Of a woman's love
Well I have kissed it
Tried to resist it
I have missed
A woman's love
And I have hated
Taken for granted
A woman's love
Well I have needed
And I have pleaded
And I have lost
A woman's love
And I have worshipped
And I have cursed it
A woman's love
Well I adore it
Thank God for it
A woman's love
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cowboy, Take Me Away
I said I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow something wild and unruly
I wanna sleep on the hard ground
In the comfort of your arms
On a pillow of blue bonnets
And a blanket made of stars
Oh it sounds good to me I said
Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can
Into the wild blue
Set me free oh I pray
Closer to heaven above and
Closer to you closer to you
I wanna walk and not run
I wanna skip and not fall
I wanna look at the horizon
And not see a building standing tall
I wanna be the only one
For miles and miles
Except for maybe you
And your simple smile
Oh it sounds good to me I said
It sounds so good to me
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Woman in Me -- Shania Twain
I'm not always strong
And sometimes I'm even wrong
But I win when I choose
And I can't stand to lose
But I can't always be
The rock that you see
When the nights get too long
And I just can't go on
The woman in me
Needs you to be
The man in my arms
To hold tenderly
'Cause I'm a woman in love
And it's you I run to
Yeah the woman in me
Needs the man in you
When the world wants too much
And it feels cold and out of touch
It's a beautiful place
When you kiss my face
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I Think About Angels
Why does the color of my coffee match your eyes?
Why do I see you when a stranger passes by?
I swear I hear you in the whisper of the wind
I feel you when the sun is dancin' on my skin
And, when it's raining
You won't find me complainin', 'cause...
When I think about rain
I think about singing
When I think about singing
It's a heavenly tune
When I think about Heaven
Then I think about angels
When I think about angels
I think about you
The taste of sugar sure reminds me of your kiss
I like the way that they both linger on my lips
Kisses remind me of a field of butterflies
Must be the way my heart is fluttering inside
Beautiful distraction
You make ev'ry thought a chain reaction
Anywhere I go
Anything I do
Ev'rything around me, baby
Makes me think of you
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Passenger Seat -- Shedaisy
Passenger side, I slide on in
Vinyl seats soft from the heat of the sun
Chewin' on a Slim Jim, can't stop thinkin' 'bout him
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's the one
Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's the one
Ooh, ooh, ooh, life's so sweet right here in the passenger seat
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, life's so sweet
When I look to my left see his suntanned hands
His muddy river hair and his thousand acre plans
I'm all shook up like a quarter in a can
Ain't life sweet in the passenger seat, yeah
I daydream of me an' a cold cotton pillow
And the feel of his skin
The windowsill smiles and before I know it
I'm miles away a-sittin' next to him
Miles away a-sittin' next to him
Shiftin' those gears, baby, 1, 2, 3
Then he shifts those ocean eyes back to me
Can't imagine a moment any better than this
Then we kiss
