Check Engine Light

My check engine light was on
When I reached the rio grande
We hadn’t been gone long
But I wished I had a van
I sure wished I had a van
My little Pontiac gets me
Where I need to go
From point a to point b
Like New York to El Paso
New York to El Paso
We left north Caroline
Thinking we were in the clear
But that little orange light
followed us down here
It followed us down here
We saw New Orleans
And We saw the end of the world
But out in Joshua tree
It was all instagram girls
Drove from coast to coast
Saw our country critically
Seeking as do most
Some authenticity
A little authenticity

We Haven't Been Talking

We haven’t been talking much these days
I haven’t been keeping up with you
But I won’t take all the blame cause the phone works both ways
We haven’t been talking much these days
You never did like my country songs
Never wanted to just sit and play
Now I’m going out and finding friends that sing along
You never did sing my country songs
I’ve been singing with you my whole life
Songs for two of misery and strife
Never could see eye to eye or brave a heart to heart
Your silence cut me like knife
We sat outside late one summer night
Drinking too much beer and talking shit
waiting for something that would make everything alright
We only sat out late one summer night
I got you a birthday gift last fall
Its gift wrapped in pink bag in my room
Never thought to mention it you never thought to call
I’ve still got that birthday gift from fall
I spent my whole winter here at home
You drove past my house four times a week
Driving down to see the ocean you left me alone
I liked my whole winter here at home
I’ve been singing with you my whole life
Songs for two of misery and strife
Never could see eye to eye or brave a heart to heart
Your silence cut me like knife
But I feel like I’m not missin’ you
Oh I feel more magenta I’m not blue

Whole New Homesick
04:22

I'm so sick of being scared of everyone I haven't met
I'm so sick of being scared but I'm not giving up on them just yet
I've been staying home I do the same things every night
I've been staying home and some nights it feels like I'm alright
It's a whole new homesick
When it's a feeling not a face
It's a whole new homesick
When it's a people not a place
There's so many days I wish that I could just check out
So many of those days but I won't let 'em keep me down
There's a little voice inside that tells me it's not worth the fight
There's that little voice inside but I won't let it ever see the light
It's a whole new homesick
When it's a feeling not a face
It's a whole new homesick
When it's a people not a place
I'm so sick of being scared of everyone I haven't met
I'm so sick of being scared but I'm not giving up on them just yet
It's a whole new homesick
When it's a feeling not a face
It's a whole new homesick
When it's a people not a place
Do a little each day
Do a little each day

Last night when I left with so much left unsaid
You shouldn’t have let me go
I never thought I would be one of those guys
Well, look at me now
Please say you lied, I didn’t say goodbye
And I guess now I won’t
I go too far, cause I never feel on par
Can I still take it back?
Please don’t say we’re growing old
I’ll run away from the cold
Please don’t say we’re growing old
I already feel it on my own
Last night when you left with so much left unsaid
I shouldn’t have let you go

Gold Watch & Chain

Oh, I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again
Darling, how could I stay here without you
I have nothing to ease my poor heart
This old world would seem sad love without you
Tell me now that we never will part.
I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again
Take back all the gifts you have given
A diamond ring and a lock of your hair
And a card with your picture upon it
It's a face that is false but it's fair
Oh, I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again
Oh, the white rose that blooms in the garden
It grows with the love of my heart
It broke through on the day that I met you
It will die on the day that we part.
Oh, I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain love
And I'll pawn you my gold wedding ring
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom
Only say that you'll love me again

You have no idea how good you have it made
When you have it made too good
You forget how hard and noisy life can be
When you pay for privacy and then you get it
Tree lined roads full of overpriced cars
Some days i miss my innocence
I wish i thought this was all there is but i know better now
False green fields poison waterways
But look so good from the street
There’s no sign of defeat in a delusion
I remember so many better Junes than this
I want other water running over my skin
But a promise to myself is so easy to break
Yeah the promise to yourself is the easiest to break
You have no idea how good you have it made
When you have it made too good
You forget how bright and noisy life can be
But you paid for privacy and now you got it

Gas Station Waltz

Why’d you have to go and leave me all alone
With nothing but our inside jokes
Why’d you leave me starry eyed and flat broke
All my plans turned to smoke
Well I can tell you what I know
And I can share all that I own
A five dollar hat, a full tank of gas, and a free cup of coffee to go
I will always sing your favorite beach boys song
And I’ll sing this fake honky tonk
Rolled down the window and let my hair tangle
If it means that you’ll sing a long
Well I can tell you what I know
And I can share all that I own
A five dollar hat, a full tank of gas, and a free cup of coffee to go
Well I can tell you what I know
And I can share all that I own
A five dollar hat, a full tank of gas, and a free cup of coffee to go

1968

90 minutes from manhattan
I was born in 96
I grew up on the east end
And it sure felt like the sticks
But I miss the laurel canyon
Of 1968
They left new york city
But I’m 50 years too late
When I was a young girl
I got on my first plane
Down to Huntsville, Alabama
I could barely spell my name
Now I miss the crescent city
And the magic in the air
Oh, life was slow and easy
The one night I spent there
Now I have friends in Bushwick
A few in Jersey too
But they all work too much now
Like rent is always due
But I miss Greenwich village
And playing old folk songs
Planning the resistance
Long before my folks were born
I miss cities I’ve never been to
And friends I’ve never met
Romanticize and daydream
It’ll all come round again

Spent

Spending all my time outside
Spending all my cash on beer
And I know that it’s silly
And I know it’s not fair
I don’t know how to tell you I’m not prepared
Watch the light change in the street (watch the light)
Wanting life to change its pace (wanting life to change its pace)
And I know that it’s petty
And I know it’s not right
I don’t know how to tell you I just can’t fight
Never meant to stay so long (stay so long)
Never want to be the same (never meant to stay the same)
And I know that it’s over
And I know that it’s done
I don’t know how to tell you you’re not the one
And I know that it’s over
And I know that it’s done
I don’t know how to tell you you’re not the one

On our wedding night
He looked me in the eye
Said I was the only one for him
But now he's gone away
And I'm sitting here
All alone
He used to be so sweet
He'd never let me cry
Now he's the only reason for these tears
But he left me no choice
And I'm sitting here
All alone
I did my best to keep out of trouble
But the soon and moon don't shine on him no more
They thought I'd never know
I'd never guess the truth
A girl like me too dumb to know the difference
But now he's dead and gone
And I'm sitting here
All alone
I did my best to keep out of trouble
But the soon and moon don't shine on him no more
He made me look a fool
He left me in a fit
I left his body down by the river
I bare no guilt or shame
And I'm sitting here
All alone
I did my best to keep out of trouble
But the soon and moon don't shine on him no more
I hope that God forgives
All my other sins
Cause this appeared to me only right
But if God no longer loves me
I'll still be sitting here
All alone
I did my best to keep out of trouble
But the soon and moon don't shine on him no more

You'll Still Adore Me

Will you tell me
That you’ll still love me
When I no longer grant your wish
When I no longer answer your call
Please tell me that I’ll have your love
Will you tell me
You’ll listen for me
When I no longer stand up here
When I no longer stand before you
Please tell me that I’ll have your love
Can you tell me
That you’ll still watch me
When I no longer do perform
When I no longer do deserve it
Please tell me that I’ll have your love
Can you tell me
You’ll still adore me
When I no longer sing this song
When I no longer sing it for you
Please tell me that I’ll have your love
