- Terri Clark - "I Wanna Do It All"
(Rick Giles, Gill Godard and Tim Nichols)
I'm sittin' in traffic for the fifth year in a row,
Wastin' my time just to get where I don't even wanna go.
I started jottin' things down on a "Crispy Cream" sack:
Everything I'd do if I could leave this place an' never look back.
I wanna do it all:
Visit Paris in the Fall; watch the Yankees play ball;
I wanna take it all in.
Catch a few beads down at Mardi Gras;
Start a tradition, lay down the law:
I wanna do it all.
I wanna drink Tequila down in Tijuana,
Say: "Why not?" when someone says: "Hey, do you wanna?"
I wanna get my heart broke once or twice.
Settle down with the love of my life, rock little babies to sleep at night.
I wanna do it all:
Visit Paris in the Fall; watch the Yankees play ball;
I wanna take it all in.
Catch a few beads down at Mardi Gras;
Start a tradition, lay down the law:
I wanna do it all.
I wanna spend a day, every now and then,
Just doin' what I wanna do when I wanna do it. (I wanna do it all.)
Any time I wanna do it. (I wanna do it all.)
I wanna do it all:
Visit Paris in the Fall; watch the Yankees play ball;
I wanna take it all in.
Catch a few beads down at Mardi Gras;
Start a tradition, lay down the law.
I wanna do it all.
See Niagara Falls; bite City Hall;
Feel good in my skin.
Beatin' the odds with my back to the wall;
Try to rob Peter without payin' Paul,
I wanna do it all.
I wanna do it all.
I wanna do it all
- Terri Clark - "I Just Wanna Be Mad"
(Kelly Lovelace and Lee Thomas Miller)
Last night we went to bed not talkin',
'Cause we'd already said too muh.
I faced the wall, you faced the window.
Bound and determined not to touch.
We've been married seven years now.
Sometimes it feels like 21.
I'm still mad at you this mornin'.
Coffee's ready if you want some.
I've been up since five, thinkin' bout me and you.
And I've got to tell you the conclusion I've come to.
I'll never leave, I'll never stray.
My love for you will never change.
But I ain't ready to make up.
We'll get around to that.
I think I'm right, I think you're wrong.
I'll prob'ly give in before long.
Please don't make me smile.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
Well, now you might as well forget it.
Don't run your fingers through my hair.
Yeah, that's right, I'm bein' stubborn.
No, I don't wanna go back upstairs.
I'm gonna leave for work without a goodbye kiss.
But as I'm drivin' off, just remember this.
I'll never leave, I'll never stray.
My love for you will never change.
But I ain't ready to make up.
We'll get around to that.
I think I'm right, I think you're wrong.
I'll prob'ly give in before long.
Please don't make me smile.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
I'll never leave, I'll never stray.
My love for you will never change.
But I ain't ready to make up.
We'll get around to that.
I think I'm right, I think you're wrong.
I'll prob'ly give in before long.
Please don't make me smile.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
- Terri Clark - "Three Mississippi"
(Angelo, Hillary Lindsey and Troy Verges)
I used to believe that things would change but here we go again
Riding a spinning carousel: this circle never ends.
This kitchen table has seen it all before.
These walls are tired of standing; can't hold us anymore.
One: Mississippi, I close my eyes.
Two: Mississippi, I'm beggin' you that we can still survive.
Three: Mississippi, no lookin' back.
Gone for good and I know that,
I won't change my mind,
Oh, yeah, three, Mississippi is where I'm at tonight.
We're all out of second chances and all out of "one more times".
There's not a word we haven't said; nothing we have not tried.
My bones are aching from the weight I'm holding down.
I took all that I'm taking; I'm breaking, breaking down.
One: Mississippi, I close my eyes.
Two: Mississippi, I'm beggin' you that we can still survive.
Three: Mississippi, no lookin' back.
Gone for good and I know that,
I won't change my mind,
Oh, yeah, three, Mississippi is where I'm at tonight.
Hold my breath, close my eyes.Goodbye.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa:
One: Mississippi, I close my eyes.
Two: Mississippi, I'm beggin' you that we can still survive.
Three: Mississippi, no lookin' back.
Gone for good and I know that,I won't change my mind:
No, I won't change my mind,Three, Mississippi is where I'm at tonight.
Three, Mississippi.
Three, Mississippi.
- Terri Clark - "Girls Lie Too"
(Tim Nichols, Connie Harrington and Kelley Lovelace)
So she can't go out tonight again:
Her sister's sick, she's gotta baby-sit.
Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good excuse.
Now you didn't hear any of this from me,
But things aren't always what they seem.
Brace yourself, this may come as a shock to you.
Girls lie too,
An' we don't care how much money you make,
Or what you drive or what you weigh:
Size don't matter anyway.
Girls lie too:
Don't think you're the only ones,
Who bend it, break it, stretch it some.
We learn from you,
Girls lie too.
We can't wait to hear about your round of golf.
We love to see deer heads hanging on the wall,
An' we like Hooter's for their hotwings too.
Other guys never cross our minds.
We don't wonder what it might be like.
How could it be any better than it is with you?
Girls lie too,
An' we don't care how much money you make,
Or what you drive or what you weigh:
Size don't matter anyway.
Girls lie too:
Don't think you're the only ones,
Who bend it, break it, stretch it some.
We learn from you,
Girls lie too.
Yeah, girls lie too:
We always forgive and forget.
The cards and flowers you never sent,
Will never be brought up again.
Girls lie too.
Old grey sweatpants turn us on.
We like your friends and we love your mom.
And that's the truth,
Girls lie too.
Yeah that's the truth,
Girls lie too.
No, we don't care how much hair you have.
Yeah, that looks good!
Comb it over like that.
Oh.
- Terri Clark - "She Didn't Have Time"
He said: "Goodbye" from the edge of the porch,
Like she'd been some casual friend.
He said: "You're better off without me, I'm not what you need,"
Like her Momma had said about him.
He started the car, pulled out of the drive,
Didn't waste any time lookin' back.
She watched him go, thinkin': "Even a stranger,
Would show more compassion than that."
She could've cried but she didn't have time:
She had a baby to feed, a pink blanket to find.
To rock their little one to sleep.
She could've laid in bed for hours,
Given misery the power,
But she didn't have time.
She got a sitter, an' she got a job,
'Cause she had a promise to keep.
Her day was a factory an' evenin' survival,
An' night was exhaustion and sleep.
Sometimes she felt life was passin' her by,
And watchin' was all she could do.
Her friends said: "You gotta get outta the house,
"An' maybe you'll meet someone new."
She could've tried but she didn't have time:
She had a five-year-old to feed,
She had ballet class, piano lessons a t-ball little league.
She could've laid awake for hours,
Given lonely nights the power,
But she didn't have the time.
Not time: where would she find the time to trust a man again?
Not time: for that flat tire, a crowded parking lot and then,
Not time but, yes, have coffee with the man who got her tired fixed.
She was thinkin': "Gosh, he's handsome,"
When he asked: "Do you have kids."
She could've lied but she didn't have time.
All she said was: "She's five."
He said: "I saw the car seat I love kids. Does she have your eyes?"
And they sat and talked for hours,
Givin' destiny it's power,
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night,
But she didn't have time.
She could've been afraid to fall in love that night,
But she didn't have time.
