"Have Heart Live Young" album lyrics written by: Brittany Shane
ONE STATION
He walks with pride
She talks with sighs
Stand side by side
He can’t see how she cries
Cooks for the lads
Quick turns turn fast
Reads job here ads
Draws her dreams on check pads
Tune to the room on one station
Turn your radio loud you can feel sensation
Tune to the room on one station
Turn your stereo loud it’s a new creation
Hangs clothes on hooks
“Sweet Dreams or Crooks?”
He walks in to look
Finds her deep in love books
Tune to the room on one station
With your radio loud you can feel sensation
Tune to the room on one station
Turn your stereo loud it’s a new creation
One heart one life
One right to fight
To start or strike?
Please don’t hurt me with no sight
Tune to the room on one station
With your radio loud you can feel sensation
Tune to the room on one station
Turn your stereo loud it’s a new creation
HAVE HEART LIVE YOUNG
Sitting in his favorite chair
Listening to the radio blare
Country Roads is playing on the oldies again
Writing daughters on the coast
While he eats his dry wheat toast
Waving to the neighbors
It’s Monday again
It’s a cold year but it’s warm here
A real shame that we run
Have heart live young
An old song that we sung
have heart live young
Laughing kids pouring in
White with snow and frost bit chins
Hungry for a donut
Day olds again
He can’t help but love the scene
Coffee swirling with the cream
Talking to the neighbors
Let’s do it again
It’s a cold year but it’s warm here
A real shame that we run
Have heart live young
An old song that we sung
have heart live young
PRETTY SKY
Crashing down through the hall
Watching lighting on the wall
Outside he’s calling come and fly
Too bad he’s falling from the sky
Sparkle now in my mind
Catch the glow a second time
Thinks he’s the answer to a cry
Then how come I’m smiling tonight
I looked away just in time
Who needs your rain when I’ve got my own pretty sky?
The night has changed
Something warm and bright
Who needs your flame when I’ve got my own pretty light?
Crashing lighting cause a grin
My favorite color is coming in
Outside he’s watching our worlds divide
Stands like a fool
Can’t come inside
I looked away just in time
Who needs your rain when I’ve got my own pretty sky?
The night has changed
Something warm and bright
Who needs your flame when I’ve got my own pretty light?
I feel the rain
I feel the sun
I feel the change
I’m moving on
I looked away just in time
Who needs your rain when I’ve got my own pretty sky?
The night has changed
Something warm and bright
Who needs your flame when I’ve got my own pretty light?
DREAM BABY DREAM
She puts on her makeup
Smiles as she wakes up
It’s gonna be good
A passion to be famous
Working as a waitress
She’d shine if she could
Cause she knows that it all works out
If you glow there’s no doubt
So turn it on and
Dream baby dream
All night long
You stay strong
and reach for the morning
Dream baby dream
All day long
Sing your song
And keep on dreamin’
It’s a life in shambles
Takin’ all the gambles
She holds her head high
Photos like Monroe
Shoes and dreams to go
She thinks she can fly
Cause she knows she can have it all
It’s the gold
It’s worth the fall
So turn it on and
Dream baby dream
All night long
You stay strong
and reach for the morning
Dream baby dream
All day long
Sing your song
And keep on dreamin’
Cause she knows she can have it all
It’s the gold
It’s worth the fall
So turn it on and
Dream baby dream
All night long
You stay strong
and reach for the morning
Dream baby dream
All day long
Sing your song
And keep on dreamin’
And keep on dreamin’
And keep on dreamin’
Dream baby dream all night long
You stay strong all night long
SOMEDAY
Melting skylines as you paint time
All that you want to do
Taking new height as you learn flight
All that you want to do
Watching airplanes, making clouds rain
All that you want to do
Crossing over colored boulders
All that you want to do
And it’s all that I want for you
Someday, Someday I’ll run back to you
Feel the flame, feel the flame as I walk on through
You’ll be standing by the back screen door
Waiting for the sun to pour
And see that blue
Shooting colors at the others
All that you want to do
Laughing at scenes made for our dreams
All that you want to do
And it’s all that I want for you
Someday, Someday I’ll run back to you
Feel the flame, feel the flame as I walk on through
You’ll be standing by the back screen door
Waiting for the sun to pour
And see that blue
Pale icy blue eyes
I see you’re wise
Someday, Someday I’ll run back to you
Feel the flame, feel the flame as I walk on through
You’ll be standing by the back screen door
Waiting for the sun to pour
And see that blue
See that blue
See that blue
MOVE INTO LIGHT
Look up my sparkling star
The room has moved around us
We must stay where we are
I’m out on the balcony
Looking down on you
Please show me the sight
Move into light
Move into light
Move into light
It’s been so long since I’ve called for you
Now that you’re here I long for you
I want to see what used to burn in me
Please show me the sight
Move into light
Move into light
Move into light
Move into light
Move into light
Move into light
And shine
OVER YOUR SHOULDER
When I wake me up
In the afternoon
When I wipe the mud
From last night’s doom
When I see what’s mine
You’ll know it too
Gonna be my boy
When I sit near you
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
When you take me out
In the dusk we roam
I’m the girl with a dog
I need a ride home
I can see it all
You’re in it too
I’ve got the goods
Take it through
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
I left it all
I traveled long
This is my home
Where the kids belong
We’re on the street
We’re on the steps
We’re on the block
Leave if you’re upset
Oh it’s so hard trying to make it good all the time cause I just really want to live it up and have some fun you know what I’m saying?
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
Over your shoulder
BETTER
Woke up in the morning with a tear in my eye
Counted my horses
Turned my face to the sky
Cold and I’m only a mile from my bed
Rode along towards the light up ahead
Miles and miles to the day
Won’t be long until I find my way
Things will get better
Might be the rain will just blow on by
And get better
Knocked on the door in my little sundress
Nobody answered
I walked into confess
Mom be my friend tonight
I can see the fear in your eyes
Better
Things will get better
Might be the rain will just blow on by
And get better
Better
Things will get better
Might be the rain will just blow on by
And get better
Rolled with the money
Sold my friends for free
Told all the girls that they’ll get what they need
Might be the way that you just learn to fly
Better
Things will get better
Might be a way that you just learn to fly
And get better
Better
Things will be better
Might be the rain will just blow on by
And get better
Only a mile from my bed
On to the light up ahead
Might be the way that you said
ONLY SUNDAY
So
I’m not your pot of gold
Not your diamond in the snow
But I can shine
Told I shouldn’t even try
You’ve got adventure in your eyes
Might call me when you’re home
This is only Sunday
We barely made the news
Couldn’t wait just one day
This is only one way
We barely were brand new
Couldn’t wait just one day
Try
You’re not so far behind
I know it’s all inside
Cause I’ve seen you watch big skies
Oh, I
I’m running from behind
Trying to make you right
But no one runs with you
This is only Sunday
We barely made the news
Couldn’t wait just one day
This is only one way
We barely were brand new
Couldn’t wait just one day
Only Sunday
Only Sunday
Only Sunday
NEW YEAR’S EVE
There’s snow on the street
Everybody come see
I remember when we met on New Year’s Eve
Everybody packed in
A house in Madison
But it was really just you and me
And the lights went low
There was nowhere else to go
But in your arms
Where we may never be found
May never be found
We ran fast into the snow
It covered all of us like ghosts
On a winter flight to a warmer home
And the lights went low
There was nowhere else to go
But in your arms
Where we may never be found
May never be found
On a winter flight to a warmer home
The winter night is shining
Endless white is winding
We’re on a flight above the snow
And the lights go low
There was nowhere else to go
But in your arms
Where we may never be found
May never be found
May never be found
SUNSETS IN BLOOM
Rose from the bay
Covered in day last June
Blue lit gaze and liked to speak of the moon
He liked to pretend that the night wasn’t coming in
And it goes down, down
And it
Sets in bloom
Shame it had to fade
Just getting used to the way we moved
The orange had a way of taking the reds not too soon
We liked to pretend that the night wasn’t coming in
