Broken lyrics - Chely Wright

Why can't you just believe in me?

Not everyone is the enemy

I'm trying hard I swear I am

I'm doin' the best I can

But I'm Broken

Broken

I'm wagin' war up in my head

Last time I loved it 'bout left me dead

And you're no better off 'cause you got burned too

By someone you thought you really knew

Now you're Broken

Broken

You hold a little back in case I leave

That way I can't take all of you

But that guarded part is the part I need

So I don't feel like I'm a fool

Last time that I let somebody in

It really hurt me but that was then

So here we are, just you and me

The sum of all our injuries

Don't try to push me 'cause I might break

Not sure how much of this I can take

So if you otta go, well that's alright too

Guess there's not a lot that we can do

'Cause we're Broken

Broken

You hold a little back in case I leave

That way I can't take all of you

But that guarded part is the part I need

So I don't feel like I'm a fool

Yeah, we're Broken

Baby we're Broken

Heavenly Days lyrics - chely Wright

Heavenly Days

Look at that sky

It could've been rainin'

It could've been dry

It could've been cloudy

It could've been clear

It could've been sunshine

It could've been drear

It could've been so many ways

Heavenly Days

Havenly Days

So what do we do?

Dare to be different

Dare to be true

Bury the treasure

Like we've always done

Or crawl from the wreckage

And walk in the sun

Fannin' the flame 'til it's a blaze

Heavenly Days

Heavenly Days

Look at us now

We're comin' up roses

And takin' a bow

Tennessee tomboy

Feminine girl

Takin' a ride

On the top of the world

Nobody's master

Nobody's slave

Heavenly Days

It's your place in line

It's your right of birth

It's your light to shine

Down on God's green earth

It's your brother's hand

It's your sister's smile

It's your father's plan

For your mother's child

And it's comin' in waves

Heavenly Days

Hang Out In Your Heart lyrics - Chely Wright

Taste me in your morning coffee 

Feel me in the air 

When the sunlight warms your skin 

Baby, think of me 

See me standing there beside you 

When you know that your alone 

And hear our conversations when you breathe 

And baby, 

Tell me where you are 

If I can't make it 

Let me hangout in your heart 

I know you don't really need me, 

But still you opened up 

And I guess that's why this all feels so damn good 

You know I don't need you either 

But we want the want enough 

And if we could deny it 

We probably would 

And baby, 

Tell me where you are 

If I can't make it 

Let me hangout in your heart 

So, I will let the echoes of your laughter 

fill my mind 

and I won't try to fight the drug you are 

And maybe you will welcome for to meet from time to time 

And you just let me hang out in your heart 

Won't you let me hangout in your heart

Notes To The Coroner lyrics - Chely Wright

I hope I haven't been lying here long

I'd say, "I told you so," but I'm long gone

Who called you? Who found me?

Who had to spread the news?

I hope it wasn't my sister

I wrote it down for you in case I didn't survive

In a black notebook right there by my side

Be sure to read it, it'll tell you everything

Go ahead and start from December

These are my notes to the coroner

Clues with no compromise

Notes to the coroner

Details of my demise

You'll wanna take my blod to smear on a slide

But if you just read on you'll know how I died

Terminal sadness, chronic regret

A big ball of pain in pajamas

These are my notes to the coroner

Clues with no compromise

Notes to the coroner

Details of my demise

Palpitations of a broken heart

Triggered my shortness of breath

I lost too much love and then I fell apart

Official cause of my death

Notes to the coroner

Clues with no compromise

Notes to the coroner

Details of my demise

These are my notes to the coroner

Clues with no compromise

Notes to the coroner

Details of my demise

Snow Globe lyrics - Chely Wright

My bellybutton came untied

The elevator turned to stone

I ran with waving arms

Then I lifted off the ground

I took a pill I shouldn't have

I'm not so sorry that I did

'Cause I can't wait to slip out where

I'm lost and can't be found

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

I see my mother, she is young

She doesn't know it's me I guess

We talk about the planets

Then run wildly down the street

The circles and the squares

Are shaking one another's hands

And I'm about to get on stage

But I'm too naked for to sing

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Oh is this a bad dream?

Or the best dream that I've ever had?

And oh what is waiting, beyond the mirror,

Beyond the curtain, 

Beyond what fades into the black?

I'm floating in a snow globe

Being tossed around like glitter

And I think I'm being shot at

So I swing and swing in vain

Apostrophes and commas

They are doing all that they do

Trying to reconcile some truth

In an atmosphere insane

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

Like Me lyrics - Chely wright

Without your glasses you just plain can't see
You favorite color for the most part is green
You're close to your grandma on your mother's side
You can count up on one hand the times you have lied

You won't eat a tomato on a double-dog dare
You don't think you're a beauty but you do like your hair
Your complex and tricky, yet someways you're not
You're up some, you're down some
You're cold and you're hot

And who's gonna end up holdin' your hand-
A beautiful woman or a tall, handsome man?
There's no doubt they'll love you, but it's yet to be seen:
Will anyone ever know you like me?

Will anyone ever know you like me?

You like plantin' flowers, that's heaven to you
Crack open a beer when you're planting through
You'll paint all your toenails if you have time,
while listening to Willie, Dylan and Pride

And who's gonna end up holdin' your hand-
A beautiful woman or a tall, handsome man?
There's no doubt they'll love you, but it's yet to be seen:
Will anyone ever know you like me?

You'd rather make-out then make love all night
You like if your bath is too hot
Your closet is cluttered with dress pants and Levis that you wish you'd never bought

And who's gonna end up holdin' your hand-
A beautiful woman or a tall, handsome man?
There's no doubt they'll love you, but it's yet to be seen:
Will anyone ever know you like me?

Will anyone ever know you like me?

That Train lyrics - Chely Wright

There's no way that I could ever do the things it does

Cradle tons of gravel and the timbers all piled up

Be that as it may I still do wish that I could be-

Made of rivets made of steel,

And built for speed

Hey-hey, hey

Hey-hey, hey

I wanna be that train

I wanna be that free

Hang onto that track is all they'll ever ask of me

Smooth heavy wheels to roll me away

I wanna be that train

I'd get to see the mountains and the planes from coast to coast

Many might adore me but they wouldn't get too close

I'd never be that lonely 'cause my engine and caboose,

Wouldn't leave me, we'd be bound

Yeah, we'd be breakin' loose

Hey-hey, hey

Hey-hey, hey

I wanna be that train

I wanna be that free

Hang onto that track is all they'll ever ask of me

Smooth heavy wheels to roll me away

I wanna be that train

Hey-hey, hey

Hey-hey, hey

Hey-hey, hey

Hey-hey, hey

I wanna be that train

I wanna be that free

Hang onto that track is all they'll ever ask of me

Smooth heavy wheels to roll me away

I wanna be that train

I wanna be that train

I wanna be that...

Train

Damn Liar lyrics - Chely Wright

Does anybody really know you?

Can anybody say they truly do?

You swear that you're a hick retriever

Your limbs are loaded down with rotten fruit

You gotta keep on spinnin' around

Never let your worlds collide

'Cause if we all start talkin' there might be nowhere for you to hide

You're a damn liar

A damn liar

A damn liar

How'd you make it this far

Being a, a damn liar

You damn liar

A damn liar

That's what you are

Don't you find it all confusin'

keeping up with all the tales you tell?

You're scared to death that I'll run into the one before me you put through hell

To you we're all disposable and that's exactly what you do

You just deleted me 'cause I was on to you

You're a damn liar

A damn liar

A damn liar

How'd you make it this far

Being a, a damn liar

You damn liar

A damn liar

That's what you are

You're a damn liar

A damn liar

A damn liar

How'd you make it this far

Bein' a damn liar

Miserable liar

Damn liar

That's what you are

Damn liar

A damn liar

You're a damn liar

How'd you make it this far

Damn liar

You fuckin' liar

You're a damn liar

That's what you are

Wish Me Away lyrics - Chely Wright

Close your eyes squeeze them tight 

I wish I may, I wish I might 

Keep on repeating your little chant 

You might believe it but I just can't 

Wish me away, wish me away 

Keep talking louder that's what you do 

You're just shouting over you 

Trying to ignore the voice inside 

You couldn't be more like a child 

To wish me away, wish me away 

Won't wish, hope, and pray 

Wish me away 

We didn't have an easy time 

but whatever it was it was your's and mine 

it wasn't always perfect or fair 

You don't want it but it's still there 

How's it workin' for you so far? 

Do you feel better the longer we're apart? 

Oh baby love's not like nicotine 

You still see me, don't you, in your dreams 

Wish me away, wish me away 

Won't wish, hope, and pray 

Wish me away 

Wish me away, wish me away 

Won't wish, hope, and pray 

Wish me away

Object Of Your Rejection lyrics - Chely Wright

I'm that little voice inside your head

Look at what you've done to me

You knew all along that you were lying when you said,

All those pretty words and lovely things

You'd really like to be let off the hook

Won't somebody scrub your conscience clean?

But that cannot be done, you'll probably need to see a shrink

No, you can't take a pill to silence me

So I'll keep talkin' and talkin', I swear I won't give you a moments peace

You'll never again have to look my face, but you'll always hear from me

It was so damn easy for you to cut off your affection

So here I am the object of your rejection

Your whole life you've done things just like this

No responsibility, no blame

But you can't always get away treatin' people like shit,

And expect it won't catch up with you someday

So I'll keep talkin' and talkin', I swear I won't give you a moments peace

You'll never again have to look my face, but you'll always hear from me

It was so damn easy for you to cut off your affection

So here I am the object of your rejection

I am your creation

Your the one who trapped me in your brain

Now I'm forced to haunt you

Bet you never thought we'd turn on you this way

So I'll keep talkin' and talkin', I swear I won't give you a moments peace

You'll never again have to look my face, but you'll always hear from me

It was so damn easy for you to cut off your affection

So here I am the object of your rejection

Shadows Of Doubt lyrics - Chely Wright

Lay down your head

On cotton and feathers, so soft

Let go of feelin' alone

Have something that baby you're not

And right now you don't call me friend,

But I'm still here, where I've always been

And even though you don't know it right now,

I'll outlast the shadows of doubt

Yeah, I'm stronger then shadows of doubt

And when you find love again

Yes, baby, I hope that you do

Maybe we won't be in vain

and you'll let me be somethin' to you

And right now you don't call me friend,

But I'm still here where I've always been

And even though you don't know it right now,

I'll outlast the shadows of doubt

Yeah, I'm stronger then shadows of doubt

Lay down your head

On cotton and feathers, so soft

Let go of feelin' alone

Have something that baby you're not...

It's The Song lyrics - Chely Wright

Different day, different town

Set it up to tear it down

Oh I ain't been home in almost fifty days

Houston Baton Rouge

Poor girl's gotta pay her dues

And the speeder bus is always driving away

Oh I love what I do

But I wonder what I do it all for

But when I sing, they sing along

I forget where I am

But I know where I belong

The reason why I'm standing here

It's not the miles

It's not the pay

It's not the show

It's not the fame that makes this home

It's the song

Her birthday was in Alabama

Father's day was in Montana

And on Mother's day I was nowhere near the phone

Every hotel bed feels the same

As the last one where I stayed

And it's bending in my sheet

And falling asleep alone

Oh I love what I do

But I wonder what I do it all for

When I sing, they sing along

I forget where I am

But I know where I belong

The reason why I'm standing here

It's not the miles

It's not the pay

It's not the show

It's not the fame that makes this home

It's the song

Dolly and Loretta

Maybe some Patsy Cline

I'm so lonesome I could cry

But when I sing, they sing along

I forget where I am

But I know where I belong

The reason why I'm standing here

It's not the ride

It's not the name

It's not just staying in the game

It's not the miles

It's not the pay

It's not the show

It's not the fame that makes this home

It's the song

It's the song

I Got Him Ready For You lyrics - Chely Wright

I taught him how to talk to me

I showed him what a woman needs

A hand just to hold in the dark

He used to think it was enough

Sending flowers to show love

Now he knows he's gotta open his heart

And the saddest thing 'bout how it all came down

Is he's not here with me now

I got him ready for you

Look at all the things he can do

You can cry on his shoulder

He might even cry too

He's come a long long way

And it's tragic but true

I guess I've got him ready for you

I wouldn't say I have regrets

'bout the time that we both spent

If the truth be known, I'm a little better too

So when he does the little things, when he treats you like a queen

In a crazy way I'm bearing the rood

Ooh, I feel like I did all the fixing in mud

But you moved into our house of love

I got him ready for you

Look at all the things he can do

You can cry on his shoulder

He might even cry too

He's come a long long way

And it's tragic but true

I guess I've got him ready for you

I don't blame you, I'm not saying you stole him away from me

I just want you to know he's not the man he used to be, yeah

He's come a long long way

And it's tragic but true

I guess I've got him ready for you

I guess I've got him ready for you

The River lyrics - Chely Wright

On a Friday night where I grew up

There ain't a whole lot you can do

The same ole' faces the same ole' places

Ain't nothin' ever new

After the football game we'd hang around

The high school parking lot

Then we'd pile into a couple of cars

And head off to our favorite spot

Down to the river

We went to the river

My Sophomore year was a carbon copy

Of the ones that came before

'Til a night in late November

That shook us all down to the core

We'd won the game by twenty points

Couldn't wait to celebrate

But our lead car was goin' way too fast

They never even hit the breaks

They went into the river

Deep in the river

We buried Laurie Mabrey

In the clothes that she'd been wearin'

Her cheerleader outfit never looked

So out of place

That sweater and that pleated skirt

Of blue and white and crimson

Just didn't belong in that shiny silver case

I moved here to Nashville

On May 12th '89

And I started gettin' letters once a week

From this friend of mine

I'd gone to school with Christine Thuro

From kindergarten on

She'd say hang in there 'cause

I just know you're gonna be a star

She and her boyfriend and a couple of kids

I guess she met through him

Set out for the Marais Des Cygne

To try to cool off by takin' a swim

There'd been a lot of rain that summer

And the current was too strong

I heard that they did all they could

But Christine she was gone

Into the river

She died there in the river

I was baptized in that same water

Gave my soul to Jesus

How can such a peaceful place

Be filled with so much pain

'Cause two young mothers lost their daughters

Right there for no reason

I swear I'll never go down there again

Back to the river

That mean ole' river

That beautiful river

That damn ole' river

That damn ole' river

Just The Way We Do It lyrics - Chely Wright

We don't ever stay mad for long and I

Guess I've always liked that 'bout us

We usually end up on the floor laughin'

Makin' fun of whatever it was

Passions run high

And it might seem like sometimes

We don't get along (but)

Baby that's just the way we do it

Fight a little bit but we get through it

Lovin' like this you hold on to it

Baby that's just the way we do it

If we hold back on what we're feelin' we

Run the danger of growin' apart

Everybody knows that's how love goes from

Good to bad in the beat of a heart

As long as we talk

Nobody's walkin' out

Right or wrong

Baby that's just the way we do it

Fight a little bit but we get through it

When you got it like this you hold on to it

Baby that's just the way we do it

Bumper Of My SUV lyrics - Chely Wright

I've got a bright red sticker on the back of my car

Says United States Marines

And yesterday a lady in a mini-van held up a middle finger at me

Does she think she knows what I stand for

Or the things that I believe

Just by looking at a sticker for the U.S. Marines

On the bumper of my SUV

See, my brother Chris, he's been in for more than 14 years now

Our dad was in the Navy during Vietnam

Did his duty then he got out

And my grandpa earned his purple heart

On the beach of Normandy

That's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines

On the bumper of my SUV

But that doesn't mean that I want war

I'm not Republican or Democrat

But I've gone all around this crazy world

Just to try and better understand

Yes, I do have questions

I get to ask them because I'm free

That's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines

On the bumper of my SUV

'Cause I've been to Hiroshima

And I've been to the DMZ

I've walked on the sand in Baghdad

Still don't have all of the answers I need

But I guess I wanna know where she's been

Before she judges and gestures to me

'Cause she don't like my sticker for the U.S. Marines

On the bumper of my SUV

So I hope that lady in her mini-van

Turns on her radio and hears this from me

As she picks up her kids from their private school

And drives home safely on our city streets

Or to the building where her church group meets

Yeah, that's why I've got a sticker for the U.S. Marines

On the bumper of my SUV

Your Shirt lyrics - Chely Wright

There's a rip in the elbow of the left sleeve

And one button doesn't match

You sewed that one on yourself

And at the time it made me laugh

It's frayed on the collar it's so old and faded out blue

And I'll never wash it 'cause

It smells so exactly like you

When you left it I'm sure

You didn't think twice about it

But the irony is that I can't live without it

I wear your shirt like it's your arms around me

I put it on and you just surround me

It's so soft on my skin

Like the touch of your hands

So good it hurts

I should burn it I know

Tear it up I'm this close

But for the moment I just can't let go

Of your shirt

It keeps me warm when I sleep

And those nights I don't

It keeps me company

I've got it on in the mornings having coffee

And after work when I'm watching TV

It's my comfort it's my torture and yes I realize

It's just some worn out old fabric

But it's my consolation prize

And I'd be a wreck in a New York minute

If I think too long of how you held me in it

I wear your shirt like it's your arms around me

I put it on and you just surround me

It's so soft on my skin

Like the touch of your hands

So good it hurts

I should burn it I know

Tear it up I'm this close

But for the moment I just can't let go

Of your shirt

Your shirt I love your shirt
