Working on A Heartbreak - Brandon Davis / Andrew Olson / Heidi Owen Straub

V1-
I’m out on the town, ain’t worried ‘bout the shape I’m in
(Ya) I know my friend, I’m in trouble again
That’s just the kind of a girl you find in a place like this
It starts with a kiss, it’s a swing n’ a miss

Pre-
Regretful mistakes
I’m willin’ ta make
Like I’ve made nights before
Like a broken down
Never-go-round
I keep comin’ back for more

Chorus
I’m working on a heartbreak
Out late, spending all my money made
She’s about to wreck my world
She’s a hip shaking, soul quakin’
Leave you by the phone waitin’
Never call you back kinda girl
Ya’, I’m losing my mind
One line at a time
‘Til she starts walking away
Guess you could say I’m a sucker for the pain
Off working on a heartbreak

V2-
I’m wakin’ up in bed with an achin’ head n’ bloodshot eyes
Hey, this house ain’t mine, where the hell am I
Ya’ I’d think by now I’d turn it around and just stay home
But that neon’s on, might as well get gone

Pre-2
There’s always a stool for a stubborn fool
Who just don’t know when ta’ quit
Just huntin’ n’ fishin’ for bad decisions
Looks like one just walked in

CHORUS-2
BR:
Took all my shots
‘Til I ‘bout forgot
The reason that I’m here
Just one look from that hell on heels
And it all ever-clear

Chorus-3
I’m working on a heartbreak
Out late, spending all my money made
She’s about to wreck my world
She’s a hip shaking, soul quakin’
Leave you by the phone waitin’
Never call you back kinda girl
Ya’, I’m losing my mind
One line at a time
‘Til she starts walking away
Guess you could say I’m a sucker for the pain
Ya, you could say I’m a sucker for the pain
Yes, you could say I’m a sucker for the pain
Off working on a heartbreak
Workin’ on a heartbreak
I’m workin’ on a heartbreak

My Better Half
Jason Duke, Les Hauge, Heidi Owen Straub

I sure mixed young with gasoline
If you been young you know what I mean
Breaks are ‘bout the last thing that you think about
I tried to run it off the rails
Between the whiskey and heartbreak trails
I probably should of been six in the ground
Guess the good Lord’s really up there lookin’ out

I’m Getting to the point in life
I never thought I’d live to
The slow it down and take it in
I never thought I’d get to
(Well) Let’s just say by God’s good grace
A hundred’s all I have
I sure am looking forward to
Livin’ my better half

I Think I’ll let some grudges go
Call some old friends and let ‘em know
How much they’ve meant to me along the way
I’ll Take each breath a little deeper
Make sure every kiss is sweeter
Trade some whisky in for lemonade
I’m just sayin’

I’m getting to the point in life
I never thought I’d live to
The slow it down and take it in
I never thought I’d get to
(Well) Let’s just say by God’s good grace
A hundred’s all I have
I sure am looking forward to
Livin’ my better half

Watch a few more sunsets
Dance a few more songs
Smell a few more daisies
Before my days are gone

I’m Getting to the point in life
I never thought I’d live to
The slow it down and take it in
I never thought I’d get to
(Well) Let’s just say by God’s good grace
A hundred’s all I have
I sure am looking forward to
Livin’ my better half
Livin’ my better half

Sexy Texas by Andrew Olson and Heidi Owen Straub

V1
Same bar, same people, ‘nother Friday night when
In walks a Stetson just hits me like lightnin’
Locks on my eyes like he can see right through me
Think to myself, this is the last thing that I need

Pre-Ch
But I might have to make an exception
For that triple digit heat headin’ in my direction

Chorus
Falling for that sexy, Texas
I need a little lesson in reckless
Devil’s whisperin’, “what comes next is
A little mesquite on my lips”
I’m ready for a rodeo
With a big buckle Romeo
Got that sexy, Texas
Sexy Texas

V2
Smell of weathered lived in leather, fillin’ up my senses
Sunburnt neon smile tryna’ ride around my fences
A couple Cuervos later and we’re dancin’ way too close
That's when wishin’ gets to kissin' and I think that we both know

Chorus-2

Bridge
Maybe that cowboy cast a spell
‘Cuz I don’t do this all the time
But what the hell
Your place or mine

Chorus-3
Falling for that sexy, Texas
I need a little lesson in reckless
Devil whisperin’, what comes next is
A little mesquite on my lips
I’m ready for a rodeo
With a big buckle Romeo
Heading for the borderline in a lone star state of mind
Got that Sexy Texas, Sexy Texas
Sexy Texas, Sexy Texas
Sexy Texas

Half Past Lonely – Rebecca Lynn Howard / Heidi Owen Straub / David Pennybaker

V1
This bar stool knows my secrets
And the jukebox plays ‘em loud
Everyone here is livin’ it up
Ya, I could get down with this island crowd
I’m just a couple shots in
And that fresh pain’s startin’ ta’ fade
I almost forgot just why I’m here in the first place

CHORUS
It’s only half past lonely
N’ I’m already lettin’ go of your heart
Fifty, fifty need another whiskey
But where I am’s a real good start
I got just enough of a buzz on
To not care where you are
I’m almost all the way over you
And baby it’s only
Half past lonely

V2
I’m gonna take it nice n’ steady
Ya, I wanna dance here all night long
Don’t wanna feel these scars
‘Cuz I might start rememberin’ what went wrong
I never knew how good a slice o’ pineapple
Goes with a little Jim Beam
I thought it would take forever but, honestly

CHORUS - 2

BR
Half past lonely
Half, half, half past lonely
Past lonely
Half past lonely
Half, half, half past

CHORUS – 3

OUTRO
Half past lonely
Half, half, half past lonely
Past lonely
Half past lonely
Half, half, half past lonely

Twistin’ The Truth by Heidi Owen Straub

Verse 1
Rumors swirlin’ ‘round that you found the one
Got the big question on the tip o’ your tongue
You pick out the ring n’ make a spare key
‘Cept, she’s doin’ to you, what you did to me

Chorus
Twistin’ the truth honey, how does it feel
When she rips your world apart
You’re listenin’, n’ carin’, thinkin’ love’s real
Shock hits n’ shatters your heart
Only fair, I share the news
It’s reverse deja-vu
Instead of me, it’s you
And she’s twistin’ the truth

Verse 2
Backtrackin’ n’ blamin’ n’ changin’ her mind
That sweet slice o’ karma cuts like a knife
Now who’s the fool, not knowin’ what ta’ believe
While her lies are spinnin’ like your wheels n’ she’s

Chorus-2
Twistin’ the truth honey, how does it feel
When she rips your world apart
You’re listenin’, n’ carin’, thinkin’ love’s real
Shock hits n’ shatters your heart
Only fair, I share the news
It’s reverse deja-vu
Instead of me, it’s you
And she’s twistin’ the truth, twistin’ the truth

[Bridge]
I see you clingin’ to that table as it turns
Justice served, turn, turn, turn

[Chorus-3]
Twistin’ the truth honey, how does it feel
When she rips your world apart
You’re listenin’, n’ carin’, thinkin’ love’s real
Shock hits n’ shatters your heart
Only fair, I share the news
It’s reverse deja-vu
Instead of me, it’s you
And she’s twistin, twistin’ the truth

Twistin’ the truth, ya
Twistin’ the truth

Now You’re Talkin’
Rebecca Lynn Howard, Terri Burch, Heidi Owen Straub

Verse 1
You never say a word
I don’t know how you feel
I gotta read your mind
If I wanna find out if your love is real

Pre-1
My heart ain’t made of stone, it’s gonna break
Only so much silence I can take
Shame it took me leavin’ this way

Chorus
Oh, now you’re talkin’, sayin’ you’re sorry, you’re beggin me don’t go baby
Now, that I’m walkin, all of a sudden, you’re pourin’ your heart out to me
Ramblin’ on about how much you love me
You coulda’ said it all along and I think it’s funny
That Now you’re talkin’

Verse 2
That I’m the only one
Who can fill up your heart
That woulda’ been good to hear
You whisper in my ear instead you kept me in the dark

Pre-2
So, few empty words ain’t gonna change
What’s happenin’ here, won’t make me stay
Way too little, way too late

Chorus-2
Oh, now you’re talkin’, sayin’ you’re sorry, you’re beggin me don’t go baby
Now, that I’m walkin, all of a sudden, you’re pourin’ your heart out to me
Ramblin’ on about how much you love me
You coulda’ said it all along and I think it’s funny
That Now you’re talkin’
Now you’re talkin’

Bridge
Callin’ me beautiful, callin’ me baby,
Just call me no more, ya
Now you’re talkin’

CH-3
Oh, now you’re talkin’, sayin’ you’re sorry, you’re beggin me don’t go baby
Now, that I’m walkin, all of a sudden, you’re pourin’ your heart out to me
Ramblin’ on about how much you love me
You coulda’ said it all along and I think it’s funny
That Now you’re talkin’

Now you’re talkin’
Oh, now you’re talking
