Verse: I can spot it before I pull into the yard of the home where my parents still live That dollhouse Dad built which played a big part in me making a lot of new friends  And that weathered old swing hanging from the porch where I'd drift back and forth in the sun It creaks a bit now but it's still secure as the day when it was first hung  Pre Chorus: The feelings I get approaching these steps Remind me of being a kid again Chorus: When I walk thru that door at once I'm transformed Into that wide eyed little girl that I was before  Playing make-up and dress up like a fairy princess Feels good to stay here and wake up in my old childhood bed  Verse: How many friends and kin have crossed that welcome mat lying outside the front door After all these years it's still in tact and justifiably worn Upstairs on the walls are reminders of all the artwork I did as a kid And a picture of me missing two front teeth that I wish Mom would've kept hid  Pre Chorus: The feelings I get approaching these steps Remind me of being a kid again Chorus: When I walk thru that door at once I'm transformed Into that wide eyed little girl that I was before  Playing make-up and dress up like a fairy princess Feels good to stay here and wake up In my old childhood bed  Bridge: Every fixture holds a memory in the history of this house for me Chorus: When I walk thru that door at once I transform Into that wide eyed little girl that I was before  Playing make-up and dress up like a fairy princess Feels good to stay here and wake up In my old childhood bed  Copyright 2022 by: Tina Rivera

I was out in my truck building a life for you Calling from the road to say good night to you I thought you were holding it down while I was gone Dodging seedy truck stops doing right by you Supporting you and the kids is what I was tryna do But now I see I may have stayed out too long Cause you're back with your ex And I must confess Should've been at home standing guard You're back with your ex And I must admit To driving you back into his arms Asking the good Lord to bless me to Be able to afford what was best for you I had to get out there and make a fast buck I'm not the type to wear a suit Or choke in a tie on a daily commute So I got my CDL and drove off in my truck But you're back with your ex And I must confess Should've been at home standing guard You're back with your ex And I must admit To driving you back into his arms Life on the road was so hard for me You and the kids being so far from me But it gave me something to look forward to Those two little girls brought out the father in me They may not have been mine but they were a part of me And I love them just as much as you do But you're back with your ex And I must confess Should've been at home standing guard You're back with your ex And I must admit To driving you back into his arms Yes you're back with your ex I just have to accept That's where your heart's been all along You're back with your ex And I'll always regret Driving you back into his arms

Broke your promise and didn't show Deep breaths and I let it go Where normally there'd be a fight Called up my ex and let him spend the night Trial by fire to be with you Torched friendships and family too ooo ooo Time and again you let me burn Kept touching the stove until I learned Pardon me you sound ridiculous Accusing me of being promiscuous Regarding me as somehow too infamous Pardon me if I'm rude I learned it from you Heard about you and all of your whores Asked if it's true and you lied of course Went out to dance and let my hair down And just by chance guess who I found You on a couch sandwiched between Two open mouths, hands shoved down your jeans Strutted on by, took off my coat Found a cute guy and stuck my tongue down his throat Whoa oh oh oh Pardon me you sound ridiculous Accusing me of being promiscuous Regarding me as somehow too infamous Pardon me if I'm lewd I learned it from you According to nightmares I am your worse What used to pain me no longer hurts I was obsessed now I'm immune Who would've guessed you infected me too  ooo ooo Pardon me you sound ridiculous Accusing me of being promiscuous Regarding me as somehow too infamous Pardon me if I'm crude I learned it from you Pardon me you need to hear this You hardened me now I live fearless Ask yourself why my eyes are tearless Pardon the new attitude I learned it from you

V1 The spark has left his eyes His vocal chords are strained His star was on the rise Before he turned eighteen He was wild and uncontrolled Pretty things caught his eye Now at 55 years old He's serenading bar flies Chorus His knuckles are swollen  from too many fights Some say he'd stolen too many wives He was once compared to Elvis they even looked alike But The King would never smell of cheap wine and bar flies V2 Coming from a small town Should've left with his guitar Should've been Nashville bound Just couldn't stay out them bars His reputation was well known They even called him Hound Dog But now when he gets them home He simply dozes off Chorus His knuckles are swollen  from too many fights Some say he'd stolen too many wives He was once compared to Elvis they even looked alike But The King would never smell of cheap wine and bar flies Bridge He was a big fish in a small pond Who squandered his gift and never moved on V3 They still swarm the stage After every rambling song And even at this age He still can't swat them off He knows the winds of fortune Have cruelly passed him by And every performance Just attracts more flies

Verse: Happy New Year to you baby now that Christmas is done I don't do resolutions but maybe this once We could vow to get away from here for a few months Take an overdue vacation where there's lots of sun Chorus: Cuz I'm, I'm sick of snow for me the thrill is gone It's not that magical when you see it all year long I'm sick of winter clothes Ev'ry time I go outdoors It's just too cold for me Up here in the North Verse: So put away that red suit baby and those soggy ol' boots I already booked a cruise and shopped a bit too Camis, sandals, skinny jeans and a bikini of course And for you some sleeveless tees, a pair of trunks and cargo shorts Chorus: Cuz I'm, I'm sick of snow for me the thrill is gone It's not that magical when you see it all year long I'm sick of winter clothes Ev'ry time I go outdoors It's just too cold for me Up here in the North Bridge: You know you had me at Ho Ho with your warmhearted approach Shoulda told you long ago that Kris I'm sick of snow Chorus: Yes I'm, I'm sick of snow for me the thrill is gone It's not that magical when you see it all year long I'm sick of winter clothes Ev'ry time I go outdoors It's just too cold for me Up here in the North

Verse: Not a single sign of weakness lives inside her DNA All the warm gestures between us, It seems I initiate But like a mama bear protects her young she ain't never been afraid To defend her only son and that’s regardless of my age Chorus: The world's always testin' her because she is so small But you don't wanna go a messin' with that little fireball A giant in my eyes despite what others saw Always stood up for what's right That's why to me she's 10 feet tall Verse: Once the neighborhood bully thinking he would do me harm Pursued me home from school and ran straight into my Mom In her brand new denim suit with matching 4 inch high heels on She kicked off them dam shoes and chased that coward from our lawn Chorus: The world's always testin' her because she is so small But you don't wanna go a messin' with that little fireball A giant in my eyes despite what others saw Always stood up for what's right Thats why to me she's 10 feet tall Bridge: She's my angel, my savior, my she-ro, my life My closet-monster-slayer all in miniature size Chorus: The world's always testin' her because she is so small But you don't wanna go a messin' with that little fireball A giant in my eyes despite what others saw Always stood up for what's right Thats why to me she's 10 feet tall

Lord here's my heart It's old and it's scarred I know you won't shame me I know you don't blame me For the things that I've done An imperfection human Lord here's my heart It's all torn apart I know you're still near me I know you still hear me You know what I've been through Please take it and make it brand new I have squandered my birthright Still I want to see paradise Salvation is your perfect gift Fill me up with your light Show me who I am in your sight It's solely your prerogative Lord here's my heart I've sinned from the start Through love and through mercy Of which I'm unworthy Please show me your love And all I'm capable of I have squandered my birthright Still I want to see paradise Salvation is your perfect gift Fill me up with your light Show me who I am in your sight It's solely your prerogative My spirit is crushed my lowly heart broken My sacrifices are merely a token I worshipped you the way I was taught But now I realize how much it was flawed You want my heart! I have squandered my birthright Still I want to see paradise Salvation is your perfect gift Fill me up with your light Show me who I am in your sight It's solely your prerogative Lord here's my heart It's cold and it's hard Please give me a new one Please give me a full one Speak over my life And make my woeful heart right

Verse: You deserve the lovin' of a caring husband who knows what you're worth Not a no good for nothin 'cept sittin' on his butt n quenchin' his thirst Girl...since you left me here all by myself Been wrecking my brain tryna figure things out Pre Chorus: You want the kinda man Who lends a helping hand  Around the house One who understands  The meaning of romance  And how much it counts Chorus: Baby this time around No excuses allowed Gonna get off the couch And put the beer down Slip on my favorite Levi's And take you into town Hit up all the places where we used to hang out Open doors, check your coat Push in your chair when you sit down Girl I'm making changes Gonna be that perfect spouse Because I can And I am A better man now Verse: If you're, hesitating we can go back to dating like when we first met I hope you're, not debating if you should be taking me more serious You needed a partner who'd share in your dreams Not some corpse watching sports all day on TV Pre Chorus: You want the kinda man Who lends a helping hand  Around the house One who understands  The meaning of romance  And how much it counts Chorus: Bridge: I wanna see that smile again, the one you said you lost Same one I'll help you find again no matter what it cost Chorus: Baby this time around No excuses allowed Gonna get off the couch And put the beer down Slip on my favorite Levi's And take you into town Hit up all the places where we used to hang out Open doors, check your coat Push in your chair when you sit down Girl I'm making changes Gonna be that perfect spouse Because I can And I am A better man now I'm a better man now

VI: Fearful of being way past my prime My youthful dreams all but dried up and died Resigned myself to a passionless life No joy in my heart no spark in my eyes But I was a prisoner of my own mind Pondering all my failures in life Wondering if by the end of my time Would anyone care would anyone cry Chorus: I can't believe He stepped down from the throne just for me He said a mustard seeds all the faith that I need For me to come under his peace. Still can't believe He left ninety-nine just for me. Said He never promised a life filled with ease But not one of his would he leave. Now I believe VII: I have struggled with my unbelief Puzzled to why he cares about me In a world that's fraught with pain and grief If one more is lost tell me what does it mean Still He rescued me from the depths of sorrow Wherever he leads surely I will follow As He calls me to rest and take up his yoke I can feel his presence guiding me home Chorus: I can't believe He stepped down from the throne just for me He said a mustard seeds all the faith that I need For me to come under his peace. Still can't believe He left ninety-nine just for me. Said He never promised a life filled with ease But not one of his would he leave Now I believe Bridge: I don't need all the answers all the time I am free from the doubt that once plagued my mind Chorus: Cause I believe He stepped down from the throne just for me Said a mustard seeds all the faith that I need For me to come under his peace. Now I believe He left ninety-nine just for me. Said He never promised a life filled with ease But not one of his would he leave Now I believe Now I believe
