    NO HOME LEFT

                                                         
                                                            

    No Home Left (Melyssa Corrigan) The front door opens I hear my name and I know that voice means, you’re gone again An’ I twirl on eggshells as I pretend We ain’t headin’ for the end [Pre Chorus] Please don't make me leave you, I have loved you all along But I was built too soft to be this strong [Chorus] There's no home left in this house There's no laughter in the air Bottle tucked behind the couch Find 'em hiding everywhere I know you need me, it's what keeps me here But, baby, I’m bleeding out Oooh, there's no home left in this house [Verse 2] You’re full of magic, but you don’t know it I’ve tried to tell you, tried to show it Tried to love you, tried to sew the Hole that’s swallowing your soul up [Pre Chorus] Ain't no way to reach a man in prison with his pain And I’ve run out of ways to break the chains [Chorus] There's no home left in this house, There's no laughter in the air Bottle tucked behind the couch Find 'em hiding everywhere I know you need me, it’s what keeps me here But, baby, I’m bleeding out Oooh, there's no home left in this house [Bridge] I pray that one day you will see You deserve to be set free [Chorus] There's no home left in this house, There's no laughter in the air Bottle tucked behind the couch Find 'em hiding everywhere You say you need me , please don't leave me, God, Forgive me I’m bleeding out Oooh, there's no home left in this house No, there 's no home left in this house

    The Way You'd Want Me To - UPDATED (Melyssa Corrigan, Aron Rosing) V1 Hi Daddy, it’s me How are things in Tennessee? Yes, I’m fine, don’t you worry It ain’t nothing Well, really, it’s someone And he’s got me all undone And I’m thinking he’s the one Ain’t that something? PRE CH1 He asks about my dreams Wants to help me see them through And he makes me laugh out loud Somehow even when I’m blue CH1 And I’m wondering If I can bring him home? I thought since you’re my hero You should be the first to know He might not be the kind of guy You pictured by my side And if I’m being honest Well, neither did I But you can’t change What a heart is gonna do And he makes me feel The way you’d want me to V2 Daddy, here’s the thing I know what you’re gonna think He ain’t quite the cowboy king You thought I’d find He never learned to fish But he says he's always wished That his own dad would’ve lived To teach him sometime CH2 Bridge: He ain’t rough around the edges Like the boys I’ve brought home before And when I tell him that I love him He says, girl, I love you more CH3

    Can’t Love You For Too Long V1 Lie down boy Right next to me No where else I'd rather be Then here with you Between these sheets Wrap me up And set me free CH I’m all yours take me in Cut me loose from where I’ve been Love me like I’m all you see I’ll love you like you’re all I need And in the morning when you’re looking And you come find me gone Know I love you when I love you I just can’t love you for too long V2 I don’t want To wonder why You don’t pick up The phone one night Worry that Your truths are lies Lose myself Again this time CH REPEAT BRIDGE I don’t need your Open heart or caring eyes I don’t need your Pick me up on Sunday drives After all the heartbrea All the scars and shattered lives I do not need nothin’ But your arms round me tonight CH REPEAT OUT Know I love you when I love you I just can’t love you for too long

    Livin’ Gone Astray V1 The gates are finally open The road is turning right Been praying to the stars above To point me towards the light The climb’s been unforgiving Crawled up and tumbled down Busted knees and dusty dreams And cracks left in my crown PRE (4 5) In all that getting lost I’ve found CHORUS There are so many shes That have been me along the way I’m making’ peace with each Kissing their cheeks, offering grace Wrapping them in kindness And removing all their shame Dreamers don’t reach dreams without some livin’ gone astray I wasn’t made for mainstream It wasn’t made for me Some are fine to stay fenced in And some are born to run free Been singing like I’ve lived a life Since I was just thirteen (open to an alternate line here - was written with a specific artist in mind) Now turning round it all turned out Just how it’s supposed to be REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE I’ve loved and I have lost Sunk my sorrows, paid the cost I’m only human after all And I’m still here, after all CHORUS Of those wandering she’s That have been me along the way I’m makin’ peace with each Kissin their cheeks, offering grace Wrapping them in kindness And removing all their shame Dreamers don’t reach dreams Without some livin’ gone astray Dreamers don’t reach dreams Without some livin’ gone astray

    Homicidal (Melyssa Corrigan, Rick Amburgey, Dana Pagane) [Verse 1] My bed is full of rescue dogs I cry when I hear George Strait songs I'll be the first one in your drive When you need some light in the dark of night But Jesus please forgive the thoughts I think On days when I am hanging on the brink [CH] Sometimes the devil's behind this smile A sure shot with my Ruger rifle Know it's against the Holy Bible But once in a while I feel homicidal [Verse 2] Cut me off on a bad day Say I said things I don't say Waitress flirting with my man Guess she don't know who I am [Pre] Jesus , please forgive the thoughts I think On days when I am hanging on the brink [CH] Sometimes the devil's behind this smile A sure shot with my Ruger rifle Know it's against the Holy Bible But once in a while I feel homicidal [Bridge] Most would say I've done no wrong Can only take this shit so long [CH] Sometimes the devil's behind this smile A sure shot with my Ruger rifle Know it's against the Holy Bible But once in a while I feel homicidal [Instrumental] [CH] Sometimes the devil's behind this smile A sure shot with my Ruger rifle Know it's against the Holy Bible But once in a while I feel homicidal Yeah, once in a while I feel homicidal

    Drown A Memory V1 If I could drown a memory An’ just watch it slip away I’d round up every bad one Sink them in a whiskey lake I’d hold down your goodbye An’ feel that pain slowly fade Just disappearing from my mind To the bottom of a Jim Beam grave CH Yeah, if I could drown a memory If I could pick and choose I’d let every argument go under An’ save the I love you’s I’d flood each of my mistakes An’ rescue who we used to be Yeah, if I could drown a memory I’d drink to you an’ me V2 I’d drink to all the times That you took my breath away Falling deep into your eyes Bluer than those ocean waves I’d drink to every moment That I got to call you mine Never thinking I might lose you But here I am tonight CHORUS REPEAT BRIDGE Girl, if you were sitting here like me Trying to drown a memory Of the night you left, the day we met Or something in between Which one would it be? Oh, which one would it be? CHORUS REPEAT

    Educated Man (Melyssa Corrigan, Charlie Dunn) [Verse 1] Pardon me ma’am for being so forward And I-can’t pronounce the drink he just ordered But I overheard all of his mansplaining business Him checkin’ his phone sayin’ “i gotta take this” Only a fool would keep you here waiting His fancy degree might be suh-phis-ticatin’ But, I’m studying you from a barstool away And can already read the look on your face [Chorus] If you’re searching for an educated man There are some things he’ll never understand How to be strong How to hold you tight How to be soft How to love you right Let-me know you, like the back of my hand An’ I will show you, an educated man [Verse 2] Don’t be impressed by the white of his collar We can chase stars while he’s chasing a dollar If you-like to slow dance, we-can move real fast And find us the moon, 'fore he gets back [Chorus] [quick interlude] [Chorus]
