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

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

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
