Most of these songs in this album, unless noted otherwise, were written by myself and my co-writer Dave Younger who is providing vocals for each. These song demos were recorded and produced at the Smokehouse Studio in Nashville.
SHE DIDN'T GET HERE ON HER OWN
You're looking at that waitress
who just came in here alone
you think she's cheap and easy and
you'll have her if you want
she's down here in this awful place
when she should be safe at home
I know
she didn't get here on her own
She was a special Angel
Heaven sent to save my soul
now her wings are broken and
her love for me is cold
I was chasing after worthless things
and losing precious gold
That's why I know
She didn't get here on her own
She didn't get here on her own
I drove her down that road
She had no one to turn to
when I left her on her own
when I came to my senses
she was absolutely gone
that's why I know (spoken)
she didn't get here on her own
Those lips that used to kiss me
force a smile at your crude joke
Those arms that used to hold me now
bring whiskey beer and smokes
I promised to be faithful
that's not the only vow I broke
That's why I say
She didn't get here on her own
chorus:
She didn't get here on her own
I drove her down that road
I could not have been more heartless
if I'd showed her where to go
She was the greatest blessing
that I ever should have known
I got it wrong
she didn't get here on her own
she's moved on
she didn't get here on her own
