"I'm Good" - written by Vicki Leighty, James Steffan and Stephen Smith, 2016

I'm Good

Up at the crack of dawn
I put the coffee on
Ready to start my day
Free and easy life
I ain't nobody’s wife
Nobody’s standing in my way

Put on the morning news
The world’s still got the blues
But it keeps on turning round
Not so long ago
My heart was filled with woe
Now I’m back on solid ground

I’m good at being single
I’m good at playing strong
Might seem like I don’t need no one
But first impressions can be wrong
I’m good at being single

Go out with my friends
To that old place again
Have a bite, drink a glass of wine
Y’know it feels alright
Being single one more night
I’m immune to all those pickup lines

Lay me down to sleep
Still waters runnin' deep
Though I'm past the point to cry
Dreamin' 'bout a man
Strong and steady hand
He gives a love you can't deny


Recorded in 2019-20, by Vicki Leighty (lead vocals), with Mark Stuart (guitars), Kevin Hennessey (bass) and Phylshawn Johnson (percussion).

"Get Out of Virginia" written by Vicki Leighty (BMI), James "Jimmy" Steffan (BMI), and Steve Smith.

Get Out of Virginia

The fan was no match, for the summer heat
The house was clean, supper on the stove
Baby crawling, on linoleum floors
Swattin’ at the flies sneakin’ in the screen door

She heard the train rollin’ by, on tracks 
   near the road
From her backyard, you can hear the creek flow
Company houses, laid out in a line
The only local work was in a hand-loading mine

She said, we got to get out, get out of Virginia
She said I’m leavin’ today, with or without ya
This old holler ain't nothin' like home
She could feel it, down in her bones
We got to get out, get out of Virginia 

With the little bit he made, they were
   barely getting by
She had enough she shook her fist at the sky

When her man got home, he had nothin' to say
She’d packed up the bed clothes, and gave them away
Down in the creek, there was household debris
Broken old dishes on the ground by the trees

With pin curls, lipstick and a tear-stained face
She said, by God I’m gettin' out of this place
