My Best Friends

Wildcard
By: Olivia Baker, Mallory Trunnell, Lauren Harding

Verse 1
If love is a risk then call me a gamblin’ woman
I’ve rolled the dice and lost one too many times
I’ll double down, order a round, play another hand
When they all fold, I’ll tell them “Let it Ride”

Chorus
Cause I know in my soul
That somewhere the house is full
And the Joker’s only there to make you laugh
The King shows all his cards
And he’s only holdin’ hearts
I’m a high roller in love, guilty as charged 
It’s a wild card

Verse 2
If learning the hard way’s cool, baby I’m your girl
Calling a bluff is something I don’t do well 
Out on a limb, I go all in, though I have yet to win 
The heart on my sleeve is always my biggest tell

Chorus
But I know in my soul
That somewhere the house is full
And the Joker’s only there to make you laugh
The King shows all his cards
And he’s only holdin’ hearts
I’m a high roller in love, guilty as charged 
It’s a wild card. 

Bridge
I’ll play till I find 
My two of a kind 

Chorus 
Cause I know in my soul
That somewhere the house is full
And the Joker’s only there to make you laugh
Yeah I know in my soul
That somewhere the house is full
And the Joker’s only there to make you laugh
The King shows all his cards
And he’s only holdin’ hearts
I’m a high roller in love, guilty as charged 
It’s a wild card 
It’s a wild card
I’m a wild card

Some things aren’t meant to stay
Seasons pass and people change
It might hurt, but that’s okay
Some things aren’t meant to stay

Honey you can leave, it don’t phase me
My roots run deep and I’ll be fine

Cause you ain’t nothin’ but a leaf on my tree
You’re in with the spring and gone with the breeze
You’ll turn yellow when it starts to freeze
Then I’ll take my branches and shake you from me
Cause honey you ain’t nothin’ but a leaf on my tree

Your love is bittersweet
It comes on strong, but it leaves me weak
It’s all I want, and all I don’t need
Cause baby, your love is bittersweet

And honey you can leave, that chill might sting
But my roots run deep and I’ll be fine

        Cause you ain’t nothin’ but a leaf on my tree
You’re in with the spring and gone with the breeze
You’ll turn yellow when it starts to freeze
Then I’ll take my branches and shake you from me
Cause honey you ain’t nothin’ but a leaf on my tree

            Meant to be is sometimes short and sweet
            So as the air grows cold and you turn gold
            I’ll set you free

Cause you ain’t nothin’ but a leaf on my tree
Now I’m watching you slip away from me
You’ll float on as a memory
And I’ll make new ones in the spring
Honey I’ll make new ones in the spring

Tumbleweed

Dirt road at my feet
the sun in the sky
Wild flowers in my hair
and a twinkle in my eye
oh I
I don't make a fuss
I don't put up a fight
cause I'm countin' the stars
in a new place every night
oh

I'm just rollin' along
like a heavenly stone
I don't know where I'm goin'
No, I never stay long
I just keep movin' on
go where the wind is blowin'

I'm just tumbleweed
ramblin' along
He called me Bumblebee
but now my honey's gone
That cowboy took everything
and left me here 
with lonely's sting
and I could "me oh my"
but I don't mind
Cause right now, I'm just a tumbleweed

Don't stick to the tracks
don't stay in the lines
He said he'd never come back
now I've got all this time to

Keep rollin' along
like a heavenly stone
I don't know where I'm goin'
I don't need him with me
I just wanna be free
go where the breeze is blowin'

Cause I'm just tumbleweed
ramblin' along
He called me Bumblebee
but now my honey's gone
That cowboy took everything
and left me here 
with lonely's sting
and I could "me oh my"
but I don't mind
Cause right now, I'm just a tumbleweed

I appreciate all those folks advice 
how I should live my life
everybody I know has got a new beau for me
and they're all real nice but...
every day's a new town
maybe some day I'll settle down

I keep rollin' along like a heavenly stone
I don't care where I'm goin'
Cause I'm a tumbleweed
ramblin' along
He called me Bumblebee
but now my honey's gone
That cowboy took everything
and left me here 
with lonely's sting
and I could "me oh my"
but I don't mind
Cause right now, I'm just a tumbleweed

Lyrics:

Dancing on the wind to sleep on leaves
Glistening. Listening
To the choir’s carol on the breeze
They’re singing. It’s Freezing.
But in the magic I’m believing
That all will be set right

Silent as the night the crystals fall
And blanket the darkness
Harkening the sound of Winter’s call
The branches are kneeling
And with the frost there comes a feeling
That death will bring new life

The fire’s lit, the kettle’s on
The bed’s turned down, the bath is drawn
A silvery moon shines down upon
The path to our front door
And I wait by the window pane
Until I hear you call my name
And hold me in your arms again
You promised you’d be home by First Snow.

I remember once on Christmas Eve
With family surrounding
You sang to us a song of Joy and Peace
Then war came and life changed
Still with each letter I am praying
That all will be set right

The fire’s lit the kettles on
Another year has come and gone
Yet every star I wish upon
Will lead you to our door
Still I wait by the window pane
To see you walking down the lane
And hold you in my arms again
You promised you’d be home by First Snow

Ooo, Ooo

And with the Frost there comes a feeling
That death will bring new life

Ooo, Ooo

First Snow

Honey I don’t wanna need you
You’ve been living inside my mind
I can’t shake you, I can’t take it
I’m down on my knees every night 

I wish you would leave 
Leave on your own
Cause I’ll never tell you to go

Ooo baby I’m haunted 
and I want you to know
That I’m closing the door
This time you’re saying on the other side
So go my ghost, go oooh 

Honey I don’t wanna see you
You’re the darkness in all of my dreams
Light a candle, turn the light on 
Yet you linger, you’re still here with me 

I wish you would leave
Leave on your own
Cause I’ll never tell you to go
 
Ooo baby I’m haunted 
and I want you to know
That I’m closing the door
This time you’re saying on the other side
So go my ghost, go oooh 

Ooo baby I’m haunted
 and I want you to know
That I’m closing the door
This time you’re saying on the other side
So go my ghost, go oooh 

Ooo baby I’m haunted  | Go my ghost go oooh
and I want you to know
That I’m closing the door
This time you’re saying on the other side

So go my ghost, go oooh 
Ooo this time you’re stayin on the other side

Lyrics:
DUE WEST
Double at a dive bar every day and night
Cause it’s my dream to see those northern lights
Keepin’ cash in a rusted coffee tin
Saving for the first change in the wind

CHORUS
I’m due West
I’ve been getting on just fine
But there’s an ache in my chest
For that California coastline
Rocky Mountain High, Sedona Sunrise
Seattle to Santa Fe, 
Cheyenne to Morro Bay
I hear it calling out my name
Honey I’m due West

This old Bronco’s ready to hit the road
Cause here ain’t where my heart has ever felt like home
I just wanna watch the Alpenglow
Wander through the Wasatch in the snow

CHORUS
I’m due West
I’ve been getting on just fine
But there’s an ache in my chest
For that California coastline
Rocky Mountain High, Sedona Sunrise
Seattle to Santa Fe, 
Cheyenne to Morro Bay
I hear it calling out my name
Honey I’m due West

There’s no need for me to say goodbye
Sun is getting low I’m gonna chase the light
I’m due West, I’m Due West

CHORUS
I’m due West
I’ve been getting on just fine
But there’s an ache in my chest
For that California coastline
Rocky Mountain High, Sedona Sunrise
Seattle to Santa Fe, 
Cheyenne to Morro Bay
I hear it calling out my name
Honey I’m due West

Due West

Song-sirens Lauren Harding and Mallory Trunnell were veterans of intricate song-crafting and the bright lights of the stage on their own, but together, they discovered a shared talent for firecracker lyrics and glistening harmonies that became irresistible. The ladies penned a tune while participating in a songwriting challenge that sparked the notion to forge a Badass, Harmony-Laced, Roots/Rock driven, Outlaw Country Lady Duo. Thus: Crimson Calamity was born.

With inspiration from artists like Brandi Carlile, The Civil Wars and Grace Potter, Crimson Calamity infused their influences into the release of their debut EP, “All in the Cards.” The music Crimson Calamity is devoted to creating embodies both sultry rock and traditional country aspects. Fans of both genres will hear these attributes in every song the gals concoct.

The fiery twosome is currently preparing to release their new EP ‘Gypsy Heart.’ This sophomore record showcases the evolution of the pair’s artistry that is seasoned and re-energized, while still offering their signature Roots Rock/ Americana sound. Be sure to tune in to Crimson Calamity’s ‘Gypsy Heart’ and visit https://www.crimsoncalamitymusic.com/ for more updates.
