“Summer Blonde”    by: Kathy Kay Wallace   

V1- I won't be waitin' on his call this weekend
He said he needed space and that's just fine
so I’m stockin' up on a few things I been needin
I can feel the beach right now in this check out line
CH- Got me a box of L'oreal cause I'm worth it
I’ve been feelin’too tied down for way too long
gonna find out if some girls really do have more fun
when I take the plunge and become a summer blonde
V2- No matter what he said I ain’t no quitter
So I'm gonna build myself back up again
I don't even care that it’s dead of winter
Highlights seem to bring out all kinds of single men (Amen)
CH- Got me a box of L'oreal cause I'm worth it
I’ve been feelin too tied down for way too long
gonna find out if some girls really do have more fun
when I take the plunge and become a summer blonde
BR- I don’t need no sand no I don’t need no sun
I'll have a whole new attitude before this night is done
CHORUS

Made the Bar my Church"  By:  Kathy Kay Wallace and Robert Abernathy

  V1       It was the wrong day to start being sober
            Got  blindsided when she said it was over
             Crushed our mailbox with that ole range rover 
            As she peeled out of sight
            I was lost in my nightly  obsession
            Didn't pick up on  her leavin’ intentions
            Or recognize her heartache conditions
           Too late to make it right
C
 Should have never made the bar my church
I  never knew how much it made her hurt
Should have never prayed  to Cuervo
She ‘s supposed to be first
Singing drunk hymns at closing time
In a congregation of neon lights
Bartender sermons wasting my time
 when I should be with her
Should have never made the bar my church

V2 
 Confusing tip jars and offering plates     
With each drink I sealed my fate 
While I let her  stay up and wait
 Gotta change my ways   
C
 Should have never made the bar my church
I  never knew how much it made her hurt
Should have never prayed  to Cuervo
She was supposed to be first
Singing drunk hymns at closing time
In a congregation of neon lights
Bartender sermons are a waste of time
Wanna be next to her
Should have never made the bar my church

Bridge
So I poured out this glass and walked out alone
And I thanked God when I called 
 she picked up the phone and I said 

C
Should have never made the bar my church
I  know how much it made you hurt
hallelujah I put down  Cuervo 
and put you first
No more singing hymns at closing time
Come back home I wanna make it right
Baby put your hand in mine 
and lets do the work
Should have never made the bar my church

"Exit Wound" by Kathy Kay Wallace and Jamie Floyd

Every day is the day you left
Every night I'm alone again
In my bed, in my head, it doesn't end
I can't blame anyone else
I did this to myself
Loving you, I wanted to

Why didn't you warn me
You made it look easy

When the smoke cleared
I thought it was over
'Cause you're not here
But instead of closure
I got a shattered broken heart
Where I wish there was a scar
Goodbye isn't getting through
'Cause there's no exit wound

All I ever do is let you go
But the only part I can't control
Is the piece of you and me
Buried deep, didn't leave

When the smoke cleared
I thought it was over
'Cause you're not here
But instead of closure
I got a shattered broken heart
Where I wish there was a scar
Goodbye isn't getting through

To my heart, to my head
I don't know how to forget

When the smoke cleared
I thought we were over
'Cause you're not here
But instead of closure
I got a shattered broken heart
Where I wish there was a scar
A goodbye I keep goin' through
Goodbye isn't getting through
'Cause there's no exit wound

EXIT WOUND

ONE TEQUILA AT A TIME

"Daddy’s Favorite Sweater"   by Kathy Kay Wallace   

  V1-     For years he took the worry he would feel
            And he  hid it under  his very own coat of steel
            That old wooden rack stood waiting by the door
            Even superheroes hang  their cape  so it won't drag on the floor 

  CH- He loved to come home Sunday right after church 
         pull that worn navy cardigan  over his white starched shirt
         He wore it everywhere he went   didn’t matter about the weather
         He could always make even my worst days feel better   
        and He still does  when I put on 
        Daddy's favorite sweater

 V2- He was  our rock with every rise and fall
         I swear  to me that man stood over 10 feet tall
        He gave good advice   had a strong shoulder
        I  never dreamed how soon  I'd be without him  as  I grew older


  CH- He loved to come home Sunday right after church 
          pull that worn navy cardigan  over his white starched shirt
          He wore it everywhere he went   didn’t matter about the weather
          He could always make even my worst days feel better   
          and He still does when I put on 
          Daddy's favorite sweater

   
  BR-   I swear the smell of Old Spice  still lingers on the sleeves
           I take a deep breath and wrap up in a  love that never leaves


  CH- He loved to come home Sunday right after church 
          pull that worn navy cardigan  over his white starched shirt
          He wore it everywhere he went  didn’t matter about the weather
         He could always make even my worst days feel better   
         and He still does  when I put on 
         He still does   when I put on 
         Daddy's favorite sweater

Daddy's Favorite Sweater

" Choose Me"   by: Kathy Kay Wallace 
 V1-
 Lying next to him will always take my breath away
 His warm hands crazy laugh blue eyes that turn steel gray
 His skin smells like summer rain and I wanna soak him all up
 But he’s already jumpin’ in the shower and loadin’ up his truck 

Chorus:
 So I don’t let myself go all in
 Cause I know goodbye is comin’
 I dont wanna be left behind all broken and wonderin 
 I deserve a hang your hat stay around kind of real man 
 Should I just roll over and let him love and leave
 Or could I do what he’s never done
 And just choose me

 V2
 He was brutally honest with me from the start
 Freedom and the open road beat a broken tied down heart 
He never says forever and every time I let him in 
The next sunset comes around and he rides away again 

Chorus:
 So I don’t let myself go all in 
Cause I know goodbye is comin
 I dont wanna be left behind broken and wonderin
 I deserve a hang your hat stay around kind of real man
 Should I just roll over and let him love and leave 
Or could I do what he’s never done 
And just choose me

 BR- 
I deserve more than the occasional company 
I’d rather be alone than be feel lonely

 Chorus: 
(So)And I don’t let myself go all in 
Cause I know goodbye is comin 
I dont wanna be left behind broken and wonderin 
I deserve a hang your hat stay around kind of man 
I’m done rolling over and letting him love and leave
I’m gonna do what he’s never done 
And just choose me
