Sayin' Goodbye to You - written by Mike Maher

Damsel in Distress

I can see it in your eyes 
And I find myself surprised 
That this ending is one you didn't see
You've been pushing me so long 
And now I'm finally moving on
I've declared my independence and now I'm free

I ain't your damsel in distress no more
You won't find me standing barefoot on your kitchen floor
I'm a country girl who was raised on gritz and pride
And I won't be taken for a ride

I don't want some wild cowboy
Who won't put his arms around me 
When I'm feelin low and cold on some lonely night
I don't want no drama anymore
I've been down that road before
I'm more valuable than a brand new four wheel drive

I ain't your damsel in distress no more
You won't find me standing barefoot on your kitchen floor
I'm a country girl who was raised on gritz and pride
And I won't be taken for a ride

Yes, we had some real good days 
But you wouldn't change your ways
Out drinking late every chance you'd get
Forget your midnight rambling
Twas the lying and the gambling
The card game when you lost my 'fifty-three Corvette. 

So I'll say goodbye to you
Don't bother begging, cause we're through
I've changed the locks and the new alarms been set
My mind is at peace
My lawyer even filed for free
 I'm walking down the road with not one single regret

I ain't your damsel in distress no more
You won't find me standing barefoot on your kitchen floor
I'm a country girl who was raised on gritz and pride
And I won't be taken for a ride
.

Damsel in Distress -  written by Mike Maher

Second Choice

I don't wanna be your second choice anymore
Spending lonely nights waiting for your knock on my door
When your heart is heavy
And you're feeling low
I don't want to be the answer to your prayers
No, I do to want to be your second choice anymore

Dreaming of a life living side by side in some other place
But that dream ain't coming true cause I made a vow I just cant break 
I don't want to let you down 
Don't want to let you go
Girl it's killing me inside more than you know  
Your no second choice to me, you're my number one wherever I go

It just ain't fair 

I don't want to be a stranger to your closest friends
Waiting by my phone for a secret text at 2am
There's a fire in my heart burning bright for you  
Loving you is all I want to do      		
But, I don't want to be your second choice 
Girl, you will never be my second choice	
No, I don't want to be your second choice anymore  

Bridge  
Another time, another place we could be together
But it's just complicated
So we'll bury our love forever

I just wanna leave this desperate place and love only you
But I can't walk out the door , I'm too afraid of everything I will lose
So let's hold each other tight for just one more night 
In the morning have a kiss and say goodbye 
Cause, I can never be your second choice    
Girl, you will never ever be my second choice  
No, you were never ever my second choice  
You're my number one 

It just aint fair 

Second Choice (country duet - written by Mike Maher)

Save Me (music & lyrics by Mike Maher)

Walking out on life's highway 
In the cold winds of yesterday 
I was a tainted, lonely child  
Looking for a place to hide
Daddy drinking most of the time 
Mama might as well been blind 
To the sins committed in that little farmhouse 
That stood on the edge of that quiet small town 

Where my dreams of tomorrow shined  bright 
As I'd leave this cold dark place behind 
When you drove up in that old Ford truck 
With a dozen long stemmed roses 
I'd step off of that broke down porch 
Weathered by sun and endless storms 
Cross that stone walkway  
In your arms, so you can take me away

And...Save me
C'mon and change me 
I'm too good to be left behind 
Raise me 
Break the chains that chained me 
Turn the key, unlock the gate 
Carry me away 
And make our dreams come true 

Passing time in that little back room 
Hoping the day would come real soon 
Knelt down each night to pray 
Climb into the bed to sleep away my pain
Shadow of the setting sun 
You heard my voice and knew I was the one 
You rode 200 miles a day 
To pull me into your arms so you could take me away 

And...Save me
C'mon and change me 
I'm too good to be left behind 
Raise me 
Break the chains that chained me 
Turn the key and unlock the gate 
Carry me away 
And make our dreams come true  

You can't let this old world get ya down 
Gotta keep on goin' when ya just wanna fall right on the ground 
Aint no use in stoppin' 
Even when ya feel like droppin' 
Cause something good might be coming around

Save me,
C'mon and change me 
I'm too good to be left behind 
Raise me 
Break the chains that chained me 
Turn the key and unlock the gate 
Carry me far away 
Oh
And just make our dreams come true
And make our dreams come true

Project 14 Demo2

Been A Long Time

Revenge Song

There's nothing like a cold hard harmony
I guilt trippin', heart rippin' melody
A lyric that will make him say
He's sorry, sorry, sorry
When that boy goes and does me wrong
Gonna make sure I put a little hell on his heart
Gonna strike a pen through this loves dead end
And write a song that he won't forget

I can burn his pictures
Smash his windshield
Drink until the sun comes up
Waste a thousand tears 
Over 2 long years
Realizing that's enough's enough

Honey I'm gonna put your world to shame
Gonna make this whole town know your name
Cause there's nothing that fixes a heart done wrong
Quite like a revenge song

In a small town word spreads fast
Your secrets, boy, they'll never last
I'll recount your lies
Every tear I've cried
Tell them all in a song 
With these words that rhyme

i will burn your pictures
Smash your windshield
Drink until the sun comes up
Waste a thousand tears 
Over 2 long years
Realizing that's enough's enough

Honey I'm gonna put your world to shame
Make sure this whole town knows your name
Cause there's nothing that fixes a heart done wrong
Quite like a revenge song

I hope it's on repeat
Playing over in your head
To remind you of me
Every time she sleeps in your bed

Honey I'm gonna put your world to shame
Make sure this whole town knows your name
Cause there's nothing that fixes a heart done wrong
Quite like a revenge song
No, quite like a revenge song
Quite like a revenge song
