Lyrics below.
From the debut album All Them Ghosts (currently being resurrected)

Patsy Cline is a song about desperate love and a tribute to one of the greatest singers this world has ever known.

--

He took from her every reason she had to smile 
He turned her into some kind of Patsy Cline 
We all see the victim but there ain’t no crime 
He turned her into some kind of Patsy Cline 

She says “I love my man I’ll stand right by his side” 
Everybody knows he doesn’t treat her right 
She says “I’ll love him until the day I die” 
She’s a fool by choice, she believes when he lies 

She knows she’s heading to a wall 
She knows she’s bound to fall 
She says “For him I would kill, 
He’s my man and that’s all that’s real” 

He pays no attention to the tears in her eyes 
He turned her into some kind of Patsy Cline 
We all see the victim but there ain’t no crime 
He turned her into some kind of Patsy Cline

She knows she’s heading to a wall 
She knows she’s bound to fall 
She says “For him I would kill, 
He’s my man and that’s all that’s real”

Patsy Cline

My take on the legendary heart breaking ballad and a warm up for the upcoming record. Thanks for stopping by.

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry


I wish I could start a car on the street
Throw my bag on the passenger seat
And drive through the pouring rain to your house
Screeching tires, blinding car lights

I’d drive like Steve McQueen
I’d drive like Steve McQueen

I would honk the dead back to life
Scream your name in the pouring rain
With both my arms raised to your balcony
I’d scream how much I love you, that we should marry

I’d drive like Steve McQueen
I’d drive like Steve McQueen

How it all went wrong is an old story
Of pride, unspoken words and bad timing
But I’d drive because love is so much stronger
Than the clumsiness of its owner

I’d drive like Steve McQueen
I’d drive like Steve McQueen

I can’t open a car without the keys
I don’t own a damn car and I’m scared that maybe
You’ll keep your window closed and call the police
You’ll keep your window closed and call the police
There’s a girl out there she says she’s Steve McQueen  
I ain’t no Steve McQueen….I ain’t no Steve McQueen.

Drive Like Steve McQueen

He said "I never loved another 	
I never touched another one
Wanted to be your daughter’s father
And the father of your first son

Build a house that’s like no other
A place for us to call our home
To love you every single hour
And long after we’re dead and gone

But you chose to love another
And then again another one
Stepped with your boots upon my flowers (your boots upon my flowers)
Coz Sugar, no tienes corazón

I won’t kill you or your lover
In the morning I’ll just be gone
And I will never love another
I’ll never trust another one

Sugar, no tienes corazón
Sugar, no tienes corazón
Sugar, no tienes corazón."


No Tienes Corazon

I sinned a lot
I liked it a lot
I been to jail
For beating up a cop
I traveled far
I broke some hearts 
 Them girls down South
Love a ramblin man

In Tijuana, In Ciudad Juarez
In El Paso and Louisiana
I hid from the law  
And a few Mexicans
Wanderin’ down a highway with no end

But now I’m old
Before my time
My stories are cold
Heard a million times
Nobody cares
Just empty words
My life on the road
Is a broken record
A broken record

Broken Record

The first single off the new record "Fearless Heart" out February 2018.

I left my home I even left my dog
To go to that town we were dreamin’ of
To follow a dream I don’t believe in 
Follow the twang of all those guitars ringin’

Took a bus and then took a plane
Rented a car when I missed the train
I slept at the motel, I slept in a car
Had nowhere to go so I stayed at the bar

And now now now now here I am
Now now now now here I stand
25 bucks and a guitar in my hand
Never wished so hard I had just one true friend

I miss my home, Lord I miss my dog
And when I cry it’s her I’m thinking of
Tennessee’s a beauty and the people are kind
It’s not the place, man it’s just all in my mind

And now now now now here I am
Now now now now here I stand
17 bucks and a guitar in my hand
I never wished so hard I had just one true friend

And now now now now here I am
Now now now now here I stand
I came for the lights and I came for the thrill
I came for what’s fake and hoped some of it is real
I’m the loneliest girl.... in Nashville

I came for the lights and I came for the thrill
I came for what’s fake and hoped some of it is real
I’m the loneliest girl.... in Nashville
I’m the loneliest girl.... in Nashville

Loneliest Girl in Nashville

I felt so blue, I felt so lonesome 
I couldn’t stand the sight of snow 
I couldn’t take this merry cold 
Despite 4 layers under my coat

I bought a ticket at the airport 
To Atlanta on a flight from Frankfurt 
I had no luggage of any sort 
Well not the kind they check you for

I felt so blue, I was so lonely 
Christmas should never feel like this 
But I sent a postcard to my family 
Merry Christmas, with love from Paris

It’s because of you that I find myself here 
Because you ruined the best time of the year 
In a little room just watching TV 
Alone for Christmas, Alone in Paris 
Alone for Christmas, AloneinParis, 
Tennessee

I felt so lonesome, I was so blue 
I couldn’t stand this night without you 
I couldn’t take the joy, the lights, the songs 
And the market down the avenue

I felt so blue, I was so lonely 
Christmas should never feel like this 
But I sent a postcard to my family 
Merry Christmas, with love from Paris

It’s because of you that I find myself here 
Because you ruined the best time of the year 
In a little room just watching TV 
Alone for Christmas, Alone in Paris 
Alone for Christmas, AloneinParis, 
Tennesseee

And who wouldn't want to spend Christmas in Paris?

Christmas In Paris, TN

I wish I knew how to make it start again
Kickstart it like the engine of a vintage car
I wish I could just try to love again
I used to do just fine but this has gone way too far

No matter the hurt no matter the doubt
I try to breathe in, man I try to breathe out
Keep that chin up and hope to keep
A fearless heart
A fearless heart

I wish I could erase some of the things we said 
Forget the pain, the mess we made, forget the past 
The look on your face when you saw that we failed
Our broken love story and the shadows it still casts

I wish I could restart it like the engine of a vintage car
I wish I could restart it oh I wish I had a fearless heart

No matter the hurt no matter the doubt
I try to breathe in, man I try to breathe out
Keep that chin up and hope to keep
A fearless heart
A fearless heart

Fearless Heart

Oh darling my darling 
Let’s get on our way 
Oh darling my darling 
Tell me what would you say 
If we’d hit the road 
If we’d quit our jobs 
Let’s break a little law 
Let’s feel a little joy

Oh darling my darling 
You know anything goes 
So darling my darling 
Let’s be outlaws

Oh darling my darling 
This ain’t the life we chose 
Forced to make a living
All the while we grow old

Oh darling my darling 
Let’s turn the tables 
Let’s get back on the road 
You know I’m willing and I’m able 
Please darling my darling 
Let’s be something more 
Darling my darling 
Let’s be outlaws

Let’s be outlaws

From the new record Fearless Heart - Out Now

Let's Be Outlaws

So you went back to Texas
You’re probably in Gainesville tonight
Or maybe already in Austin 
While I been here drinkin’ since 5
It's just a few hundred miles
Oh what’s a few hundred miles?
		 	 
I wish there were highways 
To lead me straight to your heart
  
And I don't know what happens next
Lord I don't know just what happens next
I'm just sitting here, smoking
And hoping for the best

And I can't really call you mine
But there was something there that night
That makes you linger around in my mind
That makes my heart a heavy heart
It's just a few hundred miles
Oh what’s a few hundred miles?

And I don't know what happens next
Lord I don't know what happens next
I'm just sittin’ here hoping for the best
Lightning my nineteenth cigarette
While the lights went on in the park
It gets so beautiful here after dark
With them neon lights and the slow passing cars
Tell me is Texas really all that far? 
Oh is Texas really all that far?

And I wish there were highways 
To lead me straight to your heart.

I sort out the poppy seeds from the earth,
Without my work there would be no colors" - She

Pauline Andres - Elastic Heart (Acoustic Apocalypse)

The new single by Pauline Andres
Oct. 12 2020

Is it a luxury to be sad over you
Now that the world seems to be coming to an end
Is it a waste of time to wait for you
If the whole wide world is going up in flames

And sometimes I cry coz I’m scared
Just like everybody else
What if this thing never ends
And what if it ends everything?

To me it don’t change a thing

I’ll love you til the end of the world
If it ends today
I’ll love you til the end of the world
If never ends

And sometimes I smile as  I wish
I could hide my head on your chest
I could feel your hand through my hair
I could hear you say

oh let me hear you say it

I’ll love you til the end of the world
If it ends today
I’ll love you til the end of the world
If never ends

I’ll love you til the end of the world
If it ends today
I’ll love you til the end of the world
I’ll love you til the end of the world
If it ends today
I’ll love you til the end of the world
If never, never, never
Never ends.
