Name on a Boat
Brian Gallagher/Alexsi Magazzi

V1
I met Annabella that summer I turned 18
At a Hard Rock pool party down on Daytona Beach
She was a smoke show running full throttle
I was nervous and nursin' a longneck bottle
We got to talking 'n somehow it just felt right
And the next thing I knew we were out on the dance floor
And not long later we were out that door
Made our way to the beach
Making waves in the sand in the moonlight

CH
She was pure sunshine, nothing but good vibes
Hotter than the sand in the summertime
My first taste of love and I still think of her
Every time that I see a shoreline
She's a memory that just won't let me go
She's reason I love the feel of the water
And now she's a name on a boat

V2
Ain't it funny how young love lives on in your mind
Gets you playing all those old memories ‘n hittin’ rewind 
Like when we were deep sea fishing off the coastline of Florida
And I was thinking she might like Lake Burton Georgia
So I cast my best line and tried to reel her in
Eight days and seven nights
Felt a lot like love and I thought we might
Have a shot at forever
But she knew better and she just smiled

Repeat CH

Every time I float this boat out here on the lake
I think about Daytona and the one that got away

Repeat CH
Annabella's the reason that I love the water
And now she’s a name on a boat

Name on a Boat (B. Gallagher/A. Mallory)

a love song co-written with Billy McDowell

I'm All In

Trust in Me

I'll Help You Write Your Song (solo acoustic)

Girl Heart

Too much red wine runnin’ thru my veins
It numbs the pain I’m in
Can I trust what I’m feelin', and believe the words you say
Cause I’ve been here before, high on cloud nine 
‘n watched the fairy tale fade away  

When I cry, I break, I’m a walkin’ mistake
Yeah, sometimes I feel this way...

CHORUS 1
If I showed you my girl heart
If I opened it all up
Would you like what you see
Or would you just run away from me
Would the things that make me, me
Be the reasons you’d wanna leave
My body, my brain, my love, my insane…
What if I showed you? What if I showed you?
My girl heart

V2
Do you even know what you’re in for
Tears on the bathroom floor
Not some dreamy movie scene, a messed up beautiful thing
You’re all in this time, yeah, you’re really sure
You wouldn’t change me for anything
Oh no...
Watch me fly, so high, I touch the sky
Yeah, sometimes I feel this way... 

REPEAT CHORUS 1

Would I be too much or would I never be enough

FINAL CHORUS
If I showed you my girl heart
If I opened it all up
Would you like what you see
Would it bring you closer to me
Would the things that make me, me
Be the reasons you’d never leave
My body, my brain, my love, my insane…
What if I showed you? What if I showed you?
My girl heart
My girl heart...

Trust in Me
