Dedicated to my Dad, who by example, was always "showing me the ropes".  He said if you want something... go get it. No one is going to hand it to you.  I miss you Dad...thank you for all you taught me.

[Verse]
The current pulls me far and wide
No anchor to hold me down
But I don't mind
What I can't yet see
The ocean whispers
come explore the deep with me

[Verse]
Under the glow of the
 disco ball moon
The waves dance
They call my name
They say, luv take a chance
On life's great unknowns
I said, Okay...
The Great Unknown 
Is where I'll stake my claim

[Chorus]
How can I be lost, when I feel so free?
I cast-away all the things, I don't wanna be 
I'll go wherever the compass leads
Just like my Daddy did, when he sailed the 7 seas, before me 

He told me
my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams
my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams

( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 
( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 

[Bridge]
Sometimes the bitter cold, sea winds blow 
How I'll survive, I really don't know
 my blue skies, turn inky black from angry storms
when my hull is tossed and battered
and all my sails are ripped and torn 

[Bridge]
But I survived 
Why is it, that's when I feel the most alive???
I feel alive !

My sea legs are steady
I raise mended sails with my bare hands  
I have known since
I was a little girl 
my feet were never meant for sand
They were never meant for sand

[Chorus]
How can I be lost, when I feel so free?
I cast away all the things, I don't wanna be 
I'll go wherever the compass leads
Just like my Daddy did, when he sailed the 7 seas, before me

He told me 

my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams
my sails were always rigged for chasing dreams

( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 
( chasing, chasing, chasing dreams ) 

The current pulls me far and wide
No anchor to hold me down
But I don't mind

because I know what it means ...
 I'll always be chasing dreams

RIGGED

At heart, I  am an emotionally honest, lyrically driven storyteller. I  love the written word. I love wrapping music around words in a musical story that is flavored with Indie, folk, country, classic rock,  jazz, blues, ballads anthems. 

 I hope you enjoy The Stories She Tells.  ; )
