Death Note Musical NY Demo [Rem] When Love Comes

Verse 1:
I can still feel Mama's hands braiding my hair 
Before school in that little cabin 
Daddy's old guitar leaning by the stove 
Had more cracks than strings
But Lord, how it could sing

I remember standing on that old wood crate 
So I could reach the kitchen counter 
Singing harmony while Mama kneaded bread 
Never dreaming anybody else might want to hear

Chorus:
I never set out to be anybody special 
Just a girl with too many songs in her head 
Now they play my music in places I can't pronounce 
But I still write 'em here where it all began

Verse 2:
I'll never forget that first day in Nashville 
Cardboard suitcase held together with tape
Porter Wagoner looked at me like I was crazy 
Till I opened my mouth and sang "Dumb Blonde"
Stayed up all night in that little apartment 
Writing down every melody in my head 
Afraid if I went to sleep they'd disappear
 Like morning mist back home in the mountains

Chorus:
I never set out to be anybody special 
Just a girl with too many songs in her head 
Now they play my music in places I can't pronounce 
But I still write 'em here where it all began

Bridge:
Got a letter yesterday from a little girl in Mississippi 
Said she's reading her first book 'cause of the library 
I just smiled and poured another cup of coffee 
Thinking 'bout that little cabin where books were scarce
When they called about the vaccine research 
I just said "Well, honey, how much do you need?" 
Ain't no point in having blessings 
If you don't pass 'em around like biscuits

Verse 3:
Hollywood tried to change me for a while 
Said I was "too country," "too much" 
But I kept wearing my own dresses 
Kept singing in my own voice
Now I got a theme park with my name on it 
Kids laughing on rides I dreamed up 
But my favorite sound is still Mama's old hymns 
Echoing through these mountains

Final Chorus
I never set out to be anybody special 
Just a girl with too many songs in her head 
Now they play my music in places I can't pronounce 
But I still write 'em here where it all began
Yeah, I still write 'em here 
Where it all began

Outro:
Coffee's getting cold 
But the songs keep coming 
Some things never change 
Thank the good Lord above

We All Need a Hero

Nerds
