“Amanda” by Waylon Jennings

I’ve held it all inward
Lord knows I’ve tried
It’s an awful awakenin’
In a country boy’s life

When you look in the mirror
In total surprise
At the hair on your shoulders
And the age in your eyes.

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife.

Well the measure of people
Don’t understand
The pleasures of life
In a hillbilly band
I got my first guitar
When I was fourteen
Now I’m crowding thirty
And still wearin’ jeans.

Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife
Amanda light of my life
Fate should have made you a gentleman’s wife.

“Paper Mansions” by Dottie West

Don’t build for me no paper mansions
That only stand until you’ve gone
You’ve paint the nastiest futures of anyone I know

You always leave me holding on to pretty words that glow
You’ve built a thousand mansions out of dreams that seemed so strong
But they’re always made of paper not of stone
Don’t build for me no paper mansion
That I can never call my own
For love can’t live in paper mansions
That only stands until you’ve gone

[Piano]

You’ve always been a dreamer dear and I’m a dreamer too
But I guess I’ve had too many of the time that don’t come true
So don’t build me no mansion with paper walls so thin
That only stand until you leave again
Don’t build for me no paper mansion
That I can never call my own
For love can’t live in paper mansions
That only stands until you’ve gone

“Girl Crush” by Little Big Town

I got a girl crush
Hate to admit it but
I got a heart rush
Ain’t slowing down

I got it real bad
Want everything she has
That smile and that midnight laugh
She’s giving you now

I want to taste her lips
Yeah, ’cause they taste like you
I want to drown myself
In a bottle of her perfume
I want her long blonde hair
I want her magic touch
Yeah, ’cause maybe then
You’d want me just as much
I got a girl crush
I got a girl crush

I don’t get no sleep
I don’t get no peace
Thinking about her
Under your bed sheets
The way that she’s whispering
The way that she’s pulling you in
Lord knows I’ve tried,
I can’t get her off my mind

I want to taste her lips
Yeah, ’cause they taste like you
I want to drown myself
In a bottle of her perfume
I want her long blonde hair
I want her magic touch
Yeah, ’cause maybe then
You’d want me just as much
I got a girl crush
I got a girl crush
Hate to admit it but
I got a heart rush
It ain’t slowing down

“Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” by Various from Roberta

They asked me how I knew,
My true love was true,
Oh-oh-oh-oh, I, of course, replied,
“Something here inside,
Cannot be denied.”

They said, “Someday you’ll find,
All who love are blind.
Oh-oh-oh-oh, when your heart’s on fire,
You must realize,
Smoke gets in your eyes.”

So I chaffed them,
And I gaily laughed,
To think they could doubt my love.
Yet today, my love has flown away.
I am without my love.

Now, laughing friends deride,
Tears I cannot hide.
Oh-oh-oh-oh, so I smile and say,
“When a lovely flame dies,
Smoke gets in your eyes.”
Smoke gets in your eyes.

“Threshold” by Anna Waronker from Castle

Inside this life,
Under it’s spell,
I close my eyes,
And live to tell.
The hands we’re dealt will never disappear.
Death she grows near.

People change and instantly.
I’m not the same girl I used to be.
I can’t erase all the memories,
But I can explain,
If you’re listening.
People change not just me.

Locked up in silence a living hell.
My heart still beats so I bid farewell.
The loving hand that saved me held too tight.
His darkness weighs on me at night.

People change and instantly.
I’m not the same girl I used to be.
I can’t erase all the memories,
But I can explain,
If you’re listening.
People change not just me.

I never asked or wanted to.
You stepped across my threshold,
How could you?
