No Longer Mine
04:13

I know that I don't make it very easy
I ain’t sure we'd make it out alive
I would beg for just a little mercy
Or just another chance to make you mine
Ain’t no shame in dancing for a meal
Ain’t afraid to get down on my knees
I would beg, or borrow. I would steal
For just another chance to make you see
When that river is no longer runnin’
And the sun no longer shines
I will know deep in my heart babe
That you’re no longer mine
You’re no longer mine
Well I can see that sun and it’s a setting
We’re both slowly running out of time
Every night it knows where it’s a’heading
And every night you’re back here in my mind
When that river is no longer runnin’
And the sun no longer shines
I will know deep in my heart babe
That you’re no longer mine
You’re no longer mine
I know that every heart is fit for breaking
And everything we do is moving on
But that don’t mean that I’ll be fit for taking
Another day alone when you have gone
When that river is no longer runnin’
And the sun no longer shines
I will know deep in my heart babe
That you’re no longer mine
You’re no longer mine
You’re no longer mine
You’re no longer mine

Midwestern Daughter
03:34
|

|
I wanted red roses
Cause I know what you like
But folks here they know me
So I settled for white
A handful of daisies
And a heartful of years
Living in lying
And Loving in fear
A man’s gonna say whatever he chooses
And he’ll be just fine if he wins or he loses
But oh god forbid I write a love song for you
Cause I’m a midwestern daughter
And you are too
A God-fearing daddy
Loves his little girl
Well he don’t know better
In his little world
A midwestern daughter
You tiptoe around
And cross-stitch a rainbow
In a black and white town
A man’s gonna say whatever he chooses
And he’ll be just fine if he wins or he loses
But oh god forbid I write a love song for you
Cause I’m a midwestern daughter
And you are too
We may feel like we’re alone
And making it up as we go
We can’t turn our heart off
Been here all along
We’re burying what we all know
A man’s gonna say whatever he chooses
And he’ll be just fine if he wins or he loses
But oh god forbid I write a love song for you
Cause I’m a midwestern daughter
And you are too
I wanted red roses
Cause I know what you like
But folks here they know me
So I settled for white

Better Things
03:22
|

|
Well you told me that I was the one
But you left before I was done
And I never blamed you
No I never blamed you
Well you opened the door to my heart
But a gust of wind came and blew us apart
And I never found you
No I never found you
Cause you, you’re impossible to please
Bringin’ everyone down to their knees
And I, I’ve got better things to do
Than waiting around for you
Well I thought that I cared, but I don’t
And I tried to make it work, but it won’t
And again I fail you
And again I fail you
And again I fail you
And again I fail you

Sun comes up and sun goes down
But shadows stay in this two road town
Hiding what’s too bright to see
And hiding who I am from me
Book club bull, I’ll be home late
Told him he don’t have to wait
Bellied up down at Seahorse Bar
Hoping no one sees your car
I’ve loved enough to feel lucky
Seen trouble enough to go blind
Turned tears into a rainbow
Like water into wine
Two AM and sneakin home
And back into the life I chose
Before I knew what might have been
And all I had was me and him
Sun comes up and sun goes down
I’m stuck here in this two road town
Living out his family dreams
But momma ain’t quite who she seems
I’ve loved enough to feel lucky
Seen trouble enough to go blind
Turned tears into a rainbow
Like water into wine
If miracles are gospel
And life is so divine
I’ll pray our paths together
Somewhere on down the line
I ain’t a righteous woman
Tomorrow ain’t for certain
I’ll hold you in this heart of mine
‘Cause love is worth the burden
I’ve loved enough to feel lucky
Seen trouble enough to go blind
Turned tears into a rainbow
Like water into wine
If miracles are gospel
And life is so divine
I’ll pray our paths together
Somewhere on down the line
I’ll pray our paths together
Somewhere on down the line

I’m sorry if I wore you down
And I’m sorry if I failed you
I didn’t mean to give your heart the run around
But this is true
I’m not sorry we were us
And I don’t care cause you were worth the fuss
I wish you well and I hope you know
No one’s ever gonna love you
No one’s ever gonna love you more
Well I don’t know what I was thinking
Maybe I tried not to see
That I could be the one you needed
We went together perfectly
I’m not sorry we were us
And I don’t care cause you were worth the fuss
I wish you well and I hope you know
No one’s ever gonna love you
No one’s ever gonna love you more
And I—
If I could go back in time
I’d find a different way to try
So I’m sorry that I wore you down
And I’m sorry that I failed you
I didn’t mean to give your heart a run around
But this is true
I’m not sorry we were us
And I don’t care cause you were worth the fuss
I wish you well and I hope you know
No one’s ever gonna love you
No one’s ever gonna love you, no
No one’s ever gonna love you more

Tough Act to Follow
02:46
|
|||
|
It’s been seven days since you left me
But who’s keeping track of time
You took your favorite clothes and your good perfume
Even though it smells a lot like mine
Not having you is a hard pill to swallow
I’ll miss you more and more every day
I’m thinkin you’re gonna be a tough act to follow
So take a bow
Before you take your your away
Don’t forget there’s money in the bread box
It’s mostly yours and smells like gasoline
Take half those brussel sprouts, I haven’t figured out
how to cook when it’s just me
Not having you is a hard pill to swallow
I’ll miss you more and more every day
I’m thinkin you’re gonna be a tough act to follow
So take a bow
Before you take your your away
The lights are growing dim
And the curtain’s closing in
And I don’t have the heart to watch this part again
Not having you is a hard pill to swallow
I’ll miss you more and more every day
I’m thinkin you’re gonna be a tough act to follow
So take a bow
Before you take your your away
Not having you is a hard pill to swallow
I’ll miss you more and more every day
I’m thinkin you’re gonna be a tough act to follow
So take a bow
Before you take your your away
So take a bow
Before you take your your away

$20 Bill
03:17

I can see that we ain’t found the bottom
Driftin’ while you’re reaching for a rope
But I’ll give up the high ground and live down in the low
And we’ll tread until we’re beatin’ or we’re broke
Trouble ourselves busted and we cry ourselves blue
The time we got is rusted and the tears ain’t nothing new
When it all comes down to dust, and the winds go still
We’re all passing around the same twenty dollar bill
I’d rather be the ashes of a ghost town
Smoldering with stories of the dead
I’d stoke the coals and blow upon the glowing fire
And light the way for all that’s up ahead
Trouble ourselves busted and we cry ourselves blue
The time we got is rusted and the tears ain’t nothing new
When it all comes down to dust, and the winds go still
We’re all passing around the same twenty dollar bill
It’s tattered and it may be missing corners
And old Jackson’s running out of time to kill
But it spends the same as ever and I know it always will
We’re all passing around the same twenty dollar bill
Trouble ourselves busted and we cry ourselves blue
The time we got is rusted and the tears ain’t nothing new
When it all comes down to dust, and the winds go still
We’re all passing around the same twenty dollar bill
Trouble ourselves busted and we cry ourselves blue
The time we got is rusted and the tears ain’t nothing new
When it all comes down to dust, and the winds go still
We’re all passing around the same twenty dollar bill

I can’t get enough of you
The way you see me like you do
Now I cant get my heart to
Beat any slower
I can’t get enough of you
The way you turn my world into
A kind of picture perfect view
Of growin older
With you
It’s the smell of your shampoo
And the way you make your eggs
It’s the way that black and white dress
brings my eyes down to your legs
It’s the way you call your grandma
And the way you love your dog
You take the wheel each time we’re drivin
Through that minnesota fog
I can’t get enough of you
The way you see me like you do
Now I cant get my heart to
Beat any slower
I can’t get enough of you
The way you turn my world into
A kind of picture perfect view
Of growin older
With you
You know just the way to love me
I melt with every word you say
Those two old ladies on their front porch swing
That’s gonna be us someday
You hold my hand to go to sleep now
And wake up first to draw the shades
You make the coffee taste so much sweeter
than our favorite breakfast place
It’s the way you say you want me
Like I’ve never heard before
It’s the way I don’t know how to write sad songs
anymore
I can’t get enough of you
The way you see me like you do
Now I cant get my heart to
Beat any slower
I can’t get enough of you
The way you turn my world into
A kind of picture perfect view
Of growin older
With you

One Way Ticket
03:27

Yesterday I was thinkin’
Things will never be the same
And today’s a little harder
Than it’s ever gonna be again
Can’t say if I would make it
If I was out here all alone
I ain’t’ going nowhere honey
So don’t you leave me on my own
We’re gonna find our way
We’re gonna be alright
We’re gonna make it through the day
We’re gonna make it through the night
We get a one way ticket
Then the ride runs out of gas
And to think we might have missed it
Looking ‘round for greener grass
When it gets a little dark out
And it’s tough to see the shine
You can take me at my word now, honey
It just takes a little time
We’re gonna find our way
We’re gonna be alright
We’re gonna make it through the day
We’re gonna make it through the night
And in the morning the sun will rise
And I’ll be lyin’ here by your side
We’re gonna find our way
Yeah we’ll be alright
I’m so tired but I can’t sleep
This ain’t hiding but I ain’t free
Been locked down in a minor key
But I won’t give up hope ‘cause I believe
We’re gonna find our way
We’re gonna be alright
We’re gonna make it through the day
We’re gonna make it through the night
And in the morning the sun will rise
And I’ll be lyin’ here by your side
We’re gonna find our way
Yeah we’ll be alright
We’re gonna find our way
Yeah we’ll be alright

My Sunshine
04:32
|

|
I think of you
When the wind blows through the trees
You’re on my mind
When the water’s calm enough to swim
Every morning
As the birds sing right outside our window
I long for the moment when our life can
begin
You might not have my smile
Your eyes won’t look like mine
The tone of our skin might not align
But I’ll give you my affection
I’ll give you all my time
I’ll make sure that you’re loved
You’ll be my sunshine
You’ll be the reason
I wake up every morning
If you want I’ll read you
The same story every night
If you are hurtin
I promise I’ll make it all better
I’m gonna love you with all my might
You might not have my smile
Your eyes won’t look like mine
The tone of our skin might not align
But I’ll give you my affection
I’ll give you all my time
I’ll make sure that you’re loved
You’ll be my sunshine
So Long as I’m living don’t be afraid
You’ll be my sunshine I’ll be your shade
So Long as I’m living darling don’t be afraid
You’ll be my sunshine I’ll be your shade
I’m gonna try to make you pancakes every Sunday
You’re gonna love
your other mom’s lemonade
I swear I’ll take you
To Fish Lake Road on the weekends
We’ll play in the sunshine,
And we’ll rest in shade
You might not have my smile
Your eyes won’t look like mine
The tone of our skin might not align
But I’ll give you my affection
I’ll give you all my time
I’ll make sure that you’re loved
You’ll be my sunshine
You’ll be my sunshine

Accidental Birds
by Dylan Hicks
supported by 4 fans who also own “Midwestern Daughter”
I am blown away by this album. It is beautiful and such an refreshing mixture of styles. Now that I've listened a number of times, I am drawn especially to tracks 6,1,2, 11, 7, 14. That's not to say I don't like the other songs; I think that this is Dylan's best record yet. But those ones especially draw me back.

Between Here and There
by Sarah Morris
supported by 4 fans who also own “Midwestern Daughter”
“Between Here and There” is my introduction to Sarah Morris’s recording catalog. It presents her pretty voice as clear, true, expressive, and flexible. Favorite track? It’s early; but probably “Be With You” with Andrew Foreman, possibly “Hold Me Now” with Graham Bramblett. Compare any of these four recordings to Morris’s part in Reina del Cid’s video of the rock classic, “One Fine Day,” originally a hit for The Chiffons, to get an idea of Morris’s versatility as a singer (RdC’s, too).
