Track Name: 20/20
20/20

Chorus:
If I knew if I knew then
What I know what I know now
I could see I could see
Everything in 20/20

Verse 1:
Looking back, I see it all so clearly
Like a movie in my head
Candlelight, you dancing in that sundress
N’ lazy Sundays’ in our bed

Pre-Chorus:
I never noticed it unravel
But I’d give my soul to travel
Back to when we had it all (baby)

Chorus:
If I knew if I knew then
What I know what I know now
I could see I could see
Everything in 20/20
If could I would rewind
To a time when you were mind
Looking back I was so blind
But now I see in 20/20

Verse 2:
Late last night, I felt the tears upon my chest
And smelled the perfume in your hair
And in that dream, I held you and said everything
I shoulda said when you were here

Pre-Chorus:
But my Crystal Ball was broken
And those words just went unspoken
I couldn’t see we had it all

Chorus: Same

Bridge:
Baby they say we learn from our mistakes
And the one thing I’d undo is letting you walk away

Breakdown Chorus:
If I knew if I knew then
What I know what I know now
I could see You and Me
And everything in 20/20

Chorus Out:
If I knew if I knew then
What I know what I know now
I could see I could see
Everything in 20/20
If could I would rewind
To a time when you were mind
Looking back I was so blind
But now I see in 20/20
Track Name: Boots
Boots

(Verse)
Looking like I am dressed for trouble
Can't promise to play nice
Put my heels back on the shelf
Cause I'm rocking' boots tonight
I'm gonna strut into a bar
Raise burn up the floor
Gonna take my halo off
And leave it at the door.


(Pre-Chorus)
Cause I'm in the mood
To Shake things up
I'm gonna do things that'll make a bad man blush

(Chorus)
Just so you know
How this story's gonna go
One swing of these hips
And baby I'll have you sweatin' this all
Night Long, till dawn, oh you'll be singing my song
Cause you know I can't do a damn thing wrong
When I got my boots on

(Verse 2)
Music's loud, the band, the crowd, I cut right past the line
Throw my jacket on bar ain't wasting no more time
Tonight I'm dynamite I'm blowing minds and making noise
I'm gonna separate the men from all you little boys

(Pre-Chorus)
Hands in the air
The boots hit the floor
I have you screaming for more more more..

(Bridge)
I gonna make some bad decisions
Take it a bit to far
Everyday I'm be plain ol' jane
But tonight I'll be the star
Track Name: Cupcakes & Wine
Cupcakes & Wine

Out a bed
Up at dawn
Babe I got my apron on
Oven’s hot
Stove is burnin’
I’ve got my mixer turnin’
Smells so good
Smells so sweet
Can’t wait for you to see
‘Cause baby you know what I need

(Chorus)
Oo Oo baby now give me a taste
Sweet Talk me baby now come right this way
Oo Oo baby now don’t make me wait
Sit right down, take a bite, grab a glass with me tonight
Only got one thing on my mind
Let’s have cupcakes and wine

I’ll be your picture perfect fantasy
Pearls and heels look good on me
You’ve been working hard all day
Let me take your stress away
Light off, candles burnin’, you know what I’ve been yearning for
When you walk through that door

(Chorus)
Oo Oo baby now give me a taste
Sweet Talk me baby now come right this way
Oo Oo baby now don’t make me wait
Sit right down, take a bite, grab a glass with me tonight
Only got one thing on my mind
Let’s have cupcakes and wine

(Bridge)
sugar sweet on my lips
drink it in, take a sip
cause baby you know what need

(Chorus)
Track Name: Skinny Dippin'
Skinny Dippin'

Verse 1:
She's got her pretty painted toes diggin' in the sand
She's got those Ray-Bans on soaking' in a tan
We're kickin' back on some beach chairs
Waitin' on the sun to go down

Pre:
'Cause that polka dot bikini is hugging her tight
and I can't wait to see those tan lines tonight

Chorus:
We're going Skinny Dippin'
We'll be late night swimmin'
Both our bodies drippin'
In the warm moonlight

Oh and it gets hotter
When we're under water
With my arms around her
It just feels so right
Yeah we're skinny skinny dippin' tonight

Verse 2:
As the sun starts sinkin' under the waves
I cant help thinking bout the ways we can misbehave
so if you're thinking what I'm thinking
then baby let's do this thing

Pre:
Now were runnin' towards the water the sand's so soft
'cause when those stars turn on the clothes come off

Chorus:


Bridge:
Waves start crashing
Feel the rush of the tide
Been waiting all day
To stay here all night

We're skinny dipping' …….
We're just late night swimming …

Chorus out
Track Name: I Kinda Like It
oooh la la la la....

Verse 1:
You got it going on
But hold up you're coming on to strong
I like 'em rough and tough
strong hands but a sensitive touch

Tight jeans and a white t-shirt
Like BOOM set me off like a firework
You got me going crazy
But Mama said, "Act like a lady"

Pre:
I know you wanna take this further
And what mama don't know, ain't gonna hurt her... so!

Chorus:
Come on Come On
You've got that somethin'
When I'm with you my heart's a jumpin'
Moving too fast 'cause I cant deny it
oooh baby I kinda like it

Come on Come on
Kiss me the right way
Full speed ahead
Drivin' me crazy
Come on Come on
I can't fight it
oooh baby I kinda like it...

Verse 2:
Hold up! Get your foot off the gas
Ya better slow down for a piece of this "shhh"
Hearts racin' feelin' right
Who says its gonna be tonight

Pre:
You got me spinnin' straight outta control
When I'm with you I just wanna let go... so!

Chorus:

Bridge:
When you kiss my neck and rub my shoulders
Shift me in gear and I'll let you take over

Oooh la la la la...

Track Name: Love Takes Work (Demo)
Love Takes Work

Verse 1:
Through the door I hear her cryin’ on the phone
She said, “Mama sometimes I feel so alone”
She said, “Things used to be perfect
but I don’t know if its worth it anymore”

I walked out ‘fore she knew I was home
Didn’t realize how far apart we’d grown
From a tired old pay phone I called my old man
He said, “Son, if I told you once, I’ll tell you again…

Chorus:
“Love takes work sometimes
It ain’t always easy you gonna fight and cross that line
Love takes work sometimes
It ain’t always pretty
You gotta get your hands dirty
You gotta throw away your pride like an old t-shirt
Yeah, Love takes work”

Verse 2:
Well I came home to find here curled up on the bed
With tears in her eyes she looked at me and said
“I’m thinking ‘bout leaving
Can you give me a reason to stay?’
As I dried her eyes I knew just what to say…

Chorus 2:
Love takes work sometimes
It ain’t always easy we gonna fight and cross that line
Honey love takes work sometimes
It ain’t always pretty
We gotta get our hands dirty
We gotta throw away our pride like and old t-shirt
Yeah love takes…

Bridge:
Slammin’ doors on a Sunday night
A whole week when all we do is fight
Makin’ war when we should be makin’ love
But we can make this garden grow
With a little bit of faith and a little bit of hope
And a lot of not giving up…I’m not giving up

Chorus 3:
Love takes work sometimes
It ain’t always easy we gonna fight and cross that line
Love takes work sometimes
It ain’t always pretty
We gotta get our hands dirty
We gotta do our best to prove what this is worth
Love takes work…
(Don’t give up)
Love Takes Works
(Just give)
Love Takes Work
(Don’t give up)

Track Name: The Best That Never Was
The Best That Never Was

Verse 1:
Oh girl, don’t you look at me that way
The Summer’s gone and I know you ain’t here to stay

And when you leave
you keep looking back at me
Before you go
Baby I want you to know


Chorus:
I’ll smile when you say
You’ll be back again someday
I’ll call and you’ll write
And we’ll get through these lonely nights
This could be love
Or The Best That Never Was


Verse 2:
The lights go down on this town but I still see your face
Thinking ‘bout you and it brings light back to this place


Burning so bright
When I close my eyes
I hold on tight
Baby never tell ya (say) goodbye


Chorus: Same

Bridge: This could be everything….

Chorus Breakdown:
I’ll smile when you say you’ll be back again someday
And I’ll call and you’ll write and we’ll forget these lonely nights
This could be love
Oooohhh
This could be, This could be love……

Chorus Out:
