The shit just fell Oh, can’t you tell That I'm tryin to love you But this just ain’t the kind of thing that I do I’ve never been The kind of girl To pursue no lovin But it’s time, I think this time I’ll let someone through Woman’s wings on the borrow so I can open up and fall into you Now don’t you think That I’m the kind To outdo my lovin Won’t let start something I don’t think I can’t get through But there’s a thing About you I could do Oh, your lovin Is something I think this time I could sure get used to Woman’s wings on the borrow so I can open up and fall into you Woman’s wings on the borrow ain’t something Ill soon get used to Oh, it seems all this time I’ve been runnin Away from myself and all this time closer to you But wait I can’t tell where it stops since I started to let you in I borrowed these wings and I’m stumbling underneath the weight Now don’t you think That you’re the guy That’s gonna break through this tough skin I’ve been tried Lord and I have been through But if you’re nice I think I might Make an allowance for you, might let you in I’ll make my flittin’ and flutterin’ kind of debut Woman’s wings on the borrow so I can open up and fall into you Woman’s wings on the borrow aint something Ill soon get used to Woman’s wings on the borrow so I can open up and fall into you

I keep to myself Most of the time I go it alone I like to keep it mine I’m not blind I see it in their eyes don’t think I could be satisfied I guess I’m just funny that way I keep to myself But I keep a man Only go to him late at night But I like to keep him mine I’m not blind, I’d see it in his eyes, don’t think that he’s not satisfied I guess he’s just funny that way I know it’s criticized ill-advised stigmatized that’s alright I won’t apologize or dignify your shame by making it mine I won’t wear a disguise Think you’ve got it right Cause you keep a wife You go with the flow You like to keep it light I’m not blind I see it in your eyes thinkin there’s only one way to live a life I guess you’re just funny that way I don’t need protection I don’t need the fold I realize that you see things in black and white But cause it’s working for you doesn’t mean it’s right I guess things are funny that way

Well I woke up this morning from the beauty sleep I needed on the wrong side of the bed and in your boots And I knew it was no good that I’d be into for the day, but I just thought if I was you I couldn’t lose I pulled myself up by your straps I let myself out through the back I stopped and gave the day your critical review And I made caterpillar tracks down to the pass to get the facts about the low down way you do the things you do Walked a mile In your shoes Walked myself right out of love with you I made a point to fail to do the things I knew I needed to like make it right, or make the time or make the call I climbed the fence and I just sat there thought of neither this nor that there I just sat and watched it make into a wall I made a mess I made a racket made believe and made to back it I made bricks without the straw or wherewithal And I made light of making black out of the fire I might have if I’d just light one on my ass and risk the fall Walked a mile In your shoes Walked myself right out of love with you You’re callin baby come on back sit down let’s take time for a chat let’s talk Let’s make a plan for that let’s think this through Yeah you want your old girl back, begging to break the looking-glass You’re cryin what got into me well babe it’s you I made molehills out of mountains threw my dollar bills in wishing fountains kept the pennies for me to stack myself up to I counted sheep to keep awake so I could sleep right through my better days no dreaming only yarns to watch undo I was you behind your back I did the things that make me mad now I believe I understand the things you do Yeah I boned up on my bad boy and now you want your old girl back I’ve blown the whistle on your ways and I approve Walked a mile In your shoes Walked myself right out of love with you I did my best to drop the bar lower my sights and never go too far did things I knew I’d never face up to And I saw heaven in a hell I thought I knew you knew so well damn that I never thought to jump the fire with you I was you behind your back I did the things that make me mad now I believe I understand the things you do Yeah I boned up on my bad and now you want your old girl back you’ve blown the whistle and I’m walkin out on you Walked a mile In your shoes Walked myself right out of love with you

Damage Done 05:13
Well we knew that it was wrong But there were nights we drank till dawn And dawn's a promise new days always come Well we meant to take just one, we didn’t know what we’d begun Because the sun did not forget the damage done And we were gone, with the damage done And we were gone, with the damage done It’s easy to keep on, with the damage done Thought the shadows of the day would show no memory of the night No strings or things that loving brings Just on and off like black and white Well these shadows are a funny thing The darker nights become They trail me closer in the day, the more the damage done Oh we were gone, with the damage done Oh we were gone, with the damage done It’s easy to keep on, with the damage done Tonight the shadows met the light And darkness took the sun No shy hellos or long goodbyes The night it stretches on and on And lovers wander in the streets Not one has to go home Tonight all promises recede With the damage done Oh we were gone, with the damage done Oh we were gone, with the damage done It’s easy to keep on, with the damage done

I’m a rough and tumble woman Got some rough and tumble ways In the rough and tumble, baby Is how I like to spend my days Now I know you got your business, babe I won’t look the other way You want me play like you’re a good boy But that’s just not why I came Cause I’m in the mood To rough and tumble with you Yeah I’m in the mood To rough and tumble with you Yeah you think I’m pretty high class, honey Think I got no dues to pay But I’m a real woman, baby, and twice your man, maybe I worked it so down low to say Wanna rough and tumble with you I’m a rough and tumble woman Got some rough and tumble ways In the rough and tumble, baby Is how I like to spend my days Now I don’t mean to quash your bigness, babe No, that’s not why I came But if you’re gonna be makin up rules for me, honey Don’t expect that I’m gonna obey Cause I’m in the mood To rough and tumble with you Yeah I’m in the mood To rough and tumble with you Yeah you think I’m pretty high class, honey Think I got no dues to pay But I’m a real woman, baby, and twice your man, maybe I worked it so down low to say that Wanna rough and tumble with you I’m a rough and tumble woman Got some rough and tumble ways In the rough and tumble, baby Is how I’m bound to spend my days

about

Coralee Nashville, Tennessee

"Coralee and the Townies are a Lexington, Kentucky based band of a genre they’ve self-defined as Honky Tonk Soul, and it’s a fitting description, as the sextet whoops and weeps with traditional authenticity and contemporary energy, with Coralee’s husky vocals front and center and the Townies providing a righteous, raucous rootenanny soundtrack around her." ~Brian Baker (CityBeat) ... more
