lyrics

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

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
