Finally
Music & Lyrics by Jeanie Flowers
I’ve known since I was seventeen
I’d never be a beauty queen
My life was like that Janis Ian song
I waited, but you never called
‘Cause you were chasing Barbie dolls
I found my own Prince Charming and moved on
I never thought you’d given me a second glance
So when you asked if I was free
All I could think was, finally
But I’m finally free this time
And I’ve finally drawn the line
No, you can’t hurt me any more
I’m finally keeping score
And I’m finally over you
And I finally know it’s true
You never really were the one
And finally I’m done
All those years with all those bands
It took a while to understand
Why you hid your feelings for so long
But I had my secrets too
And I made sure you never knew
I was the one who loved you all along
I always knew there’d be a chance I’d play the fool
I guess I was mistaken when
I thought that you could love again
(chorus)
I never should have given you that second chance
It took some time but now I see
You fooled me twice, so shame on me
But I’m finally free this time
And I’ve finally drawn the line
No, you can’t hurt me any more
‘Cause finally I’m sure
That I’m finally over you
And I finally know it’s true
You never really were the one
And finally I’m done

Alone
Music & Lyrics by Jeanie Flowers
Every night I reach for you
Wanting you to hold me near
Needing you to warm me with your love
But in the morning when I wake up, I’m alone
Every night I dream of you
And all those nights when you were here
Speaking words of true, undying love
But in the morning when I wake up, I’m alone
Brush my hair, put on my makeup, and move on
I’ve got to learn to live without you
You were lying in my bed, now I’m trying hard
To live without you
I’ve got to learn to live without you
Give me loneliness instead of your lying heart
I’ll live without you
I while away the lonely hours
Think about how sad I’ve been
Tell myself I’m glad I’m on my own again
But in the morning when I wake up, I’m alone
Every morning since our breakup I have known
I’ve got to learn to live without you
You were lying in my bed, now I’m trying hard
To live without you
I’ve got to learn to live without you
Give me loneliness instead of your lying heart
Get out of my heart
Get out of my head
Get out of my life
Am I out of my mind
Starting all over again alone
Get out of my heart
Get out of my head
Get out of my life
Am I out of my mind
Starting all over again alone
I’ve got to learn to live without you
You were lying in my bed, and you were lying
I’ve got to learn to live without you
Give me loneliness instead
‘Cause I’m trying
To live without you
Am I out of my mind
Starting all over again alone

Alien Creatures
Music & Lyrics by Jeanie Flowers
Oh I remember Roy Rogers and Dale
The Lone Ranger and Tonto, too
The Sons of the Pioneers chiseled the trail
Doing things that all good cowboys do
Now, Roy trusted Trigger with all of his heart
And he led a generation or three
To believe that a horse was a cowboy’s best friend
But that horse was much more than what he seemed to be
(chorus)
Alien Creatures, or a cowboy’s best friend
I say they’re not of this earth
I think that they are all extraterrestrials
Malevolent beings from birth
Buffalo Bill was a trader, they say
Who helped tame the wild, wooly West
But I say he was just one more unsuspecting
Tool in a long term plan for earth’s conquest
(chorus)
Ole Roy loved his horse more than Roy loved his wife
The plan for erosion of family life
Deceived, he believed that his horse was his pal
This was all an illusion, my friend
‘Cause nine out of ten of the horses I’ve known
Were meaner than heck when they got you alone
Oh they’ll buck you and kick you and they’ll walk on your face
That’s their ultimate plan for the whole human race
Alien Creatures, or a cowboy’s best friend
I say they’re not of this earth
I think that they are all extraterrestrials
Malevolent beings from birth
If I could meet just one equine creation
Who wasn’t a threat to mankind
Oh, I might reconsider and change my position
But till then I’m not changing my mind
Alien creatures, alien creatures
Alien creatures, they’re a definite threat to mankind

Used To The Rain
Music & Lyrics by Jeanie Flowers
Threw all my clothes in the trunk of my car
Went to look for a job, didn’t get very far
Officer tells me I’m breaking the law
When I sleep on the street in the back of my car
I look for work every day, what am I supposed to do
When I’m forced to decide between shelter and food?
Moonlight, Headlight, Streetlight, Starlight
They shine like the light of the day
Good night, sleep tight, it’ll be alright
I made myself a promise today
But the whole world is cold when there’s nowhere to go
And you never get used to the rain
And you never get used to the rain
Paper today says they’re gonna tear down
That retaining wall out in the park
‘Cause the people out here tend to gather around
Seeking shelter from the wind in the dark
Homeowners, lawmakers, landlords, taxpayers
Say they don’t want us around
Street cop does his job, knows who he’s working for
He tells us to get outta town
Before the property values go down
Moonlight, Headlight, Streetlight, Starlight
They shine like the light of the day
Good night, sleep tight, it’ll be alright
I think I’m gonna make it okay
But the whole world is cold when there’s nowhere to go
And you never get used to the rain
And you never get used to the rain
Oh, there’s no place as cold as the heart of the man
Who would dare to deny me the right
To try to survive the only way that I can
When I don’t have the power to fight
Where’s the justice in life? Is it worth fighting for
When society makes it a crime to be poor
Who decided it’s a crime to be poor?
Moonlight, Headlight, Streetlight, Starlight
They shine like the light of the day
Good night, sleep tight, it’ll be alright
Tomorrow can’t be worse than today
But the whole world is cold when there’s nowhere to go
And you never get used to the rain
Moonlight, Headlight, Streetlight, Starlight
They shine like the light of the day
Good night, sleep tight, it’ll be alright
I’m running out of good things to say
‘Cause the whole world is cold when there’s nowhere to go
And you never get used to the rain
And you never get over the pain

I Believe
Music & Lyrics by Jeanie Flowers
Sailing ‘cross the water, he comes silently
Bathed in golden sunlight from the dawn
I watch and wait as morning brings my love to me
A cold wind blows, I wake, the dream is gone
But I believe one day he’ll come to me
To carry me away from my dark reality
Yes, I believe, Oh I believe
On a white horse, dark hair flying in the breeze
He sweeps me off my feet, away we ride
To a castle far away, surrounded by trees
I’m happy ever after by his side
Then comes the dawn, I wake to find him gone
No prince is by my side so still alone I’ll ride
But I believe, yes I believe
I believe he’ll come to me
Exit this reality
We’ll be flying far away
I believe he’ll come one day
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe
Come to carry me away
Come tomorrow, come today
Take me far across the sea
Happy evermore we’ll be
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe
Oh, he’ll be coming soon for me
I’ll be his eternally
Take me in his warm embrace
And we’ll leave this lonely place
Oh, I believe, I believe, I believe

No One Left At Home
Music & Lyrics by Jeanie Flowers
Climb in my car and turn the key
Head for the sunset, looking toward the sea
Long forgotten highways lead me on alone
Forget about the miles, I’m going home
Open the door, hinges creak with rust
Open the windows, moonlight dances on the dust
Smiling friendly faces, only in my memory
All they’ve left are traces
And there is no one left at home to welcome me
So I listen to the calling of the sea
Saying, come a little closer, I’ll teach you my melody
Nothing to hold my heart here, just a lot of empty rooms
Lonelier than a tomb
‘Cause there is no one left at home to welcome me
So I listen to the music of the sea
Singing, come and be my lover, come sing my melody
My melody
My melody

Carry Me Home
Music by Ken Hoelscher
Lyrics by Jeanie Flowers
Watching me silently, faithfully guiding me
Lighting and leading me on
Patiently waiting and anticipating
The day when you carry me home
You know this yearning, this heart that is burning
For love that will sweep me away
Promises spoken but too often broken
For this one of so little faith
(chorus)
Carry me back to your door
You’re the heart I long for
Won’t you carry me home
Carry me back to your side
In your heart I will hide
Won’t you carry me home
Broken and hurting and desperately searching
This heart was determined to roam
Lying, denying, eternally trying
But finding no place to call home
(chorus)
Wasted words had filled my mind with doubt
And hopeless heartache fed my fears
But now I can see your love carried me
Gratefully hearing your voice as I’m nearing
Your heart, now forever to stay
Finally seeing the love that I’m needing
Was only a heartbeat away
(chorus)
Carry me
I’m longing for you to carry me home
To your side
In your heart I will hide
Won’t you carry me home

No Matter What I Do
Music & Lyrics by Jeanie Flowers
I’m gonna have to learn to be your friend
‘Cause loving you can only bring me sorrow
I’ll never have a broken heart to mend
‘Cause you’ll be my friend through all of my tomorrows
And in time I’m sure there’ll come a day
When I believe I’m really better off this way
I know my love will stand the test of time
‘Cause I see in you the things that I believe in
And I’m falling in love with you
I don’t know what to do
Oh, I’m falling in love with you
No matter what I do
I’m gonna hide my feelings with a smile
Hope that I can learn to keep my love from showing
I’m gonna have to practice for a while
But I do believe you’re better off not knowing
And in time, perhaps one day you’ll see
That the one who loved you all that time was me
I know my love will stand the test of time
‘Cause I see in you the things that I believe in
And I’m falling in love with you
I don’t know what to do
Oh, I’m falling in love with you
No matter what I do
You may think the price is much too high
But it’s a price I feel is well worth paying
I know my love will stand the test of time
‘Cause I see in you the things that I believe in
And I’m falling in love with you
I don’t know what to do
Oh, I’m falling in love with you
No matter what I do

Over the Rainbow
Music by Harold Arlen
Lyrics by E. Y. Harburg
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Oh, why then, oh why can’t I?
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There’s a place that I’ve heard of
Once in a lullabye
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away, above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away, above the chimney tops
That’s where, that is where you’ll find me
And somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds gonna fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can’t I
Why can’t I go over the rainbow?

Sky Blue Eyes
Music by Jeanie Flowers
Lyrics by Daniel Flowers
Nineteen years of age I woke up one day
Tossed my broom and dustpan to the side
Looked in the eyes of my dear old mom and papa
I said, please don’t cry but today I start my life
Ten thousand acres, fifty miles from Modown
A great big house at least two acres wide
Well, he’s six feet tall with hair of gold, and eyes as blue as sky
He asked me and I said I’d be his bride
Together we will tame the devil’s hand
Break the wildness here and make our stand
Then ride into the sunset of his sky blue eyes
And will not stop until we’ve cleared this land
Five thousand cattle take their toll on a cowboy
When he gets home he’s barely half alive
But I said I’d stand beside him if only for those blue eyes
‘Cause when he asked I swore I’d be his wife
Together we would tame the devil’s hand
Break the wildness here and make our stand
Then ride into the sunset of his sky blue eyes
And would not stop until we cleared this land
Oh, but if we don’t stop how much can we stand
Oh, I work so hard to make his home a place to hide away
Longing for his touch when he returns to me each day
Oh, but anger and frustration sent him running to the bottle
Oh, I cannot stay
Oh, I’m sorry love, I fear I cannot stay
Oh, we tried but could not tame the devil’s hand
Or break the wildness, though we made our stand
So I’ll ride into the sunset without your sky blue eyes
Oh, and I will not stop until I’ve cleared this land
Oh, and I cannot stop until I’ve cleared this land

Wishing
Words & Music by Jeanie Flowers
I’ve been looking for your heart
But I don’t know where to start
Won’t you take me by the hand
I only want to understand
I only want to be your friend
I’ve been wishing on a star
‘Cause I wonder where you are
Won’t you make a wish for me
I wish that I could make you see
I wish your heart belonged to me
How can I tell you how I feel
How will you know my heart is real
How many nights before you see
Me wishing you were here with me
I want to be everywhere you are
Shining in the night, not wishing on a star
I’ve been looking for your love
In the stars, so high above
How I wish that I could find
One love whose heart would beat with mine
One love to love me for all time
I’ve been wishing every night
On the Northern Star, so bright
There’s a star that shines for you
I hope you’re wishing on it too
I hope your wishes all come true
I feel you standing all alone
Wishing your heart could find a home
How will forever ever do
To make our wishes all come true
I want to be everywhere you are
Shining in the night, not wishing on a star
And if I could hide inside your love
You would be the light I’m dreaming of

Memories of You
Music by Rachel Flowers
Lyrics by Jeanie Flowers
I remember on the day we met
Little things I never will forget
All of the laughter, and the way you spoke my name
Thoughts of you
All my memories of you
All the hours laughing on the phone
Never thought you’d leave me here alone
Now it’s your memory that I keep on talking to
Thoughts of you
All my memories of you
I was thinking of you
All my memories of you
When the show was over
And we sang together in the rain
Crying on your shoulder
Always thought I’d hear your voice again
I remember when we said goodbye
Couldn’t keep my promise not to cry
Living without you, I will never be the same
Thoughts of you
All my memories of you
I was thinking of you
All my memories of you
