Here's to You Kid Lyrics

Hello hello
Somebody pay attention to me
Cause lately I been feeling
Just a little empty
Let's find some clothes
Maybe we could fight off
This melancholy

How 'bout a fun one that's upbeat
How 'bout a new thing that's downtown
How 'bout a live band a dive bar
How 'bout a disco ball

Just spinning
Around around around again
Around around around again
Around around around again

So
Here's To You Kid
Got French Champagne
Just chillin' in the fridge

Might just be a little bit little bit
Malcolm in the Middle
Might just be a little bit little bit
Too insecure
Might just be a little bit little bit
Ready for trouble
Come on come on
Let's hit the dance floor

How 'bout a fun one that's upbeat
How 'bout a new thing that's downtown
How 'bout a live band a packed dive bar
How 'bout a disco ball

Just spinning
Around around around again
Around around around again
Around around around again

So
Here's To You Kid
Got French Champagne just chillin' in the fridge
(got French Champagne)
Got French Champagne just chillin' in the fridge
(French Champagne)

You ain't dead yet
You're killin' it
You ain't dead yet
You're killin' it

How 'bout a fun one that's upbeat
How 'bout staying alive in downtown
How bout a live band
A packed dive bar
You don't know how beautiful you are
You're like a disco ball

Spinnin'
Around around around again
Around around around again
Around around around again

So
Here's To You Kid
Got French Champagne just chillin' in the fridge
Champagne chilling in the fridge
Got French Champagne just chillin' in the fridge
I was waiting on a moment
I was waiting on a moment like this

Here's To You Kid

2. Whiplash Lyrics

First, you wanna take it slow
Second, you're moving fast
You say we need to talk
Then, you're naked, making me laugh
Okay, you're my ride or die
Why you leave me high and dry
Friends say you won't last the night

'Cause you hit me with the whiplash (whiplash)
Say you love me, then you take it back (take it back)
You break me off like a Kit Kat (Kit Kat)
Why we dancing then you pause the track (pause the track)
You got me whipped with your whiplash
Your whiplash, your whiplash
You got me whipped with your whiplash, your whiplash
You got me

I guess you had your heart broke
Wide open before
You're the only referee
That's out here keeping score
You say want commitment
Then you're one foot out the door
I say that I don't care, but I already miss ya

'Cause you hit me with the whiplash (whiplash)
Say you love me, then you take it back (take it back)
You break me off like a Kit Kat (Kit Kat)
Why we dancing then you pause the track
You got me whipped with your whiplash
Your whiplash, your whiplash
You got me whipped with your whiplash, your whiplash, your whiplash

Stop go
Yes no
We been through all this before
We're in love, then I'm a ho
Up, down, wrong, right
I don't think we'll last the night
Friends say that you're out of sight
Now I woke up at your place
What happened to our space

You always hit me with the whiplash (whiplash)
You say you love me, then you take it back (take it back)
You break me off like a Kit Kat (Kit Kat)
Got me dancing, then you pause the track (pause the track)
You got me whipped with your whiplash, your whiplash, whiplash (got me whipped)

You got me whipped with your whiplash (whiplash)
You say you love me, then you take it back (take it back)
You're breaking, breaking like a Kit Kat (Kit Kat)
Why we dancing then you pause the track
You always whip me with your whiplash, your whiplash, your whiplash (woo!)
You got me whipped with your whiplash, your whiplash, your whiplash
You got me

3. Grrrl in the Mirrror Lyrics

Wherever you go, well, I guess that’s where you are
Wherever you were, I was waiting for ya

First time I fell in love
She blew my mind she fucked me up
Thirty one I was just eighteen
small town hush hush summer fling
Off to Chicago
I shoulda known she’d let me go
Ripped me out that closet
With open eyes and no regrets

Dated Chastity quite briefly
Picked her up at Trader Joe's
daughter of a preacher
Got a flyer to my show
I used her, and she used me
She dumped me for my drummer
Body of an angel
Little homeschooled firecracker

I was on my way
to loving that grrrl in the mirrror
It sounds cliché
She was the only one who mattered
Wherever you go
Well I guess that’s where you are
Wherever you were, I was waiting for ya

First U-Hauled with Katie
blonde hair, crystal blue eyes
I fell so damn quickly
I missed all them warning signs
A hot head
Capricorn
smashing glasses and slamming doors
hurt like hell breaking up
felt good as hell once I was gone

I was on my way
to loving that grrrl in the mirrror
It sounds cliché
She was the only one who mattered
Wherever you go
Well I guess that’s where you are
Wherever you were, I was waiting for ya

I told Tara
I loved her
even though it wasn’t true
So sorry for the heartache
that my path has led me through
Oh Saoirse, Saoirse
I gave you seven good years
Was it good for six, four, five or three
naw, we never could agree

I was on my way
to loving that grrrl in the mirrror
It sounds cliché
She was the only one who mattered
Wherever you go
Well I guess that’s where you are
Wherever you were, I was waiting for ya

Wherever you go well I guess that’s where you are
Wherever you were, I was waiting for ya
I was waiting I was waiting for that grrrl, that grrrl in the mirrror
to loving that grrrl, loving that grrrl in the mirrror I was waiting on you baby

4. White Man's Dream

Swimming upstream in a southern city
The biggest fish need the biggest pond
Ladies get invited to the good ole boys' party
If its low cut, D-cup, platinum blonde

I don't sing much about boats
I never even owned a truck neither
I know tail lights, state lines, loading out late nights
Cruisin' the country with the 18 wheelers

Sometimes I wish I was a boy
So I could be the All-American they wanted
Cause I can write, I can play, I can sing
I'm a girl sleepwalking in a white man's dream
I'm a girl sleepwalking in a white man's dream

Whoo woo!

Raise your glass to the mighty Mississippi
And God bless a southern man
How quickly you forget my great great great grandmother
She died picking cotton
Stolen people slaving on stolen land

Sometimes I wish I was a boy
So I could check off all the boxes like they wanted
Not a master or a slave guess I'm something between
I'm a girl sleepwalking in a white man's dream
I'm a girl sleepwalking it's a white man's dream

Whoo woo!

Rainbow babes, you can change your names
If the pronouns don't fit right
Jesus saves, he said love the little children
Nah you don't have to fit in
Cause they're all ones and zeros
And In you is a hero
But I'm still trying to let it go

Sometimes I wish I was a boy
So I could be Mr right, right out of central casting
Am I pretty am I handsome maybe something in between
I'm a girl sleepwalking in a white man's dream
Check one box won't you choose one race
I'm a mixed girl rockin' on a white man's stage
You could be queer trans straight whatever maybe in between
I'm a girl sleepwalking in a white man's dream
I'm a girl sleepwalking it's a white man's dream

Whoo woo!

Change is a shifty thing
Songbirds you gotta sing (tweet tweet tweet tweet)
Someday she's gonna rise and she's gonna shine
Cause It was only a dream

5. Birds of Steel Lyrics

I feel like everything is working out for me

This morning, the clouds took my breath away

Flying around inside birds of steel

Float in the whisky river till you feel no pain

I’m too high to come down It's alright altogether now I’m too high to come down It's alright altogether now

I feel like everything is working out for me This morning, the clouds took my breath away Flying around inside birds of steel I wouldn’t believe it if I weren’t already there Got ready to be ready, I got ready to be ready To be ready, to be ready, I got high I had to change my outfit

I’m too high to come down It's alright altogether now I’m too high to come down It's alright altogether now

In birds of steel And whisky rivers In birds of steel We’re all sinners

6. White Lighter

Hello, can you help me
I have lost my joy again
sitting on my hands
listening to Elliott Smith
wondering what I might have around that I could sell
money ain’t everything but man, that shit helps

You told me so casually
that you had cancer
like a basketball score or the slightest chance of rain
And I wonder,
will we go our whole lives not
seeing each other
just small talk, blistered pride, and a legacy of shame

Well, I rode wild horses in Wyoming and
I was crowned queen of a Dakota trailer park
I wanna set fire to all these dreams
I got this white lighter
just waiting on a spark

I know you would prefer
if I straightened up and fly right
Well, I got two left feet and a crazy urge to dance
Maybe we ain’t ever gonna see each other eye to eye
It’s never too late to try,
we could give it a chance

I got this, got this white lighter
just waiting on a spark
I got this, got white lighter

You told me so casually
that you had cancer
and there’s only a small chance
that you might lose your voice
It’s awfully selfish of me for asking
but do you think
you could be
proud of me
just one time
before it goes?

because I
rode wild horses in Wyoming and
I was crowned queen of a Dakota trailer park
I wanna set fire to all of these dreams

But I fell in love, and I fell apart
I fell in love, and I fell apart
I want to be a light in the dark
I got this, got this white lighter

Hello, can you help me
I lost my joy again
I got this, got this white lighter

7. Wild Heart Lyrics

I'll be the hero

I'll wear a cape

I got a bulletproof sports bra

I sprint across the Southern States

Give me a tampon

Make it a super plus

I got blood coming outta my eyes

No, I don't give a fuck

You can't control me (you can't control me)

My pride or my joy

I don't owe you a damn thing (no you don't know me)

If I′ma girl or a boy

I'm not waiting on you (not waiting on you)

No, I'm just getting started

Way out here beyond you (out here beyond you)

I was born for this

I was born with a wild, wild heart

A wild, wild heart

I see you, mister (what do you see, what do you see, what do you see)

Rattlesnake license plate (what do you see, what do you see, what do you see)

Do you see Medusa?

Does she make you feel unsafe? (what do you see, what do you see, what do you see)

You can't control me (you can't control me)

Yeah that's my pride, yeah that's my joy

I don't owe you a damn thing (no you don't know me)

Like what we look at a girl or a boy

No, I'm not waiting on you

I'm finishing what I started

Way out here beyond you

I was born for this. I was born with a wild, wild heart

I got a wild, wild heart

(La la la la la la la la la la)

Light blue, light pink

White in the middle

That's the color of everything

Light blue, light pink

Try and dim my light

But I shine like a prism

Light blue, light pink

And white in the middle

That's the color of everything

Light blue, light pink

Try and dim my light, but I shine like a prism

You can't control me (you can't control me)

My pride or my joy

I don't owe you a damn thing (no you don't know me)

If I′ma girl or a boy

Fuck waitin' on you (not waiting you)

Because I'm finishing what I started

Way out here, beyond you (out here beyond you)

I was born for this

I was born

With a wild, wild heart

A wild, wild heart

A wild wild

I got a wild wild wild

Wild wild i got a wild wild heart

Got a wild wild

I got something to say

I have something to say

I have something to

Huh? come on! Let's go, let's go!

8. The Fall Lyrics

Wanna ask you how you been
Wanna taste all of your skin
Fingers tracing your tattoos
I am craving all of you
Wanna tease apart your lips
Find your warmth in the darkness
Till we expose something bigger
Put your fingers on my trigger
Am I Thelma or Louise
You can blame it all on me
When these feelings run too deep

I'll take the fall
I'll take the fall
I'll take the fall
I'll take the fall

It shouldn't be so easy
Easy shouldn't be this hard
We certainly were speeding
These cops wanna search the car
Wish they hadn't found that baggie
Am I Thelma or Louise
You can blame it all on me
When these feelings run too deep

I'll take the fall
I'll take the fall
I'll take the fall
I'll take the fall

Who needs a parachute
I'll do anything for you (I'd do anything for ya)
Who needs a parachute
I'll do anything for you (I'd do anything for ya)
Driving through a speed trap town (Driving through a speed trap town)
Come on, baby, don't slow down (come on baby, don't slow)
Driving through a speed trap town (Driving through a speed trap town)
Come on, baby, don't slow down (come on baby, don't slow)

I'll take the fall, yeah
I'll take the fall
I'll take the fall

Am I Thelma or Louise
You can blame it all on me
When these feelings run too deep
I'll take the fall

9. Richest in the World

I got a dog on my left and a dog on my right

Blanket on my lap and love in my life on our second-hand couch just outside of town

I’m the richest in the world right now I’m the richest in the world right now

You got your gray eyes, green eyes, brown eyes, blue

And your flirty little hips turn me on like you do

We fell crazy in love, but we don’t know how

I’m the richest in the world right now

The sun rises all by itself so I can stay up late

This world is more beauty sometimes than I can take

Cause I got friends I got family I’ve got the kindness of strangers I got hopes intuition I’ve been dreaming with angels

And all the highs, all the lows and the mystery throughout It’s the here and now It’s the here and now I’m the richest in the world right now I’m the richest in the world right now I’m the richest in the world right now

Until that final curtain call when my spirit takes a bow

It’s the here and now It’s the here and now

I’m the richest in the world right now I’m the richest in the world right now I’m the richest in the world
