The Story Of My Life (2005)












The Girl You Left Me For lyrics - Deana Carter

I wish I could give you the love you deserve
I wish I could be your servant du jour
I wish I could tell you the things that I'm not
I wanna show you what I've got
And I wish you would love me anyway

[Chorus]
I wanna be the girl you left me for
I wanna be the one that you adore
I wanna be the girl you left me for

I'm gonna treat you more like a king
Make me a puppet without any strings
I want your perfume on my pillowcase
She's gonna turn you inside out and I...
I'm gonna love you anyway

[Chorus]
I wanna be the girl you left me for
I wanna be the one that you adore
I wanna be the girl you left me for

[Bridge]
You've got me on my knees
Don't break my heart again
I don't want your sympathy
I don't want to be your friend

Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
I wanna feel you on my fingertips

[Chorus]
I wanna be the girl you left me for
I wann be the one that you adore
I wanna be the girl you left me for
I wanna be the one that you adore
I wanna be the girl you left me for

One Day At A Time lyrics - Deana Carter

I've got a friend who wears go-go boots to Sunday School
We used to sit and drink pink champagne on a tin roof
Ridin' it out in a Thunderbird
Singin' out loud every single word of Jack & Diane
Tryin' to pretend there was no rules
Kissin' on boys and sneakin' in bars
Tryin' to get a glimpse of who we are
We weren't wild, but we weren't far

She said Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me
And you can tell ol' James Dean to get in line
Thanks to Elvis and Kurt Cobain, the world will never be the same
You gotta make history one day at a time

She graduated in 1987
We were gonna make a break for it together
Headed out to Hollywood
Where the stars are bright and the weather's good
But she changed her mind and went back to the 7-11
She went and married the football star
Had few kids and works real hard
It ain't wild but it ain't far

[Repeat Chorus]

Hey, Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me
And you can tell ol' James Dean to get in line
Thanks to Jesus and John Wayne the world will never be the same
You've gotta make history one day at a time

Like John Lennon and Kennedy
I'm with them, yeah, 'cause I believe
You gotta make history one day at a time

Ordinary lyrics - Deana Carter

White lace bedspread, Monet hanging over my head
Big smile on my face, wine glasses all over the place
Your shirt on my floor, I've never done that before
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

[CHORUS]
Don't it feel so good
Flying high without a net above the neighborhood
I love to cross the line
I get a running start and I go five steps at a time
Oh wouldn't be scary
Just being ordinary?

At my church I pray. I had a long talk with the angels today
And they say, "Listen to me...you gotta be a shepard, don't be a sheep"
Stop sign go away cause I ain't stopping for no one today
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

[REPEAT CHORUS]

When I was a little girl my momma used to say,
"You only get one chance in this world and it's a chance you gotta take!"
And 30 years later here I am and I can't wait
La, la, la, la, I can't wait...

[REPEAT CHORUS]

In A Heartbeat lyrics - Deana Carter

I can't ignore the voices in my head
The things we never said hunting me down
I fell like I've found myself in pieces on the floor
More broken than before I let you down...

You can lose someone in a heartbeat
You can lose yourself in a memory...

[CHORUS]
Look at me now, I'm going insane
I'm looking back at what remains
What have I done, was it in vain?
Can you forgive me once again?
Say you'll do that, and I'd take it back
In a heartbeat

I can't avoid the will to fall apart
To stop before I start living again
I try to pretend I'm not afraid to set you free
To push you out to sea to wait for the wind...

You can lose someone in a heartbeat
You can lose yourself in a memory...

[REPEAT CHORUS]

What have I done, was it in vain?
Can you forgive me again?
I'd take it back, if you'd say you'll do that
In a heartbeat

Katie lyrics - Deana Carter

Katie likes to run around
In cotton panties and a crown
She driving all the boys insane
Suckin' on a candy cane...
She likes to play the tambourine
Her favorite color's Army green
She's a vegetarian; she's a lovely loaded gun...

[CHORUS]
Katie has a way of seeing things
That everybody else is just afraid to dream of
It's funny how it seems, but when you look at her
I swear, you see love.

She wears diamonds oh her toes
She lets her belly button show
She puts perfume in her hair
You don't look at her, you stare...

[CHORUS]

Atlanta & Birmingham lyrics - Deana Carter

I'm in a hotel room in California
Giving it my best to give you up
I'm leaving on a jet plane to New Orleans
You and me, we didn't see it coming

[Chorus]
But somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
We fell in love with just one touch
It was out of our hands
I'm holding on to every word you said
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham

I gotta pick up the pieces of my lonely heart
I want you to know it's not your fault
You got to go to love that's waiting
I hope that your green eyes say what you aren't saying

[Chorus]
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
We fell in love with just one touch
It was out of our hands
I never thought that my whole world could end
Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham

Somewhere between Atlanta and Birmingham
We fell in love with just one touch
It was out of our hands
I never thought that my whole world would end
Somewhere beteen Atlanta and Birmingham

I'm in a hotel room in California
Giving it my best to give you up

She's Good For You lyrics - Deana Carter

She parks her car on Woodland Street
She's got a job at the meat-n-three
She's kind of pretty in a perculiar kind of way
And I try hard to like her
Yeah, I try hard to like her...

[CHORUS]
Because she's good for you
She's so good for you
You say she's good for you
That makes her bad, that makes her very bad
For me.

I saw her at the grocery store
Her stuff was obviously yours
It may sound silly but it made me want to cry
I try hard to hide it...

You say she's good for you
She's so good for you
Well if she's good for you
That makes her bad, that makes her very bad
For me.

[BRIDGE]
It's torture
The thought of you touching her
Remembering the way we were...

[REPEAT CHORUS]

[TAG]
Even if that's true
That makes her bad, that makes her very bad
For me.

Not Another Love Song lyrics - Deana Carter

I can't help but wonder how
This fire keeps going out
Even when we try to keep it burning
It's hard to let you go
And that's because I know
That holding on is worth a little hurting...

[CHORUS]
I don't wanna write a love song
Not another love song
I cannot take another painful melody
I don't wanna write a love song
Not another love song
Until I know you're coming back to me

I wish that you could stay
I wish it everyday
Even though our love is slowly dying
What's a heart supposed to do
When wishes don't come true
It hurts so much it's hard to keep on trying...

[CHORUS]

Sunny Day lyrics - Deana Carter

I ain't picked up my guitar in 15 days
Some music man doesn't give a damn
What I have to say
But he's stealing tears and playing games
That I don't play
I'm not gonna let that son-of-a-bitch take my love away
You can't take my love away...

[CHORUS]

So roll me over, over, over
While you turn your head
Hold me under, under
While I take in my last
It gets colder, colder, colder
While you try to save yourself
God's gonna blow your clouds away
And give me sunny day.

It's on the telephone, the tv and on the radio
Any day now the final whistle is bound to blow
But this ain't the way we have to say we had to go
There's still a chance that hand-in-hand and shore-to-shore
They can't take our love away...

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Getting Over You lyrics - Deana Carter

Out here out on my own
I admit that it gets me sometimes
It's not that I'm not strong
It's just a different view
I know that I belong
Standing out in the sweet sunshine
I've been up all night long
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you

I know that I'm not stuck
Cause in my pocket's a four leaf clover
I'm filling up on luck
The clouds all fade to blue
I'm cutting off your strings
I don't carry your weight no longer
I'm spreading out my wings
I smile and face the truth

[Chorus:]
All the little things are leaving me as I speak
All that used to be is just a memory, yeah

Getting over you, yeah

You might wanna try
But you won't be my demise
Gonna find my peace of mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Getting over you

[Chorus]

Out here on my own
I'm where I belong
Getting over you
I'm forgetting you

The Story Of My Life lyrics - Deana Carter

I wish I was a little more clear headed
So I could paste the pieces of last night
I try not to regret it
Sifting through the laughter and the lies

I guess that's just the story of my life

I was born in a 60's winter
My mom was young and my dad had an appetite
A saint and a sinner
Wrestling with what's wrong and what's right

I guess that's just the story of my life

When they roll me down the last long highway
You wont find me putting up a fight
If I could have things my way
They'd all be there just soaking up the light
Wave good bye

Carol Of The Bells lyrics - Deana Carter

Hark how the bells
sweet silver bells
All seem to say
throw cares away.

Christmas is here
bringing good cheer
To young and old
meek and the bold

Ding, dong, ding, dong
that is their song,
With joyful ring
all caroling

One seems to hear
words of good cheer
From everywhere
filling the air

O, how they pound
raising the sound
Over hill and dale
telling their tale

Gaily they ring
while people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

On, on they send
on without end
Their joyful tone
to every home

Hark how the bells
sweet silver bells
All seem to say
throw cares away.

Christmas is here
bringing good cheer
To young and old
meek and the bold

Ding, dong, ding, dong
that is their song
With joyful ring
all caroling.

One seems to hear
words of good cheer
From everywhere
filling the air

O, how they pound
raising the sound
Over hill and dale
telling their tale

Gaily they ring
while people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas!

On, on they send
on without end
Their joyful tone
to every home.

On, on they send
on without end
Their joyful tone
to every home.

Free Fallin' lyrics - Deana Carter

(originally by Tom Petty)
(from "King of the Hill" soundtrack)

She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

And it's a long day living in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
He's a bad boy 'cause he don't even miss me
He's a bad boy for breakin' my heart

And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah, I'm free, free fallin'

All the vampires walkin' through the valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard
All the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts

And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah, I'm free, free fallin'

(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)

I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write your name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for a while

And I'm free
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
Free fallin'
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
Yeah, I'm free
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
Free fallin'
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)

And I'm free
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
Free fallin'
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
Yeah, I'm free
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)
Free fallin'
(Free fallin', now I'm free fallin', now I'm)

I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write your name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for a while

Free fallin'

Once Upon A December lyrics - Deana Carter

(from "Anastasia" soundtrack)

Dancing bears, painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember

And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
