"Another Try"

Ahh!  I've forgotten how writing feels!  For some reason, I feel like tonight is the beginning of summer, weird!  This summer has flown right by and I barely blogged...so I'm going to try again.  I kind of ran out of words to say about songs.  This craft sometimes puts me in a place I have no words for...shocker, right?  Well, totally forgot about this Chris Stapleton & Jeremy Spillman written gem.  I wonder who sang this demo, ahh brilliance.  And can we talk about the impecable-as-always Trisha Yearwood vocals?!  That's someone who could really, really sing.
Where did all our major 90s country women go?!  I want Trisha back!  Go fall in love with this song already...

Song: "Another Try"

All the things I've felt and never shared

All the times that she was lonely with me there

Tears I wouldn't let fall from my eyes

And how I let her go without a fight

The reasons I'm alone, I know by heart

But I don't wanna spend forever in the dark

I swear next time I'll hang on for dear life

If love ever gives me another try

There's no changing things that we regret

The best that we can hope for is one more chance

If the hands of time could just move in reverse

I wouldn't make the same mistake again with her

The reasons I'm alone, I know by heart

But I don't wanna spend forever in the dark

I swear next time I'll hang on for dear life

If love ever gives me another try

Oh, the reasons I'm alone I know by heart

But I don't wanna spend forever in the dark

I swear next time I'll hang on for dear life

If love ever gives me another try

Oh, if love ever gives me another try

"Finding My Way Back Home"

There aren't enough hours in a day, or months in a year to possibly right all of the wrongs you have made in your life.  There comes a point in your life when you reach a point that you have this realization that nothing you could do can change the past.  With that said, if you knew the end, would you want to experience all of the 'in-betweens'?  Many would answer no to this question, but I would answer yes.  I have seen many ends but I have had more than my share of struggles.  However, sometimes you want to go back.  You want to experience something that you remember.  You want to go back to the time of your childhood innocence.  Sometimes, you need to go home. 


It's too easy to let this crazy world get the best of you.  Sometimes, we all need to rediscover our roots. 


I think this song is so underrated.  If promoted properly, Lee Ann could've had a humongous hit on her hands.  This song has summertime written all over it.  PLUS, this song has some serious substance.  Come on, on my best day...how hard is it to write a catchy UPTEMPO that actually says something than 'let's be yours again.'  Like come on, this has hit written all over it.  Nashville politics, you failed us, A+.

Song: "Finding My Way Back Home"


I've been hurryin', I've been worryin'. 
I've been runnin' against the wind. 
I've been bettin' my soul on a long shot roll, 
That a good man never wins. 

I've been tossin', and I've been turnin'. 
I've been burnin' it at both ends. 
I've been seein' myself in the rear view, 
And I don't like where I've been...

So I'm takin' my time... 
Holdin' and hopin' and drivin' 
And dreamin' and lovin' every minute of it. 
Just enjoyin' the ride... 
Slowly and soulfully feeling the wheels unwind. 
Finding my way back home..

I've been toolin' along the two lane. 
I got off of the interstate. 
I've been goin' too fast, 
I got off of the gas. 
I've been learnin' the charm of the brake. 

I've been rollin' down all the windows 
And lettin' the world rush in. 
The smell of the grass and the fields that I pass 
And the sun dance on my skin. 

So I'm takin' my time... 
Holdin' and hopin' and drivin' 
And dreamin' and lovin' every minute of it. 
Just enjoyin' the ride... 
Slowly and soulfully feeling the wheels unwind. 
Finding my way back... 

I'm takin' my time... 
Holdin' and hopin' and drivin' 
And dreamin' and lovin' every minute of it... 

I'm takin' my time... 
Holdin' and hopin' and drivin' 
And dreamin' and lovin' every minute of it. 
Just enjoyin' the ride... 
Slowly and soulfully feeling the wheels unwind. 
Slowly and soulfully feeling the wheels unwind. 
Finding my way... back... home... 
I'm finding my way back home...
