Saving names on my wall Stacking up all the numbers beside them all Two cups of coffee I'm ready to go Taking on this life aint easy.. My friend goes to Mexico She's got color on her skin Her long hair blowin' She's a mother and a friend Sometimes I look at her and I pretend I'm goin' to Mexico again I'm gonna take me a train I'm gonna get there any way that I can I'm gonna bum again In the warm wind Those promises broken It's not their intention to lie It just gets hard to keep up When my cup it over flows My friend goes to Mexico She gets color on her skin Her long hair blown' She's a mother and a friend Sometimes I look at her and I pretend I'm going' to Mexico again I'm gonna take me a train I'm gonna get there any way that I can I'm gonna bum again In the warm wind Blowin' In the warm wind Picture me In the warm wind Ooh I love The warm wind Picture me In the warm wind...

He said Oh Lady You're always staring your demons down And though I think that's good Will you listen to this sound Oh the sound of the rain Pitter pattering Along with the way You lay me down Yes and baby You don't have to be so serious You can just Sit back and relax Let's focus on us Can you feel my fingertips? Kisses on your lips Let me love you like I've never done Let me love you like Ohhhhoooooh.... Let me love you like there's no tomorrow Let me love you like this night won't end Let me love you like I've always wanted Over and over and over again Over and over... I wait around for you baby When I should just go away But you're a Pretty young thing in my face Yes you are Oh & I wish I was One of the big boys Running' around up here While your'e running around down there Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be Yes it's all gonna be Everythiiiiing is Sunshiiiiiine...... Let me love you like there's no tomorrow Let me love you like this night won't end Let me love you like I've always wanted Over and over and over again Over & over

Outta Your Head 04:46
lyrics

Here you go again Laughing like you never did And you're so enjoying the show That's inside your head Sitting in the corner That smile on your face She walks on over to ya And you let it slip away You know that's a mistake And if you Want to be with her tonight Get out of your head And hold her real tight 'Cause she'll be Turnin' baby away from you And once she's gone There's nothing you can do So let her in if what you are saying is true But don't you dare if you're lying She owes nothing to you She's about to be leaving ya And you'll be right back where you always did She aint jokin' this one She's got her own mind And her own head And you'll be missing her When she's far along gone You'll be looking for her Trying to put it to her But she aint afraid to be alone And if you want to be with her tonight Get out of your head And hold her real tight 'Cause she'll be Turnin' baby away from you And once she's gone There's nothing you can do So let her in If what you are saying is true But don't you dare if you're lying 'Cause she owes nothing to you No...

Dead City 05:45
lyrics
buy track
Well it's late at night And the city looks dead already You'd think it was a happening place By the way The lights are shining down The way the cops run around Like there's something to chase Oh but really What it comes down to people Is the simple truth It's never what it seems And to those who think The grass is someplace greener You're gonna lose yourself Looking for her And we Won't get in your way You have your own to pay And there's Many days ahead Time to change your mind Yes and words To be heard For you to reason Oh many words To be heard No fist fight There's nobody around To take it But I will tell you right now I could push him around Use my feet Put his face in the ground I could do it all day And then do it again If he'd let me But really What it comes down to people What I told you before It's never what it seems You think it's black and white You're wrong I'm only telling you 'Cause I know this one You don't listen to what I say Close your ears it remains I tell you I learned it over and over and over Dead city it's a dead dead city...

Honeycomb 04:47
lyrics

Do you see what I mean? Life looks a little better that way When you do what you do You can see the light By the end of the day You work to the bone Ah but baby when you get home I got a reward You can't afford to refuse And there's no need to fret Because your day Will soon be all done Making a living isn't all that fun But when you are finished boy It's to me you will run You work to the bone Ah but baby when you get home I got a reward You can't afford to refuse Darlin' come here I know you know that Spring is near so Let us spin This honeycomb You work to the bone I'm waiting for ya So I shut off the phone I got somethin' You don't want to miss Come on over to your mama I'll give you a kiss I got a reward you can't afford I'm the kind of girl once you had me you never want to lose me No you don't...

Darkness 02:54
lyrics

Darkness whispers to me I listen deep and long I begin a lullaby Appears inside a song I don't know where it comes from Nobody needs to know Blinding is the light Crashing my life to the floor The little girl I know is waiting patiently for her mamas words goodbye so that she can be everything she is ha he She can't quite touch the stars but her skin is sensitive to the heat And the girl I know She laughs out load Planting her flowers in the ground Losing sight of everything she knows It is her time to go and watch them grow She can't touch the stars but her skin is sensitive

Common Grace 04:29

Hey You look like a friendly face I want to walk with you In a common grace And say Let's play tug of war I will sink my nails Deep into this rope for sure Come on Let us make a story short I will write it on the back Of this credit report We'll take it high Let's take it low We can fax it all the way to Mexico Does anyone care there Does anyone dare To be courageous Saving the children And their share Everybody Wants just a little piece of it And say Since you're going this way I'm gonna join you on this glorious Rise to fame and On the stage We can recite Any piece of art You can possibly find So come on let us Take our little story And tell it 50 times Until we are all snoring Let's take it high Let's take it low We can fax it all the way to Mexico No one can win then It's only opinions For us all So let us rise up singing Everybody Wants Just a piece Let us up Let us in Let us down Let us begin Let us up Let us in Let us down May we May we May we... Does anyone care Is anyone there Does anyone care there Does anyone care Is anyone there Does anyone care there...

Heat Well you know the Freaks they all dance In the heat Freaks Well you know the Heat makes the Dancers freak And they wear their Skirts that flair Flowers in their hair Moving from their head To their feet Around and 'round They go Moving So slow-(in') down From the dyin' Heat Sleep Well you know the Freaks they all dance In their sleep Freaks Well you know the Sleep keeps the dancers Freak-(y) And they wear their Skirts that flair Dreadlocks in their hair Spin cocoon In their silky sheets Around and 'round They go Like a caw-in' crow In their dreams Fellow freaks They will meet In their dreams Fellow freaks They will meet Slowin' down from the Down from the Down from the dyin' heat Around and 'round they go

How Long 03:28
lyrics

He was a stealer He stole what he needed He was a dealer He learned To be greedy I knew his ways I was prepared for the days I was with him He thought he was So cleaver But I was much better 'Cause I could see Right through him How long Will you live like this How long How long Well you can't run around In the same old town Burning all your bridges down And you can't spend your dough On things you know Will only bring you down But you can Yes you can If you want to Change any time In the scheme of things 'Cause you are You are you are A beautiful star If that's where you wanna go You can How long Will you live like this How long How long How long will you Live like this my friend I knew you one time You left your troubles Far behind You were a friend of mine Then you changed Your mind Oh why? I know your ways I am prepared for the days I spend with you You think that You are so clever But I'm feelin' much better 'Cause I can see Right through you...

Runnin' 05:14
lyrics

Runnin' Fast as she can down the lane She's in some kind of hurry Won't let herself be late Looking' good Just misunderstood but Ready for that all to change Aint gonna miss this one way To a new face It's a small town where she comes from Hoping to find her a man In a bigger one Where the sun does shine Everything is fine Aint gonna miss this one way To leave it all behind When she caught her train Wasn't looking for fame but it was Waiting at the end of an anchor Pulling her in To whiskey & gin It almost sank her Now she's drowning Just trying to reach for air Knowing she's had her share Coming down like rain Falling down like rain 'Cause nothing looks the same And everything has changed When will she get back on the train Runnin' Out of time So much to see Trying to come clean And life keeps passing her by It's time to stop And analyze 'Cause something's sure to live When something dies When she caught her train Wasn't looking for fame but it was Waiting at the end of an anchor Pulling her in To whiskey & gin It almost sank her Now she's drowning Just trying to reach for air Knowing she's had her share Coming down like rain Falling down like rain 'Cause nothing looks the same And everything has changed When will she get back on the train Hey hey For the tracks that remain And the Steel wheels of fate Hey hey For the tracks that remain And the Steel wheels of fate (Box cars like ghosts Like doors to other worlds Get outta your head Or you'll lose the girl She's a good ol' lady Don't let that heat die down The honey's sure thick in this town Thick like chain But sweeter than a train to Mexico When you live in the rain Oh I miss you so Please come home And darkness is only a phase Give it time to change In this dead city 'Cause It's gonna grow And you might not know any Place anymore By the name of Love Road)

about

Heather Christie's LOVE ROAD is a tasty fusion of soul/folk/funk/pop & R&B. This studio album was recorded by Portland & LA producer Steve Sundholm on a vintage analog reel-to-reel machine that is responsible for that warm, tube sound on your favorite albums from the 70's. LOVE ROAD is full of grooves so thick, they should be on vinyl!
