Down in the Delta
Album Roots: The Americana Album
Writers Ariel Jade McCullough, Mike Loudermilk
Genre Country / Americana
A little Freddie and B.B. King Can't forget Mister Jerry Reed, They made those guitars ring The Allmans and The Doobies And that Lynyrd Skynyrd Band I grew up their biggest fan The closer to the swamp Ya can't help but feel that funk When you get way down South You'll hear that rock start to roll Makes you wanna shout —
Let's turn it on Til the break of dawn Yeah, it won't be long Til I sing my song Down in the Delta — Where the music moves your soul
Rosetta Tharpe, Bonnie Raitt John Lee Hooker — you can't mistake The way they bend those strings Muddy Waters in Mississippi Jimmie Rodgers and ole Bo Diddley And it's hard to top ZZ The closer to the swamp Ya can't help but feel that funk When you get way down South You'll hear that rock start to roll Makes you wanna shout —
Let's turn it on Til the break of dawn Yeah, it won't be long Til I sing my song Down in the Delta — Where the music moves your soul Where the music moves your soul
Roll My Eyes
Album Roots: The Americana Album
Writer Ariel Jade McCullough
Genre Americana / Country
You keep trying to convince me To believe your latest lies I can't go for that Why can't you realize… How long will it take Before you finally see What I'm looking for Is some real integrity I'm not the kind to scream and shout I'd rather try to work things out You don't wanna light my fuse I try to be the quiet type — that much is true
Don't make me roll my eyes 'Cause I'll roll right over you
Read my body language It's got stories to tell I don't like nobody Trying to put me through hell I try to walk in peace But sometimes things get rough Don't push me to the point When I've had too much I'm not the kind to scream and shout I'd rather try to work things out You don't wanna light my fuse I try to be the quiet type — that much is true
Don't make me roll my eyes 'Cause I'll roll right over you
When words can't relate The way I truly feel If you look into my eyes You'll see looks can kill
I'm not the kind to scream and shout I'd rather try to work things out You don't wanna light my fuse I try to be the quiet type — that much is true Don't make me roll my eyes 'Cause I'll roll right over you
Left My Blues in Mississippi
Album Roots: The Americana Album
Writer Ariel Jade McCullough
Genre Americana / Blues
Those ties that bind, I felt would hold me, Turned into a world of hurt I thought I'd found my one and only But it went from bad to worse I couldn't go on, had to leave home Got tired of that heavy load So I packed my bags, grabbed my guitar, And, Lord, I hit the road
I left my blues in Mississippi In a run-down Jackson shack Gonna mine for gold in Music City I'm on my way and making tracks Damn the cost, I know I'm better off And that's a natural fact 'Cause I left my blues in Mississippi And I ain't never lookin' back
I got a friend that I can stay with She's got a couch where I can crash I know a band that I can play with That'll get me by and make some cash I got dreams, plans and schemes That's gonna take me to the top Gotta keep on keepin' on I ain't never gonna stop
I left my blues in Mississippi In a run-down Jackson shack Gonna mine for gold in Music City I'm on my way and making tracks Damn the cost, I know I'm better off And that's a natural fact 'Cause I left my blues in Mississippi And I ain't never lookin' back
I left my blues in Mississippi In a run-down Jackson shack Gonna mine for gold in Music City I'm on my way and making tracks Damn the cost, I know I'm better off And that's a natural fact 'Cause I left my blues in Mississippi And I ain't never lookin' back
Redneck Redemption
Album Roots: The Americana Album
Writer Ariel Jade McCullough
Genre Country / Southern Rock
Like a loaded gun, don't matter where I shoot My temper flares when you try to spark my fuse I'll let loose like a cannon, ready to give you the boot If you light my firecracker, it's a fight you're gonna lose Don't you dare cross me, Once I fire warning shots I'll never pretend to be Something I'm not
My trigger finger's itchin' Now you got my attention So start prayin' for some redneck redemption
When you turn up the gaslight, the truth burns up the room You can't hide behind excuses that I can see right through Deflections and deceptions - well, that ain't gonna do Cause honey, when there's fire, there's plenty of smoke too Don't you dare cross me, Once I fire warning shots I'll never pretend to be Something I'm not
My trigger finger's itchin' Now you got my attention So start prayin' for some redneck redemption
The next words I'm expectin' Better be your confession
Don't you dare cross me, Once I fire warning shots I'll never pretend to be Something I'm not… Don't you dare cross me, Once I fire warning shots I'll never pretend to be Something I'm not My trigger finger's itchin' Now you got my attention So start prayin' for some redneck redemption
Some Bridges Are Worth Burnin'
Album Roots: The Americana Album
Writer Ariel Jade McCullough
Genre Country / Americana
They say there's two sides to the story But the truth will always bury you What I thought I found Was something that you never had to lose There was a time we had it all But time ran out and led to your downfall Every promise that you made came with a catch I'm done waiting — I just lit the match
Some bridges are worth burnin' Gonna turn it into ashes and smoke It's time for the tables to be turnin' I've lost every glimmer of hope All the angry words are spoken My give-a-damn is broken It's a hard lesson to be learnin'… but Some bridges are worth burnin'
The flames are in my rearview And I'm never goin' back The open road is waitin' And I'm on this one-way track Where I'll end up — only time will tell But my peace is worth more than a living hell That fire has been set — hotter than the sun I've got no regrets — when it's all said and done
Some bridges are worth burnin' Turned it into ashes and smoke This time — the tables are a'turnin' I lost every glimmer of hope All the angry words are spoken My give-a-damn is broken It's a hard lesson to be learnin'… but Some bridges are worth burnin'
End Up in a Song
Album Roots: The Americana Album
Writer Ariel Jade McCullough
Genre Country / Americana
Well they told me not to trust you It slipped through the holes in my head All I really need's for you to be true Or we both might wind up dead In the dead of the night Things not feelin' right Livin' life on the edge A promise made don't mean a promise kept So ya better not mess with my head I may be spicy, but I'm still sweet I'll keep you layin' here next to me As long as you treat me like the queen I am…
'Cause I'm a Southern Belle But, I can put you through hell Don't just be another story I'll tell You better not do me wrong Or you'll end up in a song
Now, bein' with me ain't easy And I ain't sayin' it is But if ya learn how to please me It'll come out good for you So you better do me right Or I'll do you wrong You better know what to expect All that will be left is what's left to write And this ain't an idle threat I may be spicy, but I'm still sweet I'll keep you layin' here next to me As long as you treat me like the queen I am…
'Cause I'm a Southern Belle But, I can put you through hell Don't just be another story I'll tell You better not do me wrong Or you'll end up in a song
A fight with my pen is one you'll never win You'll end up in my song You'll end up in a song You'll end up in my song
That Side of Me
Album Roots: The Americana Album
Writer Ariel Jade McCullough
Genre Country / Americana
After the day I had Something on the rocks was in my right hand While I was sitting there Starin' at the clock, here we go again Always pokin' that bear in me Wearing on my last nerve Warned him before, he'd better leave Now he'll get what he deserves
That Side Of Me You've gone too far Pushed me to my limits Should've left this bar That Side Of Me Ya wanna fight Now we're committed Gonna leave with scars Don't wanna see Where this is gonna lead That Side Of Me
When will he get tired Of making a moot point Mistake my quiet for weakness And see the demon I've become Always pokin' that bear in me Wearing on my last nerve Warned him before, he'd better leave Now he'll get what he deserves
That Side Of Me You've gone too far Pushed me to my limits Should've left this bar That Side Of Me Ya wanna fight Now we're committed Gonna leave with scars Don't wanna see Where this is gonna lead That Side Of Me
That Side Of Me That Side Of Me
Pebbles
Album Roots: The Americana Album
Writer Ariel Jade McCullough
Genre Folk / Americana
I've got a pocketful of pebbles And I'm traveling on But it don't matter now Since you've been gone The burden's heavier The days are long But all these troubles They make me strong
One pebble for the love we used to share A pebble for the love that's now not there All the lessons learned along the way I'm travelin' on… traveling on…
There's a fork in the road — Drop the pebble of hate One step closer to The life I want to make. My burden's lighter now, And I've made mistakes. But all these troubles Are falling away…
One pebble for the love we used to share A pebble for the love that's now not there All the lessons learned along the way I'm travelin' on… traveling on…
All the lessons that we've been here for… All the lessons that we don't ignore… Lighten our pockets and set us free To go home to our Heavenly Family…
One pebble for the love we used to share A pebble for the love that's now not there All the lessons learned along the way I'm travelin' on… traveling on…
