Ashley Monroe - The Blade Lyrics






On To Something Good

Wheels are gonna rust If they don't turn enough,
And so the story goes
Yeah, I've been one of those worn and faded by the rain
Days are gonna fly
Draw lines around your eyes
It'll make you bitter, it'll make you wise
it's coming either way

Lost and found, I'm better dancing when I don't look down
Hard times roll up but they don't hang around
I feel like I'm on to something good
I'm better moving on than going back
I'll ride this train till it runs out of track
I feel like I'm on to something, something, something

I can't tell you how or where I'm heading now
But, the winding of the road is steadying my soul
Feels like I'm coming home
Oh yeah
It's in the wind that's blowing, it's in the red wine
Life's got it's way of showing when it's the right time

Lost and found, I'm better dancing when I don't look down
Hard times roll up but they don't hang around
I feel like I'm on to something good
I'm better moving on than going back
I'll ride this train till it runs out of track
I feel like I'm on to something, something, something

Oooh something, something
Oooh something, something

Lost and found, I'm better dancing when I don't look down
Hard times roll up but they don't hang around
I feel like I'm on to something good
I'm better moving on than going back
Yeah, I'll ride this train till it runs out of track
I feel like I'm on to something, something, something

Oh I feel like I'm on
Oooh something, something
Feel like i'm onto something
Oooh something, something

I Buried Your Love Alive

Woke up this morning in a cold, cold sweat
Heart broke and beating out of my chest
I cried out your name against my will
A memory I can't kill

I buried your love alive (Buried your love alive)
I buried your love alive (I buried your love alive)
I buried your love alive (Buried your love alive)
Deep inside me, there's a shallow grave
That haunts me every day, yeah
I buried your love alive

Getting tired and I don't wanna deal
You left me holding too damn much to feel
So I found a bottle, drank some booze
I did what I had to do, yeah

I buried your love alive (Buried your love alive)
I buried your love alive (I buried your love alive)
I buried your love alive (Buried your love alive)
It drives me crazy and it makes me cry
Wish I could make it die
I buried your love alive
Yes, I did

I got what I wanted, I guess
I confess I did not want to let you go

So I buried your love alive
Yeah, I buried your love alive
Oh, no
Oh, I buried your love alive (Buried your love alive)
Oh, no (I buried your love alive)
Oh, no, I buried your love alive

Woke up this morning in a cold, cold sweat
Heart broke and beating out of my chest
I cried out your name against my will
A memory I can't kill

Bombshell

I could wait until you're sleeping, you'd never hear me leaving
Go without saying a word
I could write it in a letter; maybe it'd be better
Who knows? It could make it worse
Save it for a rainy day
Baby, either way, I'm damning it straight to Hell

Ten to three, you're half past nine
It'll never be a good time to drop a bombshell

If I did a little drinking, may numb me into thinking
I could tell you face to face
If I harden my heart, I'd tear us apart
So I wouldn't have to carry this weight
Here on my shoulder
I'd tell you it's over 'stead of keeping it to myself

Morning or midnight, it'll never be a good time
To drop a bombshell

I can't love you
I can't love you anymore
I can't love you
I can't love you anymore

Driving through the smoke, out of the ashes
Looking for a place to land
All that I know is I can't go back, so I'm driving fast as I can
Picking up pieces, praying to Jesus
Lord, I'm gonna need your help

It ain't the easy way
There's always a price to pay for dropping a bombshell
Ten to three, you're half past nine
It'll never be a good time

Weight Of The Load

The weight of the load
Brings everybody down
The rocks that they've thrown
Are killing me now

When fear and doubts
Are calling you out
Well, I'll help you out
With the weight of the load

The hardest of hearts
Still can change
Alone in the dark
Broken and stained

When fear and doubts
Are calling you out
Well, I'll help you out
With the weight of the load

When you're at the end of your road
Thinking about giving up hope
True love's gonna find you
This much I know
With the weight of the load

The weight of the load
Brings everybody down
The rocks that they've thrown
They're killing you now

When fear and doubts
Start calling you out
Well, I'll help you out
With the weight of the load
The weight of the load
The weight of the load
The weight of the load
I'll help you out
With the weight of the load
I'll help you out

The Blade

I let your love in, I have the scar
I felt the razor against my heart
I thought we were both in all the way
But you caught it by the handle
And I caught it by the blade

You said "goodbye, it's not the end
And if you need me, I'm still your friend"
Well, that's easy for you to say
Cause you caught it by the handle
And I caught it by the blade

That's the risk you run when you love, when you love
And you give it all you've got to give
Knowing all along there's a chance, there's a chance
You'll reach and they won't
You'll bleed and they don't

For you, it's over; for me, it's not
I kept trying and you just stopped
Now I know how you can sound so brave
Cause you caught it by the handle, baby
And I caught it by the blade

That's the risk you run when you love, when you love
And you give it all you've got to give
Knowing all along there's a chance, there's a chance
You'll reach and they won't
You'll bleed and they don't

I thought we were both in all the way
But you caught it by the handle
And I caught it by the blade
You caught it by the handle, baby
And I caught it by the blade

Winning Streak

I got a good foundation
On a bad reputation
Got a floor I've been pacing
And a broken heart breaking
In a game of fools
I'd be hard to beat

Yeah, if losing's a game
I'm on a winning streak

I got a bottle that's empty
And a [?] that gets me
If I was me, I'd quit me
When I gambled my last 50
On a game of fools
But it ain't easy streak

Yeah, if losing's a game
I'm on a winning streak

Hey, hey, I'm on a roll
Gone as low as a low can go
Standing at the old crossroads
Damned old devil won't buy my soul
Hey, hey, I blow on the dice
[?]
This old town, it don't play nice
Hit me once, hell, hit me twice

If losing's a game
I'm on a winning streak
Yes, I am

Well, my mind is unadjusted
And my guitar strings are rusted
Had somebody that I trusted
Leave me broke and busted
On a game of fools
Now I'm drowning in defeat

Yeah, if losing's a game
I'm on a winning streak
Oh, baby, if losing's a game
I'm on a winning streak

Hey, I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll now, child
I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll now, baby
Hey, I'm on a roll
Hey, I'm on a roll
Hey, I'm on a roll now, baby

From Time To Time

Hush, little darling, celebrate
Today's gonna be your birthday
Even if it's not the 10th of September
Sometimes down here you will find
Life won't give you peace of mind
It's like you're holding on to a dying ember

Someday, you'll be fine
Sweet as wine
But it's alright to remember
I am where you're at
Close your eyes and you'll see
That you'll remember
From time to time

Hush, little darling, don't you cry
You're the apple of my eye
Always have been, always will be forever
Wish you well or wish you [?]
You do things you think you don't
You can grow a rose right out of the winter

Someday, you'll be fine
Sweet as wine
But it's alright to remember
I am where you're at
Close your eyes and you'll see
That you'll remember
From time to time

Someday, you'll be fine
Sweet as wine
But it's alright to remember
I am where you're at
Close your eyes and you'll see
That you'll remember
From time to time

If Love Was Fair

I wouldn't be half lit drunk
Digging 'round the danger
Wrapping my number on a coaster
Sliding it to a stranger
Walking crooked justifying all my bad behavior
Tangled up in someone's arms I know I won't see later
I wouldn't be getting good at getting good at staying calm
Or sitting high and mighty on my broken throne
I wouldn't be cursing God for leaving me here all alone
I wouldn't be stuck between a rock and being stung

If love was fair
I'd be golden
Cause you'd be there
I know it's patient
I know it's kind
But it wouldn't change its mind
And I feel there
If love was fair

I wouldn't be replaying what it was and what it wasn't
Or thinking I could change if I only saw it coming
It wouldn't take everything I have to rise above it
There'd be some kind of peace
Yeah, there'd be some kind of justice

If love was fair
I'd be golden
Cause you'd be there
I know it's patient
I know it's kind
But it wouldn't change its mind
And I feel there
If love was fair

Love is twisted
It has its rules
And I'd be over it like you

If love was fair
I'd be golden
Cause you'd be there
I know it's patient
I know it's kind
But it wouldn't change its mind
And I feel there
If love was fair

Has Anybody Ever Told You?

Has anybody ever told you
They'd be lucky just to know you
How many nights spent wishing they could hold you
Has anybody ever told you

And when you walk into a dark room
Light of a thousand moons surround you
Yeah there's just something about you
Has anybody ever told you

Baby you don't have to try
Your light just shines on its own
And when I stand beside you
I just wanna hold on

I don't know how to explain it
Oh but you keep my sky from raining
Yeah and you turn the gray to bright blue
Has anybody ever told you

Baby you don't have to try
Your light just shines on its own
And when I stand beside you
I just wanna hold on

Has anybody ever told you
They'd be lucky just to know you
How many nights spent wishing they could hold you
Has anybody ever told you

I know I'm not the first to wanna hold you
But has anybody ever told you

Dixie

If I ever get out of Dixie
Gonna buy me some brand new shoes
Gonna have somebody shine 'em up soon as I pay my dues
If I ever get out of Tennessee
Out from 'neath this dust and dirt
Gonna live just like a high and mighty
Gonna get what I deserve

When I cross that line, man I'll sing a brand new song
Instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks whistlin' Dixie all day long
I'm so tired of paying, praying for my sins
Lord get me outta Dixie Land in Jesus' name, amen

It was the mines that killed my daddy
It was the law that killed my man
It was the Bible belt that whipped me
When I broke the Fifth Command
I don't hate the weather
I don't hate the land
But if I had my way I'd never see this place again

When I cross that line, man I'll sing a brand new song
Instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks whistlin' Dixie all day long
I'm so tired of paying, praying for my sins
Lord get me outta Dixie Land in Jesus' name, amen
When I cross that line, man I'll sing a brand new song
Instead of sitting here by the railroad tracks whistlin' Dixie all day long
I'm so tired of paying, praying for my sins
Lord get me outta Dixie Land in Jesus' name, amen

When I tread out of these parts
Look me up on the other side
Cause I'll be damned if I go down in Dixie when I die
Yeah, I'll be damned if I go down in Dixie when I die

If The Devil Dont Want Me

I'm out walking in dark alleys
Searching for shadows in the valleys
You were my Heaven, you were my home
So what am I supposed to do when Heaven is gone?

If the devil don't want me
Where the hell do I go?
If I can't see the light
In the neon glow
If there ain't enough whiskey
To kill the fire in my soul
If the devil don't want me
Where the hell do I go?

I've heard stories 'bout honky tonk angels
Picking up pieces of broken strangers
I'm at rock bottom with a smoke and a sin
When the party is over, then I'm lonely again

If the devil don't want me
Where the hell do I go?
If I can't see the light
In the neon glow
If there ain't enough whiskey
To kill the fire in my soul
If the devil don't want me
Where the hell do I go?
No, there ain't enough whiskey
To kill the fire in my soul
If the devil don't want me
Where the hell do I go?

Mayflowers

If April showers bring May flowers
And a flower brings a smile
Then I can't complain about all this rain
Cause I love it when you smile
It's been a long, long, cold winter
I didn't think we'd make it through
I was trying but I could not remember
The last time I'd seen your eyes so blue

And if I have to wait
Well, that's what I'm gonna do
For Spring to come
And the roses bloom
Yeah, I'll bring them home
I'll bring them home to you

What I wouldn't give to see you
With a gold back in your head
If I could look out the kitchen window in the garden
And see you standing there
If April showers bring May flowers
And a flower brings a smile
Then I can't complain about all this rain
Cause I love it when you smile

And if I have to wait
Well, that's what I'm gonna do
For Spring to come
And the roses bloom
Yeah, I'll bring them home
Yeah, I'll bring them home to you

And if I have to wait
Well, that's what I'm gonna do
For Spring to come
And the roses bloom
And bring them home
Yeah, I'll bring them home
Yeah, I'll bring them home to you

Im Good At Leavin

I'm good at leaving
It's all I do
I'll hang around a day or two
And like the wild wind, I'll be gone
I've always been a rolling stone
I'm good at walkin' out the door
And I don't love you anymore
You're a fool for not believing
I'm good at leaving

I've tried and I've tried
To keep 'em all satisfied
I've prayed and I've stayed too long
If something comes over me
I got a knack for being free
I'm just following a feeling
I'm good at leaving

A couple times I said I do
A couple times I said we're through
I never really seem to get what I was needing
I'm good at packing up my car
I'm good at honky tonks and bars
I'm bad at staying home and cleaning
I'm good at leaving

I've tried and I've tried
To keep 'em all satisfied
I've prayed and I've stayed too long
If something comes over me
I got a knack for being free
I'm just following a feeling
I'm good at leaving

I've tried and I've tried
To keep 'em all satisfied
I've prayed and I've stayed too long
If something comes over me
I got a knack for being free
I'm just following a feeling
I'm good at leavin'
Yeah, something comes over me
I got a knack for being free
I'm bad at hearing babies screaming
I'm good at leavin'
