Wave of the Hand: The Best of Carla Olson
Honest As Daylight: The Best of Carla Olson
The Ring of Truth
Too Hot For Snakes
"The Ring Of Truth" by Carla Olson (Saul Davis/Carla Olson/Robert Ford)

1st Verse

You were the first to leave school
And wore the first tattoo
Believed your dreams
And were in awe of your schemes
It all had the ring of truth

2nd Verse

How many borders were crossed
How many mountains were climbed
How many of the seven seas were sailed by you
It all had the ring of truth
It all had the ring of truth

Bridge

You were the only one
You were the only one
Yes you're the only one

3rd Verse

Now that we've become a bit wiser
A trifle long in the tooth
Reflect and wonder what has and hasn't been
It all had the ring of truth

4td Verse

Your promised tales of romance and lust
Sounded convincing
You had our trust
But did it come to pass or all melt to dust
It all had the ring of truth
It all had the ring of truth
It all had the ring of truth
I said it all had the ring of truth



listen  "Locked Up Tight" by Carla Olson (Carla Olson/Brian Brown)

1st Verse

Coonskin caps in
The back of the '55
Up late, can't wait
Capone is still alive

Chorus

(And) I tried so hard to reach you
What happened to my white knight
(And) I just can't seem to reach you
('Cause) Your world is locked up tight
(Your world is locked up tight)
((Yeah) Your world is locked up tight)
((I said now) Come on, baby)
(We can unlock the locked up tight)
(Ooh, baby)

2nd Verse

Bunk beds, burr heads
Vacations in the sun
Sneak in drive-ins
You know
Rowdy always won

(Repeat Chorus)

3rd Verse

Park dance, pegged pants
Those were the best of days
Lost friends, youth ends
Fear drove them away

(Chorus Out)
