When You Lie Next To Me
Walk On
listen  "Walk On" by Kellie Coffey (Kellie Coffey/Wayne Kirkpatrick)

1st Verse

It came out of nowhere
And dropped like a stone
A careless betrayal
I could not believe it

2nd Verse

And I feel abandoned
Where did it all go wrong
The truth hit my blind spot
I could not see it

Pre Chorus

I cry out to Heaven to get me through hell
In the meantime, I just keep tellin' myself

Chorus

Walk on, and walk on
And don't let this sad setback break me
And walk on, walk on
And see where this detour will take me
'Cause I've been beaten down
On the ground
But I pick myself up
And dust off
And walk on

3rd Verse

Sun sets behind me
And all that's ahead
Is a long stretch of road
God knows where it's goin'

4th Verse

Cryin' comes easy
Out here in the dark
'Cause the hardest part
Is the fear of not knowin'

Pre Chorus

I ain't got nothin' left that I can lose
The only thing that I know I can do is

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag Chorus

I'm gonna walk on, mmm yeah
'Cause I've been beaten down
On the ground
But I
Oh, I've been beaten down
On the ground
But I'm gonna pick myself up
And dust off
And walk on
I'm gonna walk on



listen  "Everything She Never Wanted" by Kellie Coffey (Shaye Smith/Kellie Coffey)

1st Verse

A husband
That's the last thing on earth she'd ever need
Why would you go and marry someone big and hairy
Sounds like a buzz saw when he sleeps

2nd Verse

Babies
Yeah, they always got on her last nerve
They are loud and dirty and hungry and thirsty
And bound to spit up on your shirt

Pre Chorus

A piece 'a land, green trash can
Sittin' at the curb by the minivan
That's the picture in her head used to make her cringe
Yeah, but that was then

Chorus

Now she's got everything, everything she
Everything she always thought she never wanted
Right down to the checkered apron
And the cookies in a jar
It's everything, everything she
Everything she always thought she never wanted
She never wanted
But she loves it
(Yeah, she) really loves it

3rd Verse

One man
The only man she used to love was Benjamin
Talkin' 'bout Franklin
Greenbacks spankin' new in her hand
Itchin' to be spent

Pre Chorus

And all that mattered was that ladder
Brass was the only kinda ring she was after
When she finally made it to the top
It wasn't what she thought

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

It's nothin' like her dreams
She's nothin' like she thought she'd be
Oh, but there's nothin' she would change

Tag Chorus

'Cause she's got everything, everything she
Everything she always thought she never wanted
Right down to the checkered apron
And the cookies in a jar
It's everything, everything
Everything she always thought she never wanted

Yeah, she really loves it
Whoa, she loves it

She really loves it

Ooh, she loves her life



listen  "Strong Enough To Cry" by Kellie Coffey (Kellie Coffey/Wayne Kirkpatrick)

1st Verse

Why don't you ever break down
Or come unraveled
It's like you have somethin' to prove
Some image to keep
Even when your heavy heart is hurtin'
Oh, yeah
Why don't you ever open it up to me

Chorus

Yeah, you're strong enough
To go through fire for love
And take good care of me
And be my rock
But is there too much pride
To show a weaker side
Are you strong enough to cry

2nd Verse

I know I can always cry on your broad shoulders
You're always willin' to come and save me
I need to be needed, too
I do, mmm yeah
This dependin' on each other
Is a two-way street

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

I need to be needed, too
I do, mmm
This dependin' on each other

And be my rock
But is there too much pride
To show a weaker side
Are you strong enough

Are you strong enough to cry
Mmm, hmm
Strong enough



listen video  "I Would Die For That" by Kellie Coffey (Trina Harmon/James Slater/Kellie Coffey)

1st Verse

Jenny was my best friend
Went away one summer
Came back with a secret
She just couldn't keep
A child inside her
Was just too much for her
So she cried herself to sleep

Pre Chorus

And she made a decision
Some find hard to accept
Too young to know that one day
She might live to regret

1st Chorus

But I would die for that
Just to have one chance
To hold in my hands
All that she had
I would die for that

2nd Verse

I've been given so much
A husband that I love
So why do I feel incomplete
With every test and checkup
We're told not to give up
He wonders if it's him
And I wonder if it's me

Pre Chorus

And all I want is a family
Like everyone else I see
And I won't understand it
If it's not meant to be

2nd Chorus

'Cause I would die for that
Just to have one chance
To hold in my hands
All that they have
I would die for that
And I wanna know what it's like
To bring a dream to life
For that kind of love
Would I give up
I would die for that

Bridge

Sometimes it's hard to conceive
With all that I've got
And all I've achieved
What I want most
Before my time is gone
Is to hear the words, 'I love you, mom'

Tag Chorus

I would die for that
Just to have one chance
To hold in my hands
What so many have
I would die for that
And I wanna know what it's like
To bring a dream to life
How I would love
What some give up
I would die
I would die for that

It's the latest trend
When you get a boyfriend
Don'cha know you gotta get a tattoo
That movie star's got a dog in a bag
Don'cha think you oughtta get one, too

2nd Verse

Well, I got a cellphone
It'll call, it'll roam
It'll even light up in the shade
But it can't make movies
Like my friend Rudy's
So I guess I better get an upgrade

Pre Chorus

Take anything and drive it down
Into the ground

Chorus

Oh, everybody's jumpin' on the bandwagon
Everybody's jumpin' on the bandwagon
You'll see
Mercy me
Well, I'll be

3rd Verse

We're all linin' up
For the coffee cup
And I'd be willin' to beg
For a tall half de-caf double frappuccino
Even if it costs an arm and a leg

Gonna buckle down
Gonna drop a few pounds
Now that I'm in the know
Maybe I'll go no carb, low carb
Or maybe I'll just get in the zone

listen  "Texas Plates" by Kellie Coffey (Kellie Coffey/Brett James)

1st Verse

Trans Am, T-top's down
Red light, my home town
Nothin' to do, just cruisin' around
With a couple 'a my best friends
So, (he) pulls up in this blue Mustang
Finest thing we'd ever seen
All cowboy'd up in his hat 'n' jeans
Only one thing to do when he pulled away
We went...

Chorus

Flyin' down the Interstate
Chasin' those Texas plates
Seventeen, (we) couldn't wait
To see where the road might lead
Not a care in the whole wide world
Just three Oklahoma girls
Wantin' a piece of the Lone Star state
Chasin' those Texas plates
(Oh yeah, we were flyin')

2nd Verse

Blue letters read 'Cowboy Fan'
Texas flag on top of them
He looked like the kind of man
You can't take home to Mama
He went slow for a couple 'a miles
Flashin' lights and tradin' smiles, and
He stepped on the gas, and he waved goodbye
We knew we couldn't catch up, but we had to try
We were...

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

And I still love to remember
That Trans Am and that summer
And just how good it felt
When we went...

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh yeah, chasin' those Texas plates



listen  "Why Wyoming" by Kellie Coffey (Kellie Coffey/Wayne Kirkpatrick)

1st Verse

Maybe it was me who said that I would wait forever
Yeah, but it was you who said it wouldn't take that long
I sleep alone and wonder if you're comin' back
And what they have out there that I don't have

Chorus

(So) Baby, why Wyoming, for another day and then one more
Do you think you'll ever find what you're lookin' for
Tell me why Wyoming, why so far from me
Why not here, why not home in Tennessee

2nd Verse

Well you didn't find your golden dream in sunny California, oh
No revelation blazed across that Oklahoma sky
You move on with your reasons but no good excuse
For risking all we stand to lose

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Every moment that you're gone I feel you further away
But I wasn't gonna be the one to hold you back or make you stay, oh
Anywhere you go I know you'll find
No one's ever gonna love you like I do

Tag Chorus

So tell me why Wyoming, yeah

Tell me why Wyoming, why so far from me
Why not here, why not home in Tennessee
Yeah, why not here, why not home in Tennessee, yeah



"At The End Of The Day" by Kellie Coffey (Kellie Coffey/Brett James)

1st Verse

Throw the covers off my head
Shake my body out of bed
Stretch my arms out and look out the window
Sun is risin', birds are singin'
I am greeted by the gift of another new mornin'
And I know tonight as my head hits the pillow
I will ask myself as I look out the same window

Chorus

(At the end of the day)
Did I laugh and dance enough
Did I tell my friends how much they really mean to me
At the end of the day
Did I really push myself
(Or) was I too afraid
To give my heart away
At the end of the day (ooh)

2nd Verse

I wanna learn, I wanna love
Take some big chance
And just trust in my instincts and my intuition
If I win or if I lose
Any road that I choose I will drive all the way
I wanna know tonight as I fall fast asleep
I am one day closer to who I wanna be

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

To never forget what matters most, no
To never have to answer no
When I ask myself

(Chorus Out)



video  "When You Lie Next To Me" by Kellie Coffey (Kellie Coffey/Trina Harmon/J. D. Martin)

1st Verse

Oh
Maybe tonight
We could close the door and lock ourselves inside
Take time to feel
I don't want to miss the chance to be so real
The days all fly away, and I forget the truth
Everything that matters is in this room

Chorus

When you lie next to me
Breathin' the air I breathe
We don't have to speak
And just be (whoa)
A love's a precious thing
Don't wanna waste a day
Or one more minute
Without you in it
Life is so sweet
When you lie next to me
(When you lie next to me)

2nd Verse

My heart is yours
And every part of me still wants to give you more
More time to love
'Cause you never know when life will leave us
I want to take in all the beauty here, oh
Let the world around us just disappear

(Chorus Out)



"Fingerprints" by Kellie Coffey (Brett James/John Bettis)

1st Verse

There I was
All alone
Someone in just the right place
For somethin' to go wrong
Just when I thought
That I was safe and sound
He picked all the locks protecting me
And got to me somehow
Just look around
Everything is gone
All that's left is just this heartache I've got on

Chorus

He walked right in
And robbed me blind
He took all the love I had
It was almost the perfect crime
And slipped away like a thief into the night
Oh, but here I am still breathin'
The only proof he left behind
Look on my heart
If you want evidence
You'll find his fingerprints (oh, yeah)

2nd Verse

Just how I feel
Is hard to say
I guess the shock will fade away
But for today I'll be as strong as I can be
I saw the whole damn thing, but I still can't believe

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag Chorus

Oh, he slipped away like a thief into the night
Oh, but here I am still breathin'
The only proof he left behind
Look on my heart
If you want evidence
You'll find his fingerprints
Ooh, look on my heart
For the evidence
You'll find his fingerprints, oh



"The Simple Truth" by Kellie Coffey (Jennifer Hanson/Kim Patton-Johnston)

1st Verse

We could color it, wrap it up, tie it with a bow
We could sugercoat, or be polite, say it isn't so
We could watch a movie 'til it's late
Then turn out the lights
Aw, but somethin' in this pretty house just isn't right

Chorus

So (Oh) let the walls (come) (fall) down
Let it all fall down
Baby, make no excuse
I can't feel your love
Take off the kid gloves
And love me like you really do
By tellin' me the simple truth

2nd Verse

Baby, lately we're on eggshells just tiptoein' around
And the silence is so deafening, it drowns out sound
But the honesty, the deep emotions, what we know is real
So even if you're hurt and angry, tell me how you feel

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Hey, what's goin' on in your head
This is me you're talkin' to
Let's get down to the heart of the matter
'Cause that's all that matters

(Chorus Out)



listen  "I Just Knew" by Kellie Coffey (Kellie Coffey/Josh Leo)

1st Verse

No stars fell from the sky
(The) first time I looked in your eyes
No moonlight shinin' down
My feet never left the ground
No roses and a bottle of wine
No arrow or a neon sign
No heavenly angels sang on high
So how did I know it was right

Chorus

I just knew
Positively certain that you were the one for me
I just knew
Definitely sure in love that anyone could see
We were meant to be a part 'a history
Made for me and you
And it's already set from the moment we met
I just knew, oh

2nd Verse

Don't get me wrong
I could feel the heat
My heart beat fast
I could barely breathe
It was a genuine, pre-designed epiphany
That came over me

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Maybe it's intuition
But I've learned how to listen to my heart
'Cause it was you right from the start

(Chorus Out)
