"Days You Live For" by Mica Roberts (Wade Kirby/Frank Myers)

1st Verse

Door gets slammed, heart gets broke
Watch some dream go up in smoke
Real bad luck, real bad joke
And these are the days you live through

2nd Verse

You lay your head on your pillow at night
Work's too hard, money's too tight
And you're not really sure it's gonna be alright
These are the days you live through
Just tryin' to get to

Pre Chorus

One of those moments
One of those moments

Chorus

That first home run, that first set 'a keys
That little bitty ring, down on one knee
You know that you will never be the same anymore
That honeymoon night, that drugstore test
When they lay that newborn on your chest
These are the days (and)
These are the days you live for

3rd Verse

We all fall down, we get back up
Drinkin' sweet 'n bitter from the very same cup
Then you wonder if all you've got's enough
These are the days you live through

4th Verse

So you hold on tight, and you hold your breath
You're freefallin' when you're scared to death
And you're on your way, but you're not there yet
These are the days you live through
Just tryin' to get to

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag Chorus

That first home run (first home run)
That first set 'a keys (first set of keys)
That first little kiss when you close your eyes
And you fall in love, and you talk all night
You know that you will never be the same anymore
When you see yourself in your baby's face
And you finally understand "Amazing Grace"
These are the days
These are the days you live for
These are the days you live for



    "Things A Mama Don't Know" by Mica Roberts featuring Toby Keith (Brandy Clark/Mark Narmore/Liz Rose)

1st Verse

I threw my bags in his back seat
Gave my mom a kiss on the cheek
Said, 'Don't worry 'bout me
I'll be fine'
My mama never liked him much
Always thought he was kinda rough
And nothin' in this world could change a girl's mind
No use tryin'

1st Chorus

Mom, he's a real go-getter
Love hasn't ever felt better
You won't believe all the things he's promisin' me
California, that's where we're goin'
He swears he can make a fortune
I know you don't think I should go
There's some things a mama don't know

2nd Verse

(The money ran out in Vegas)
(She's an all-night diner waitress)
(She'll do anything just to get by)
The hardest work he's done on his big career's a
Fifth 'a whiskey and a case of beer
When I talk to mama
I lie
I've got my pride

2nd Chorus

Mom, he's a real go-getter
Love hasn't ever felt better
You won't believe all the things he's promisin' me
California, that's where we're goin'
He swears he can make a fortune
Hope my voice don't let my secret show
Still some things a mama don't know

Bridge

Like wakin' up to broken dreams every day
Like knowin' there's a little one on the way
Like believin' that someone you love can change
Like hidin' the bruises on my face
Just for everyone else's sake

3rd Chorus

But mom, he's a real go-getter
Love hasn't ever felt better
You won't believe all the things he's promisin' me
California, that's where we're goin'
He swears he can make a fortune
Mama says, 'Baby, you can come back home'
But there's some things a mama don't know
(Hmmm) hmmm
