Verse 1

You walked in like trouble in a slow burn smile,

Boots hit the floor and I froze for a while.

Didn’t say much but your eyes gave it away,

You weren’t here just to walk away.



Had that lean-in close kinda energy,

Like you already knew what you’d do to me.

Yeah I tried playin’ it cool, playin’ it smart

But you already had me from the start.







Pre-Chorus

Don’t just stand there, sayin’ my name,

If you’re gonna make a move, don’t play no games







Chorus

Kiss me like you mean it, don’t hold nothin’ back,

Like you’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout this since the first hello we had.



Pull me in close like you ain’t scared to fall,

Like you don’t care who’s watchin’ at all.



If you’re gonna love me, baby don’t pretend

Don’t you give me half of somethin’ I won’t feel again.



Yeah if you want me, then prove it like that

Kiss me like you mean it… don’t hold back.







Verse 2

Your hand brushed mine and it lit a spark,

Felt like lightning runnin’ through the dark.

You laughed a little like you knew the truth,

Like you were already one step through.



I ain’t lookin’ for a maybe tonight,

I want real, I want wrong, I want right.

So don’t play safe, don’t take it slow—

If you’re gonna jump, then let it go.







Pre-Chorus

Don’t just look at me like that,

If you ain’t ready to follow through with it







Chorus

Kiss me like you mean it, don’t hold nothin’ back,

Like you’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout this since the first hello we had.



Pull me in close like you ain’t scared to fall,

Like you don’t care who’s watchin’ at all.



If you’re gonna love me, baby don’t pretend

Don’t you give me half of somethin’ I won’t feel again.



Yeah if you want me, then prove it like that

Kiss me like you mean it… don’t hold back.







Bridge

Don’t whisper maybe… don’t say someday,

I ain’t built for love that fades away.



You either want it or you don’t right now

So show me how







Final Chorus

Kiss me like you mean it, like it’s your last shot,

Like I’m the only thing you ever really got.



Like you ain’t afraid of what this could be

Like you’re fallin’ just as fast as me.



If you’re gonna love me, baby don’t pretend

Don’t you give me half of somethin’ I won’t feel again.



Yeah if you want me, then prove it like that

Kiss me like you mean it



Don’t hold back.

Tonight We Don't Care

Verse 1

I walked through hell with my boots laced tight,

Carried weight that stole my light.

They whispered low, tried to shame my name,

Tried to make me wear their blame.



But I stepped out of the dark, into the flame,

Looked the world dead on and said—

“Honey, you gon’ remember my name.”







Pre-Chorus

I cut the ropes, I broke the chains,

I ain’t livin’ small again—







Chorus

I’m dancin’ in the rain — yeah, baptized by pain,

Was broken, was bruised, but I rose up again.



You threw your stones, but baby here’s the truth—

Every hit you took just made me bulletproof.



I ain’t weak, I ain’t the same,

I found my fire in the flame—

Yeah I’m dancin’ in the rain…

And you can’t break me anyway.







Verse 2

I stitched my scars in every song I wrote,

Turned every bruise into a victory note.



You tried to tell me I’d never be enough,

But look at me now—I’m built from the rough.



Faced my demons, let ‘em go,

Now I walk tall, let it show—







Pre-Chorus 2

You tried to bury me in dirt and doubt,

But I came back stronger now—







Chorus

I’m dancin’ in the rain — yeah, baptized by pain,

Was broken, was bruised, but I rose up again.



You threw your stones, but baby here’s the truth—

Every hit you took just made me bulletproof.



I ain’t weak, I ain’t the same,

I found my fire in the flame—

Yeah I’m dancin’ in the rain…

And you can’t break me anyway.







Bridge

You thought I’d crumble? Honey please—

I’m built from truth and Georgia trees.



I’m the storm, I’m the spark, I’m the wild you fear,

I’m the woman who made it outta here.



You don’t get to judge my past—

I outgrew you, I outlast.







Final Chorus

I’m dancin’ in the rain — washed the old me away,

Found a brand new woman in the mess you made.



Every scar I carry shines brighter now,

I turned that pain into power somehow.



I ain’t weak, I ain’t ashamed—

I lit my life up from the flames—

Yeah I’m dancin’ in the rain…

And I’ll never be the same.







Outro

So let the sky open up,

Let the storm roll through…

‘Cause baby I’m still standin’—

And there ain’t nothin’ you can do.

Dancing In The Rain

Verse 1

Met you in a neon bar downtown

Boots on the floor while the jukebox played loud

Your makeup shining in that amber glow

Messy hair falling soft and slow



My old cologne and a whiskey glass

We laughed like the night was built to last

Then we stepped out where the headlights shine

To a truck and a long dirt line







Pre-Chorus

Cool night air through the window wide

Wind in your hair on a midnight ride







Chorus

Truck night lights and the window down

Cool night wind blowing all around

Boots on the dash and your messy hair

My cologne in the midnight air



Left that bar but the night ain’t done

Stars above and the highway runs

If love’s a road we’re riding tonight

It started under those bar room lights







Verse 2

Radio playing a slow old song

You leaned your head while we rolled along

Gravel road singing under the tires

Hearts burning like a backroad fire



Your laugh drifting through the breeze

That kind of sound brings a man to his knees

Every mile felt like something new

Every turn brought me closer to you







Pre-Chorus

Moonlight dancing in your eyes

Wind through the dark like a lullaby







Chorus

Truck night lights and the window down

Cool night wind blowing all around

Boots on the dash and your messy hair

My cologne in the midnight air



Left that bar but the night ain’t done

Stars above and the highway runs

If love’s a road we’re riding tonight

It started under those bar room lights







Bridge

Maybe someday this road will end

Maybe the night will turn again

But I’ll remember that first hello

Where the jukebox played and the whiskey flowed







Final Chorus

Truck night lights and the window down

Cool night wind spinning love around

Boots on the dash and your messy hair

That moment floating in the air



Left that bar but the night ain’t gone

It’s living in every country song

If forever had a start in sight

It began under those bar room lights

Bar Room Lights

Verse 1

I walk the roads that raised me,

where the hurt once held me down,

Where whispers of my past still echo

through this worn-out town.



But the girl they tried to break

ain’t the woman that I am —

I rose up from those ashes

with forgiveness in my hands.



I’ve carried storms and secrets,

I’ve carried loss and pain,

But every tear I cried got washed

away in Heaven’s rain.



And now I’m standing breathing

in a peace I never knew —

The quiet found the broken parts

the world once bruised in blue.







Pre-Chorus

I used to run from silence,

now it feels like home —

‘Cause peace don’t mean you’re finished…

it just means you’ve grown.







Chorus

This is where the quiet finds me,

where the shadows disappear,

Where the pieces of my heart

come back stronger every year.



I’m learning how to listen

when my spirit needs to grow —

And when I feel the wind blow,

that’s God telling me let go.



I’m not who I was —

I’m who I’m meant to be…

And this peace I feel tonight —

this is where the quiet finds me.







Verse 2

I’ve wrestled with my demons,

forgave what I could,

Cried for things I couldn’t fix

and loved the best I could.



I’ve walked away from battles

that were never mine to stay,

And learned not every broken thing

is mine to heal or save.



They said I wasn’t worthy,

said my past defined my name —

But God rewrote my story,

lit a fire in my veins.







Pre-Chorus

‘Cause healing ain’t a straight line,

it’s a slow and sacred climb —

But every step I’ve taken

led me to this time.







Chorus

This is where the quiet finds me,

where the shadows disappear,

Where the pieces of my heart

come back stronger every year.



I’m learning how to listen

when my spirit needs to grow —

And when I feel the wind blow,

that’s God telling me let go.



I’m not who I was —

I’m who I’m meant to be…

And this peace I feel tonight —

this is where the quiet finds me.







Bridge

Let the world keep spinning wild,

I’ll stand still in grace —

Every tear I ever cried

led me to this place.



I don’t need to chase what’s gone,

or carry what broke me —

Every shattered piece of me

helped my soul finally see.







Final Chorus (Soft / Emotional Lift)

This is where the quiet finds me,

wrapped in mercy, wrapped in light,

Where the past can’t haunt my footsteps

and the future feels so right.



I’m done carrying burdens

that were never mine to hold —

And with every breath I’m taking…

I’m finally letting go.



I’m not who I was —

I’m finally free…

And in the stillness of this moment —

this is where the quiet finds me.







Outro

Yeah… this is where the quiet finds me,

Where God whispers in the wind —

“You can let go now…

your healing has begun.”

WHERE THE QUIET FINDS ME

Verse 1





I poured that bottle just to calm this heart,

But every drop burned like your goodbye start.

Your shadow’s still dancin’ in this faded light,

Like you left your boots in my soul last night.



I tried movin’ on, but the truth hits slow —

Some memories burn harder than they let on show.

And every time I think I’m finally okay,

I hear your voice roll in like a midnight train.









Pre-Chorus





And I swear I’m over you,

’Til that old pain slips right through…









CHORUS (HARD)





Now there’s whiskey on your name,

And it hits me like a flame —

Burnin’ through the letters like they’re carved inside my veins.

Yeah, I drink, but you remain,

Every sip don’t taste the same —

’Cause baby, you left a fire I still can’t tame.

So I raise one up again…

Yeah, there’s whiskey on your name.









Verse 2





Your old hoodie’s still hangin’ on the backroom chair,

I tried to toss it once, but my heart wouldn’t dare.

Your smell crawls in like a slow sad song,

And I hate how that memory still feels so strong.



I could dance with strangers in a neon haze,

But none of ’em shake me like you used to, babe.

I laugh, I smile, I pretend I’m fine —

But you show up every damn time.









Pre-Chorus





Thought the whiskey’d wash you clean,

But you haunt every in-between…









CHORUS (BIGGER)





Now there’s whiskey on your name,

And it hits me like a flame —

Burnin’ through the letters like they’re carved inside my veins.

Yeah, I drink, but you remain,

Every sip don’t taste the same —

Baby, you left a fire I still can’t tame.

So I raise one up again…

Yeah, there’s whiskey on your name.









Bridge



(emotional + powerful)





Maybe someday I’ll let you go,

Stop drownin’ your memory shot for shot, slow.

But tonight that bottle knows the truth —

Every heartbreak still leads back to you.








Final Chorus (BIG & RAW)





Now there’s whiskey on your name,

And it hits me just the same —

Burnin’ like the hell you left inside this heart you claimed.

Yeah, I drink, but you remain,

No matter how I numb the pain —

Seems every drop still whispers your damn name.

So here I go again…

Yeah, there’s whiskey…

whiskey on your name.









Outro





Guess some loves don’t fade —

They just turn into whiskey on your name.

Whiskey On Your Name

Verse 1

We were barefoot in red clay, summer in our skin

Rusted porch swing, radio playing’ again

Pine trees lined the road like they knew our names

Trailer park dreams but it still felt safe

Daddy said, “Baby, when I’m gone someday

Don’t you cry too hard, don’t you run away

Just look for me where the shadows shine

Meet me under that Georgia pine”







Pre-Chorus

Life was heavy but love was strong

We didn’t have much, but we had home

And even now when I close my eyes

I still hear his voice in the quiet night







Chorus

Meet me under that Georgia pine

Where the world slowed down and you were still mine

With a beer in your hand and a half-smile grin

Sayin’ “Girl, you made it… I knew you would”

Meet me under that Georgia pine

Where the hurt let's go and the peace feels right

If Heaven’s close, I know I’ll find

Your heart still waiting’ under that Georgia pine







Verse 2

Trailer’s gone now, just the trees remain

But I walked that land in the pouring rain

Held your ashes close, whispered your name

Didn’t care what the rules said, it felt the same

‘Cause love doesn’t live in a line of law

It lives where we laid our broken hearts

And if you’re anywhere, I know the sign

You’re waiting’ on me under that Georgia pine

Meet Me Under That Georgia Pine

I walked through hell with my boots laced tight,

Carried weight that stole my light.

They whispered low, tried to shame my name,

Tried to make me wear their blame.



But I stepped out of the dark, into the flame,

Looked the world dead on and said—

“Honey, you gon’ remember my name.”







Pre-Chorus

I cut the ropes, I broke the chains,

I ain’t livin’ small again—







Chorus

I’m dancin’ in the rain — yeah, baptized by pain,

Was broken, was bruised, but I rose up again.



You threw your stones, but baby here’s the truth—

Every hit you took just made me bulletproof.



I ain’t weak, I ain’t the same,

I found my fire in the flame—

Yeah I’m dancin’ in the rain…

And you can’t break me anyway.







Verse 2

I stitched my scars in every song I wrote,

Turned every bruise into a victory note.



You tried to tell me I’d never be enough,

But look at me now—I’m built from the rough.



Faced my demons, let ‘em go,

Now I walk tall, let it show—







Pre-Chorus 2

You tried to bury me in dirt and doubt,

But I came back stronger now—







Chorus

I’m dancin’ in the rain — yeah, baptized by pain,

Was broken, was bruised, but I rose up again.



You threw your stones, but baby here’s the truth—

Every hit you took just made me bulletproof.



I ain’t weak, I ain’t the same,

I found my fire in the flame—

Yeah I’m dancin’ in the rain…

And you can’t break me anyway.







Bridge

You thought I’d crumble? Honey please—

I’m built from truth and Georgia trees.



I’m the storm, I’m the spark, I’m the wild you fear,

I’m the woman who made it outta here.



You don’t get to judge my past—

I outgrew you, I outlast.







Final Chorus

I’m dancin’ in the rain — washed the old me away,

Found a brand new woman in the mess you made.



Every scar I carry shines brighter now,

I turned that pain into power somehow.



I ain’t weak, I ain’t ashamed—

I lit my life up from the flames—

Yeah I’m dancin’ in the rain…

And I’ll never be the same.







Outro

So let the sky open up,

Let the storm roll through…

‘Cause baby I’m still standin’—

And there ain’t nothin’ you can do.

Dancing In The Rain

Verse 1

Met you in a neon bar downtown

Boots on the floor while the jukebox played loud

Your makeup shining in that amber glow

Messy hair falling soft and slow



My old cologne and a whiskey glass

We laughed like the night was built to last

Then we stepped out where the headlights shine

To a truck and a long dirt line







Pre-Chorus

Cool night air through the window wide

Wind in your hair on a midnight ride







Chorus

Truck night lights and the window down

Cool night wind blowing all around

Boots on the dash and your messy hair

My cologne in the midnight air



Left that bar but the night ain’t done

Stars above and the highway runs

If love’s a road we’re riding tonight

It started under those bar room lights







Verse 2

Radio playing a slow old song

You leaned your head while we rolled along

Gravel road singing under the tires

Hearts burning like a backroad fire



Your laugh drifting through the breeze

That kind of sound brings a man to his knees

Every mile felt like something new

Every turn brought me closer to you







Pre-Chorus

Moonlight dancing in your eyes

Wind through the dark like a lullaby







Chorus

Truck night lights and the window down

Cool night wind blowing all around

Boots on the dash and your messy hair

My cologne in the midnight air



Left that bar but the night ain’t done

Stars above and the highway runs

If love’s a road we’re riding tonight

It started under those bar room lights







Bridge

Maybe someday this road will end

Maybe the night will turn again

But I’ll remember that first hello

Where the jukebox played and the whiskey flowed







Final Chorus

Truck night lights and the window down

Cool night wind spinning love around

Boots on the dash and your messy hair

That moment floating in the air



Left that bar but the night ain’t gone

It’s living in every country song

If forever had a start in sight

It began under those bar room lights

Bar Room Lights

Verse 1

I walk the roads that raised me,

where the hurt once held me down,

Where whispers of my past still echo

through this worn-out town.



But the girl they tried to break

ain’t the woman that I am —

I rose up from those ashes

with forgiveness in my hands.



I’ve carried storms and secrets,

I’ve carried loss and pain,

But every tear I cried got washed

away in Heaven’s rain.



And now I’m standing breathing

in a peace I never knew —

The quiet found the broken parts

the world once bruised in blue.







Pre-Chorus

I used to run from silence,

now it feels like home —

‘Cause peace don’t mean you’re finished…

it just means you’ve grown.







Chorus

This is where the quiet finds me,

where the shadows disappear,

Where the pieces of my heart

come back stronger every year.



I’m learning how to listen

when my spirit needs to grow —

And when I feel the wind blow,

that’s God telling me let go.



I’m not who I was —

I’m who I’m meant to be…

And this peace I feel tonight —

this is where the quiet finds me.







Verse 2

I’ve wrestled with my demons,

forgave what I could,

Cried for things I couldn’t fix

and loved the best I could.



I’ve walked away from battles

that were never mine to stay,

And learned not every broken thing

is mine to heal or save.



They said I wasn’t worthy,

said my past defined my name —

But God rewrote my story,

lit a fire in my veins.







Pre-Chorus

‘Cause healing ain’t a straight line,

it’s a slow and sacred climb —

But every step I’ve taken

led me to this time.







Chorus

This is where the quiet finds me,

where the shadows disappear,

Where the pieces of my heart

come back stronger every year.



I’m learning how to listen

when my spirit needs to grow —

And when I feel the wind blow,

that’s God telling me let go.



I’m not who I was —

I’m who I’m meant to be…

And this peace I feel tonight —

this is where the quiet finds me.







Bridge

Let the world keep spinning wild,

I’ll stand still in grace —

Every tear I ever cried

led me to this place.



I don’t need to chase what’s gone,

or carry what broke me —

Every shattered piece of me

helped my soul finally see.







Final Chorus (Soft / Emotional Lift)

This is where the quiet finds me,

wrapped in mercy, wrapped in light,

Where the past can’t haunt my footsteps

and the future feels so right.



I’m done carrying burdens

that were never mine to hold —

And with every breath I’m taking…

I’m finally letting go.



I’m not who I was —

I’m finally free…

And in the stillness of this moment —

this is where the quiet finds me.







Outro

Yeah… this is where the quiet finds me,

Where God whispers in the wind —

“You can let go now…

your healing has begun.”

WHERE THE QUIET FINDS ME

Verse 1





I poured that bottle just to calm this heart,

But every drop burned like your goodbye start.

Your shadow’s still dancin’ in this faded light,

Like you left your boots in my soul last night.



I tried movin’ on, but the truth hits slow —

Some memories burn harder than they let on show.

And every time I think I’m finally okay,

I hear your voice roll in like a midnight train.









Pre-Chorus





And I swear I’m over you,

’Til that old pain slips right through…









CHORUS (HARD)





Now there’s whiskey on your name,

And it hits me like a flame —

Burnin’ through the letters like they’re carved inside my veins.

Yeah, I drink, but you remain,

Every sip don’t taste the same —

’Cause baby, you left a fire I still can’t tame.

So I raise one up again…

Yeah, there’s whiskey on your name.









Verse 2





Your old hoodie’s still hangin’ on the backroom chair,

I tried to toss it once, but my heart wouldn’t dare.

Your smell crawls in like a slow sad song,

And I hate how that memory still feels so strong.



I could dance with strangers in a neon haze,

But none of ’em shake me like you used to, babe.

I laugh, I smile, I pretend I’m fine —

But you show up every damn time.









Pre-Chorus





Thought the whiskey’d wash you clean,

But you haunt every in-between…









CHORUS (BIGGER)





Now there’s whiskey on your name,

And it hits me like a flame —

Burnin’ through the letters like they’re carved inside my veins.

Yeah, I drink, but you remain,

Every sip don’t taste the same —

Baby, you left a fire I still can’t tame.

So I raise one up again…

Yeah, there’s whiskey on your name.









Bridge



(emotional + powerful)





Maybe someday I’ll let you go,

Stop drownin’ your memory shot for shot, slow.

But tonight that bottle knows the truth —

Every heartbreak still leads back to you.








Final Chorus (BIG & RAW)





Now there’s whiskey on your name,

And it hits me just the same —

Burnin’ like the hell you left inside this heart you claimed.

Yeah, I drink, but you remain,

No matter how I numb the pain —

Seems every drop still whispers your damn name.

So here I go again…

Yeah, there’s whiskey…

whiskey on your name.









Outro





Guess some loves don’t fade —

They just turn into whiskey on your name.
