Been through all the 12 steps, made it back safe and sound Made ammends with Heavens help to those I’ve knocked around But tonight I need a 2-step, in one of my ol’ haunts No fights, no booze, not gonna pick up where I left off If you’re gonna dance with the Devil, you’d better mind your step You’re bound to slip and fall and caterwaul and trip on your regrets Keep the faith and let yourself be free ‘Cus if you’re gonna dance with the Devil, you might as well take the lead The boys are on the bandstand, cowboys, girls, and all the crew I’m on my guard ‘cus at every turn temptation’s wearing boots I still don’t know any better, so I best get out of here Too much, too soon, too heavy, somebody better hold my beer If you’re gonna dance with the Devil, you’d better mind your step You’re bound to slip and fall and caterwaul and trip on your regrets Keep the faith and let yourself be free ‘Cus if you’re gonna dance with the Devil, you might as well take the lead Been through all the 12 steps, made it back safe and sound Made ammends with Heavens help to those I’ve knocked around But tonight I need a 2-step, in one of my ol’ haunts No fights, no booze, not gonna pick up where I left off If you’re gonna dance with the Devil, you’d better mind your step You’re bound to slip and fall and caterwaul and trip on your regrets Keep the faith and let yourself be free ‘Cus if you’re gonna dance with the Devil, you might as well take the lead If you’re gonna dance with the Devil You might as well take the lead

I leave destruction in my wake A trail of anguish and heartbreak My mama tried to teach me faith When she gave up on me Here’s what I became I’m a wildfire Out of control Dangerous and unpredictable It feeds the fire in my soul To run wild and free There’s a wildfire in me I joined the righteous and gave up The path to heaven is too rough I’ll see the devil soon enough Considering where I’m going Might as well make it hot I’m a wildfire Out of control Dangerous and unpredictable It feeds the fire in my soul To run wild and free There’s a wildfire in me These broken wings can’t be restored If I can’t fly then I will soar I’m a wildfire Out of control Dangerous and unpredictable It feeds the fire in my soul To run wild… I’m a wildfire Out of control Dangerous and unpredictable It feeds the fire in my soul To run wild and free, oh yeah There’s a wildfire in me

It Made Me, Me 2020 © Jessica Lynne Witty Verse 1: I’ve been lost and I’ve been found I’ve had both feet on the ground And sometimes I feel I’m floundering and selfish I’ve had lows and I’ve had highs I’ve been left wondering why I’ve had my share of heartaches, crying feeling helpless Pre-chorus: Sometimes I wish I could change it Wish I could turn back the time Chorus: But it made me who I am It made me wild and free And now I understand It made me me Verse 2: There are times where I stand tall At times I know nothing at all Yeah, this rollercoaster’s always got me spinning Just when I’m about to give in I think I’m out where I can’t swim I’ll be standing at the finish line grinning Pre-chorus: Sometimes I wish I could frame it Freeze a moment in time Chorus Pre-chorus: There’s no way I can lose it The good the bad it’s all mine Chorus Tag: It made me me

People say I’m hell on heels And you’re a smooth talkin’ son of a gun You and me together is a deal with the Devil But I’m thinkin’ that it might be fun Some of the craziest well laid plans Started one step over the line Just because it’s a bad idea Don’t mean we won’t have a good time One more smoke, one more toke One more bottle of wine Just because it’s a bad idea Don’t mean we won’t have a good time I can be your under the influence You can be my partner in crime You’re thinking Romeo and Juliet But we’re more like Bonnie & Clyde We’ll be blazing through town with the windows down With cigarettes and Blue Moonshine Just because it’s a bad idea Don’t mean we won’t have a good time One more smoke, one more toke One more bottle of wine Just because it’s a bad idea Don’t mean we won’t have a good time Together forever, for worse or for better Gonna make you mine all mine Just because it’s a bad idea Don’t mean we won’t have a good time Just because it’s a bad idea Don’t mean we won’t have a good time

I like where this is going It could be soon to tell There’s no need for excuses ‘cause the truth is That I can just be myself I just felt my heart stand still for a moment Was it just me, or did you feel it too? So be who you wanna be And let things come naturally Just don’t fall out of love with me just yet Don’t fall out of love with me just yet It’s supposed to be easy At least that’s what they say Well, maybe I’m just jaded, or it faded ‘Cause ‘till now it’s never been that way I just felt my wall come down in an instant With nothing to fear and nothing to prove I’ll be who I wanna be And let things come naturally Just don’t fall out of love with me just yet Don’t fall out of love with me just yet I like how this feels, right here, in this moment I’ll try not to plan too far ahead Let it be what it’s gonna be And let things come naturally Just don’t fall out of love with me just yet Don’t fall out of love with me just yet Don’t fall out of love with me just yet

She wears her crazy on the outside And now it’s there for all to see Almost enough to make you tongue tied Aren’t you glad you set her free Now, I know you couldn’t tell she seemed normal at first But now you’ve seen it aren’t you relieved She wears her crazy on the outside Woah… I’m glad it ain’t me Woah… Spending quality time Never crossing a line And you still feel inclined to walk on eggshells Always going in blind When she says she don’t mind Did that “fine” mean she’s fine you never can tell She’s passively aggressively picking at you Making your life a living hell She wears her crazy on the outside And now it’s there for all to see Almost enough to make you tongue tied Aren’t you glad you set her free Now, I know you couldn’t tell she seemed normal at first But now you’ve seen it aren’t you relieved She wears her crazy on the outside Woah… I’m glad it ain’t me Woah… Your identity wanes Like a runaway train You need somebody sane to put your trust in Never mind what you say When you’re wrong either way If you’re always to blame you never can win She used to keep the worst of it all bottled up But now she’s done keeping it in She wears her crazy on the outside And now it’s there for all to see Almost enough to make you tongue tied Aren’t you glad you set her free Now, I know you couldn’t tell she seemed normal at first But now you’ve seen it aren’t you relieved She wears her crazy on the outside Woah… I’m glad it ain’t me Woah… You used to think that you had it all figured out but she turned your life upside down, and around She wears her crazy on the outside And now it’s there for all to see Almost enough to make you tongue tied Aren’t you glad you set her free Now, I know you couldn’t tell she seemed normal at first But now you’ve seen it aren’t you relieved She wears her crazy on the outside Woah… I’m glad it ain’t me Woah… Thank God it ain’t me Woah… Aren’t you glad it ain’t me

You keep sayin', you've got somethin' for me Somethin' you call love, but confess You've been a-messin' where you shouldn't have been a-messin' And now someone else is gettin' all your best These boots are made for walkin' And that's just what they'll do, One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin' And you keep losin' when you oughta not bet You keep samein' when you ought to be a-changin' Now what's right is right but you ain't been right yet These boots are made for walkin' And that's just what they'll do One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you You keep playin' where you shouldn't be playin' And you keep thinkin' that you'll never get burned I just found me a brand-new box of matches And what he knows you ain't had time to learn These boots are made for walkin' And that's just what they'll do, One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you Are you ready boots? ... Start walkin'

There is a long stretch of nothin’ Before something comes along I got a dream and some old pair of jeans My six string and a song When I hit the ground It won’t keep me down It doesn’t matter how long it takes I know there’s a chance my heart could break But I believe I’ll see this through to the end It’s not a matter of if it’s a matter of when Cheap hotels and you work like hell In some unforgiving dive County fairs or where no one’s out there On stage I come alive See that billboard sign Someday the name up there will be mine It doesn’t matter how long it takes I know there’s a chance my heart could break But I believe I’ll see this through to the end It’s not a matter of if it’s a matter of when I’m gonna hit the big time I’m gonna enjoy the ride It doesn’t matter how long it takes I know there’s a chance my heart could break But I believe I’ll see this through to the end It’s not a matter of if, no It’s not a matter of if, no It’s not a matter of if it’s a matter of when
