There Was a Town
Shanna Underwood
There was a town
It started small
Smelled like saltwater and smoke in the fall
But folks move around
And now its grown
They weren't lying when they said you can't go home
You can never go home
You can't love a town for what you want it to be
You've got to love that town for what it is
And find a little happiness
There was a boy
He was kind and strong
In a young girl's eyes he could do no wrong
But folks move around
And now she's gone
Left for school, but this is till the only town he's known
Old mills and stone
You can't love a man for what you want him to be
You've got to love that man for what he is
And find a little happiness
There was a time
When we knew it all
Local news at five, the world's so small
But folks move around
They learn a thing or two
And start to wonder about what they thought was true
What they thought was true
You can't love a town for what you want it to
You got to love that town for what it is
And find a little happiness
There was a town
It started small
Smelled like saltwater and smoke in the fall
Folks move around
Now it's grown
They weren't lying when they said you can't go home
You can never go home - Track Name: Appalachia to the Himalayas

Appalachia to the Himalayas
Shanna Underwood
Sebago Lake in the summer time
Come on in, the water is fine
Don't be shy, take it all off
I'll tell you a secret after it gets dark
The leaves are on fire, they're starting to fall
When they blow away, it makes me feel so small
I light the wood left in the stove, the smell of smoke
Makes me feel less alone
From Appalachia to the Himalayas
I never met anyone like you
The cold north wind makes our lashes freeze
When the ocean smells like tears, it's hard to leave
Come on now hon, it's getting cold
I can drive, down the back road slow
From Appalachia to the Himalayas
I never met anyone like you
The snow is gone, it melts away old pain
Wash away the hurt with a cool June rain
If we could just climb up that mountain
Well I hear, there's a nice view
From Appalachia to the Himalayas
I never met anyone like you
Sebago Lake in the summer time
Come on in, the water is fine - Track Name: Venus Burns

Venus Burns
Shanna Underwood
I can see Venus in the sky tonight
She's burning up, she must know your touch
Keeps her distance, keeps an even pace
When the moon is full, even she can feel that pull
Will you hold me, just like an old friend
All through the night, all through the night
Come on and hold me, just like an old friend
All through the night, all through the night
The earth is turning, help me slow it down
I only make demands because I know you can
I don't mean to ask that much from you
Hell I don't mean to
But I'm sure I do
Will you hold me, just like an old friend
All through the night, all through the night
Come on and hold me, just like an old friend
All through the night, all through the night
Venus fades sometimes her light is dim
She spins around, no plans to settle down
Tonight she's dancing with the moon
Yeah they like to be free
Honey so do we
But
Will you hold me, just like an old friend
All through the night, all through the night
Come on and hold me, just like an old friend
All through the night, all through the night
Come on hold me just like that old friend
You used to love honey way back then
Come on hold, just like an old friend
All through the night - Track Name: Dusty Books

Is everyone asleep
Are you dreaming or aware
Will you seek the truth
Or sit with your hollow soul and stare
There must be more to life
Than what I'm seeing
What kind of power is held
In the pages of a few dusty books
There's a fire in this mind
Brighter than a burning house raging
But they'll burn these ashes down to ashes
When they find that I'm too far gone for saving
There must be more to life
Than what I'm seeing
What kind of power is held
In the pages of a few dusty books
Well I know someone's out there
Yeah, I know someone's watching me
But have they seen weeds grow into wonders
Or are they too afraid to see
That there must be more to life
Than what we're seeing
What kind of power is held
In the pages of a few dusty books - Track Name: Dream Next to Me

Dream Next to Me
Shanna Underwood
You tell me I'm wild
I'm just a little too much for your taste
Turn it back on yourself and that might be the case
We could ramble around and make a mess of this town
I'll pretend you don't know that I'll never settle down
Dream, next to me
Come one and dream next to me
It's been a long time since you've been love
And I don't make it easy, but it must be easy enough
I don't believe in much, but you believe in luck
As long the drive to move on still gives us a tug
Dream, next to me
Come one and dream next to me
We're like a wildfire that fell out of grace
Every once in a while we make a disgrace of ourselves
But we know we'll make it through
At least, I do
When we dream, when we dream
Come on and dream next to me - Track Name: Small City Walls

Small City Walls
Shanna Underwood
What you do when what's expected isn't what you want
What you do say when what's right isn't what you mean
What do you dream when it's always the same scene
Is it you, or is it just me
The walls have started talking again
Sometimes the truth is thicker than your skin
This town is so small, don't think I can handle it at all
Being alone isn't the same as being lonely
Take off the cover, unscrew the lid
It might be the real thing, except it never is
Whey bother wearing a mask when everybody knows who you are
Then again, something here needs to change
The walls have started talking again
Sometimes the truth is thicker than your skin
This town is so small, don't think I can handle it at all
Being alone isn't the same as being lonely
Boxes confines labels I don't think I'm able
I'm falling down
One mistake is all it takes
Before you hit the ground
The walls have started talking again
Sometimes the truth is thicker than my skin
This town is so small, don't think I can stand it at all
Being alone isn't the same as being lonely - Track Name: Picket Fences

Picket Fences
Shanna Underwood
If we're going to make this work out right
You're gonna make me cry, I'm gonna make you fight
If you think love doesn't hurt, you're fooling yourself
I want to go deeper than the American dream allows
A red rose is not what this is about
Chorus:
I want to live in the world not behind a white picket fence
I'm not afraid of change and I don't pretend to know what love is
I'm taking off today for someplace I've never been
I'm asking you, will you see me through
I need it to be real, not just for the show
I don't want to ever forget,
I don't want the weight of you to lift
You made me remember why, I do what I do
And I why I love people like you
Chorus
I won't work 9 to 5 with that kind of job I'm barely alive
Can you follow this girl around while she chases her dreams
I'll be on the road again soon, and I'd like to have you next to me
But I, I know how it is, It's not what we want it to be
Chorus - Track Name: Move Along

Move Along
Shanna Underwood
Hey, hey now I've got to move along
I know you're stuck there while I'm gone
Hey, hey now I'll think of you every day
I know I'll see you somewhere on the way
I, I could love you
If you let me
I, I could love you
If you let me
If you let me, I'd be strong with you
Hey, hey I know you're a dreamer too
Maybe that's why I like you
Sometimes when we're both asleep
I know in our dreams we meet
I, I could love you
If you let me
I, I could love you
If you let me
If you let me, I'd be strong with you
While I'm gone, you can do as you please
But please don't forget about me
I left a piece of my heart on the ground
So you know where I can be found
I, I could love you
If you let me
I, I could love you
If you let me
If you let me, I'd be strong with you
Hey, hey now I've got to move along
I know you're stuck there while I'm gone - Track Name: Willingly

Willingly
Shanna Underwood
There's a shore that's safe
We call it home
Water looks deep and cold, but there's a life out there I know
The siren of dreams is calling me
Saying jump on in
Somedays you just got to let it go
But my fingers getting torn baby busted and worn
Scraping at the shell of a dream
I get up in the morning and run
Cause I don't know how else to be
I may fall on the pavement
I may get rained on
But I'll walk into that ocean, willingly
There are some days you think you could be someone
Until you realize that you already were
What will you do today
To prove it to the world
A guitar pick in my hand means more than that piece of paper
But my fingers getting torn baby busted and worn
Scraping at the shell of a dream
I get up in the morning and run
Cause I don't know how else to be
I may fall on the pavement
I may get rained on
But I'll walk into that ocean, willingly
Does it hurt you less to have a head full of smoke
Than to really let it, oh let it seep on in
Is there something on your mind, that rolls around at night
I won't tell you what's good for you
'Cause you've been so good for me
And I think everything is gonna be okay
But my fingers getting torn baby busted and worn
Scraping at the shell of a dream
I get up in the morning and run
Cause I don't know how else to be
I may fall on the pavement
I may get rained on
But I'll walk into that ocean, willingly
My fingers getting torn baby busted and worn
Scraping at that shell of a dream
