Maddie & Tae - Start Here Album Lyrics

Waitin' On A Plane

Rain, you ain't gonna slow me down
Pain, you can have this haunted town
Me and my pride are gettin' the hell on out

'Cause it's my time to paint a little streak on a blue sky,
Spread my wings and take flight, find mine,
Settin' my sights on a brand new life
Get gone, leave it all behind, and move on
Ain't fast enough, even in the fast lane
So I'm waitin' on a plane
Waitin' on a plane

I've got my name on a first-class window seat
I want my heart to see
That there ain't no shame, reaching out for the next dream
Any time they're sittin' there waitin' on me

'Cause it's my time to paint a little streak on a blue sky,
Spread my wings and take flight, find mine,
Settin' my sights on a brand new life
Get gone, leave it all behind, and move on
Ain't fast enough, even in the fast lane
So I'm waitin' on a plane

Yeah, I know getting out of here is gonna fix it
(I know getting out of here is gonna fix it)
All I'm gonna need is a one-way ticket
(All I'm gonna need is a one-way ticket)

Waitin' on a plane
Waitin' on a plane

'Cause it's my time to paint a little streak on a blue sky,
Spread my wings and take flight, find mine,
Settin' my sights on a brand new life
Get gone, leave it all behind, and move on
Ain't fast enough, even in the fast lane
So, I'm sittin' right here at 7 a.m.
Waitin' on a plane
Waitin' on a plane

I'm on my way
I'm gonna be okay
I'm waitin' on a plane

Girl In A Country Song

("No country music was harmed in the making of this song, this is only a test-t-t")

Well I wish I had some shoes on my two bare feet
And it's gettin' kinda cold in these painted on cut off jeans
I hate the way this bikini top chafes
Do I really have to wear it all day? (Yeah baby)

I hear you over there on your tailgate whistlin' [*whistle*]
Sayin', "Hey girl"
But you know I ain't listenin'
Cause I got a name
And to you it ain't "pretty little thing", "honey" or "baby"
Yeah it's drivin' me red-red-red-red-red-red-red neck crazy

[Chorus:]
Bein' the girl in a country song
How in the world did it go so wrong?
Like all we're good for
Is looking good for you and your friends on the weekend
Nothing more
We used to get a little respect
Now we're lucky if we even get
To climb up in your truck, keep my mouth shut and ride along
And be the girl in a country song

Well shakin' my moneymaker ain't ever made me a dime
And there ain't no sugar for you in this shaker of mine
Tell me one more time, "you gotta get you some of that"
Sure I'll slide on over, but you're gonna get slapped (Hah!)
These days it ain't easy being that

[Chorus:]
Girl in a country song
How in the world did it go so wrong?
Like all we're good for
Is looking good for you and your friends on the weekend
Nothing more
We used to get a little respect
Now we're lucky if we even get
To climb up in your truck, keep my mouth shut and ride along
And be the girl in a country song (Yeah, yeah baby)

Aww no, Conway and George Strait
Never did it this way
Back in the old days
Aww y'all, we ain't a cliché
That ain't no way
To treat a lady

[Chorus:]
Like a girl in a country song
How in the world did it go so wrong?
Like all we're good for
Is looking good for you and your friends on the weekend
Nothing more
We used to get a little respect
Now we're lucky if we even get
To climb up in your truck, keep my mouth shut and ride along
Down some old dirt road we don't even wanna be on
And be the girl in a country song

("Yeah baby, I ain't your tan legged Juliet. Can I put on some real clothes now?")

Aww, no

Smoke

Wanna know who burned you so bad
Left your heart in ashes on the ground
Made you promises, took 'em right back
Left you cold and alone, now all you know is the sound

Of goodbye
You won't let anyone inside

Baby, you're just like smoke, blowing on the wind
One minute, you're by my side and then you're gone again
You might be bad for me, but I just wanna breathe you in
Every time I reach out, I find there ain't nothing to hold
Boy, you're just like smoke

We can start out slow like an ember
Get the fire burning back behind your eyes
I wanna feel you when we're together
So, whatever you do, baby, don't disappear

This time
Don't fade into the grey tonight

Baby, you're just like smoke, blowing on the wind
One minute, you're by my side and then you're gone again
You might be bad for me, but I just wanna breathe you in
Every time I reach out, I find there ain't nothing to hold
Boy, you're just like smoke

Smoke
Smoke
Yeah

Baby, you're just like smoke, blowing on the wind
One minute, you're by my side and then you're gone again
You might be bad for me, but I just wanna breathe you in
Every time I reach out, I find there ain't nothing to hold
Boy, you're just like smoke

Boy, you're just like smoke, yeah

Shut Up And Fish

He pulled up in a red Corvette
Salmon shorts and a white v-neck
I said wow you know how to dress down for a city guy

So we headed out to a spot on the lake
Couple zip poles and a couple a bait
I could tell pretty fast he had more than just bass on his mind

Oh I was fishing he was wishing
We were kissing I was getting
Madder than a hornet in an old coke can
Getting closer sliding over
Crowding up my casting shoulder
Trying to reach out and hold my reeling hand
Saying I'm pretty saying he's in love
And how it don't get any better than this

I say yeah it could
Boy if you would
Shut up and fish

For a little while he calmed down and let up
But then he went right back to pushing his luck
That line of mine ain't all I wanted to throw in oh no

I was fishing he was wishing
We were kissing I was getting
Madder than a hornet in an old coke can
Getting closer sliding over
Crowding up my casting shoulder
Trying to reach out and hold my reeling hand
Saying I'm pretty saying he's in love
And how it don't get any better than this

I said yeah it could
Boy if you would
Shut up and fish

I finally had all of him that I could take
So I gave him a cold shower in the lake

What can I say?

I was fishing he was wishing
We were kissing I was getting
Madder than a hornet in an old coke can
Getting closer sliding over
Playing captain Casanova
[Alternative version:] Crowding up my casting shoulder
Trying to reach out and hold my reeling hand
Saying I'm pretty saying he's in love
And how it don't get any better than this

I said yeah it could
Boy if you would
Shut up and fish

Just a little push
Cause he couldn't just
Shut up and fish

Fly

Baby blue staring in the window pane
Just counting drops of rain
Wondering if she's got the guts to take it
Running down her dreams in a dirty dress,
Now her heart's a mess
Praying she'll find a way to make it

So keep on climbing, though the ground might shake
Just keep on reaching though the limb might break
We've come this far, don't you be scared now
Cause you can learn to fly on the way down

Searching for a sign in the night even like a lonely string of lights
That'll burn just long enough for you to see it
The road's been long and lonely and you feel like giving up
There's more to this than just the breath you're breathing

So keep on climbing, though the ground might shake
Just keep on reaching though the limb might break
We've come this far, don't you be scared now
Cause you can learn to fly on the way down

On the way down

You won't forget the heavy steps it took to let it go
Close your eyes, count to ten, hold your breath and fly

Keep on climbing, though the ground might shake
Just keep on reaching though the limb might break
We've come this far, don't you be scared now
Cause you can learn to fly on the way down

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Fly
Fly

Sierra

I wish I had something nice to say
About that girl and her million-dollar face
But beauty only gets you so far

A heart of pure gold is something very rare
And the only one she has is on that necklace that she wears
Acts like she's some kind of movie star

Ooh, it might be not be Christian
To be wishing what I'm wishing

Sierra, Sierra
Girl, let me tell ya
One day, you might need those friends that you ditched
Sierra, Sierra
Life ain't all tiaras
You're gonna find out that karma's a.....

To tell the truth, I ain't even mad
'Cause I know the universe is gonna get you back
All I have to do is bide my time

Ooh, I hope that I'm around when
You get knocked up or knocked down

Sierra, Sierra
Girl, let me tell ya
You can't break boys' hearts like you're flipping a switch
Sierra, Sierra
Life ain't all tiaras
You're gonna find out that karma's a.....

Big pain in the.....as far as I can tell
Yours is adding up fast
Sierra

Sierra, Sierra
Girl, let me tell ya
That high horse you're riding can buck you off quick
Sierra, Sierra
Life ain't all tiaras
You're gonna find out that karma's a.....

Pardon my French, but karma's a
(mhmmmm)

Your Side of Town

You better stay, stay on your side of town
'Cause I'm done, done with all this breaking down
One last time you're gonna hear me out
You better stay, stay on your side of town
Don't want your headlights on my road
Door to my heart is closed
If you can hear that train running down those tracks
You're way too close

There's a no-trespass sign on the county line and it reads your name
You better just pretend there's a barbwire fence and a barricade
Stay on your side of town, stay on your side of town
Stay off my stomping ground, stay on your side of... town

Ain't got no time, time for your apologies
I tore your page out of my biography
You'll never do again what you did to me
Ain't got no time, time for your apologies
This place ain't big enough, baby, for the both of us
You had your chance to have my love and screwed it up

There's a no-trespass sign on the county line and it reads your name
You better just pretend there's a barbwire fence and a barricade
Stay on your side of town, stay on your side of town
Stay off my stomping ground, stay on your side of... town

Don't want your headlights on my road
Door to my heart is closed
If you can hear that train running down those tracks
You're way too close

There's a no-trespass sign on the county line and it reads your name
You better just pretend there's a barbwire fence and a barricade
Stay on your side of town, stay on your side of town
Stay off my stomping ground, stay on your, stay on your...
Stay on your side of town, stay on your side of town
Stay off my stomping ground, stay on your side of town

Right Here, Right Now

Stop thinking about it, been dancing all around it
Standing here at my door
And I know you want to and I know I want you
So whatchu waiting for?

'Cause I got a feeling and I think you're feeling it, too
Go on and steal it, my heart's ready for you

Yeah, I see you lean in, kiss me like you mean it
Don't just say goodnight
Standing face to face is just too good to waste
Go on and close your eyes
And put your lips on mine, there ain't no better time
Than right here, right now tonight

No reason to be shy, you don't even need to try
You had me from hello
You've got the chance, now take it, it's your move for making
Don't let this moment go

'Cause I got a feeling and I think you're feeling it, too
Go on and steal it, my heart's ready for you

Yeah, I see you lean in, kiss me like you mean it
Don't just say goodnight
Standing face to face is just too good to waste
Go on and close your eyes
And put your lips on mine, there ain't no better time
Than right here, right now tonight

Right here tonight

I got a feeling and I think you're feeling it, too
Go on and steal it, my heart's ready for you

Yeah, I see you lean in, kiss me like you mean it
Don't just say goodnight
Standing face to face is just too good to waste
Go on and close your eyes
And put your lips on mine, there ain't no better time
Than right here, right now tonight

Right here, right now tonight

No Place Like You

California cherry cola, sandy skies in Arizona
Smoky mountain blowin' through Tennessee
Oklahoma sweet magnolia, Kansas over my right shoulder
Bending strings down in New Orleans

Everywhere I go, I see your smile
I wish I could see yours once in a while

The sun comes up and it sinks back down
On every five-star dream in every two-star town
There's a lot to see from a wishing view
But sometimes, I wish I could close my eyes and click my shoes
'Cause there's no place like you
No place like you
No place like you

Killing time in Texarkana, rolling tide in Alabama
The closer that I get, you're still too far
So half a dozen tanks of gas, fighting traffic getting back
I'd trade a first-class seat in for your arms

The sun comes up and it sinks back down
On every five-star dream in every two-star town
There's a lot to see from a wishing view
But sometimes, I wish I could close my eyes and click my shoes
'Cause there's no place like you
No place like you
No place like you

Everywhere I go, I see your smile
I wish I could see yours once in a while

The sun comes up and it sinks back down
On every five-star dream in every two-star town
There's a lot to see from a wishing view
But sometimes, I wish I could close my eyes and click my shoes
'Cause there's no place like you
No place like you
No place like you

Yeah, there's no place like you
No place like you
No place like you

After The Storm Blows Through

You've been walking around with a dark cloud
Hanging over every step you take
Like the slightest breeze will knock you to your knees
Doing your best not to break
Wish I had the words to tell ya, but I got an umbrella
And I think it's big enough, for the both of us

I'll face that wind by your side
Even take on that rain, I don't mind,
Or give you space or give you time,
If you need me to,
But I'll be here for you
After the storm blows through

You know, you and me, we've been thick as thieves
You get cut I feel the pain
We're stuck together, no matter what the weather
And that ain't gonna change
I don't know how long the hurt'll hold on
Or when the sun will shine again
So until then...

I'll face that wind by your side
Even take on that rain, I don't mind,
Or give you space or give you time,
If you need me to,
But I'll be here for you
After the storm blows through
And your skies are blue again
And you're back to you again, my friend

I'll face that wind by your side
Even take on that rain, I don't mind,
Or give you space or give you time,
If you need me to,
But I'll be here for you
After the storm blows through

Downside Of Growing Up

Pack your bags and hug your mom
Been dreaming about leaving for so long
You start to cry as you crank the truck
Yeah, that's the downside of growing up

Fixin' up your brand new place
First day in and something breaks
Your dad ain't there to get you unstuck
Yeah, that's the downside of growing up

That's alright, that's okay
It's just the way you find your way
It's the road you gotta take to get where you're going
You're gonna twist, you're gonna turn
But it's how you're gonna learn
A lot about life, a lot about love
On the downside of growing up

It starts out as a simple date
Before too long, he's your everything
'Til he leaves you standing in a cloud of dust
Yeah, that's the downside of growing up

That's alright, that's okay
It's just the way you find your way
It's the road you gotta take to get where you're going
You're gonna twist, you're gonna turn
But it's how you're gonna learn
A lot about life, a lot about love
On the downside of growing up

I know what you're feeling
Yeah, I understand
'Cause where you are is where I've been
And where I still am

And I'm alright, I'm okay
Yeah, I know I'll find my way
On the road I gotta take to get where I'm going
I'm gonna twist, I'm gonna turn
But it's how you're gonna turn
A lot about life, a lot about love
On the downside of growing up

A lot about life, a lot about love
On the downside of growing up
