Lucy Hale - Road Between Album Lyrics

---

You Sound Good To Me

The full moon
Is shining like a spotlight
I could just sit and listen to you talkin' all night
When you whisper
Yeah, baby, when you lean in
I get a crazy, crazy good kind of feelin'

It's like Amen from the back of the choir
Sweet home of freedom underneath the tires
Kicked back sittin' by a cracklin' fire
Strumming them guitar strings
And like an old song on the radio
That you grew up to and everybody knows
Rushin' of the water when the river rolls
Winding wild and free

Baby, you sound good to me
Baby, you sound so good to me
Mm-m-mm like a melody
Baby, you sound good to me

Tell me
All of your stories
And don't you leave nothin' out 'cause baby, I ain't in a hurry
Every little thing you say
Got a real nice ring to it
The way it rolls off your lips
And oh, when you give me that kiss

It's like Amen from the back of the choir
Sweet home of freedom underneath the tires
Kicked back sittin' by a cracklin' fire
Strumming them guitar strings
Like an old song on the radio
That you grew up to and everybody knows
Rushin' of the water when the river rolls
Winding wild and free

Baby, you sound good to me
Baby, you sound so good to me
Mm-m-mm like a melody
Baby, you sound good to me

Baby, you sound good to me
Baby, you sound so good to me
Mm-m-mm like a melody
Baby, mm-mm

Like an Amen from the back of the choir
Sweet home of freedom underneath the tires
Kicked back sittin' by a cracklin' fire
Strumming them guitar strings
Like an old song on the radio
That you grew up to and everybody knows
Rushin' of the water when the river rolls
Winding wild and free

Baby, you sound good to me
Baby, you sound so good to me
Mm-m-mm like a melody
Baby, you sound good (sound so good)

Baby, you sound good to me (sound so good)
Baby, you sound so good to me (sound so good)
Mm-m-mm like a melody
Baby, you sound good to me.

From The Backseat

You were burning in a '94 Corolla,
3 hours deep in the South Dakota
I was workin' on a luke warm Coca-Cola
In the dog days of July

And my dad was a Superman stick shift driver,
Stay at home Louis Lane beside him
Kissing to the rhythm of the billboard signs
As they went blurring by
Even when he would stop to pull over,
He never took his hand off of her shoulder

You can see for miles
You can reach the dials,
Sit back and smile from the front seat
You can chase the sun
You can feel the hum of the axles underneath your feet
When you're sitting shotgun,
You seem pretty and free
But you learn to love from the backseat,

So late one day and I'm rolling along,
With a part time job
And blue pom-poms,
Like every days a knock off mellowcamp song
With his hand right on my knee,

We made the age old prom-night promise
Put the corsage right where I want it
We found a road with nobody on it
And we didn't stop to think,

And I didn't care when he killed the motor,
Shut off the lights and we climbed over,

You can see for miles
You can reach the dials,
Sit back and smile from the front seat
You can chase the sun
You can feel the hum of the axles underneath your feet
When you're sitting shotgun,
You seem pretty and free
But you learn to love from the back seat

Up here I see it clear through the rear-view
It's good to take the back seat
When you get to

You can see for miles
You can reach the dials,
Sit back and smile from the front seat
You can chase the sun
You can feel the hum of the axles underneath your feet
When you're sitting shotgun,
You seem pretty and free

But you learn to love

You can see for miles
You can reach the dials,
Sit back and smile from the front seat
You can chase the sun
You can feel the hum of the axles underneath your feet
When you're sitting shotgun,
You seem pretty and free
But you learn to love from the back seat

We were burning in a '94 Corolla
Three hours deep in the South Dakota
I was working on a luke warm Coca-Cola

Nervous Girls

I'm that girl you think that's got it figured out.
But I walk around, with a head full of doubt.
The cruelest words about me, come from my own mouth - la da de, la de da.
Yeah I'm that girl, who wants what I ain't got who looks in the mirror, and sees all that I'm not.
Wish I could jump off that reckless train of thought - la da de, la de da.
Well it's a cruel, cruel world.

For Collie and her golden, home-coming crown.
For Penny's dirty secret getting spread all over town.
For Hanna and her skinny jeans, so damn scared to eat.

Well the DJ haunts the halls,
And the boys they never call,
And I guess we're all the same after all.
Nervous girls.

Well I'm that girl who gave my heart up,
Got close to picture perfect, or at least close enough to watch the pieces scatter, them pick 'em all up.
La da de, la de da.

Oh but I still believe in love.

For Heather waiting tables, tryna pick up from the past.
For Jenny with that diamond ring and a vow that didn't last.
For Alice turning thirty, lookin through that lookin glass.

Well the DJ haunts the halls,
And the boys they never call,
And I guess we're all the same after all.
Nervous girls.

Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo

I'm scared and I'm brave, or somewhere between the two.
I'm beautifully strong, and tragically confused.
Yeah I'm that girl, that's just like you.

Well the DJ haunts the halls,
And when the boys finally call...
We're not sure that we want 'em after all.

Nervous girls, nervous girls, nervous girls, nervous girls.

Red Dress

[Lucy:]
If I close my eyes, and Imagine you are here.
It'll last for awhile, before you disappear.
So I close my eyes, cause the only thing I fear
Is waking up one day, forgetting you were ever here

[Joe:]
Darling, It's you I remember with your Red Dress on,
Dancing in the moonlight till the break of dawn.
It's you I remember dancing with your Red Dress on

[Lucy:]
And Baby it's you I remember when I hear that song,
Singin' out the chorus till your voice was gone
It's you I remember every time I hear that song

[Joe:]
Not a day goes by,without thinking that I see,
your face in the crowd, turning away from me
So the days go by, like a recurring dream
Where every night ends with the same old memory

[Lucy:]
And Baby it's you I remember when I hear that song,
Singin' out the chorus till your voice was gone
It's you I remember every time I hear that song

[Joe:]
Darling, It's you I remember with your Red Dress on,
Dancing in the moonlight till the break of dawn.
It's you I remember dancing with your Red Dress on
Dancing with your Red Dress on

I don't know the game were playing,
You and I were on to something
How did we fall apart,without asking ourselves why?

[Lucy:]
Lookin' back I can't help thinkin'
That some where I had just stopped runnin'
I would have held you close, and never said goodbye.

[Joe:]
Darling, It's you I remember with your Red Dress on,
Dancing in the moonlight till the break of dawn.
It's you I remember dancing with your Red Dress on

[Lucy:]
And Baby it's you I remember when I hear that song,
Singin' out the chorus till your voice was gone
It's you I remember every time I hear that song

[Joe:]
Darling, It's you I remember with your Red Dress on,
Dancing in the moonlight till the break of dawn.
It's you I remember dancing with your Red Dress on

[Lucy:]
And Baby it's you I remember when I hear that song,
Singin' out the chorus till your voice was gone
It's you I remember every time I hear that song

[Joe:]
Dancing with your red dress on

[Lucy:]
Woah

[Joe:]
Dancing with your red dress on.

Getting out of here to get my happy back.

Counting your lies like I'm counting sheep.

I'm crossing your name right off of my list.

Kiss Me

You walk in and act so surprised
Even though every Friday night I'm here
You know I'm here

You talk to some girl
I dance with some guy
Catch each other's eye and we pretend
Like we don't care

But I know you know I know
We ain't really lettin' things go, no

You leave here and you drive home
You take a turn down my road
I watch you through my window and hide so you can't see
Don't you know I want you with me
And it ain't just cause I'm tipsy
You can act like it's all over
And you don't miss me
Or you could just kiss me

Kiss me, kiss me, yeah

We talked and talked and talked some more
Over thought this thing right out the door
Well I don't wanna talk no more

Who we kidding?
Why we pretending?
Wish you'd just go on and lean in now
What are you waiting for?

So either tell me I'm insane
Or let's call off these crazy games

You leave here and you drive home
You take a turn down my road
I watch you through my window and hide so you can't see
Don't you know I want you with me
And it ain't just cause I'm tipsy
You can act like it's all over
And you don't miss me
Or you could just kiss me

Kiss me like the first time
Leave your lips on mine
I can't remember why
We ever said goodbye

You leave here and you drive home
But baby I know where you wanna go

You leave here and you drive home
You take a turn down my road
I watch you through my window and hide so you can't see
Don't you know I want you with me
And it ain't just cause I'm tipsy
You can act like it's all over
And you don't miss me
Or you could just kiss me

You could just kiss me

You could just kiss me

Road Between

I don't have any answers
I'm not short on questions anymore
Still choosing lost causes,
Defending battles and hopeless wars

With the right heart
Wrong decision
Keeps you blinded
Tunnel vision
Oh the road to
Love is paved with good intentions

And I'm still getting to the good part
The breaking down
Learning how to write my story
And I'm in the middle of the madness
The living loose
Finding who I'm gonna be
From the start til the end
I'm still learning the road between

I'm gonna need to borrow patience
A shot of courage for letting go
Rent a little wisdom
Until I can afford my own

With the right heart
Wrong decision
Going slower
Tunnel vision
Oh the road to
Love is paved with good intentions

And I'm still getting to the good part
The breaking down
Learning how to write my story
And I'm in the middle of the madness
The living loose
Finding who I'm gonna be
From the start til the end
I'm still learning the road between

And I know it ain't gonna be easy, no
But I'm a fighter and you can't take that from me, no
This is just a page in the chapter I'm in

And I'm still getting to the good part
The breaking down
Learning how to write my story

And I'm in the middle of the madness
The living loose
Finding who I'm gonna be
From the places I've been
To wherever I'll go
From the start til the end
I'm still learning the road between

Lie A Little Better

I just missed my exit
Last night I lost my keys
I'm fumbling over the words I
Don't feel a bit like me these days

I would be a liar if I said I was fine
But I cant help being honest
And I know now is not the time
Cuz

The truth is I'm fallin to pieces
Anytime that you're around
Trouble is the truth keeps slippin out

Cant seem to hide what I'm feelin
Cant believe what I'm sayin out loud
Truth is theres no turnin back now
I guess I shoulda learned how to lie a little better

Been trying to cover
This heart out on my sleeve
Been set on playing this down but
I think your catchin on to me

The truth is I'm fallin to pieces
Anytime that you're around
Trouble is the truth keeps slippin out

Cant seem to hide what I'm feelin
Cant believe what I'm sayin out loud
Truth is theres no turnin back now
Well, I guess I shoulda learned how to lie a little better

I'm losing this battle
With every word I say
Wish I had a better lesson
Of not givin myself away
Cuz

The truth is I'm fallin to pieces
Anytime that you're around
Trouble is the truth keeps slippin out

Cant seem to hide what I'm feelin
Cant believe what I'm sayin out loud
Truth is theres no turnin back now
Well, I guess I shoulda learned how to lie a little better

That's What I Call Crazy

It was 4 a.m., I couldn't sleep
So I did my hair and I fixed a drink
Sat on the porch with my guitar
Sang about how you broke my heart
Singing "la la la la la la"

I went and tore your pictures up
Built a fire in my bathtub
Painted my toes while I watched them burn
Then put out the flames with your t-shirt

If you think that sounds crazy, then you should've seen me
Sitting by the phone, all those nights alone
Believing lies you told me, thinking I'm your only
Putting off my friends to be with you again
Forgiving when you say "I love you, baby"
That's what I call crazy

If the neighbor looked through my windowpane
He'd say she's finally gone insane
All the things I do around this old house
Like cussing your name, screaming out loud
My bedroom wall's got a hole in it now

If you think that sounds crazy, then you should've seen me
Sitting by the phone, all those nights alone
Believing lies you told me, thinking I'm your only
Putting off my friends to be with you again
Forgiving when you say "I love you, baby"
That's what I call crazy

I've been seeing red since you said goodbye
I might break a thing or two sometimes

If you think that sounds crazy, then you should've seen me
Sitting by the phone, all those nights alone
Believing lies you told me, thinking I'm your only
Putting off my friends to be with you again
Forgiving when you say "I love you, baby"
That's what I call crazy

That's what I call crazy, yeah
That's what I call crazy, oh
That's what I call crazy

Love Tonight

I kind of like the way you smile
And maybe that is all I need to know about you right now
Imagination running wild

We can make this whatever we want it,
Whoa-oh oh-oh
Whatever you're selling, I've already bought it,
Whoa-oh oh-oh

Whatever this is
Oh, baby, let's not chase it
It's only a kiss
Oh, we don't have to complicate it
Don't stop now, it's already started
Whatever you're doing, don't slow it down
There's nothing wrong with a little bitty white lie
Let's call it love tonight

Let's call it love tonight

I like your hands around my waist
I don't know what you whispered in my ear, but it sounded so good
What do you say we get out of this place?

This could be one of those "should've known better"
Whoa-oh oh-oh
But I bet I don't wake up wishing I'd never
Never, ever

Whatever this is
Oh, baby, let's not chase it
It's only a kiss
Oh, we don't have to complicate it
Don't stop now, it's already started
Whatever you're doing, don't slow it down
There's nothing wrong with a little bitty white lie
Let's call it love tonight

Let's call it love tonight
Oh

Let's call it love tonight

Oh, whatever this is
Oh, baby, let's not chase it
It's only a kiss
Oh, we don't have to complicate it
Oh, don't stop now, it's already started
Whatever you're doing, don't slow it down
There's nothing wrong with a little bitty white lie
Let's call it love tonight

Let's call it love tonight

Oh, oh, oh

Let's call it love tonight

Just Another Song

It's a good day, good cup of coffee to drink
It's a good day, no dishes piled up in the sink
I'm a long way from the place I used to be
It's a good day

Oh, teardrops have gone
Oh, then I hear that song

It takes me to me and you
Black and white movie I made you watch, then we kissed
Oh, I knew I was falling for you and oh, when it's on the radio
That's when it hits me, you're gone
Maybe to you, it's probably just another song

But to me, it's a bullet out of a gun
Yeah, to me, it's a knife and a damn rusty one
It's the floodgated memories I don't want to feel
Oh, it's all just a little too real

Oh, just when the teardrops have gone
Oh, why do I hear that heartbreaking, take-me-back song?

It takes me to me and you
'45 spinning, I made you dance, then we kissed
Oh, I knew I was falling for you and oh, when it's on the radio
That's when it hits me, you're gone
Maybe to you, it's probably just another song

Maybe to you, it's probably just another song
Maybe to you

It takes me to me and you,
Under the street light, you said goodbye, then we kissed
Oh, I knew I was falling into pieces, oh, when it's on the radio
That's when it hits me, you're gone
Maybe to you, it's probably just another song

Maybe to you, it's probably just another song
Maybe to you, it's just a good day

My Little Black Wedding Dress

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

It's been a while since I've reached for that wedding dress
The one I always liked to wear, a girl's just gotta look her best
It's a timeless classic, basic cut
Some things just stay in style
Perfect for that special day and it looks so good going down the aisle
I'm ushered in, I take my place on the bride's side of the church

And it fits me like a glove, holds me just tight enough
It's nothing new, but it still turns heads
My little black wedding dress
My little black wedding dress

It's been dry-cleaned for tears of joy and a champagne toast or two
Posed for pictures and never missed a dance with the best man and the groom
The organ starts, no wedding march
We stand and spin around

And it fits me like a glove, holds me just tight enough
It's nothing new, but it still turns heads
My little black wedding dress
My little black wedding dress

Wish I'd never bought it as I'm hanging it in the closet
What I wouldn't give tonight to trade it in for one that's white

And fits me like a glove, holds me just tight enough
But until then, it's just me, I guess
And my little black wedding dress
My little black wedding dress

Feels Like Home

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

Ten years old, hair running wild
Dirt on my face and a naughty smile
I was so in love with the place that I called home

Fourteen, growing up fast
Chasing boys and skipping class
No boy daring them to kiss me back, scared down to the bone
'Cause there's

No one that I gotta be, it all comes down to the simple things
It feels like home and family, my feet in the red clay
My heart runs like the Mississippi, all the way back from the big city
When the sun goes down at the end of the day, nowhere else can make me feel this way
It feels like home
It feels like home
It feels like home
It feels like home
Feels like home

Sixteen on a jet plane
Yeah, nothing's ever gonna be the same
Way out here, it don't even rain
In the city of angels

Even though I like it here
I get scared that I'll disappear
So lose my eyes, start clicking my heels
I remember how it feels
When there's

No one that I gotta be, it all comes down to the simple things
It feels like home and family, my feet in the red clay
My heart runs like the Mississippi, all the way back from the big city
And when the sun goes down at the end of the day,
Nowhere else can make me feel this way
It feels like home
It feels like home
It feels like home
It feels like home
Feels like home

It's where I learned to drive back when I was thirteen
My dad gave me the wheel then said, "Give it back to me."
Summer days down in one grown old lake
We were thinking we were cool like '96 in the shade
Telling secrets in the southern moonlight,
The way my mom said it's alright to roam,
But this is home

No one that I gotta be, it all comes down to the simple things
It feels like home and family, my feet in the red clay
My heart runs like the Mississippi, all the way back from the big city
And when the sun goes down at the end of the day, nowhere else can make me feel this way
It feels like home
It feels like home
It feels like home
It feels like home
Feels like home

Loved

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

I don't need a hundred roses waiting by the front door
I don't need a fancy house in the hills
You could rope the moon and bring me all the stars in heaven
It won't change how I feel

You don't have to be a modern-day Shakespeare
You don't have to be anything you're not
You don't have to give me diamonds to impress me
Just give me your heart

Make me feel loved, make me feel beautiful
Make me feel dance-around-the-room, Cinderella kind of magical
Make me believe I'm all that you'll ever need
Hold me close and make me feel a million kinds of wonderful
Baby, your touch, it's more than enough
Make me feel loved

It's the way you bring me coffee in the morning
And how you know just what not to say
I don't need you to try and fix everything
When I've had a bad day

Make me feel loved, make me feel beautiful
Make me feel dance-around-the-room, Cinderella kind of magical
Make me believe I'm all that you'll ever need
Hold me close and make me feel a million kinds of wonderful
Baby, your touch, it's more than enough
Make me feel loved

Make me feel loved, make me feel beautiful
Make me feel dance-around-the-room, Cinderella kind of magical
Make me believe I'm all that you'll ever need
Hold me close and make me feel a million kinds of wonderful
Baby, your touch, it's more than enough
Make me feel loved

Runaway Circus

(Target Exclusive Bonus Track)

We thought we were the greatest show on earth
Two kids running around kicking up dirt
Falling, flying, big top loving in a little old town
When you're high-wire walking, don't you dare look down
And tease the lions

Oh, you toss love around like a juggling act
Oh, you put your heart in a cannon and you didn't look back
Just when I thought I had heaven one day
Just like that heaven was packed and gone away
All you left was a field of dust, you runaway circus

You talked me into a ticket for two,
Played with my heart for a grandstand view
But the star attraction was smoke and magic

Oh, you toss love around like a juggling act
Oh, you put your heart in a cannon and you didn't look back
Just when I thought I had heaven one day
Just like that heaven was packed and gone away
All you left was a field of dust, you runaway circus

You runaway circus

Oh
Oh

Oh, you toss love around like a juggling act
Oh, you put your heart in a cannon and you didn't look back
Just when I thought I had heaven one day
Just like that heaven was packed and gone away
All you left was a field of dust, you runaway circus

You runaway circus
You runaway circus

Those 3 Words

(Target Exclusive Bonus Track)

Two a.m. and the phone starts ringin'
You didn't know you didn't mean to keep me waitin'
Maybe a little part of me is still tryin' to believe
You mean it when you say it
But, let's not complicate it with

Those three words ain't gonna make it right this time
Those three words won't keep me up another night
Makin' up is not enough, when you keep makin' up new ways to make it hurt
You can't fix it with those three words

You pull that line like a parachute
Like it'll save you from the stupid things you do
Maybe I was always there to catch you, maybe I would care
If you cared at all
I'd be waiting there to fall for

Those three words ain't gonna make it right this time
Those three words won't keep me up another night
Makin' up is not enough, when you keep makin' up new ways to make it hurt
You can't fix it with those three words

Those three words used to be mean everything
But those three words, now they don't mean anything

Those three words ain't gonna make it right this time
Those three words won't keep me up another night
Makin' up is not enough, when you keep makin' up new ways to make it hurt
You can't fix it with those three words

Those three words ain't gonna make it right this time
Those three words won't keep me up another night
Makin' up is not enough, when you keep makin' up new ways to make it hurt
You can't fix it with those three words

Those three words
Those three words

Come On

(Walmart Exclusive Bonus Track)

Sitting there smiling, curled on the couch
Sunday morning going down
Rain pouring from the sky, it's the only sound
There's a question in your eyes you don't have to ask
Cause you know the answer is yes every single time
Whatever time it is

Don't let this slip away
Whatcha say?

Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby
I wanna go where you wanna take me
Wrapped up in you wrapped up in me crazy
Come on, come on
Take on and twist it all up in us
Every little kiss, every little touch
We can't get there fast enough
So come on, come on, come on

Oh, there's something about a storm that stirs me up
I can feel it moving in all around us
Dancing in the air, can you feel that rush?
Oh, listen, baby, listen to the rhythm of the rain
There ain't nothing more to say, but

Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby
I wanna go where you wanna take me
Wrapped up in you wrapped up in me crazy
Come on, come on
Take on and twist it all up in us
Every little kiss, every little touch
We can't get there fast enough
So come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby
I wanna go where you wanna take me

Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby
I wanna go where you wanna take me
Wrapped up in you wrapped up in me crazy
Come on, come on
Take on and twist it all up in us
Every little kiss, every little touch
We can't get there fast enough
So come on, come on, come on
