I 'been shaking in my boots too long.

Lookin' out babe, how these boots are made, God made them for walking,
You know I couldn't help and stop when I heard, heard those people talking,
The Lord went for these lonely walks, now it won't be long till the hailstorm starts,
I don't wanna be here no more, what am I waiting for.

Lord, Lord, Lord don't let me down,
Lord, Lord, I'm on shaky ground.

Moving right along after the storm the dawn is drawing night,
My heart is breaking my legs are shaking, here comes another night,
The stars will soon be shining bright, got to get my head right,
It might be a long walk, you know I can't stop.

Lord, Lord, Lord don't let me down,
Lord, Lord, I'm on shaky ground.

Now I've walked for miles, feeling sanctified,
I was high when the skies turned blue at night,
I was just a little girl and every time my hair would curl,
Little boy blue he was a prince, he just walked by.

Lord, Lord, Lord don't let me down,
Lord, Lord, I'm on shaky ground.

ES:

estoy cansada y no lo entiendo
intento expresarlo con palabras
y al final salen bostezos

el miedo
de verme en un espejo
y disociar entre la imagen
y entre lo que en si proyecto

casi ni veo cine
desecho mis deseos
ya no hago lo que quiero
porque nunca tengo tiempo
y me lamento
y lo único pienso
es que me come la ciudad
y que me enreda el pelo el viento

pensé que amar sería suficiente
pero me siento sola y peleada con mi mente
no creo en mi talento como antes
no soy la que era antes
no soy suficiente
o soy demasiado grande
no soy nada fuerte
o es que tengo mucho aguante
no recuerdo nada lo que es sentirme bien
con el alma llena como un niño
que empieza a correr

pinto todo de color pastel para creer
que algún día la ternura me va a devolver
todo lo que el tedio y lo que el daño me han quitado
las horas de un sueño malgastado
pinto todo de color pastel para creer
que algún día la ternura me va a devolver
todo lo que el tedio y lo que el daño me han quitado
las horas de sueño que las noches me han robado
las horas de sueño que las noches me han robado
las horas de sueño que las noches me han robado

tal vez el camino equivocado
sea siempre el que me ha conquistado
ya tengo el enigma descifrado
el tiempo se pasa muy despacio

no busco na' de nadie
la suerte no me sobra pero siempre se comparte
escribo versos con punto y a parte
porque un punto y seguido implica motivos pa' seguir adelante
pero tranquilas que aquí mando yo
el agua limpia todo y últimamente está lloviendo un montón
no quiero sentir ni un remordimiento nunca más
la sensación que mas me pesa es la de recordar

algún día estaré bien lo puedo asegurar
sentirme a mí misma es suficiente pa' avanzar
igual que el pie que se siente a sí mismo al andar
igual que dos enamorados dentro de un maizal
escribo para mí y para reafirmar
que puede que algún día este cigarro se apague sin más
y no lo entenderás por no haber querido preguntar

ya no te sientas mal por mí me he cambiado de piel
a veces tu recuerdo incluso me sabe a miel
he estado imaginándome que es lo que quiero ser
y solo busco ser más gata que nunca y correr
y correr y correr y correr
y correr


pinto todo de color pastel para creer
que algún día la ternura me va a devolver
todo lo que el tedio y lo que el daño me han quitado
las horas de un sueño malgastado
pinto todo de color pastel para creer
que algún día la ternura me va a devolver
todo lo que el tedio y lo que el daño me han quitado
las horas de sueño que las noches me han robado



EN:

I'm tired and I don't understand
I try to put it into words
and in the end yawns come out

the fear
of seeing myself in a mirror
and dissociate between the image
and between what I project

I almost don't watch movies
I discard my desires
I no longer do what I want
because I never have time
and I lament
and the only thing I think
is that the city eats me up
and that the wind is tangling my hair

I thought that loving would be enough
but I feel lonely and at odds with my mind
I don't believe in my talent like before
I'm not what I used to be
I'm not enough
or I'm too big
I'm not strong at all
or is it that I have too much endurance
I don't remember what it's like to feel good
with a soul as full as a child
who starts to run

I paint everything in pastel colors to believe
that someday tenderness will return to me
all that boredom and hurt have taken away from me
the hours of a wasted dream
I paint everything in pastel colors to believe
that someday tenderness will return to me
all that boredom and hurt have taken away from me
the hours of sleep that the nights have stolen from me
the hours of sleep that the nights have stolen from me
the hours of sleep that the nights have stolen from me

maybe the wrong path
is always the one that has conquered me
I already have the enigma deciphered
time goes by very slowly

I'm not looking for anything from anyone
luck is not enough for me but I always share it
I write verses with a full stop, new paragraph
because a full stop, no new paragraph implies reasons to keep going on
but don't worry I'm in charge here
water cleans everything and lately it's been raining a lot
I don't want to feel a single remorse anymore
the feeling that weighs me down the most is the one of remembering

someday I'll be alright I can assure you
feeling myself is enough to move forward
just like the foot that feels itself when walking
just like two lovers inside a cornfield
I write for myself and to reaffirm
that maybe someday this cigarette will go out just like that
and you won't understand because you didn't want to ask

don't feel bad for me anymore I've changed my skin
sometimes your memory even tastes like honey to me
I've been imagining what I want to be
and I'm just trying to be more cat than ever and run
and run and run and run and run
and run

I paint everything in pastel colors to believe
that someday tenderness will return to me
all that boredom and hurt have taken away from me
the hours of a wasted dream
I paint everything in pastel colors to believe
that someday tenderness will return to me
all that boredom and hurt have taken away from me
the hours of sleep that the nights have stolen from me

DRIVIN’ HOME
VERSE
There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead
People rollin’ 90 miles an hour, and going nowhere
So when you need to slow down, I just turn that car around
And take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home

VERSE
Sweet country music, on the radio
Playin’ all those old songs we used to know
Ohh, They take me back, to a place not long ago
When we took the back roads thru the country
When we’re drivin’ home

INSTRUMENTAL break

VERSE
Rollin’ hills, deep blue skies, farmer Brown will tip his hat when you drive by
Oh, we’re movin’ so fast, leave your troubles in the past and
Take the back roads thru the country when you’re drivin’ home

VERSE
There’s a four-lane highway, stretched up ahead
People rollin’ 90 miles an hour and gettin’ nowhere
So when you need to slow down, just turn this car around
And take the back roads thru the country

Take the back roads thru the country
Take the back roads thru the country when I’m drivin’ home
Drivin’ home

SOUTH CAROLINA WALTZ
VERSEIt was early spring
Cherry blossoms were bloomin’
And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky

Sally Ann took the hand

Of Sir William Lewis
And fell in love as they danced to
The South Carolina Waltz

VERSE
He was a sailor
Who came from South Hampton
From a ship building family, though we never pried
Sally Ann had her man, Sir William Lewis
And they danced and they swayed to the South Carolina Waltz

CHORUS
We always knew

That it was forever
Like the dawn of the rest of their lives
From that night on, they were always together
Side By Side

VERSE
It was late in the fall
When winter came callin’
And the sun sinkin’ low in the palmetto sky
Sally Ann took the hand of sir William Lewis
And they sailed off together for a late sunset ride
But the autumn winds can be unforgiving
And from out of nowhere their boat capsized
And Sally Ann grabbed the hand of Sir William Lewis
And we found them together on the shore where they died

Short Instrumental break

Now it’s early spring
Cherry blossoms are bloomin’
And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky

Sally Ann and her man
Are restin’ in peace

While the wind sings and dances to

The South Carolina Waltz
The South Carolina Waltz

Why don't you leave me alone

and lemme listen to "do I worry"

Derrick sings marvelously well

all of my dreams dem locked in dis room

I'm gonna be a star very soon

but lemme listen to "I worry"

Derrick sings for I only

lemme listen to "I worry"

Derrick sings for me only

lemme listen to "do I worry"

leave us alone Derrick and me

shut de door stop following me

leave us alone Derrick and me!
