LYRICS: I remember it all very well lookin' back It was the summer I turned eighteen We lived in a one-room, run-down shack On the outskirts of New Orleans We didn't have money for food or rent To say the least we were hard-pressed Then mama spent every last penny we had To buy me a dancin' dress Mama washed and combed and curled my hair And she painted my eyes and lips Then I stepped into a satin dancin' dress That had a split on the side clean up to my hips It was red velvet trim and it fit me good Standin' back from the lookin' glass There stood a woman where a half-grown kid had stood She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down" Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck, then she kissed my cheek And then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes when she started to speak She looked at her pitiful shack And then she looked at me and took a ragged breath She said, "Your pa's runned off, I'm real sick And the baby's gonna starve to death" She handed me a heart-shaped locket that said "To thine own self be true." And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across The toe of my high-heeled shoe It sounded like somebody else that was talkin' Askin', "Mama, what do I do?" She said, "Just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy And they'll be nice to you." She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down Lord, forgive me for what I do But if you want out, well, it's up to you Now don't let me down Now your mama's gonna move you uptown" Well, that was the last time I saw my ma The night I left that rickety shack The welfare people came and took the baby Mama died and I ain't been back But the wheels of fate had started to turn And for me there was no way out It wasn't very long 'til I knew exactly What my mama'd been talkin' about I knew what I had to do and I made myself this solemn vow That I's gonna be a lady someday Though I didn't know when or how But I couldn't see spending the rest of my life With my head hung down in shame You know I might have been born just plain white trash But Fancy was my name She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down" She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down" It wasn't long after that benevolent man took me in off the street And one week later I was pourin' his tea in a five-room hotel suite (yes, she was) I charmed a king, a congressman and an occasional aristocrat And then I got me a Georgia mansion and an elegant New York townhouse flat And I ain't done bad (she ain't been bad) Now in this world, there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrites That would call me bad They criticize my mama for turning me out No matter how little we had But though I ain't had to worry 'bout nothin' for now on fifteen years Well, I can still hear the desperation in my poor mama's voice ringin' in my ears "Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down" She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down Lord, forgive me for what I do But if you want out, well, it's up to you Now don't let me down Now your Mama's gonna move you uptown" Well, I guess she did

V1 I wanna live out in the middle of nowhere Buncha land have a garden and a dream truck Enough money on the side Set my kids up Have the time to take off just to deer hunt Do whatever I want But a dollar don’t grow on trees Gott sell your soul to have enough to be Who you know you were meant to be But I don’t wanna be I don’t wanna I don’t wanna be Chorus Famous Lose myself when the world starts changing Treat a stranger like they might be dangerous Get burned by the stars I’m chasing I’m just saying I don’t wanna be famous Yeah I wanna keep some things sacred But I wanna get the chance Wanna take it Yeah I wanna make it But I don’t wanna be I don’t wanna I don’t wanna be famous V2 Don’t want the world on my shoulders No I don’t wanna have to lock my doors Or hire a man to keep a gun in his holster Wear shades and a hat to the drug store Hiding what I’m there for Best things in life are free Til it costs you everything

I hope mama never hears this song And I’d hate to make daddy feel guilty Don’t know why they called it a broken home It was split in two but damn it built me We put some miles on back and forth Chorus I was backseat in the middle man between my sister and a suitcase Texaco every other day Sunday meet em halfway With a check in my back pocket Buncha mama said daddy said Be sure and tell em I said hello Pulling off and waving from the window I was too young to understand I was a little girl and the middle man Verse 2 I gotta taste of rock and roll It’s where I learned to talk to Jesus I made best friends with the road It’s where I got real good I got real good at leaving Chorus Tag Broken hearts are just part of the planKasey Tyndall - He Gave Me You (Official Lyric Video)Kasey Tyndall2025-03-11 | Description: Save/stream Kasey Tyndall’s self-titled album: lnk.to/kaseytyndall
V1 I needed a medicine Cause I was healing everything with a drink I was down to my skeletons the only friends I thought I could keep Leaning on the long nights, good times, sunrise goodbyes Didnt have a reason to care But damn I got the message When I prayed the prayer
Chorus Lord won’t you give me strength Please wash away the shame Don’t know how much I can take Won’t Take it all away show me where to start I need a bigger heart safe place where I can land Can you give me a spark A fire that burns through the wind and the rain Holds me close when it’s not okay When I said amen I was desperate for a little proof Then He gave me you
V2 don’t know how I deserve it A love that could set me free Never thought I was worth it but you’re always reminding me That All the long nights, good times, sunrise goodbyes, Put us in this place Yeah you were the purpose behind the prayer I prayedKasey Tyndall - Karma (Official Lyric Video)Kasey Tyndall2025-03-06 | Save/stream Kasey Tyndall’s self-titled album: lnk.to/kaseytyndall
V1 Well I Heard she wears high heels Paints her finger nails blood red Keeps a lighter in her pocket For starting fires and her cigarettes Heard she keeps a list she checks it once she checks it twice I’ve seen her in town Ready to raise some hell tonight
Chorus everybody knows her name she ain’t good at letting go she always comes around makes sure you’re reeping what you sow She’s a woman on a mission She don’t forget the debts you owe Yeah Karmas a bitch And she’s the biggest one I know
V2 she’s seen the stones you’re throwin Heard the lies roll of lips The knives you drive in peoples backs To get where you wanna get She’ll knock you off your high horse before you can ride away Better Sleep with one eye open Cause today might be your day Bridge She’s coming for you She’s coming for you She’s coming for you

Cheap motel with the curtains drawn I can feel the come down coming on Said you were gonna leave but you're already gone You're already gone I always had a thing for playing with fire And you had smoke rolling off your tires You looked like an angel but looks are a liar Oh a damn good liar I got you but I lost my soul On the wrong side of rock n roll Nights on fire but the mornings cold On the wrong side of rock n roll It's a bitch when you're waking up sober The heartbreak starts when the party's over I can't quit but it's getting old On the wrong side of rock n roll Now here you are lighting my cigarette Picking right back up like you never left It's like I can't see clear when the smoke is gone Same bar, same drink, same you, same me going on and on and on I got you but I lost my soul On the wrong side of rock n roll Nights on fire but the mornings cold On the wrong side of rock n roll It';s a bitch when you're waking up sober The heartbreak starts when the party's over I can't quit but it's getting old On the wrong side of rock n roll Wild and reckless and lonely as hell I got you but I lost my soul On the wrong side of rock n roll Went hard but I lost control I got you but I lost my soul On the wrong side of rock n roll
Nights on fire but the mornings cold On the wrong side of rock n roll It's a bitch when you're waking up sober The heartbreak starts when the party's over I can't quit but it's getting old On the wrong side of rock n roll Wild and reckless and lonely as hell The wrong side of rock n rollKasey Tyndall - Four Roses (Official Lyric Video)Kasey Tyndall2025-03-04 | Save/stream Kasey Tyndall’s self-titled album: lnk.to/kaseytyndall

Chorus Bring me 4 Roses You can keep your bouquet I’d take chasing confrontation An old fashion conversation Over flowers any day I’ve got a plenty of empty vases underneath my kitchen sink So bring me 4 Roses keep your bouquet
V2 I’ll have the glasses on the table Before you pull in the drive This damn sure won’t be pretty Let’s the pour the hard stuff out tonight
And get drunk enough say the things We’ve needed to say for so long Let the thorns do the talking this time Fore we get too far gone

Daddy made ends in a Peterbilt Momma kept baggies in her bra No HGTV southern living magazine Beats all you ever saw
Chorus We got preachers Cheaters Home room teachers County records Backroad tweakers Nosey neighbors Moonshine makers Dealers and believers Say Bless your heart Come as you are Ain’t no prejudice Crazy Catholics Backwards Baptists Crystal Methodist Amen
V2 Jesus said love thy neighbor Even if their car’s on blocks Said mind your own Don’t cast them stones Didn’t say nothing bout rocks
So the sheriff’s kid sellin’ on the corner Puttin’ that silver spoon to use High as a tornado serving them potatoes At the luncheon Sunday afternoon
LYRICS: V1 I’ve stopped staying out late Don’t drink much these days My Folgers can swear jar ain’t full
I’ve stuck to a budget I’ve let go of grudges Fight fires with water instead of fuel
Now all I can do is sit here and wait Keep casting and pray That I catch me a break
Chorus I’ve been pulling weeds Making room in the garden I’ve bleached my soul clean Yeah I’ve done my part and I’ve made my wrongs right So what else do I need to do To get life to be good to me too
V2 I’ve paid rent at rock bottom Made friends my problems I’ve took every hit on the chin
But I’m starting to think This whole thing’s a prank And my sense of humor’s Bout at its wits end
Chorus I’ve been pulling weeds Making room in the garden I’ve bleached my soul clean Yeah I’ve done my part and I’ve made my wrongs right So what else do I need to do To get life to be good to me tooKasey Tyndall - Not As Ive Done (Official Visualizer)Kasey Tyndall2024-09-18 | Save/stream “Not As I’ve Done”: lnk.to/notasivedone

Oh girl Take it from your momma Sure wish I took it from mine Someday soon you’re gonna wanna See how far you can bend that line Heaven help you I’m the one That you’ll get your wild side from The shell don’t fall far from the gun So do as I say Not as I’ve done
I learned that you can’t take back tattoos Found out cigarettes are hard to quit I’ve done a lot of things so you don’t have to Make the same mistakes I did
Oh girl Take it from your momma Sure wish I took it from mine Someday soon you’re gonna wanna See how far you can bend that line Heaven help you I’m the one That you’ll get your wild side from The shell don’t fall far from the gun So do as I say Not as I’ve done
Yeah you’re gonna think I’m crazy But one day you’re gonna thank me When you have one of your own
Oh girl Take it from your momma Sure wish I took it from mine Someday soon you’re gonna wanna See how far you can bend that line Heaven help you I’m the one That you’ll get your wild side from The shell don’t fall far from the gun So do as I say Not as I’ve done
