I absolutely love country music!!! I write country lyrics, as well as other types of poetry. I would love to move to Nashville to persue the music business. My dream job is to be an A & R rep.

I am married to the love of my life, Matthew. We were married on 9/9/09. We got engaged on 6/6/06 and thought it would be cool to get married 3 years, 3 months, and 3 days later. Matt has full custody of his 8 year old daughter, Autumn. The three of us live with Matt's parents for now, but we can't wait til we can get our own place!

I love cooking! I would love to go to school for it, but for now I waitress and cook at Friendly's. I have worked there for about 8 years, since I was 17.

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Here are some of my favorite lyrics -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-


"I Can't Write That"
(Billy Wayne Yates, Kenny Beard, Jeffrey Wayne Bates)

I make my living with paper and pencil
And an old guitar
I use melody and words that rhyme
To tug at other's hearts
But mine is still too tender
To put her on a page
'cause I'd have to remember
The day she went away

I can't Write that, I'd have to sing it
And if I sung it, I'd have to live it
And if I lived it, it would kill me
'cause she ain't ever comin' back
And that's too sad, I can't write that

I know memories last forever
Whenever you put 'em in a song
But I can't take the chance that this one would be a big one
And they'd play it on and on
'cause when it comes to her love
I get choked up and break down
These feelings are just to much
to share with you right now

I can't Write that, I'd have to sing it
And if I sung it, I'd have to live it
And if I lived it, it would kill me
'cause she ain't ever comin' back
And that's too sad, I can't write that

She ain't ever comin' back and thats too sad
I can't write that


"Deep Down Low"
(Chely Wright)

Everybody says don't lose your head
You gotta keep that pretty smile upon your face
Well I did that for awhile but it just was not my style
I kept endin' up in that forbidden place
I'm a happy woman but when I get knocked to the ground
I invite the blues to come around

So don't be afraid to cry get down as far as you can go
Let the river rage on by and the wind blow
If you pay your dues in darkness
You'll appreciate the light
'Cause a deep down low makes level feel so high

I put on the saddest song ignore the telephone
I go ahead and cry the make-up from my eyes
I let my mind play tricks and then
I let it fool me once again
Into thinkin' that I'll never be alright
Then when I'm no longer crazy and I'm back to my old self
I realize how good I've always felt

So don't be afraid to cry get down as far as you can go
Let the river rage on by and the wind blow
If you pay your dues in darkness
You'll appreciate the light
'Cause a deep down low makes level feel so high

Let yourself go under
Touch the bottom of the pool
Ain't it strange and don't you wonder
How you always come back up and it's so cool

So don't be afraid to cry get down as far as you can go
Let the river rage on by and the wind blow
If you pay your dues in darkness
You'll appreciate the light
'Cause a deep down low makes level feel so high


"I Miss Me"
(Brad Cotter, Rick Giles, Steve Bogard)

If I still had the heart to love
The way I used to love you.
I might still have some trace
Of my identity

If I still had just half a mind
I'd call you up and ask you
Where you left the man
I used to be

Cause I miss me
I'm not the same
I'm just someone else
Using my name
I wish you'd come back soon
Cause I miss me

I've been all up and down the roads
That lead to my old memories
But I can't find the one
With all my hopes and dreams
And I've been looking in my eyes
For something I still recognize
Some strangers stare is all I see

I miss me
I'm not the same
I'm just someone else
Using my name
I wish you'd come back soon
Cause I miss me

You've made me a better man
Than I ever thought I'd be
Now that you're gone
I can't move on

Cause I miss me
I'm not the same
I'm just someone else
Using my name
I wish you'd come home soon
Cause I miss me

I miss me


"Daddy Can You See Me"
(Anita Cochran)

Momma gives birth to a little child,
Daddy waits, with a patient smile.
They tell him what he's brought into the world,
They all can tell she'll be a daddy's girl.

He hears a voice as she starts to cry,
He looks through the window tears fall from his eyes,
Overwhelmed with the thoughts of the day,
He swears he hears her say

Daddy can you see me?
Daddy can you hear the words I say?
I've got your hands
Your eyes and your hair
And this thing you call a teddy bear.
I'll do what I can to make you proud,
Daddy can you see me now?

He takes me fishing like I'm one of the guys
No one can break these ties that bind.
We've got a bond that's precious and dear,
And it's stayed the same through all these years.

As I get older and time goes by,
He's got a shoulder if I need to cry,
And when I think that I'm going O.K.,
I look at him and say

Daddy can you see me?
Daddy can you hear the words I say?
I've got your hands
Your eyes and your hair
And I still hold on to my teddy bear.
I'll do what I can to make you proud,
Daddy can you see me now?

I look to the heavens for some kind of sign,
For you to tell me that I'm doing fine.
And every night when I kneel down to pray,
I wonder if you hear me say

Daddy can you see me?
Daddy can you hear the words I say?
My life has changed since you went away
And I need to know if I'm doing O.K.
I've done all I can to make you proud
Daddy can you see me now?

Oh I've done all I can to make you proud,
Daddy can you see me now?


"Ten Feet Away"
(Keith Whitley)

Alone at a corner table,
She was watching me watching her.
I was singin' about an old flame burning,
She was hanging on to every word.

I was pouring out my feelings,
She was pouring out the wine.
Through the smoke and the beer,
It was perfectly clear,
That we were touching each others minds.

Chorus:
It was love ten feet away.
Imagine her in my arms, with that look on her face.
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place.
It was love just ten feet away.

I just knew my closing song would do it,
I knew that I was heaven bound.
I could tell she was moved, but before I was through.
This stranger walked up and set down.

He was trying his best to impress her,
But she never took her eyes off me.
When he got up and left, I said to myself...
Woh-o-woh what a night this will be.

Chorus:
It was love ten feet away.
Imagine her in my arms, with that look on her face.
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place.
It was love just ten feet away.
