ARIZONA SUNSET SKIES

Writers: Carra Stasney, Jeremy Graham 

Desert sun, when it hits the horizon  
that’s when the colors come 
Then they’re gone, in the turn of an hour  
darkness has fallen down 

But our love won’t go that way 
We set this fire ablaze 
We won’t ever let it fade 

Beneath these Arizona sunset skies 
Let’s keep loving while we’re still alive 
Take my hand baby we’ve got miles to run 
I don’t wanna look behind 
And wonder how we lost the time 
I wanna catch each ray of that golden sun 
Oooh while it shines on us 

Time can fly, Like the morning snow 
Melting in the canyon pines 
You and I, We could hold this moment 
Or let it keep sliding by 

I ain’t ready to go home 
I need you, babe come on 
Let’s race the clouds till dawn 

Beneath these Arizona sunset skies 
Let’s keep loving while we’re still alive 
Take my hand baby we’ve got miles to run 
I don’t wanna look behind 
And wonder how we lost the time 
I wanna catch each ray of that golden sun 
While it shines on us

 

DANCE HALL CRUSH

Writer: Carra Stasney 

I’m not surprised that I can taste
blood in my mouth 
Cause I’ve been biting off the words
before they come out 
You’ve been running me around
these hardwood floors so long 
But you turn away your eyes
before I can turn you on     

I’ve got a dance hall crush     
You don’t know just how much 
I’ve been dying to take a taste of you 
I’m trying to give it up 
But every time that we touch 
I go spinning right back into you 

Somebody takes me by the hand
and drags me out 
But I’m still looking over my shoulder now 
I try to follow where he leads,
but nothing feels the same 
And it doesn’t matter how I wish
my foolish heart could change 

I’ve got a dance hall crush 
Feels so good but it ain’t love 
Not the kind I’m trying to get from you 
I’m trying to give it up 
But every time that we touch 
I go spinning right back into you

I go out walkin' after midnight 
Out in the moonlight 
Just like we used to do 
I'm always walkin' after midnight 
Searching for you 

I walk for miles along the highway 
Well, that's just my way 
Of saying I love you 
I'm always walkin' after midnight 
Searching for you 

I stop to see a weeping willow 
Crying on his pillow 
Maybe he's crying for me 
And as the skies turned gloomy 
Night winds whispered to me 
I'm lonesome as I can be 

I go out walkin' after midnight 
Out in the starlight 
Just hopin' you may be 
Somewhere walkin' after midnight 
Searching for me

Writer: Carra Stasney 

I know how you miss those Texas dance halls 
And tonight the band from Austin’s back in town 
You’re just needing one more night 
Underneath that neon light 
To twirl those rhinestone cowgirls all around 

You can lead her on 
Out on that old dance floor 
You can pull her in 
That’s what her hips are for 
You can hold her hand 
Til the music ends 
You can lead her on 
When the dancin’s done 
You better come back home 

I sure like the way you wear that Stetson 
And tonight you’ll probably wear the dance floor out 
Once you’ve gotten all you need 
Baby save a dance for me 
The one who loves you true beyond a doubt 

You can lead her on 
Out on that old dance floor 
You can pull her in 
That’s what her hips are for 
You can hold her hand 
Til the music ends 
You can lead her on 
When the dancin’s done 
You better come back home

GET IT GIRL

Writer: Carra Stasney 

You keep telling me that you’re tired 
Of feeling so uninspired 
Running all day just a’ ragged 
From putting out the fires 

Yeah, you got the vision but something’s missing 
You hear that voice but now you gotta listen 
Ain’t gonna come to you Just cause you’re wishin’ 

You gotta get it girl - Ain’t nobody to help 
Get it girl - Gotta do it yourself 
Get it girl - If you know what you want 
Get it girl ‘fore somebody else does 

I seen you draggin’ your boots 
Like you got something to lose 
Too scared to make the wrong choice 
So you just don’t choose 

Babe if you want it, then get right on it 
You told yourself a big lie and then you bought it 
You wanna change it, first you gotta own it 

You gotta get it girl - Ain’t nobody to help  
Get it girl - Gotta do it yourself  
Get it girl - If you know what you want  
Get it girl ‘fore somebody else does 

Even if it hurts, You gonna do the work 
You know what you’re worth - You gonna do the work 
You wanna give something birth - You gonna do the work 
Hands in the dirt, get on now and get to work

Get it girl - A little alchemy 
Get it girl - Honey it's all that you need 
Get it girl - Take all the weight on your soul 
Get it girl - Then you turn it to gold
