“Their songs should definitely be in your home collection - Never has listening to misery been such a pleasure!” Sharon Louise, Beat Route Radio

lyrics

Sally’s got a secret, keeps it close to her heart
So she dresses in black so she can act the part
She likes to sit on the stairs
Softly whisperin’ her prayers
And medlin’ in God’s affairs
And rememberin’ long ago
When she sang on the radio

She’s spent years fixin’ her broken heart
Nailed it with love but it keeps fallin’ apart
She hit the road with her band
It was tougher than she planned
Whiskey and one night stands
Rhinestones and a harvest moon
Heartless love in motel rooms

Rolled into Songtown, ain’t got the price of meal
Can you believe how that makes a young girl feel
And living on Hickory Lake
In her Lincoln with its shot brakes
Trying to hide the big mistakes
Sad eyed mad and feelin’ like a fool
Spendin’ life on an old bar stool

She fired up the Lincoln, counted down the telephone lines
Past the vineyards and the prairies and the pines
‘Cause the mountain called her name
Said you can’t stay in the game
Ain’t no right to feel ashamed
The Queen of Hearts wears a crooked crown
She hides in the pack then she’ll let you down
She forgets about long ago
As she turns off the radio
