I Never Said 03:23

I never said I was a saint I do things I know I shouldn't do I have no self-restraint And I've been known to be a fool Ohh, you think I'm kidding Ohh, you think I'm messing around I never said I wasn't guilty Of all the things I might have done The question's asked already Where did she hide the gun Ohh, you think I'm kidding Ohh, you think I'm messing around Well I've been known to lie But not this time around Ohh, you think I'm kidding Ohh, you think I'm messing around Well I've been known to lie But not this time around Yeah I've been known to lie Look where lying's got me now

I can see your point of view This is a world you're not used to I could try to change your mind But I don't see the point Soon you'll come to find the man was right all along But you couldn't hold on I understand you made your choice But I wonder how you'll fill the void There's gonna be an empty space Some things you just can't replace Soon you'll come to find maybe you were wrong But you couldn't hold on Go run back to your friends You couldn't bear to be where you hadn't been Go run back to your brother's side I won't try to stop you Soon you'll come to find yourself in this song But you couldn't hold on

Handsome stranger How'd you end up in my bed Handsome stranger How'd you end up in my bed Well it must have been Something that I said Handsome stranger I don't even know your name Handsome stranger I don't even know your name Does it make a difference Think you'd love me all the same Handsome stranger You can stay with me all night Handsome stranger You can stay with me all night And then in the morning We can face the light Handsome stranger You took me for a ride Handsome stranger You took me for a ride I'm so close to heaven I swear I almost died I'm so close to heaven I swear I almost died

My daddy ain't home no more My daddy's been gone since he left for the war Times are a-changin', but the lovin' is still there And daddy ain't comin' back 'til the good lord answers my prayers There's dust in my eyes but I can't feel the pain These tears have been shed, no longer does it rain These lands ain't fertile, but my heart won't let me give in Daddy ain't comin' back 'til the Union Army wins Home, home, home My daddy ain't comin' home Home, home, home My daddy ain't comin' home Home, home, home My daddy ain't comin' home Home, home, home My daddy ain't comin' home My daddy ain't home no more My daddy's been gone since he left for the war Mama came in last night in the arms of another man Daddy ain't comin' back he was killed for the land Home, home, home My daddy ain't comin' home Home, home, home My daddy ain't comin' home Home, home, home My daddy ain't comin' home Home, home, home My daddy ain't comin' home

about

Back in January, we went into the studio and recorded a slew of songs. This is the first batch to come out. We couldn't be more excited to share this music with you if we tried.

Thank you so much to everyone that helped make this possible.

And, as always, we'll see you at the shows.

Much love,
Canary
