Song-by-Song descriptionsâ¦

âMama Said Donâtâ
I always put at least one song on my albums for my Mama. This song is a fun one I wrote with Rachel Proctor & Victoria Banks. It has that rootsy, bluesy, down-home feel to it that I love to perform live! I think everyone can relate to these lyrics!!

âStrongerâ
I wrote this one with Don Schlitz just a few months before my album was finished. This song is the centerpiece for my entire record. It describes the road I have been on and the emotions I have felt during the 5 years since my last album was released. This is definitely a reflection into my life and into my faith of knowing that no matter how tough the road might appear to be, God never leaves my side and He makes me âStrongerâ.

âAliveâ
I heard this song about a year ago and I immediately thought âthis sounds like part two to âBreak Down Hereââ. I knew I wanted to record it because I could see the story unfolding in my head of this visual lyric. I also knew I loved the title, âAliveâ. I want my fans to know that I am still here! I am âaliveâ and still making music. Iâve had a few stumbling blocks and a few years have gone by, but Iâm back!

âYou Got Meâ
I heard and loved this song years ago and just held on to it like I do so many songs. I love that you really donât have to think about these lyrics. Itâs just a fun, happy, love song!!

âYesterdayâs Blueâ
When I got together with Chris Roberts & Greg Biek to write this song, I told them I wanted to write a classic sounding song with attitude. I love the very last verse the most in this song because I almost sing what Iâm sure so many people think sometimes when the one that they love leaves them. Youâll know what Iâm talking about when you hear it!

âAint No Thingâ
This is another one of those songs Iâve held onto since the last record. I just LOVE the track and the lyrics in this one. I love to sing about real life stuff and I sing things I am not always so brave to say. I wish I couldâve told some of he guys that have left me âyou know what, it aint no thang.â But, since I canât say it, Iâll sing it!! âº

âOne For the Roadâ
Hereâs another one that I probably wouldnât say to someone in real life but have definitely lived. I love how blunt & straight-forward the lyric is. I like looking for and recording songs that I think would scare some people to singâ¦I AINT SKEERD, especially if itâs REAL to me!

âLetâs Fightâ
I wrote this one with Jason Collum & Caitlin Smith. This one was the most fun to record because it was SO simple and just cool to me. I would actually love to make a record where all the tracks sound very similar to this one. I was inspired to write this one from a scene in one of my favorite movies, âSweet Dreamsâ (the story of Patsy Cline).

âWhiskey and Youâ
I can see the video for this one in my head. I have loved this song for a really long time. I have known some people similar to the character singing in this song and Iâve seen how alcoholism can tear up a family/relationship. This song and lyric are so real to me. Itâs such a sad song and the steel guitar makes it that much more sad. The sadder, the better for me!!

âSomebody Doesâ
I wrote this one long before the Nashville Flood in May 2010, but pulled it back out after we lost our home and I saw all of the people coming from everywhere to help my family. It took on an entirely different meaning for me when I listened to it then. I dedicate this one to everyone that reached out to help rebuild Nashville.

âCarolina From My Soulâ
Marcus Hummon wrote and produced this track for my album. Iâm from Lancaster, SC & this is a song about the feeling of comfort I get when I think about my life back there. When I sing this song, I see myself as I young girl in SC dreaming of singing country music. I always know that no matter where my music takes me in this world, Carolina will always be my home and in my soul.

âNASCAR Partyâ
I grew up watching NASCAR racing on television and going to dirt-track races so this is my tribute to the sport. When I wrote this song, I pictured myself and other NASCAR fans at the track and tried to put into words (in 2.5 minutes), how much fun it is to be there at the races. I had a blast writing, recording, and filming the video for it!
