Shelby Lynne - Things Are Tough All Over

I can't believe you're calling me
Did you run out of things to do?
Are you bothered by old memories?
Has guilt got the best of you?
I can't imagine what you want with me
You must have come up short tonight
I thought you were happy being free
But your voice tells me that's not right

I guess things are tough all over
Even on the single side of town
Is this harder than you thought it'd be
Without my loving arms around?
And now, the beating of your lonely heart
Is the cold night's only sound
I guess things are tough all over
When old memories get you down

When you ask me, if I think about you
What are you expecting me to say?
Well, I do, but I can live without you
It's too late to ask me anyway
So, if you're calling me for sympathy
'Cause I'm getting harder to forget
I won't be your one night remedy
To help you live with your regret

I guess things are tough all over
Even on the single side of town
Is this harder than you thought it'd be
Without my loving arms around?
And now, the beating of your lonely heart
Is the cold night's only sound
I guess things are tough all over
When old memories get you down

I guess things are tough all over
When old memories get you down

@maggiesmom2007 are you kidding me? nashville tossed her out not the other way around. listen to her new cd revolution road. tell me that's not country. not radio country but real country. she is a real as real can be.

@tinketteful Brandi Carlile, YES. I saw her live in Louisville KY last year, fantastic and her song writing is among the best and most moving I have heard in years, so mature for such a young woman.

@gurlsingerfan - yep, I don't think Shelby can be pigeon holed (like Joan Armatrading) can't stuff either in a nifty genre box. She can sing authentic country though or blues, blugrass and rock as well. I think we'll be seeing Brandi Carlile in the same light a few years from now. She's about the ONLY young talent today that's as authentic as Shelby.
