lyrics

I wouldn’t call it early but it’s not too late
I played my hand I gotta leave the rest to fate
I could lie here cryin’ or try to understand
My chips are gone I can’t make no more demands

Well it’s hard to face it I let it get so bad
I stuck a knife into the life I had
Nobody made me do it and I blame myself
I wouldn’t give that power to no one else

I’m guilty I got nothin’ more to say
I’m not a bad girl I’m just used to gettin’ my way
I got a dreamin’ soul from another time
A willin’ heart and an open mind
If you should care to find you can read me line by line

My daddy left me I got a broken heart
It’s a good excuse or it’s a place to start
I loved him dearly and I watched him die
But I caught his spirit I keep it safe inside

I’m guilty I got nothin’ more to say
I’m not a bad girl I’m just used to gettin’ my way
I got a dreamin’ soul from another time
A willin’ heart and an open mind
If you should care to find you can read me line by line

I know you tried but it wasn’t enough
I had a hungry soul boy I ate you up
Deal another while the flames are high
There’s no use waiting baby watch me fly

I’m guilty I got nothin’ more to say
I’m not a bad girl I’m just used to gettin’ my way
I got a dreamin’ soul from another time
A willin’ heart and an open mind
If you should care to find you can read me line by line

about

Alice Howe image

Alice Howe Boston, Massachusetts

To hear Alice Howe sing is to be enraptured by the natural, unaffected beauty of her voice. There’s no artifice, no histrionics — just honest, authentic, emotionally resonant singing in the tradition of the roots music that shaped her.

Her second and latest album, Circumstance, was recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals and produced by her creative partner Freebo (Bonnie Raitt). ... more
