Putting Down Roots Lyrics

Sweet Soul Satisfaction
Written by Nancy Wright (c) 2013

Running around – gotta find solid ground
Trying to keep my cool
Doing my best – to rearrange my mess
Another everlasting fool
Not on my list – nor on my mind
Sure didn’t think it through
Peddling fast – running from my past
Smack dab into you

You give me sweet satisfaction
Darling when you call my name
Loving inspiration
My world just ain’t the same
Deep, sweet soul satisfaction
Everything that you do
Drives a powerful strong reaction
And I can’t get enough of you

SOLO

Ice is so thin – don’t know how to swim
Drifting out to sea
Losing my mind – gotta leave it all behind
It’s bringing me to my knees
Nowhere to hide – I can’t deny
What brought me to this place
Right in my path – long lost at last
No more time to waste

Sweet satisfaction
Darling when you call my name
Loving inspiration
My world – just ain’t the same
Deep, sweet soul satisfaction
Everything that you do
Drives a powerful strong reaction
And I can’t get enough of you

SOLO

You got your share of pain – still humming that old refrain
Can’t let go what’s locked inside
We both loved and lost – wondering was it worth the cost
Will you try – love again

You give me sweet satisfaction
Darling when you call my name
Loving inspiration
My world – just ain’t the same
Deep, sweet soul satisfaction
Everything that you do
Drives a powerful strong reaction
And I can’t get enough of you

Deep, sweet soul satisfaction
Deep, sweet soul satisfaction
Deep, sweet soul satisfaction
Deep, sweet soul satisfaction
Deep, sweet soul satisfaction
Deep, sweet soul satisfaction


Just Can’t Put A Finger On It
Written by Nancy Wright (c) 2014

It was a red letter day when you walked through the door of my life
You took my breath away when you asked me to be your wife
I’m grateful for your love – it’s like a gift from heaven above
But something’s changed – I can’t make my mind up on you

I remember every day you’d smile – tell me you loved me
Everything you did made it clear you’d no one above me
But I feel you drifting away look in my eyes have you got something to say
Something has changed – I can’t make my mind up on you

I just can’t put a finger on it but I know that it’s true
Sure do got me thinking on it something’s changed about you
Just can’t put a finger on it – little things that you do
Sure do got me thinking on it there’s a change about you

The sun you shone on me has gone behind the clouds
It frightens me so much that I just gotta say it out loud
Our same old used to be is gone – is it time that we both moved on
I feel so lost – I just don’t know what to do

I just can’t put a finger on it but I know that it’s true
Sure do got me thinking on it something’s changed about you
Just can’t put a finger on it
Sure do got me thinking on it

You say I overthink and you’re hanging out at your brother’s
Look me in the eyes – tell me I’m your only lover?
If this marriage ain’t built on love give it back to heaven above
I’m getting confused – I can’t make my mind up on you

I just can’t put a finger on it but I know that it’s true
Sure do got me thinking on it there’s a change about you
Just can’t put a finger on it little things that you do
Sure do got me thinking on it something’s changed about you

Just can’t put a finger on it
Sure do got me thinking on it

Just can’t put a finger on it
Sure do got me thinking on it


Hush Little Darlin’
Written by Nancy Wright (c) 2013

Hush darling, don’t you weep
Sun’s come out for you
Hush darling, don’t you weep
Come on back home

Hush little darling, don’t you cry
Your crying days are through
Hush little darling, don’t you cry
Come on back home

Gonna hold you and soothe you
Dry your weeping eyes
Rock you in my sweet flowing love for you baby
Brush away clouds from your bright blue skies

Hush little darling don’t you cry
Sun’s come out for you
Hush little darling don’t you cry
Come on back home

SOLO

You’ve been running and reeling
Rolling like a tumbleweed
Doing your best with what you got
Come on get what you need

Woa, hush darling, don’t weep
Sun’s come out for you
Hush little darling, don’t you weep
Come on back home

Hush darling, don’t you weep
Come on home


Well, I’m Travelin’
Written by Nancy Wright (c) 2013

Well I’m traveling cause I ain’t got no home
Well I’m traveling cause I ain’t got no home
My baby left me – oh – I’m so alone

I’m traveling, and the wheels go round and round
I’m traveling, and the wheels go round and round
I’m getting tired – want to lay my burden down

30 days running – down that lonesome road
Know I can’t go back – I got nowhere else to go
Looking for a place – I just can’t seem to find
And I’m getting worried – by the troubles on my mind

SOLO

60 days running – I ain’t found it yet
Looking for the place – I can lay my weary head
If I can’t find it – you know I got to go
Won’t you help me people – oh it’s a heavy load

SOLO

90 days running – fall down on my knees
I can’t go no further – oh Lord won’t you help me please
Baby left me – oh – I’m so alone
Won’t you take my hand, Lord – please won’t you take me home

Well I’m traveling cause I ain’t got no home
Well I’m traveling cause I ain’t got no home
My baby left me – oh – I’m so alone

I’m so alone
Oh, I’m so alone


Lovely Pretender
Written by Nancy Wright (c) 2013

She’s a lovely pretender
Walking cool in the neighborhood
Doing everything you think she should
But she can’t do it all

She’s a lovely pretender
Got it all and its going on
Take one look at her – you’ll be gone
You won’t know what to do

Ends are just beginnings
Some days you gotta lose
One day you might be winning
To get what you need – there’s times you’ve gotta choose

A lovely pretender
She’s got eyes all over you
Are you strong enough to carry her through
‘Cause she can’t walk alone

SOLO

Ends are just beginnings
Some days you gotta lose
One day you might be winning
To get what you need – there’s times you’ve gotta choose

A lovely pretender
She’s got you hooked and she’s reeling you in
She’s a player and she’s wants to win
But she can’t have it all

Oh, yea
She’s a lovely pretender
She’s got you hooked
She’s reeling you in
Oh, she can’t walk alone


Seems I Still Love You
Written by Nancy Wright (c) 2013

Didn’t know – where I was going – knew I couldn’t stay
It was time – I walked out that door
Blinded by denial – couldn’t find my way
Now I see what was hidden before

Tell me why can’t I have you – this I gotta know
Tell me why must I drown in these tears
Can’t ignore it, can’t explain it – sure can’t change it
Seems I still love you my dear

In every life – there is a moment – can’t be undone
I still – see the look in your eyes
When the shoe dropped – love stopped – two are no longer one
What’s true got buried in lies

Tell me why, why – can’t I be free
Tell me why – I just can’t let go
Well I cried and I tried – but I just can’t
Forget all the things I know

SOLOS

I’m a-rock-in – on my front porch – sitting quietly by
Clock ticks the passing of time
Setting sun – pastel color paints the western sky
And you – flow strong through my mind

Tell me why can’t I have you – this I gotta know
Tell me why must I drown in these tears
Well I cried and I tried – but I just can’t
Forget all the things I know

Tell me why, why – can’t I be free
Tell me why – I just can’t let go
Can’t ignore it, can’t explain it – sure can’t change it
Seems I still love you my dear
