I told you today I'd be leaving I told you I was long gone Don't know if you just weren't believing But honey, I'm moving on And I wonder what you're gonna do next Are you gonna get down on one knee and beg? Are you gonna pick up the pieces of my broken heart, Or just sit there and watch it fall apart I don't need you to move a mountain I don't want you to split the sea But I need you to look me in the eye dear And tell me you're still wanting me And I wonder what you're gonna do next Are you gonna get down on one knee and beg? Are you gonna pick up the pieces of my broken heart, Or just sit there and watch it fall apart To leave you would hurt me so badly Would tear my heart right in two But I need more than what you've been giving And honey, I need more than you And I wonder what you're gonna do next Are you gonna get down on one knee and beg? Are you gonna pick up the pieces of my broken heart, Or just sit there and watch it fall apart

Begging Kind 03:09
Well you know I've never been the begging kind But you're about to drive me out my mind A little here and a little there A little give, cause a little more wear Babe you just don't seem to care no more Well times are hard and we just can't find our way Breakin' your back still living day to day You come home, say I stress you out I start to cry and you start to shout Babe you know we gotta get out of here Cause baby, I'm tired of this When I go, it's only you I miss I never thought I'd have to say Babe you know, you gotta meet me halfway Well it's getting to where I just don't ask no more Scared of you just walking out the door Babe I never thought you might Let the dark cover all of our light And I gotta say I don't know what we're fighting for Cause baby, I'm tired of this When I go, it's only you I miss I never thought I'd have to say Babe you know, you gotta meet me halfway Babe you know, you gotta meet me halfway Meet me halfway

In the morning when you wake me Please don't tell me that you're going for good Please just let me lie here peacefully Please just let me go on living this lie You started doing laundry for yourself For a job that keeps you out so late at night Porch light's on and dinner's on the table Please just let me go on living this lie If you don't wanna stay Honey that's just well and fine Go on, lead me astray Tell me it's all in my mind When you're on the road for months dear A phone call when you get lonely, please Please just let me wait here wishfully Please just let me go on living this lie If you don't wanna stay Honey that's just well and fine Go on, lead me astray Tell me it's all in my mind Tell me it's all in my mind Tell me it's all in my mind

Move 03:23
If I'm not mistaken, baby you want me pretty bad Wanna run and tell your boys I'm the best you ever had But I don't come easy darlin, Gonna have to run Having you chase me down is more than half the fun So if you want me, if you really do- Better make your move Get off your ass and start thinking like a man Probably can't move mountains honey but please do what you can Don't you think we're probably on to something pretty good? Don't you wanna tell me that you did the best you could? So if you want me, if you really do- Better make your move Such a shame you wanna play these games Actin like you don't give a damn You can't fool me anyway And right where you want me is where I am Now you wanna run around with all the girls in town If you want this one well baby, you're gonna have to settle down Don't wanna worry where you're spending all your nights And I just don't wanna weigh your wrongs against your rights So if you want me, if you really do Better make your move Better make your move Better make your move

Baby, look at us now Three years down the road and we're still figuring out Things we think we love Can never stand up to all of our doubt And I hate the way you don't stand up for nothin at all Never could take the fall But I mostly hate how it didn't work out Now I've gotta find someone new I mostly hate how I won't end up with you We both made our plans Before we knew how time would slip through our hands I would have yours to hold If I were okay with a love grown cold And I hate the way that you never offered a match And I hate looking back But I mostly hate how it didn't work out Now I've gotta find someone new I mostly hate how I won't end up with you Now I'm convinced there ain't nothin that don't fall apart I hate my broken heart
6.
A week or two, a week or two When they ask me how long i've been over you A week or two, no less I'm over you I guess A day or more, a day or more When they ask me how long I lasted before A day or more, then I quit I just had to admit I'm in shackles, I'm in chains My burden still remains But true love's my only crime and I'm left here doing my time So long ago, so long ago You were waiving that flag, how could I not know So long ago- you were gone Had me fooled for so long Forevermore, forevermore When you ask me how long my heart's keeping score Forevermore will it bleed Hope you found what you need I'm in shackles, I'm in chains My burden still remains But true love's my only crime and I'm left here doing my time True love's my only crime And I'm left here doing my time

Fallin Now 04:05
Well you walk in the room Looking too goddamn good for words You got me actin like a fool And they're running out my mouth I can't contain the way I feel about you now And you're not gonna catch them And you're not gonna catch me But I'm fallin now There just ain't no way That a man should look so good Forgive me mom, I thought I learned my lesson But I'm just some little flower A shrinking violet in your light My days all turn to nights And I'm withering away And it's useless to say But I'm fallin now I'm fallin now History repeats I should know by now One look in your eyes And I'm fallin now Well that girl's a sight to see But baby think how good you'd look if you were standing next to me And I'm tripping on your words And disregarding every lesson that I ever tried to learn And I'm just little old me And you're too blind to see That I'm fallin now I'm fallin now I'm fallin now

California 02:59
California's got me dreaming Of the sunshine clear and bright This distance's got me scheming Only you can make it right And I say oooh- ooh ooh What do I gotta do What do I gotta do To get to you ooh ooh To get to you What do I gotta do My gypsy soul's been known to wander Lately she always goes the same place But my lover's heart takes over And I'm aching to see your face And I say oooh- ooh ooh What do I gotta do What do I gotta do To get to you ooh ooh To get to you What do I gotta do I will drive that lonesome highway If you'll be waiting at the end And my path will be a straight one Honey you just tell me when And I say oooh- ooh ooh What do I gotta do What do I gotta do To get to you ooh ooh To get to you What do I gotta do

To Know Me 05:14
He knows the way I cry when I'm lonesome And he knows that look in my eyes means the same But there's one thing he don't know And I'll never tell him And that's the way I sound when calling out your name He wants to think I really love him Though at times I'm a little blue And he wants to think We know each other so well But to know me, he'd have to know you He knows the wine I'm drinking ain't just for pleasure He knows I'm more than halfway to insane And he knows that he can't help me And so he just holds me And sometimes it only adds to the pain He wants to think I really love him Though at times I'm a little blue And he wants to think We know each other so well But to know me, he'd have to know you Take me back before I ever loved you With all this time that I spend thinking of you I'd go right now I wanna break these chains you got around me Like back before you ever even found me Please tell me how He wants to think I really love him Though at times I'm a little blue And he wants to think We know each other so well But to know me, he'd have to know you

Morning 04:12
Waking up in the early dawn With the birds just carrying on Watch you while you're sleeping there Hoping you don't catch my stare You've got everything you need So why is it that you don't believe I won't worry if it's right or wrong Cause I've wanted you for so damn long It's a long, long night When you're fighting off The devil on your back It's a long, long night Honey morning's almost here Looking down, I see that old ring on your finger Draped across your burdened breast I wonder how someone I feel has finally found me Can feel so lost just like the rest It's a long, long night When you're fighting off The devil on your back It's a long, long night Honey morning's almost here Trying not to wake you now I'll leave one more kiss upon your brow And I'll gently tiptoe down your stairs And I'll wonder if we'll leave it there It's a long, long night When you're fighting off The devil on your back It's a long, long night Honey morning's almost here Honey morning's almost here

Short lived love Short lived love Why'd you leave me like you did Why'd you go Short lived love Short lived love Why do you still hurt me so? I got a taste, but it was not mine And my heart would race At the thought of Something Fine Now you're gone Oh how I cry Baby I'm living in a lie Short lived love Short lived love Why'd you leave me like you did Why'd you go Short lived love Short lived love Why do you still hurt me so? When first we met, I cursed my luck And that pearl snap shirt You left untucked And that's not all, baby you're so kind Winning trophies for my heart And blowing my mind Short lived love Short lived love Why'd you leave me like you did Why'd you go Short lived love Short lived love Why do you still hurt me so?

Why Baby Why 04:22
I'm sitting here without you Drinking on my mind Cause you've fooled me again with all your lies And I'm sitting thinking 'bout you Wherever you are now Cause you've left me again, gone and left me now I'll be sittin' on my ass, crying to my beer Wishing I could be anywhere but here I'll be sittin' in my teardrops Til the last one's all run dry I'm sittin' here wondering why baby why Now you've got ways of making Me think that I've done wrong When the truth was really all I wanted all along And you've got ways of thinking You're not at all to blame I can count the reasons, the ways, I can count the names I'll be sittin' on my ass, crying to my beer Wishing I could be anywhere but here I'll be sittin' in my teardrops Til the last one's all run dry I'm sittin' here wondering why baby why Now that you've up and left me I hope you find your way Hope you meet a girl dumb enough to stay someday And since you've been out there running 'round On the love I gave to you Hope you know that I'll be out there running around too I ain't gonna sit up on my ass Crying to my beer Gonna pick myself up and walk Anywhere but here I ain't sittin' in my teardrops Cause the last one's all run dry And you'll be the one wondering why baby why You'll be on your knees wondering why baby why why baby why why baby why why baby why

about

A long time coming indeed, Doing My Time began tracking in October of 2019. We finished recording vocals in the B room right as the pandemic came to swiftly shut everything down. These songs have been written, inspired, and collected over the last 12 years- some in Arkansas, most in North Carolina, and one special track in Johnson City, Tennessee. It is my absolutely joy and pleasure to finally be able to deliver them in a tangible manner.

It's been a long time coming, but the first full length Gracie Lane album will be out at the end of 2023, four years after we first started tracking. Lots of life has happened in between, but the tracks are as relevant as ever and I can't wait to share them. ... more
