Loretta Lynn - “Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)"

Well, you thought I'd be waitin' up when you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys and you ended up half tight
Liquor and love, they just don't mix
Leave that bottle or me behind
And don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind

No, don't come home a drinkin' with lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find…

Irreplaceable
Beyonce


For the ahole who tried to take everything I owned, and killed my dog on the way out.

^



He told me I belong in a churchyard
He told me I could walk away, but I wouldn’t get far

Yet, I’m still here.

Words pointy like arrows
Wounds no one can see
He closed all the windows
As his anger broke free
I will not remember
You as somebody nice

Bloody MF Ahole
Martha Wainwright


*Language Warning*

A song about the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Explicit lyrics.



Demi Lovato - “Swine”

Sometimes (domestic) violence is quiet.

Eyes blue and hollow
As it rains against their will
Feathers falling out of the pillow
As if time is standing still
I can't remember much more
But I know it happened quiet
So quiet
Words falling out through the window
All that remains is a silent call
Is the earth colored red?
As I land like a flower on the meadow
Love is wild

You fell apart
Like a stone can be broken into sand
A thousand pieces
Spread across a crying land
And you can't remember that day
But you know it happened quiet
So quiet

Words falling out through the window
All that remains is a silent call
Is the earth colored red?
As I land like a flower on the meadow
Love is wild
Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
Are our dreams as dead as they seem?
Are our dreams as dead as they seem?
Don't you speak over my voice
I will return from the shadows…

I’ve talked about this song before. I remember singing it with my mom when I was 5 as we were driving downtown to do some shopping. She was really struggling at the time and had to take parenting classes because of it. It meant a lot to have a happy, carefree moment with her. I knew the lyrics, so we must’ve had the cassette. Whenever I hear it, I think of my mom.

I've got money in my pocket
I like the colour of my hair
I've got a friend who loves me
I've got a house, I've got a car
I've got a good mother
And her voice is what keeps me here

Cardboard masks of all the people I've been
Thrown out with all the rusted, tangled
Dented, God-damned miseries
You could say I'm hard to hold
But if you knew me you'd know
I've got a good father
And his strength is what makes me cry

Feet on ground, heart in hand
Facing forward, be yourself

Heart in hand, feet on ground
Facing forward, be yourself
Just be yourself




Good Mother
Jann Arden

Kesha - Woman

I buy my own things, I pay my own bills
These diamond rings, my automobiles
Everything I got, I bought it
Boys can't buy my love, buy my love, yeah
I do what I want (she does), say what you say
I work real hard every day

Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
('Cause I run my s**t, baby, I run my s**t)

I don't need a man to be holding me too tight
I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight

Beyoncé - Run the World (Girls)

Boy, you know you love it
How we smart enough to make these millions
Strong enough to bear the children
Then get back to business
