lyrics

No one likes to play a jukebox more than I do
and go out dancing to a swinging country song
I understand you’re attraction to a bar room
but lately you’ve been staying’ gone too long
I’m not the kind of gal who likes to tell my man what he should do but
at the very least you could pick up the phone
Don’t make me wonder where you are each time you leave me
all alone while you’re missing here at home

I’ll still be here when the whiskey stops working
and those honky tonk angels leave you on your own
when they turn off that neon sign maybe then you’ll see the light
and all the love you’re missing here at home

I’ve lost count of all those sleepless nights I’ve waited
if I really didn’t love you I’d be gone
it’s never crossed my mind the thought of leaving
I guess that’s why I’m still here hanging on
All my friends tell me I’m crazy and they say that I am the most
forgiving woman that they’ve ever known
‘cause here I am in bed with nothin’ but the light on
one more night you’re missing here at home

I’ll still be here when the whiskey stops working
and those honky tonk angels leave you on your own
when they turn out that neon sign maybe then you’ll see the light
and all the love you’re missing here at home

when they turn out that neon sign maybe then you’ll see the light
and all the love you’re missing here at home

One of the best folk-country albums I’ve heard in years. Great singing & playing, and superb songwriting with clever turns of a lyric. Brennen just does everything really really well! Cas P

Denim & Diamonds

supported by 6 fans who also own “Missing Here At Home”

I am not really an expert in today's country music. I know and appreciate Sheryl Crow or the Dixie Chicks, but that's it more or less. NIKKI LANE's rocking style with a decent rough edge fits quite well to this "strong women" references. Several songs are catchy and always welcome on my soft music playlists, check for example "First High", "Born Tough" or "Black Widow". H.L.

Kelsey Waldon’s latest is full of gritty, gutsy country-rock that draws on the genre’s traditions but adds razor-edged attitude. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 20, 2019
