David & Shelly vs. Blake & Miranda



You’re The Reason God Made Oklahoma
David Frizzell & Shelly West
There's a full moon over Tulsa
I hope that it's shining on you
The nights are getting colder
In Cherokee County
There's a Blue Northern passing through
I remember green eyes
And a rancher’s daughter
But remember is all that I do
Losing you left a pretty good cowboy
With nothing to hold on to

Sundown came and I drove to town
And drank a drink or two
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missing you
I'm sure missing you

Here the city lights outshine the moon
I was just now thinking of you
Sometimes when the wind blows
You can See the mountains
And all the way to Malibu
Everyone's a star here in L.A. County
You ought to see the things that they do
All the cowboys down on the Sunset Strip
Wish that they could be like you

The Santa Monica Freeway
Sometimes makes a country girl blue
 You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missing you

I work 10 hours on a John Deere tractor
Just thinking of you all day

I've got a calico cat and a two-room flat
On a street in West L.A.

You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missing you
I'm sure missing you






You’re The Reason God Made Oklahoma
Blake Shelton & Miranda Lambert
There's a full moon over Tulsa
I hope it's shining on you
The nights are getting colder
In Cherokee County
There's a Blue Northern passing through
I remember green eyes
And a rancher’s daughter
But remember is all that I do
Losing you left a pretty good cowboy
With nothing to hold on to

Sundown came and I drove to town
To drink a drink or two
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missing you
I'm sure missing you

Here the city lights outshine the moon
And I was just now thinking of you
Sometimes when the wind blows
You can see the mountains
And all the way to Malibu
Well everyone's a star here in L.A. County
You ought to see the things that they do
All the cowboys out there on the Sunset Strip
Wish that they could be like you

The Santa Monica Freeway
Sometimes makes a country girl blue
 You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missing you

I work 10 hours on a John Deere tractor
Just thinking of you all day

I've got a calico cat and a two-room flat
On a street in West L.A.

You're the reason God made Oklahoma
You're the reason God made Oklahoma
And I'm sure missing you
I'm sure missing you

TFT: Miranda Lambert


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously fervent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Kerosene
Miranda Lambert
I'm waitin' on the sun to set
‘Cause yesterday ain’t over yet
 I started smokin’ cigarettes
There's nothing else to do I guess
 Dusty roads ain’t made for walkin’
Spinnin’ tires ain’t made for stoppin'
 I'm givin’ up on love
‘Cause love's given up on me

I gave it everything I had
And everything I got was bad
 Life ain’t hard but it's too long
To live it like some country song
 Trade the truth in for a lie
Cheatin’ really ain’t a crime
 I'm givin’ up on love
‘Cause love's given up on me

Forget your high society
I'm soakin' it in kerosene
 Light 'em up and watch them burn
Teach ‘em what they need to learn
 Ha
 Dirty hands ain’t made for shakin'
Ain’t a rule that ain’t worth breakin'
 Well I'm givin’ up on love
‘Cause love's given up on me

Now I don't hate
The one who left
 You can't hate
Someone who's dead
 He's out there holdin’ on to someone
I'm holdin’ up my smokin’ gun
 I'll find somewhere to lay my blame
The day she changes her last name
 Well I'm givin’ up on love
‘Cause love's given up on me
 Well I'm givin’ up on love
Hey love's given up on me


The House That Built Me
Miranda Lambert
I know they say you can’t go home again
I just had to come back one last time
Ma'am I know you don't know me from Adam
But these handprints on the front steps are mine
And up those stairs
In that little back bedroom
Is where I did my homework
And I learned to play guitar
And I bet you didn't know
Under that live oak
My favorite dog is buried in the yard

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healin’
Out here it’s like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
if I could just come in I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothin’ but a memory
From the house that built me

Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
From Better Homes and Garden magazines
Plans were drawn, concrete poured
And nail by nail
And board by board
Daddy gave life to mama's dream

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healin’
Out here it’s like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
if I could just come in I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothin’ but a memory
From the house that built me

You leave home
You move on
And you do the best you can
I got lost in this old world
And forgot who I am

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healin’
Out here it’s like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
if I could just walk around I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothin’ but a memory
From the house that built me
