lyrics

I wish I’d met you twenty years ago
’Cause back then, I was somebody to know.
I had them hanging from the chandeliers
I put on quite a show
and I wish I’d met you twenty years ago.

I wish you’d seen me when my hair was brown
’Cause back then, boy, I bought and sold this town.
They all lined up to see me
and I knocked them all back down
I wish you’d seen me when my hair was brown.

I wish I still remembered how to dance
’Cause if I did, you wouldn’t stand a chance.
One turn on that old wooden floor
the cadence of romance
I wish I still remembered how to dance.

I wish you didn’t have to leave just yet
’Cause baby, you and I have only just met.
Would you stay for one more round
and maybe one last cigarette?
I wish you didn’t have to leave just yet.

I wish I’d met you twenty years ago
’Cause back then, I was somebody to know.
I had them hanging from the chandeliers
I put on quite a show
You should’ve seen me
You should’ve seen me
and I wish I’d met you twenty years ago.

Her work blends both the real and the imagined, and the musical landscape she navigates dips into country, Americana, and singer/songwriter influences, drawing comparisons to musicians who sometimes get summarily lumped into the folk category, such as Patty Griffin, Lucinda Williams and Jonatha Brooke. ... more
