Introduction: At the Crossroads

At the Crossroads

Just wishing and hoping and thinking and praying
And planning and dreaming, his kisses will start
That won't get you into his heart
So if you're thinking how great true love is
All you gotta do is hold him and kiss him
And squeeze him and love him
Just do it and after you do
You will be his.                                               --Dusty Springfield (Wishing and Hoping)

Violet - Welcome to My Senior Year (1)

Violet: Welcome to my Senior Year


So if you're too school for cool
And you're treated like a fool
You could choose to let it go
We can always, we can always party on our own

So raise your, so raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs we will never, never be
Anything but loud and nitty gritty, dirty little freaks...

Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass for me
                                                            --- Pink (Raise Your Glass)

Danny - First Date (2)


Danny: First Date

I've never known a girl like you before
Now just like in a song from days of yore
Here you come a knockin', knockin' on my door
And I've never met a girl like you before…

I hope to God I'm talkin' metaphorically
Hope that I'm talkin' allegorically
Know that I'm talkin' about the way I feel
And I've never known a girl like you before
Never, never, never, never
Never known a girl like you before                             

--Iggy Pop (Never Met a Girl Like You Before)

Violet - Skating on Thin Ice (3)


Violet - Skating on Thin Ice


Lookin’ back now it makes me laugh
We were growin’ our hair
We were cuttin' class
Knew it all already there was nothin’ to learn
We were strikin' matches just to watch 'em burn...
Man I don't know
Where the time goes
But it sure goes fast...
Had no excuses for the things that we'd done
We were brave, we were crazy, we were mostly
Young, young                                      
                                                                   -          Kenny Chesney (Young)

Danny - Getting Feedback (4)

Danny - Getting Feedback


I took a walk in the rain one day
On the wrong side of the tracks
I stood on the rail 'til I saw that train,
Just to see how my heart would react
Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate,
And for them I would not disagree
But I never learned nothing from playing it safe,
I say fate should not tempt me
I take my chances, I don't mind working without a net
I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get
                                                           -- Mary Chapin Carpenter (I Take My Chances)

Violet - Where Do the Noses Go? (5)

Violet - Where Do the Noses Go?

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
And I don't want to mess this thing up
No, I don't want to push too far

Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby, I'm alright with just a kiss goodnight
                                                                 -- Lady Antebellum (Just a Kiss)

Danny - Stick it to Me (6)

Danny - Stick It to Me


I'm not talking about retreating no sir
Gonna take our stand in this chevy van
Windows open on the rest of the world
Holding hands all the way to dixie land
We've been trying to turn our lives around
Since we were little kids
It's been wearing us down
Don't turn away now darling
Lets fire it up and wind it out

Come on baby drive south
With the one you love
Come on baby drive south

                                                                 --Suzy Boggus (Drive South)

Erin - Partners in Crime (7)






Erin – Partners in Crime

All day long we work in the fields
Then bring it on home to a home cooked meal
We love you like Sunday, treat you like Saturday night
And when the bed gets full we can sleep in the hay
We’re from the country and we like it that way

Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend
You don’t need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in
Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play
We’re from the country and we like it that way

n  Tracy Byrd (I’m From the Country)

Violet - Feeling Exposed (8)


Violet - Feeling Exposed

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer
Inside of me threatening the life it belongs to

And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
'Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them however you want to

But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand

And breathe, just breathe

                                        Anna Nalick (2AM [Breathe])

Danny - There's a First Time for Everything (9)


Danny – There’s a First Time for Everything

Well, I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school, they were wishing they were me that night

And now our bodies are, oh, so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

C'mon, hold on tight
Oh, c'mon, hold on tight

Thought it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Erin - Learning the Rules (10)


Erin – Learning the Rules


You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, I do…

Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
behind the bushes
till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

Violet - Crossing the Line (11)


Violet – Crossing the Line

Baby, I want you
Like the roses want the rain
You know I need you
Like the poet needs the pain

And I would give anything
My blood, my love, my life
If you were in these arms tonight

I'd hold you, I'd need you
I'd get down on my knees for you
And make everything alright
If you were in these arms

I'd love you, I'd please you
I'd tell you that I'll never leave you
And love you 'til the end of time
If you were in these arms tonight

Erin - Letting the Cat Out of the Bag (12)


Erin – Letting the Cat Out of the Bag

I look back to the one and only summertime
When my girl was the envy of every friend of mine
She slept safely in my arms
We were so young and invincible

Closed lips, she was never one to kiss and tell
Those trips in the summer never went so well
Young love is such dumb love
Call it what you want, it was still enough…

And we were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?

Danny - The Morning After (13)


Danny – The Morning After

And I was lost for words
In your arms
Attempting to make sense
Of my aching heart
If I could just be
Everything and everyone to you
This life would just be so easy

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you

We will make time stop
For the two of us
Make time stop
And listen for our sighs

Not enough time for all
That I want for you
Not enough time for every kiss
And every touch and all the nights
I wanna be inside you

Violet - Can't Get Enough (14)


Violet – Can’t Get Enough

Hot as a fever, rattling bones
I could just taste it, taste it
If it's not forever, if it's just tonight
Oh, it's still the greatest, the greatest, the greatest

You, your sex is on fire
And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

Erin - Facing the Music (15)


Erin – Facing the Music

Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine
Shinin' down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
Well, baby there ain't nothing in this world I can't do

Sometimes it's hard for me to understand
But you're teachin' me to be a better man
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do, no, no

I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you
I'm ready to love somebody
Love somebody like you, ooh

An' I wanna love somebody
Love somebody like you, yeah                                            Somebody Like You (Keith Urban)

Violet - Out of my Comfort Zone (16)


Violet – Out of my Comfort Zone

I wonder what it's like to be a super hero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow Sun
Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned

Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me

Erin - House Party: Uncensored (17)


Erin – House Party: Uncensored

Baby, what you got goin' on Saturday?
You know, words got it, there's gonna be a party,
Out of town about half a mile.
Four wheel drives and big mud tires.
Muscadine wine

Oh baby, you can find me.
In the back of a jacked up tailgate.
Sittin' 'round watchin' all these pretty things.
I get down in that Georgia clay.
And I'll find peace.
In the bottom of a real tall cold drink.
Chillin' with some Skynyrd and some old Hank.
Lets get this thing started.
It's my kind of party.

Danny – Graduation Revelation

I got a job waitin'
For my graduation
50 thou a year

Things are goin' great
And they're only gettin' better
I'm doin' all right
Gettin' good grades
The future's so bright
I gotta wear shades
I gotta wear shades
