"Baby No"

If I gave up everything
would it mean anything
And if I wasted all of my time
Would it be just fine

 Sometimes I just walk around
alone in this sleep town
Lettin you bring me down, slow

Don't let go, baby no
Don't walk away, baby stay
Baby No

It's like I'm just standin still
Out here against my will
Why do I always feel, alone

Don't let go, Baby no
Don't walk away, baby stay
Baby No

"I Remember"

Baby believe me when I say, boy I still have my days
Even after all this time, every once in awhile you cross my mind
And even when the walls start closin in, I get strong all over again

Then I rememberyou leaving, and I remember believin
That one of these days you were gonna change
I remember how it felt, when you left me by myself
With all of this hurt and this pain
Whenever I think of us together, I remember

Baby I still have those nights, when I get tears in my eyes
Even after I wasted all that time, every once in awhile you cross my mind
And even when it feels like I can't win, I get brave all over again

 Then I rememberyou leaving, and I remember believin
That one of these days you were gonna change
I remember how it felt, when you left me by myself
With all of this hurt and this pain
Whenever I think of us together, I remember


When It feels like I can't fight, no matter how hard I try
When I wonder why I can't let you come back again...


Then I rememberyou leaving, and I remember believin
That one of these days you were gonna change
I remember how it felt, when you left me by myself
With all of this hurt and this pain
Whenever I think of us together, I remember

"Bigger Man"

All that time you spent, stringin me along
Playin house, and writin songs
Beggin me to wait, to keep holdin on
You were never really there, but you aint ever really gone

I keep hearin all your ugly words
And all the blame that I don't deserve
If I would've been a little more like her
Then I'd never see you for just what you were

I'll let you go and tell your story
Along with all the women before me
I'll let all these lies you spread be true
Like, I was the one hurtin you
A boy like you, can't understand
Mmm baby, I'll be the bigger man

Then you came back, for what was left of me
With all this love and certainty
Just to call me up and set me free
Becuse you and her are meant to be

I'll let you go and tell your story
Along with all the women before me
I'll let all these lies you spread be true
Like, I was the one hurtin you
A boy like you, can't understand
Mmm baby, I'll be the bigger man

I can go to sleep at night, knowin that I did this right
Walkin with my head held high, some things just ain't worth my time

I'll let you go and tell your story
Along with all the women before me
I'll let all these lies you spread be true
Like, I was the one hurtin you
A boy like you, can't understand
Mmm baby I'll always be the bigger man

"Your Song"

Once, upon a time
I was yours and you were mine
Baby I thought we had it all
I don’t know why we had to fall
Apart

Remember those winter nights
Remember it feelin right
Down that long gravel road
Baby I thought we had a home
But we don’t

And I won’t forget
And I don’t regret
Maybe this love ain’t over yet
Who knows

I hear you already moved on
You’d think by now I’d be used to you bein gone
And now I’m stuck here being alone
Alone

And I won’t forget
And I don’t regret
Maybe this love ain’t over yet
Who knows

Once, upon a time..I was yours and you were mine

"Never Mine"

I’m so sick of being perfect
And too good to be true
Just to end up being left
By people just like you

I’m so tired of being everything
That’s never quite enough
Just to end up all alone
Giving up on love

When will I be worth it, Will I ever deserve it
When will I be the one who has it all
When will you find me, Will you be beside me
When will you be there to catch me when I fall
Or will you never be mine at all

I’m so done with being lonely
And never really alone
Just to pick up all the pieces
Whenever things go wrong

When will I be worth it, Will I ever deserve it
When will I be the one who has it all
When will you find me, Will you be beside me
When will you be there to catch me when I fall
Or will you never be mine at all

I can’t give you my heart, if you won’t take my hand
I pray that one of these days this pain comes to an end

When will I be worth it, Will I ever deserve it
When will I be the one who has it all
When will you find me, Will you be beside me
When will you be there to catch me when I fall
Or will you never be mine at all

"Back for your love"

At this point it's not your fault, and I know that
You were ready to run and I can't control that
And everytime I tell myself, this time is the last time I let you in

I keep comin back, I keep holdin on
I'm not lettin go, I'm not movin on
I keep fallin down, I keep gettin up
I keep comin back, keep comin back
Back for your love

At this point I'm only hurting myself
I'm the one who doesn't want to be with anybody else
And everytime I try to tell you, I think I've had enough of this pain

I keep comin back, I keep holdin on
I'm not lettin go, I'm not movin on
I keep fallin down, I keep gettin up
I keep comin back, keep comin back
Back for your love 

You tell me that it's over, you tell me that you're gone
But everytime you're feeling lonely, you pick up the phone..

You keep comin back, you keep holdin on
You're not lettin go, You're not movin on
We keep fallin down just to get back up
We keep comin back, keep comin back
To our love

"Could've Gone Without That"

It was hard enough moving on, and getting over you being gone
Spendin my time, with you on my mind
It was bad enough watching you leave, thinkin I can't do anything
But put up a fight, if you don’t wanna make this right

Walkin in here tonight, and seein you with her
After all you’ve put me through, I'm pretty sure

I could’ve gone without that
It wouldn’t be so bad
I could’ve gone on with my night
But instead I had to find out, that you ain’t comin back
 I could’ve gone without that

You told me you needed your time, well thanks for wastin all of mine
And it's clear to see, you’re pretty busy
You say that you need to slow down, well aint it funny to see you out
No both of you stay, I’ll be on my way

Walkin out of here tonight, leavin you with her
After all you’ve put me through, I’m pretty sure

I could’ve gone without that
It wouldn’t be so bad
I could’ve gone on with my night
But instead I had to find out, that you ain’t comin back
Ya I could’ve gone without that

I can't believe I let myself fall for all your lies
I told myself to give you space but now I realize

And I could've gone without that
It wouldn't be so bad
I could've gone on with my night
Instead I had to find out, that you ain't comin back
Ya I could've gone without that

"Stranger"

I haven't heard your voice, in so long
And I've tried so hard, to be strong
It's not that I'm still holdin on
I just can't get over you


I always see your face in my dreams
Now all I have are memories
By now, well I'd try anything
I just can't get over you


I need a stranger
Tonight's just one of those nights
I need a stranger
To get you off my mind


I havent felt the touch of your lips
Every night I long, for your kiss
Maybe I, can't do this
I just can't get over you


I need a stranger
Tonight's just one of those nights
I need a stranger
To get you off my mind


I haven't heard your voice, in so long.

"Bring Me Down"


You said baby don’t stop, I could kiss you forever
And I knew you didn’t mean it, but at least we were together
You said baby don’t go, you could always stay
And I knew what you meant by that but I stayed there anyway

And ive tried letting go, so many times and baby
You’ll never know, that it kills me inside

Baby bring me down
Let me give you my heart and you can throw it on the ground
Baby build me up, and let me fall
Watch me crawl, back around
Baby bring me down

You say it aint me, that you just need some time
But baby I know, you’ve got leavin on your mind
You said you want space, to figure this out
So where does that leave me between then and now
And ive tried letting go, so many times and baby
You’ll never know, that it kills me inside

Baby bring me down
Let me give you my heart and you can throw it on the ground
Baby build me up, and let me fall
Watch me crawl, back around
Baby bring me down

"Over and Again"

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice..you get blogged about on the internet...




You brought me roses, and a bottle of wine
You tell me you’re sorry, didn’t waste any time
You’re down on your knees, where you belong
I thought last time would be the last time you would do me wrong

Baby it’s over, and over again
Bet if I was older, I wouldn’t let you in
When will this on again, off again, on again, end
Until it’s over, again

I know her name, and I’ve seen her around
You ain’t got not shame, runnin round in this town
I’ve got your secrets, locked in my heart
All of these lies, gone and torn me apart

Baby it’s over, and over again
Bet if I was older, I wouldn’t let you in
When will this on again, off again, on again, end
Until it’s over, again

Lord I’ve tried letting go and baby even heaven knows
Im never gonna make you change
So many nights I stayed awake trying just to hide the pain
But I don’t know how much more I can take, before I break

Baby it’s over, and over again
Bet if I was sober, I wouldn’t let you win
When will this on again, off again, on again, end
Until it’s over, again.

"Take me Away"

I'm fading to black
It can't get any darker
I try and I try, but it only gets harder
Maybe it was too good to be true
And baby who am I, to be loved by you


So take my hand, and hold me down
Baby won't you take my words and throw them around
And tie me up, make me stay
Come on baby, and take me away


I'm walking alone
The road only gets longer
I pray and I pray, but I don't feel any stronger
Maybe it's worth what you've put me though
And baby who am I, to be saved by you



So take my hand, and hold me down
Baby won't you take my words and throw them around
And tie me up, make me stay
Come on baby, and take me away

I wipe them away
All of these tears
Again and again, in the rearview mirror
But I'll turn around and you'll fall to your knees
Cause baby who are you, to be left by me

So take my hand, and hold me down
Baby won't you take my words and throw them around
And tie me up, make me stay
Come on baby, and take me away

Lie to me, it's whatever you say
Come on baby, and take me away

"Better at Gone"

      Maybe it's because I grew up in a small town...that I am so comfortable with the idea that everyone thinks they know my business. I feel like Burbank has prepared me for any image-destroying propaganda that US Weekly could ever dream up solely because I have endured what many of us have, being "famous in a small town." Which  in my opinion, is worse than any gossip column drama..any damn day. I've heard things about me that I can't even fathom. My poor, poor mother. Anyway, I bring this up today because I already know people are going to assume they know who some of these songs are about..and some of you..will be SooOooOoo right... :) But keep in mind that some of these songs weren't written this very minute..or within the last 6 months..some blogs will be lyrics for song ideas written a lifetime ago. This, however, is not one of those occasions, THIS was written...for you ;) This is also the newest song that Jeremy and I have been preparing for the album...and it.is.legit.


I stayed up and cried all night
Boy the way you left it just ain't right
And it took awhile for me to see
But now it's easy
I'm better at gone than I bet you thought


I've been out a couple times
Gettin what I need to clear my mind
And it took awhile for me to find
But I ain't thinkin of you tonight 
I'm better at gone than I bet you thought


I'm better at gone that I bet you thought
No I ain't missin you at all
If you think I'm bad at letting go
Well  I just thought you oughtta know
I'm better at gone than I bet you thought


I hear you've sure had it rough
Layin low and actin tough
I hear you've been askin yourself why
Should've thought about that when you said goodbye
I'm better at gone than I bet you thought



I'm better at gone that I bet you thought
No I ain't missin you at all
If you think I'm bad at letting go
Well  I just thought you oughtta know
I'm better at gone than I bet you thought

Behind The Music

     In the few short days the Kate Turner Facebook music page has been up, many of you have been writing me about the lyrics to "Baby No." After my girlfriend Kassie started bugging me about my musical "inspiration" Jeremy and I decided what better way to let fans behind the music with a SongBlog. In this blog we will post new lyrics, song ideas and videos for people to give feedback on! 

     The best thing about Country music is it's familiarity. Country music fans can relate to their music, which is one of the reason I myself, am so passionate about writing it. A lot of people joke about the typical my-wife-left-me, my-truck-broke-down ideas behind some country songs, but the reality is people like songs that tell a story. A lot of my music tells a story too, mostly about my personal experiences which are the kinds of experiences that many people have. "Baby No" may mean something completely different to you than it did to me when I wrote it, but the beautiful thing about music is, it can be whatever you want it to be, and this way anyone who hears or reads these songs can know exactly where our heads were at and what we were feeling when we wrote it. The exciting slash terrifying thing is that many of these songs are personal. Letting anyone into my world through music is scary. There's a fear of judgement, rejection, and the reality is not everyone is going to like every song, BUT either way, I get to write about my life, you get to hear it and hopefully someday it will be on the radio for everyone to love or hate.

     A lot of these blogs are going to be, like I said, inspired by my life, however not every word in every song is literal, and you may THINK you know..but you have no idea ;) Yes, I'm going to slam my ex boyfriends. Yes, I'm going to call out people who have hurt me, and Yes, I'm going to enjoy every painful or joyful minute of it. Jeremy and I both don't just sit down and say, "let's write a song about this..." it just happens. Some of my close friends known through experience that I may be half way through a beer at dinner and tell them to shut up because an idea just popped into my head. I could be driving down the road, get an idea and leave Jeremy a singing voicemail..that's just how it goes. So I can't say how many or how often this blog will get new posts, but what I can tell you is that writing is and always has been a release..and because of the way I live my life, I am inspired constantly. 

     Unfortunately, most of the songs will not have music posted with them. Just words. But anyone who knows me, knows how important words are to me and hopefully song lyrics are as vital to listeners as they are to those who put themselves out there. I write about what I feel, and since I don't "pop bottles" or live a crazy rock star life..you will be greatly disapointed coming to this site hoping to find lyrics about anything other than what everyone else deals with...so...let the song writing begin.... :)
