Wait For Me
By Nicole Bozzuto
(Capo 4. Intro: G/C/G/D)
I belong to the highway
I am wild and free
I belong to the wind
Yeah, there’s a gypsy in me
I know the mountains are high
I know you’re miles from me
But honey, I’ll be alright…Oooo
If you just wait for me
I come alive in the summer
When the sun shines on me
I feel alive in the moonlight
A thousand stars over me
I might be walking in circles
Singing sad melodies
But then, I might dream of you babe…Oooo
If you just wait for me
No man here’s gonna give me nothing
Just less room in my bed
And I ain’t asking for nothing
Just keep me safe in your head…
I know the mountains are high
I know you’re miles from me
But honey, I’ll be alright…Oooo
If you just wait for me.
I never thought satisfaction
Could ever happen for me
I always live in the moment
And then I have to break free
But boy, I just want to hold you
And feel you warm next to me
I’ll keep my hands to myself…Oooo
If you just wait for me
No man here’s gonna give me nothing
Just less room in my bed
And I ain’t asking for nothing
Just keep me safe in your head…
I know the mountains are high
I know you’re miles from me
But honey, I’ll be alright…Oooo
If you just wait for me
Yeah, I’ll be dreaming of you babe…Oooo
If you just wait for me.

Bulletproof
By Nicole Bozzuto
Honey, I’m undecided
About the things you promise me
Keep thinking, this time it’s different
That your words could set me free
But baby, it ain’t that easy
Then again, we’ve come this far
I guess the worst thing that could happen
Is another broken heart
And I’m all choked up
And I can’t break through
Ooooo, honey you keep on thinking
Thinking I’m bulletproof.
The highway is alive tonight
And the streetlights shine on me
Only twenty miles from Cleveland
And it’s still too dark to see
Baby, it ain’t that easy
When you’re traveling in the dark
I guess the worst thing that could happen
Is another broken heart
And I’m all choked up
And I can’t break through
Ooooo, honey you keep on thinking
Thinking I’m bulletproof.
Touching down in Houston
And truckin’ to Tennessee
There’s a thousand miles between us
With a highway driving me
Baby, it ain’t that easy
When I’m lonely in my car
I guess the worst thing that could happen
Is another broken heart
And I’m all choked up
And I can’t break through
Ooooo, honey you keep on thinking
Thinking I’m bulletproof.
Pretty boys between the sheets
Should be enough to feed my head
But their charms fade in the evening
Leave me lonely in my bed
Baby, it ain’t that easy
When you’re a thousand miles apart
I guess the worst thing that could happen
Is another broken heart
And I’m all choked up
And I can’t break through
Ooooo, honey you keep on thinking
Thinking I’m bulletproof
I said, I’m all choked up
And I can’t break through
Ooooo, so sorry honey
But I ain’t bulletproof.

Alaska by Nicole Bozzuto
Sometimes I feel the whole world is melting.
Light pouring from the deep freeze of my heart.
Sometimes I make a moment last forever,
while others end up wounded from the start.
There are lines in my songs that would tell you all my secrets.
There are roads that I dare not trample through.
But this highway’s got me running straight and true.
This highways got me running home to you.
You got me screaming Alaska.
A love that’s wild and untamed.
You got me screaming Alaska.
You got me screaming your name.
Screaming your name.
Sometimes I get off on the thin ice,
while others sink and watch it fall apart.
Sometimes I feel my body is an ocean,
but you built yourself an island in my heart.
There are lines in my songs that would tell you all my secrets.
There are roads that I dare not trample through.
But this highway’s got me running straight and true.
This highways got me running home to you.
You got me screaming Alaska.
A love that’s wild and untamed.
You got me screaming Alaska.
You got me screaming your name.
You got me screaming Alaska.
A love that’s wild and untamed.
You got me screaming Alaska.
You got me screaming your name.
Ooh Alaska
Ah Alaska
Ah Alaska
You got me screaming…screaming…screaming your name.

Another Day
By Nicole Bozzuto
Fast car is broken down
Better off that way
It drove too fast
It couldn’t last
You can’t catch yesterday
Without a, penny in my pocket
Only thoughts in my own head
I sent my soul across the ocean
To find out where I’ve been
To find out where I’ve been
You won’t find me tomorrow
I’m riding with today, yeah.
And I’m, letting go of another day
Say goodbye another day
Don’t suppose I could have stayed
Not today. No, not today.
Surely not today
Surely not today.
Well I’m going to another place
Where nothing leaves my mind
The grass is green
And clouds are whole
And all I have is time
But I’m, getting lonesome once again
Do you miss me yet?
Do you feel upset?
Are you getting on just fine?
‘Cause I’m letting go of another day
Say goodbye another day
Don’t suppose I could have stayed
Not today. No, not today.
Surely not today
Surely not today.
Well I made it through another day
Dreamed memories of you
And I walk the streets and avenues
With nothing else to do
But sit and watch and listen
To good times that we had
Playing over and over and over
Drumming in my head
And I really hope you don’t mind
I wrote this song for you
All the people that I miss the most
Make it hard to start anew.
But I’m letting go of another day
Say goodbye another day
Don’t suppose I could have stayed
Not today. No, not today.
Surely not today
Surely not today
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Surely not today
Surely not today
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

Broken Promises
By Nicole Bozzuto
Broken wishes, broken promises
Sitting alone at a bar
And there’s a bright eyed girl
With some big expectations
And she’s looking right where you are.
She said, get it while you can
And leave it when you need to
I’ve been craving some company
Take me tonight
I’m yours, pretty baby
There ain’t much in this life that’s free.
‘Cause she’s a backdoor lover
A relationship crutch
Everybody’s other woman
But she’ll fill you up
Looking like a broken promise
Baby, she don’t care
She’ll leave you in the morning
But she’ll get you there
She’ll leave you in the morning
But she’ll get you there
Hey, hey…hey, hey…hey, hey.
So buy a drink, and do some talking
Conversation couldn’t do you no harm
But your vision starts blurring
And all of a sudden
You’ll be holding her in your arms.
She’ll say, get it while you can
And leave it when you need to
I’ve been craving some company
Take me tonight
I’m yours, pretty baby
There ain’t much in this life that’s free.
‘Cause she’s a backdoor lover
A relationship crutch
Everybody’s other woman
But she’ll fill you up
Looking like a broken promise
Baby, she don’t care
She’ll leave you in the morning
But she’ll get you there
She’ll leave you in the morning
But she’ll get you there
Hey, hey…hey, hey…hey, hey.
Broken wishes, broken promises
And your baby don’t know where you are
You should have gone home
But now you’re out drinking
And you’re walking her to her car.
You’ll say, get it while you can
And leave it when you need to
I’ve been craving some company
Take me tonight
I’m yours, pretty baby
There ain’t much in this life that’s free.
‘Cause she’s a backdoor lover
A relationship crutch
Everybody’s other woman
But she’ll fill you up
Looking like a broken promise
Baby, she don’t care
She’ll leave you in the morning
But she’ll get you there
She’ll leave you in the morning
But she’ll get you there
Hey, hey…hey, hey…hey, hey…
Hey , hey…hey, hey…hey, hey.

Late Last Night Lyrics c. Nicole Bozzuto
Well honey, don’t be asking where I gone to late last night
Boy you know you done me wrong and I ain’t the kind of woman who goes quiet
You got that right
I would be lying in your arms if I felt like I belonged
Instead, it ain’t no secret, I deserve a boy who’s gonna treat me right.
And I said, honey, don’t be asking where I gone to late last night
Just smoke your marijuana, drink your beer, pretend that everything’s alright
Well, that ain’t right
Said, that ain’t no way to treat me, found a man who’s gonna meet me
Gonna help me lose those blues, forget all that shit you put me through last night.
Said doot da doot, doot doot da doot doot. Doot da doot, doot doot. Doot da doot, doot doot da doot doot. Doot da doot, doot doot…
Well honey, don’t be asking where I gone to late last night
It ain’t your business if I’m drinking in that dress you always say fits me just right
I’ll wear it tight
Well I gave my whole damn year to you, but now my words just slip right through
Honey, don’t be asking where I gone to late last night.
Said doot da doot, doot doot da doot doot. Doot da doot, doot doot… Doot da doot, doot doot da doot doot. Doot da doot, doot doot. Doot da doot, doot doot da doot doot. Doot da doot, doot doot. Doot da doot, doot doot da doot doot, do do do…
Said that ain’t no way to treat me, found a man who’s gonna meet me
Gonna help me lose those blues, forget all that shit you put me through last night
Boy, you know it ain’t your business where I gone to late last night.

Burn It All Down
By Nicole Bozzuto
Another week of goodbye
I didn't sleep again last night
There’s no consolation prize
For always being wrong.
Fire's eating up my soul
Baby thinks he's in control
Laying waste to all I know
Why do we even try?
Well that old sun comes up
And then it starts to rain
Why don't we burn it all down
And start over again?
Just let that half-hearted Moon keep blocking out the Sun
Feels like we laid it all to waste before we even begun
It's alright, just burn it all down
It's alright, burn it all down
It's alright, burn it all down
It's alright, why don’t we let it all burn.
You can sell me lies on tape
Call it all a big mistake
Build a heart that just won’t break
Then take it for a ride.
Close my eyes to all I see
Tell myself it wasn’t me
Shroud it all in mystery
Then say, " Oh well, I tried "
Well that old sun comes up
And then it starts to rain
Why don't we burn it all down
And start over again?
Just let that half-hearted Moon keep blocking out the Sun
Feels like we laid it all to waste before we even begun
It's alright, just burn it all down
It's alright, burn it all down
It's alright, burn it all down
It's alright, why don’t we let it all burn?
It's alright, burn it all down
It’s alright, burn it all down
It’s alright, burn it all down
It's alright, why don’t we let it all burn?
It’s alright, burn it all down
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright.

One More Highway
By Nicole Bozzuto
He told me just get out of here
I don’t want to be your friend
And there’s nothing left in New York
But it’s underneath my skin
It’s okay, I’m angry
‘Cause here he comes again
But I dream of all those buildings
And the skyline draws me in.
If you love me like the highway
Maybe I could take your hand
Come rolling down an old dirt road
Watch the sun caress the sand
And if you love me like the highway
Honey, you might understand.
The winter comes so quiet
And lays sleepless in my bed
I dream of good intentions
But there’s devils in my head
All those people in their white bread world
Stand sheltered from the rain
God, they look so perfect
Why can’t I just feel the same?
If you love me like the highway
Maybe I could take your hand
Come rolling down an old dirt road
Watch the sun caress the sand
And if you love me like the highway
Maybe you might understand.
I’m climbing up the walls again
With whiskey on my brain
And I want to find a simple life
Something ignorant of pain
But you know that you’ve been lied to
If you’re happy where you stand
‘Cause there’s change around the corner
Come to shatter all your plans.
But if you love me like the highway
Maybe I could take your hand
Come rolling down an old dirt road
Watch the sun caress the sand
And if you love me like the highway
Honey, you might understand
And if you love me like the highway
Maybe you might understand.
