about

This one features some great off-the-cuff lap steel from Charles Arthur. This was mostly Craig's, but I'm pretty sure Brad came up with the "lousy shirt" line!

Anywhere That’s Pretty

For years I tried and tried to make you happy
I spent my youth just running after you
When you said yes, I started making plans
The places we would see, the things we’d do
The big day came, I was so very happy
I didn’t miss a trick, no unturned stone
I showed up at the church all packed & ready
From that point on, I found myself alone

Take me anywhere that’s pretty
Take me somewhere meant for two
Down by the sea, or a cabin in the trees
So I can start our brand new life without you

I didn’t plan on doing this without you
This isn’t my idea of paradise
But when you didn’t show I wasn’t quite sure what to do
I tried to smile between the tears and rice
The travel agent sold us quite a package
I spent a fortune, didn’t eve hurt
But now you’re off with him to Honolulu
And all that I got is this lousy shirt

Take me anywhere that’s pretty
Take me somewhere meant for two
Down by the sea, or a cabin in the trees
So I can start our brand new life without you
