Anna Coogan: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I wrote this song after I saw The Wreckers and Keith Urban live at Key Arena. Despite the fact that someone threw up right behind us, and a clean up crew in full protective gear had to come clean it up, I was amazed by the shear power of a huge country music show. I went home and tried to write a country break up song. It's hard to do!

Take the Sky and Run

Last Sunday slept through church for the first time
won’t make a habit but this once I don’t think God will mind
He knows that you’ve gone away
He’s heard the sound of my heart breaking and breaking again

this Monday slept through my alarm
it just kept ringing but I can’t move on
cause I don’t understand everything that went down
and now there’s nothing left and your gone

I’m going crazy I just can’t live this way
got to get out got to go
I’ll take the backroads I’ll take the super highways
I’ll run the yellow lights and I’m gonna take the sky and
I’m gonna take the sky and run

this Friday I’m gonna stay out late
this Friday I’m not gonna think of your face anymore
gonna settle our score

everybody’s always talking about light
everybody’s always talking about flying
everybody’s always talking about taking the sky
and I don’t need you in my life
I don’t need you in my world, baby
