Trainwreck (lyrics R.Brady c. 2017)
I'm feelin just a little bit of somethin' that I can't explain.
It happens every time that you walk by or look my way.
This could be the end of me.
You might be a devil but and angel is all I see.
I know that you came here with your friends but you might leave with me
And if we dance a little more, there's a chance that you will fall, you'll see
You will fall babe...you will fall for me
Cos I might be the devil but an angel is all you'll see
I don't wanna look at ya
beautiful mess
but i cannot avert my eyes from this train wreck.
You're a mess, I'm a mess, we're all wrecked - baby I don't care
preacher man says we're all doomed so c'mon honey, just let down your hair
you'll be safe darlin' you'll be safe with me
devil's what you think I am, but an angel's what I'll be.
I don't wanna look at ya
beautiful mess
but i cannot avert my eyes from this train wreck.
You're a train wreck honey......
I don't wanna look at ya
beautiful mess
but i cannot avert my eyes from this train wreck.
this....train.....wreck.

If You Won't Take Me Dancin (lyrics by R. Brady)
I’m gonna put my hair up high
Wear my dress just a little too tight
I got moves fit to kill
And if you won’t take me dancin darlin I’ll find someone who will
I won’t cheat and I won’t lie but I gotta have some fun before I die
Life is short I’m gonna get my thrills
So if you won’t take me dancin darlin I’ll find someone who will
CHORUS
WE AIN’T DEAD YET BUT WE AIN’T YOUNG NO MORE
WE GOT ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE
TIME’S A WASTIN’ HIT THE FLOOR WITH ME
ACT A FOOL AND MISBEHAVE
Got my best cowboy boots on
Ya know I bought em for a dollar down in old Tucson
soles are old and they’re all wore down
cuz someone took these babies out and danced them all over town
So I got that spirit in my feet
and it needs to find that drivin beat
I ain’t sick I don’t need no pill
you need to take me dancin darlin’ or someone else will

GONE GONE GONE (Kinsey/Brady)
You weren't kind
I weren't too smart
Guess I shoulda seen this train-wreck comin from the start
But you were so damn pretty and your lips were painted red
And my heart fooled my head
On our weddin' day, you said 'take me away from this little town – it's killin' me
And we were gone gone gone away to San Antone
To brighter lights and big city ways
And you went out dancin til the sun came up
And I was workin' hard to get paid
Ah boy what a sucker but man I really loved ya
So I put up with your foolery
Spendin' every dime, gone four days at a time
Just as free as you could be
Cuz you were so darn pretty and your lips were painted red
And your heart, it ruled your head
And you were gone gone gone every night in San Antone
In love with those big city ways
Screwin' around and dancin' and never comin home
While I was workin hard to get paid
One night I followed you down to the cheatin side of town to a gamblin saloon
You were blowin all my money on bad luck and moonshine and lovin every man in the room
Well there's only so much that this lovin fool will take
I done packed my bags and shut the door
Oh we are through my darlin
I won't take no more
Yeah you're sumthin' pretty and your lips are painted red
But you'd be prettier to me if you was dead
So I'm gone gone gone away from san Antone
Now I'm on my own
I'll take my sippin whisky and I'm taking all my money
And you can get along on your own
Yeah I'm gone gone gone
Baby done and gone
Away from San Antone
I'll take my sippin whisky and I'm takin' all my money
And you can get along on your own
I'll take my sippin whisky and I'm takin' all my money
And you can get along on your own

Georgie had a wanderin eye two wanderin hands and an appetite
Always on the prowl never satisfied he’d take your money kill your beauty and
Steal your mind
He couldn’t get enough he couldn’t have too much
He didn’t want no wife he didn’t care for love
He was a put it in and get on out kinda guy
He’d do ya mama and ya sister and he’d fuck your wife
He was that kinda guy
He was a low down dirty cheatin snake in the grass
Always lookin sideways for a fresh piece of ass
Two-timin two-faced always a lie
He got a whole world of trouble comin for him in this life
Cos from two towns over comes Maggie Malone
She’s a beauty and Georgie wants her for his own
She’s not a woman to be played with cos what Georgie doesn’t know
He knocked up her baby sister robbed her blind and left her alone
To die
Y’see a backyard butcher put an end to the babe
and Maggie’s sister bled out on the table that day
she swore there and then that she would kill the snake
who put her darlin Lily in an early grave
Maggie says to Georgie baby meet me at three
Down in the hollow by Dead Man’s Creek
Y’know I’ve got something that you really wanna see
I’ll be waiting underneath the willow tree
That’s where you’ll find me
She had her Daddy’s pistol it was loaded up good
She put five rounds in his body Georgie fell where he stood
She sat down in the grass and watched him bleed out
Then she dressed in black from head to toe and headed South
And she was singin
He was a low down dirty cheatin snake in the grass
Always lookin sideways for a fresh piece of ass
Two-timin two-faced always a lie
He was a low down dirty cheatin snake in the grass
Always lookin sideways for a fresh piece of ass
Two-timin two-faced always a lie
The bastard had it comin to him
He deserved to die

Lonesome Rider

take that ring from off your finger
go on set it down somewhere
Sure you don’t know where you’re going
But you know you can’t stay here
Slip that noose like a lover round your neck
stand up on the chair
Think about it some, and then stand down
It won’t be the last time you’re here
How many times have you tried to leave
Only to keep on standing still
How heavy is the weight?
How burdened is your load?
A lonesome rider, down a lonesome road.
Every heart’s a long and dusty road that we are travelling alone
to a river of tears by a sad willow – there it is that we are cursed to roam
How many times have you tried to leave
Only to keep on standin still
How heavy is the weight?
How burdened is your load?
A lonesome rider, down a lonesome road
A lonesome rider, down a lonesome road

It Ain't Always Easy

There's a cold hard rain comin' down on you my friend
And I know that in this moment it seems like the sun'll never shine again
I know it's not easy
I know it's not easy
I know it's not easy
But here you are
I don't have all the answers
I'm just stumblin' through
But I know that we are tryin' and I know that I love you
But you ain't always easy
You ain't always easy
You ain't always easy
But here we are
I'm doin' my best to stand here with you
While I figure out what's best for me too
The wounds are old what can I say
Sometimes they'd have me run when I need to stay
But I ain't always easy
I ain't always easy
I ain't always easy
But here I am
It ain't always easy
It ain't always easy
It ain't always easy
When you want love
It ain't always easy
It ain't always easy
It ain't always easy
When you want love

Judas

Somebody's gotta play Judas
Someone has to be the saint
Paint it how you like I won't pay no mind
Cos what you say I am I ain't
I'm that bitch you're talkin bout like you know who I am
But you don't know shit about me and it's all secondhand
It's just a story in someone else's head
Cos somebody needs to play the victim
And someone has to hang
Somebody needs to run from themselves
And they need someone to blame
Maybe I'm your Judas
The enemy you need
Then again maybe you're no saint
We see what we want to see
So I'm that bitch you're talkin bout like you know who I am
But you don't know shit about me and it's all secondhand
It's just a story in someone else's head
If you wanna know who I am come and ask me yourself
Or you can live on the lies that you heard from somewhere else
I don't care
You can suit yourself
But if you wanna know who I am come and ask me yourself
Or you can live on the lies that you heard from somewhere else
I don't care
You can suit yourself
I'm done playing nice

Well I'm a high mountain woman
I need freedom and a big sky
I'd go crazy anywhere else
So I'll be livin' up in the clouds 'til I die
And I'll sing
I'll sing, I'll keep on singin my song
Yeah I'll sing, I'll sing, keep on singin my song
Cos I'm a wild blue mountains mama
All the trees here yeah they know my name
There's a wild heart that's beating in my breast
And it can't be tamed
And it sings, it sings
A wild wild song
Oh it sings, yeah yeah it sings
A wild wild song
It sings, it sings, a wild wild song
My beloved mountain
How could I ever leave
Your jewelled waters, your forests and your canyons
Feel like home to me
And they sing, they sing, a sweet sweet song
Oh they sing, yeah yeah they sing
A sweet sweet song
And it's an old song
And I sing along
To that old song
It's an old song
And I sing along
I sing along
To that old song

Welcome to the Mystery

Lyrics copyright 2009 Rachael Brady
I live by the words of a man far wiser than I
He said there's only two ways to live
The first is as though nothing is a miracle
The second is like everything is
So I measure my miracles by the breath in my lungs
In the face of my child
And by the curve of the setting sun
When I'm feeling unimpressed and nothing seems special
His words remind of the miracle of the inconsequential
And they say
Welcome to the mystery child
Welcome to the mystery of life
I've stopped needing all the answers
I've stopped asking for proof of something greater than myself
Because now I realise it was here all the time
Obscured by my intellect and my arrogance
But it pays my foolishness no mind
And it embraces me just the same
It welcomes me in with a knowing grin
And it calls me by, it calls me by, it calls me by my name
And it says
Welcome to the mystery child
Welcome to the mystery of life
Welcome to the mystery child
Welcome to the mystery of life
Nothing is required
There's nothing for you to prove
Just live your miracle from moment to moment
That's all you really have to do
Welcome to the mystery child
Welcome to the mystery of life
Welcome, welcome child
Welcome to the mystery of life
Welcome to the mystery of life
Welcome to the mystery of life
Welcome, welcome
Welcome to the mystery

Nothing lasts forever but oh don't we try to outrun ourselves and time
And we suffer, running from the truth, as we cling with a death-like grip
to the vestiges of youth
Cause nobody really wants to die but you ain't got a choice my friends -
when it's time it's time
It's the nature of things to die
I thought it would last forever - and then it died.
There's nothing for it now but to cry
Because nothin lasts forever but oh don't we try to outrun ourselves and time
But it's the nature of things to die
Learn how to say goodbye
You think you'll live forever and then you find yourself in the autumn of your life
And you know it can be helped but if you're wise, you'll live every moment like it's your last and you'll learn to say goodbye.
Cause it's the nature of things to die
Learn how to say goodbye cause it's the nature of things to die
Learn how to cry cause it's the nature of things to die
It's the nature of things.

Rachael Brady has one of those voices you only find in singers grounded by their guts into a life deeply & often messily
lived.
It isn't sweet, high or perfect.
It’s a voice that sings its scars & imperfections.
It’ll probably sing some of yours too.
Brady is currently (2024) recording her 4th studio album "Bears, Witches & Wolves" with Blue Mountains based producer Josh Schuberth.
