Sweeter 02:32
Sweeter Boy you know it’s not right yeah you know it’s not okay How you go on about that stupid car all day Guess you took me for a ride when you said I’d be your bride Cause I know you won’t let go of that souped up GTO Chorus: Yeah you’re sweeter on your car than you are on me Maybe I’ll just pour a little sugar in the tank and let you leave Boy I’ve been trying to be patient, been trying to be kind But if we’re gonna make it, I need some peace of mind Been begging for a ring, but that don’t mean a thing To a guy like you, but that’s nothing new Chorus 2x Bridge: Boy you better make up your mind cause you just might wake up to find These rearview mirrors are all I left behind Chorus Bridge 2: Oh babe I tore out the carburetor maybe you can find it later Ripped out the battery, boy that car is history Gonna pull out the shocks, tow it to the docks Fill it up with rocks and watch it sink You’re sweeter on your car that you are on me Maybe I’ll tear it apart piece by piece You’re sweeter on your car than you are on me Maybe I’ll just pour a little sugar down the tank and watch you leave.

Just Fine 03:05
You say you're fine and so do I I guess we'll just go our separate ways Or we could put it off See how we feel in the light of day Either way Chorus: I'm fine, I'm gonna be just fine Oh I know I'll be just fine Close my eyes, wake up Kiss me good-bye But I won't even cry this time Sun still rises and the Moon still shines Chorus x2 And I know as long as you're with me Just fine is all you'll ever be And I'm not so sure I don't love you anymore But not sure's not really good enough for me Chorus x3

Midnight Oil 03:51
Midnight Oil Just had one of those days but I’d take you and your sweet-talking ways any day Yeah I guess you got the key, yeah you know you really get me and I can feel the electricity Chorus: Baby let’s burn up the midnight oil, light up the wire Burn up the midnight oil, light up the wire Oh babe, we’re gonna set this place on fire I don’t care and I won’t look back that train’s already left the track Well just another minute, my life won’t be the same without you in it Yeah you, you know it’s true Chorus Bridge: They say where there’s a flame there is smoke Sometimes I think I just woke From a dream - Close my eyes Keep dreaming and dreaming and dreaming all night Baby let’s burn up the midnight oil, light up the wire Burn up the midnight oil, light up the wire Burn up the midnight oil, light up the wire Oh babe, we’re gonna set this place on fire Burn up the midnight oil, light up the wire (3x)

I don't need a man to tell me who I am Girl neither do you Just wash that boy away Like he was last night's mistake Yeah pour him down the drain Well tomorrow we'll be just fine But tonight we're gonna need something stronger than wine Chorus: I've been there before I know how you feel You've gotta pick yourself up Put on those sky high heels and walk on Show'em you're made of steel and that's all This ain't nothing a little Johnny and Jack can't heal This ain't nothing a little Johnny and Jack can't heal You know I don't even care I'll always be there That's what friends are for Just put on your best dress Settle for nothing less Than everything you want Well tomorrow we'll be just fine But tonight we're gonna walk the line Chorus Bridge: Get out there, girl Show'em how it's done Keep'em wanting more Have a little fun Girl, you got it so get it In the morning we might feel like shhh But we'll get over it Just put on those sky high heels and walk on Show'em you're made of steel and that's all This ain't nothing a little Johnny and Jack can't heal This ain't nothing a little Johnny and Jack can't heal This ain't nothing a little Johnny and Jack can't heal So put on your sky high heels and walk on.

Wishes and dreams are just fairytale things Just like you and me The curtain will drop We’ll take down the props and we’ll do it all over again Chorus 1 Oh I wish I could just wash you away Close my eyes and not see your face I would scrub you outta every inch of this place I’m gonna just wash you away Couldn’t make you see it was just make believe Oh but I really wish I could Honey I’m just not that good Chorus 2 I wish I could just wash you away There’s nothing I can do to make you stay So I’ll scrub you outta every inch of this place I’m gonna just wash you away With water so cold it takes my breath away I’ll bleach my heart, that’s a good place to start Then I’ll rinse my eyes and I’ll realize it’s gonna be okay Chorus 1 Chorus 2

Cry Carolina 03:59
Cry Carolina Cry Carolina Heard you been looking for me You’ve got the sunset at your back and the coast to your east Everybody knows you got the best of me But I’m running on E, fill the tank with gasoline Keep on driving till I find me Cry Carolina Heard you been looking for me But even as I write this song I’m wishing I could go back home Back to the foothills where I belong Oh but it’s a long time gone And something just feels wrong, so Cry Carolina Heard you been looking for me I close my eyes, I dare to dream I listen to that old fiddle scream and I will Cry Carolina Oh I think I’ll never find ya Sometimes you gotta You just gotta put the past behind ya Life goes on and I’m not the girl I used to be But that’s okay with me. I’ll just Cry Carolina, Cry Carolina, Oh won’t you cry Carolina, for me.

One Shot at a Time You take your whiskey one shot at a time You think you’ll miss me but darlin’ you ain’t mine Just take that heartache, don’t know what for But you can drown it all on that old dance floor Just take that whiskey and go on home Maybe you’ll miss me when you’re all alone Too much heartbreak – I don’t know what for But you’ll take it all, and you’ll get no more Just take that whiskey and drink it up You’ll try to kiss me, but I’ve had enough Oh grab another bottle, don’t know what for Can’t get no sleep, baby one more pour Just take that whiskey, drown your sorrow Go on and risk me and our tomorrow Do another round, don’t know what for And you can watch me walk right out that door Take that whiskey, go on take that whiskey Take that whiskey, go on take that whiskey Go on now, go on now, go on now And take that whisky one shot at a time Go on say you’ll miss me, but that ain’t worth a dime Boy you’re too much heartache, I don’t know what for But I’ve had enough – won’t take no more.

Bitter Ends 03:30
Bitter Ends Nothing lasts forever and I won’t pretend I haven’t had my share of bitter ends But sometimes you just dive in Chorus: You spin me around Sideways and upsidedown You tear my soul straight to the ground And I don’t even care I swear I’d do it all again even though I know the ending Here’s to happy beginnings Who cares about tomorrow The sun will set on everything eventually Oh but, I might wake up in love Chorus Bridge: Life in the light makes the darkness all right I can find my way if you go or if you stay ‘cause in the end, I’ll always have The happy beginning Chorus 2x.

about

Jodi Hildebran Winston Salem, North Carolina

Singer-songwriter with an affinity for combining indie folk and pop, with a touch of country sass.

Although I've been singing since I was just a little girl, I did not start writing songs until my father passed down my grandfather’s vintage Gibson J-45 acoustic to me. That guitar turned out to be the impetus I needed to spark the songwriting process, and I haven't stopped writing since.
