Concrete Angel – Martina McBride

She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she’s holding back
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace, oh

The teacher wonders but she doesn’t ask
It’s hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born

Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can’t rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place
Where she’s loved concrete angel

Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear but they turn out the light
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it will be too late

Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can’t rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place
Where she’s loved concrete angel

A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot

Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can’t rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place
Where she’s loved concrete angel

The House That Build Me – Miranda Lambert

Let’s do something different. Most of my posts are about Linkin Park or NKOTBSB. I’ve talked about her newly husband and I’m in a country mood. So let’s go for it! This is Miranda Lambert. She is one of my favorite country singers. She’s in the long list of female country singers I will listen to. My favorite songs by her are “Gun Powder And Lead” and “White Liar.” The first one kind of sounds like Carrie Underwood’s song “Before He Cheats” and I love sassy and man-hater songs. That song defintely does it in for me. “White Liar” was the first song I heard from her. She really killed that song. My all time favorite song of hers is “The House That Build Me.” Kind of sounds like me, but in two different houses. Different houses, different memories.
