Mannequin Song
I’m a silver mannequin
With a sale sign on my breasts
I’m in the store window
Without a dress.
And I feel envy,
Like the store meant you to
Do you, Do you?
And I have wicked eyes
They’re following you
But I know my identity
Like most of you don’t
Know what I will do
And what I won’t
I know what I believe in
I know what I want
Do you, Do you?
And I see it with my wicked eyes
If I could just move
Cause I have wicked eyes
Lookin’ at you
Wicked eyes
Ya know they’re true
I have wicked eyes
Can’t break this glass
Wicked eyes, I’m workin’ my ass off
For wicked eyes
They see through your soul
Like a store window
Cause I don’t have my own
For my wicked eyes
For my wicked eyes
For my wicked eyes
And I want my own, soul
And mannequins
We’re always so cold
But I’m warm in my dreams
Where I’ll never grow old
And I like lying here
Naked with you
We’re locked in our bedroom
We do what we do
And you look at me with those wicked eyes
I’m looking back at you
Wicked eyes
Ya know they’re true
I have wicked eyes
Can’t break this glass
Wicked eyes
I’m workin’ my ass off
For wicked eyes
They see through your soul
Like a store window
Cause I don’t have my own
For my wicked eyes
For my wicked eyes
For my wicked eyes
And I want my own, soul
But I’m locked inside this window
And I see everything
But that doesn’t matter
Cause I can’t change a thing
Some day it will shatter
I’ll follow you out
You’ll look in my eyes
And imprison my doubts
Cause I have wicked eyes
Lookin’ at you
Wicked eyes
Ya know they’re true
I have wicked eyes
Can’t break this glass
Wicked eyes
I’m workin’ my ass off
For wicked eyes
They see through your soul
Like a store window
Cause I don’t have my own
For my wicked eyes
For my wicked eyes
For my wicked eyes
And I want my own, soul

Hey Baby (The Hayloft Song)
(Ooos)
(Baby I love you, Oh Summertime, Oh Summertime)
Do you remember, the way up to Helen
Will you remember, your way back home
Do you remember, those sweet nights in the Hayloft
Sippin’ on whiskey, dancin’ all night long
And singin’, Hey Baby,
Hey Baby, Hey Baby
Maybe I wantcha
Singin’ Hey Baby,
Maybe I love you
Ooos
Do you remember me sittin’ on your knee
Kissin’ your cheek just like a little tease
Do you remember, givin’ me a squeeze
Nibblin’ my ears, and whisperin’ to me
Will you still love me tomorrow?
And singin’, Hey Baby,
Hey Baby, Hey Baby
Maybe I wantcha
Singin’ Hey Baby,
Maybe I love you
We’re singin’ Hey Baby,
Hey Baby, Hey Baby
Maybe I wantcha
Singin’ Hey Baby,
Maybe I love you
Ooos
Like those three little birds
On a Battlefield of Love
Singin’ only pure songs
The Harley’s play along
Bullfrogs are smokin’
With the Rivals laws are broken, I
Strum this guitar
And the fiddler plays his song
Oh Summertime, Oh Summertime
We take shot
We steal a kiss
We turn around
And stomp our feet like this
And shout, Baby don’t fall for me
We’re singin’, Hey Baby,
Hey Baby, Hey Baby
Maybe I wantcha
Singin’ Hey baby,
Maybe I love you
We’re singin’ Hey Baby,
Hey Baby, Hey Baby
Maybe I wantcha
Singin’ Hey Baby,
Maybe I love you
We take shot (Hey baby)
We steal a kiss (Hey baby)
We turn around (Hey Baby, Maybe I want you)
And stomp our feet like this (Hey baby)
And shout, Baby don’t for me (Baby I love you)
We close our eyes (Hey baby)
We kiss again (Hey baby)
We hold our breath (Hey baby, Baby I want you)
And now we’re fallin’ in love (Baby I love you)
(Baby I love you)
(Oh Summertime Oh Summertime)
Ooos
(3 little birds on a battlefield of love)
(Singin’ only pure songs while the Harley’s sing along)
(Oh Summertime Oh Summertime)
We’re singin’, Hey Baby, (Bullfrogs are smokin)
Hey Baby, Hey Baby (with their Rivals laws are broken)
Maybe I wantcha (I strum this guitar, fiddler plays his song)
Singin’ Hey Baby,
Maybe I love you
Maybe I love you

Just Like the Movies
Down in Washington, Georgia, they say grace before each meal
From eternity to eternity, you can hear it in the hills
Cows graze near the highway, sun sets through the trees
And the ice cream store sells smiles, any flavor that you please
Houses are all made of brick, surrounded by tall pines
Think I’m gonna stay here for awhile
Out at Sunday dinner, in the diner on the square
Gentlemen stand proper when she returns to hold her chair
And when old Billy passed away everyone was truly down
So they celebrated who he was, a member of their town
They raised a shot of whiskey, and praised the Lord above
For all the time they had here with him, and lessons learned in love
Think I’m gonna stay here for awhile
Cause it’s just like the movies
With Rhett Butler and Scarlet
In a dress I’d love to wear
Coming down those long steep stairs
And everybody knows your name
Cause the town just stays the same
And the deer come out to greet you, if you try to drive a mile
Think I’m gonna stay here for awhile
On the Fourth of July, while the fireworks explode
Town band plays our favorite songs so we can dance while we grow old
Underneath the stars that night, Johnny gives Mary his ring
Now would Washington be southern if we didn’t do these things
Down in Washington, Georgia, life is good here everyday
So pines can travel out on 18 wheels to get away
Think I’ll stay around here for awhile
Cause it’s just like the movies
With Rhett Butler and Scarlet
In a dress I’d love to wear
Coming down those long steep stairs
And everybody knows your name
Cause the town just stays the same
And the deer come out to greet you if you try to drive a mile
Think I’m gonna stay here for awhile
Give this life a try
(Just like the movies)
(Just like the movies)
(Just like the movies)
Cause it’s just like the movies
With Rhett Butler and Scarlet
In a dress I’d love to wear
Coming down those long steep stairs
And everybody knows your name (Everybody knows your name)
Cause the town just stays the same
And the deer come out to greet you if you try to drive a mile
Think I’m gonna stay here for awhile (Just like the movies)
Give this life a try, (Just like the movies)
Stay here for awhile, (Just like the movies)
Give this live a try
Stay here for awhile, (Just like the movies)
Give this life a try
Oh I think I’ll stay awhile

Dont’ Think
You’re pretty eyes kept me safe from the pain
Kept me warm and so dry
From the rain in my mind
But now that you’re gone
I stand on my own
I know it’s just better
If I don’t think at all
So don’t think, Tomorrow will be better (Don’t think)
And don’t think, Cause only right now matters (Don’t think)
And don’t think, Simply just do what you can
To love who I am
And don’t think, don’t think at all (Don’t think at all)
I’m staring out the window Sunday morning
Your breath on my neck body so warm against mine
Life’s goin’ my way, and I hope it can last
But I’m livin’ for today, never lookin’ back
So don’t think, (Don’t Think)
Tomorrow will be better
And don’t think, (Don’t Think)
Cause only right now matters
And don’t think, (Don’t Think)
Simply just do what you can
To love who I am (love who I am)
And don’t think, don’t think at all
(Don’t Think, Don’t Think, Don’t Think, Don’t Think)
There was a time when I’d cry (Cry) myself to sleep every night (Night)
In bed every day with the sun (Sun)
(Cause thinkin’ was) Cause thinkin’ was (cause thinkin’ was) my enemy (my enemy)
And I let it get, (Let it get) the best of me (the best of me)
Til I learned to shut off
And not think at all
(Cause only right now matters)
(Don’t Think)
Don’t think, Tomorrow will be better
And don’t think, (Don’t think) Cause only right now matters
And don’t think, (Don’t Think)
Simply just do what you can (do what you can)
To love who I am (Love who I am)
And don’t think, don’t think at all (Don’t Think) (Don’t Think)

Missin’ You
When you were here
Life was as full as the moon
But like every good thing
It ended too soon
And I'm missin’ you
And I'm cryin’,
I'm sighin’
Deep inside
Feels like I'm dyin’
Cause I'm missing you so
Don't know how we let go
But here I stand all alone, missin’ you
When you were here
Life was bright as the sun
But like a summer’s endin’
The winter has come
And I'm missin’ you
And I'm cryin’,
I'm sighin’
Deep inside
Feels like I'm dyin’
Cause I'm missin’ you so
Don't know how we let go
But here I stand all alone,
Missin’ you
And I don't know why
For as hard as we tried
We just couldn't make it last
And I’m hatin’ these days
And hatin’ these nights
And hatin’ how our time has past
And I'm cryin’, (cryin’)
I'm sighin’ (sighin’)
Deep inside
Feels like I'm dyin’
Cause I'm missin’ you so
Don't know how we let go
But here I stand all alone,
Missin’ you (Missin’ you so, how we let go)
Missin’ you (Missin’ you so, how we let go)
Missin’ you (Missin’ you, Missin’ you)

Remedy
There are many ways to cheat on your lover
And honey you’re still cheatin’ on me
And now that our magic is over
It’s only a wizard I see
But you’ve enchanted my heart
I’m still under your spell
I’m trying hard to find a remedy
Cause I know I’m better off
Without a wizard in my heart
Anyway, you’re done cheatin’ me
And you never showed me your true heart
Always pretendin’ to be what you’re not
And now that I see through your smoke screen
I know I’m better off with us apart
But you’ve enchanted my heart
I’m still under your spell
I’m trying hard to find a remedy
Cause I know I’m better off
Without a wizard in my heart
Anyway, you’re done cheatin’ me
You can never be true
With a heart faded blue
You’re no wizard of magic and arts
You’re just a man
Whose broken my heart
But you’ve enchanted my heart
I’m still under your spell
I’m trying hard to find a remedy
Cause I know I’m better off
Without a wizard in my heart (anyway, you’re done cheatin’ me)
Anyway, you’re done cheatin’ me
Anyway, you’re done cheatin’ me

Dear Kiefer
Dear Kiefer
Thank you for your gift of grace
Dear Kiefer
Thank you for that time you made my heart feel safe
Dear Kiefer, (Dear Kiefer) thank you for showin’ me the way
Now you don’t know me
But you helped me escape for 24 hours of peace
Yeah I found you (Yeah I found you)
When I needed somethin’ new and some release
Somethin’ to make it through my days
Make all of that pain just go away,
For 24 hours at least
So Dear Kiefer
Thank you for your gift of grace
Dear Kiefer
Thank you for that time you made my heart feel safe
Dear Kiefer, (Dear Kiefer) thank you for showin’ me the way
Now I see you
Sitting there with that smoke ring ‘round your face
Guitar by your side,
Shot of whiskey just ready to taste
All those tattoos on your arms,
And scars deep in your heart
And true sultry eyes that admit
You’ve enjoyed all your mistakes
Now you’re just livin’ large
Livin’ on the road
Traveling around the world
With everywhere to go
You’ve got no time to waste
No regrets unless you hesitate
Followin’ your heart each and every day
And you’re still showin’ me the way
So Dear Kiefer,
Thank you for your gift of grace
Dear Kiefer
Thank you for the time you made my heart feel safe
Dear Kiefer, (Dear Kiefer) Thank you for showin’ me the way
(For 24 hours at least)
Yeah Dear Kiefer, (Dear Kiefer) Thank you for showin’ me the way

Freak Show
You might be tough, but you don’t know who you are
They talk about my mamma and they talk about my hair
Doesn’t even matter, cuz I don’t even care
I know who I am and I don’t get mad
They always talk trash, and here’s what they said:
You’re a freak show,
You’re a freak show,
Yeah, you’re a freak show,
You’re a freak show,
No matter where you go,
Yeah, you’re a freak show
I walked into the church, they’re all starin’ at me
They must’ve never seen a freak, not hard to believe
Don’t know what I said or what I did or why it was
But I heard the voice from the man up above,
Say you’re a freak show,
You’re a freak show,
Yeah you’re a freak show (freak show)
You’re a freak show
NO matter where you go,
Yeah, you’re a freak show (freak show)
You make me wanna throw up
Can’t do anything right
This is what they said
When I showed up that night
So I turned around,
No need to be there
But they followed me out,
And here’s what they said
You’re a freak show,
You’re a freak show,
You’re a freak show, (freak show)
You’re a freak show,
No matter where you go,
Yeah, you’re a freak show (freak show)
Now I’m sitting on the street, you honk your horn at me
Like you wanna start a fight, for all to see
With a bat in your hand you jump out of your car
But I just laugh at you, and keep playin’ my guitar
Cause you might be tough, but you don’t know who you are
But I’m a freak show,
I’m a freak show,
Yeah, I’m a freak show, (freak show)
I’m a freak show,
No matter where I go,
Yeah, I’m a freak show (freak show)
I’m a freak show,
I’m a freak show,
Yeah, I’m a freak show, (you might be tough but you don’t know who you are)
I’m a freak show,
No matter where I go,
I’m a freak show

Blizzard
Grey skies remind me
It’s a chill that still remains
Lookin’ out my window
I can feel it in my veins
Nose pressed against the glass
Watchin’ snowflakes fall
Time froze still the day you left
Still numb from it all
Snowflakes fall and I’m reminded of your face
Snowflakes fall I’m so damn lost in this place
Since you left my heart’s just a blizzard inside
Wish you’d find your way back home
Snow’s fallin’ tonight
Close my eyes
Just for a second I am there
Funny how this memory invades my head without a care
Touch of yesterday’s just a memory for the song
The season has changed
And life just goes on
Snowflakes fall and I’m reminded of your face
Snowflakes fall I’m so damn lost in this place
Since you left my heart’s just a blizzard inside
Wish you’d find your way back home
Snow’s fallin’ tonight
Time melts like snowflakes
So does love when it gets burned
Windows fog waitin’ for your lover to return
But if I could be a snowflake
I’d fall on you again
I miss you my love,
I miss you my friend
Snowflakes fall and I’m reminded of your face
Snowflakes fall I’m so damn lost in this place
Since you left my heart’s just a blizzard inside
Wish you’d find your way back home
Snow’s fallin’ tonight
Snow’s fallin’ tonight
Snow’s fallin’ tonight

New Memories
Maybe I’m dumb
Or maybe I’m numb
I just can’t think anymore
Baby it’s gone
All that’s left is this song
And some whiskey I’m ready to pour
But I’ll be alright
I gave my all to this fight
Now I have peace in my life
And I’ll be okay
Now that you’re out of my way
Tomorrow’s a brand new day
And I’ve got new memories to make
I walked in on you
And the new plans you made
Without me in your heart or your mind
I walked back outside
So you wouldn’t see me cry
You’re just not worth any of my time
And I’ll be alright
I gave my all to this fight
Now I have peace in my life
And I’ll be okay
Now that you’re out of my way
Tomorrow’s a brand new day
And I’ve got new memories to make
Remember the beach
Where we both were so free
Drinkin’ whiskey and tequila for fun
Remember the reach
Of your arms around me
A fantasy life in the sun
But now the rain has come
But I’ll be alright
I gave my all to this fight
Now I have peace in my life
And I’ll be okay
Now that you’re out of my way
Tomorrow’s a brand new day
And I’ll be alright
I gave my all to this fight
Now I have peace in my life
And I’ll be okay
Now that you’re out of my way
Tomorrow’s a brand new day
And I’ve got new memories to make
Got new memories to make
Got new memories to make
I’ve got new memories to make
Got new memories to make
New memories to make
I’ve got new memories to make
Got new memories to make
I’ve got new memories to make
Got new memories to make
I’ve got new memories to make

Jeannie Caryn Atlanta, Georgia
Jeannie Caryn found her way to her guitar as a means of escape. Raised in “Sin City,” Las Vegas, Nevada, she longed for something other than gambling, neon, or plastic to which she could surrender her soul. She is driven by her passion to capture and celebrate the human experience and make authentic connections through story and song. Someday, she'd love to see her name glowing in neon lights. ... more
