lyrics

Okay, I’ll admit I’ve never been the best at this
But let me get it off my chest
Your love and gratitude it comes with strings attached to you
And I’m swinging from the nest

Cause I want it all till I feel the fall
Am I nothing more than skin and bones?
Oh, I want it all till I feel the fall
Am I nothing more than skin and bones?

Let’s play a little game, let’s review all our mistakes
We never made it through the race
Nothing to do with you, a thousand versions of the truth
And nothing left to say

Cause we want it all till we feel the fall
Are we nothing more than skin and bones?
Oh, we want it all till we feel the fall
Are we nothing more than skin and bones?

When your crown is tumbling down and you can’t see straight
I would pick you up and put you back in the game
With fire, fire in the sky and ashes in my face
Would you dust me off and put me back in the race?

Cause we want it all till we feel the fall
Are we nothing more than skin and bones?
We want it all till we feel the fall
Are we nothing more than skin and bones? (fire, fire in the sky)
Don’t we want it all till we feel the fall?
Are we nothing more than skin and bones? (fire, fire in the sky)
(Want it all) Don’t we want it all till we feel the fall?
Are we nothing more than skin and bones? (nothing more than skin and bones)

Denim & Diamonds
by Nikki Lane

supported by 4 fans who also own “Skin and Bones”

I am not really an expert in today's country music. I know and appreciate Sheryl Crow or the Dixie Chicks, but that's it more or less. NIKKI LANE's rocking style with a decent rough edge fits quite well to this "strong women" references. Several songs are catchy and always welcome on my soft music playlists, check for example "First High", "Born Tough" or "Black Widow". H.L.
