Took a train, a runaway, to go where I could go To blow away the memories of smoke Took a train, a runaway, to go where I could go To blow away, before I choke Then I saw her face, in my place Yeah I saw her face, in my place Went downtown to look around, to see what I could see To go the places other souls do go Went downtown to look around, to see what I could see To trace the path of what normal would be Then I saw her face, in my place Yeah I saw her face, in my place It was not a nice way to see what I had to see, It was not a nice way to see Then I saw her face, in my place Yeah I saw her face, in my place It was not a nice way to see what I had to see, It was not a nice way to see It was a nice way Not a nice way to see

(Only one, only one personal item can be carried on) I have a personal problem, can I carry it on I have a personal friend, but he’s taking it wrong I have a person watermelon, got it on the seat Don’t start saying that the overhead is only meant for smaller bags and stuff that means nothing to me (Only one, only one personal item can be carried on) You read an advice column advising a move You flew farther and farther, said the airplane’s smooth Now I’m paying a visit but it’s hard to speak Don’t start saying that the overhead is only meant for smaller bags and stuff that means nothing to me (The overhead is only meant for smaller…) Don’t start saying that the overhead is only meant for smaller bags and stuff that means nothing to me Finally landing and the seat belt sign is almost off and the overheads are open and we’re standing and I hope you're out there waiting so I can hand you this fruit that traveled with me (eerie walking)

Cowboy Woman 03:23
Well can you find someone to take care of my children There’s really no one else just like me I’d like to stick around but I’m not staying in this town I just can’t seem to fill their every need Grab me beer, point me to the steer Cuz I’m a cowboy woman The land is open wide, gonna take me some hide Cuz I’m a cowboy woman Move over Jack, I’ve been and back. Cuz I’m a cowboy woman I’ve handled the rope, this is not a joke I’m a cowboy woman Well can you find someone to end this helpless feeling There’s really no one else there for me I’d like to rest awhile but that’s really not my style I don’t want you to get ahead of me Grab me beer, point me to the steer Cuz I’m a cowboy woman The land is open wide, gonna tear me some hide Cuz I’m a cowboy woman Move over Jack, I’ve been and back. Cuz I’m a cowboy woman Gonna handle the rope, this is not a joke Cuz I’m a cowboy woman I’m a cowboy, I’m a cowboy … Now I find myself without this love I’m needing There’s really no one else left for me Just to have the time, to get back what was mine But there’s no going back, now I see No going back, now I see I’m a cowboy

I’m in search of a piece of my heart, the one you took on Sunday I’m in search of a piece of my heart, the part you stole in one day It’s goin' round and round and round and round in my head That’s right a piece went missing, that night I saw you kissing her I need the part and some glue, need it back from you I’m in search of the piece of my heart, to put it back together I’m in search of the piece of my heart, the part you’ll keep forever It’s goin' over and over and over again That night I saw you kissing her I knew you weren’t a missin' me I need the part and some glue, need it back from you

Muscovy Mine 03:36
In Russia we ate only bread and salt In Russia it wasn’t our fault In Russia all we do In Russia hold our dreams a little longer Only the warmth of strangers keeps you here (Muscoy mine) Feels like heart beat harder when they’re near (Muscoy mine) In Russia with every river is black In Russia nothing, no choice In Russia hold your breath a little longer I hope the warmth of strangers keep you here (Muscoy mine) I feel my heart beat harder when you’re here (Muscoy mine) And did the warmth of strangers keep you here? I feel your heart beat harder when I’m here

A faded anorak half hanging on a door Sliding over tiles that mended up a floor And under a saucer, a picture of daughter Holding a memory of all, all that you taught her Someone hear a creaking twig on a window pane Someone walked the path that led down a lonely lane Sister and brother, arm in another Kicking a stone into a hole and calling for mother Billy Indian they carry you away Billy Indian yesterday Yellow rose, yellow rose by the telephone Billy Indian they never left you alone Oh no She sent you a letter, that said to forget her Only the memories, will make you feel better Billy Indian they carried you away Billy Indian yesterday Yellow rose, yellow rose by the telephone Billy Indian they never left you alone (traditional) She’s a good old worker and good old pal 15 miles on the Erie Canal I’ve got a mule, her name is Sal 15 miles on the Erie Canal Down the river, oh down the river, oh down the river we go Down the river, oh down the river, oh down the Ohio

“Suzy Callahan imbues “Maybe” with more mystery and complex emotions and offbeat observations than entire albums by many artists…Fans of Edith Frost will definitely find much to love in Callahan’s catalog.” - Queen City Sounds and Arts Blog.
