Barefoot Beauty
Featured on Kristine Wriding’s “Just The Beginning” Album
Written by: K. Wriding and K. Weise
Verse 1:
She always knew where she was grown
Cuz dirt was painted between her toes
Like roots planted deep in the farm land
Barefoot Beauty
Verse 2:
The feel of freedom pulsed through her veins
Not afraid to take chances was wild and untamed
The world was a game she couldn’t wait to play
Barefoot Beauty
Chorus:
I can almost hear her now
A distant voice calling out to me
Reminding me what it’s like
To feel again, feel alive and carefree
How I yearn to be the girl I used to be
Barefoot Beauty
Verse 3:
Somewhere between whispers, doubts and the lies
Lost who I was just livin’ to survive
Wanna stop the clock, go back and find
Barefoot Beauty
Chorus:
I can almost hear her now
A distant voice calling out to me
Reminding me what it’s like
To feel again, feel alive and carefree
How I yearn to be the girl I used to be
Barefoot Beauty
Bridge:
Can’t go live in the past
But I can bring the past back
Chorus:
I can almost hear her now
A distant voice calling out to me
Reminding me what it’s like
To feel again, feel alive and carefree
How I yearn to be the girl I used to be
I can feel her coming back to me
Barefoot Beauty
Live, Laugh, Love

Written by: Kristine Wriding and Andrew Plan
Verse 1:
Always wished my life was like the silver screen
But lately I’ve been finding that ain’t reality
I’m just racin’ that clock, pressin’ my luck
Losin’ my mind trying to keep my chin up
Sayin’ later, I’ll have the time
But in life, there’s no rewind
Chorus:
I’m gonna live a little more, enjoy my life
Savor every breath, not feel bad for wastin’ time
Laugh till tears stream down my face
Make treasured memories, slow the pace
Love till my heart can’t give no more
Share all of myself like I’ve never done before
I’m Gonna Live, Gonna Laugh, Gonna Love
I’m Gonna Live, Gonna Laugh, Gonna Love
Verse 2:
Gonna take a chance on love, say what I feel
Stop faking a smile and let myself be real
Step away from the ones who bring me down
Put happiness first, make every moment count
Cuz time keeps slippin’ away
So why should I play it safe
Chorus:
I’m gonna live a little more, enjoy my life
Savor every breath, not feel bad for wastin’ time
Laugh till tears stream down my face
Make treasured memories, slow the pace
Love till my heart can’t give no more
Share all of myself like I’ve never done before
I’m Gonna Live, Gonna Laugh, Gonna Love
I’m Gonna Live, Gonna Laugh, Gonna Love
Bridge:
No more laters, I’m taking time
Chorus:
I’m gonna live a little more, enjoy my life
Savor every breath, not feel bad for wastin’ time
Laugh till tears stream down my face
Make treasured memories, slow the pace
Love till my heart can’t give no more
Share all of myself like I’ve never done before
I’m Gonna Live, Gonna Laugh, Gonna Love
I’m Gonna Live, Gonna Laugh, Gonna Love
Yeah, Yeah
Live, Laugh, Love
Can’t Help But Love You
Featured on Kristine Wriding’s “Just The Beginning” Album
Written by: Kristine Wriding
Verse 1:
When I wake up in the mornin’
You’re the first thing I see
There’s nothin’ better
Than you next to me
Pre-Chorus:
We’re tangled in the sheets
Sunlight dances across our legs
This ring on my left-hand means
A whole lot more than I can say
Chorus:
Cuz I can’t help but love you
Oh darlin’, if you only knew
How completely I’m consumed
With every little thing that you do
Oh, I can’t help but love you
When I’m broken, you’re the glue
No one gets me, the way you do
Oh I can’t help, No I can’t help, but love you
Ba-da-ba-boy it’s you
Verse 2:
When life gets the best of me
Words are exchanged and we fight
The void that’s between us
Keeps me up all night
Pre-Chorus:
But then up comes the sun
And with it a brand-new day
We know life ain’t no fairytale
It’s all about the give and take
Chorus:
Cuz I can’t help but love you
Oh darlin’, if you only knew
How completely I’m consumed
With every little thing that you do
Oh, I can’t help but love you
When I’m broken, you’re the glue
No one gets me, the way you do
Oh I can’t help, No I can’t help, but love you
(Instrumental)
Ooo-ooo-ooo
mmm-mmmm
Ooo-ooo
Chorus:
And I can’t help but love you
Oh darlin’, if you only knew
How completely I’m consumed
With every little thing that you do
Oh, I can’t help but love you
When I’m broken, you’re the glue
No one gets me, the way you do
Oh I can’t help, No I can’t help, but love you
Ooo-ooo
Oh I can’t help myself
Mmm-mmm
Yeah, yeah
A Night Like This
Featured on Kristine Wriding’s “Just The Beginning” Album
Written by: Kristine Wriding and Kristen Graves
Verse 1:
This big city life, has got a hold on me
Trapped between walls of heat and concrete
Climbin’ that ladder to what the world calls success
I remember a time I was happier with less
Pre-Chorus:
So today I put it all on hold
Packed my bags, and headed home
To the place I once ran wild and carefree
As I lay in the cool damp grass
Stare at the stars and take a breath
Memories come flooding back to me
Chorus:
On a night like this, my life feels easy
I understand who I am more deeply
A night like this I wish I could bottle up and take with me
Hold onto these memories of this place that shaped me
On a night like this
Verse 2:
Laughin’ with Momma and Daddy ‘round a warm bonfire
The love they share, I’ve always admired
The cool night breeze, kisses my cheek
Hear the sound of water dancing down the old cripple creek
Pre-Chorus:
This is where I was born and raised
It’s in my blood, my DNA
And will always be the biggest part of me
The best place to renew my soul
Family and friends to make me whole
Calms my troubled mind and brings me peace
Chorus:
On a night like this, my life feels easy
I understand who I am more deeply
A night like this I wish I could bottle up and take with me
Hold onto these memories of this place that shaped me
On a night like this
Bridge:
So, love what you have before life teaches you to love what you’ve lost
Oh, love what you have, hold onto yourself, no matter the cost
Chorus:
On a night like this, my life feels easy
I understand who I am more deeply
A night like this I wish I could bottle up and take with me
Hold onto these memories of this place that shaped me
On a night like this
Outro:
Oh, a night like this
On a night like this
