It Hurts Me 03:24
It Hurts Me 9/25/07 I try not to think about the new guy and you Or all of the trouble that I put you through I may not know where you are but I know where you’ve been And it hurts me yes it hurts me when you’re lovin’ him It hurts me yes it hurts me when you’re lovin’ him And how I wish I could see you again With your hair so long Tell you exactly how I feel I’ve come a long long way to sing you this song As I tried to figure out why you would not stay Someone older tempted you and took you away I wish that I was dreamin’ but what can I do It hurts me yes it hurts me when he’s loving you It hurts me yes it hurts me when he’s loving you And how I wish I could see you again With your hair so long Tell you exactly how I feel I’ve come a long long way to sing you this song And how I wish I could see you again With your hair so long Tell you exactly how I feel I’ve come a long long way to sing you this song To sing you this song To sing you this song To sing you this song All Rights Reserved, © 2007 Scott Ballard Music

Cocaine Queen Sept 2006 It’s 5 AM and here I am humpin’ on Katie Jeanne And I’ve come here to testify she can get it on real mean And even though she’s on the blow I’m thinkin’ that I’m in love And even though she’s doin’ Joe I call her my turtle dove Cocaine queen, Cocaine Queen She might be easy and a little mean Cocaine Queen, Cocaine Queen She looks like a stripper if you know what I mean Now I’ve heard it round from all my friends tellin’ me what to do That I should dump that coke head slut so she can do them too The other night she came out with all of her stripper friends And left her two kids all alone so she could be getting’ ins’ (Chorus) What I didn’t say is I hate drugs so that makes me a hypocrite And I keep thinkin’ sex is love so I can keep getting it The moral of the story goes please listen to what I say If you find yourself a coke head slut just turn around and walk away (Chorus x2) All Rights Reserved © 2006, Scott Ballard Music

Cars 02:46
Cars (Intro) Cars are something useful and cars are something nice But there aint nothing better than riding on my bike And if you’ve got yourself a nice one well that’s ok with me But I’d rather you not drive it just so that I can breathe (Chorus) And a car don’t mean a thing if you’re walkin If it’s hot and you are walkin better get out of the sun Better get down to that river and have yourself some fun Better quit all your complaining and let me tell you why If it doesn’t ever kill you it won’t ever make you die (Chorus) If you’re a pretty lady and you want those buns of steel Better get yourself out walkin and tell me how you feel Cause cars are temporary but feet are here to stay And if cars were run by horses then we’re better off that way (Chorus) (Chorus reprise) Car don’t mean a thing If you got good shoes Car don’t mean a thing If you got the blues Car don’t mean a thing If you don’t have hair Car don’t mean a thing If you just don’t care A car don’t mean a thing if you’re walkin All Rights Reserved © 2002, Scott Ballard Music

A Song for Amy April 2007 Even though it’s been rough I think it’s enough To say that life’s been good to me Some others might see it a little bit different But that’s ok with me It’s been a long time since I gave a damn About what a woman might think of me So it might be you’re exactly what I needed Showin’ me what I could not see (Chorus) I know that I just met you But I still have this to say You’re a very special woman Help me see the light that’s comin’ my way A very special woman Help me see the light that’s comin’ my way Second verse harder than the first Cause there’s not as much cool to say But since I met you I’ve been thinkin’ Bout that time and every day I get down on my knees and say a little somethin’ For the people needing help today And I do believe things are getting’ better And you really brighten up my day (Chorus) I know that I just met you But I still have this to say You’re a very special woman Help me see the light that’s comin’ my way A very special woman Help me see the light that’s comin’ my way A very special woman Help me see the light that’s comin’ my way All Rights Reserved © 2007, Scott Ballard Music

Kicked In the Britches April 2007 Lord why do you let them hurt me? I’m so confused it’s hard to see I love the ladies and their bodies But man their minds are sure not lovin’ me I love the ladies and their bodies All kinds are good I do agree But I want one that wants to hold me And one who likes getting sweet kisses from me Ooooo Ooooo I’ve been kicked in the britches again Ooooo Ooooo I’ve been kicked in the britches again I sit and think about a new love Sometimes it really gets to me I love the ladies and their bodies But talkin’ to them is just too hard for me I love the ladies and their bodies But wear my heart upon my sleeve So they think that it is for certain That there may be too much freak in me Ooooo Ooooo I’ve been kicked in the britches again Ooooo Ooooo I’ve been kicked in the britches again Ooooo Ooooo I’ve been kicked in the britches again All Rights Reserved © 2007, Scott Ballard Music

Look Away 02:23
Look Away July 2006 It’s been awhile that you have been gone And I’ve had a long time for singin’ this song I’ve had some bad days and let you get to me But now I have good ones and many to be Look away, look away, look away, look away Look away if you don’t like what you see Cause I’ll be on the lookout for you and your dark shadow And I will be everything I wanted to be Yes I will be everything I wanted to be (bridge) And now you’re alone You won’t get no bone For the doggies have moved in with me, yeah The doggies have moved in with me. Look away, look away, look away, look away Look away if you don’t like what you see Cause I’ll be on the lookout for you and your dark shadow And I will be everything I wanted to be Yes I will be everything I wanted to be Yes I will be everything I wanted to be All Rights Reserved © 2006, Scott Ballard Music

about

A singer songwriter - self produced record. I would say that most of the songs on this record are sarcastic and sad, but full of heart. That's why I call it From My Heart and Other Places. I lost pretty much everything at some point in life, having to do with a failed family and marital relationship - so these are for the most part, break up songs, dedicated to that. Some of the material was written while Pennsylvania for a couple months. The rest was written downtown Sacramento, California. Instrumentation - acoustic guitars, ukulele, random percussion, a little organ, one piano ballad and tons of melody and harmony. I hope you enjoy it!
