Good As Gone
Good As Gone - Written by Mark Luna & Richard Wold
I've been a victim of my own indecision
And it's hard to decide what I'm gonna do
I've been so blinded by my own lack of vision
That I can't see the sun when it's shinin' thru
Time to jump off this fence I've been straddlin'
Give up the worry of where I'll be landin'
Got a map up hangin' on the wall
And it's pointing me to anywhere at all
(chr)
I'm movin' on
I'm good as gone
Let there be no doubt, I'm checkin' out
Gonna try again
Gonna ride the wind
Find where I belong
I'm feelin' strong
I'm good as gone
Things can happen to change your way of thinkin'
When you, start second guessing your way around
You lose your faith until it finally sinks in
That a spirit lost can still be found
I'm gonna get off this fence I'm straddlin'
No need to worry about where I'll be landin'
Throw my bags in the back seat of the car
Turn the key and listen to my heart
(chr)
I'm movin' on
I'm good as gone
Let there be no doubt, I'm checkin' out
Gonna try again
Gonna ride the wind
Find where I belong
I'm feelin' strong
I'm good as gone
I'm movin' on
I'm feeling' strong
Repeat chorus

Love Might Change Your Mind
Love Might Change Your Mind
Written by Debbie Hennessey, Sunny Hilden & John DePatie
There he is, someone new,
Givin' you butterflies like he's meant for you
But you don't believe it, not quite yet,
Could he really be the one to help your heart forget?
chr:
You might think he's one love too late
You might think you dream is past its expiration date
You might think that bliss is so hard to find
But you might think again, 'cause love...might change your mind
Just imagine, the past is gone
How can it hurt you if you tell it to move on
Somebody's asking, for just one chance
Are you really ready to give up on romance?
chr:
You might think he's one love too late
You might think you dream is past its expiration date
You might think that bliss is so hard to find
But you might think again, 'cause love...might change your mind
bridge:
He could start your heart believin' again
And make you see it doesn't matter where you've been
chr:
You might think he's one love too late
You might think you dream is past its expiration date
You might think that bliss is so hard to find
But you might think again, 'cause love...might change your mind
'cause love, oh love...might change your mind

When Two Become One
When Two Become One - Written by Mark Luna & Terry Burns
Today the morning light
Was throwing colors on the wall
And you were right beside me
In the wonder of it all
Reaching through the window
The warm September sun
Showed us what could happen
When two become one
(chr)
I can feel our hearts beating slow and deep in rhythm to a distant drum
I can hear a magical, miracle as angels sing in unison
When two become one
Wrapped around your body
Brushing back your hair
Oh, the way you kiss me
Nothing can compare
And all our inhibitions
Slowly fade away
As we give ourselves to love
And let it lead the way
(chr)
I can feel our hearts beating slow and deep in rhythm to a distant drum
I can hear a magical, miracle as angels sing in unison
When two become one
When two become one
(chr)
I can feel our hearts beating slow and deep in rhythm to a distant drum
I can hear a magical, miracle as angels sing in unison
When two become one
Two become one

Lyrics
Every River
Every River - Written by Kim Richey, Angelo, Tom Littlefield
Once upon a time
Somewhere in your past
Someone said forever
But the promise didn't last
Now you don't believe
Love is ever true
You steal yourself against the day
When I stop loving you
(chr)
When the day comes that I don't love you
Every star will fall out of the sky
And every mountain will tumble down
And every river run dry
For every drop of rain
That ever touched the ground
For every tear that ever fell
And never made a sound
I'll be there
To hear you call
And I'll be there to catch you baby
Should you ever fall
(chr)
When the day comes that I don't love you
Every star will fall out of the sky
And every mountain will tumble down
And every river run dry
(chr)
When the day comes that I don't love you
Every star will fall out of the sky
And every mountain will tumble down
And every river run dry
Every river run dry

Looking In
Looking In - Written by Rye Randa
So long I held on to the memory
The time has come to let go of the misery
And I see heaven on the horizon
But it's so far away
(chr)
I'm looking in from the outside
Holding on to what's been gone so long
From the outside looking in
Holding on I'll break the chains of yesterday
Just be strong now is where I have to stay
And I see heaven in your eyes
But it's slipping away
(chr)
I'm looking in from the outside
Holding on to what's been gone so long
From the outside looking in
(br)
I don't want to wait for things to get better
And I don't want to wake from dreams of us being together
I don't need to wait for lightning to strike
The thunder's enough to keep me running away
(holding on to what's been gone so long)
From the outside looking in
(chr)
I'm looking in from the outside
Holding on to what's been gone so long
From the outside looking in

Keep It To Yourself
Keep It To Yourself - Written by Bob Dellaposta
You've never kept anything from me
But tonight is a good time to start
I don't wanna hear what's on your mind
If it's gonna break my heart
(chr)
Keep it to yourself I don't want to hear your reason
Keep it to yourself I'll go on believin
Keep it to yourself baby if you're leavin
Keep it to yourself
Let me find out later than sooner
Right now I don't want you to go
You can tell everyone but don't tell me
I wanna be the last to know
(chr)
Keep it to yourself I don't want to hear your reason
Keep it to yourself I'll go on believin
Keep it to yourself baby if you're leavin
Keep it to yourself
(br)
What's playin at the movies
Do you think it's going to rain
Whisper something good to me
Baby any bad news can wait
(chr)
Keep it to yourself I don't want to hear your reason
Keep it to yourself I'll go on believin
Keep it to yourself baby if you're leavin
Keep it to yourself

I'm Still Alive
I'm Still Alive - written by Matraca Berg & Al Anderson
Woke up this mornin' just another day
Got myself out of bed in the usual way
Threw back the curtains and the sun was shinin
Well it seems these days
I got such good timin
Since I let you go
(chr)
Guess I fooled everybody
Said I'd love you till the day that I die
Even if you didn't love me
Sorry baby, I guess I lied
You're gone and I'm still alive, oh yeah
I'm the kinda girl that never fails
To hang onto the past by my fingernails
And I can't help it even I'm amazed
At how much better they look
Painted in pink sorbet
What took me so long
To sing this song
(chr)
Guess I fooled everybody
Said I'd love you till the day that I die
Even if you didn't love me
Sorry baby, I guess I lied
You're gone and I'm still alive, oh yeah
(br)
I said goodbye and I survived
I'm still alive
Since I let you go
Well what do ya know
(chr)
Guess I fooled everybody
Said I'd love you till the day that I die
Even if you didn't love me
Sorry baby, I guess I lied
You're gone and I'm still alive, oh yeah

I Never Had A Prayer
I Never Had A Prayer - written by Mark Luna & Susan Longacre
I never had a prayer answered with a kiss
Till you brushed back my hair and leaned in close like this
I know where heaven is
And I never had a prayer open me so deep
Or strip my soul so bare as when I watch you sleep
A moment I will keep
(chr)
And I never had a prayer no my heart so well
Speak with such care till your sweet words fell
Whisper on my name caught me unaware
With such graceful aim
Oh, I never had a prayer
I never had a prayer break the lock and key
And find, so much trust in there and put such faith in me
it's so good to believe
(chr)
And I never had a prayer no my heart so well
Speak with such care till your sweet words fell
Whisper on my name caught me unaware
With such graceful aim
Oh, I never had a prayer
Oh, I never had a prayer
Oh, I never had a prayer

That's A Lie
That's A Lie - Written by Kim Richey & Tim Krekel
I let the porch light burn all night
'Til the early morning light
But you never did come by
And now you're calling me
Just to say you need
A little room to breathe
(chr)
Well that's a lie you tell yourself so I can't touch you
That's a lie to shut me out but it's not true
Can't you see you're not foolin' me a bit
Yeah, you can try to tell me you don't care but I know
That's a lie
Well you never will be free
If you let her memory
Get all tangled up with me
I'm sorry for you pain
But I won't take the blame
All women aren't the same
(chr)
Well that's a lie you tell yourself so I can't touch you
That's a lie to shut me out but it's not true
Can't you see you're not foolin' me a bit
Yeah, you can try to tell me you don't care but I know
That's a lie
You say you like to be alone
You do just fine all on your own
(chr)
Well that's a lie you tell yourself so I can't touch you
That's a lie to shut me out but it's not true
Can't you see you're not foolin' me a bit
Yeah, you can try to tell me you don't care but I know
That's a lie

Sounds Like Rain
Sounds Like Rain - Written by Debbie Hennessey, Sunny Hilden & John DePatie
The clock's ticking right next to my bed to start another day
Never noticed how loud it could be before you went away
I bet the sky outside is perfectly clear
The trees are whispering it's beautiful out there
(chr)
But to me it sounds like rain
Like my soul's lost in the eye of a hurricaine
To me every road is a memory lane
As the sun shines how I can explain
Every beat of my heart
Sounds like rain, sounds like rain
I hear the wind scatter the leaves on the porch outside the door
Reminds me that the seasons will change, a truth I can't ignore
I've got my friends convinced I seize the day just fine
The birds keep singin like they did when you were mine
(chr)
But to me it sounds like rain
Like my soul's lost in the eye of a hurricaine
To me every road is a memory lane
As the sun shines how I can explain
Every beat of my heart
Sounds like rain, sounds like rain
(br)
My guardian angel knows I'm full of needs
She's probably out there somewhere planting seeds
(chr)
But to me it sounds like rain
Like my soul's lost in the eye of a hurricaine
To me every road is a memory lane
As the sun shines how I can explain
Every beat of my heart
Sounds like rain, sounds like rain

Walking On A Wire
Walking Out On A Wire - Written by Eric Lowen, Dan Navarro & Rick Boston
Don't waste your breath
Don't waste my time
If I hear one more excuse I'll lose my mind
It's been a quiet war
Behind closed doors
Ain't it getting hard to keep your balance anymore
(chr)
Walking on a wire
Higher and higher
You told the truth but you're still a liar
Walking on a wire
You deal in black and white
And everything in-between
You were blessed with such finesse I almost know what you mean
Now I could close my eyes
Pretend to let it pass
But you leave on borrowed time and it would never last
(chr)
Walking on a wire
Higher and higher
You told the truth but you're still a liar
Walking on a wire
Walking on a wire
Higher and higher
You told the truth but you're still a liar
Walking on a wire
(br)
And how does it feel with the whole world watching
Do you feel like you're gonna fall
Was it safer with your back up against the wall
And why did you try when you knew you were losing
Just one mistake and you'll lose it all
Don't waste your breath
Don't waste my time
If I hear one more excuse I'll lose my mind
(chr)
Walking on a wire
Higher and higher
You told the truth but you're still a liar
Walking on a wire
Walking on a wire
Higher and higher
You told the truth but you're still a liar
Walking on a wire

That's Some Kind Of Love
That's Some Kind Of Love - Written by Renee Carly
Love appears right on time
When you're not looking for somebody new
And you proved that when you showed up
Right out of the blue
You stepped in and changed the scenery
You put a little curve into my destiny
And honey, if you don't mind, let me tell you baby
(chr)
That's some kind of love
You wrapped around my heart so tenderly
That's some kind of love
You got goin' on, goin' on with me
No longer alone with my broken heart
My tears left suddenly
Mmm, when I reach for you in the middle of the night
You're always there for me
Your love's a perfect harmony
The only one that makes my heart sing
And, in my eyes I hope you always see, how I feel for ya baby
(chr)
That's some kind of love
You wrapped around my heart so tenderly
That's some kind of love
You got goin' on, goin' on with me
That's some kind of love
That's some kind of love
That's some kind of love
And I pray we'll always be together
And I'll always have a reason to say
(chr)
That's some kind of love
You wrapped around my heart so tenderly
That's some kind of love
You got goin' on, goin' on with me
That's some kind of love
That's some kind of love
That's some kind of love
That's some kind of love

Some Reviews: "Hennessey's bold, husky delivery puts its imprint on her material, whose catchy hooks and spot-on arrangements show she knows her stuff and is surrounded by pro-calibre talent. Hennessey is a skilled artist whose polished work commands respect." - Music Connection
"Good As Gone is rock solid country-pop...undeniably hooky...(Hennessey's) collection of Nashville-ready tunes serves as a wake-up call to radio programmers everywhere. Somebody sign this girl!" - Buddy Hollywood
"Los Angeles-based country-rocker Debbie Hennessey can sing the shingles off a barn...her voice is magnificent..." - Michael Scott Cain, Rambles
“Good As Gone” is an appealing, uptempo country song, which provides a terrific showcase for Hennessey’s rich, distinctive vocals. Hennessey has a voice which sounds authentic and soulful…” – Singer Universe
“Debbie’s unique singer/songwriter artistry carries a comfortable strength in her solid vocal performance and interpretations… known for her solid stage performance, the tracks chosen on (Rustic Heart) are sure fire hits played live. (Rustic Heart) has several tracks written by other songwriters but Debbie's presence delivers each songs lyrics as a story all her own.” - Toni K, Songsalive!
“First cd (Rustic Heart) from a remarkably original artist… that inimitable flavor of country/rock/soul… of those visionaries who unanimously unite critical and broad audiences. The Album of the Month without hesitation.” - Le Cri du Coyote
Her unique voice adds a special soul to tunes that are good on their own merit, but Debbie's vocals are a breath of fresh air. It shows that Debbie puts her heart and soul into her craft. A truly solid effort from a wonderful performer”. - Rikk’s Revues
“Hennessey's excellent album, Rustic Heart, has more than a few nice things going for it. Among them: great material, a lovely voice and terrific production by Rye Randa. It's a true indie album, yet it sounds as well-crafted as most tracks you hear on the airwaves. As the title suggests, there is a bit of country in these eight songs of love and/or heartache.” - The G-Man, NoHoLA Magazine
