Chorus: It's raining in my head, it's storming in my eyes, I only wanna feel one time, there's no truth to those lies. Verse 1: You look at me like I'm some kinda fool - don't know who, you talked to, about what's cool. I just heard, what you think is been going on. can't anybody even get it wrong? Chorus: O-Oh, it's raining in my head, it's storming in my eyes, I only wanna feel one time, there's no truth to those lies. Verse 2: Some days, I just want to stand here and cry, I'll keep moving, I'll keep walking, until I die. I've gone too far, I'm in too deep to turn around. And even if you beat me, you won't knock me down. Chorus: O-Oh, it's raining in my head, it's storming in my eyes, I only wanna feel one time, there's no truth to those lies.

Cracked and Bent Verse: I aint cracked - I'm just bent... And I don't know if what you want honey is what I meant. I"m going down to the river - I'm gonna take myself one long drink this time.

I"m going down to the river - I'm gonna take myself one long look this time. I'm going down to be delivered - I'm gonna get myself together honey I aint lying. Chorus: And you know I aint lying - cause sometimes living means dying. And I see my mistakes - make it worth the price you pay honey before it's too late. Verse: I aint scared, I'm just a bit twisted - Well who it is you think I am, honey I think you missed it. I"m going down to the river - I'm gonna get myself one little piece this time. I'm going down to be delivered - I'm gonna keep on searchin' my soul until I find. I aint cracked, I'm just a bit twisted.

Ripped & Torn Verse 1: If nothing really mattered, would you look at things the same. Outside in the winter cold, or standing in the rain. Well every time I feel about this, empty heart of mine. I struggle just to find words but there's few words left to find. Chorus: It might be different, some other time. And I must remember this, or surely lose my mind. Verse 2: They never said it's easy, but I looked at it that way. I only wanna give my love, so don't take my love away. Ripped and torn, these blues are worn like a faded pair of jeans. Well lately I'm talking in my sleep and I don't know what that means. Chorus: It might be different, some other time. and I must remember this, or surely lose my mind. And I don't know why, I feel the way I do... cause if it were different, I would have never known you. LEAD Verse 3: Well lately things are better, but I needed it that way. I'll turn off all my feelings, and pretend that I'm ok. I know that I'm stronger now, and I know what I must do. But I can't walk away from this, never looking back at you. Chorus: It might be different, some other time. and I must remember this, or surely lose my mind. And I don't know why, I feel the way I do... cause if it were different, I would have never known you. And it might be different, some other time. and I must remember this, or surely lose my mind. And I don't know why, I feel the way I do... cause if it were different, I would have never known you.

Verse: I hear what you're saying… ...but I don't know what you need. All those games you played… ...left my soul to bleed. I don't know why you come here… ...in the middle of the night. But I know why you run away… ...you were much too torn to fight. Chorus: Don't bring me down - down to you… Don't push around - someone you put through. Don't stand there cryin’ - over lies you told… I never knew your lovin’ - could ever make me cold.

It Was A Good Time Verse: I took the long road, I had my reasons – Singing the same songs, pr-evoking treason. I was born with a passion, and I knew my calling – I've seen dreams lose their dreamers... I've seen lovers keep falling for love. Verse: I was the one with poison, I was the one in trouble - I was the one who needed, I felt sorry for ones not bleeding. I felt every bump in the pavement, I have the scares to prove it - I did not know where you're going - I just know that I blew you away. Chorus: It was a good time, we had much fun, in the sunshine and rain... I found God there, I learned to swear, and I'll never...have to throw it away, again, and again... have to throw it away, again, and again... Verse: I wish I could cry some days, I wish I could die sometimes - I've wanted to kill some people, because I knew where they came from. I carried signs and wore flowers, I stared in the mirror for hours, I even voted for Jesus, when I was too young to vote so there, and there, and there oh... Chorus: It was a good time, we had much fun, in the sunshine and rain... I found God there, I learned to swear, and I'll never...have to throw it away, again, and again... have to throw it away, again, and again... Verse: I took some wrong roads, I skipped on the highways - Waving my peace signs, flipped on some days. I've swallowed my anger, as I choked on my problems, I've tried helping losers, thank God I'm not lost anymore.... anymore....anymore.... Chorus: It was a good time, we had much fun, in the sunshine and rain... I found God there, I learned to swear, and I'll never...have to throw it away, again, and again... have to throw it away, again, and again…

about

Harkening back to Kelly's folk-rock days, Dig a Little Deeper was produced by Kiya Heartwood, of the '90s band Stealin' Horses, which was on the Arista label. Kelly played with Stealin' Horses for several years, touring and performing at Farm Aid. Engineered by Les Campbell, Dig a Little Deeper features songs written on acoustic guitar and recorded with a heavy rock influence, blending Richey’s electric and acoustic guitars. Nine of the 11 tracks were written by Kelly. Poignant but never self-pitying, they highlight Kelly at her most vulnerable. Terry Williamson delivers solid bass lines throughout, and Eric Maylaben rounds out the band with robust drumming that perfectly punctuates the tone and emotional feel of Richey’s songs. “It's Raining in My Head” depicts a relationship that loses its trust to lies. “You Can’t Stop Me from Cryin'” conveys the painful choice to express heartache rather than hide the pain. “Ripped and Torn” is about the inescapable longing for things to be different. Pensive and wistful, Dig A Little Deeper captures a lesser-known aspect of Richey’s roots, but also broadens her sound with the Americana-esque songs "Is Anybody Listening?" and "Cracked & Bent." This effort moves Richey forward musically while maintaining the integrity of her powerful vocals and guitar playing.
