Right now I live in a trailer out in West Texas. I've been writin' songs and stayin' clean and sober. I kinda had a run in with the chiched rock star life. I mean I'm a country girl at heart, but I love rock 'n' roll - always have. Yeah - I guess you could say I was a wild child - until recently. I'm livin in this trailer park - layin' low. I had a band - but I wised up and decided I had to get my life together if I was even going to make it past the age of 27. When they say "party like a rock star", you just have no idea how crazy it gets. My band was somethin - let me tell you. We toured internationally. Twice. Then we broke up - it's my fault. I couldn't take the partyin anymore. Something inside me woke up. I told my bandmates I had to go away for a little while - to sober up and get down to what's really important. I have a man....had...maybe he'll come out to see me. Another rocker - so me bailin on the party scene means honey doesn't have me to get drunk and wild with anymore. I told him he needs to come out here and get off the drink as well. Get off the stuff for good. I miss all of it and everyone, but I started writing some really powerful songs. And I'm finding an innocence in me that I never knew was there. I'm goin on 3 months of sobriety. Almost makes me wanna celebrate with a Corona and a lime. Of course I won't, but like the title of one of my newest songs, I've got the Wild Woman Blues. Guess I'll celebrate with some Earl Grey. Yep....I'm livin the posh life in this trailer park. I'm 27, but I feel like I'm goin' on 40. It's the tea...and all the cigarettes. I'm wantin to quit - and I will - but I gotta tackle one addiction at a time. All the while, I'm focusing on my next album. It's goin' Gold.
