Better Luck Next Time is the first full-length album by Ashtyn Barbaree. This is a collection of songs written between 2018 and 2020.

Love & Special Sauce, The Arcs, Dan Auerbach) and Tommy Hannum (of Steve Earle, Wynonna Judd).

about
I wrote I'll Be There at an artist residency in New York City. Touring and traveling creates a necessity for trust and connection with your loved ones from a distance, this song reflects that sentiment.
lyrics
instrumental: G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C#
G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C# x2
Is it something in the water
That makes you sound like that
Or is it all the cornbread
You’ve had in your time
G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C# x2
Pull me a little bit closer
I want to hold your hand
I won’t mind if this lasts forever
Just you and I
D#, C#, G# x4
And when you wake in the morning
I’ll be there
And if you wake in the evening
I'll be there too
When i’m not beside you
I’m always thinking of you this way
When i’m not beside you
I’m only a phone call away
Instrumental: G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C#
G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C# x2
Is it something in your walking
That makes you look like that
Or your dreams and lost inhibitions
That caught my eye
G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C# x2
Show me what we’re all made of
I want to know my dear
I won’t mind if we talk all night
Just you and I
D#, C#, G# x4
And when you wake in the morning
I’ll be there
And if you wake in the evening
I’ll be there too
When i’m not beside you
I’m always thinking of you this way
When i’m not beside you
I’m only a phone call away
Instrumental: G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C#
G#, G, A#m, C#, G#, G, C# x2
Is it something in the water
That makes you sound like that
Or is it all the cornbread
You’ve had in your time
