Biography

Mindy McCready's debut album, Ten Thousand Angels, elevated her into Nashville's music spotlight and established her as a promising singer. Born and raised in southern Florida, McCready (born Malinda Gayle McCready) graduated from high school at the age of 16 with the intention of beginning her musical career early. Following her graduation, she took a part-time job in her mother's ambulance company and began concentrating on performing her music. When she was 18 years old, she moved to Nashville. She had made her mother a promise that she would go to college if she failed to break into the music industry within the space of a year. After a few months in Nashville, she met producer/songwriter Norro Wilson, who directed her demo tapes to producer David Malloy. Impressed with her tapes, Malloy agreed to work with McCready. For the next year, McCready and Malloy refined the singer's style and crafted a high-class demo tape. Eventually, Malloy took the tape to RLG Records, who signed McCready after seeing her perform a live concert; she completed the deal exactly 51 weeks after she moved to Nashville.

    Lyrics
    Got in this morning at 4 a.m.
    You're as mad as you can be
    Well, I was drinking and talking and you know how that goes
    Time just slipped away from me
    By the time I knew what time it was

    Lyrics
    The first thing I did when you said "Goodbye"
    Was sit myself down and have a real good cry
    The next thing I did was put my red dress on
    And go downtown dancing till the break of dawn
    A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do

    Lyrics
    I bought a new red dress to lift my spirits up
    And just like you did, honey, it cost me way too much
    Next time you see me, I'll bet you'll take a second look
    You'll wonder why I look so good
    You'll never know how much I miss you, you won't see it in my face

    Lyrics
    I can be tough, I can be tender
    Strong as a saint, weak as a sinner
    When I'm in your arms I'm so complete
    You bring out what's inside of me
    A woman with a mind, body with a soul
    All That I Am - (3:23)  -  1,115 plays
