Mary Gauthier (born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana) is an American folk singer/songwriter. At age 15, she ran away from home and stole her parents' car, and spent the next several years in detox, halfway houses, and living with friends; she spent her 18th birthday in jail. These experiences provided fodder for her songwriting later on (particularly her song "Drag Queens in Limousines"). Later on, she enrolled at Louisiana State University as a philosophy major, but after five years there, dropped out due to drug problems and moved to Boston. After working waitress jobs and eventually being promoted to manager of the restaurant where she worked, financial backers paid her way to attend the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts and she opened a Cajun restaurant in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood, "Dixie Kitchen" (also the title of her first album).

Honey sit down,
I've got something to say.
Last night I drowned,
I got carried away.
Swept up in the feelings,
The words poured out of me.
This morning I'm scared,
I don't know how to be.
My heart moves
With the morning sun.
It's not ready
To set for anyone
When I said I love you
It was a slip of the tongue.
I didn't lie
But it wasn't the truth
I know it's not right
But what can I do
My memories hold me
They never let me go
There's someone on my mind
And I think you should know
My heart moves
With the morning sun.
It's not ready
To set for anyone
When I said I love you
It was a slip of the tongue.
Love is more than a feeling
It's a way of living everyday
