About Kat:
The great Bob Dylan once said, “ you don’t just wake up one day and decide you need to write songs.” This quote rings true for the up and comer, Kat Hasty. As a child, before she knew how to put words on paper, she was singing and writing music. Born and raised in west Texas, her upbringing pours through her songwriting in tales of desert highways and the hustle and bustle of oil towns. Laced with heartache, joy, loss and female angst, her songs are ingenious and uniquely her own. The songwriter released her EP, “Drowning in Dreams” earlier this March and has seen support from all over the country. Talented and motivated, she is set to begin a long career sharing her stories and growing into the performer that she is fated to be.

Lyrics:
When I started I was seventeen
Fell in love with a man that didn't love me
So, I've been breaking hearts trying to fill the spot he left empty
Started back when I was naive loved him with every part of me
Can’t be the woman that I should be
Cheap thrills and cheaper dreams
On a highway with no name, we're all high on Mary Jane
And I bummed one cigarette, but now I'm smoking like a train
Got a man from Oklahoma, and I told him that I loved him
But I was born for leaving, I'll be gone in the morning
Now I'm tired and I'm alone
But it's been so long this is all I know
And it kills me what his pictures show
He's better off on his own
Memory from his beaten path
Memory that'll never last
And he is everything that I have ever known
On a highway with no name, we're all high on Mary Jane
And I bummed one cigarette, but now I'm smoking like a train
Got a man from Oklahoma, and I told him that I loved him
But I was born for leaving, I'll be gone in the morning
Just when I think that I'm over it
It comes in the form of a sleepless night
Just when I think that I'm moving on
Comes in the form of a heartache song
Just when I think that I'm over it
It comes in the form of a cocaine habit
Just when I think that I'm moving one
It comes in the form of a heartache song
On a highway with no name, we're all high on Mary Jane
And I bummed one cigarette, but now I'm smoking like a train
Got a man from Oklahoma, and I told him that I loved him
But I was born for leaving, I'll be gone in the morning
