10 Song Demo is a 1996 album by Rosanne Cash, produced by her husband, John Leventhal. The album, her first for Capitol Records after having left Columbia, her label for fourteen years, included mostly stripped down acoustic tracks. Despite the album's title, it actually contains eleven songs, not ten. The song "The Summer I Read Collette" was a tribute to French novelist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette. Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt would later cover the song "Western Wall", including it on their 1999 collaboration Western Wall: The Tucson Sessions.

10 Song Demo
by: Rosanne CashIf I were a man. I'd be so sweet. I'd give me everything I need. I'd be so glad to go this deep, If I were a man.
If I were the moon, I'd hang so low. I'd bring sweet love to all below. I wouldn't change and hurt you so, If I were the moon.
Well it goes on and on forever, and there's just no way to know. I can change just like the weather, I'm solid as a stone.
If I were the wind, I'd blow and shout. I'd clean our souls and bodies out. I'd shake the memories from this house, If I were the wind.
If I were God, I guess I'd know. I guess my friend's would tell me so. It would be a heavy line to tow, If I were God.
Well, it goes on and on forever, and there's just no way to know. I can change just like the weather. I'm as solid as a stone.
Repeat last verse.
If I were a man, I'd be so sweet. I'd give me everything I need. I'd be so glad to this deep. I'd change the way the whole world thinks.
If I were a man....if I were a man
