Though absent from the U.S. country charts since 1990, she still continues to record and perform, having most recently released three independently recorded albums, Wild Horse Crossing on Shop Records in 1999; The Last Wild Place, on Song Dog Records in 2004; and her 2010 self-released Here's To Hank available on her website www.lacyjdalton.com.

When asked about her musical influences, she replied: "Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Kris Kristofferson, Guy Clark, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Janis Joplin, Robert Johnson, Karen Dalton, Fred Koller, Big Mama Thorton, Billie Holliday, Hank Williams, Sr., Tammy Wynette and J.J. Cale."

I've been pushed, shoved
on the short end of a good love
so down an lonely
I had to cry
I've seen my dreams break
felt my heart ache
sometimes living
only not to die
honey its alright
gonna tell you that its alright
I'm a survivor
gonna make it through
I've had to play tough
been thrown a lot of hard stuff
I'm a survivor
doing what i gotta do
I know I can make it through
(instrumental)
tonight I'm running
my heart is crumbling
this night air chills me
i get so cold
dawn is a new day
somethings coming my way
where its gonna take me
I just don't know
honey its alright
gonna tell you thats its alright
Im a survivor
gonna make it through
I've had to play tough
been thrown a lot of hard stuff
I'm a survivor
doing what I gotta do
I know I can make it through
Hey its alright
gonna tell you that its alright
I'm a survivor
gonna make it through, yeah
I've had to play tough
been thrown a lot of hard stuff
I'm a survivor
doing what I gotta do
