Bonnie Raitt, (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues/R&B singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt. Raitt began playing guitar at an early age, something not a lot of her high school girlfriends did. Later she would become famous for her bottleneck-style guitar playing. "I had played a little at school and at camp," she later recalled in a July 2002 interview. "My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby—nothing more...I think people must wonder how a white girl like me became a blues guitarist.

All at Once Lyrics
Bonnie Raitt
Had a fight with my daughter
She flew off in a rage
Third time this week
Dont tell me its the age
Dont know how I lost her
I only know that its a shame
Ever since her daddy left
The girl aint been the same.
Chorus
All at once I hear your voice
And time just slips away
Nothing they can say could hold me here
Take me where I only feel
The wind across my face
Let me know theres someplace left for me
Waiting just for me.
Ah, who am I kiddin
I should have known hed never leave
The time we spend together
Is harder than the time between
You wouldnt think it could hurt so
To see em out the other day
If thats what he calls leavin
I guess I threw it all away.
Chorus
They say women, were the stronger
Somehow we always make it through
Hell, that aint how I feel right now
I dont even think its true
Looks to me theres lots more broken
Than anyone can really see
Why the angels turn their backs on some
Is just a mystery to me.
