    Mackenzie's POV

    I was nervous, to say the least. More nervous than I had been for anything in my life. American Idol. I had dreamed of this day for my whole life.
     Let's just say this wasn't a normal season. We didn't know if there were going to be more twists, all we knew was that duos were allowed this season. They weren't required, but they were allowed. They had never been allowed before.
    I wasn't part of a duo. It was just me. But that was fine. I knew I could win. With or without someone else.
    "Mackenzie Nicole Grace?" That was me.

I walk out into the room and try my hardest not to faint. Sitting at the table are Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie were sitting there. I decide to wave.
Nothing goes wrong when you wave. Right? Surely not. Maybe I'm just overthinking this. I smile and wave and Katy waves back.
I walk over and stand on the x. I turn my guitar and look at the black and white stripe and think about Daniel Seavey.
I look back up at the three and Luke speaks. "What's your name?" For a second I forgot. I don't know how. It's the thing I've known the longest. All of a sudden it comes back to me.
"Mackenzie Grace." I say and smile. They nod and write something down on their papers and I gulp.
"What song are you gonna sing?" I blink and take a deep breath.
"Last Name by Carrie Underwood." Luke smiles at the thought of it being country.
"Whenever you're ready." I take a deep breath and start strumming my guitar.

"Last night, I got served
A little bit too much
Of that poison baby

Last night I did things
I'm not proud of
And I got a little crazy

Last night I met a guy
on the dance floor.
And I let him call me baby.

And I don't even know
His last name
My momma would be so ashamed

Well it started out
"Hey cutie where ya from"
And then it turned into
"Oh no what have I done?"

And I don't even know
His last name.

We left the club
Right around 3:00.
In the morning.

His pinto, was sitting there
In the parking lot
Which should've been a warning

I had, no clue
What I was getting into
So I just blame it on
the quervo.

Oh where did my manners go?

And I don't even know his last name
My momma would be so ashamed
It started out "Hey cutie where ya from"
And then it turned into "oh no what have I done?"

And I don't even know his last name
Well here we go

Today, I woke up
Thinking bout Elvis somewhere in Vegas
I'm not sure how I got here
Or how this ring on my left hand just appeared

Outta no where I gotta go
I take the chips, and the pinto and hit the road.
They say what happens here stays here
All of this will disappear..

There's just one little problem..

I don't even know
My last name
My momma would be so ashamed

It started out
"Hey cutie where ya from?"
And then it turned into
"Oh no what have I done"

And I don't even know
My last name!

What have I done?
What have I done?
What have I done?
Oh what have I done?

I don't even know
My last name!

Well it turned into oh no what
have I done and I
Don't even know
My last name!

It started off
"Hey cutie where ya from?"
And then it turned into
"Oh no what have I done?"

And I don't even know
My last name.

Oh yeah."
