USED TO BE MY GIRL


Good lovin, girls got plenty good lovin
Ask me how I know and I will tell you so
You used to be my girl I respect her
When she was mine, I used to neglect her
She wanted more than I could give
But as long as I live
She'll be my girl, she used to be my girl
She used to be my girl
She had a charming personality
The girl was so right for me
She's my girl
If I had the chance I know I would take her back
As a matter of fact, right away that day
My only compaint was ???????
The girl was so smart I couldn't keep her ????
Ask her how I know and I'll tell you so
She used to be my girl
And I still love her
I would place on one above her
She's warm and sensual
for as long as I live she will be my girl
If I had the chance I'd take her back
As a matter of fact right away
Good lovin, the girl's got plenty good lovin
Ask me how I know and I will tell you so
She used to be my girl, my girl
She used to be, used to be my girl
She used to be, used to be my girl
She used to be, used to be my girl...

I LOVE MUSIC


I love music, any kind of music
I love music, just as long as it's groovy

Makes me laugh, makes me smile
for the world when I'm with you boy
While we dance make romance
I'm enchanted by the things that you do

I love music, sweet sweet music
Long as it's swinging, all the joy that it's bringing

I'm so happy to be in complete harmony, I love you boy
And to hold you so close in my arms, I'm so glad you're mine
all mine mine

Nothing can be better than a sweet love song
So sweet so sweet so mellow
When you got the girl that you love in your arm
Oh honey I love you I love you yeah
Music is the healing force of the world
It's understood by every man woman boy and girl
And that's why that's why I say
I love music
Any kind of music
Long as it's swinging
All the joy that it's bringing

Music makes the atmosphere so fine
Lights down low just me and you baby you know
'Specially when you got a cold glass of wine
Mellow wine and song

I love music, sweet sweet music
I love music, just as long as it's groovy
I love I love I love I love I love I love music
I love I love I love I love I love I love music
I love music, any kind of music
I love music, just as long as it's groovy

for my Dad..... the best man I know


Drive
by Alan Jackson

It was painted red the stripe was white
It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light
Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
We put on a shine; put on a motor
Built out of love, made for the water
Ran her for years, 'til the transom got rotten
A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten

It was just on old plywood boat
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
A young boy two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And I would turn her sharp
And I would make her whine
He'd say, "you can't beat the way an old wood boat rides"
Just a little lake across the Alabama line
But I was king of the ocean
When daddy let me drive

Just an old half ton shortbed ford
My uncle bought new in '64
Daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
He let me drive her when we'd haul off a load
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal

It was just an old hand-me-down Ford
With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door
A young boy two honds on the wheel
I cain't replace the way it made me feel
And I would press that clutch
And I would keep it right
And he'd say, "a little slower son you're doing just fine"
Just a dirt rood with trash on each side
But I was Mario Andretti
When daddy let me drive

I'm grown up now three daughters of my own
I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
And pull out that old memory
And think of me and smile and say

It was just an old worn out Jeep
Rusty old floorboard, hot on my feet
A young girl two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And he'd say, "turn it left and steer it right,
Straighten up girl, you're doing just fine"
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
But I was high on a mountain
When daddy let me drive


When daddy let me drive

Oh he let me drive

Daddy let me drive

It's just an old plywood boat
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
It was just an old worn out Jeep

If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me?
The Bellamy Brothers

If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?
If I swore you were an angel would you treat me like the devil tonight?
If I was dying of thirst would your flowing love come quench me?
if I said you had a beatiful body would you hold it against me?

Now we could talk all night about the weather
I could tell you about my friends out on the coast
I could ask a lot of crazy questions
Or ask you what I really want to know

If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?
If I swore you were an angel would you treat me like the devil tonight?
If I was dying of thirst would your flowing love come quench me?
if I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?

Rain can fall so soft against the window
The sun can shines so bright under the sky
But Daddy always told me, "Don't make small talk,"
He said, "Come on out and say what's on your mind."

If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?
If I swore you were an angel would you treat me like the devil tonight?
If I was dying of thirst would your flowing love come quench me?
if I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?

If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?
If I swore you were an angel would you treat me like the devil tonight...?

Strawberry Wine
Deana Carter

He was working through college on my grandpa's farm
I was thirsting for knowledge, and he had a car
Yeah, I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child
One restless summer we found love growing wild

On the banks of the river on a well beaten path
It's funny how those memories they last

Like strawberry wine, seventeen
The hot July moon, saw everything
My first taste of love was bitter sweet
And green on the vine

Like strawberry wine

Well I still remember, when thirty was old
My biggest fear was September, when he had to go
A few cards and letters and one long distance call
We drifted away like the leaves in the fall

But year after year I come back to this place
Just to remember the taste

Of strawberry wine, seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love was bitter sweet
But green on the vine

Like strawberry wine

The fields have grown over now
Years since they've seen the plow
There's nothing time hasn't touched
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence
I've been missing so much?

Strawberry wine, seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love was bitter sweet
But green on the vine

Like strawberry wine

Seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love. Oh bitter sweet
But green on the vine

Like strawberry wine

Aerials by SYstem of a Down

Life is a waterfall
We're one in the river,
and one again after the fall
Swimming through the void
we hear the word
We lose ourselves but we find it all

Cuz we are the ones that wanna play
Always want to go but you never want to stay
And we are the ones that wanna choose
Always want to play but you never want to lose

Aerials In the sky
When you lose small mind you free your life

Life is a waterfall
We drink from the river
then we turn around and put up our walls
Swimming through the void we hear the word
We lose ourselves but we find it all

Cuz we are the ones that wanna play
Always want to go but you never want to stay
And we are the ones that wanna choose
Always want to play but you never want to lose
Oh!

Aerials
In the sky
When you lose small mind you free your life
Aerials
So up high
When you free your lives (the) eternal prize
Aerials

Della And The Dealer
Hoyt Axton


It was Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo.
Left the city in a pick up truck,
Gonna make some dreams come true.

Yea,they rolled out west where the wild sun sets
And the coyote bays at the moon.
Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
and a cat named Kalamazoo

Chorus:
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the Dealer and the dog
as well
But the cat was cool, and he never said a mumblin word.

Down Tucson way there's a small cafe
Where they play a little cowboy tune.
And the guitar picker was a friend of mine
By the name of Randy Boone.

Yea, Randy played her a sweet love song
And Della got a fire in her eye
The Dealer had a knife and the dog had a gun
and the cat had a shot of Rye.

Repeat CHORUS

Yea , the dealer was a killer,
He was evil and mean
And he was jealous of the fire in her eyes.

He snorted his coke through a century note
And swore that Boone would die.

The stage was set when the lights went out.
There was death in Tucson town.
Two shadows ran for the bar back door
And one stayed on the ground

Repeat CHORUS

Two shadows ran from the bar that night
And dog and cat ran too.
And the tires got hot on the pick up truck
As down the road they flew.

It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo.
Left Tucson in a pick-up truck
Gonna make some dreams come true.

CHORUS

Ordinary World - Aurora feat Naimee Coleman

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you
What is happening to it all?
Crazy some say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

* But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to
the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
once prompted you to say
Pride will tear us both apart
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops, runaway
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy some say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

* repeat

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Feared today forgot tomorrow
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
Blown away

Just blowing away

And don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to
the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Every world is my world
Any world is my world


Mary Mary - Shackles (Praise You)

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you

In the corners of my mind
I just can't seem to find a reason to believe
That I can break free
Cause you see I have been down for so long
Feel like the hope is gone
But as I lift my hands, I understand
That I should praise you through my circumstance

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you

Everything that could go wrong
All went wrong at one time
So much pressure fell on me
I thought I was gonna lose my mind
But I know you wanna see
If I will hold on through these trials
But I need you to lift this load
Cause I can't take it anymore

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you

Been through the fire and the rain
Bound in every kind of way
But God has broken every chain
So let me go right now

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you

I Know How the River Feels
by Diamond Rio

They say for everyone, there's that certain one
Out there, somewhere
I'd been looking hard, searching every heart
Getting nowhere
Didn't know I was making my way to you

Now I know how the river feels
When it reaches the sea
And finally finds the place
It was always meant to be
Holding fast, home at last
Knowing the journey's through
Lying here with you
I know how the river feels

Miles of loneliness, now make perfect sense
Here beside you
Tears like water fall, it was worth it all
Just to find you
And yours are the last arms I'll run to

Now I know how the river feels
When it reaches the sea
And finally finds the place
It was always meant to be
Holding fast, home at last
Knowing the journey's through
Lying here with you
I know how the river feels

Holding fast, home at last
Knowing the journey's through
Lying here with you
I know how the river feels
Oh, I know how the river feels

Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit out or dance

I hope you dance…I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit out or dance

I hope you dance…I hope you dance
I hope you dance…I hope you dance

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit out ot dance

I hope you dance

Leavin on a Jet PLane by John Denver

Leaving On A Jet Plane
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.
I'm standing here outside your door.
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn.
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn.
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.

CHORUS
So kiss me and smile for me.
Tell me that you'll wait for me.
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh babe, I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down.
So many times I've played around
But now you know that they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I'll think of you,
Every song I sing, I sing for you.
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring.


Now the time has come to leave you.
One more time, let me kiss you.
Close your eyes and I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone,
About the times when I won't have to say...


I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I'm leavin' on a jet plan, I hate to go...

Neil Young Keep on Rockin' in the free world Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world

Back in the Saddle Again by Aerosmith

I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
ridin' into town alone by the light of the moon
I'm lookin' for old Sukie Jones, she crazy horse saloon
barkeep gimme a drink, that's when she caught my eye
she turned to give me a wink, that'd make a grown man cry
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
come easy, go easy, all right until the rising sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight, I'm like a loaded gun
peelin' off my boots and chaps, I'm saddle sore
four bits gets you time in the racks, I scream for more
fools' gold out of their mines, the girls are soaking wet
no tongue's drier than mine, I'll come when I get back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm ridin', I'm loadin' up my pistol
I'm ridin', I really got a fistful
I'm ridin', I'm shinin' up my saddle
I'm ridin', this snake is gonna rattle
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
ridin' high!
ridin' high!
ridin' high! already!

ok.now i'm off...my mid point is Las Vegas where i change planes. *sniff* hopefully the damn thing won't crash.

Leaving Las Vegas by SHeryl Crow

Life springs eternal
On a gaudy neon street
Not that I care at all
I spent the best part of my losing streak
In an Army Jeep
For what I can't recall
Oh I'm banging on my TV set
And I check the odds
And I place my bet
I pour a drink
And I pull the blinds
And I wonder what I'll find

I'm Leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat, blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good

Used to be I could drive up to
Barstow for the night
Find some crossroad trucker
To demonstrate his might
But these days it seems
Nowhere is far enough away
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today

I'm Leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat, blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good

I'm standing in the middle of the desert
Waiting for my ship to come in
But now no joker, no jack, no king
Can take this loser hand
And make it win

I'm Leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat, blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good

I quit my job as a dancer
At the Lido des Girls
Dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a muddly line between
The things you want
And the things you have to do

I'm Leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat, blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good

I'm leaving Las Vegas
And I won't be back
No I won't be back
Not this time

Seminole Wind
John Anderson

Ever since the days of old
Men have searched for wealth untold
They'd dig for silver and for gold
And leave the empty holes

And way down south in the Everglades
Where the black water rolls and the sawgrass sways
The eagles fly and the otters play
In the land of the Seminoles

So, blow, blow, Seminole wind
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
I'm calling to you like a long lost friend
But I know who you are

And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminoles
The alligators and the gars

Progress came and took its toll
And in the name of flood control
They made their plans and they drained the land
Now the glades are going dry

And the last time I walked in the swamp
I sat upon a cyrpess stump
I listened close and I heard the ghost
Of Osceloa cry-

Blow, blow, Seminole wind
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
I'm calling to you like a long lost friend
But know who you are

And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminoles
The alligators and the gars

Straight Tequila Night
John Anderson


if you really want to know
she comes here a lot
she just loves to hear the music and dance
K13 is her favorite song
if you play it you might have a chance
tonight she's only sippin' white wine
she's friendly, and fun- lovin'
most of the time

chorus
but don't ask her on a straight tequila night
she'll start thinkin' about him, and she's ready to fight
blames her broken heart on every man in sight
on a straight tequila night

here's a glass of champagne, some quarters and change
maybe you can turn her love life around
then she won't need the salt or the lime anymore
to shoot that old memory down
just remember her heart's on the mend
so if you ever come back to see her again

repeat chorus three times

Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town
Kenny Rogers
Music & Lyrics : M. Tillis

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair,
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down,
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war,
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore,
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be,
Oh Ruby, I still need some company.

It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed,
And the wants and needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize,
But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around,
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door,
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before,
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground,
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

Oh Ruby, for God's sake, turn around

All My Devotion
by Brady Seals

All it took was just one look in your eyes
I knew this love would never die
You reach every tender emotion
You have all my devotion

I long for the taste of your kiss
The touch of your soft fingertips
Let me hold you in my arms and you will know then
You have all my devotion

Whenever trouble seems to hard to bear
Turn to me and I will be there
My love for you is deeper than an ocean
You have all my devotion

Always and forever can't describe
How long I want to be here by your side
My love for you is deeper than an ocean
You have all my devotion
You have all my devotion

for that boy with gold blonde hair and sky blue eyes
i passed all those notes to

Check Yes or No
by George Strait

It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow, and her pony tail
She kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell

Next day I chased her round the playground
Across the monkey bars, to the merry-go-round
And Emmylou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote

Chorus:
Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no

Now we're grown up and she's my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Ain't much changed, I still chase Emmylou
Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room

Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years later, she still gets to me
Can't believe it's been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no

IN THE STILL OF NIGHT (Five Satins)

In the still of the night
I held you ........Held you tight
'Cause I love .......Love you so
Promise i'll never...... Let you go
In the still of the night

I remember
That night in May
The stars were bright above
I'll hope and i'll pray
To keep
Your precious love

Well before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night


So before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night
In the still ..........of the night

I WANNA TAKE FOREVER TONIGHT
(Peter Cetera & Crystal Bernard)

Feel your breath on my shoulder
And I know we couldn't get any closer
I don't wanna act tough
I just wanna fall in love
As we move into the night
I get crazy
Thinking how it's gonna be with you, baby
I don't wanna play rough
I've been loving you enough, oh baby

Wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with love
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
I wanna take forever tonight

Touch my lips, I'm on fire
You're the only one
I'll ever desire
Turn the lights down low
Make the world go slow
When I'm holding you tonight
It's so easy
Nothing moves me like you do
When you tease me
And to rush would be a crime
I just wanna spend some time with you, baby

Wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up
Give you all my love tonight
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
I wanna take forever

And when I'm here beside you
I wanna see what drives you
Out of your mind
Oh baby
I never wanna leave
I only wanna be with you
'Cause I love how I feel
Your love is for real

I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got

I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
'Cause I can't live without you

SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE
Cream
(Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Pete Brown)

It's getting near dawn,
When lights close their tired eyes.
I'll soon be with you my love,
To give you my dawn surprise.
I'll be with you darling soon,
I'll be with you when the stars start falling.

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.

I'm with you my love,
The light's shining through on you.
Yes, I'm with you my love,
It's the morning and just we two.
I'll stay with you darling now,
I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up.

Chorus

Second Verse

I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.

Diamond Rio - "One More Day"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you!

One more day, one more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more day...

First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl
I'd unplug the telephone and keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million "I Love You's"
That's what I'd do with one more day with you

One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you

One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you.

Blondie - Rapture

Toe to toe dancing very close
Body breathing almost comatose
Wall to wall people hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in rapture
Back to back sacroiliac
Spineless movement and a wild attack
Face to face sightless solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly
DJ spinning I said "My My"
Flash is fast Flash is cool
Francois c'est pas flashe non due
And you don't stop sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground
And out comes the man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night eating cars
You eat Cadillacs Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subaru
And you don't stop
You keep on eating cars
Then when there's no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face
Dance cheek to cheek
One to one
Man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow 'cause the man from Mars is through with cars
He's eating bars
Yeah wall to wall
Door to door
Hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture
Be pure
Take a tour through the sewer
Don't strain your brain
Paint a train
You'll be singing in the rain
Said don't stop to the punk rock
Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars where the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space where he won't have a hassle with
the human race
And you hip hop
And you don't stop
Just blast off sure shot
Because the man from Mars stopped eating cars
And eating bars
And now he only eats guitars
Get up!

Against the Wind
Bob Seger

It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low

And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
'Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin'
Against the wind

The years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home

And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worryied about paying or even how much I owed

Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searching
Searching for shelter again and again

Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter
Against the wind

Well those drifter's days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind
Well I'm older now and still runnin'

Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind

Still runnin'
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm still runnin'
I'm still runnin' against the wind
Still runnin'
Runnin' against the wind
Runnin' against the wind
See the young man run
Watch the young man run
Watch the young man runnin'
He'll be runnin' against the wind
Let the cowboys ride
Let the cowboys ride
They'll be ridin' against the wind
Against the wind ...






Night Moves
Bob Seger

I was a little too tall
Could've used a few pounds
Tight pants points hardly reknown
She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sitting way up high
Way up firm and high

Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy
Workin' on mysteries without any clues
Workin' on our night moves
Trying' to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves in the summertime
In the sweet summertime

We weren't in love oh no far from it
We weren't searching for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Living by the sword
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, the alley, the trusty woods
I used her she used me
But neither one cared
We were getting our share

Workin' on our night moves
Trying to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin' on out night moves
In the summertime
And oh the wonder
Felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder

I woke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in

A 1 Hit Wonder


TAKE A LETTER MARIA
R. B. Greaves


Last night as I got home about a half past ten
There was the woman I thought I knew
In the arms of another man
I kept my cool, I ain't no fool
Let me tell you what happened then
I packed some clothes and I walked out
And I ain't going back again

CHORUS:

So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me
And it's times like this I feel you've always been close to me
Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good life
All work and no play has just cost me a wife

CHORUS

When a man loves a woman it's hard to understand
That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man
I never really noticed how sweet you are to me
It just so happens I'm free tonight
Would you like to have dinner with me

CHORUS

So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

Strnge attraction by the cure

it started with a dedication
"lost in admiration - happy birthday - I?m forever yours - blossom"
faded red inside a tiny book of butterflies
I smiled surprised at how when flickered through
the wings flew by spelled out my name...

Six months went by the summer lost
obsessively the letters dropped into my life
the same soft blood smooth flowing hand
"please try to understand - I have to see you - have to feel you -
tell you all the ways I need you - yours forever in love... "

strange attraction spreads it's wings
it varies but the smallest things
you never know how anything will change
strange attraction spreads it's wings
and alters but the smallest things
you never know how anything will fade

the year grew old incessantly she wrote to me
she'd started smoking poetry!
I laughed in recognition of a favourite phrase
she'd pulled me in...
I answered her
a christmas card in sepia
arranging when and where
and how the two of us should meet...

Her opening so well prepared
a nervous smile
I couldn't take my eyes from her
she whispered
"can I use some of your lipstick?"
it was perfect so believable
I couldn't help but feel that it was real
and kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms...

Strange attraction spreads it's wings
it varies but the smallest things
you never know how anything will change
strange attraction spreads it's wings
and alters but the smallest things
you never know how anything will fade

so alone into the cold new year without another word from her
I wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again before the spring
but weeks went by with no reply until once more my birthday came
and with it my surprise but this time nothing was the same...

"I?m sorry - blame infatuation - blame imagination -
I was sure you'd be the one but I was wrong -
it seems reality destroys our dreams - I won't forget you - blossom"
faded red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes...

Strange attraction spreads it's wings
it varies but the smallest things
you never know how anything will change
strange attraction spreads it's wings
and alters but the smallest things
and you never know...

You Had Me From Hello
by Kenny Chesney

One word, that's all was said
Something in your voice called, turned my head
Your smile captured me, you were in my future as far as I could see
And I don't know how it happened, but it happens still
You ask me if I love you, if I always will...

Well, you had me from "Hello"
I felt love start to grow the moment that I looked into your eyes
You won me, it was over from the start
You completely stole my heart and now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know?
You had me from "Hello"

Inside I built a wall so high around my heart, I thought I'd never fall
One touch, you brought it down
The bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground
And I swore to me I wasn't gonna love again
The last time was the last time I'd let someone in

But, you had me from "Hello"
I felt love start to grow the moment that I looked into your eyes
You won me, it was over from the start
You completely stole my heart and now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know?
You had me from "Hello"

That's all you said
Something in your voice calls me, turns my head
You had me from "Hello"
You had me from "Hello"
Girl, I've loved you from "Hello"

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

What If She's An Angel
by Tommy Shane Steiner

There's a man standing on the corner
With a sign sayin "will work for food"
You know the man
You see him every morning
The one you never give your money to
You can sit there with your window rolled up
Wondering when the lights going to turn green
Never knowing what a couple more bucks
In his pocket might mean

What if he's an angel sent here from Heaven
And he's making certain that you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother are you going to pass that test
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in his face
Knowing deep down it could have been his saving grace
What if he's an angel

There's a man
There's a woman
Living right above you in apartment G
There's alot of noise coming from the ceiling
And it don't sound like harmony
You can sit there with your TV turned up
While the words and his anger fly
Come tomorrow when you see her with her shades on
Can you look her in the eye

What if she's sent here from heaven
And she's making certain that you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother are you going to pass that test
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in her face
Knowing deep down it could have been her saving grace
What if she's an angel

A little girl on daddy's lap
Hiding her disease with a baseball cap
You can turn the channel
Most people do
But what if you were sitting in her daddy's shoes

Maybe she's an angel
Sent here from Heaven
And she's making certain you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother are you going to pass that test
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in her face
Knowing deep down it could have been her saving grace
What if she's an angel

It Ain't Over 'til It's Over


here we are still together
we are one
so much time wasted
playing games with love

so many tears i've cried
so much pain iside
but baby it ain't over 'til it's over
so many years we've tried
to keep our love alive
but baby it ain't over 'till it's over

how many times
did we give up
but we always worked things out
and all my doubts and fear
kept me wondering
if i'd always be in love

so many tears i've cried
so much pain iside
but baby it ain't over 'til it's over

so many years we've tried
and kept our love alive
but baby it ain't over 'till it's over

so many tears i've cried
so much pain iside
but baby it ain't over 'til it's over

so many years we've tried
and kept our love alive
but baby it ain't over 'till it's over
