Brooks n Dunn - Her West Was Wilder Than Mine 2 years ago

Her West Was Wilder Than Mine – Brooks n Dunn

There’s a picture of us in Baha, California
Eating fish tacos and drinking cold, cold beer
And man we had the time of our lives
Yes that was a very good year
Drove all the way up the coast of California
All the way up to 101
One time we cruised all the way to Vancouver
Just to watch the setting sun
Every time I looked in those far away eyes
I could see me getting left behind
I gave her my best
But her west was wilder than mine

Got lost in the desert and found an Indian casino
And she started rollin those nines
Stackin up the chips half way to heaven
Without even trying
We watched it all go at the roulette wheel
She let it all ride on the black
She said don’t worry baby
You can’t keep what you never had
You can’t keep what you never had
Laugh like the devil and howl at the moon
I knew I was losing my mind
I gave her my best
But her west was wilder than mine

I was gasin up in a dust storm outside of Sedona
She was chasin tumbleweed
She flagged down a kenworth and jumped in a cab
It was the last of her I’d ever seen
It was the last of her I’d ever seen

Where the wild wind blows and anything goes
As long as its over the line
I gave her my best
But her west was wilder than mine
It was wilder than mine

Theres a picture of us down in Baha, California
Eatin fish tacos, drinking cold, cold beer

I dunno what people would be dancing like…maybe a good ol two step.



It's a great day to be alive - Travis Tritt 2 years ago

Travis Tritt – It’s a Great Day To Be Alive

I got rice cooking in the microwave
Got a three day beard I don’t plan to shave
And it’s a goofy thing but I just gotta say
Hey, I’m doing alright
Yeah I think I’ll make me some homemade soup
Feelin’ pretty good and that’s the truth
It’s neither drink nor drug induced
No, I’m just doin’ alright

And it’s a great day to be alive
I know the sun’s still shinin’ when I close my eyes
There’s some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can’t every day be just this good?

It’s been fifteen years since I left home
Said good luck to every seed I’d sown
Give it my best and then I left it alone
Oh I hope they’re doin’ alright
Now I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A lone wolf there starin’ back at me
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be
Lord, I guess he’s doin’ alright

And it’s a great day to be alive
I know the sun’s still shinin’ when I close my eyes
There’s some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can’t every day be just this good?

Sometimes its lonely
Sometimes its only me and
The shadows that fill this room
Sometimes I’m fallin’, desperately callin’
Howlin’ at the moon

Well I might go get me a new tatoo or
Take my old Harley for a three day cruise
Might even grow me a fu man chu

And it’s a great day to be alive
I know the sun’s still shinin’ when I close my eyes
There’s some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can’t every day be just this good?

And it’s a great day to be alive
I know the sun’s still shinin’ when I close my eyes
There’s some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can’t every day be just this good?



You feel the same way too - Rankin Family 2 years ago

Rankin Family – You Feel The Same Way Too

Hey hey sweet darling
Let’s go dancing tonight
My clock has been ticking
It tell me the timing’s just right
Well I woke up this morning
With a feeling I call lonesome and blue
And there’s no need in asking – ‘cause I know
You feel the same way too

Hey hey sweet darling
Let’s lay the whole thing down
This world if you let it
Will drive you into the ground
I got twenty dollars and I know
That it should get us by the door
When the band starts playing
How can they ask us for more

We may do the bump and grind
Shake around our little behinds
Do some things that you normally do
On a Saturday night – and that’s all right
We may drink a little too much
We may lose our fancy touch
And step outta line with reality
That’s the way it should be
And there’s no need in asking – ‘cause I know
You feel the same way too.

Hey hey sweet darling
A lot of words have been unkind
But that was yesterday
Why don’t we leave the past behind
You know that I love you
You know that’ll always be true
And there’s no need in asking – ‘cause I know
You feel the same way I do



St. Elmo's Fire - John Parr 2 years ago

St. Elmo’s Fire – John Parr

Growin’ up
You don’t see the writin’ on the wall
Passin’ by
Movin’ straight ahead you knew it all
But maybe sometime if you feel the pain
You’ll find you’re all alone
Everything has changed

Play the game
You know you can’t quit until it’s won
Soldier on
Only you can do what must be done
You know in some way
You’re a lot like me
You’re just a prisoner
And you’re tryin’ to break free

CHORUS:

I can see a new horizon
Underneath the blazin’ sky
I’ll be where the eagle’s
Flyin’ higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion
All I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future’s lyin’
St. Elmo’s Fire

Oooh…

Burnin’ up
Don’t know just how far that I can go
(Just how far I go)
Soon be home
Only just a few miles down the road
I can make it
I know I can
You broke the boy in me
But you won’t break the man

(CHORUS)

I can climb the highest mountain
Cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo’s Fire burnin’ in me
Burnin’ in me

Just once in his life
A man has his time
And my time is now
And I’m comin’ alive

I can hear the music playin’
I can see the banners fly
Feel like you’re back again
And hope ridin’ high
Gonna be your man in motion
All I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future’s lyin’
St. Elmo’s Fire

(CHORUS)

I can climb the highest mountain
Cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo’s Fire burnin’ in me

Burnin’
Burnin’ in me
I can feel it burnin’
Oooh, burnin’ inside of me

Yea ok, so I might be a little bit biased since I attend the first Rick Hansen Secondary School in Canada….and this was our pep rally and fight song…but…meh, I like it.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama 2 years ago

Lynyrd Skynyrd – Sweet Home Alabama

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yes

Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don’t need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I’m coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I’m coming home to you
Here I come Alabama

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they’ve been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I’m feeling blue
Now how about you?

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I’m coming home to you

Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the governor’s true
Sweet Home Alabama
Lordy
Lord, I’m coming home to you
Yea, yea Montgomery’s got the answer

John Mellencamp - Jack N Diane 2 years ago

Little ditty about jack and diane
Two american kids growin up in the heartland
Jackies gonna be a football star
Diane debutante backseat of jackies car

Suckin on chilli dogs outside the tastee freeze
Diane sittin on jackies lap
Hes got his hands between her knees
Jackie say, hey diane lets run off
Behind a shady tree
Dribble off those bobby brooks
Let me do what I please
And jackie say a

Chorus:
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone they walk on

Jackie sits back reflects his thoughts for a moment
Scratches his head and does his best james dean
Well you know diane we oughtta run of the city
Diane says, baby you aint miss no-thing
Jackie say a

Chorus:
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
Oh yeah life goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone

Gonna let it rock
Let it roll
Let the Bible belt come down
And save my soul
Hold on to 16 as lang as you can
Changes comin round real soon
Make us women and men

Little ditty about jack and diane
Two american kids doin the best they can



Jimmy Rankin - Morning Bound Train 2 years ago

Over the walls I hear laughter
Under the light of a devilish moon
Down the hall somebody’s creepin’
Singing an old familiar tune

Bridge
Still I wait without a sound
On this train that’s morning bound

Chorus
I can’t sleep at night
Climbing the walls to the beat of the rain
I go through dark to see daylight
On this morning bound train

In the jungle it’s the same thing
Feel the noise rise up like rage
I drift around inside a day dream
See the lion pace the cage
Still he waits without a sound
On this train that’s morning bound
I can’t sleep at night
Climbing the walls to the beat of the rainI go through dark to see daylight
On this morning bound train
Could it be I’m only restless
The wild inside will not be tamed
Could it be I’m only love sick
What’s ailing me cannot be named

Still I wait without a sound
On this train that’s morning bound
I can’t sleep at night
Climbing the walls to the beat of the rain
I go through dark to see daylightOn this morning bound train



Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine 2 years ago

Im trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
And the best thing youve ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously
Its only life after all
Yeah

Well darkness has a hunger thats insatiable
And lightness has a call thats hard to hear
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it
Im crawling on your shores

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
Theres more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
And the less I seek my source for some definitive
(the less I seek my source)
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine

And I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a b-grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
Got my paper and I was free

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
Theres more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive
(the less I seek my source)
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine

I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
Twice as cloudy as Id been the night before
And I went in seeking clarity.

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains
Yeah we go to the doctor, we go to the mountains
We look to the children, we drink from the fountains
Yeah we go to the bible, we go through the workout
We read up on revival and we stand up for the lookout
Theres more than one answer to these questions
Pointing me in a crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive
(the less I seek my source)
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
