COUNTRY
(If that ain't country,
I
Don't
Know
What Is)
What About Now
(Anthony Smith/Aaron Barker/Ron Harbin)
(Sung by Lonestar, if you care to download it)
The sign in the window said for sale or trade
On the last remaining dinosaur Detroit made
Seven hundred dollars was a heck of a deal
For a four hundred horsepower jukebox on wheels
And that road rolls out like a welcome mat
I don't know where it goes but it beats where we're at
We always said someday, somehow
We were gonna get away, gonna blow this town
What about now, how 'bout tonight
Baby for once let's don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends
That we've been talking about
What about now, why should we wait
We can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another round
What about now
We've been puttin' this off baby long enough
Just give me the word, and we'll be kickin' up dust
We both know it's just a matter of time
'Til our hearts start racin' for that county line
What about now, how 'bout tonight
Baby for once let's don't think twice
Let's take that spin that never ends
That we've been talking about
What about now, why should we wait
We can chase these dreams down the interstate
And be long gone 'fore the world moves on and makes another round
What about now
We could hang around this town forever making plans
But there won't ever be a better time to take this chance
There's Your Trouble
Tia Sillers & Mark Silby
(Sung by the Dixie Chicks)
Should Have Been Different But
It Wasn't Different, Was it
Same Old Story, Dear John, And So Long
Should Have Fit Like A Glove
Should Have Fit Like A Ring
Like A Diamond Ring
A Token Of True Love
Should Have All Worked Out
But It Didn't
She Should Be Here Now
But She Isn't
Chorus:
There's Your Trouble, There's Your Trouble
You Keep Seeing Double With The Wrong One
You Can't See I Love You, You Can't See Doesn't
But You Just Keep Holding On
There's Your Trouble
So Now You're Thinking 'Bout
All You're Missing -- How
Deep You're Sinking, Round And Round And Dragging Down
Why Don't You Cash In Your Chips
Why Don't You Call It A Loss
Not Such A Big Loss, Chalk It Up Better Luck
Could Have Been True Love
But It Wasn't
It Should All Add Up
But It Doesn't
BORN TO FLY
by Sara Evans
I've been telling my dreams to the scarecrow
About the places that I'd like to see
I said, "Friend, do you think I'll ever get there?"
Ah, but he just stands there
Smiling back at me.
So I can confess my sins to the preacher
About the love I've been praying to find
Is there a brown-eyed boy in my future, yeah
And he says, "Girl, you've got nothing but time."
But how do you wait for Heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know that you were born
You were born to fly
My daddy, he is grounded like the oak tree
And my mom, she is steady as the sun
Oh, you know I love my folks
But I keep staring down the road
Just looking for my one chance to run
Yeah, cause I will soar away like the blackbird
I will blow in the wind like a sea
I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams
And I will grow up where I'll wander wild and free
Oh, how do you wait for Heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know that you were born
You were born to fly
So how do you wait for Heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know that you were born
You were born to fly
You were born to fly, fly, fly
Something Like That
By Tim McGraw
It was Labor Day weekend I was seventeen
I bought a Coke and some gasoline
And I drove out to the county fair
When I saw her for the first time
She was standing there in the ticket line
And it all started right then and there
Oh, a sailer's sky made a perfect sunset
And that's the day I'll never forget
I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt
She was killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
She had a suntan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
And a heart don't forget something like that
Well it was five years later on a southbound plane
I was headed down to New Orleans
To meet some friends of mine for Mardi Gras
When I heard a voice from the past
Comin' from a few rows back
And when I looked, I couldn't believe just what I saw
She said I bet you don't remember me
And I said only every other memory
I had a barbeque stain on my white tee shirt
You were killing me in that miniskirt
Skippin' rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
You had a suntan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
And a heart don't forget something like that
Like an old photograph
Time can make a feeling fade
But the memory of a first love
Never fades away
I had a barbeque stain on my white t-shirt
You were killing me in that mini skirt
Skipping rocks on the river by the railroad tracks
You had a suntan line and red lipstick
I worked so hard for that first kiss
And a heart don't forget something like that

He was waitin' for the bus in his army greens.
Sat down in a booth, in a cafe there,
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair.
He's a little shy but she give him a smile,
So he said: "Would you mind sittin' down for a while?
"And talkin' to me. I'm feelin' a little low."
She said: "I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go."
So they went down and they sat on the pier,
He said: "I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care,
"I got no one to send a letter to.
"Would you mind if I sent one back here to you?"
I cried: "Never gonna hold the hand of another guy."
"Too young for him," they told her.
Waitin' for the love of the travellin' soldier.
"Our love will never end."
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter says,
My soldier's comin' home.
The letters came from an army camp,
In California, then Vietnam.
He told her of his heart, it might be love,
And all of the things he was so scared of.
He said: "When it's gettin' kinda rough over here,
"I think of that day, sittin' down at the pier.
"And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile.
"Don't worry, but I won't be able to write for a while."
I cried: "Never gonna hold the hand of another guy."
"Too young for him," they told her.
Waitin' for the love of the travellin' soldier.
"Our love will never end."
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter says,
My soldier's comin' home.
One Friday night at a football game,
The Lord's Prayer said, and the anthem sang,
A man said: "Folks would you bow your head,
"For the list of local Vietnam dead."
Cryin' all alone under the stands,
Was the piccolo player in the marching band.
And one name read and nobody really cared,
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair.
I cried: "Never gonna hold the hand of another guy."
"Too young for him," they told her.
Waitin' for the love of the travellin' soldier.
"Our love will never end."
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter says,
My soldier's comin' home.
Here's A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)
by Travis Tritt
You say you were wrong to ever leave me alone
You're sorry, you're lonesome, and scared
And you say you'd be happy if you could just come back home
Well, here's a quarter, call someone who cares
Call someone who'll listen, and might give a damn
Maybe one of your sordid affairs
But, don't you come 'round here handin' me none of your lines
Here's a quarter, call someone who cares
I though what we had could never turn bad
So your leavin' caught me unaware
But the fact is you've run, girl, that can't be undone
So, here's a quarter, call someone who cares

East Coast Anthem
by Good Charlotte
Walking the streets of DC
On the East Coast where I live
Say what's the problem?
What's with this angry kid
You don't like the way I walk, or the way I talk, or the way I swing my hands
You don't like the words I speak or the thoughts I think and I know you'll never understand
You know, on the East Coast we ride until we die, you know
Well there's a place inside my mind, yeah a place you'll never find,
There's a place inside my mind walk this way
There's a place inside my mind, yeah a place you'll never find
There's a place inside my mind, leave today
Wouldn't it be perfect, if I could sit with you
And we would change a thing or two, we'd change a thing or two
We would change the way you think, We would change the way I think
We can't change the way they think so we're not changing anything
You know, on the East Coast we ride until we die
All I Want
Day after day your home life's a wreck
The powers that be just
Breathe down your neck
You get no respect
You get no relief
You gotta speak up
And yell out your piece
So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want
All I want
How many times is it gonna take
Till someone around you hears what you say
You've tried being cool
You feel like a lie
You've played by their rules
Now it's their turn to try
So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want
All I want
I said it before
I'll say it again
If you could just listen
Then it might make sense
-Thats Offspring...Aren't they amazing?
SLAVE-
Lived too long now you've come to take me
To a place where I can die
Lost my soul, lost my confidence in me
Can't be something but I'll try
Lived too long and waited to just drown
In my self pity I keep falling down
Want to be your soldier
Want to be your slave
I have no pride in myself
Only book that I own is called 'how to lose'
Pick a chapter, I know them all, just choose
Lived too long and waited to find
A place where I can die
Lost my soul, lost my confidence in me
Give me something but I'll try
Want to be your solider
Want to be your slave
I have no pride in myself
That's how I behave
YAY..thats by the one and only silverchair. Ya gotta love em!
PARALLEL UNIVERSE (by RHCP)
Deep inside of a parallel universe
Its getting harder and harder
To tell what came first
Under water where thoughts can breathe Easily
Far away you were made in a sea
Just like me
Christ Im a sidewinder Im a
California King
I swear its everywhere
Its everything
Staring straight up into the sky
Oh my my a solar system that fits
In your eye Microcosm
You could die but your never dead spider web
Take a look at the stars in
Your head fields of space kid
Psychic changes are born in your heart
Entertain
A nervous breakthrough that makes us the
same
Bless your heart girl
Kill the pressure its raining on
Salty Cheeks
When you hear the beloved song
I am with you
Down With the Sickness (by DISTURBED)
Drowning deep in my sea of loathing
Broken your servant I kneel
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing in me
Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes (oh no)
There is no turning back now
You've woken up the demon in me
Get up, come on get down with the sickness
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me
You mother get up
You fucker get up
Madness is the gift, that has been given to me
I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
Don't try to deny what you feel
It seems that all that was good has died
And is decaying in me
It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes
Living with these changes (oh no)
The world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me
(And when I dream)
No mommy, don't do it again
Don't do it again
I'll be a good boy
I'll be a good boy, I promise
No mommy don't hit me
Why did you have to hit me like that
Why did you have to be such a bitch
Why don't you,
Why don't you fuck off and die
Why can't you just fuck off and die
Why can't you just leave here and die
Never stick your hand in my face again bitch
FUCK YOU
I don't need this shit
You stupid sadistic abusive fucking whore
How would you have to see how it feels mommy
Here it comes, get ready to die
SMASH
by the Offspring
Head over heals I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I've held it all in with blood on my face
Built it up man so bad you can taste
I don't slag no one
I don't even judge
Don't give a shit cause I'm not gonna budge
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
I'm not a trendy asshole
I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
I don't fuck if it's good enough for you
Cause I'm alive
Smash is the way you feel all alone
Like an outcast you're out on your own
Smash is the way you deal with your life
Like an outcast you're smashing your strife
Head over heals I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
