Runnin down a dream

[Verse 1]
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin’
Trees went by, me and Del were singin’ little Runaway
I was flyin’

[Chorus]
Yeah, runnin’ down a dream that never would come to me
Workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads
Runnin’ down a dream

[Verse 2]
I felt so good, like anything was possible
Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine

[Chorus]
Yeah, runnin’ down a dream that never would come to me
Workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads
Runnin’ down a dream

[Bridge]
I rolled on, the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There’s something good waitin’ down this road
I’m pickin’ up whatever’s mine

[Chorus]
I’m runnin’ down a dream that never would’ve come to me
Workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads
Runnin’ down a dream
Yeah, I’m runnin’ down a dream that never would’ve come to me
Workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads
I’m runnin’ down a dream

 

 

 

Mary Jane’s Last Dance- Tom Petty

[Verse 1]
She grew up in an Indiana town
Had a good lookin’ mama who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights

Well, she moved down here at the age of eighteen
She blew the boys away, was more than they’d seen
I was introduced and we both started groovin’
She said, “I dig you baby, but I got to keep movin’ on
Keep movin’ on”

[Chorus]
Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin’ in and I’m tired of this town again

[Verse 2]
Well, I don’t know, but I’ve been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
I’m tired of screwin’ up, tired of going down
Tired of myself, tired of this town
[Refrain]
Oh, my, my, oh, hell yes
Honey, put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song
Take me as I come ’cause I can’t stay long

[Chorus]
Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin’ in and I’m tired of this town again

[Verse 3]
There’s pigeons down on Market Square
She’s standin’ in her underwear
Lookin’ down from a hotel room

The nightfall will be comin’ soon

[Refrain]
Oh, my, my, oh, hell yes
You got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
I hit my last number and walked to the road

[Chorus]
Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin’ in and I’m tired of this town again

 

 

 

Mainstreet -Bob Seger

[Verse 1]
I remember standing on the corner at midnight
Trying to get my courage up
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown
Loved to watch her do her stuff
Through the long lonely nights she filled my sleep
Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat

[Refrain]
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet

[Verse 2]
In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers
Used to watch ’em through the glass
Well I’d stand outside at closing time
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone down that empty street

[Refrain]
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet (Ooh)

[Verse 3]
And sometimes even now, when I’m feeling lonely and beat
I drift back in time and I find my feet

[Refrain]
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet

 

 

 

 

 

Hit Me with Your Best Shot – Pat Benatar

[Verse 1]
Well you’re the real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me

That’s okay, let’s see how you do it
Put up your dukes, let’s get down to it

[Chorus]
Hit me with your best shot
Why don’t you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

[Verse 2]
You come on with it, come on, you don’t fight fair
That’s okay, see if I care
Knock me down, it’s all in vain
I get right back on my feet again

[Chorus]
Hit me with your best shot
Why don’t you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

[Verse 3]
Well you’re the real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case
You better make sure you put me in my place

[Chorus]
Hit me with your best shot
C’mon, hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

 

 

 

 

Shooting Star- Bad Company

[Verse 1]
Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatles song
‘Love Me Do,’ I think it was, from there it didn’t take him long
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night
Now he’s in a rock ‘n’ roll outfit and everything’s all right

[Bridge]
Don’t you know?

[Verse 2]
Johnny told his Mamma, “hey, Mamma, I’m goin’ away
I’m gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday”, yeah
Mamma came to the door with a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, “don’t cry, Mamma,” smiled and waved good-bye

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you know, yeah yeah

[Chorus]
Don’t you know that you are a shooting star
Don’t you know, don’t you know
Don’t you know that you are a shooting star

[Post-Chorus]
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are

[Verse 3]
Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song

Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said ‘well, I made the big time
At last’

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you know, don’t you know

[Chorus]
Don’t you know that you are a shooting star
Don’t you know, oh, yeah
Don’t you know that you are a shooting star
, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are, a shooting star

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Don’t you know that you are a shooting star
Don’t you know, ahh-ahh
Don’t you know that you are a shooting star
, now

[Post-Chorus]
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are

[Verse 4]
Johnny died one night, died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head
Johnny’s life passed him by like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
Don’t you know that you are a shooting star
Don’t you know, yeah, don’t you know’
Don’t you know that you are a shooting star

Don’t you know, yeah

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, woo

[Chorus]
Don’t you, don’t you know that you are a shooting star
Don’t you, don’t you know

Take It Easy-Eagles

[Verse 1]
Well, I’m running down the road tryin’ to loosen my load
I’ve got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me
One says she’s a friend of mine

[Chorus]
Take It easy, take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don’t even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy

[Verse 2]
Well, I’m a standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin’ down to take a look at me

[Chorus]
Come on, baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose, and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up, I’m climbin’ in
So take it easy

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well, I’m running down the road trying to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin’ for a lover who won’t blow my cover
She’s so hard to find

[Chorus]
Take it easy, take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me

[Outro]
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Oh, we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

 

 

 

Witchy WomanEagles

Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night
She’s a restless spirit on an endless flight

Woo hoo witchy woman,
See how high she flies
Woo hoo witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye

She held me spellbound in the night
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room
And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon

Woo hoo witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye

Well, I know you want a lover,
Let me tell you, brother,
She’s been sleeping in the Devil’s bed.

And there’s some rumors going round
Someone’s underground
She can rock you in the nighttime
‘Til your skin turns red

Woo hoo witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye

 

 

 

 

Night Moves – Bob Seger

[Verse 1]
I was a little too tall
Could’ve used a few pounds
Tight pants points hardly renown
She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own, sitting way up high
Way up firm and high

[Verse 2]
Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my ’60 Chevy
Workin’ on mysteries without any clues
[Chorus]
Workin’ on our night moves
Trying’ to make some front page drive-in news
Workin’ on our night moves
In the summertime (Mmm)
In the sweet summertime

[Verse 3]
We weren’t in love, oh no far from it
We weren’t searchin’ 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, to the alley, or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me
But neither one cared
We were getting our share

[Chorus]
Workin’ on our night moves
Trying to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin’ on our night moves
Mmm, and it was summertime
Mmm, sweet summertime, summertime

[Bridge]
And oh the wonder
Felt the lightning
Yeah, and we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder

 

 

 

Brain Damage- Pink Floyd

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games
And daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon

 

 

 

Time -Pink Floyd

[Verse 1: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

[Verse 2: David Gilmour & Richard Wright]
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re older
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say

 

Comfortably Numb– Pink Floyd

There is no pain you are receding

A distant ship  smoke on the horizon.

You are only coming through in waves.

Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying.

When I was a child I had a fever

My hands felt just like two balloons.

Now I’ve got that feeling once again

I can’t explain you would not understand

This is not how I am.

I have become comfortably numb.

 

 

 

 

Ready for Love- Bad Company
Walkin’ down this rocky road wonderin’

where my life is leading
Rollin’ on to the bitter end
Finding out along the way what it takes to keep love           .        living
You should know how it feels my friend
Ooh

I want you to stay
Ooh
I want you today

I’m ready for love
Oh baby I’m ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby I’m ready for love
Yeah
Oh-oh
For your love

Now I’m on my feet again
Better things are bound to happen
All my dues surely must be paid
Many miles and many tears
Times were hard but now there changing
You should know that I’m not afraid

Ooh
I want you to stay
Ooh
I want you today

I’m ready for love
Oh baby, I’m ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby, I’m ready for love
Ooh ooh-ooh
Oh I’m ready for love
Hey, hey
Ready for your love

I want you to stay

Ooh
I want you today
I’m ready for love
Oh baby, I’m ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby, I’m ready for love

Ready for love
Oh baby, I’m ready for love
Ready for love
Oh baby, I’m ready for your love
(Ooh) I, I, I, I

Whoa oh-oh-oh
For whoa-oh
I’m ready for your love
Oh baby
Mhmm

Band on the Run- Paul McCartney and Wings

[Verse 1]
Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever

Never seeing no one nice again
Like you
Mama, you
Mama, you

[Segue]

[Verse 2]
If I ever get out of here
Thought of giving it all away to a registered charity
All I need is a pint a day if I ever get out of here
If we ever get out of here

[Segue]

[Verse 3]
Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun

And the first one said to the second one there
“I hope you’re having fun”

[Chorus]
Band on the run
Band on the run

And the jailer man and Sailor Sam
Were searching everyone

For the band on the run
Band on the run
For the band on the run
Band on the run

[Verse 4]
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come
And a bell was ringing in the Village Square
For the rabbits on the run

[Chorus]
Band on the run
Band on the run

And the jailer man and Sailor Sam
Were searching everyone

For the band on the run
Band on the run
Yeah, the band on the run
Band on the run
Band on the run
Band on the run

[Verse 5]
Well, the night was falling as the desert world
Began to settle down
In the town they’re searching for us everywhere
But we never will be found

[Chorus]
Band on the run
Band on the run

And the County Judge, who held a grudge
Will search forevermore
For the band on the run
Band on the run
Band on the run
Band on the run

 

 

 

Whiskey Drinkin Woman- Nazarath

Close up the bar you know the gates of the brewery
She’s out there every night
And she sure ain’t drinkin’ tea
I love that woman, she’s the best one that I had
But she’s got this habit now and it sure is gettin’ bad

That whiskey drinkin’ woman
Is makin’ a poor man out of me

She’s got bottles in the kitchen
Even got them in my bed
Most times I see her now
She’s three parts out of her head
Don’t know where I went wrong
I sure try to treat her right
But it sure upsets me
Seein’ her juiced up every night.

That whiskey drinkin’ woman
Is makin’ a poor man out of me

Got to solve this problem
Won’t you help me find the key
The way that things are going
I’ll have to buy the distillery
She just stands there smilin’
With a whiskey in each hand
Got to think of something
Don’t know how much I can stand

That whiskey drinkin’ woman
Is makin’ a poor man out of me

Got to get myself together, start workin’ something out
Maybe if I tried some booze, I’d know what it’s about
I love that woman, she’s the best one that I had
But she’s got this problem now
And it sure is gettin’ bad.

That whiskey drinkin’ woman
Is makin’ a poor man out of me

Got to solve this problem
Won’t you help me find the key
The way that things are going
I’ll have to buy the distillery
She just stands there smilin’
With a whiskey in each hand
Got to think of something
Don’t know how much I can stand

 

 

Spirit in the Sky- Norman Greenbaum

[Verse 1]
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that’s the best

When I lay me down to die
Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky
[Chorus]
Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky
That’s where I’m gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest

I’m gonna go to the place that’s the best

[Verse 2]
Prepare yourself you know it’s a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He’s gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky

[Chorus]
Gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
That’s where you’re gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
You’re gonna go to the place that’s the best
[Verse 3]
Never been a sinner, I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He’s gonna set me up
With the spirit in the sky

[Chorus]
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
That’s where I’m gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I’m gonna go to the place that’s the best
Go to the place that’s the best

 

 

 

It Never Rains in Southern Calif – Albert Hammond

[Verse 1]
Got on board a westbound seven forty-seven
Didn’t think before deciding what to do
Ooh, that talk of opportunities
TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true

[Pre-Chorus]
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I’ve often heard that kind of talk before
[Chorus]
It never rains in California
But girl, don’t they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours

[Verse 2]
Out of work, I’m out of my head
I’m out of self respect, I’m out of bread
I’m under-loved, I’m underfed
I wanna go home

[Chorus]
It never rains in California
But girl, don’t they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours

[Verse 3]
Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?
Had offers but didn’t know which one to take
Please don’t tell ’em how you found me
Don’t tell ’em how you found me

Gimme a break, give me a break

[Pre-Chorus]
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I’ve often heard that kind of talk before

[Chorus]
It never rains in California
But girl, don’t they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours

American Band- Grand Funk Railroad

Out on the road for forty days
Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze
Sweet, sweet Connie, doin’ her act
She had the whole show and that’s a natural fact
Up all night with Freddie King
I got to tell you, poker’s his thing
Booze and ladies, keep me right
As long as we can make it to the show tonight

We’re an American band
We’re an American band
We’re comin’ to your town
We’ll help you party it down
We’re an American band

Four young chiquitas in Omaha
Waitin’ for the band to return from the show
Feelin’ good, feelin’ right, it’s Saturday night
The hotel detective, he was outta sight
Now these fine ladies, they had a plan
They was out to meet the boys in the band
They said, “Come on dudes, let’s get it on”
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down

We’re an American band
We’re an American band
We’re comin’ to your town
We’ll help you party it down
We’re an American band

We’re an American band
We’re an American band
We’re comin’ to your town
We’ll help you party it down
We’re an American band

We’re an American band
We’re an American band
We’re comin’ to your town
We’ll help you party it down
We’re an American band

We’re an American band
We’re an American band
We’re comin’ to your town
We’ll help you party it down
We’re an American band

We’re an American band, woo
We’re an American band, woo
We’re an American band, woo. Source: LyricFind

 

 

 

Enter Sandman-Metallica

Say your prayers, little one
Don’t forget, my son
To include everyone

I tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the Sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to Never—, Neverland

Something’s wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren’t of Snow White

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon’s fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to Never—, Neverland

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, don’t say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It’s just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to Never—, Neverland

We’re off to Never—, Neverland
Take my hand
We’re off to Never—, Neverland
Take my hand
We’re off to Never—, Neverland
We’re off to Never—, Neverland
We’re off to Never—, Neverland
We’re off to Never—, Neverland

 

 

 

 

Drift Away- Dolby Gray

 

Day after day I’m more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pourin’ rain
You know that’s a game that I hate to lose
And I’m feelin’ the strain, ain’t it a shame?
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock ‘n’ roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock ‘n’ roll and drift away

Beginnin’ to think that I’m wastin’ time
I don’t understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Now I’m countin’ on you to carry me through
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock ‘n’ roll and drift away
Hey, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock ‘n’ roll and drift away

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I’m feelin’ blue
A guitar’s comin’ through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you’ve given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony

She Talks To Angels– Black Crows

She never mentions the word “addiction”
In certain company
Yes, she’ll tell you she’s an orphan
After you meet her family

She paints her eyes as black as night now
Pulls those shades down tight
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain come
The pain gonna make everything alright

Says she talks to angels
They call her out by her name
Oh, yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes, the hair is from a little boy
And the cross is someone she has not met
Not yet

Says she talks to angels
Says they all know her name
Oh, yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name

She don’t know no lover
None that I ever seen
Yeah, to her that ain’t nothin’
But to me, yeah, me
Means everything

She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
Oh, yeah, there’s a smile when the pain comes
The pain gonna make everything alright
Alright, yeah, heah

She talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
Oh, yeah, heah, angels
Call her out by her name
Oh, ooh, oh, oh, angels
They call her out by her name

Oh, oh, oh, she talks to angels
They call her out
Yeah, ee, eah, eah, eah, eah
Call her out
Don’t you know that they
Call her out by her name?

 

 

 

 

Funk #49 – James Gang

[Verse 1]
I sleep all day, out all night
I know where you’re goin’
I don’t think that’s a-actin’ right
You don’t think it’s showin’

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
A-jumpin’ up, fallin’ down
Don’t misunderstand me
You don’t think that I know your plan
What you tryin’ to hand me?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Out all night, sleep all day
I know what you’re doin’
If you’re gonna a-act that way
I think there’s trouble brewin’

 

 

Turn the Page- Bob Seger

[Verse 1]
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin’ out his one note song

You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
When you’re ridin’ sixteen hours and there’s nothin’ much to do
And you don’t feel much like ridin’, you just wish the trip was through

[Chorus]
Say here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the page

[Verse 2]
Well you walk into a restaurant strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you’re shakin’ off the cold
You pretend it doesn’t bother you but you just want to explode

Most times you can’t hear ’em talk, other times you can
All the same old cliches, “Is that a woman or a man?”
And you always seem outnumbered; you don’t dare make a stand

[Chorus]
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the page

[Verse 3]
Out there in the spotlight you’re a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away

As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin’ in your head

You smoke the day’s last cigarette, rememberin’ what she said

[Chorus]
Ah here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the page

Ah here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on a stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
There I go

No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature -Guess Who

Lonely feeling deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowding me
Sudden darkness but I can see

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Dat’n-doo-dow dow-dat’n-doo-dow
Dat’n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat’n-doo-dow dow-dat’n-doo-dow
Dat’n-doo-dow dow

In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements where I can find
Grabbing for me with her eyes
Now I’m falling from her skies

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

Dat’n-doo-dow dow-dat’n-doo-dow
Dat’n-doo-dow dow-dow-dow
Dat’n-doo-dow dow-dat’n-doo-dow
Dat’n-doo-dow dow

Jocko says “Yes” and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn’t got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they’re standing in each other’s way
You’re tripping back now to places you’ve been to
You wonder what you’re gonna find
You know you’ve been wrong but it won’t be long
Before you leave ’em all far behind

Cause it’s the new mother nature taking over
It’s the new splendid lady come to call
It’s the new mother nature taking over
She’s gettin’ us all
She’s gettin’ us all

Jocko said “No” when I came back last time
It’s looking like I lost a friend
No use callin’ cause the sky is fallin’
And I’m getting pretty near the end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine
We’re gonna get it on right tonight

Cause it’s the new mother nature taking over
It’s the new splendid lady come to call
It’s the new mother nature taking over
She’s gettin’ us all
She’s gettin’ us all

(Lonely feeling) Jocko says “Yes” and I believe him
(Deep inside) When we talk about the things I say
(Find a corner) She hasn’t got the faith or the guts to leave him
(Where I can hide) When they’re standing in each other’s way
(Silent footsteps) You’re tripping back now to places you’ve been to
(Crowding me) You wonder what you’re gonna find
(Sudden darkness) You know you’ve been wrong and it won’t be long
(But I can see) Before you leave ’em all far behind

Cause it’s the new mother nature taking over
It’s the new splendid lady come to call
It’s the new mother nature taking over
She’s gettin’ us all
She’s gettin’ us all

Dat’n-doo-dow dow-dat’n-doo-dow

Green River- CCR

[Verse 1]
Well, take me back down where cool water flow, y’all
Let me remember things I love, Lord
Stoppin’ at the log where catfish bite
Walkin’ along the river road at night
Barefoot girls dancin’ in the moonlight

[Verse 2]
I can hear the bullfrog callin’ me, aw
Wonder if my rope’s still hangin’ to the tree, aw
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water
Shoo fly, dragon fly, get back to mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River

Well

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Up at Cody’s camp I spent my days, Lord
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
Old Cody Junior took me over
Said, “You’re gonna find the world is smolderin’
And if you get lost, come on home to Green River”
Well
Come on home

 

 

 

Stuck in the Middle with You- Stealers Wheel

[Verse 1]
Well, I don’t know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain’t right
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs

[Chorus]
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right

Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

[Verse 2]
Yes, I’m stuck in the middle with you
And I’m wondering what it is I should do
It’s so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, yeah, I’m all over the place

[Chorus]
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right

Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

[Post-Chorus]
Well, you started out with nothing
And you’re proud that you’re a self-made man
And your friends, they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please
Please

[Verse 3]
Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see it makes no sense at all
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
‘Cause I don’t think that I can take anymore

[Chorus]
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right

Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

[Post-Chorus]
And you started out with nothing
And you’re proud that you’re a self-made man
And your friends, they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please
Please

[Verse 1]
Yeah I don’t know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain’t right
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs

[Chorus]
Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right

Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you

 

 

 

Heavy Metal- Don Felder

Drive it on up and let’s cruise a while
Leave your troubles far behind
You can hedge your bet on a clean Corvette
To get you there right on time

Now if you’re ready to dive into overdrive
Baby, the green lights are on
It’s like you’re runnin’ away on some high octane
Every time she reaches fully blown

Won’t you take a ride (ride, ride, ride)
On heavy metal
It’s the only way that you can travel
Down that road

Satisfied (-fied, -fied, -fied)
On heavy metal
Baby, won’t you ride
Ride it until it explodes
(Heavy metal)

My oh my, how this lady can fly
Once she starts rollin’ beneath you
You know you just can’t lose, the way she moves
You wait for her to finally release you

It’s not a big surprise to feel your temperature rise
You’ve got a touch of redline fever
‘Cause there is just one cure that they know for sure
You just become a heavy metal believer

Won’t you take a ride (ride, ride, ride)
On heavy metal
It’s the only way that you can travel
Down that road

Satisfied (-fied, -fied, -fied)
On heavy metal
Baby, won’t you ride
Ride it until it explodes
(Heavy metal)

Bungle In the JungleJethro Tull

Walking through forests of palm tree apartments
Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
Down by the waterhole, drunk every Friday
Eating their nuts, saving their raisins for Sunday
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows
They’re fast but they’re lazy, and sleep in green meadows

Well, let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yes
Well, I’m a tiger when I want love
But I’m a snake if we disagree

Just say a word and the boys will be right there
With claws at your back to send a chill through the night air
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?
Thunder and lightning couldn’t be bolder
I’ll write on your tombstone, I thank you for dinner
This game that we animals play is a winner

Well, let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yes
I’m a tiger when I want love
I’m a snake if we disagree, yes

The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
And he who made kittens put snakes in their grasp
He’s a lover of life but a player of pawns
Yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn
To light up His Jungle as play is resumed
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune

Well, let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yes
I’m a tiger when I want love
And I’m a snake when we disagree, yes

Let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yes
Well, I’m a tiger when I want love
I’m a snake when we disagree

Well, let’s bungle in the jungle
Well, that’s all right by me, yes
I’m a tiger when I want love Source: Musixmatch

 

 

Wish You Were Here

 

[Verse]
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell?
 Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
 Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
 Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

[Acoustic Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl year after year

Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears, wish you were here


Fortunate Son- CCR

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they’re red, white and blue
And when the band plays “Hail To The Chief”
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no senator’s son, son
It ain’t me, it ain’t me; I ain’t no fortunate one, no

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don’t they help themselves, oh
But when the taxman come to the door
Lord, the house lookin’ like a rummage sale, yeah

It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no millionaire’s son, no, no
It ain’t me, it ain’t me; I ain’t no fortunate one, no

Yeah!
Some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask ’em, “How much should we give?”
Ooh, they only answer, “More! More! More!” Yo

It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no military son, son
It ain’t me, it ain’t me; I ain’t no fortunate one, one

It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no fortunate one, no no no
It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no fortunate son, no no no
It ain’t me, it ain’t me

 

 

Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)

Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sittin’ in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman sing a song

A pair of 45’s made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just-a 5’9, beautiful, tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
‘Cause that long cool woman had it all

[Instrumental Interlude]

I saw her heading to the table
Like a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you’re able boy
‘Cause I’m telling you she knows where it’s at
Then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
A-jumping out of doors and tables
When I heard somebody shootin’ a gun
Well the DA was pumping my left hand

And a-she was a-holding my right
Well I told her don’t get scared
‘Cause you’re gonna be spared
I’ve gotta be forgivin’ if I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5’9 beautiful tall
Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess
‘Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all
Had it all

Rocky Mountain Way- Joe Walsh

Spent the last year Rocky Mountain way
Couldn’t get much higher
Out to pasture, I think it’s safe to say
Time to open fire

‘Cause the Rocky Mountain way is better than the way we had

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Wanted Dead or Alive – Bon Jovi

[Verse 1]
It’s all the same, only the names will change
Every day it seems we’re wastin’ away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I’d drive all night just to get back home

[Chorus]
I’m a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it’s not for days
The people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink
And times when you’re alone, well, all you do is think

[Chorus]
I’m a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
Wanted (Wanted) dead or alive

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, and I ride

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Ooh, I’m a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted (Wanted) dead or alive

[Verse 3]
But I walk these streets, a loaded six-string on my back
I play for keeps ’cause I might not make it back
I’ve been everywhere, (Oh yeah) still I’m standin’ tall
I’ve seen a million faces and I’ve rocked them all

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m a cowboy
On a steel horse, I ride
I’m wanted (Wanted) dead or alive
And I’m a cowboy
I got the night on my side
And I’m wanted (Wanted) dead or alive

[Outro]
And I ride (And I ride), dead or alive
I still drive (Still drive), dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
