Toast by Heywood Banks

I used to listen to Bob & Tom so other than the Weird Al songs in the Comedy genre, they came from there.

All around the country and coast to coast

People always say what do you like most?

I don't wanna brag I don't wanna boast

I always tell 'em I like toast

Yeah toast!

Yeah toast!

I get up in the morning 'bout six A. M

Have a little jelly have a little jam

Take a piece of bread put it in the slot

Push down the lever and the wires get hot

I get toast

Yeah toast!

Yeah toast!

Now there's no secret to toasting perfection

There's a dial on the side then you make your selection

Push to the dark or the light and then

If it pops too soon press down again

Make toast

Yeah toast!

Yeah toast!

What Hurts the Most by Rascal Flatts

You all should be impressed that I remembered to post since I keep forgetting. This is the 2nd song off this album on this blog. It's a sad song but it's a good song.

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house

That don’t bother me

I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out

I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while

Even though going on with you gone still upsets me

There are days every now and again I pretend I’m OK

But that’s not what gets me

What hurts the most

Was being so close

And having so much to say

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could have been

And not seeing that loving you

Is what I was tryin’ to do

It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go

But I’m doin’ It

It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone

Still Harder

Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret

But I know if I could do it over

I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart

That I left unspoken

What hurts the most

Is being so close

And having so much to say (much to say)

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could have been

And not seeing that loving you

Is what I was trying to do, oh.

What hurts the most

Was being so close

And having so much to say (to say)

And watching you walk away

And never knowing

What could have been

And not seeing that loving you

Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you

That’s what I was trying to do

Life Is A Highway

Bubbly by Colbie Caillet

This was the first song I heard from Colbie as my wife had put it on the CD she made me. Since then I've added a bunch of her songs and I really enjoy all her music. I just bought her latest album for my mom to get her into it and she added them all to her van playlist.

Will you count me in?

I've been awake for a while now

You've got me feelin' like a child now

'Cause every time I see your bubbly face

I get the tingles in a silly place

It starts in my toes

And I crinkle my nose

Wherever it goes

I always know

That you make me smile

Please stay for a while now

Just take your time

Wherever you go

The rain is falling on my window pane

But we are hiding in a safer place

Under covers staying dry and warm

[Another version of the song says: "Under covers staying safe and warm"]

You give me feelings that I adore

They start in my toes

Make me crinkle my nose

Wherever it goes

I always know

That you make me smile

Please stay for a while

now just take your time

Wherever you go

But what am I gonna say:

When you make me feel this way

I just mmmmm

And it starts in my toes

Makes me crinkle my nose

Wherever it goes

I always know

That you make me smile

Please stay for a while

Now just take your time

Wherever you go

Dada dumdudum dumdadadadadum

Ohbodododododododum mmm mmm

I've been asleep for a while now

You tuck me in just like a child now

'Cause every time you hold me in your arms

I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

It starts in my soul

And I lose all control

When you kiss my nose

The feeling shows

'Cause you make me smile,

Baby, just take your time

Now holdin' me tight

Wherever, wherever, wherever you go

Wherever, wherever, wherever you go

Wherever you go

I always know

'Cause you make me smile

Even just for a while

Never Gonna Let You Down

If You Love Me Let Me Go

End of the Road by Boyz II Men

I had this single when it came out, I don't think I even knew it was on the Boomerang soundtrack and I had seen that movie. I may have even had that soundtrack. Either way, I loved this song when it came out.

Girl, you know we belong together

I have no time for you to be playing with my heart like this

You'll be mine forever, baby, you just see

We belong together

And you know that I'm right

Why do you play with my heart?

Why do you play with my mind?

Said we'd be forever

Said it'd never die

How could you love me and leave me

And never say goodbye?

When I can't sleep at night without holding you tight

Girl, each time I try I just break down and cry

Pain in my head oh I'd rather be dead

Spinnin' around and around

Although we've come to the end of the road

Still I can't let you go

It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you

Come to the end of the road

Still I can't let you go

It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you

Girl, I know you really love me,

You just don't realize

You've never been there before

It's only your first time

Maybe I'll forgive you, hmm

Maybe you'll try

We should be happy together

Forever, you and I

Will you love me again like you loved me before

This time I want you to love me much more

This time instead just come to my bed

And, baby, just don't let me down

Although we've come to the end of the road

Still I can't let go

It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you

Come to the end of the road

Still I can't let go

It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you

Girl, I'm here for you

All those times at night when you just hurt me

And just run out with that other fella

Baby, I knew about it, I just didn't care

You just don't understand how much I love you do you?

I'm here for you

I'm not out to go out and cheat on you all night

Just like you did, baby, but that's all right

Hey, I love you anyway

And I'm still gonna be here for you 'till my dying day, baby

Right now, I'm just in so much pain, baby

'Cause you just won't come back to me

Will you? Just come back to me

(Lonely)

Yes, baby, my heart is lonely

(Lonely)

My heart hurts, baby

(Lonely)

Yes I feel pain too

Baby, please

This time instead just come to my bed

And, baby, just don't let me down

Although we've come to the end of the road

Still I can't let go

It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you

Come to the end of the road

Still I can't let go

It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you

Although we've come to the end of the road

Still I can't let go

It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you

Come to the end of the road

Still I can't let go

It's unnatural, you belong to me, I belong to you

Little Bit of Life by Craig Morgan

I don't know this song well but I must have heard it and liked it somewhere along the way.

A little bit of guitar; a little bit of truck.

A little bit of hound-dog an' a little bit of luck.

A little bit of bacon, a little bit of beans;

A little bit of you lovin' up on me.

A little bit of how it's s'posed to be:

A little bit of life.

A little bit of back-seat, a little bit of moon.

A little bit of radio goin' boom, boom, boom.

A little bit of sugar, a little bit of spice,

A little bit of nasty, a little bit of nice.

A little bit of how it's s'posed to be:

A little bit of life. 

I breath in, I breath out.

Yeah. sleepin' all night with the windows down.

Up in the mornin', stirrin' around.

Drink a pot of coffee an' I head off to town.

Work, work, work, all day long,

Crank it up, back it up, bring it on home,

Supper on the table an' I eat me a bite,

Then we snuggle on the porch by the pale moonlight,

A little bit of me an' you doin' all right:

A little bit of life.

A little bit of tractor, a little bit of farm.

A little bit of cornfield, an' a little bit of barn.

A little bit of c'mon, a little bit of play.

A little bit of "yee-haw" in the hay.

A Dixie cup of home-made wine:

A little bit of life.

I breath in, I breath out.

Yeah. sleepin' all night with the windows down.

Up in the mornin', stirrin' around.

Drink a pot of coffee an' I head off to town.

Work, work, work, all day long,

Crank it up, back it up, bring it on home,

Supper on the table an' I eat me a bite,

Then we snuggle on the porch by the pale moonlight,

A little bit of me an' you doin' all right:

A little bit of life.

A little bit of back-porch, a little bit of swing.

A little bit of wind-chimes a-going ding-a-ling.

A little bit of TV, a little bit of couch;

Popcorn smellin' up the house.

A-la-mode on a little slice of home-made pie.

A little bit of life.

I breath in, I breath out.

Yeah. sleepin' all night with the windows down.

Up in the mornin', stirrin' around.

Drink a pot of coffee an' I head off to town.

Work, work, work, all day long,

Crank it up, back it up, bring it on home,

Supper on the table an' I eat me a bite,

Then we snuggle on the porch by the pale moonlight,

A little bit of me an' you doin' all right:

A little bit of life.

A little bit of me an' you doin' all right:

A little bit of life.

Yeah, a little bit of life.

A little bit of guitar; a little bit of truck.

A little bit of hound-dog, a little bit of luck.

A little bit of back-seat, a little bit of moon.

A little bit of radio: boom, boom, boom. 

A little bit of bacon, a little bit of beans;

A little bit of you lovin' up on me. 

A little bit of c'mon, a little bit of play. 

A little bit of yee-haw in the hay!

Redneck Yacht Club

Corn Star

the Dance by Brooks Jefferson

Looking back on the memory of

The dance we shared 'neath the stars above

For a moment all the world was right

How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end the way it all would go

Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain

But I'd have had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything

For a moment wasn't I a king

But if I'd only known how the king would fall

Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end the way it all would go

Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain

But I'd have had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance

I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance

If I Don't Have You by Thompson Square

I don't know much about Thompson Square but I know I liked this song the first time I heard it. When I first got into Country, it was listening to love songs and this is one of those.

Sometimes it feels like, I'm gonna break

Sometimes this world, gives more than I can take

Sometimes, sunshine gets lost in the rain

And it keeps pouring down

It just keeps coming down.

This life would kill me If I didn't have you

I couldn't live without you baby

I wouldn't want to

If you didn't love me so much

I'd never make it through

'Cause this life would kill me

This life would kill me if I didn't have you.

You are my heart, every breath I breathe

I'm safe in your arms, you rescue me.

When I'm weak, you're strong

If you were gone I don't know where I'd be

You were made for me

(You were made for me)

This life would kill me If I didn't have you

I couldn't live without you baby

I wouldn't want to

If you didn't love me so much

I'd never make it through

'Cause this life would kill me

This life would kill me if I didn't have you

If you didn't love me so much

(If you didn't love me so much)

This Life would kill me If I didn't have you

(This life would kill me)

Couldn't live without you baby

I wouldn't want to

If you didn't love me so much

I'd never make it through

'Cause This life would kill me

This Life would kill me if I didn't have you

Rooster by Alice in Chains

This song was out not long after I really started to get into rock so it brings back memories of riding in the forman's truck on the way to job sites.

Ain't found a way to kill me yet

Eyes burn with stinging sweat

Seems every path leads me to nowhere

Wife and kids household pet

Army green was no safe bet

The bullets scream to me from somewhere

Here they come to snuff the rooster

Yeah here come the rooster, yeah

You know he ain't gonna die

No, no, no, ya know he ain't gonna die

Here they come to snuff the rooster

Yeah here come the rooster, yeah

You know he ain't gonna die

No, no, no, ya know he ain't gonna die

Walkin' tall machine gun man

They spit on me in my home land

Gloria sent me pictures of my boy

Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death

My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath

Oh God please won't you help me make it through

Here they come to snuff the rooster

Yeah here come the rooster, yeah

You know he ain't gonna die

No, no, no ya know he ain't gonna die

Man in the Box

When We Stand Together by Nickelback

I don't really know this song well. I do like Nickelback and I probably heard it and added it. I probably liked the lyrics more than anything when I heard it the first time.

One more depending on a prayer

And we all look away

People pretending everywhere

It's just another day

There's bullets flying through the air

And they still carry on

We watch it happen over there

And then just turn it off

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

We must stand together

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

There's no giving in

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

Hand in hand forever

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

That's when we all win

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

That's, that's, that's when we all win

That's, that's, that's when we all win

They tell us everything's alright

And we just go along

How can we fall asleep at night

When something's clearly wrong

When we could feed a starving world

With what we throw away

But all we serve are empty words

That always taste the same

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

We must stand together

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

There's no giving in

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

Hand in hand forever

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

That's when we all win

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

That's, that's, that's when we all win

That's, that's, that's when we all win

The right thing to guide us

Is right here inside us

No one can divide us

When the light is nearly gone

But just like a heartbeat

The drumbeat carries on

And the drumbeat carries on

Just like a heart beat

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

We must stand together

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

There's no giving in

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

Hand in hand forever

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

That's when we all win

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah

That's, that's, that's when we all win

That's, that's, that's when we all win

Chicken Fried by Zac Brown Band

This was the 1st song I knew by the Zac Brown Band so it's probably my favorite.

You know I like my chicken fried

And cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the radio up

Well I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia Pine

And that's home you know

Sweet tea, pecan pie, and homemade wine

Where the peaches grow

And my house it's not much to talk about

But it's filled with love that's grown in southern ground

And a little bit of chicken fried

Cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the radio up

I love to see the sun rise

See the love in my woman's eyes

Feel the touch of a precious child

And know a mother's love

It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most

Not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes

There's no dollar sign on a peace of mind, this I've come to know

So if you agree, have a drink with me,

Raise your glasses for a toast

To a little bit of chicken fried

And cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the radio up

I love to see the sun rise

See the love in my woman's eyes

Feel the touch of a precious child

And know a mother's love

I thank god for my life

And for the stars and stripes

May freedom forever fly, let it ring.

Salute the ones who died

The ones that give their lives

So we don't have to sacrifice

All the things we love

Like our chicken fried

And cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the radio up

I love to see the sun rise

See the love in my woman's eyes

Feel the touch of a precious child

And know a mother's love

Get a little chicken fried

And cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the radio up

I love to see the sun rise

See the love in my woman's eyes

Feel the touch of a precious child

And know a mother's love

Your Majesty

Winter Wonderland by Tony Bennett

I had two Christmas songs come across my playlist today. It's fitting to end on one of the classics.  This is the 1st by Tony Bennett but he has plenty on this list and not all are Christmas songs.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,

In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight,

We're happy tonight,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,

Here to stay is a new bird

He sings a love song,

As we go along,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,

Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say: Are you married?

We'll say: No man,

But you can do the job

When you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid,

The plans that we've made,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,

And pretend that he's a circus clown

We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,

Until the other kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,

Though your nose gets a chilling

We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Walking in a winter wonderland,

Walking in a winter wonderland.

Denomination Demolition by Mylon & Broken Heart

Love this song and the lyrics say it all. It explains the majority of issues with religions. It doesn't hurt that I liked the group, seen them a bunch in concert and I know I had at least one concert T, probably a couple.

One church, one heart

This was God's intention from the start

No fuss, no fight

We can walk together in the Light

It's so important that we catch the vision

Stand up for Jesus and renounce religion

(Chorus)

Denomination Demolition

Life shouldn't be a competition

We can fullfill the great commission

Denomination Demolition

 Hold up, time out

Love is something we can't live without

Throw down, look out

Love is what the Gospel's all about

Tear down the walls that cause division

Get back to Jesus and renounce religion

(Chorus)

Denomination Demolition

Life should not be competition

Let's make a Holy Exhibition

Letter From the Front

Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses

Well you know this song is going to be on here. This was the jam back in the day.

Welcome to the jungle

We've got fun 'n' games

We got everything you want

Honey, we know the names

We are the people that can find

Whatever you may need

If you got the money, honey,

We got your disease

[Chorus:]

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your

Knees, knees

I wanna watch you bleed

Welcome to the jungle

We take it day by day

If you want it you're gonna bleed

But it's the price you pay

And you're a very sexy girl

That's very hard to please

You can taste the bright lights

But you won't get them for free

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Feel my, my, my serpentine

I, I wanna hear you scream

Welcome to the jungle

It gets worse here everyday

Ya learn ta live like an animal

In the jungle where we play

If you got a hunger for what you see

You'll take it eventually

You can have anything you want

But you better not take it from me

[Chorus:]

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your

Knees, knees

I'm gonna watch you bleed

And when you're high you never

Ever want to come down, so down, down, yeah!

You know where you are?

You're in the jungle, baby

You're gonna die

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your

Knees, knees

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Feel my, my, my serpentine

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your

Knees, knees

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your...

It's gonna bring you down
