Don't Stop Believin' by Postmodern Jukebox



Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smoky room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight, people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night


Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time

Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
And now the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight, people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
Don't stop

Good One Comin' On by Blackberry Smoke



Two six packs of Shiner
99 cent butane lighter
Lucky Strikes and a fifth of Patron
ice down that Igloo cooler
tank of gas that oughta do er’
I can feel a good one comin’on

Throw in Ray Wylie Hubbard
sing along to “Redneck Mother”
any blues I had before are gone
another workin’ week is over
no chance of stayin’ sober
I can feel a good one comin’ on

[Chorus]
Yea we’re gonna roll all night
we’re gonna get the feelin’ right
we’re gonna keep this party rockin’
till the break of dawn
I can feel a good one comin’ on

Three blondes in a rag top Mustang
followed us down to the lake and…
didn’t have to think about that too long
skinny dippin’ in the bright moonlight
situation couldn’t be more right
I can feel a good one comin’ on

[Chorus]

Fuckin' Perfect by P!nk


Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss No-Way-It's-All-Good
It didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look, I'm still around

Pretty, pretty, please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty, please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing. You're fucking perfect to me

You're so mean, you're so mean when you talk, when you talk
About yourself. You were wrong
Change the voices, change the voices in your head, in your head
Make them like you instead

So complicated
Look how we all make it
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons
I've seen you do the same
Oh, oh

Pretty, pretty, please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty, please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing. You're fucking perfect to me

The whole world's scared, so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice-cold beer
So cool in lying and we try, try, try but we try too hard
And it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, 'cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that, why do I do that, why do I do that?

Yeah! Oh!
Oh, pretty, pretty, pretty

Pretty, pretty, please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than fucking perfect
Pretty, pretty, please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing. You're fucking perfect to me
You're perfect, you're perfect
Pretty, pretty, please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing. You're fucking perfect to me

Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson



Here's the thing: we started out friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah
Since you've been gone

You dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long 'til I called you mine
Yeah, yeah
Since you've been gone

And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

But since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get what I want
Since you've been gone

How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah
Since you've been gone

How come I'd never hear you say,
"I just wanna be with you."
I guess you never felt that way

But since you've been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get (I get) what I want
Since you've been gone

You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth, I just can't take it
Again and again, and again, and again

Since you've been gone
(Since you've been gone)
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get, I get what I want

I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get (I get)
You should know (you should know)
That I get, I get what I want
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone

I Will Remember You by Amy Grant


I will be walking one day
Down a street far away
And see a face in the crowd and smile
Knowing how you made me laugh
Hearing sweet echoes of you from the past
I will remember you

Look in my eyes while you're near
Tell me what's happening here
See that I don't want to say goodbye
Our love is frozen in time
I'll be your champion and you will be mine
I will remember
I will remember you

Later on
When this fire is an ember
Later on
When the night's not so tender
Given time
Though it's hard to remember darlin'
I will be holding
I'll still be holding to you
I will remember you

So many years come and gone
And yet the memory is strong
One word we never could learn
Goodbye
True love is frozen in time
I'll be your champion and you will be mine
I will remember you
So please remember
I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you

Every Time I Think Of You by the Baby's



Every time I think of you
It always turns out good
Every time I've held you
I thought you understood

People say a love like ours
Will surely pass
But I know a love like ours
Will last and last

But maybe I was wrong not knowing how our love should go
(How our love, how our love should go)
But I wasn't wrong in knowing how our love would grow
(How our love, how our love would grow)

And every time I think of you (every time)
Every time I think of you (every single time)
It always turns out good

Seasons come and seasons go
But our love will never die
Let me hold you, darlin'
So you won't cry

'Cause people say that our love affair
Will never last
But we know a love like ours
Will never pass

But maybe I was wrong not knowing how our love should go
(How our love, how our love should go)
But I wasn't wrong in knowing how our love would grow
(How our love, how our love would grow)

And every time I think of you (every time)
Every time I think of you (every single time)
It always turns out good

People say a love like ours
Will surely pass
But I know a love like ours
Will last and last

But maybe I was wrong not knowing how our love should go
(How our love, how our love should go)
But I wasn't wrong in knowing how our love would grow
(How our love, how our love would grow)

And every time I think of you
Every time I think of you
Every time I think of you
It always turns out good

Every time I think of you
Every time I think of you
Every time I think of you
Every time I think of you

Every time I think of you
Every time I think of you
Every time I think of you
Every time I think of you

Every time I think of you
Every time I think of you

Not Yet by Brett Young


I know the stars are gonna leave us the later it gets
I know the moon is gonna disappear into the west
I know the sun is gonna come and steal your silhouette
But not yet, no, not yet

'Cause you still got a lotta kisses left on your lips
Yeah, you still got a lotta time to take away my breath
You still got a lotta driving me wild left
With that smile, with those eyes, I ain't done loving you tonight
Not yet, not yet

We'll find the bottom of the bottle eventually
And we're gonna run out of excuses to not go to sleep
And I wanna hold you while you're drifting off to dream
But not yet, no, not yet

'Cause you still got a lotta kisses left on your lips
Yeah, you still got a lotta time to take away my breath
You still got a lotta driving me wild left
With that smile, with those eyes, I ain't done loving you tonight
Not yet, no, not yet

We still got some memories left to make
Before tonight turns into yesterday, ey

You still got a lotta kisses left on your lips
Yeah, you still got a lotta time to take away my breath
You still got a lotta driving me wild left
With that smile, with those eyes, I ain't done loving you tonight
Not yet, not yet
Not yet, not yet

She Bop by Cyndi Lauper


Well, I see 'em every night in tight blue jeans
In the pages of a Blueboy magazine
Hey, I've been thinking of a new sensation
I'm picking up the good vibrations
Oop, she bop, she bop

Do I wanna go out with a lion's roar?
Yeah, I wanna go south and get me some more
Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine
They say I better stop or I'll go blind
Oop, she bop, she bop

She bop, he bop, a we bop
I bop, you bop, a they bop
Be bop, be bop, a lu bop
(I hope He will understand)
She bop, he bop, a we bop
I bop, you bop, a they bop
Be bop, be bop, a lu, she bop
Oh, she do, she bop

Hey, hey they say I better get a chaperone
Because I can't stop messing with the danger zone
I won't worry, and I won't fret
Ain't no law against it yet
Oop, she bop, she bop

She bop, he bop, a we bop
I bop, you bop, a they bop
Be bop, be bop, a lu bop
(I hope He will understand)
She bop, he bop, a we bop
I bop, you bop, a they bop
Be bop, be bop, a lu, she bop
Oh, she do, she bop

She bop, he bop, a we bop
I bop, you bop, a they bop
Be bop, be bop, a lu bop
(I hope He will understand)
She bop, he bop, a we bop
I bop, you bop, a they bop
Be bop, be bop, a lu, she bop
Oh, she do, she bop

Beer Run by Todd Snider



B double, E double R U N, beer run
B double, E double R U N, beer run
All we need is a ten and fiver
A car and key and a sober driver
B double, E double R U N, beer run

A couple of frat guys from Abilene
Drove out all night to see Robert Earl Keen
At the Kpei swine and sworay dance
They wore baseball caps and khaki pants
They wanted cigarettes so to save a little money
They got one from this hippie who smelt kinda funny
And next thing they knew they were both pretty hungry
And pretty thirsty too

B double, E double R U N, beer run
B double, E double R U N, beer run
All we need is a ten and fiver
A car and key and a sober driver
B double, E double R U N, beer run

Found a store with a sign said, "Their beer was coldest"
So they sent, in Brad, 'cause he looked the oldest
He got a case of beer and a candy bar
Walked over to where all them registers are
Layed his fake ID on the counter top
The clerk looked and turned and looked back up
And stopped and said, "Boy, I'm not gonna call the cops
But I'm gonna have to keep this card"
The guys both took it pretty hard

B double, E double R U N, beer run
B double, E double R U N, beer run
Oh, how happy we would be
Had we only brought a better fake ID
B double, E double R U N, beer run

They found this another old hippie named Sleepie John
He claimed to be the one from the Robert Earl song
So they gave him all the cash, he bought 'em some brooze
Was a beautiful day out in Santa Cruz
They were feelin' so good it shoulda been a crime
The crowd was cool and the band was prime
They made it back up front to their seats just in time
To sing with all their friends
"The road goes on forever and the party never ends"

B double, E double R U N, beer run
B double, E double R U N, beer run
All we need is a ten and a fiver
A car and key and a sober driver
B double, E double R U N, beer run
B double, E double R U N, beer run

the Dirty Boogie by the Brian Setzer Orchestra



I got a little boogie but it ain't too clean
It's real low down and it's kinda mean
The dirty boogie
The dirty boogie
When I get low down, it's the dirty boogie for me

The dirty boogie
What's it called?
The dirty boogie
Hey you all

The dirty boogie
How's it go?
The dirty boogie
Not too slow
When I get low down, it's the dirty boogie for me

Well you rattle and shake, you moan and groan
A girl like you I could never bring home
The dirty boogie
The dirty boogie
When I get low down, it's the dirty boogie for me

The dirty boogie
What's it called?
The dirty boogie
Hey you all

The dirty boogie
How's it go?
The dirty boogie
Not too slow
When I get low down, it's the dirty boogie for me

They're shakin' their hips and scream and shout
And doin' things I can't even talk about
The dirty boogie
Catch my drift
The dirty boogie
When I get low down, it's the dirty boogie for me

The dirty boogie
What's it called?
The dirty boogie
Hey you all

The dirty boogie
How's it go?
The dirty boogie
Not too slow
When I get low down, it's the dirty boogie for me

This Is How We Do It by Montell Jordan



This is how we do it
This is how we do it
This is how we do it

This is how we do it
It's Friday night
And I feel alright
The party is here on the West Side

So I reach for my 40 and I turn it up
Designated driver, take the keys to my truck
Hit the 'shaw [Crenshaw] 'cause I'm faded
Honeys in the street say, "Monty, yo! We made it!"

It feels so good
In my hood
Tonight
The summertime skirts and the guys in Kani
All the gang bangers forgot about the drive-by

You gotta get your groove on before you go get paid
So tip up your cup
And throw your hands up
And let me hear the party say

I'm kinda buzzed
And it's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
To all my neighbors
You got much flavor
(This is how we do it)
Let's flip the track
Bring the old school back
(This is how we do it)

This is how we do it
All hands are in the air
And wave them from here to there
If you're an O.G. mack or a wanna-be player

You see the hood's been good to me
Ever since I was a lower-case G
But now I'm a big G
The girls see I got the money
Hundred-dollar bills y'all

If you were from where I'm from then you would know
That I gotta get mine in a big black truck
You can get yours in a '64

Whatever it is, the party's underway
So tip up your cup
And throw your hands up
And let me hear the party say

I'm kinda buzzed
And it's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
To all my neighbors
You got much flavor
(This is how we do it)
Let's flip the track
Bring the old school back
(This is how we do it)

I'm kinda buzzed
It's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does, nobody does
(This is how we do it)
YNV, SCC
(This is how we do it)
All my homies
I'll never come wack
On an old school track
(This is how we do it)

Check it out!
Once upon a time in '94
Montell made no money
And life sure was slow
And all they said was 6'8" he stood
And people thought the music that he made was good

There lived a D.J
And Paul was his name
He came up to Monty
This is what he said
"You and OG are gonna make some cash
Sell a million records and we're making a dash."

Oh, I'm buzzing because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
To all my neighbors
You got much flavor
(This is how we do it)
I'll never come wack
On an old school track
(This is how we do it)

I'm kinda buzzed
It's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does, nobody does
(This is how we do it)
Oh, it's party time
(This is how we do it)
Straight up coming from the West Side
(This is how we do it)

OG got the flavor
(This is how we do it)
And Monty does it like nobody does it
(This is how we do it)
Come on now. Def Jam. You know what it
(This is how we do it)
...
(This is how we do it)

Next Time I Fall by Peter Cetera & Amy Grant


Love, like a road that never ends
How it leads me back again
To heartache
I'll never understand
Darling, I put my heart up on a shelf
Til the moment was right, and I told myself

The next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you

Now, as I look into you eyes
Well I wonder if it's wise
To hold you like I've wanted to before
Tonight, I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life in this heart of mine

Next time I fall in love
I know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
It will be with you

Next time I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try

Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love with you

Sound of Madness by Shinedown


Yeah, I get it
You're an outcast
Always under attack
Always coming in last
Bringing up the past
No one owes you anything

I think
You need a shotgun blast
A kick in the ass
So paranoid
Watch your back

Oh my, here we go

Another loose cannon gone bi-polar
Slipped down, couldn't get much lower
Quicksand's got no sense of humor
I'm still laughing like hell

You think that by crying to me
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe
You've been infected by a social disease
Well, then take your medicine

I created the sound of madness
Wrote the book on pain
Somehow I'm still here to explain
That the darkest hour never comes in the night
You can sleep with a gun
When you gonna wake up and fight
For yourself?

I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality
If there's an afterlife
Then it'll set you free
But I'm not gonna part the seas
You're a self-fulfilling prophecy

You think that by crying to me
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe
You've been infected by a social disease
Well, then take your medicine

I created the sound of madness
Wrote the book on pain
Somehow I'm still here to explain
That the darkest hour never comes in the night
You can sleep with a gun
When you gonna wake up and fight
For yourself

I created the sound of madness
Wrote the book on pain
Somehow I'm still here
To explain
That the darkest hour never comes in the night
You can sleep with a gun
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up and fight

I created the sound of madness
Wrote the book on pain
Somehow I'm still here
To explain
That the darkest hour never comes in the night
You can sleep with a gun
When you gonna wake up and fight
For yourself

When you gonna wake up and fight for yourself?
When you gonna wake up and fight for yourself?
When you gonna wake up and fight for yourself?

Yellow Rose of Texas by Johnny Lee



Oh the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl I love
Her eyes are even bluer than Texas skies above
Her heart's as big as Texas and wherever I may go
I'll remember her forever because I love her so

There are so many roses that bloom along the way
But my heart's in Amarillo and that's where it will stay
With the yellow rose of Texas so I'd better get there fast
'Cause I know I was her first love and I want to be her last

Oh the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl I love
Her eyes are even bluer than Texas skies above
Her heart's as big as Texas and wherever I may go
I'll remember her forever because I love her so

The eyes of Texas are upon you all the live long day
The eyes of Texas are upon you, you cannot get away
Do not think you can escape them at night or early in the morn
The eyes of Texas are upon you 'till Gabriel blows his horn

The eyes of Texas are upon you all the live long day
The eyes of Texas are upon you, you cannot get away
Do not think you can escape them at night or early in the morn
The eyes of Texas are upon you 'till Gabriel blows his horn

The eyes of Texas are upon you all the live long day
The eyes of Texas are upon you, you cannot get away
Do not think you can escape them at night or early in the morn
The eyes of Texas are upon you 'till Gabriel blows his horn

Barely Breathing by Duncan Sheik



I know what you're doing
I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline
When I kiss away your tears

You really had me going
Wishing on a star
The black holes that surround you
Are heavier by far

I believed in your confusion
So completely torn
Must have been that yesterday
Was the day that I was born

There's not much to examine
There's nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious
If you have to ask me why
I say goodbye

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care

And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
It's worth the price, the price
That I would pay, yeah yeah, yeah

Everyone keeps asking
What's it all about?
I used to be so certain
Now I can't figure out

What is this attraction?
I only feel the pain
There's nothing left to reason
And only you to blame
Will it ever change?

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care

And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
It's worth the price, the price
That I would pay, yeah yeah, yeah
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway

I've come to find
I may never know
Your changing mind
Is it friend or foe?

I rise above or sink below
With every time
You come and go
Please don't come and go

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care

And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don't suppose it's worth the price
It's worth the price, the price
That I would pay, yeah yeah, yeah
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway

Well, I know what you're doing
I see it all too clear

Bruised and Bloodied by Seether


Add meat to the body, abandon your own welfare
Feel safe in the knowledge that you'll save yourself with prayer
Disgrace everybody then bask in the afterglow
If I beat myself it seems like you just don't care at all
It's really fucking pitiful

I'm not asking to pray about
Parade around
Or save somebody
Lost the courage, I'm craven now
You're way too proud
All bruised and bloodied

Conceit so lovely you've led me into despair
This rape and pillage of all things that I hold dear
Deface my body with gifts that you now bestow
When I need somebody it seems like you're just not there at all
It's really fucking pitiful

I'm not asking to pray about
Parade around
Or save somebody
Lost the courage, I'm craven now
You're way too proud
All bruised and bloodied

These disembodied emotions are all laid bare
So please tell me, when will I wake from this new nightmare

I'm not asking to pray about
Parade around
Or save somebody
Lost the courage, I'm craven now
You're way too proud
All bruised and bloodied

Polaroid by Keith Urban



Sometimes I forget who we were back then
That Saturday night stealin' cold beer and cigarettes
At a house we didn't know, wearin' our now vintage clothes
Lookin' at this photo

Oh I remember someone saying smile
Who would have thought we'd still be smilin' now

We've come a long way
Since we were strangers in a basement
At a party we hated
Tryin' to make conversation
The night it was taken
I didn't have a clue
That someday I'd be something more
Than just a boy in a Polaroid with you

Too many times these moments they come and go
How lucky was I that our moment was set in stone
Even though the colors faded
And everybody changes
Holdin' on to this photo

Oh, I remember fallin' just like that
And now it's kinda crazy lookin' back

We've come a long way
Since we were strangers in a basement
At a party we hated
Tryin' to make conversation
The night it was taken
I didn't have a clue
That someday I'd be something more
Than just a boy in a Polaroid with you

Oh, I remember someone saying smile
Who would have thought we'd still be smiling now

We've come a long way
Since we were strangers in a basement
At a party we hated
Tryin' to make conversation
The night it was taken
I didn't have a clue
That someday I'd be something more
Than just a boy in a Polaroid with you

Tryin' to make conversation
The night it was taken
I didn't have a clue
That someday I'd be something more
Than just a boy in a Polaroid with you

Honky Tonk Woman by the Rolling Stones



I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind

It's the honky tonk women
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

I laid a divorcee in New York City
I had to put up some kind of a fight
The lady then she covered me in roses
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind

It's the honky tonk women
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

It's the honky tonk women
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues
It's the honky tonk women
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues

Over It by Katharine McPhee



I'm over your lies,
and I'm over your games.
I'm over you asking me,
when you know I'm not okay.
You call me at night,
and I pick up the phone.
And though you've been telling me,
I know you're not alone.
oh..

That's why
(your eyes)
I'm over it
(your smile)
I'm over it
(realize)
I'm over it
I'm over it
I'm over..

Wanting you,
to be wanting me.
No that ain't no way to be.
How I feel, read my lips,
because I'm so over..
Moving on, it's my time,
you never were a friend of mine.
Hurt at first, a little bit,
but now I'm so over.
I'm so over it..

I'm over your hands,
and I'm over your mouth.
Trying to drag me down,
and fill me with self-doubt.
oh..

That's why,
(your words)
I'm over it
(so sure)
I'm over it
(I'm not your girl)
I'm over it
I'm over it
I'm over...

Wanting you,
to be wanting me.
No that ain't no way to be.
How I feel, read my lips,
because I'm so over..
Moving on, it's my time,
you never were a friend of mine.
Hurt at first, a little bit,
but now I'm so over.
I'm so over it..

Don't call,
don't come by,
ain't no use,
don't ask me why,
you'll never change,
there'll be no more crying in the rain.

Wanting you,
to be wanting me.
No that ain't no way to be.
How I feel, read my lips,
because I'm so over..
Moving on, it's my time,
you never were a friend of mine.
Hurt at first, a little bit,
but now I'm so over.
I'm so over it..

I'm so over it....
I'm over it....

Wanting you,
to be wanting me.
No that ain't no way to be.
How I feel, read my lips,
because I'm so over..
Moving on, it's my time,
you never were a friend of mine.
Hurt at first, a little bit,
but now I'm so over.
I'm so over it..

the One by Deuce


Nine lives. Deuce. Let's go.

I'm supposed to be the one who brings us all together
Weak or strong, not just a song
We sing along when things go wrong
You will need me when you fall
And I will need you when I'm wrong
Tears lead me on
They let me lead you so far
Weak or strong, I'll hold your arm

I see the sickness in the signs
The dead weight in line
Like the sickness in my mind
Homosexuals and liars
Fuck playing for reasons
Fuck playing for Jesus
Let me shine like a god, like a leader
I'll burn a hole through your cross
My soul's already lost
And it's funny 'cause they're saying, 'He's hot.'
But they don't see the fucking tears that I've cried
And they don't hear me when I scream when I die
I wanna live good, I wanna live right
My insecurities are eatin' me alive
I need a friend, someone close to my heart
That'll help me through my struggles
You can help me through my times

I'm supposed to be the one who brings us all together
Weak or strong, not just a song
We sing along when things go wrong
You will need me when you fall
And I will need you when I'm wrong
Tears lead me on
They let me lead you so far
Weak or strong, I'll hold your arm

I already found the devil, he's my best friend
He taught me how to leave, but I don't wanna end
I want a pill for every bad thought
For every chick I fucked
For every time I lost
Don't think I'm broken, 'cause I'm not
Got milk? Got problems?
Problems is all that I got
You're looking down on a barrel of a bent pole
Take my hand, I promise that I'll go slow
When you looked too close you end up with a broke soul
'Cause in the end it's certain where all the souls go
Maybe you can show me how to live right
And come see how it all ends wrong

I'm supposed to be the one who brings us all together
Weak or strong, not just a song
We sing along when things go wrong
You will need me when you fall
And I will need you when I'm wrong
Tears lead me on
They let me lead you so far
Weak or strong, I'll hold your arm

I'll take you to a place so warm
Like the insides of a baby unborn
The Bible keeps telling me, 'Don't go!'
They don't know what I know, what?
You won't reap what I sow, what?
You won't cease when I blow, yup!
I won't leave when you go, nope!
Come with me, let us go home

I'm supposed to be the one who brings us all together
Weak or strong, not just a song
We sing along when things go wrong
You will need me when you fall
And I will need you when I'm wrong
Tears lead me on
They let me lead you so far
Weak or strong, I'll hold your arm

It Came Upon A Midnight Clear by Russ Taff



It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
From heavens all gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.

O ye beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow;
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.

For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold,
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace, their King,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

Pick Out a Christmas Tree by Dan + Shay



Downtown's gettin' busy
People everywhere
Stores are decorated
There's Christmas in the air
Santa's gettin' ready
Kids are countin' down
The only thing left to do right now is

Pick out a Christmas tree
Top shelf in aisle three
We'll tie it to the car
Hey, don't forget the star
And when we get back home
Plug it in and watch it glow
Been waitin' all year to
Light up the living room with you, ooh, ooh

You, ooh, ooh
With you, ooh, ooh
You, ooh, ooh

We'll light up all the stockings
Hang some mistletoe
And stay up past our bedtimes
Pray for it to snow until we

Pick out a Christmas tree
Top shelf in aisle three
We'll tie it to the car
Hey, don't forget the star
And when we get back home
Plug it in and watch it glow
Been waitin' all year to
Light up the living room with you, ooh, ooh

You, ooh, ooh
With you, ooh, ooh
You, ooh, ooh

So grab your kids and grab your coat
December's here with your [?]

Pick out a Christmas tree
Top shelf in aisle three
We'll tie it to the car
Hey, don't forget the star
And when we get back home
Plug it in and watch it glow
Been waitin' all year to
Light up the living room with you, ooh, ooh

You, ooh, ooh
With you, ooh, ooh
You, ooh, ooh
You, ooh, ooh
You, ooh, ooh (Yeah)
With you, ooh, ooh
You, ooh, ooh

Go pick out a Christmas tree with you

Ain't That a Shame by Fats Domino



You made me cry
when you said, "goodbye"

Ain't that a shame?
my tears fell like rain.
Ain't that a shame?
you're the one to blame.

You broke my heart
when you said we'll part

Ain't that a shame?
my tears fell like rain.
Ain't that a shame?
you're the one to blame

Oh well, goodbye
although I'll cry.

Ain't that a shame...

How Do You Do It? by Beth Crowley



I've been
Walking a tightrope
Wearing a blindfold
Trying to keep my balance

Meanwhile
You're out there acting
Like I never happened
Why would you be so callous?

And everybody's expecting
Time will just let me
Find a way to carry on

How do you do it?
You make it look easy
Being without me
I'm going through it
Can't get you off my mind

Tell me your secret
'Cause I'm tired of crying
If this is one-sided
Apparently there's nothing to it
So how do you do it?

All my
Days are too quiet
Deafening silence
Hangs over every moment

Colors
Turn a shade grayer
As we become strangers
You hardly seem to notice

It feels like I've got my hands tied
It's not a fair fight
And you've known it from the start

How do you do it?
You make it look easy
Being without me
I'm going through it
Can't get you off my mind

Tell me your secret
'Cause I'm tired of crying
If this is one-sided
Apparently there's nothing to it
So how do you do it?

I might be bitter and lonely
But you would never guess
I'm putting on a performance
'Cause I learned from the best

How do you do it?
You make it look easy
Being without me
I'm going through it
Can't get you off my mind

Tell me your secret
'Cause I'm tired of crying
If this is one-sided
Apparently there's nothing to it
So how do you do it?

Tacky by Weird Al Yankovic


It might seem crazy, wearing stripes with plaid
I Instagram every meal I've had
All my used liquor bottles are on display
We can go to see a show but I'll make you pay

(because I'm tacky)
Wear my belt with suspenders and sandals with my socks
(because I'm tacky)
Got some new glitter Uggs and lovely pink-sequined Crocs
(because I'm tacky)
Never let you forget some favor I did for you
(because I'm tacky)
If you're okay with that, you might just be tacky, too

I meet some chick, ask her this and that
Like 'Are you pregnant girl, or just really fat?' (what?)
Well, now I'm dropping names almost constantly
That's what Kanye West keeps telling me, here's why

(because I'm tacky)
Wear my Ed Hardy shirt with fluorescent orange pants
(because I'm tacky)
Got my new resumé it's printed in Comic Sans
(because I'm tacky)
Think it's fun threatening waiters with a bad Yelp review
(because I'm tacky)
If you think that's just fine, then you're probably tacky, too

Bring me shame, can't nothing
Bring me shame, I never know why
Bring me shame, can't nothing
Bring me shame, I said (tell you now)
Bring me shame, can't nothing
Bring me shame, it's pointless to try
Bring me shame, can't nothing
Bring me shame, I said

(because I'm tacky)
43 bumper stickers and a "YOLO" license plate
(because I'm tacky)
Bring along my coupon book whenever I'm on a date
(because I'm tacky)
Practice my twerking moves in line at the DMV
(because I'm tacky)
Took the whole bowl of restaurant mints. Hey, it said they're free
(because I'm tacky)
I get drunk at the bank
And take off my shirt, at least
(because I'm tacky)
I would live-tweet a funeral, take selfies with the deceased
(because I'm tacky)
If I'm bit by a zombie, I'm probably not telling you
(because I'm tacky)
If you don't think that's bad, guess what, then you're tacky, too

Pray For Peace by Dana Key


In the East, in the cradle of the world
Lies the jewel desired of kings
Even though it's just a diamond in the rough
There will come a time when its light will shine

Don't you know, that city of Jerusalem
Is a beacon to the world
It holds the key that opens ancient prophecy
To the sons of grace, it's a holy place

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
Pray for the peace of the world
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
Pray for the peace of the world

And as we part, don't allow your heart to fail
I'll come again for you one day
Keep your eyes looking to Jerusalem
As you rise each day, don't forget to pray

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
Pray for the peace of the world
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
Pray for the peace of the world

Pray for Jerusalem
Pray for the world
Pray for Jerusalem
Pray for the world

In the East, in the cradle of the world
Lies the jewel desired of kings
Even though it's just a diamond in the rough
There will come a time when its light will shine

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
Pray for the peace of the world

Pray for Jerusalem
Pray for the world
Pray for Jerusalem
Pray for the world

Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley



Well, since my baby left me
Well, I found a new place to dwell
Well, it's down at the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel

Where I'll be, I'll be so lonely baby
Well, I'm so lonely
I'll be so lonely, I could die

Although it's always crowded
You still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers
To cry there in their gloom

They'll be so, they'll be so lonely baby
They get so lonely
They're so lonely, they could die

Now, the bell hop's tears keep flowin'
And the desk clerk's dressed in black
Well, they've been so long on Lonely Street
They'll never, never look back

And they get so, they get so lonely baby
Well they are so lonely
They're so lonely, they could die

Well, now, if your baby leaves you
And you got a tale to tell
Well, just take a walk down Lonely Street
To Heartbreak Hotel

Where you will be, you will be so lonely baby
Well you will be lonely
You'll be so lonely, you could die

Although it's always crowded
But you still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers to cry there in their gloom

Where they get so, they get so lonely baby
Well they're so lonely
They'll be so lonely, they could die

Stay by Black Stone Cherry



Id sell my soul just to see your face
And id break my bones just to heal your pain
And in these times I need a saving grace
Cause time is running out and I'm starting to lose my faith

[Chorus:]
But if I told you I loved you would it make you wanna stay
I'm sorry for the way I make you feel day after day
And if I wrote you a love song and sang it to you everyday
Would it ever be enough to make you wanna come back home to stay
Would it make you, make you wanna stay.

My hearts on my sleeve but it's turning black
And without your touch I'm not gonna last
It feels like my walls are cavin in
And I'll do anything to have you here again

[Chorus]

The days are cold the nights are long
And I can't stand to be alone
Please know this is not your fault
And all I want is to tell you I love you
And make you wanna stay.
I'm sorry for the way I make you feel day after day
And if I wrote you a love song and sang it to you everyday
Would it ever be enough to make you wanna come back home to stay

Would it make you, make you wanna stay
(I'm sorry for my ways)
Would it make you, make you wanna stay
(Will it ever be enough)
Would it make you, make you wanna stay

You're Still the One by Shania Twain


When I first saw you, I saw love
And the first time you touched me, I felt love
And after all this time
You're still the one I love
Mm, yeah

Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together, still going strong

(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight

Ain't nothing better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missing

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together, still going strong

(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight
You're still the one

(Yeah, you're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(Ooh, you're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight

I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come my baby

the Power of Love by Huey Lewis & the News



The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling that's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night

[Chorus 1:]
You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go'round

[Chorus 2:]
And it don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don't care
But you'll know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it?
Hmmm

[Chorus 3:]
It don't take money and it don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won't feel nothin' till you feel
You feel the power, just feel the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love

Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There is a Season) by the Byrds



To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late!
