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

Ha!

Knockin' on Heavens Door

Killing Me Softly by Fugees

This was a huge hit when it came out. Yes, I know it's a cover but it's really the only version that I know.

Strumming my pain with his fingers,

Singing my life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song,

Killing me softly with his song,

Telling my whole life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song.

Hi, yo yea yea.

This is wyclef refugee

El boogie up in here...

Rise well, little

While I'm on this I got my girl L one time! one time!

Hey yo L you know you got the lyrics!

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style,

And so I came to see him and listen for a while.

And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes,

Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time),

Singing my life with his words (two times),

Killing me softly with his song,

Killing me softly with his song,

Telling my whole life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song.

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,

I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.

I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on...

Strumming my pain with his fingers (one time),

Singing my life with his words (two times),

Killing me softly with his song,

Killing me softly with his song,

Telling my whole life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song

Yo L-Boogie, take it to the bridge

Strumming my pain with his fingers (yes, he was singing),

Singing my life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song,

Killing me softly with his song,

Telling my whole life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song.

Strumming my pain

Singing my life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song,

Killing me softly with his song,

Santa Monica by Everclear

I remember this song being popular back when I started really getting into rock music so it's a favorite just for that, let alone it's just a good song.

I am still livin' with your ghost

Lonely and dreamin' of the west coast

I don't wanna be your downtime

I don't wanna be your stupid game

With my big black boots and an old suitcase

I do believe I'll find myself a new place

I don't wanna be the bad guy

I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance anymore

I just wanna see some palm trees

I will try and shake away this disease

We can live beside the ocean

Leave the fire behind

Swim out past the breakers

Watch the world die

We can live beside the ocean

Leave the fire behind

Swim out past the breakers

Watch the world die

I am still dreamin' of your face

Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away

I don't wanna be your good time

I don't wanna be your fallback crutch anymore

Walk right out into a brand new day

Insane and risin' in my own weird way

I don't wanna be the bad guy

I don't wanna do your sleepwalk dance anymore

I just wanna feel some sunshine

I just wanna find some place to be alone

Yeah watch the world die
