Maggie's Song by Chris Stapleton

Let me tell you a story

About an old friend of mine

Somebody left her in a shopping cart

In a parking lot for us to find

Just a fuzzy black pup

She was hungry and feeling alone

We put her in the back seat

Told her we were taking her home

Run, Maggie, run

With the heart of a rebel child

Oh, run, Maggie, run

Be just as free as you are wild

A few kids later

We moved out on the farm

And she followed those kids around

Yeah, she kept them safe from harm

And she loved to chase squirrels

And playing out in the snow

She'd take off like a bullet

Man, you should have seen her go

Run, Maggie, run

With the heart of a rebel child

Oh, run, Maggie, run

Be just as free as you are wild

It was raining on a Monday

The day that Maggie died

She woke up and couldn't use her legs

So I laid down by her side

She put her head on my hand

Like she'd done so many times

I told her she was a good dog

Then I told her goodbye

Run, Maggie, run

With the heart of a rebel child

Oh, run, Maggie, run

Be just as free as you are wild

I had a revelation

As the tractor dug a hole

I can tell you right now

That a dog has a soul

And I thought to myself

As we buried her on the hill

I never knew me a better dog

And I guess I never will

Run, Maggie, run

With the heart of a rebel child

Oh, run, Maggie, run

Be just as free as you are wild

Oh, run, Maggie, run

With the heart of a rebel child

Oh, run, Maggie, run

Be just as free as you are wild

Flavor of the Week by American Hi-Fi

She paints her nails and she don't know

He's got her best friend on the phone

She'll wash her hair

His dirty clothes are all he gives to her

And he's got posters on the wall

Of all the girls he wished she was

And he means everything to her

[Chorus:]

Her boyfriend, he don't know

Anything about her

He's too stoned, Nintendo

I wish that I could make her see

She's just the flavor of the weak

It's Friday night and she's all alone

He's a million a miles away

She's dressed to kill

The TV's on

He's connected to the sound

And he's got pictures on the wall

Of all the girls he's loved before

And she knows all his favorite songs

[Repeat chorus]

Yeah!

Her boyfriend, he don't know

Anything about her

He's too stoned, he's too stoned

He's too stoned, he's too stoned

[Repeat chorus]

Yeah she's the flavor of the weak

She makes me weak

Waiting for Lightning by Steven Curtis Chapman

Standing on the edge of the truth

Looking out at the view

Of all you used to believe

From where you are

You can see you're far away from home

Echoes of the life you once knew

Call out to you from across the divide

And you know it's time

To step back over the line

But you're...

Waiting for lightening

A sign that it's time for a change

You're listening for thunder

While He quietly whispers your name

Night falls and the curtain goes down

No one's around, it's just you and the truth

As you lie and wait

For a feeling to take you by storm

Somewhere in the depths of your heart

Where it's empty and dark

There's a flicker of light

And the Spirit calls

But do you know notice at all?

Or are you...

[Chorus]

But the sign and the word

Have already been given

And now it's by faith

That we must look, and we must listen

Instead of...

[Chorus]

He whispers your name

Don't wait, don't wait

Paperback Writer by the Beatles

Paperback writer

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?

It took me years to write, will you take a look?

It's based on a novel by a man named Lear

And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer

Paperback writer

It's the dirty story of a dirty man

And his clinging wife doesn't understand

His son is working for the Daily Mail

It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer

Paperback writer

Paperback writer

It's a thousand pages, give or take a few

I'll be writing more in a week or two

I can make it longer if you like the style

I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer

Paperback writer

If you really like it you can have the rights

It could make a million for you overnight

If you must return it, you can send it here

But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer

Paperback writer

Paperback writer

Paperback writer, paperback writer

Paperback writer, paperback writer

Paperback writer, paperback writer

Paperback writer, paperback writer (fade out)

Layla by Eric Clapton

What'll you do when you get lonely

But nobody's waiting by your side?

You've been running and hiding much too long

You know it's just your foolish pride

Layla

You've got me on my knees

Layla

I'm begging, darling, please

Layla

Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

I tried to give you consolation

When your old man had let you down

Like a fool, I fell in love with you

You turned my whole world upside down

Layla

You've got me on my knees

Layla

I'm begging, darling, please

Layla

Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

Let's make the best of the situation

Before I finally go insane

Please don't say we'll never find a way

And tell me all my love's in vain

Layla

You've got me on my knees

Layla

I'm begging, darling, please

Layla

Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

Layla

You've got me on my knees

Layla

I'm begging, darling, please

Layla

Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

Whoo, whoo, whoo...

Hot for Teacher by Van Halen

Oh wow, man that's a—

Wait a second man

What do you think the teacher's gonna look like this year?

My butt, man

T-t-teacher stop that screaming

Teacher don't you see?

Don't wanna be no uptown fool

Maybe I should go to hell

But I am doin' well

Teacher needs to see me after school

I think of all the education that I missed

But then my homework was never quite like this

Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad

I'm hot for teacher

I got it bad, so bad

I'm hot for teacher

Hey, I heard you missed us, we're back

I brought my pencil

Gimme something to write on, man

I heard about your lessons

But lessons are so cold

I know about this school

Little girl from Cherry Lawn

How can you be so bold?

How did you know that golden rule?

I think of all the education that I've missed

But then my homework was never quite like this!

Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad

I'm hot for teacher

I got it bad, so bad

I'm hot for teacher

Oh man, I think that clock is slow

I don't feel tardy

Class dismissed

I got it bad, got it bad, got it bad

I'm hot for teacher

Yes I'm hot

Oh my god

the Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby and the Range

Standing in line, marking time

Waiting for the welfare dime

'Cause they can't buy a job

The man in the silk suit hurries by

As he catches the poor old lady's eyes

Just for fun he says, "Get a job"

That's just the way it is

Some things will never change

That's just the way it is

Ah, but don't you believe them

Said hey, little boy, you can't go where the others go

'Cause you don't look like they do

Said hey, old man, how can you stand to think that way?

And did you really think about it before you made the rules?

He said, son

That's just the way it is

Some things will never change

That's just the way it is

Ah, but don't you believe them, yeah

That's just the way it is

That's just the way it is

Well, they passed a law in '64

To give those who ain't got a little more

But it only goes so far

'Cause the law don't change another's mind

When all it sees at the hiring time

Is the light on the color bar, no

That's just the way it is

Some things will never change

That's just the way it is

That's just the way it is, it is, it is, it is

Blue Bayou by Linda Ronstadt

I feel so bad I got a worried mind

I'm so lonesome all the time

Since I left my baby behind

On Blue Bayou

Saving nickles saving dimes

Working til the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times

On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday

Come what may

To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine

And the world is mine

On Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise

Through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be

Gonna see my baby again

Gonna be with some of my friends

Maybe I'll feel better again

On Blue Bayou

Saving nickles saving dimes

Working til the sun don't shine

Looking forward to happier times

On Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday

Come what may

To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine

And the world is mine

On Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats

With their sails afloat

If I could only see

That familiar sunrise

Through sleepy eyes

How happy I'd be

Oh that boy of mine

By my side

The silver moon

And the evening tide

Oh some sweet day

Gonna take away

This hurting inside

Well I'll never be blue

My dreams come true

On Blue Bayou

Here Without You by 3 Doors Down

A hundred days have made me older

Since the last time that I saw your pretty face

A thousand lies have made me colder

And I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles that separate

Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you, baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you, baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you, baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight, it's only you and me, yeah

The miles just keep rolling

As the people leave their way to say hello

I've heard this life is overrated

But I hope that it gets better as we go

Oh yeah, yeah

I'm here without you, baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you, baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you, baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight, girl, it's only you and me, yeah

Everything I know, and anywhere I go

It gets hard, but it won't take away my love

And when the last one falls

When it's all said and done

It gets hard, but it won't take away my love

Whoa, oh, oh

I'm here without you, baby

But you're still on my lonely mind

I think about you, baby

And I dream about you all the time

I'm here without you, baby

But you're still with me in my dreams

And tonight, girl, it's only you and me

Yeah

Oh, yeah
