Rock Me Tonight by Billy Squier

Previous Song - Mean by Taylor Swift

Next Song - Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran

Trust me, you don't want to watch this video. While googling for the info for this post, I read an article where they were trying to figure out whether this song destroyed his career, it's that bad. I owned the album before this one but I still know the song. He has a song that's close to my top 10 but didn't quite make the list. It's not this song though.

I'm rockin' tonite--I'm walkin' on air

Gonna find me some trouble--gonna grab my share

I want ya tonite--I want ya with me

Make me guilty of love in the first degree

(You want it all right)...We're goin' in style

Say you walk right--you talk right--and your hair's so wild

(Snow-white)--Hey that's not what I mean

We go down in the shadows and crawl between

Moonlight in the city brings the magic to your eyes

Freezin' a moment--leave me paralyzed

Breathe an emotion--set it dancin' in my ear

Bring on the rhythm when I hold you near

Take me in your arms--roll me through the night

Take me to your heart--rock me tonite

(You do it all right)--You're passion to see

You been schooled in the arts of romancin' me

(Hold tight)--You're in for a ride

Can you feel the blood poundin' way down inside

--No one's stoppin' us now--

We go down, down where the music's loud

(If it's all night)--Hey that's all right by me

Go and play on my love--play it all for me

Life's never easy--we can make it if we try

Takin' our chances--fac'em side by side

Live for the moment--on that we can agree

Come and take me where I long to be

Take me in your arms--roll me through the night

Take me to your heart--rock me tonite

A time for all...and all in time

A step beyond the borderline

Of who we are and where we long to be...

When every night you hear the sound

Of wakin' up and breakin' down

You find a chance and heave it all away

Take me in your arms--roll me through the night

Take me to your heart--rock me tonite

Casual Christian by DeGarmo & Key

Previous Song - Penny Lane by the Beatles

Next Song - Leave the Memories Alone by Fuel

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. It was at a conference in Indianapolis. While I listened to the band already, I hadn't heard this song. Come to find out, it was an earlier album before I started listening to Christian music.

This song is listed on the Memories page.

It's more than a wish, more than a daydream

More than just a passing whim

Yes, I've said this all before

A thousand times or more

I don't wanna waste my life in chains of sin

Chorus

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be a casual Christian

I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live a lukewarm life

Because I wanna light up the night

With an everlasting light

I don't wanna live the casual Christian life

This life is filled with strong distractions

One pulls from the left one from the right

I've already made up my mind

Gonna leave this world behind

Gonna make my life a living sacrifice

Cumbersome by Seven Mary Three

Previous Song - ?

Next Song - Angel of the Morning by Juice Newton

I dig the chorus to this song. It's one of those songs that you have to sing when it comes on. I don't know if I have any more songs by Seven Mary Three or not. I would like to say I do because I like this song, but I couldn't tell you for sure. Guess we'll find out.

She calls me Goliath and I wear the David mask

I guess the stones are coming too fast for her now

You know I'd like to believe this nervousness will pass

All the stones that are thrown are building up the wall

I have become cumbersome to this world

I have become cumbersome to my girl

I'd like to believe we could reconcile the past

Resurrect those bridges with an ancient glance

But my old stone face can't seem to break her down

She remembers bridges, burns them to the ground.

I have become cumbersome to this world

I have become cumbersome to my girl

Too heavy, too light

Too black or too white

Too wrong or too right

Today or tonight

Cumbersome

Too rich or too poor

She's wanting me less and I'm wanting her more

A bitter taste is cumbersome

There is a balance between two worlds

One with an arrow and a cross

Regardless of the balance

Life has become cumbersome

Too heavy, too light

Too black or too white

Too wrong or too right

Today or tonight

Cumbersome

Too rich or too poor

She's wanting me less and I'm wanting her more

A bitter taste is cumbersome

Your life has become cumbersome

• This is my first song by Seven Mary Three on this blog.
• This is my first song released in 1995 on this blog.
• This is the ninth song in the Rock genre on this blog.
• The reason for the question on the previous song spot is because my phone lost what I listened to before. It usually only does that when I put it on the charger, which I haven't so I don't know what's up. I feel like the song is on the tip of my tongue, I know it was a rock song but I don't remember.
• I'm thinking about adding a memories page for those songs that trigger a memory of some sort. You know, you hear a song and it takes you back to a certain time you remember listening to it or it reminds you of a certain time. I'll probably do that tomorrow. I might have to go through the posts already posted to see if anything there falls into that category. I already know there is at least one.

Never Enough by Five Finger Death Punch

Previous Song - All-American Girl by Carrie Underwood

Next Song - Blow Me (One Last Kiss) by Pink

This song almost made my top 10 Jams list, I probably could put it on there and bump something off because it's that close. This won't be the only song by FFDP on this blog.

It doesn't surprise me that the Rock genre is leading the way because that's all I listened to for about a decade before I met my wife and she opened my eyes to other stuff. It also doesn't surprise me that it ended on a rock song because my daughter and I were jamming to my Summer Jams playlist, which is all the music I like to crank in the car.

I'm so fed up with everyone around me

No one seems to care

I'm just so far gone and nothing's gonna change

I'll never be the same

It's always do this, do that, everything they want to

I don't wanna live that way (No!)

Every chance they get they're always pushing me away

It's never enough, no it's never enough

No matter what I say

It's never enough, no it's never enough

I'll never be what you want me to be

It's all so messed up and no one ever listens

Everyone's deranged

I'm just so fucked up and I'm never gonna change

I wanna lay it all to waste

They're always say this, say that, nothing that you want to

I don't wanna live that way (No!)

Every chance they get they're always shoving me aside

It's never enough, no it's never enough

No matter what I say

It's never enough, no it's never enough

I'll never be what you want me to be

I'M DONE!

In the end we're all just chalk lines on the concrete

Drawn only to be washed away

For the time that I've been given

I am what I am

I'd rather hate you for everything you are

Than ever love you for something you are not

I'd rather you hate me for everything I am

Than have you love me for something that I can't

It's never enough, it's never enough

No matter what I say

It's never enough, no it's never enough

No matter who I try to be

It's never enough, no it's never enough

No matter how I try to change

It's never enough, never never enough

I'll never be what you want me to be

Burnin' it Down by Jason Aldean

Previous Song - Plowed by Sponge

Next Song - Eruption by Van Halen

I don't know most country that well as I have only been listening to it for a few years now. All I know about Jason Aldean is I'm pretty sure my wife has seen him in concert. I couldn't even tell you off the top of my head if I have any other songs by him on my playlist. I would guess yes, but I don't know for sure.

You slip your finger through the tear in my t-shirt

You stirrin' up dirty in the back of my mind

You keep on flirtin'

Cause you know that it's workin'

You stuck in my head girl writing the lines

Couldn't sing this song without you if I tried

Let's light it up like it's our last night

We're just hanging around

Burnin' it down

Sippin' on some cold Jack Daniel's

Jammin' to some old Alabama with you baby

Laying right here naked in my bed

I'm just doing my thing

You love it when I sing

Say it makes you feel like an angel

We about to get a little tangled up right about now

So girl let's keep burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Girl when you want it

You know that I'm on it

You know that I love lovin' up on you

Let's hit the switch and let our shadows dance

And light it up like it's our last chance

We're just hanging around

Burnin' it down

Sippin' on some cold Jack Daniel's

Jammin' to some old Alabama with you baby

Laying right here dreamin in my bed

I'm just doing my thing

You love it when I sing

Say it makes you feel like an angel

We about to get a little tangled up right about now

So girl let's keep burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

I wanna rock it all night

Baby girl will you rock it out with me?

I wanna crawl through the dark

Just to feel your heartbeat against me

I wanna rock it all night

Baby girl will you rock it out with me?

I wanna crawl through the dark

Just to feel your heartbeat against me

We're just hanging around

Burnin' it down

Sippin' on some cold Jack Daniel's

Jammin' to some old Alabama with you baby

Laying right here naked in my bed

I'm just doing my thing

You love it when I sing

Say it makes you feel like an angel

We about to get a little tangled up right about now

So girl let's keep burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

Burnin' it down

I wanna rock it all night

Baby girl will you rock it out with me?

I wanna crawl through the dark

Just to feel your heartbeat against me

Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne

Previous Song - Breakeven by the Script

Next Song - Love is a Battlefield by Tiffany

I'm not a huge fan of Ozzy but a few of his songs have grown on me over the years. I hear this song and it reminds me of working at the video store because I borrowed the CD from the stock just to see what all the fuss was about. I don't think I realized how old this song was, I didn't really start listening to it until the early 90's. I was only a decade late.

All aboard! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! 

Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay 

Crazy, but that's how it goes 

Millions of people living as foes 

Maybe it's not too late 

To learn how to love 

And forget how to hate 

Mental wounds not healing 

Life's a bitter shame 

I'm going off the rails on a crazy train 

I'm going off the rails on a crazy train 

Let's go! 

I've listened to preachers 

I've listened to fools 

I've watched all the dropouts 

Who make their own rules 

One person conditioned to rule and control 

The media sells it and you live the role 

Mental wounds still screaming 

Driving me insane 

I'm going off the rails on a crazy train 

I'm going off the rails on a crazy train 

I know that things are going wrong for me 

You gotta listen to my words 

Yeah 

Heirs of a cold war 

That's what we've become 

Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb 

Crazy, I just cannot bear 

I'm living with something' that just isn't fair 

Mental wounds not healing 

Who and what's to blame 

I'm going off the rails on a crazy train 

I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

A Little Bit of Everything by Keith Urban

Previous Song - Bitch by Meredith Brooks

Next Song - Jeopardy by Greg Kihn

You'll see a bunch of Keith Urban on this blog, I haven't really put any thought into who is my favorite country singer, but he would be in the running. His love songs are fantastic and even his upbeat stuff is pretty good. My wife watched American Idol so I saw his personality on that show so it helps he seems to be a pretty good guy.

I wish I could take a cab down to the creek

And hang a disco ball from an old oak tree

Smoke and drink once in a while

Somehow it'd be good for me

I want a cool chick that'll cook for me

But'll dance on the bar in her tan bare feet

And do what I want when I want and she'll do it with me

I don't need too much of nothing

I just wanna sing a little chill song

Get my groove on

Pour something strong

Down in my drink

Oh, I know

That I don't need a whole lot of anything

I just want a little bit of everything

Na na na na, na na na na

I just want a little bit of everything

Na na na na, na na na na

Now I don't need a garage full of cars

But I'll take a whole box of Cuban cigars

And I'll smoke 'em nice and slow

Like they were good for me

Don't need a ranch or a big piece of land

But I like to get a little bit of dirt on my hands

A big ole couch in a big ole room

Still feels lonely when it's just you

Yes it does

I don't need too much of nothing

I just wanna sing a little chill song

Get my groove on

Pour something strong

Down in my drink

Oh, I know

That I don't need a whole lot of anything

I just want a little bit of everything

Na na na na, na na na na

A little bit of everything

Under the sun

So, when I kick back basking in it

I'll be OK with what I've done

Still having fun

Cause I don't need too much of nothing

I just wanna sing a little chill song

Get my groove on

Pour something strong

Down in my drink

Oh, I know

That I don't need a whole lot of anything

I just want a little bit of everything

Na na na na, na na na na

I just want a little bit of everything

Na na na na, na na na na

I just want a little bit of everything

Yeah yea yea

Whoa, whoa, oh yeah

Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen

Previous Song - Irish Drinking Song by DaVinci's Notebook

Next Song - Mammas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson

I almost forgot to post today, oops! Another 80s song and probably one of the most popular songs of that era or at least that summer. I shouldn't have to tell you that I have other songs by the Boss.

I had a friend was a big baseball player

Back in high school

He could throw that speed ball by you

Make you look like a fool boy

Saw him the other night at this roadside bar

I was walking in, he was walking out

We went back inside sat down had a few drinks

But all he kept talking about was

Glory days, well they'll pass you by

Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days

Well there's a girl that lives up the block

Back in school she could turn all the boy's heads

Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by

And have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed

Her and her husband Bobby, well they split up

I guess it's two years gone by now

We just sit around talking about the old times,

She says when she feels like crying

She starts laughing thinking about

Glory days well they'll pass you by

Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days

I think I'm going down to the well tonight

And I'm going to drink till I get my fill

And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it

But I probably will

Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture

A little of the glory of, well time slips away

And leaves you with nothing mister but

Boring stories of glory days

Glory days well they'll pass you by

Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days

Well they'll pass you by

Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days

Well alright oo yeah

Well alright come on now

Well alright oo yeah

Well alright come on now

With you, with you, with you, with you

All right boys keep it rocking now

Keep on going, we gonna go home now

Bring it home, yeah bring it home

Alright, alright, well alright, well alright, well alright, well alright

Well alright, alright, alright, let's go

Love Bites by Def Leppard

Previous Song - Who's Crying Now by Journey

Next Song - What If I Sumble by DC Talk

A great song but not even the best on the album. This was a pretty awesome album back in the day.

If you've got love in your sights 

Watch out, love bites 

When you make love, do you look in the mirror? 

Who do you think of, does he look like me? 

Do you tell lies and say that it's forever? 

Do you think twice, or just touch 'n' see? 

Ooh babe ooh yeah 

When you're alone, do you let go? 

Are you wild 'n' willin' or is it just for show? 

Ooh c'mon 

I don't wanna touch you too much baby 

'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy 

I know you think that love is the way you make it 

So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it 

No! 

Love bites, love bleeds 

It's bringin' me to my knees 

Love lives, love dies 

It's no surprise 

Love begs, love pleads 

It's what I need 

When I'm with you are you somewhere else? 

Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself? 

When you wake up will you walk out? 

It can't be love if you throw it about 

Ooh babe 

I don't wanna touch you too much baby 

'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy 

[Repeat Chorus]

[guitar solo] 

Ooh yeah 

[Repeat Bridge]

Love bites, love bleeds 

It's bringin' me to my knees 

Love lives, love dies 

[Repeat Chorus]

If you've got love in your sights 

Watch out, love bites 

Yes it does 

It will be hell

• This is the first song on this blog by Def Leppard.

• This is the fifth song on this blog listed as 80s genre and sixth song listed as Rock.
• I had no idea if I should list this song under Rock or 80s. I was leaning towards Rock because it doesn't necessarily sound 80s but my wife said she thinks of it more as 80s. After much debate, I said screw it, I'm listing it under both. I just don't want to end up with all these oddball genres because depending on what it is, it may have 3 or 4 genres posted.

Bartender by Lady Antebellum

Previous Song - Won by One by Mylon & the Broken Heart

Next Song - Can't Stop This Thing We Started by Bryan Adams

Finished off the day with a pretty good country song. I have some more Lady Antebellum on the playlist so this won't be the last of them. When I first heard their band name, I assumed it was just the name that the lead singer went by.

8 o'clock on Friday night I'm still at home

All my girls just keep on blowing up my phone

Saying come on he ain't worth the pain

Do what you gotta do to forget his name

Now there's only one thing left for me to do

Slip on my favorite dress and sky-high leather boots

Check the mirror one last time

And kiss the past goodbye

[Chorus:]

What I'm really needing now

Is a double shot of Crown

Chase that disco ball around

Till I don't remember

Go until they cut me off

Wanna get a little lost

In the noise

In the lights

Hey bartender pour 'em hot tonight

Till the party and music and the truth collide

Bring it till his memory fades away

Hey bartender

Tonight I'll let a stranger pull me on the floor

Spin me round and let 'em buy a couple more

But before it goes too far I'll let him down easy

Cause tonight is all about

Dancing with my girls to the DJ

Put that song on replay

[Chorus:]

What I'm really needing now

Is a double shot of Crown

Chase that disco ball around

Till I don't remember

Go until they cut me off

Wanna get a little lost

In the noise

In the lights

Hey bartender pour 'em hot tonight

Till the party and music and the truth collide

Bring it till his memory fades away

Hey bartender

Feeling that buzz I'm ready to rock

Ain't no way I'm gonna tell you to stop

So pour that thing up to the top

I'm coming in hot

Hey Bartender

[Chorus:]

Oh what I'm really needing now

Is a double shot of Crown

Chase that disco ball around

Till I don't remember

Go until they cut me off

Wanna get a little lost

In the noise

In the lights

Hey bartender pour 'em hot tonight

Till the party and music and the truth collide

Bring it till his memory fades away

Hey bartender

Hey bartender
