Favorite Song Lyrics (Snippets)

[touch]

Once, I dreamed that you were gone
I cried out trying to find you
I begged the dream to fade away
And please awaken me

But night took a hold of my heart
And left me with no one to follow
The love that I lost to the dark
I'll always remember

Forever in my heart
Forever here you'll be
Know that when I'm gone
You'll be near to me
Forever in my life
Always thought I'd be
I'd be yours

Forever

Kenny Loggins

[Argonne69]

I've been cheated
Been mistreated
When will I be loved?

 

I've been made blue
I've been lied to
When will I be loved?

 

- Linda Ronstadt 

 

[Triple Lindy]

And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
 

- Bill Withers

Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away - Otis Redding (you knew that)

One foot on the platform, the other on the train, goin' back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain - Animals

Just another link in your chain - Aretha and Eva

I go out walkin' after midnight, just like we used to do - Patsy Cline

[DArnie]

The big bosomed lady with the Dutch accent
Who tried to change my point of view         

 

Oh Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face

                                                                                      Rod Stewart

 

And baby, baby
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before
Ain't it good
Ain't it right
That you are with me here tonight                       Andy Kim

 

 

 

 

 

 

[touch]

Like the north wind whistlin' down the sky
I've got a song, I've got a song
Like the whirlpool whirl and the baby's cry
I've got a song, I've got a song

And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud

Movin' me down the highway
Rollin' me down the highway
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by

Charley was one of my mom's favorite artists, and this song could be heard around the house frequently. 

 

Whenever I've chance to meet
Some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man get to be this way

 

I've always got a smilin' face
Any time and any place
And everytime they ask me why, I just smile and say

 

You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like the devil when you get back home

 

- Charley Pride 

 

[Triple Lindy]

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
 

- Paul Simon

[Malvern]

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscle
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
And he said

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover, yeah"

[bscinstnct]

This is a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose
They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso
That's where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobbie Sue took the money and run

 

-Everybody knows!

 

[Argonne69]

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Could've sworn it was judgment day

 

The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care

 

Say, say, 2000, zero, zero, party over

Oops, out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

 

- Prince 

 

[Triple Lindy]

She left me here stranded like a dog out in the yard
Charged up a fortune on my credit card
 

- Bob Seger

[Argonne69]

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see

 

But if I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change

Oh, oh, oh, oh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird, you cannot change
Lord knows, I can't change

 

- Lynyrd Skynyrd

 

[DArnie]

Amie, what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do       PPLeague

 

Southern skies
Have you ever noticed Southern skies? (In southern skies)
Its precious beauty lies
Just beyond the eye it goes running through your soul
Like the stories told of old

 

Old man
He and his dog, that walk the old land
Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by
Weepin' willows would cry for joy, joy

Feel so good
Feel so good, it's frightening
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting                             Glen Campbell

 

 

 

[touch]

Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
Something that's so close
And still so far out of reach

 

Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl

 

 

 Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.

 

 

Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me
Darlin', if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me
Darlin', if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me

 

 

Diamond girl
You sure do shine
Glad I found you
Glad you're mine

When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you

When I get drunk, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And when I haver, hey I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

 

And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watching the puddles gather rain
And all I can do
Is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view
But it's not sane
It's not sane                              Blind Melon

Please come to Boston for the Springtime
I'm stayin' here with some friends and they've got lotsa room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a café where I hope to be workin' soon
Please come to Boston
She said "No-would you come home to me?"

And she said, "hey ramblin' boy now wontcha settle down?"
"Boston ain't your kinda town"
"There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me"
"I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee"

 

Dave Loggins

[DArnie]

Who wants to brave those bronzed beauties
Lyin' in the sun?
With their long soft hair falling
Flying as they run
Ah, they smile so shy and they flirt so well
And they lay down so fast
Till you look straight up and say:
"Oh, Lord am I really here at last?"

 

And head out (who wants to go to Fire Lake)
And head out (who wants to go to Fire Lake)                   Bob Seger

When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go
Downtown
When you've got worries all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help I know
Downtown

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

The light's so much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

 

So go downtown
Things will be great when you're
Downtown
No finer place for sure
Downtown
Everything's waiting for you (downtown, downtown)

You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people
You can feel it all over
You can feel it all over people             

 

No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day

 

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart                           Stevie

 

 

[DArnie]

Catfish are jumping, that paddle wheel thumping
Black water keep rolling on past just the same

 

I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty Mama come and take me by the hand
By the hand (hand), take me by the hand pretty Mama
Come and dance with your daddy all night long

[DArnie]

Oh, well, a touch of grey, kinda suits you anyway
That was all I had to say and it's alright

I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive

We will get by
We will get by
We will get by
We will survive               The Grateful Dead

20, 20, 24 hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothin' to do, nowhere to go-oh
I wanna be sedated

 

Just get me to the airport, put me on a plane
Hurry, hurry, hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain
Oh, no, oh-oh, oh-oh

Sherry was a waitress at the only joint in town
She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around
Down Main Street after midnight, brand new pack of cigs
A fresh one hangin' from her lips, a beer between her legs
She'd ride down to the river and meet with all her friends
The road goes on forever and the party never ends

Sonny was a loner, older than the rest
He was goin' in the Navy but couldn't pass the test
So he hung around town, he sold a little pot
The law caught wind of Sonny and one day he got caught
But he was back in business when they set him free again
The road goes on forever and the party never ends
