Next Thing You Know (Thirteen)"

 

I remember when I was thirteen

I saw a picture on my TV screen

The Reverend Billy Graham and the people sing “Just As I Am”

And I felt like You were talking to me

 

And the whole world seemed to fade away

Until I heard my mother say

“Son, are you ok? Do you wanna pray?

And that became the hour I first believed

 

Chorus:

And next thing you know

I’m high and flying, next thing you know

My heart is in Your hands, next thing you know

There is no denying, next thing you know

I’m a brand new man

 

Well I wish I could say I always stayed right there

And I did until my freshman year

But the world was pulling me along way from thirteen

And You were calling but I didn’t hear

 

Still I knew there was something more

So one day my knees hit the dorm room floor

I said “If You’re there and if You really care

Come and talk to me like I was thirteen”

 

Chorus:

 

I Got a picture in my head today

Of how Heaven might look someday

I see the people there so I pull up a chair

And their stories they blew me away

 

‘Cause I can see it on every face

Their evidence of grace

And as I listen it occurs to me

Everybody’s got their own thirteen

 

(2X’s)

So what’s your story about His glory?

You gotta find your place in the history of grace

 

Chorus: (2X’s)

Figment - Michael Penn

 

Leave it for a while; come back

Leave it for a while; come back

Leave it for a while; come back

What would make a smile on you?

 

Are you closing in?Come back

Are you still believing what you read?

Are you still believing every word?

(That is what I heard)

But before the day is done

You will notice one

Is caught inside a web somebody spun

In your imagination

 

Treaded water 'til I made you cry

But I loved you more

Than I will now recall at all

I was born to call that bluff

And isn't history

Just a bargain and a plea

That we'd all know what to break

And what to rise above

Do you think that love

Is a figment of your imagination?

 

Leave it for a while; come back

Leave it for a while; come back

Leave it for a while; come back

What would make a smile on you?

 

Are you closing in?

Are you now receiving what you need?

Go find your magician now

I'm an apparition

Under some suspicion

So I flew

And the sky's so blue

For a coup d'etat in your imagination...

Casting Crowns

"Lifesong"

 

Empty hands held high

Such small sacrifice

If not joined with my life

I sing in vain tonight

 

May the words I say

And the things I do

Make my lifesong sing

Bring a smile to You

 

Chorus:

Let my lifesong sing to You

Let my lifesong sing to You

I want to sign your name to the end of this day

Knowing that my heart was true

Let my lifesong sing to You

 

Lord, I give my life

A living sacrafice

To reach a world in need

To be Your hands and feet

 

So may the words I say

And the things I do make my lifesong sing

Bring a smile to you

 

Chorus:

 

(2x’s)

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Let my lifesong sing to You

 

Chorus: (2x’s)

George Strait - Write This Down

 

I never saw the end in sight, fools are kinda blind

thought everything was going all right, but I was running out of time

cause you have one foot out the door, I swear I didn't see

but if you'r really going away, heres some final words from me

 

[chorus]

Baby write this down, take a little note

To remind you in case you didn't know

Tell yourself "I love you" and I don't want you to go

Write this down!

Take my words and read them everyday

Keep them close by, don't you let them fade away

so you'll remember what I forgot to say

Write this down!

 

I'll sign it at the bottom of the page, I'll swear under oath

Every single word is true, and I think you need to know

So use it as a book mark, stick it on your frigerator door

Hang it in a picture frame up above the mantle, where you can see it for sure

 

[chorus]

 

You can find the chizzle, I can find the stone

also be a-readin these words, long after we're gone

 

[chorus]

 

Oh, I love you and I dont want you to go...

Baby write this down!

"We Live"

 

There’s a cross on the side of the road

Where a mother lost a son

How could she know that morning he left

Would be the last time she’d trade with him for a little more time

So she could say she loved him one more time

And hold him tight

But with life we never know

When we’re coming to the end of the road

So what do we do then

With tragedy around the bend?

 

Chorus: (2 x’s)

We live we love

We forgive and never give up

Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above

Today we remember to live and to love

 

There is a man who waits for the tests

To see if the cancer has spread yet

And now he asks, “so why did I wait to live till it was time to die?

If I could have the time back how I’d live

Life is such a gift

So how does this story end?

Well this is your story and it all depends

So don’t let it become true

Get out and do what we were meant to do

 

Chorus: (2 x’s)

 

Waking up to another dark morning

People are mourning

The weather in life outside is storming

But what would it take for the clouds to break

For us to realize each day is a gift somehow someway

So get our heads up out of the darkness

And spark this new mindset and start to live life cuz it ain’t gone yet

And tragedy is a reminder to take off the blinders

And wake up and live the life we’re supposed to take up

Moving forward with all our heads up cuz life is worth living

 

Chorus: (3 x’s)

Click For Spoiler
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth

Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt

Still a little hard to say what's going on

 

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness

Still a little BIT of your face I haven't kissed

You step a little closer EACH DAY

Still I can't SAY what's going on

 

Stones taught me to fly

Love taught me to lie

Life taught me to die

So it's not hard to fall

When you float like a cannonball

 

Still a little bit of your song in my ear

Still a little bit of your words I long to hear

You step a little closer TO ME

So close that I can't see what's going on

 

Stones taught me to fly

Love taught me to lie

Life taught me to die

So it's not hard to fall

When you float like a cannon

 

Stones taught me to fly

Love taught me to cry

So come on courage!

Teach me to be shy

'Cause it's not hard to fall

And I don't WANNA scare her

It's not hard to fall

And I don't wanna lose

It's not hard to grow

When you know that you just don't know

 

Stones taught me to fly

Love taught me to lie

Life taught me to die

So it's not hard to fall

When you float like a cannonball

Imagine me and you I do

 

I think about you day and night

 

It's only right

 

To think about the girl you love

 

And hold her tight

 

So happy together

 

If I should call you up invest a dime

 

And you say you belong to me

 

And ease my mind

 

Imagine how the world could be

 

So very fine

 

So happy together

 

I can see me lovin' nobody but you

 

For all my life

 

When you're with me baby the skies'll be blue

 

For all my life

 

Me and you and you and me

 

No matter how they toss the dice

 

It had to be

 

The only one for me is you

 

And you for me

 

So happy together

 

I can see me lovin' nobody but you

 

For all my life

 

 

 

 

When you're with me baby the skies'll be blue

 

For all my life

 

Me and you and you and me

 

No matter how they toss the dice

 

It had to be

 

The only one for me is you

 

And you for me

 

So happy together

 

Me and you and you and me

 

No matter how they toss the dice

 

It had to be

 

The only one for me is you

 

And you for me

 

So happy together

 

So happy together

 

How is the weather

 

So happy together

 

We're happy together

 

So happy together

 

Happy together

 

So happy together

 

So happy together

They say there's a place

where dreams have all gone

They never said where

but I think I know

It's miles through the night

just over the dawn

on the road that will take me home

 

I know in my bones

I've been here before

The ground feels the same

though the land's been torn

I've a long way to go

The stars tell me so

on this road that will take me home

 

Love waits for me 'round the bend

Leads me endlessly on

Surely sorrows shall find their end

and all our troubles will be gone

And I'll know what I've lost

and all that I've won

when the road finally takes me home

 

And when I pass by

don't lead me astray

Don't try to stop me

Don't stand in my way

I'm bound for the hills

where cool waters flow

on this road that will take me home

 

Love waits for me 'round the bend

Leads me endlessly on

Surely sorrows shall find their end

and all our troubles will be gone

And we'll know what we've lost

and all that we've won

when the road finally takes me home

 

I'm going home

Summer has come and passed

The innocent can never last

Wake me up when September ends

 

Like my father's come to pass

Seven years has gone so fast

Wake me up when September ends

 

Here comes the rain again

Falling from the stars

 

Drenched in my pain again

Becoming who we are

 

As my memory rests

But never forgets what I lost

 

Wake me up when Septmber ends

 

Summer has come and passed

The innocent can never last

Wake me up when Septmber ends

 

Ring out the bells again

Like we did when spring began

 

Wake me up when septmber ends

 

Here comes the rain again

Falling from the stars

 

Drenched in my pain again

Becoming who we are

 

As my memory rests

But never forgets what I lost

 

Wake me up when septmber ends

 

Summer has come and passed

The innocent can never last

Wake me up when Septmber ends

 

Like my father's come to pass

Twenty years has gone so fast

Wake me up when September ends

 

Wake me up when September ends

Wake me up when September ends

You only see what your eyes want to see

How can life be what you want it to be

You’re frozen

When your heart’s not open

 

You’re so consumed with how much you get

You waste your time with hate and regret

You’re broken

When your heart’s not open

 

 

 

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart

Mmmmmm, we’d never be apart

Mmmmmm, give yourself to me

Mmmmmm, you hold the key

 

Now there’s no point in placing the blame

And you should know I suffer the same

If I lose you

My heart will be broken

 

Love is a bird, she needs to fly

Let all the hurt inside of you die

You’re frozen

When your heart’s not open

 

 

 

If I could melt your heart

Jars of Clay

"The Valley Song"

 

You have led me to sadness

I have carried this pain

On a back bruised, nearly broken

I'm crying out to You

 

I will sing of Your mercy

That leads me through valleys of sorrow

To rivers of joy

 

When death like a gypsy

Comes to steal what I love

I will still look to the heavens

I will still seek Your face

 

But I fear you aren’t listening

Because there are no words

Just the stillness and the hunger

For a faith that assures

 

Alleluia, alleluia

Alleluia, alleluia

 

While we wait for rescue

With our eyes tightly shut

Face to the ground using our hands

To cover the fatal cut

 

Though the pain is an ocean

Tossing us around, around, around

You have calmed greater waters

Higher mountains have come down

How many times do I have to try to tell you

That I'm sorry for the things I've done

But when I start to try to tell you

That's when you have to tell me

Hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun

I tell myself too many times

Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut

That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words

That keep on falling from your mouth

Falling from your mouth

Falling from your mouth

Tell me...

Why

Why

 

I may be mad

I may be blind

I may be viciously unkind

But I can still read what you're thinking

And I've heard is said too many times

That you'd be better off

Besides...

Why can't you see this boat is sinking

(this boat is sinking this boat is sinking)

Let's go down to the water's edge

And we can cast away those doubts

Some things are better left unsaid

But they still turn me inside out

Turning inside out turning inside out

Tell me...

Why

Tell me...

Why

 

This is the book I never read

These are the words I never said

This is the path I'll never tread

These are the dreams I'll dream instead

This is the joy that's seldom spread

These are the tears...

The tears we shed

This is the fear

This is the dread

These are the contents of my head

And these are the years that we have spent

And this is what they represent

And this is how I feel

Do you know how I feel ?

'cause i don't think you know how I feel

I don't think you know what I feel

I don't think you know what I feel

You don't know what I feel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I read them, not all but many. :tribble:

This is just a test to see if people are actually reading this topic or just posting lyrics at random.

 

I'm reading and posting whatever fits my mood the best. Anyone who reads what I post here can probably tell that I'm torn over a guy right now! :tribble:

 

Novatone - Midnight (I had to type these from memory since Novatone's not a mainstream band)

 

Midnight happens every day

And I blame it all on you

Tried so hard to walk away

Leaving you is hard to do

I can't count it on my hands

The reasons why I'm not your man

 

It could be something like the weight of the sun

It could be nothing more than you're not the one

I take my chances just like everyone

I take my chances

 

Almost nothing makes my day

When I lie around with you

You always seem to find the shade

With every light you walk into

 

It could be something like the weight of the sun

It could be nothing more than you're not the one

I take my chances just like everyone

I take my chances

 

Midnight

Midnight

Midnight

Midnight....

"I Smile"

 

Lost and all alone

Looking for a reason for being

In this crazy world

Trying to go on

Looking for the answers

To the questions

And there You were

 

From the moment You appeared

Everything became so clear

I'm so glad that You're here, Lord

 

I smile when I think about

The way You've turned my life around

I smile when I think about

The happiness in You I've found

I'm so amazed at what Your love has done

And when I think the best is yet to come

I smile!

I smile!

 

Wandering the dark

Lost in the confusion

I thought I was losing my mind for sure

I searched with all my heart

Looking for direction

Something to believe in

And there You were

And You were reachign down to me

You were everything I needed

I'm so glad You found me, Lord

 

'Cause You've turned all my gray skies

To the brightest blue, yes, You did

And my life feels like sunshine

And it's because of You

All because of You.. I smile

On The Tuning Away

 

Do you know what noise awakes you

Every morning from your bed

A-coming from the farthest hillside

A-coming from inside your head

You have heard

You have heard the loudest sound

In this and every world you can think of

Chorus: Louder than tanks on the highway

Louder than bombers in flight

Louder than noises of hatred

Dancing us from darkest night is the rhythm of love

Powered on the the beating of hearts

And did you know you had this power?

Drumming on it always stays

Never try to use it badly

Tunes of good are all it plays

You have heard

You have heard the loudest sound

In this and every world you can visit

Chorus

For a heart without love is a song with no words

And a tune to which no-one is listening

So your heart must give love and you'll find that

You shine like rain on the leaves you'll be glistening

You have heard

You have heard the loudest sound

In this and every world you can think of

Louder than thoughts of dictators

Louder than rattling swords

Louder than loading of rifles

Louder than screaming warlords

Chorus

"This Fragile Breath"

 

I searched the world for a song that I could sing

Praise to my King, A gift that I could bring

But no music I found could compare to You

Not one could do Justice to Your glory

What are my songs compared to Yours

 

Chorus:

You speak with thunder and lightening

Your voice shakes the mountains

The foundations of the earth

All I can offer is this fragile breath

With each one I'll praise You

With each one I'll praise You more

 

I searched the world for a poem I could read

A rhyme that would bring Glory to my King

But no writing I found was worthy of

This God high above all other gods

What are my words compared to Yours

 

Chorus

Alright, enough of this religious guff.

 

Time for something pure evil. :devil2:

 

Say your prayers little one

Don't forget my son

To include every one

 

I tucked you in

Warm within

Keep u free from sin

Until the sand man he comes

 

Sleep with one eye open

Grippin' your pillow tight

 

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

Off to never neverland

 

Something’s wrong

Shut the light

Heavy thoughts nights

And they aren't so white

 

dreams of war, dreams of lairs

dreams of dragon's fire

And of things that will bite

 

Sleep with one eye open

Grippin' your pillow tight

 

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

Off to never neverland

 

Now I lay me down to sleep

(Now I lay me down to sleep)

Pray the lord my soul to keep

(Pray the lord my soul to keep)

If I die before I wake

(If I die before I wake)

Pray the lord my soul to take

(Pray the lord my soul to take)

 

Hush little baby, don't say a word

And never mind that noise you heard

It's just the beasts under your bed,

In your closet, in your head

 

Exit light

Enter night

Grain of sand

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

Off to never neverland

Okay,

 

Chris Tomlin

"The Way I was Made"

Caught in the half-light, I’m caught alone

Waking up to the sunrise, and the radio

Feels like I’m tied up, what’s holding me?

Juts praying today will be the day I go Free.

 

Chorus:

I want to live like there’s no tomorrow

I want to dance like no one’s around.

I want to sing like no one’s listening.

Before I lay my body down

 

I want to give like I have plenty.

I want to love like I’m not afraid.

I want to be the man I was meant to be.

I want to be the way I was made.

 

Made in Your likeness, made in Your hands.

Made to discover who You are and who I am

All I’ve forgotten help me to find.

All that You’ve promised let it be in my life.

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man

you win some, lose some, it's all the same to me

The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say

I don't share your greed, the only card I need is

the Ace of Spades

the Ace of Spades

Playin' for the high one, dancin' with the devil

going with the flow, it's all a game to me

7 or 11, snake eyes watching you

Double up or quit, double stake or split

the Ace of Spades

the Ace of Spades

You know I'm born to lose

and gamblin's made for fools

But that's the way I like it baby

I don't want to live forever

and don't forget the joker

Pushing up the ante, I know you got to see me

read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again

I see it in your eyes, take one look and die

The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be

the Ace of Spades

the Ace of Spades

:dude: Some Heads Are Gonna Roll! :dude:

 

You can look to the left and look to the right

But you will live in danger tonite

When the enemy comes he will never be heard

He'll blow your mind and not say a word

Blinding lights-flashing colors

Sleepless nights

If the man with the power

Can't keep it under control

Some heads are gonna roll

Some heads are gonna roll

[Repeat]

The power-mad freaks who are

Ruling the earth

Will show little they think you're worth

With animal lust they'll devour your life

And slice your word to bits like a knife

One last day burning hell fire

You're blown away

If the man with the power

Can't keep it under control

Some heads are gonna roll

Some heads are gonna roll

[Repeat]

Know what it's like

When you're taken for granted

there goes your life

It's so underhanded

If the man with the power

Can't keep it under control

Some heads are gonna roll

Some heads are gonna roll

Linkin Park- In The End

 

(It starts with)

One thing / I don’t know why

It doesn’t even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme

To explain in due time

All I know

time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

It’s so unreal

Didn’t look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know

Wasted it all just to

Watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart

What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried

so hard

 

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

 

One thing / I don’t know why

It doesn’t even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme

To remind myself how

I tried so hard

In spite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I’m surprised it got so (far)

Things aren’t the way they were before

You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then

But it all comes back to me

In the end

You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart

What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I

I tried so hard

 

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

 

I’ve put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

And for all this

There’s only one thing you should know

I’ve put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

And for all this

There’s only one thing you should know

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

Antigone Rising - Longshot

 

(this song reminds me of someone very special to me)

 

You made the call

I watched the door to see you coming through

And every time it was a warm September wind that blew

then on the air that drifted in the faded smell of denial

See, I don't know so I won't ask I think it's best that way

can't be held responsible for what you didn't say

so let's pretend that I'm not me and it's not you for a while

 

This cigarette I'm pulling on

that second pint that's nearly gone

this hand that's sliding down my leg

 

(Chorus)

If there's one right thing you've got to do

don't do it tonight

and for once enjoy the view just out of the light

if there's one last kiss we've got to have

let's have it tomorrow

it's a longshot, but a chance I've got to take

 

It's fair to mention from the first that

when you touched me there

you're starting something that I'll finish

so just be aware

and if you mention one more time we could be soul mates I'll die

it's easy now when I look back

they call that "retrospect"

if I had known that night would have such a ripple effect

I might've been more likely just to let that sleeping dog lie

 

This T.V. set we're dualing on

my fighting words are nearly gone

there's something sliding down my leg

 

(repeat chorus)

 

I foresaw the day when you would come and make it clear

some things do better where you found them

so we'll leave it here

I'm only crying ‘cause this cloud of smoke is burning my eyes

and ever since the times when I am standing close to you

I see the person that you are, the one I never knew

Do you ever feel me anymore or are you too high?

 

Ready get set here we go

what's been going on? I don't know

I've been standing tall on my last leg

 

(repeat chorus)

 

It's a longshot, from a world away

in a time slot, on a passing day

"Spirit In The Sky"

 

When I die and they lay me to rest,

Gonna go to the place that's the best

When they lay me down to die,

Goin up to the spirit in the sky

 

Goin' up to the Spirit in the sky(Spirit in the sky)

That's where I'm gonna go when I die(When I die)

When I die and they lay me to rest,

I'm gonna go to the place that's the best

 

(Music Interment)

 

Prepare yourself, you know it's a must

Gotta have a friend in Jesus,

So you know that when you die,

He's gonna recommend you to the Spirit in the sky

(Spirit in the sky)

Whoa he'll recommend you to the Spirit in the sky

That's where you're gonna go when you die(When you die)

When you die, and they lay you to rest,

You're gonna go to the place that's the best

 

(Music Interment)

 

Never been a sinner, I've never sinned,

I've got a friend in Jesus

So you know that when I die,

He's gonna set me up with the Spirit in the sky

 

Whoa, set me up with the Spirit in the sky(Spirit in the sky)

That's where I'm gonna go when I die(When I die)

When I die and they lay me to rest,

I'm gonna go to the place that's the best

Go to the place that's the best

 

(Music Interment with hand claps and Electric Guitar)

Linkin Park- In The End

 

(It starts with)

One thing / I don’t know why

It doesn’t even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme

To explain in due time

All I know

time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

It’s so unreal

Didn’t look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know

Wasted it all just to

Watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart

What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried

so hard

 

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

 

One thing / I don’t know why

It doesn’t even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme

To remind myself how

I tried so hard

In spite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I’m surprised it got so (far)

Things aren’t the way they were before

You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then

But it all comes back to me

In the end

You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart

What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I

I tried so hard

 

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

 

I’ve put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

And for all this

There’s only one thing you should know

I’ve put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

And for all this

There’s only one thing you should know

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

My favorite song from my favorite group.

 

The Doobie Brothers

"Jesus is just all right"

 

Jesus is just alright with me, jesus is just alright, oh yeah

Jesus is just alright with me, jesus is just alright

 

I don't care what they may say

I don't care what they may do

I don't care what they may say

Jesus is just alright, oh yeah

Jesus is just alright

 

Jesus is just alright with me, jesus is just alright, oh yeah

Jesus is just alright with me, jesus is just alright

 

I don't care what they may know

I don't care where they may go

 

I don't care what they may know

Jesus is just alright, oh yeah

 

Jesus, he's my friend; jesus, he's my friend

He took me by the hand; led me far from this land

Jesus, he's my friend

 

Jesus is just alright with me, jesus is just alright, oh yeah

Jesus is just alright with me, jesus is just alright

 

I don't care what they may say, i don't care what they may do

I don't care what they may say, jesus is just alright, oh yeah

 

Cat Stevens/Yousef Islam (I love this guy's music,too)*

"Morning Has Broken"

 

Morning has broken, like the first morning

Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Praise for the springing fresh from the word

 

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven

Like the first dewfall, on the first grass

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden

Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

 

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

Born of the one light, Eden saw play

Praise with elation, praise every morning

God's recreation of the new day

Hank Williams Jr

"A Country Boy Can Survive"

 

(for all my southern brothers and sisters down in the Big Easy)

 

The preacher man says its the end of time

and the Mississippi River she's a going dry.

The interest is up and the stock markets down

and you only get mugged if you go downtown.

I live back in the woods you see,

my woman, and the kids and the dogs and me.

I got a shotgun and a rifle and a four wheel drive

and a country boy can survive. Country folks can survive.

 

I can plow a field all day long,

I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn.

Make our own whiskey and our own smoke too

ain't to many things these boys can't do.

We grow good old tomatoes and homemade wine

and country boy can survive, country folk can survive.

 

Because you can't stomp us out and you can't make us run,

cause we're them ole boys raised on shotguns.

We say grace and we say mam

and if you ain't into that we don't give a damn.

We came from the West Virginia coal mine's

and the Rocky Mountains and the Western skies

and we can skin a buck, we can run a trout line

and a country boy can survive, country folks can survive.

 

I had a good friend in New York City

he never called me by my name just hillbilly.

My Grandpa taught me how to live off the land

and his taught him to be a business man

He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Nights

and I would send him some homemade wine

but he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife,

for forty three dollars my friend lost his life.

I'd love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes

and shoot him with my ole forty-five

cause a country boy can survive, country folks can survive.

 

'Cause you can't stomp us out and you can't make us run,

and we're them ole boys raised on shotgun.

We say grace, we say mam,

if you ain't into that we don't give a damn.

We're from North California and South Alabam'

and little towns all around this land.

We can skin a buck, and run a trout line

and a country boy can survive,

country folks can survive,

country boy can survive,

country folks can survive.

Kenny Loggins - Nobody's Fool (theme from Caddyshack)

 

I know you think I’m no match for you baby

You like being rough on me don’t ya, my my my (ha ha)

Back to the shack oh yeah

Nothing suits me better than that

If time has taught me anything

Got to learn to be the ball

And I can’t keep from laughing at it all (whoa)

I’m goin laugh

 

I’m going all the way

Sooner or later gotta love somebody

Don’t care how long it takes

 

Like a shock to the heart

I’ve got news for you

I may not look so smart

But I’m nobody’s fool

 

Oh no, that’s enough for you baby

Taking it slow, it’s too much for me to analyze

Still all right, heading into the rhythm of a summer night

Winds of wild insanity, blow with me tonight

Saddle up all you cowboys, gonna ride

I’m gonna ride

 

I’m going all the way

Sooner or later gotta love somebody

Don’t care how long it takes

 

You can turn up the heat

But I’m playing it cool

I know it’s hard to believe

I ain’t nobody’s fool

 

I’m going all the way (all the way)

Sooner or later gotta love somebody (I don’t care)

Don’t care how long it takes

 

You might think that

I have not gone to school on you

Baby like it or not

I ain’t nobody’s fool

 

My hallucination may come as some surprise

You may try to deny it

You’re amazed when the clown slaps you in the face

Leaves you dumbfounded there in his way (yeah)

 

I’m going all the way (yeah)

Sooner or later gotta love somebody (gotta love somebody)

Don’t care how long it takes

 

Like a shock to the heart

I’ve got news for you

Maybe I’m not so smart

But I’m nobody’s fool

 

I’m going all the way (oh yeah)

I’m going all the way (I’m nobody’s fool, baby,…nobody’s fool)

Don’t care how long it takes (I don’t care)

I’m going all the way (who’s fooling who?)

The Beatles

"Maxwell's Silver Hammer"

 

(a funny song about a sociopath :lol: )

 

Joan was quizzical,

Studied pataphysical

Science in the home.

Late nights all alone with a test tube,

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Maxwell Edison,

Majoring in medicine,

Calls her on the phone.

"Can I take you out to the pictures,

Jo-o-o-oan?"

But, as she's getting ready to go,

A knock comes on the door.

 

Bang! Bang!

Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head.

Clang! Clang!

Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.

 

Back in school again,

Maxwell plays the fool again,

Teacher gets annoyed.

Wishing to avoid

An unpleasant sce-e-e-ene.

She tells Max to stay

When the class has gone away,

So, he waits behind.

Writing fifty times,

"I must not be so-o-o-o."

But, when she turns her back on the boy,

He creeps up from behind.

 

Bang! Bang!

Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head.

Clang! Clang!

Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead.

 

P.C. Thirty one

Said, "We've caught a dirty one."

Maxwell stands alone.

Painting testimonial pictures,

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Rose and Valerie,

Screaming from the gallery,

Say he must go free.

The judge does not agree

And he tells them so-o-o-o.

But, as the words are leaving his lips,

A noise come from behind.

 

Bang! Bang!

Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon his head.

Clang! Clang!

Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that he was dead.

 

..................................................................................................................

 

Not that psycho killers are humorous... :frusty: ...but there's a pretty funny animation at Jengajam.com called "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" set to this music.It's not for kids though.Its too gorey.
