Once In A Lifetime - Eda-Ines Etti

I don't wish to go and turn back time
I can move the mountains higher than high
Don't look back hold on to your spirit
Keep moving every minute
I know it seems a little premature
To live for the moment I'm just a girl
Don't look back hold on to your spirit
Keep moving every minute
What you give is what you get
There ain't no regrets

If you give me wings and a reason why
Then I'll be an angel in your sky
Because I'm seventeen only once in a lifetime
Read my mind

I'm ready why are you standing still
Are you coming with me I know you will
We can search the world together
Come on baby now or never
What you give is what you get
There ain't no regrets

If you give me wings and a reason why
Then I'll be an angel in your sky
Because I'm seventeen only once in a lifetime
Read my mind

I believe there's a better place always somewhere else instead
I believe the grass is greener if
I chase the magic no one else can find

If you give me wings and a reason why
Then I'll be an angel in your sky
Because I'm seventeen only once in a lifetime
Read my mind

St. Elmo's Fire
Joh Parr

Growin' up, you don't see the writing on the wall
Passin' by, movin' straight ahead, you knew it all
But maybe sometime if you feel the pain
You'll find you're all alone, everything has changed

Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won
Soldier on, only you can do what must be done
You know in some way you're a lot like me
You're just a prisoner and you're tryin' to break free

Chorus:
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire

Burning up, don't know just how far that I can go (just how far I go)
Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road
I can make it, I know I can
You broke the boy in me, but you won't break the man

(chorus)

I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me, burnin' in me
Just once in his life a man has his time, and my time is now, I'm coming alive

I can hear the music playin', I can see the banners fly
Feel like you're back again, and hope ridin' high
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire

(chorus)

I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me
Burnin', burnin' in me, I can feel it burnin'
Oooh, burnin' inside of me... (to fade)

This One Is For My Grandfather, Who Sang It To Me

WHEN THE WORK'S ALL DONE THIS FALL
(D.J. O'Malley)

A group of jolly cowboys, discussing plans at ease.
Says one, "I'll tell you something, boys, if you will listen, please
I am an old cow-puncher and here I'm dressed in rags,
I used to be a tough one and go on great big jags.


"After the round-ups are over and after the shipping is done
I am going right straight home, boys, ere all my money is gone
I have changed my ways, boys, no more will I fall;
And I am going home, boys, when the work is done this fall.


"But I've got a home, boys, a good one, you all know,
Although I have not seen it since long, long ago.
I'm going back to Dixie once more to see them all;
I'm going back to see my mother when the work's all done this fall.

"When I left home, boys, my mother for me cried,
Begged me not to go, boys, for me she would have died;
My mother's heart is breaking, breaking for me, that's all,
And with God's help I'll see her when the work's all done this fall."

This very night this cowboy went out to stand his guard;
The night was dark and cloudy and storming very hard;
The cattle they got frightened and rushed in wild stampede,
The cowboy tried to head them, riding at full speed.

While riding in the darkness so loudly did he shout,
Trying his best to head them and turn the herd about
His saddle horse did stumble and on him did fall
The poor boy won't see his mother when the work's all done this fall.

His body was so mangled the boys all thought him dead,
They picked him up so gently and laid him on a bed;
He opened wide his blue eyes and looking all around
He motioned to his comrades to sit near him on the ground.

"Boys, send Mother my wages, the wages I have earned,
For I'm afraid, boys, my last steer I have turned.
I'm going to a new range, I hear my Master's call,
And I'll not see my mother when the work's all done this fall

"Fred, you take my saddle; George, you take my bed;
Bill, you take my pistol after I am dead;
And think of me kindly when you look upon them all,
For I'll not see my mother when work is done this fall."

Poor Charlie was buried at sunrise, no tombstone at his head,
Nothing but a little board; and this is what it said:
Charlie died at daybreak, he died from a fall,
And he'll not see his mother when the work's all done this fall.

This Is For The Working Class Hero, Trying To Make The Dream Come True

40 Hour Week
Alabama

There are people in this country who work hard every day.
Not for fame or fortune do they strive.
But the fruits of their labor are worth more than their pay.
And it's time a few of them were recognized.

Hello Detroit auto workers,
let me thank you for your time.
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
just to send it on down the line.
Hello Pittsburgh steel mill workers,
let me thank you for your time.
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
just to send it on down the line.

This is for the one who swings the hammer,
driving home the nail.
Or the one behind the counter,
ringing up the sale.
Or the one who fights the fires,
the one who brings the mail.
For everyone who works behind the scenes.

You can see them every morning in the factories and the fields.
In the city streets and the quiet country towns.
Working together like spokes inside a wheel.
They keep this country turning around.

Hello Kansas wheat field farmer,
let me thank you for your time.
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
just to send it on down the line.
Hello West Virginia coal miner,
let me thank you for your time.
You work a forty hour week for a livin',
just to send it on down the line.

This one is for the one who drives the big rig,
up and down the road.
Or the one out in the warehouse,
bringing in the load.
Or the waitress, the mechanic,
the policeman on patrol.
For everyone who works behind the scenes.
With a spirit you can't replace with no machine.

Hello America - let me thank you for your time!

DEEP INSIDE OF YOU
Words and Music by Neil Diamond and Beth Nielsen Chapman

Good morning. I love you.
Now that you're here where you belong,
I want to be the man you need.
Just tell me you love me,
Because I need to hear it, too.
Just let me be the one you carry deep inside of you.

I need you beside me; the road is so long.
You run through my heart like the words of a bitter-sweet song.
I'd travel the whole world, across the earth, around the sun
if I could be the one you carry deep inside of you.

Without you beside me, the road is so long.
You live in my heart, and it hurts when I think of you gone.
I need you in my way.
I have no right to love so true.
But let me be the one, the one who lives inside of you.
Just let me be the one you carry deep inside of you.

[Asher]

DEEP INSIDE OF YOU
Third Eye Blind

When we met, light was shed
Thoughts free flow
You said you've got something
Deep inside of you

A wind chime voice sound
Sway of your hips round rings true
It goes deep inside of you

These secret garden beams
Changed my life, so it seems
A fall breeze blows outside
I don't break stride, my thoughts are warm
And they go deep inside of you
Oh yeah

And I never felt alone, alright
Oh oh, till I met you

Friends say I've changed
I don't listen 'cuz I live to be
Deep inside of you

Slide of her dress
Shouts in darkness, I'm so alive
I'm deep inside of you

You said, "boy make girl feel good"
But still, deep inside
Still

I've never felt alone
Till I met you
I'm alright on my own
And then I met you
And I'd know what to do
If I just knew what's coming

I would change myself if I could
I'd walk with my people if I could find them
And I'd say that I'm sorry to you
I'm sorry to you

And I don't want to call you
But then I want to call you
'Cuz I don't want to crush you
But I feel like crushing you, and it's true
I took for granted you were with me
I breathe by your looks and you look right through me

But we were broke and didn't know
We were broke and didn't know
We were broke and didn't know
We were broke and didn't know

Something's gone, you withdraw
And I'm not strong like before
I was deep inside of you

I can go nowhere
I burn candles and stare
At a ghost deep inside of you

And some great need in me
Starts to bleed
I've lost myself, there's nothing left
It's all gone
Deep inside of you
Deep inside of you
Deep inside of you

[Asher]

LAST KISS
Pearl Jam (I like this version best)

[Chorus]
Oh where oh where can my baby be
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven soI got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world

We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road straight up ahead
A car was stalled the engine was dead
I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screaming tires the busting glass
The painful scream that I heard last

[Chorus]

WHen I woke up the rain was pouring down
There were people standing all around
Somethign warm flowing through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head she looked at me and said
Hold me darling just a little while
I held her close I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew i have missed
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love my life that night

[Chorus]

[boann]

You Are Everything
"The Stylistics"

Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
She walked like you do
I thought it was you

As she turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed
When it wasn’t you, wasn’t you

You are everything
And everything is you, whoa
You are everything
And everything is you, whoa
You are everything
And everything is you

How can I forget
When each face that I see
Brings back memories
Of being with you

I just can’t go on
Living life as I do
Comparing each girl with you
Knowing they just won’t do, they’re not you

You are everything
And everything is you, whoa
You are everything
And everything is you, whoa
You are everything
And everything is you

You are everything (You are everything to me)
And everything is you, whoa
You are everything (Everything you are, everything to me, yeah)
And everything is you, whoa

You are everything (You are everything to me)
And everything is you, whoa
You are everything (Yeah, yeah, everything to me)
And everything is you, whoa

You are everything

Wheel
Jerry Jeff Walker


(spoken)
If I took a rollin' wheel
And rolled it ten times round
Would it travel far from here
Or would it just go round
Round and Round


As a young boy I helped the old man
Workin' in the fields
And everyday, we hauled the hay
To the rollin' of the wheels
'Til one day the tractor laid
The old man down to the ground
The tractor pitched him into a ditch and
Left a dusty sound
Of the wheel that kept spinnin' round
The wheel that kept spinnin' round


CHORUS:
Rollin' wheel, rollin' on
Takin' us all on our way
Rollin' wheel, rollin' on
Takin back all that they gave
Takin' us all on our way
Takin' back all that they save

I've never knew my father well
The war called him too soon
Said he was an officer
Saw some pictures in my room
The letter said he was reported dead
Near the front lines he'd been found
A mine blew his jeep into a twisted heep
And I still hear the sound
Of the wheel that kept spinnin' round.

Rollin' wheel, rollin' on
Takin' us all on our way
Rollin' wheels, rollin' on
Takin' us all to the grave
Takin' back all that they save
Takin' us all on our way

My brother chased a dream of wheels
His whole life geared for the race
As soon as he could, he drove off for good
His whole life was short, quick, and straight
He only lived to spin those wheels
And make that move over ground
'Til the steering failed and he crashed the rail
And he laid there still for the sounds
Of the wheel that kept spinning round.

Rollin' wheel, they're rollin' on
Takin' us all on our way
The rollin' wheels, rollin' on
Takin' back all that they gave
Takin' us all on our way
Takin' back all that they say

As for me, my life's too short
The wheel has carried my far
Around this world 100 times
By bus, truck, train, bike , or car
And just like the rest I roll on to my death
On a country road far from town
I stare by the wheel just as sure as I feel
That there won't be but one sound
That's the wheel that keeps spinning round

Yeah the wheel that keeps spinning round

Rollin wheels, rollin' on
Takin us all on our way
The rollin' wheels, rollin' on
Takin' back all that they say
Takin us all on our way
Takin' us all on our way

The rollin' wheels, yeah rollin' on
Takin' back all that they gave
Takin' us all on our way

[SlowwHand]

Pretty Funny Song

I Wanna Talk About Me
Toby Keith
(Bobby Braddock)

We talk about your work how your boss is a jerk
We talk about your church and your head when it hurts
We talk about the troubles you've been having with your brother
About your daddy and your mother and your crazy ex-lover
We talk about your friends and the places that you've been
We talk about your skin and the dimples on your chin
The polish on your toes and the run in your hose
And God knows we're gonna talk about your clothes
You know talking about you makes me smile
But every once in awhile

I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, usually, but occassionally
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me

We talk about your dreams and we talk about your schemes
your high school team and your moisturizer creme
We talk about your nanna up in Muncie, Indiana
We talk about your grandma down in Alabama
We talk about your guys of every shape and size
The ones that you despise and the ones you idolize
We talk about your heart, about your brains and your smarts
And your medical charts and when you start
You know talking about you makes me grin
But every now and then

I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, usually, but occassionally
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me

You you you you you you you you youyouyouyouyou
I wanna talk about me

I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you, usually, but occassionally
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me

Your Life Is Now
"John Mellencamp"


See the moon roll across the stars
See the seasons turn like a heart
Your father’s days are lost to you
This is your time here to do what you will do

Your life is now your life is now your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now

Would you teach your children to tell the truth
Would you take the high road if you could choose
Do you believe you’re a victim of a great compromise
‘Cause I believe you could change your mind and change our lives

Your life is now your life is now your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now

Would you teach your children to tell the truth
This is your time here to do what you will do

Your life is now your life is now your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how

Your life is now your life is now your life is now
In this undiscovered moment
Lift your head up above the crowd
We could shake this world
If you would only show us how
Your life is now

That’s When I’ll Stop Loving You


When winter comes in summer
When there’s no more forever, yeah, yeah
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’ you
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’ you

I’m sure you’ve heard these words before
And I know it’s hard for you to trust them once more
You’re afraid it all might end
And a broken heart is scared of breakin’ again

But you got to believe me, I’ll never leave you
You won’t ever cry unless I am there
And I will always be there
You will never be without love

When winter comes in summer
When there’s no more forever
When lies become the truth
Oh, you’ll know then, baby
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’ you
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’ you, yeah

The longest sunlight lights the sky
The light of love will be felt in these eyes of mine (These eyes of mine)
And I will shine that light for you
You’re the only one I’ll ever give this heart to

What I’m trying to say (What I’m trying to say ) nothing will change this
There’ll be no time you won’t find me there
‘Cause I will always be there
You will always have all my love

When winter comes in summer
When there’s no more forever
When lies become the truth
Well, you’ll know then, baby
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’ you
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’ you

And when this world doesn’t turn anymore
When the stars all decide to stop shining
Till then I’m gonna be by your side
I’m gonna be lovin’ you forever
And every day of my life

Well, then you’ll know then, baby
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’ you

When winter comes in summer
When there’s no more forever
When lies become the truth
Well, you’ll know then, baby
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’ you

When winter comes in summer
When there’s no more forever
When lies become the truth
Well, you’ll know then, baby
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’
That’s when I’ll stop lovin’ you
That’s when I’ll stop, babe, I’ll stop, babe, lovin’ you

RUNNING ON EMPTY
Jackson Browne

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I don't know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
Running into the sun but I'm running behind

[boann]

three from Tracy



For You
by Tracy Chapman

There's no words to say
No words to convey
This feeling inside I have for you
Deep in my heart
Safe from the guards
Of intellect and reason
Leaving me at a loss
For words to express my feelings
Deep in my heart

Look at me losing control
Thinking I have a hold
But with feelings this strong
I'm no longer the master
Of my emotions

------------------------------------------------

The Promise
by Tracy Chapman

If you wait for me
Then I'll come for you
Although I've travelled far
I always hold a place for you
In my heart
If you think of me
If you miss me once in a while
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart

Chorus-

Remembering your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way
Back to you
If you'll be waiting

2nd verse-

If you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel
The beating of your heart

(chorus)

I've longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

(chorus)

3rd verse-

Please say you'll be waiting
Together again
It would feel so good to be in your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you make a promise
If it's one that you can keep
I vow to come to you
If you wait for me
And say you'll hold
A place for me
In your heart

-------------------------------------

Matters of the Heart
by Tracy Chapman


I lose my head
From time to time
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart

We should have been holding each other
Instead we talked
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart

But I asked before
Your reply was kind and polite
One wants more
When one's denied
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart

I won't call it love
But it feels good to have passion in my life
If there's a battle
I hope my head always defers to my heart
In matters of the heart

I guess I'm crazy to think
I can give you what you don't want
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart

I've made myself sick
I can't think of anything else
I can't sleep at night
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart

I wish that I had the power
To make these feelings stop
I lose all self control
In matters of the heart

I can't believe
It's so hard to find someone
To give affection to
And from whom you can receive
I guess it's just the draw of the cards
In matters of the heart

You caught me off guard
Somehow you reached me
Where I thought I had nothing left inside
I've learned a lesson I've been edified
In matters of the heart

I've spent my nights
Where the sleeping dogs lie
Not by your side
It feels so lonely
Once again I've left too much to chance
In matters of the heart

Here I sit
I'm feeling sorry for myself
It's quite a sight
But I have you to thank
For reminding me
We're all alone in this world
And in matters of the heart

I'm already missing you
Although we won't say good-byes
Until tomorrow afternoon
Maybe when and if I see you again
We'll see eye to eye
In matters of the heart

I have no harsh words for you
I have no tears to cry
If the moon were full
I'd be howling inside
It only hurts
In matters of the heart

If today were my birthday
I'd be reborn
As Bronte's bird a bird that could fly
And all accounts would be settled
In matters of the heart
