USED TO BE MY GIRL


Good lovin, girls got plenty good lovin
Ask me how I know and I will tell you so
You used to be my girl I respect her
When she was mine, I used to neglect her
She wanted more than I could give
But as long as I live
She'll be my girl, she used to be my girl
She used to be my girl
She had a charming personality
The girl was so right for me
She's my girl
If I had the chance I know I would take her back
As a matter of fact, right away that day
My only compaint was ???????
The girl was so smart I couldn't keep her ????
Ask her how I know and I'll tell you so
She used to be my girl
And I still love her
I would place on one above her
She's warm and sensual
for as long as I live she will be my girl
If I had the chance I'd take her back
As a matter of fact right away
Good lovin, the girl's got plenty good lovin
Ask me how I know and I will tell you so
She used to be my girl, my girl
She used to be, used to be my girl
She used to be, used to be my girl
She used to be, used to be my girl...

I LOVE MUSIC


I love music, any kind of music
I love music, just as long as it's groovy

Makes me laugh, makes me smile
for the world when I'm with you boy
While we dance make romance
I'm enchanted by the things that you do

I love music, sweet sweet music
Long as it's swinging, all the joy that it's bringing

I'm so happy to be in complete harmony, I love you boy
And to hold you so close in my arms, I'm so glad you're mine
all mine mine

Nothing can be better than a sweet love song
So sweet so sweet so mellow
When you got the girl that you love in your arm
Oh honey I love you I love you yeah
Music is the healing force of the world
It's understood by every man woman boy and girl
And that's why that's why I say
I love music
Any kind of music
Long as it's swinging
All the joy that it's bringing

Music makes the atmosphere so fine
Lights down low just me and you baby you know
'Specially when you got a cold glass of wine
Mellow wine and song

I love music, sweet sweet music
I love music, just as long as it's groovy
I love I love I love I love I love I love music
I love I love I love I love I love I love music
I love music, any kind of music
I love music, just as long as it's groovy

for my Dad..... the best man I know


Drive
by Alan Jackson

It was painted red the stripe was white
It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light
Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
We put on a shine; put on a motor
Built out of love, made for the water
Ran her for years, 'til the transom got rotten
A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten

It was just on old plywood boat
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
A young boy two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And I would turn her sharp
And I would make her whine
He'd say, "you can't beat the way an old wood boat rides"
Just a little lake across the Alabama line
But I was king of the ocean
When daddy let me drive

Just an old half ton shortbed ford
My uncle bought new in '64
Daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
He let me drive her when we'd haul off a load
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal

It was just an old hand-me-down Ford
With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door
A young boy two honds on the wheel
I cain't replace the way it made me feel
And I would press that clutch
And I would keep it right
And he'd say, "a little slower son you're doing just fine"
Just a dirt rood with trash on each side
But I was Mario Andretti
When daddy let me drive

I'm grown up now three daughters of my own
I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
And pull out that old memory
And think of me and smile and say

It was just an old worn out Jeep
Rusty old floorboard, hot on my feet
A young girl two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And he'd say, "turn it left and steer it right,
Straighten up girl, you're doing just fine"
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
But I was high on a mountain
When daddy let me drive

When daddy let me drive

Oh he let me drive

Daddy let me drive

It's just an old plywood boat
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
It was just an old worn out Jeep

[Playa del Carmen]

If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me?
The Bellamy Brothers

If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?
If I swore you were an angel would you treat me like the devil tonight?
If I was dying of thirst would your flowing love come quench me?
if I said you had a beatiful body would you hold it against me?

Now we could talk all night about the weather
I could tell you about my friends out on the coast
I could ask a lot of crazy questions
Or ask you what I really want to know

If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?
If I swore you were an angel would you treat me like the devil tonight?
If I was dying of thirst would your flowing love come quench me?
if I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?

Rain can fall so soft against the window
The sun can shines so bright under the sky
But Daddy always told me, "Don't make small talk,"
He said, "Come on out and say what's on your mind."

If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?
If I swore you were an angel would you treat me like the devil tonight?
If I was dying of thirst would your flowing love come quench me?
if I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?

If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me?
If I swore you were an angel would you treat me like the devil tonight...?

Strawberry Wine
Deana Carter

He was working through college on my grandpa's farm
I was thirsting for knowledge, and he had a car
Yeah, I was caught somewhere between a woman and a child
One restless summer we found love growing wild

On the banks of the river on a well beaten path
It's funny how those memories they last

Like strawberry wine, seventeen
The hot July moon, saw everything
My first taste of love was bitter sweet
And green on the vine

Like strawberry wine

Well I still remember, when thirty was old
My biggest fear was September, when he had to go
A few cards and letters and one long distance call
We drifted away like the leaves in the fall

But year after year I come back to this place
Just to remember the taste

Of strawberry wine, seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love was bitter sweet
But green on the vine

Like strawberry wine

The fields have grown over now
Years since they've seen the plow
There's nothing time hasn't touched
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence
I've been missing so much?

Strawberry wine, seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love was bitter sweet
But green on the vine

Like strawberry wine

Seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love. Oh bitter sweet
But green on the vine

Like strawberry wine

Trip Like I do by Filter

I've got the understanding of a 4-year-old
I've got the piece of mind of a killer soul
I've got the rationale of a new york cop
I've got the patience of a chopping block yeah


trip like I do
trip like I do (oh my god this is the best)


I've got the acumen of a season broke
I've got the lack of say of a billion souls
I've got the world on my back but I don't seem to care
I've got the comprehension of a world unaware yeah


trip like i do
trip like I do (oh my god this is the best)
trip like i do (mm..i want you to trip like i do)


can't you, can't you trip like i do
can't you, can't you trip like I do


laid down my back i can't sleep cause I'm falling
eyes in my teeth i can't see cause i'm eating
head full of noise I can't think cause it's crushing
back on my feet like a freight train I'm coming


can everybody feel like I do
can everybody feel like I do (oh my god)


can't you can't you trip like I do
can't you can't you trip like I do (oh my god)
can't you trip can't you think can't you feel like I do
can't you walk can't you breathe can't you trip like I do...
like me...

Aerials by SYstem of a Down

Life is a waterfall
We're one in the river,
and one again after the fall
Swimming through the void
we hear the word
We lose ourselves but we find it all

Cuz we are the ones that wanna play
Always want to go but you never want to stay
And we are the ones that wanna choose
Always want to play but you never want to lose

Aerials In the sky
When you lose small mind you free your life

Life is a waterfall
We drink from the river
then we turn around and put up our walls
Swimming through the void we hear the word
We lose ourselves but we find it all

Cuz we are the ones that wanna play
Always want to go but you never want to stay
And we are the ones that wanna choose
Always want to play but you never want to lose
Oh!

Aerials
In the sky
When you lose small mind you free your life
Aerials
So up high
When you free your lives (the) eternal prize
Aerials
In the sky
When you lose small mind you free your life
Aerials
So up high
When you free your lives (the) eternal prize

Della And The Dealer
Hoyt Axton


It was Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo.
Left the city in a pick up truck,
Gonna make some dreams come true.

Yea,they rolled out west where the wild sun sets
And the coyote bays at the moon.
Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
and a cat named Kalamazoo

Chorus:
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the Dealer and the dog
as well
But the cat was cool, and he never said a mumblin word.

Down Tucson way there's a small cafe
Where they play a little cowboy tune.
And the guitar picker was a friend of mine
By the name of Randy Boone.

Yea, Randy played her a sweet love song
And Della got a fire in her eye
The Dealer had a knife and the dog had a gun
and the cat had a shot of Rye.

Repeat CHORUS

Yea , the dealer was a killer,
He was evil and mean
And he was jealous of the fire in her eyes.

He snorted his coke through a century note
And swore that Boone would die.

The stage was set when the lights went out.
There was death in Tucson town.
Two shadows ran for the bar back door
And one stayed on the ground

Repeat CHORUS

Two shadows ran from the bar that night
And dog and cat ran too.
And the tires got hot on the pick up truck
As down the road they flew.

It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo.
Left Tucson in a pick-up truck
Gonna make some dreams come true.

CHORUS

Ordinary World - Aurora feat Naimee Coleman

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you
What is happening to it all?
Crazy some say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

* But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to
the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
once prompted you to say
Pride will tear us both apart
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops, runaway
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy some say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

* repeat

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Feared today forgot tomorrow
Here beside the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk
Blown away

Just blowing away

And don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to
the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Every world is my world
Any world is my world


Mary Mary - Shackles (Praise You)

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you

In the corners of my mind
I just can't seem to find a reason to believe
That I can break free
Cause you see I have been down for so long
Feel like the hope is gone
But as I lift my hands, I understand
That I should praise you through my circumstance

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you

Everything that could go wrong
All went wrong at one time
So much pressure fell on me
I thought I was gonna lose my mind
But I know you wanna see
If I will hold on through these trials
But I need you to lift this load
Cause I can't take it anymore

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you

Been through the fire and the rain
Bound in every kind of way
But God has broken every chain
So let me go right now

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you

I Know How the River Feels
by Diamond Rio

They say for everyone, there's that certain one
Out there, somewhere
I'd been looking hard, searching every heart
Getting nowhere
Didn't know I was making my way to you

Now I know how the river feels
When it reaches the sea
And finally finds the place
It was always meant to be
Holding fast, home at last
Knowing the journey's through
Lying here with you
I know how the river feels

Miles of loneliness, now make perfect sense
Here beside you
Tears like water fall, it was worth it all
Just to find you
And yours are the last arms I'll run to

Now I know how the river feels
When it reaches the sea
And finally finds the place
It was always meant to be
Holding fast, home at last
Knowing the journey's through
Lying here with you
I know how the river feels

Holding fast, home at last
Knowing the journey's through
Lying here with you
I know how the river feels
Oh, I know how the river feels

[Clear Skies]

I know I've posted it before, but I'm listening to it right now and it's perfect Maybe this is the reason why my MSN screenname is Hopeless Romantic...

Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit out or dance

I hope you dance…I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit out or dance

I hope you dance…I hope you dance
I hope you dance…I hope you dance

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit out ot dance

I hope you dance

Leavin on a Jet PLane by John Denver

Leaving On A Jet Plane
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.
I'm standing here outside your door.
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn.
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn.
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.

CHORUS
So kiss me and smile for me.
Tell me that you'll wait for me.
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
I'm leavin' on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again,
Oh babe, I hate to go.

There's so many times I've let you down.
So many times I've played around
But now you know that they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go, I'll think of you,
Every song I sing, I sing for you.
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring.


Now the time has come to leave you.
One more time, let me kiss you.
Close your eyes and I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone,
About the times when I won't have to say...


I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I'm leavin' on a jet plan, I hate to go...

[Richelieu]

Neil Young Keep on Rockin' in the free world

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world

Back in the Saddle Again by Aerosmith

I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
ridin' into town alone by the light of the moon
I'm lookin' for old Sukie Jones, she crazy horse saloon
barkeep gimme a drink, that's when she caught my eye
she turned to give me a wink, that'd make a grown man cry
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
come easy, go easy, all right until the rising sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight, I'm like a loaded gun
peelin' off my boots and chaps, I'm saddle sore
four bits gets you time in the racks, I scream for more
fools' gold out of their mines, the girls are soaking wet
no tongue's drier than mine, I'll come when I get back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm ridin', I'm loadin' up my pistol
I'm ridin', I really got a fistful
I'm ridin', I'm shinin' up my saddle
I'm ridin', this snake is gonna rattle
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
ridin' high!
ridin' high!
ridin' high! already!

ok.now i'm off...my mid point is Las Vegas where i change planes. *sniff* hopefully the damn thing won't crash.

Leaving Las Vegas by SHeryl Crow

Life springs eternal
On a gaudy neon street
Not that I care at all
I spent the best part of my losing streak
In an Army Jeep
For what I can't recall
Oh I'm banging on my TV set
And I check the odds
And I place my bet
I pour a drink
And I pull the blinds
And I wonder what I'll find

I'm Leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat, blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good

Used to be I could drive up to
Barstow for the night
Find some crossroad trucker
To demonstrate his might
But these days it seems
Nowhere is far enough away
So I'm leaving Las Vegas today

I'm Leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat, blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good

I'm standing in the middle of the desert
Waiting for my ship to come in
But now no joker, no jack, no king
Can take this loser hand
And make it win

I'm Leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat, blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good

I quit my job as a dancer
At the Lido des Girls
Dealing blackjack until one or two
Such a muddly line between
The things you want
And the things you have to do

I'm Leaving Las Vegas
Lights so bright
Palm sweat, blackjack
On a Saturday night
Leaving Las Vegas
Leaving for good, for good
I'm leaving for good
I'm leaving for good

I'm leaving Las Vegas
And I won't be back
No I won't be back
Not this time

[Playa del Carmen]

Seminole Wind
John Anderson

Ever since the days of old
Men have searched for wealth untold
They'd dig for silver and for gold
And leave the empty holes

And way down south in the Everglades
Where the black water rolls and the sawgrass sways
The eagles fly and the otters play
In the land of the Seminoles

So, blow, blow, Seminole wind
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
I'm calling to you like a long lost friend
But I know who you are

And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminoles
The alligators and the gars

Progress came and took its toll
And in the name of flood control
They made their plans and they drained the land
Now the glades are going dry

And the last time I walked in the swamp
I sat upon a cyrpess stump
I listened close and I heard the ghost
Of Osceloa cry-

Blow, blow, Seminole wind
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
I'm calling to you like a long lost friend
But know who you are

And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminoles
The alligators and the gars
