Straight Tequila Night
John Anderson


if you really want to know
she comes here a lot
she just loves to hear the music and dance
K13 is her favorite song
if you play it you might have a chance
tonight she's only sippin' white wine
she's friendly, and fun- lovin'
most of the time

chorus
but don't ask her on a straight tequila night
she'll start thinkin' about him, and she's ready to fight
blames her broken heart on every man in sight
on a straight tequila night

here's a glass of champagne, some quarters and change
maybe you can turn her love life around
then she won't need the salt or the lime anymore
to shoot that old memory down
just remember her heart's on the mend
so if you ever come back to see her again

repeat chorus three times

[SlowwHand]

Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town
Kenny Rogers
Music & Lyrics : M. Tillis

You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair,
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadows on the wall tell me the sun is going down,
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war,
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore,
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be,
Oh Ruby, I still need some company.

It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed,
And the wants and needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize,
But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around,
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door,
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before,
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground,
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town.

Oh Ruby, for God's sake, turn around

All My Devotion
by Brady Seals

All it took was just one look in your eyes
I knew this love would never die
You reach every tender emotion
You have all my devotion

I long for the taste of your kiss
The touch of your soft fingertips
Let me hold you in my arms and you will know then
You have all my devotion

Whenever trouble seems to hard to bear
Turn to me and I will be there
My love for you is deeper than an ocean
You have all my devotion

Always and forever can't describe
How long I want to be here by your side
My love for you is deeper than an ocean
You have all my devotion
You have all my devotion

[boann]

for that boy with gold blonde hair and sky blue eyes
i passed all those notes to

Check Yes or No
by George Strait

It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow, and her pony tail
She kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell

Next day I chased her round the playground
Across the monkey bars, to the merry-go-round
And Emmylou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote

Chorus:
Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no

Now we're grown up and she's my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Ain't much changed, I still chase Emmylou
Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room

Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years later, she still gets to me
Can't believe it's been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no

IN THE STILL OF NIGHT (Five Satins)

In the still of the night
I held you ........Held you tight
'Cause I love .......Love you so
Promise i'll never...... Let you go
In the still of the night

I remember
That night in May
The stars were bright above
I'll hope and i'll pray
To keep
Your precious love

Well before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night


So before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night
In the still ..........of the night

I WANNA TAKE FOREVER TONIGHT
(Peter Cetera & Crystal Bernard)

Feel your breath on my shoulder
And I know we couldn't get any closer
I don't wanna act tough
I just wanna fall in love
As we move into the night
I get crazy
Thinking how it's gonna be with you, baby
I don't wanna play rough
I've been loving you enough, oh baby

Wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up with love
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
I wanna take forever tonight

Touch my lips, I'm on fire
You're the only one
I'll ever desire
Turn the lights down low
Make the world go slow
When I'm holding you tonight
It's so easy
Nothing moves me like you do
When you tease me
And to rush would be a crime
I just wanna spend some time with you, baby

Wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
I wanna take forever tonight
Fill you up, fill you up
Give you all my love tonight
When we close the door
All I need is in your eyes
I wanna take forever

And when I'm here beside you
I wanna see what drives you
Out of your mind
Oh baby
I never wanna leave
I only wanna be with you
'Cause I love how I feel
Your love is for real

I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got

I wanna take forever tonight
Wanna stay in this moment forever
I'm gonna give you
All the love that I've got
'Cause I can't live without you

[SlowwHand]

SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE
Cream
(Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Pete Brown)

It's getting near dawn,
When lights close their tired eyes.
I'll soon be with you my love,
To give you my dawn surprise.
I'll be with you darling soon,
I'll be with you when the stars start falling.

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.

I'm with you my love,
The light's shining through on you.
Yes, I'm with you my love,
It's the morning and just we two.
I'll stay with you darling now,
I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up.

Chorus

Second Verse

I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.

Diamond Rio - "One More Day"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you!

One more day, one more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more day...

First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl
I'd unplug the telephone and keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million "I Love You's"
That's what I'd do with one more day with you

One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you

One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you.

Blondie - Rapture

Toe to toe dancing very close
Body breathing almost comatose
Wall to wall people hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in rapture
Back to back sacroiliac
Spineless movement and a wild attack
Face to face sightless solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly
DJ spinning I said "My My"
Flash is fast Flash is cool
Francois c'est pas flashe non due
And you don't stop sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground
And out comes the man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night eating cars
You eat Cadillacs Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subaru
And you don't stop
You keep on eating cars
Then when there's no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face
Dance cheek to cheek
One to one
Man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow 'cause the man from Mars is through with cars
He's eating bars
Yeah wall to wall
Door to door
Hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture
Be pure
Take a tour through the sewer
Don't strain your brain
Paint a train
You'll be singing in the rain
Said don't stop to the punk rock
Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars where the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space where he won't have a hassle with
the human race
And you hip hop
And you don't stop
Just blast off sure shot
Because the man from Mars stopped eating cars
And eating bars
And now he only eats guitars
Get up!

[Playa del Carmen]

Against the Wind
Bob Seger

It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low

And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
'Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin'
Against the wind

The years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home

And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worryied about paying or even how much I owed

Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searching
Searching for shelter again and again

Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter
Against the wind

Well those drifter's days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind
Well I'm older now and still runnin'

Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind

Still runnin'
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm still runnin'
I'm still runnin' against the wind
Still runnin'
Runnin' against the wind
Runnin' against the wind
See the young man run
Watch the young man run
Watch the young man runnin'
He'll be runnin' against the wind
Let the cowboys ride
Let the cowboys ride
They'll be ridin' against the wind
Against the wind ...






Night Moves
Bob Seger

I was a little too tall
Could've used a few pounds
Tight pants points hardly reknown
She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sitting way up high
Way up firm and high

Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy
Workin' on mysteries without any clues
Workin' on our night moves
Trying' to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves in the summertime
In the sweet summertime

We weren't in love oh no far from it
We weren't searching for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Living by the sword
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, the alley, the trusty woods
I used her she used me
But neither one cared
We were getting our share

Workin' on our night moves
Trying to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin' on out night moves
In the summertime
And oh the wonder
Felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder

I woke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in

[SlowwHand]

A 1 Hit Wonder


TAKE A LETTER MARIA
R. B. Greaves


Last night as I got home about a half past ten
There was the woman I thought I knew
In the arms of another man
I kept my cool, I ain't no fool
Let me tell you what happened then
I packed some clothes and I walked out
And I ain't going back again

CHORUS:

So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me
And it's times like this I feel you've always been close to me
Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good life
All work and no play has just cost me a wife

CHORUS

When a man loves a woman it's hard to understand
That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man
I never really noticed how sweet you are to me
It just so happens I'm free tonight
Would you like to have dinner with me

CHORUS

So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

Strnge attraction by the cure

it started with a dedication
"lost in admiration - happy birthday - I?m forever yours - blossom"
faded red inside a tiny book of butterflies
I smiled surprised at how when flickered through
the wings flew by spelled out my name...

Six months went by the summer lost
obsessively the letters dropped into my life
the same soft blood smooth flowing hand
"please try to understand - I have to see you - have to feel you -
tell you all the ways I need you - yours forever in love... "

strange attraction spreads it's wings
it varies but the smallest things
you never know how anything will change
strange attraction spreads it's wings
and alters but the smallest things
you never know how anything will fade

the year grew old incessantly she wrote to me
she'd started smoking poetry!
I laughed in recognition of a favourite phrase
she'd pulled me in...
I answered her
a christmas card in sepia
arranging when and where
and how the two of us should meet...

Her opening so well prepared
a nervous smile
I couldn't take my eyes from her
she whispered
"can I use some of your lipstick?"
it was perfect so believable
I couldn't help but feel that it was real
and kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms...

Strange attraction spreads it's wings
it varies but the smallest things
you never know how anything will change
strange attraction spreads it's wings
and alters but the smallest things
you never know how anything will fade

so alone into the cold new year without another word from her
I wrote to ask if we could maybe meet again before the spring
but weeks went by with no reply until once more my birthday came
and with it my surprise but this time nothing was the same...

"I?m sorry - blame infatuation - blame imagination -
I was sure you'd be the one but I was wrong -
it seems reality destroys our dreams - I won't forget you - blossom"
faded red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes...

Strange attraction spreads it's wings
it varies but the smallest things
you never know how anything will change
strange attraction spreads it's wings
and alters but the smallest things
and you never know...

You Had Me From Hello
by Kenny Chesney

One word, that's all was said
Something in your voice called, turned my head
Your smile captured me, you were in my future as far as I could see
And I don't know how it happened, but it happens still
You ask me if I love you, if I always will...

Well, you had me from "Hello"
I felt love start to grow the moment that I looked into your eyes
You won me, it was over from the start
You completely stole my heart and now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know?
You had me from "Hello"

Inside I built a wall so high around my heart, I thought I'd never fall
One touch, you brought it down
The bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground
And I swore to me I wasn't gonna love again
The last time was the last time I'd let someone in

But, you had me from "Hello"
I felt love start to grow the moment that I looked into your eyes
You won me, it was over from the start
You completely stole my heart and now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know?
You had me from "Hello"

That's all you said
Something in your voice calls me, turns my head
You had me from "Hello"
You had me from "Hello"
Girl, I've loved you from "Hello"

What If She's An Angel
by Tommy Shane Steiner

There's a man standing on the corner
With a sign sayin "will work for food"
You know the man
You see him every morning
The one you never give your money to
You can sit there with your window rolled up
Wondering when the lights going to turn green
Never knowing what a couple more bucks
In his pocket might mean

What if he's an angel sent here from Heaven
And he's making certain that you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother are you going to pass that test
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in his face
Knowing deep down it could have been his saving grace
What if he's an angel

There's a man
There's a woman
Living right above you in apartment G
There's alot of noise coming from the ceiling
And it don't sound like harmony
You can sit there with your TV turned up
While the words and his anger fly
Come tomorrow when you see her with her shades on
Can you look her in the eye

What if she's sent here from heaven
And she's making certain that you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother are you going to pass that test
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in her face
Knowing deep down it could have been her saving grace
What if she's an angel

A little girl on daddy's lap
Hiding her disease with a baseball cap
You can turn the channel
Most people do
But what if you were sitting in her daddy's shoes

Maybe she's an angel
Sent here from Heaven
And she's making certain you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother are you going to pass that test
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in her face
Knowing deep down it could have been her saving grace
What if she's an angel

It Ain't Over 'til It's Over


here we are still together
we are one
so much time wasted
playing games with love

so many tears i've cried
so much pain iside
but baby it ain't over 'til it's over
so many years we've tried
to keep our love alive
but baby it ain't over 'till it's over

how many times
did we give up
but we always worked things out
and all my doubts and fear
kept me wondering
if i'd always be in love

so many tears i've cried
so much pain iside
but baby it ain't over 'til it's over

so many years we've tried
and kept our love alive
but baby it ain't over 'till it's over

so many tears i've cried
so much pain iside
but baby it ain't over 'til it's over

so many years we've tried
and kept our love alive
but baby it ain't over 'till it's over
