Almost Home
John Croslin
Walking on the water in a van
Trying to think of everything I can
Well its getting very late
and these tapes don't sound no good
And my body just don't feel the way I wish it would
I was driving when I heard you call my name
It was not like before, not quite the same
Its too late to do much good
And I might as well confess
That I have not got the nerve to borrow cigarettes
These silent things are all my life
No one ever tells me when or why
But my heart can't seem to tell me
Would satisfy my mind
So I jump into that van just one more time
When I'm almost with you music tries to play
When I'm almost home I almost hear you say
It'll be alright if we can run away
I was driving when I heard you call my name
It was not like before, not quite the same
Oh, but my heart can't seem to tell me
Would satisfy my mind
So I jump into that van just one more time
When I'm almost with you music tries to play
When I'm almost home I almost hear you say
It'll be alright if we can run away
Araby
John Croslin
It's worth to the admission
When my love falls up to the glass
And it's gone through the window
And my love falls up to the glass
Oh, many days I wonder what's behind the veil
And I feel my breath upon your mouth
And I press my heart into your hand
As my gift from Araby
And I press my heart into your hand
As my gift from Araby
Is it true what they're saying
And there's nothing that you want
And it's gone through the window
Is there nothing that you want
Oh Many days I wonder what's behind the veil
And I feel my breath upon your mouth
And I press my heart into your hand
As my gift from Araby
And I press my heart into your hand
As my gift from Araby
Is it gone through the window
Is there nothing that you want
Well it all comes down to what you say
And then nothing that you want
Oh, many days I wonder what's behind the veil
And I know that love will kill my pride
And I press my heart into your hand
As my gift from Araby
And I press my heart into your hand
As my gift from Araby
And I press my heart into your hand
As my gift from Araby
And I press my heart into your hand now
Before The Heartache Rolls In
Radney Foster
There's a chill in your kiss
That I feel I've been missin' too long
This love is deceavin'
Babe, I believe there's things going wrong
Cause your eyes reveal your heart and soul
And your love for me is growing old
And I think maybe I better head out of here
Roll like the wind
I'm gonna roll 'till the highway ends
I'm gonna roll on out of here
Before the heartache rolls in
There's a lonesome sound keeps rolling around inside me
Those wheels on the highway winding on by baby
I gotta leave
Cause if I don't get out while my mind's in control
I may never be able to ever let go
And I think maybe I better get out of here
Roll like the wind
I'm gonna roll 'till the highway ends
I'm gonna roll on out of here
If I don't get out while my mind's in control
I may never be able to ever let go
And I know that I've got to head out of here
Roll like the wind
I'm gonna roll 'till the highway ends
I'm gonna roll on out of here
Before the heartache rolls in
Dream Baby
Roy Orbison
Sweet dreams, baby
How long must I dream?
Sweet dreams, baby
How long must I dream?
Sweet dreams, baby
How long must I dream?
Dream baby got me dreaming sweet dreams
The whole day through
Dream baby got me dreaming sweet dreams
Night time too
I love you and I'm thinking of you
But that won't do
Dream baby won't you stop my dreaming
You can make my dreams come true
Driver 8
R.E.M.
The walls are built up, stone by stone
the fields divided one by one
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We've been on this shift too long"
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"
I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged
Bells are ringing through the town again
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"
Way to shield the hated heat
Way to put myself to sleep
Way to shield the hated heat
Way to put myself, my children to sleep
He piloted this song in a plane like that one
She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again
Field to weed is stricken thin
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We've been on this shift too long."
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"
Fine Line
Radney Foster
There's a curve in the highway
Just south of town
Where a man has pulled over
To figure life out
With only his conscience
And the lonesome sound
Of diesels whinin upgrade
He's got a wife and two kids
And they love him so
And a woman down in Charleston
She's startin to show
He's damned if he leaves
And he's sure damned if he don't
And he wonders how life got this way
Cause it's a fine line in between right and wrong
He's been crossin over that border way too long
He shoulda seen it comin at him right from the start
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart
Now the call of the highway is a powerful thing
Like the pull of a lover
Or a child in a swing
Gave his heart to two women
Only one wears his ring
They're both gonna have his babies now
So how do you confess
What words won't explain
He never intended to cause this much pain
Now he feels like a farmer
Who went prayin for rain
And got more than he bargained from the clouds
Cause it's a fine line in between right and wrong
Yeah, he's been passin over that border way too long
He shoulda seen it comin at him
Right from the start
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart
He'll turn his car around tonight
Go home and try to face the truth
Everyone involved's gettin hurt
And there ain't nothin he can do
He shoulda seen it coming at him right from the start
Now there ain't no escape from a broken heart
Now they're all gonna wind up with a broken heart
Nobody's getting out without a broken heart
Gravity of the Situation
Vic Chessnut
We blew past the army motorcade
And it's abnormal load haulage
The gravity of the situation
Came on us like a bit of new knowledge
The bubbliest bubble bath
Broke down on the bank
The gravity of the situation
Is why our old thought bubbles sank
Humble and gracious
The gravity of the situation
A fat hungry english crow
Picking at a badger carcass
The gravity of the situation
Is hard to focus and harness
We met Bill Lowery
At the Queen's Hall
The gravity of the situation
Became apparent to us all
Hey Hey What Can I Do?
Led Zeppelin
Wanna tell you about the girl I love
My she looks so fine
She's the only one that I been dreaming of
Maybe someday she will be all mine
I wanna tell her that I love her so
I thrill with her every touch
I need to tell her she's the only one I really love
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be true, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true
Sunday morning when we go down to church
See the menfolk standing in line
I said they come to pray to the Lord
With my little girl, looks so fine
In the evening when the sun is sinking low
Everybody's with the one they love
I walk the town
Keep a-searching all around...
Looking for my street corner girl
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be true, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true
In the bars, with the men who play guitars
Singing, drinking and remembering the times
My little lover does a midnight shift
She followed around all the time
I guess there's just one thing a-left for me to do
Gonna pack my bags and move on my way
Cause I got a worried mind
Sharing what I thought was mine
Gonna leave her where the guitars play
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be true, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true
Hey, hey what can I do?
I said she won't be true
Hey, hey what can I say?
Hey hey, what can I do
I got a woman, she won't be true
Lord, hear what I say
I got a woman, wanna ball all day
I Go Blind
54-40
Every time I look at you I go blind
Every time I look at you I go blind
Every time I look at you I go blind
Every time I look at you I go blind
In the morning I get up
And I try to feel alive but I can't
Every time I look at you I go blind
I don't know what it is
Something in me just won't give me a chance
I think it's that I feel
More confused by the deal
Love has shown me?
Little child did you know that there's a light
And it's gonna shine right through your eyes
What did you think that light was like
Every time I look at you I go blind
I go blind
Well, somewhere over there
There's a purpose, there's a care for free
In me there's nobody else
No one plan, no one stand to be free
I think it's that because
I have seen all the fuss
And it's no big deal
No big deal
Hold me hold me cause I wanna get higher and higher
Every time I look at you I go blind
Hold me hold me cause I wanna get higher and higher
Every time I look at you I go blind
Hold me hold me cause I wanna get higher and higher
Every time I look at you I go blind
Hold me hold me cause I wanna get higher and higher
Every time I look at you I go blind
I'm Over You
The Silos
The stars are shining brighter than the night that I remember
My thoughts are like a river
Reflecting in all directions
I'm gonna phone her, but not today
I'm gonna write her, but not today
Today I'm gonna be
Driving down Highway 441 with the windows down
A beer in one hand, the radio blasting
My old needs I won't recognize
I'm over you
Hold on to the evening, hold on to the morn
All night long, sunshine hiding underneath and
I'm gonna phone her, but not today
I'm gonna write her, but not today
Today I'm gonna be
Driving down Highway 441 with the windows down
A beer in one hand, the radio blasting
My old needs I won't recognize
I'm over you
Miles of country road rise, rise away
The cars are by the river
Clouds are in the coffee-shops around here
Peace, Love and Understanding
Elvis Costello
As I walk through this wicked world
Searching for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself, "is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?"
And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I want to know
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
And as I walk on through troubled times
My spirit gets so down-hearted sometimes
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is that harmony?
'Cause each time I feel it slipping away
Just makes me want to cry
What's so funny bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is that harmony? Sweet harmony
'Cause each time I feel it slipping away
Just makes me want to cry
What's so funny bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
The Christmas Song
Mel Torme
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you
Torn
Toad the Wet Sprocket
I fear nothing
Besides myself
Please don't touch me
Love like an infant trying to stand up
Am I two souls
One hard, one whole
Am I real
I don't want to feel anything
Anymore
I feel nothing
Besides this pain
Please don't watch me
Love like an infant
Scared and crawling
Where Were You
Hootie & the Blowfish
Where were you
When I needed a friend
Where were you
When I kissed my very first girl
Haven't seen you for 15 years
Now you walk into my life
And I wonder if the world is laughing at me
Didn't need you when I played young games
I can't see why I'd want you now
So, go away
Mama didn't want you
So I don't need you
Go away
Just walk away like you did before
But I'll stand up and be OK
I remember hanging out with my friends
Sitting around lying about who my daddy is
Soon as I see you for what you are
So I hold on to my dreams, cause
Without you I might get a little farther, now
Now I hold you in a bigger light
Yeah she told me someday I'll be all right
So, go away
I didn't need your smile then
I don't want to see you right now my friend
Go away
My sister cried and grabbed my hand and said, "D we'll be OK"
I'd see you walk the street
With the other boy and I'd scream "What about me"
It's all about him I'm sorry to say
I wish it didn't have to be this way
I wouldn't give anything to be with you back then
And I turned out okay
Rose made me a much better man
So, go away
Momma didn't want you
So my brother don't need you
Go away
And don't try to play your games with me
I have to go can't you see
Go away, I said
I don't want you
And my sister don't need you
