There's A Woman Going Crazy On Caroline Street

She claimed in a loud voice to be a dancer
but I don't think she's cut a rug in years
Listens to the jukebox for her answers
and slowly guzzles $.25 beer

If There’s A Rocket Tie Me To It

A fire, a fire
You can only take what you can carry
A pulse, your pulse
It’s the only thing I can remember

-- Snow Patrol (YouTube Video)

Crack The Shutters Open

Crack the shutters open wide
I wanna bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body

-- Snow Patrol (YouTube Video)

Castles In The Sky

do you ever question your life?
do you ever wonder why?
do you ever see in your dreams,
all the castles in the sky...

I'd Have To Be Crazy

And I may not be normal, but nobody is
So I’d like to say ‘fore I’m through
I’d have to be crazy, plumb out of my mind
To fall out of love with you

-- Willie Nelson

Favorite Memory Of Mine

I guess everything does change
Except what you choose to recall
There's a million good daydreams to dream on
But Baby, you are my favorite memory of all

-- Waylon Jennings

Chain Hang Low

Do you chain hang low
Do it wobble to da flo
Do it shine in da light
Iz it platinum, iz it gold?

Old Nashville Cowboy

The old cowboy's life now is gone with the past
Like the whiskey he drank it all went down too fast
He didn't know how to make each swallow last
And the head waitress won't be back to fill up his glass

In The Middle

No parachutes no safety nets here
One foot on the water to face these fears
I'm coming out strong like I can't be wrong
I said "hey, I won't fall in the middle"

Buy Myself a Chance

Well, if things don’t work out by the next song
And you’re looking for someone who can dance
I’ll be right over there by the jukebox, a quarter in my hand
Trying to buy myself a chance

Survive

Sometimes, kinda get real ill
When I receive my monthly telephone bill
But you say it, and I'll pay it
'Cause it just helps me to survive

Floridays

Pale invaders and tan crusaders are worshipping the sun
On the corner of walk and don't walk somewhere on U.S. 1
I'm back to livin' Floridays, blue skies and ultra violet rays
Lookin' for better days

--Jimmy Buffett

Before The Next Teardrop Falls

If he brings you happiness, then i wish you all the best
It's your happiness that matters most of all
But if he ever breaks your heart, if the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls

That's The Way That The World Goes 'Round

I was crying ice cubes hoping I'd croak,
When the sun come through the window, the ice all broke.
I stood up and laughed thought it was a joke
That's the way that the world goes 'round.

--John Prine (YouTube video)

Vibrator

She didn’t say much, just got on the floor
Everybody scream and hollered ‘cause they wanted more
All the boys want to know when they could date her
When she shook that big butt like a vibrator

--Travis Matte (YouTube video)

Wake Up Older

Oh the things lovers do when it's over
Oh the things lovers do when it's done
Find a cool bottle or a warm shoulder
Wake up older and try to move on

Atlantic City

Well now, everything dies, baby, that’s a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

Me and Your Cigarettes

Always there every time you need me
It ain't love, it's just like nicotine
You're addicted to a feeling you can only get
From me and your cigarettes

--Miranda Lambert

Highway Patrolman

Man turns his back on his family well he just ain't no good

Against The Wind

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

O D'd In Denver

We started the tour out in Denver, Colorado
I made the first one but I did not make the second show
Cause I met this girl there that brought about quite a big change
But I OD'd in Denver and I just can't remember her name

Anything

Now that you're gone
I find that I'm strong
I can deal with anything
I can handle anything

Troubadour

I was a young troubadour,
When I rode in on a song,
And I'll be an old troubadour,
When I'm gone.

Three Days

I got three days to wash the road out of my soul
I got three days to love you out of control
And I wish I had a lifetime to hold onto you this way
Love can do some healing in just three days
