Zoneboy 09-06-2007, 03:52 AM "The South's Gonna Do it Again" - The Charlie Daniels Band
Well, the train to Grinder's Switch is runnin' right on time
And them Tucker Boys are cookin' down in Caroline
People down in Florida can't be still
When ol' Lynyrd Skynrd's pickin' down in Jacksonville
People down in Georgia come from near and far
To hear Richard Betts pickin' on that red guitar
Chorus:
So gather 'round, gather 'round children'
Get down, well just get down children'
Get loud, well you can be loud and be proud
Well you can be proud, hear now
Be proud you're a rebel
'Cause the South's gonna do it again and again
Elvin Bishop sittin' on a bale of hay
He ain't good lookin', but he sure can play
And there's ZZ Top and you can't forget
That old brother Willie's gettin' soakin' wet
And all the good people down in Tennessee
Are diggin' barefoot Jerry and C.D.B
Chorus:
So gather 'round, gather 'round children'
Get down, well just get down children'
Get loud, well you can be loud and be proud
Well you can be proud, hear now
Be proud you're a rebel
'Cause the South's gonna do it again and again
Zoneboy 09-06-2007, 03:59 AM "Fourth of July" - Shooter Jennings
Alone with the morning burning red in the canvas in my head
Painting a picture of you
And me driving across country, in a dusty old RV
Just the road and its majesty
And I'm looking at you with the world in the rear view
Chorus-
You were pretty as can be, sitting in the front seat
Looking at me, telling me you love me ,and your happy to be,
With me on the 4th of July
We sang Stranglehold to the stereo
Couldn't take no more of that rock n roll
So we put on a little George Jones and just sang along
Those white lines get drawn into the sun if you aint got no one
To keep you hanging on
And there you were like a queen with your nightgown, riding shotgun from town to town
Staking a claim on the world we found
And I'm singing to you, your singing to me ,you were out of the blue to a boy like me
Chorus-
You were pretty as can be, sitting in the front seat
Looking at me, telling me you love me ,and your happy to be,
With me on the 4th of July
We sang Stranglehold to the stereo
Couldn't take no more of that rock n roll
So we put on a little George Jones and just sang along
and im looking for you in the silence that we share
Chorus-
You were pretty as can be, sitting in the front seat
Looking at me, telling me you love me ,and your happy to be,
With me on the 4th of July
We sang Stranglehold to the stereo
Couldn't take no more of that rock n roll
So we put on a little George Jones and just sang along
Ohio8 09-07-2007, 09:58 PM Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama"
Zoneboy 09-07-2007, 10:04 PM Written by T. Seals and M.D. Barnes
You know this old world is full of singers
But just a few are chosen
To tear your heart out when they sing
Imagine life without them
All your, radio heros
Like the outlaw that walks through Jesse's dream
No, there will never be another
Red-headed stranger
A Man in Black and Folsom Prison Blues
The Okie from Muskogee
Or Hello Darling
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes
(Chorus)
Who's gonna fill their shoes
Who's gonna stand that tall
Who's gonna play the Opry
And the Wabash Cannonball
Who's gonna give their heart and soul
To get to me and you
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes
God bless the boys from Memphis
Blue Suede Shoes and Elvis
Much too soon he left this world in tears
They tore up the Fifties
Old Jerry Lee and Charlie
And old Go Cat Go still echoes through the years
You know the heart of country music
Still beats in Luke the Drifer
You can tell when hew sings I Saw the Light
Old Marty, Hank and Lefty
Why I can feel them right here with me
On this Silver Eagle rolling through the night
(Chorus)
Who's gonna fill their shoes
Who's gonna stand that tall
Who's gonna play the Opry
And the Wabash Cannonball
Who's gonna give their heart and soul
To get to me and you
Lord I wonder, who's gonna fill their shoes
ABlairican Pie 09-08-2007, 12:41 AM Goddamn Electric
by Pantera
There is a part of me that's always sixteen
I've found the secret of eternal youth
Some get high on life or money, but there's an
Escape, drop out of the race.
- To walk through the world by ones self, you can't be
Protected... your trust is in whiskey and weed and
Black Sabbath - It's Goddamn Electric
Don't waste your time, embrace it
And then you'll know yourself
The change in you is Goddamn Electric
The weight of the world has lifted and parted
My eyes roll blind to sights that distracted
Through tunnel-vision and dope-hair blinders
I'll cut a path and evoke my will
- To walk through the world by ones self, you can't
Be protected... your trust is in whiskey and weed
And Slayer, it's Goddamn Electric
Don't fake your life - inhale it
And then you'll know yourself
The change in you is Goddamn Electric
Don't waste your time, embrace it
And then you'll know yourself
The change that is Goddamn Electric will focus>
The Mind's Eye...
One hand on the bottle, the other a shaking
Fist, rejuvenated, isolated, no pressure
From the outside, my sight's Goddamn Electric
And these eyes have seen a world
Goddamn Electric system...

By Dennis Lambert-Franne Golde-Walter Orange
MICHAEL, he was a friend of mine
For more than forty years, no brighter star did shine
MICHAEL, they call you, “King Of Pop”
But for your gentle soul, the pain would never stop
It’s over now, it’s over now
Ah, talk to me, and “1-2-3”, “I’ll be there” oh,
When you’re blue, I wanna “rock with you”, forever more, ever more, ever more
Gonna be some sweet sounds comin’ down
On the NIGHTSHIFT
I bet you’re singin’ proud, oh, I bet you pull a crowd, um
Gonna be a long night, gonna be alright
On the NIGHTSHIFT
It’s gonna be fine, it’s gonna be fine
You found another home, I know you’re not alone
On the NIGHTSHIFT
You’re in a better place, forever in his grace
And all of the company…Levi, Luther, Sam, Teddy and Ray
MICHAEL, um, hey what you doin’ now?
Does MARVIN know you’re there?, has JACKIE come around?
MICHAEL, oh, I pray you really hear us…
Cause not a day goes by, when we don’t feel your love,
And know that you’re near us
Nightshift –2-
Keep it up, “don’t stop the way.. you’re makin’ me feel”, oh
Say you will, say you will, .. sing your songs forever more, ever more, ever more
Gonna be some sweet sounds, oh yeah, comin’ down
On the NIGHTSHIFT
You found another home, we know that you’re not alone
On the NIGHTSHIFT
Gonna miss your sweet voice, that soulful noise
On the NIGHTSHIFT, woh, on the NIGHTSHIFT
We all remember you, oh Michael, Michael your songs are comin’ through
At the end of a long day, it’s gonna be okay
On the NIGHTSHIFT
It’s gonna be fine
I bet you’re singin’ proud, oh, I bet you pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night, gonna be alright on the NIGHTSHIFT
You found another home, I know you’re not alone
On the NIGHTSHIFT
Don’t stop singin’ Billie Jean, you know the world is listening (2x)

Music for the young and old
Music revelation rock and roll and soul
Right on right on
Right on (repeat)
There was Little Richard ( Tutti Fruti)
And Elvis too (shook up, shook up, shook up)
Way back in the fifties ( way back, way back, way back)
There were doing it for me and you
Well I know there is way
With music we can say
These songs are in our blood
So let them play cos it's happening today
Right on right on
Right on (repeat)
And we see it all so clear
The music while we are here
And we need it everyday
No doubt about it we can show the way
Talking about Sam cooke
Jackie Wilson was their names
Ever since then things ain't been the same
(ain't be the same)
Otis Redding God may rest his soul
Play back James Brown
How slides I don't know
There's Motor City that gave us the motown tunes
They laid the foundation lord
And made Detroit some thing new
Yeahwe're talking about Marvin Gaye
(What's going on)
Little Stevie ( For once in my life)
Smokey (Tears of a Clown)
Supremes ( Baby love)
Right on right on
Right on (repeat)

mystery_daisy 03-04-2012, 05:22 PM I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool
I remember wearin' straight leg Levis
Flannel shirts Even when they weren't in style
I remember singin' with Roy Rogers
at the movies when the West was really wild
And I was listenin' to the Opry
When all of my friends
were diggin' Rock 'n Roll and Rhythm & Blues
I was Country, when Country wasn't cool
I remember circlin' the drive-in,
pullin' up and turnin' down George Jones
I remember when no one was lookin'
I was puttin' peanuts in my Coke
I took a lot of kiddin'
'Cause I never did fit in
now look at everybody
tryin' to be what I was then
I was Country, when Country wasn't cool
Oooh
(Chorus:)
I was Country, when Country wasn't cool
I was Country, from my hat down to my boots
I still act, and look the same
What you see ain't nothin' new
I was Country, when Country wasn't cool
(Instrumental Break)
They call us country bumpkins
For stickin' to our roots
I'm just glad we're in a country
Where we're all free to choose
I was Country, when Country wasn't cool
(George Jones)
Hey I was Country, when Country wasn't cool
Yeah I was country, from my hat down to, Whoa my boots
I still act, and look the same
What you see ain't nothin' new
...
written by Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan, produced by Tom Collins

Gordon Lightfoot
Sang a song
About a boat
That sank in the lake
At the break
Of the morning
A Cat named Stevens
Found a faith
He could believe in
And Joan Baez
I never listened
Too much jazz
But hippie songs
Could be heard
In our pad
Eddie Rabbitt sang
About how much
He loved a rainy night
Abba, Devo, Benatar
Were there the day
John Lennon died
Mr. Springsteen said
He had a hungry heart
Grover Washington
Was happy on the day
He topped the charts
These are the songs
Chorus:
These are my heart songs
They never feel wrong
And when I wake
For goodness sake
These are the songs
I keep singin'
Quiet Riot got me started
With the bangin' of my head
Iron Maiden, Judas Priest
And Slayer
Taught me how to shred
I've got to admit though
Sometimes
I would listen
To the radio
Debbie Gibson
Tell me that you think
We're all alone
Michael Jackson's
In the mirror
I've gotta have faith
If I wanna see clear
Never gonna give you up
Wish me love
Or wishing well
It takes two to make
A thing go right
If the Fresh Prince
Starts a fight
Don't you worry
For too long
'Cause you know
These are the songs
(Chorus)
Back in 1991
I wasn't havin' any fun
'Till my roommate said
"Come on and put
a brand new record on"
Had a baby on it
He was naked on it
Then I heard the chords
That broke the chains
I had upon me
Got together with my bros
In some rehearsal studios
Then we played
Our first rock show
And watched the fan base
Start to grow
Signed the deal that gave
The dough to make
A record of our own
The song come
On the radio
Now people go
This is the song
These are my heart songs
They never feel wrong
And when I wake
For goodness sake
These are the songs
I keep singing
(4x):
These are the songs
I keep singing
