seven nation army
i'm gonna fight 'em off
a seven nation army couldn't hold me back
they're gonna rip it off
taking their time right behind my back
and i'm talking to myself at night
because i can't forget
back and forth through my mind
behind a cigarette
and the message coming from my eyes
says leave it alone
don't want to hear about it
every single one's got a story to tell
everyone knows about it
from the queen of england to the hounds of hell
and if i catch it coming back my way
i'm gonna serve it to you
and that ain't what you want to hear
but that's what i'll do
and a feeling coming from my bones
says find a home
i'm going to wichita
far from this opera forevermore
i'm gonna work the straw
make the sweat drip out of every pore
and i'm bleeding, and i'm bleeding, and i'm bleeding
right before the lord
all the words are gonna bleed from me
and i will think no more
and the stains coming from my blood
tell me "go back home"

Georgia On My Mind

georgia on my mind
georgia, georgia
the whole day through
just an old sweet song
keeps that georgia on my mind
georgia, georgia
a song of you
comes bright and clear
as moonlight through the pines
other arms reach out for me
other eyes smile tenderly
still in peaceful dreams i see
the road leads back to you
georgia, georgia
no peace i find
just an old sweet song
keeps georgia on my mind

It Was A Very Good Year
03:41
|

it was a very good year
when i was seventeen
it was a very good year
it was a very good year for small town girls
and soft summer nights
we'd hide from the lights
on the village green
when i was seventeen
when i was twenty-one
it was a very good year
it was a very good year for city girls
who lived up the stair
with all that perfumed hair
and it came undone
when i was twenty-one
when i was thirty-five
it was a very good year
it was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
of independent means
we'd ride in limousines
their chauffeurs would drive
when i was thirty-five
but now the days grow short
i'm in the autumn of the year
and now i think of my life as vintage wine
from fine old kegs
from the brim to the dregs
and it poured sweet and clear
it was a very good year

Can't Find My Way Home
02:55
|

can’t find my way home s. winwood
come down off your throne and leave your body alone
somebody must change
you are the reason, i've been waiting so long
somebody holds the key
but i'm near the end and i just ain't got the time
and i'm wasted and i can't find my way home
come down on your own and leave your body alone
somebody must change
you are the reason, i've been waiting all these years
somebody holds the key
but i'm near the end and i just ain't got the time
oh and i'm wasted and i can't find my way home

Blues Say Goodbye

blues say goodbye dean/ewbank music mint bmi
it’s cold in my bed when you go away
the sun disappears and the sky turns gray
sad caller comes over whenever you go
when you say goodbye the blues say hello
i try to shake’m make’m go home
blues just don’t get it – won’t leave me alone
bothers and bugs me as i walk down the street
follows me places where we used to meet
and this blues has a grip
that won’t let go
like a cryin’ old drunk
in a world full of woe
he’s got to tell his story
got to tell it one more time
and if i hear it again
i’m gonna lose my mind
lovers will quarrel
and break love apart
and say all the cruel things
that fracture a heart
but i can’t stop believing
all the love we had was real
i just can’t deny
all the things that i feel
so hurry back lover
‘cause three is a crowd
and when we’re together
you know the blues ain’t allowed
bring back the sun and the sky blue sky
when you say hello the blues say goodbye

you make me feel so young
you make me feel so young
you make me feel like spring has sprung
every time i see you grin
im such a happy individual
the moment that you speak
i want to go and play hide-and-seek
i want to go and bounce the moon
just like a toy balloon
you and i, are just like a couple of tots
running across the meadow
picking up lots of forget-me-nots
you make me feel so young
you make me feel there are songs to be sung
bells to be rung, wonderful flings to be flung
and even when im old and gray
i’m gonna feel the way i do today
’cause you make me feel so young

Going To California
06:46

going to california
spend my days with a woman unkind,
smoke my stuff and drink - all my wine.
made up my mind to make a new start,
going to california with an aching - in my heart
someone told me there's a girl out there
with love in her eyes and flowers - in her hair
took my chances on a big jet plane,
never let ‘em tell you that they're a-l-l the same.
the sea was red and the sky was grey;
i wonder how tomorrow - could ever follow today.
mountains and the canyons
start to tremble and shake
children of the sun begin to awake.
seems that the wrath of the gods
got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
i think i might be sinking.
throw me a line if i reach it in time
i'll meet you up there where the path
runs straight and high.
to find a queen without a king,
they say she plays guitar and cries - and sings...
ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
tryin' to find a woman
who's never, never, never been born.
standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
telling myself
it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

i ain’t got nothin’ but the blues
ain't got the change of a nickel
ain't got no bounce in my shoes
ain't go no fancy to tickle
i ain't got nothing but the blues
ain't got no coffee that's perking
ain't got no winnings to lose
ain't got a dream that is working
i ain't got nothing but the blues
when trumpets flare up
i keep my hair up
i just can't make it come down
believe me pappy
i can't get happy
since my ever loving baby left town
ain't got no rest in my slumber
ain't got no feelings to bruise
ain't got no telephone number
i ain't got nothing but the blues

save that sweet dream for me m. ewbank/t. dean music mint bmi
chorus:
when you go to sleep tonight
i hope the sandman treats you right
and sends you off to pleasant dreams
of blue skies speckled pink and tangerine
where things can be just like you want them to be
save that sweet dream for me
'cause i know the night
is deep, dark, and wide
nightlights and pillows
can’t hold back that tide
let me hold you in my arms
and watch time be still
open up our hearts
and do love's will
chorus:
so when you go to sleep tonight…
i see the years
like sand in the wind
feel it shaping our bones
wearing us thin
when i lay me down to sleep
i want to be there with you
i pray the lord to keep
our dream come true
chorus:
and when you go to sleep tonight…
so dream perfection every single minute
make it like you want then put me in it
and save that sweet dream, sweet dream,
sweet dream for me

teach me tonight
did you say i've got a lot to learn
well, don't think i'm trying not to learn
since this is the perfect spot to learn
teach me tonight
starting with the a, b, c of it
right down to the x, y, z of it
help me solve the mystery of it
teach me tonight
the sky's a blackboard high above you
if a shooting star goes by
i'll use that star to write i love you
a thousand times across the sky
one thing isn't very clear my love
should the teacher stand so near my love
graduation's almost here my love
teach me tonight

Let The Good Times Roll
03:26
|
|||
hey everybody,
let's have some fun
you only live but once
and when you're dead you're done
so let the good times roll,
i said let the good times roll,
i don't care if you're young or old,
you oughtta get together and let the good times roll
don't sit there mumbling
talkin' trash
if you want to have a ball,
you got to go out and spend some cash
and let the good times roll now,
i'm talkin' 'bout the good times,
well it makes no difference whether you're young or old,
all you got to do is get together and let the good times roll
tell everybody, tommy dean’s in town,
i got a dollar and a quarter and i'm just rarin’ to clown
but don't let nobody, play me cheap,
i got fifty cents more than i'm gonna keep.
so let the good times roll now,
i tell y'all i'm gonna let the good times roll now,
well it don't make no difference if you're young or old,
all you got to do is get together and let the good times roll
hey no matter whether, rainy weather,
let the good times roll.
