    Zac Brown- Chicken Fried


    You know I like my chicken fried
    Cold beer on a Friday night
    A pair of jeans that fit just right
    And the radio up

    Well I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia pine
    And that?s home you know
    Sweet tea pecan pie and homemade wine
    Where the peaches grow
    And my house it?s not much to talk about
    But it?s filled with love that?s grown in southern ground
    And a little bit of chicken fried

    Cold beer on a Friday night
    A pair of jeans that fit just right
    And the radio up
    Well I?ve seen the sunrise
    See the love in my woman?s eyes
    Feel the touch of a precious child
    And know a mother?s love

    And its funny how it?s the little things in life that mean the most
    Not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes
    There?s no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I?ve come to know
    So if you agree have a drink with me
    Raise you glasses for a toast
    To a little bit of chicken fried

    Cold beer on a Friday night
    A pair of jeans that fit just right
    And the radio up
    Well I?ve seen the sunrise
    See the love in my woman?s eyes
    Feel the touch of a precious child
    And know a mother?s love

    I thank god for my life
    And for the stars and stripes
    May freedom forever fly, let it ring.
    Salute the ones who died
    And the ones that gave their lives so we don?t have to sacrifice
    All the things we love
    Like our chicken fried

    Cold beer on a Friday night
    A pair of jeans that fit just right
    And the radio up
    Well I?ve seen the sunrise
    See the love in my woman?s eyes
    Feel the touch of a precious child
    And know a mother?s love

    You know I like my chicken fried
    Cold beer on a Friday night
    A pair of jeans that fit just right
    And the radio up
    Well I?ve seen the sunrise
    See the love in my woman?s eyes
    Feel the touch of a precious child
    And know a mother?s love

    Where do we go from here now that all other children are growin up
    And how do we spend our lives if theres noone to lend us a hand

    I dont wanna live here no more, I dont wanna stay
    Aint gonna spend the rest of my life, quietly fading away

    Games people play, you take it or you leave it
    Things that they say, honor brite
    If I promise you the moon and the stars, would you believe it
    Games people play in the middle of the night

    Where do we go from here now that all of the children have grown up
    And how do we spend our lives knowin nobody gives us a damn

    I dont wanna live here no more, I dont wanna stay
    Aint gonna spend the rest of my life, quietly fading away

    Games people play, you take it or you leave it
    Things that they say, just dont make it right
    If Im telling you the truth right now, do you believe it
    Games people play in the middle of the night

    Games people play, you take it or you leave it

    Flight of Icarus
    Iron Maiden


    As the sun breaks above the ground
    An old man stands on the hill
    As the ground warms to the first rays of light
    A birdsong shatters the still

    His eyes are ablaze
    See the madman in his gaze

    Fly on your way like an eagle
    Fly as high as the sun
    On your wings like an eagle
    Fly and touch the sun

    Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
    Look the old man in his eyes
    As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
    In the name of God my father I fly

    His eyes seem so glazed
    As he flies on the wings of a dream
    Now he knows his father betrayed
    Now his wings burn to ashes to ashes his grave

    Fly on your way like an eagle
    Fly as high as the sun
    On your wings like an eagle
    Fly and touch the sun

    Survivor - High on You


    There you stood, that'll teach ya
    To look so good and feel so right
    Let me tell you 'bout the girl I met last night
    It's understood, I had to reach ya
    I let the wheel of fortune spin
    I touched your hand before the crowd
    Started crushin' in
    Now I'm higher than a kite
    I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love
    Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
    Beggin' for your touch in the middle
    Of the street and I --
    *I can't stop thinking 'bout you girl
    I must be living in a fantasy world
    I've searched the whole world over
    To find a heart so true
    Such complete intoxication
    I'm high on you*

    [ame= - Survivor - High On You -- (Solid Gold)[/ame]

    Smart and coy, a little crazy
    The kinda face that starts a fight
    Let me tell you 'bout the girl I had last night
    Piercin' eyes, like a raven
    You seemed to share my secret sin
    We were high before the night
    Started kickin' in
    Now I'm screamin' in the night
    I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love
    Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
    Beggin' for your touch in the middle
    Of the street and I --
    ( * Repeat)

    (Chuck Berry) John Lennon - YOU CAN'T CATCH ME


    I bought a brand-new air-mobile
    It custom-made, 'twas a Flight De Ville
    With a pow'ful motor and some hideaway wings
    Push in on the button and you will get a scene

    CHORUS:
    Now you can't catch me, baby you can't catch me
    'Cause if you get too close, you know I'm gone like a cool breeze

    New Jersey Turnpike in the wee wee hours
    I was rollin' slow because of drizzlin' showers
    Here come a flat-top, he was movin' up with me
    Then come wavin' goodbye a little' old souped-up jitney
    I put my foot in my tank and I began to roll
    Moanin' siren, 'twas a state patrol
    So I let out my wings and then I blew my horn
    Bye bye New Jersey, I'd be come and gone

    (chorus)

    Flyin' with my baby last Saturday night
    Not a gray cloud floatin' in sight
    Big full moon shinin' up above
    Cuddle up honey, be my love
    Sweetest little thing I've ever seen
    I'm gonna name you Maybellene
    Flyin' on the beam, set on flight control
    Radio tuned to rock 'n' roll
    Two, three hours have passed us by
    I'll be 2 dropped to 5:05
    Fuel consumption way too fast
    Let's get on home before we run out of gas

    (chorus)

    Beatles


    Yes I'm lonely wanna die
    Yes I'm lonely wanna die
    If I ain't dead already
    Ooh girl you know the reason why.

    In the morning wanna die
    In the evening wanna die
    If I ain't dead already
    Ooh girl you know the reason why.

    My mother was of the sky
    My father was of the earth
    But I am of the universe
    And you know what it's worth
    I'm lonely wanna die
    If I ain't dead already
    Ooh girl you know the reason why.

    The eagle picks my eye
    The worm he licks my bones
    I feel so suicidal
    Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
    Lonely wanna die
    If I ain't dead already
    Ooh girl you know the reason why.

    Black cloud crossed my mind
    Blue mist round my soul
    Feel so suicidal
    Even hate my rock and roll
    Wanna die yeah wanna die
    If I ain't dead already
    Ooh girl you know the reason why.

    Super animation,turning on a nation
    And they're saying all moving parts stand still
    Since he was elected,adrenalin injected
    Hear him saying all moving parts should kill
    Just like the hero he's got them all on the run,
    yes he's won

    Since he passed the motion
    They're building in the ocean
    And he's saying all men should be free
    What a combination,peace and radiation
    And he's saying free men should fight for me
    Just like his momma,he seems to get his pleasure from pain,
    And the rain,ain't that strange? Very strange

    I like choking toys
    You've got to see me before you meet the boys
    Teacher's burnt the school,
    He's had enough of sticking to the rules
    People stop and see
    he's got to be more decadent than me
    Just to pass the time
    He gets his kicks from licking off the wine

    Pretty silly ladies
    All Cynthia'd and Sadie's
    Call him and he takes their numbers down
    Says he is a woman
    Should have seen it coming
    And she says she's married to a clown
    Just like a lady she'll keep you guessing through the night
    Not tonight,well I might,oh alright...!

    You Wont Change Me
    Black Sabbath


    I'm just a man and I am what I am, yeah
    Nobody will ever change my ways
    I don't need money and I don't need no lies, yeah
    I only need to live for today

    But I'd like to talk things over with you
    I want to hear the things you say,today
    Although you won't change me anyway, oh no way

    I wish you'd come and see me,I'd like to hold you
    I want to set my mind all free
    You understand me woman, you give me time
    But I don't need no sympathy

    Still I wonder what it's like to be loved
    Instead of hiding in myself
    Nobody will change me anyway, no no way

    Nobody's gonna change my world
    That's something too unreal
    Nobody will change the way I feel

    So listen to me now, hear what I say, yeah
    Please give me time and maybe love
    If there's a God up there, well I hope he helps me
    I need him now to set me free

    'Cos it may be that it's over for me
    If you don't hear the things that I say,today
    Nobody will change me anyway, no no way

    Nobody's gonna change my world
    That's something too unreal
    Nobody will change the way I feel

    She nursed him there, ooh, over a night
    I wasnt so sure she wanted him to stay
    What to say...what to say
    But soon she was down, soon he was low
    At a quarter past...a holy no...
    She had to turn around

    When she couldnt hold, oh...she folded...
    A dissident is here
    Escape is never, the safest path
    Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here

    And to this day, shes glided on
    Always home but so far away
    Like a word misplaced
    Nothing said, what a waste
    When she had contact...with the conflict...
    There was meaning, but she sold him to the state
    She had to turn around

    When she couldnt hold...she folded...
    A dissident is here
    Escape is never, the safest path
    Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh...oh...oh...

    She gave him away when she couldnt hold...no...she folded...
    A dissident is here escape is never, the safest path
    Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh...
    Couldnt hold on...she couldnt hold...no...she folded...
    A dissident is here

    Harry Nilsson - Driving Along



    Driving along
    You can see all the people
    Who seem to have nothing to say to each other
    Each day they grow farther and farther away from each other

    Driving along
    You can spot all the problems
    On faces so tired of facing each other
    Each day they grow farther and farther away from each other

    Driving along at fifty seven thousand miles an hour
    Look at those people standing on the petals of a flower
    Look at those petals pumping for a little bit of power

    Driving along
    You can see all the people
    Who seem to have nothing to say to each other
    Each day they grow farther and farther away from each other

    They seem to say nothing
    They seem to go nowhere
    They seem to go farther
    They seem to go nowhere
    They seem to go farther
    They seem to go nowhere
    They seem to go farther
    And farther and farther

    Drivin faster in my car
    Falling farther from just what we are
    Smoke a cigarette and lie some more
    These conversations kill
    Falling faster in my car

    Time to take her home
    Her dizzy head is conscience laden
    Time to take a ride
    It leaves today no conversation
    Time to take her home
    Her dizzy head is conscience laden
    Time to wait too long
    To wait too long
    These conversations kill

    To much walkin, shoes worn thin
    Too much trippin and my souls worn thin
    Time to catch a ride
    It leaves today, her name is what it means
    To much walkin, shoes worn thin

    You Can Call me Al
    Paul Simon


    A man walks down the street
    He says why am I soft in the middle now
    Why am I soft in the middle
    The rest of my life is so hard
    I need a photo-opportunity
    I want a shot at redemption
    Dont want to end up a cartoon
    In a cartoon graveyard
    Bonedigger bonedigger
    Dogs in the moonlight
    Far away my well-lit door
    Mr. beerbelly beerbelly
    Get these mutts away from me
    You know I dont find this stuff amusing anymore


    If you'll be my bodyguard
    I can be your long lost pal
    I can call you betty
    And betty when you call me
    You can call me al

    A man walks down the street
    He says why am I short of attention
    Got a short little span of attention
    And wo my nights are so long
    Wheres my wife and family
    What if I die here
    Who'll be my role-model
    Now that my role-model is
    Gone gone
    He ducked back down the alley
    With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
    All along along
    There were incidents and accidents
    There were hints and allegations

    If you'll be my bodyguard
    I can be your long lost pal
    I can call you betty
    And betty when you call me
    You can call me al
    Call me al

    A man walks down the street
    Its a street in a strange world
    Maybe its the third world
    Maybe its his first time around
    He doesnt speak the language
    He holds no currency
    He is a foreign man
    He is surrounded by the sound
    The sound
    Cattle in the marketplace
    Scatterlings and orphanages
    He looks around, around
    He sees angels in the architecture
    Spinning in infinity
    He says amen! and hallelujah!

    If you'll be my bodyguard
    I can be your long lost pal
    I can call you betty
    And betty when you call me
    You can call me al
    Call me al

    Too Much Time on My Hands
    Styx



    Sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool
    Got the twelve o'clock news blues
    And I've given up hope on the afternoon soaps
    And a bottle of cold brew
    Is it any wonder I'm not crazy? is it any wonder I'm sane at all?

    Well I'm so tired of losing- I got nothing to do and all day to do it
    I go out cruisin but I've no place to go and all night to get there
    Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal?
    Is it any wonder I'm not in jail?
    Is it any wonder I've got

    Too much time on my hands, its ticking away with my sanity
    I've got too much time on my hands, its hard to believe such a calamity
    I've got too much time on my hands and its ticking away from me
    Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
    Too much time on my hands

    Well, I'm a jet fuel genius - I can solve the worlds problems
    Without even trying
    I have dozens of friends and the fun never ends
    That is, as long as I'm buying
    Is it any wonder I'm not the president
    (hes not the president)
    Is it any wonder I'm null and void?
    Is it any wonder I've got

    Too much time on my hands, its ticking away at my sanity
    Ive got too much time on my hands, its hard to believe such a calamity
    Ive got too much time on my hands and its ticking away from me
    Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands

    The Best of Times
    Styx


    Tonights the night we'll make history, honey, you and I
    And I'll take any risk to tie back the hands of time
    And stay with you here tonight
    I know you feel these are the worst of times
    I do believe its true

    When people lock their doors and hide inside
    Rumor has it its the end of paradise
    But I know, if the world just passed us by
    Baby I know, you wouldnt have to cry

    The best of times are when I'm alone with you
    Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two
    Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
    Well take the best, forget the rest
    And someday we'll find these are the best of times
    These are the best of times

    The headlines read these are the worst of times
    I do believe its true
    I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide
    I wish the summer winds could bring back paradise
    But I know, if the world turned upside down
    Baby, I know youd always be around

    The best of times are when I'm alone with you
    Some rain some shine, well make this a world for two
    Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
    Well take the best, forget the rest
    And someday well find these are the best of times
    These are the best of times

    And
    So my friends we'll say goodnight for time has claimed its prize
    But tonight will always last
    As long as we keep alive memories of paradise...

    Well its all right, riding around in the breeze
    Well its all right, if you live the life you please
    Well its all right, doing the best you can
    Well its all right, as long as you lend a hand


    You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring
    Waiting for someone to tell you everything
    Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring
    Maybe a diamond ring


    Well its all right, even if they say you're wrong
    Well its all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
    Well its all right, as long as you got somewhere to lay
    Well its all right, everyday is judgement day


    Maybe somewhere down the road aways
    Youll think of me, and wonder where I am these days
    Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays
    Purple haze


    Well its all right, even when push comes to shove
    Well its all right, if you got someone to love
    Well its all right, everything'll work out fine
    Well its all right, were going to the end of the line


    Dont have to be ashamed of the car I drive
    Im just glad to be here, happy to be alive
    It don't matter if you're by my side
    Im satisfied


    Well its all right, even if youre old and grey
    Well its all right, you still got something to say
    Well its all right, remember to live and let live
    Well its all right, the best you can do is forgive


    Well its all right, riding around in the breeze
    Well its all right, if you live the life you please
    Well its all right, even if the sun don't shine
    Well its all right, we're going to the end of the line
