A Place At My Table
And youll always have a place at my table
Hey dinners ready come on and eat
Get her done
This aint no Memphis soul songs
And Motown rhythm and blues
Or smoky broken soundtracks
Of my every childhood moves
Soothing are the cameras looking out at my back 40
Lord I dont know where Id be if not from Berigordi
See my story aint that simple and it dont stop here
Patsy Cline still echos through my younger years
I know you can hear me cause the music never stops
George Jone sang me to sleep whether he knows it or not
CHORUS
And Ill always lend a hand if Im able
And youll always have a place at my table
Ive been this whole world over with Detroit on my mind
But Ive got friends in Tennessee Atlanta and Caroline
We dont need no money and we dont want no grief
But if you came to give some youll be pickin up your teeth
REPEAT CHORUS
Thats your Uncle Kracker sittin back there on that back porch
And I think sittin back here I can see everything I need to see
I think back here I can see poor old Mr. Bradford fuelin up the Benz
Everything is truly everything
Thats all it can ever be
And that sure is good enough for me ha ha
(And Ill always give ya help if Im able
And youll always have a place at my table)
REPEAT CHORUS Get her done

Butterflies Are Free
Dont close your hand
Just close your eyes
And I will stay right by your side
And if this world turns cruel & cold
Look to the skies
Dont you see the truth?
The power of one, the power of two
The power of me loving you
Chorus:
Butterflies are free
Free to come and go
Free to spread their wings
Know that I know
Youll come back to me
Cause love like butterflies are free
You see a light
You hear the call
And if I dont let you fly
I dont know you at all
So go on and roam
See all that you can
Born unto this earth a curious soul
You and you alone
Can make you feel whole
But dont I add truth
Youve never known
Chorus
The tighter the grip
The more youll resist
Its human nature I suppose
But Id rather be surprised by a kiss
Then under your control
Chorus
Free to come and go
Free to spread their wings
Know that I know
Youll come back to me
Cause love like butterflies are free
Chorus

Woman Goin Crazy On Caroline Street
By: jimmy buffett, steve goodman
1975
Chorus:
Theres a woman goin crazy on caroline street
Stoppin every man that she does meet
Sayin if youll be gentle if youll be sweet
Ill show you my place on caroline street
She claimed in a loud voice to be a dancer
But I dont think shes cut a rug in years
Listens to the jukebox for her answers
Slowly guzzles twenty-five cent beers
Talks about the men shes known and then some
Shes seen them in her dreams and on the street
She slides her dapper legs from beneath the table
As if to reveal some kind of treat
Chorus:
Theres a woman goin crazy on caroline street
Stoppin every man that she does meet
Sayin if youll be gentle if youll be sweet
Ill show you my place on caroline street
Her lover left her stranded in jamaica
Just right now she cant recall his name
Perceiving shes the center of attention
And all the lurking eyes they look the same
Weathers got the shrimpers in a frenzy
Theyre horny and dont need a good excuse
Someone yells and things just start erupting
And in a flash all hell has broken loose
Chorus:
Theres a woman goin crazy on caroline street
Stoppin every man that she does meet
Sayin if youll be gentle if youll be sweet
Ill show you my place on caroline street
(instrumental)
When I woke up and looked around the barroom
She was gone and I was black and blue
So be careful when you go to swing your partner
Someone just might take a swing at you
Chorus:
Theres a woman goin crazy on caroline street
Stoppin every man that she does meet
Sayin if youll be gentle if youll be sweet
Ill show you my place on caroline street
Ya theres a woman goin crazy on caroline street
Stoppin every man that she does meet
Sayin if youll be gentle if youll be sweet
Ill show you my place on caroline street
Theres a woman goin crazy on caroline street
Stoppin every man that she does meet ...

Until It Happens To You
Jeff cook/teddy gentry/ronnie rogers/greg fowler, 3:43
I worry all day and I cant go to sleep at night
Thinking about baby and wondering whos holding her tight tonight
People say Ive been a fool too long, too long
All my friends still ask me why I keep hanging on and on
Chorus:
And I say
Youll never know until it happens to you
Youll never know all that Im going through
Love aint something that flies away
Somebody goes but the feeling stays
And youll never know until it happens to you
Saturdays rollin and everybodys rockin but me
I should go to town but I dont want no company, no, no, no
Friends say I should be out having fun with someone
I know its true but if they only knew its easier said than done
Oh yeah
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Friends say Ive been a fool too long, much too long
They just dont understand why I sit at home all alone by the phone
And I say
Youll never know until it happens to you
Youll never know all that Im going through
Youll never know, oh no
Youll never know, whoa
Youll never know until it happens to you

Baby Your Baby
All you know it all lovers better heed some advice,
If youre bad to your baby, youd better think twice.
Love dont come easy, love aint blind.
Youve got to show her you love her, morning and night,
Be there for her just to make things right.
Make her believe till there aint a doubt in her mind.
Chorus:
Better baby your baby with a love thats strong,
Hold her and tell her youll never do wrong.
Better baby your baby, cause if you dont
One day your babyll be gone.
Dont let her get lonely, dont make her cry,
Dont take her for granted, dont tell her a lie.
Bring her red roses when shes blue.
Give her the best of what youve got to give,
Youll be together as long as you live,
Better baby your baby, shell baby you.

Tennessee Homesick Blues
New york city aint no kind of place
For a country girl with a friendly face
If you smile people look at you funny
They take it wrong
The greenest state in the land of the free
And the home of the grand ole opry
Is calling me back to my smoky mountain home
I wish I had my old fishin pole
And was sitting on the banks of the fishing hole
Eating green apples and waiting for the fish to bite
Life aint as simple as it used to be
Since the big apple took a bite out of me
And lord, Im so tennessee homesick that I could die
Chorus:
But I aint been home in I dont know when
If I had it all to do over again
Tonight Id sleep in my old feather bed
What I wouldnt give for a little bitty taste
Of mamas homemade chocolate cake
Tennessee homesick blues running through my head
Mama you can fluff my feather bed
Just as soon as I can Im gonna head
Back to the tennessee hills and it better be soon
Daddy you can load the rifles up
Were gonna load them dogs on the pickup truck
And take off to calhoun country and catch us a coon
Repeat chorus
Eatin grits and gravy and country ham
Go to church on sunday with dinner on the grounds
Tennessee homesick blues are runnin through my head
Repeat chorus
Good lord have mercy on a country girl
Tryin to make a living in a rhinestone world
Its hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world
With tennessee homesick blues runnin through my head
Ive got those tennessee homesick blues runnin through my head
Tennessee homesick blues

(Don't Go Back To) Rockville (edit)
Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus
Going to a place thats far, so far away and if thats not enough
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
Youll be coming back before too long
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
And waste another year
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I dont care if youre not here with me
Cause its so much easier to handle
All my problems if Im too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or its gonna be too late to bring you back
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
And waste another year
Its not as though I really need you
If you were here Id only bleed you
But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and
Thats not how it ought to be
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
Youll be coming back before too long
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
And waste another year
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
Dont go back to Rockville
And waste another year

Been Here Once Before
Got your back up against the wall
Now you know that after all
When you make mistakes like that
Theres no more turning back
Now weve gone and weve lost our heads
Youre better off just playing dead
Why you wearing that black hat
Theres no point in turning back
I know, I know, I know
That weve been here once before
I know, I know, I know
That weve been here once before
Well all you know is you need to win
Should you go when your call comes in
Once you see all the blood that flows
I dont think youll be winning more
Now I thought that was all in the past
And that beast would come back last
Once again we are at war
Yes I know weve been here before
I know, I know, I know
That weve been here once before...thats for sure
I know, I know, I know
That weve been here once before
And I dont think youll be winning more
Weve been here once before
Weve been here thats for sure
I dont think youll be winning more
Weve been here once before
Weve been here thats for sure
I know, I know, I know
That weve been here once before...thats for sure
I know, I know, I know
That weve been here once before
And I dont think youll be winning more
Weve been here once before
Weve been here thats for sure
I dont think youll be winning more
Weve been here once before
Weve been here thats for sure

Been here once before...

The Other Side
So, youre at the end of your wits
The end of your rope
You just cant fix
Everything thats broke
Got to turn it loose, babe
Hey, just let it ride
Cause it aint about pride now
Well, it aint about guilt
Youve just come to a bridge
That you still aint built
Sit down here with me
Ill tell you about the other side
(chorus)
The other side of loneliness
The other side of the blues
There really is a place like this
Where the sun is gonna shine for you
Youll feel that old restlessness
Your tears have all been cried
Youll find your way over this
And youll make it to the other side
Life gets hard
Life gets cold
No matter who you are
Gonna settle on your soul
There comes a time
When you go looking for a place to hide
But one of these days
Youre gonna lift up your head
Whistle up those hell hounds of yours
And make them sit up and beg
Thats when youll be ready
Ready for the other side
(repeat chorus)

Nah!
I thought I might begin by fillin you in--
In case you didnt already know
Ill never forget how you got up and left
In fact it was downright pretty low
There aint no way I wanna,
You know I aint gonna
Take you back, so dont even try
You can beg, you can plead--
You can sweat, you can bleed
Too bad I could care if you cry
Thats it! (thats all!) we had fun!
(we had a ball!)
It was good while it lasted--
But now Im past it
(it was sure!) it was sweet!
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then,
But would I do it all again--nah--
[chorus:]
You wont find me
Naked and cold justa sittin
On the doctors table
Witin to be told justa why
Im no longer able
To feel my heart beatin--
Give me a good reason why!
I kinda went numb just around
About the time you told me
You were movin on, and you
Said that you were gonna phone me
Its been so long, and there
Aint nothin wrong with the line
Its too late to regret it,
But youre the one who said it
Were better off being apart
I hate to be a downer,
But dont bother comin round here
cause I wont have a change of heart
Thats it! (thats all!) we had fun!
(we had a ball!)
It was good while it lasted--
But now Im past it
(it was sure!) it was sweet!
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then,
But would I do it again--nah--
[repeat chorus]
Nah...
Well, I hope you learned a lesson,
cause youll never be messin
With my head again the way that you did
It was never gonna work; you were
Too much of a jerk
Im finally fed up with it
Thats it! (thats all!) we had fun!
(we had a ball!)
It was good while it lasted--
But now Im past it
(it was sure!) it was sweet!
Sure you swept me off my feet
I miss you now and then,
But would I do it all again--nah--

Take This Heart
Ive been where you are before
No one understands it more
You fear every step you take
So sure that your heart will break
Its not how the story ends
Youll be back on your feet again
Baby, this time
There aint nothing gonna take this heart away
No more goodbyes
There aint nothing gonna take my heart away
The pains still alive in you
For what one man put you through
You say that were all the same
But Im called by no other name
We all need a place to run
Wont you let me be the one

Dont keep the dream in you locked outside your door
Just believe in this love
And dont be afraid anymore

Ive waited for you too long

Dont Want You Back
(max martin)
You hit me faster than a shark attack
You saw my picture
On the backstreets back, all right
And you were more than just a pretty face
But how you fooled me, Im still amazed baby
But I should have known that I would be
Another victim of your sexuality
But now were done and over with
I dont want you back
Chorus
Dont want you back
cause youre no good for me
I know
Thats all I can say
Dont want you back
Forgive my honesty but you gotta go
I dont want you back
You started going out with so-called friends
But I was blind and so I lost all common sense
But there were things that made me realise
Like all the hundred no, thousand lies
Chorus
Baby, dont bother telling me your reasons why
Just let us sing this story bout you and i
Dont want you back
Thats all I know
Dont want you back

Just a sittin and a rockin
If I had been scheming
Instead of just dreaming
Hed never have left me
Just a sittin and a rockin
Sittin all day without holding my baby
Makes me so blue and sad
If he dont hurry and come back
Its a cinch to drive me mad
Now if I dont find him
I hope youll remind him
That Im staying where he left me
Just a sittin and a rockin

Sittin all day without holding my baby

If he dont hurry and come back
