Country Road
Saw you turnin down main street in your big, black fancy car
You were dressed up fit to kill, with a pretty girl on your arm
You spun around and you headed up town
Where the neon lights all shine
Left me choking in a cloud of dust
You never pay me no mind
Chorus:
Youre livin in the fast lane
I guess Im just too slow
I never wore silk or fancy furs
Just plain ole calico
Ill never be a fast lane lover
And theyre the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road
That you keep turnin down
If you ever hit a dead end street
If its love that youre looking for
You can always turn around
And beat a path right to my door
Do I have to draw you a map
You seem to know your way around
So when youre tired of spinnin your wheels
Baby, we can go to town
Repeat chorus
Ill never be a fast lane lover
And theyre the only kind you take up town
I am just a country road
That you keep turnin down
I am just a country road
That you keep turnin down
Repeat chorus

Baby Better Start Turnin em Down
(rodney crowell)
In this modern world were livin
The rules aint like theyve ever been
Speakin of spreading it thin
Thats what you do, flashing your soul
That aint no way to treat your lover
Aint no way to act with feelings
Baby, better start turnin em down
Now its a brave new wave were roarin in
Hanging out, out on the rock n roll fringe
Speaking of running around
All over town, lettin it show
That aint no way to treat your lover
Aint no way to act in public
Baby, dont better start turnin em down, start to turnin down
Sure is clear aint nothin easy any more
Sure gets cloudy when I look in all directions
Sure is rainin like this feeling in my heart
Sure is crazy how youre acting
In this latest craze or current trend
Burnin money every way that you can
Speakin of goin for broke
Thats how it is and lettin it slow
That aint no way to treat your lover
Aint no way to act with strangers
Baby, youd better start turnin em down, start to turnin down
Baby, better start turnin

Butt Town
The cops are well-groomed, with
Muscled physiques in butt town
Their tan uniforms are tailored in chic
In butt town
Any young black male who walks down the street
Is gonna get stopped by a car full of meat
But the girl with the hair
Flies by in her underwear-
Shes done nothing so far to deserve that car
When you live in butt town
You gotta get down
But in butt town Im learnin
In butt town Im earnin
In butt town Im turnin
Into my worst nightmare
Im tellin you, its a motley crew in butt town
Monday youre new, and friday youre through
In butt town
The producer is wily, and owns what he sells
The talent is eager to go straight to hell
Th tits are amazing, and everyones gazing
At some body part-
Thats the nature of art in butt town
All over butt town dreams have a show down
All over butt town values are thrown down
But in butt town Im learnin
In butt town Im earnin
In butt town Im turnin
Into my worst nightmare
In butt town baby
Im gonna be a star
Im gonna shake my butt far
Now here we go
Im gonna shake my butt
Shake my butt shake my butt
In butt town

Tossin & Turnin
I couldnt sleep at all last night
Just a-thinkin bout you
Baby, things werent right
cause I was
Tossin and turnin, turnin and tossin
Tossin and turnin, tossin and turnin all night
I kicked the blankets on the floor
Turned my pillow upside down
I never felt this way before
cause I was
Tossin and turnin, turnin and tossin
Tossin and turnin, tossin and turnin all night
Jumped out of bed, turned on the lights
Pulled down the shade, went to the kitchen for a bite
Rolled up the shade, turned down the lights
I jumped back in the bed, was the middle of the night
The clock downstairs was strikin three
Couldnt get you off my mind
I heard the milkman on the street
cause I was
Tossin and turnin, turnin and tossin
Tossin and turnin, tossin and turnin all night
Jumped out of bed, turned on the lights
Pulled down the shade, went to the kitchen for a bite
Rolled up the shade, turned down the lights
Jumped back in the bed, was the middle of the night
The clock downstairs was strikin three
Couldnt get you off my mind
I heard the milkman on the street
cause I was
Tossin and turnin, turnin and tossin
Tossin and turnin, tossin and turnin all night
Tossin and turnin (tossin and turnin)
Tossin and turnin (tossin and turnin)
Turnin and tossin (turnin and tossin)
Tossin and turnin (tossin and turnin)
Tossin and turnin (tossin and turnin)

On The Beach
The world is turnin, I hope it dont turn away,
The world is turnin, I hope it dont turn away.
All my pictures are fallin from the wall where I placed them yesterday.
The world is turnin, I hope it dont turn away.
I need a crowd of people, but I cant face them day to day,
I need a crowd of people, but I cant face them day to day.
Though my problems are meaningless, that dont make them go away.
I need a crowd of people, but I cant face them day to day.
I went to the radio interview, but I ended up alone at the microphone,
I went to the radio interview, but I ended up alone at the microphone.
Now Im livin out here on the beach, but those seagulls are still out of reach.
I went to the radio interview, but I ended up alone at the microphone.
Get out of town, think Ill get out of town,
Get out of town, think Ill get out of town.
I head for the sticks with my bus and friends,
I follow the road, though I dont know where it ends.
Get out of town, get out of town, think Ill get out of town.
cause the world is turnin, I dont want to see it turn away.

Plain Jane Country
(eddie raven)
I read your letter just this morning
The first you've wrote since you've been gone
You've finally found yourself a home
You've bought a new car, a great big red one
With a top that rolls right down
You must be something in san fransisco
A dressed up, painted country clown
You're fakin' it well, but it's easy to tell
You're plain jane country come to town
The pace is too fast and you're out of your class
You're plain jane country come to town
You know i love you, at least you ought to
I've loved you all of my livin' days
You got no business makin' changes
Yeah girl, i love your country ways
Go sell that red car, catch an airplane
And i'll be waiting when you land
Yeah, get a white dress, find a preacher
We'll get some rings to fit your hand
You're fakin' it well, but it's easy to tell
You're plain jane country come to town
The pace is too fast and you're out of your class
You're plain jane country come to town
You're plain jane country come to town
You're plain jane country come to town

Walkin' The Country
Runnin' from the rate race
Just as fast as I can
Take off my tie so I can breathe
Me, I'm going where the fresh air's blowin'
Take a little walk in the country with me
(Chorus)
Walk in the country with me
Watch the sun sinkin' down on the trees
It's gonna do us some good
To get down in the woods
Take a little walk in the country with me
I'm so sick of all them TV shows
I need some dirt road under my feet
C'mon let's point our toes where the red fern grows
Take a little walk in the country with me
Come on now

Oh bless my soul

Lovable
(chorus)
Its going round the town
Its going round the town
Its going round the town
Youre so lovable
My baby gave me notice to quit
I just cant get used to it
She broke my little heart in two
Now somebody else is being the same old you
(chorus)
My baby has egyptian eyes
And a wicked look beyond compare
If you thought I was a fool for you
Then I must be a bigger fool for her
(chorus)
Hed turn the flowers of springtime into a wreath
He says hed love you eternally
I say please please cant you keep it brief
They say theyre going to bury you
Because youre so lovable
Put your money where your mouth was
Youre so lovable
Each tender mumble brings us closer to bedlam
Youre so lovable
The toast of the town and the talk of the bedroom
Youre so lovable
Youre so sweet
Youre so honest
You say 'Ill be true to you boy
But I wont promise
Then you say you love me
Then you show me
As you lie there so lifelike below me

Turnin' To You
I've been chained like a fool,
Just listen to me.

Could be so fine.

And I knew by that look I was in for a ride.

Wheels Are Turnin
Ive been sittin back quietly,
Watchin as my spirit fades.
As all of my attempts to do rightly
Get treated like some kind of terrorist raids.
Maybe I ask too much from you
Well I aint gettin too much in return.
Im doin my best to love you baby,
But the wheels are beginning to turn.
When youre cut down to the bone.
You bleed but it heals.
You hurt still you must carry on.
cus the wheels are turnin -- the feelings burnin
The thrills returnin
My soul is yearnin -- my heart is churnin
The wheels are turnin again.
Maybe Im actin irrational
Hope I dont hurt your heart
This whole problem is only geographical
I just need some kind of new start.
And if I cant get inspired round here,
Im going out to the world and learn.
Theres action in my soul tonight.
I feel the wheels are beginning to turn.
When youre cut down to the bone.
You bleed but it heals.
You hurt still you must carry on.
cus the wheels are turnin -- the feelings burnin
The thrills returnin
My soul is yearnin -- my heart is churnin
The wheels are turnin again.
I remember the last time I got on one of these rolls.
I learned all about the tolls that it takes.
I get something in my mind -- it begins to unfold
I get out in the cold -- I cant do what Im told
I get out of control -- I cant hold on to the brakes
When youre cut down to the bone.
You bleed but it heals.
You hurt still you must carry on.
cus the wheels are turnin -- the feelings burnin
The thrills returnin
My soul is yearnin -- my heart is churnin
The wheels are turnin again.

Turning Around
By: jimmy buffett
Sometimes I feel like a propeller
Spin spin out of control
I dont know whos up on the throttle
Oh I wish theyd let it go.
All I ever do is get dizzy
Thinkin thinkin things left undone
Been stuck here so long now Im zero
Id just like to make it to one
Chorus:
Turnin around
Heros and clown(s)
Holdin my ground
Oh Ive been down
Im turnin around
Turnin around
Lost til were found
Holdin our ground
Oh Ive been down
Im turnin around
Sometimes I get lost in daydreamin
Sleep sleep my life away
I know in my heart Im a sailor
And my ship is on the way
There never is an end to believers
Lookin lookin for the right sign
If everything will just keep on turnin
All that I want will be mine.
Chorus:
Turning around
Heros and clown(s)
Holdin my ground
Oh Ive been down
Im turnin around
Turnin around

Life In The Fast Line
He was a hard headed man
He was brutally handsome and she was teminally pretty
She held him up and he held her for ransome in the heart
of the cold cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless they said he was crude
They had one thing in common they were
good in bed
She'd say 'Faster faster. The lights are turnin' red."
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind, mm
Are you with me so far?
Eager for action and bot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people, they took
all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavily bills.
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up
in the race
Out every evening, until it was light
He was too tired to make it, she was too tired
to fight about it
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lse your mind
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh huh
Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign,
took a turn for the worst.
She said, "Listen, baby.You can hear the engine
ring.We've been up and down this highway;
haven't seen a goddam thing."
He said,"Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash."
"The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash."
They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around
and got lost
They didn't know they were just dyin' to get off
And it was life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane

Love Will Turn You Around
You can run you can hide never let it inside
Keep livin your life in the dark
But sooner or later that gentle persuader
Is gonna catch up with your heart
Make you a dreamer, believer
Believin in love
Right when a mans doin all that he planned
And he thinks hes got just what he needs
Life will deliver a shock that will shiver
And drivin him down to his knees
Make him start givin, livin
Livin again
CHORUS:
Well, its your mind, that tricks you in believin every time
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Well, its your heart, that talks you into to stayin where you are
Love will turn you around, turn you around
Out of the blue she reaches for you
And you tell her you dont have the time
So you move away fast but you know it wont last
Cause you cant get her off of your mind
Thoughts are burnin, turnin
Theyre turnin around
How do you know when to stay or to go
And how do you know when its real
You dont need a sign to make up your mind
You got your heart at the wheel
You wanna start sharin, carin
Carin again

Love will turn you around, turn you around
Love will turn you around, turn you around

Cryin Every Day
I wasnt born to be alone that was a lesson I was shown
To know that love was just a lie
I ran away to think it over
But its over and I try to take a stand on what is real
Someone has shown me how to feel
Im like a shadow in the night
Im like a river in an ocean
Im a flame without a light
And now Im cryin evry day
And Ive been cryin evry day
And I been think of your love
I keep turnin I keep turnin
I keep turnin I keep turnin
Well your love is a cathedral and I came down here to pray
And now Im cryin evry day
Can there be any wonder why to be living under
Love is a revelation only few can share
I could be a mountain strong but the pain about you
Long as I live without you
I would still be there
I wanna die, die away
Never love,never cry
And I been walkin in the rain
And I been hangin on a dream
All the faces and the places that our love has ever been
Now Im cryin evry day
And I been cryin evry day
And I been thinkin of your love
I keep turnin , I keep turnin
I keep turning, I keep turnin
Well your love is a cathedral and I came down here to pray
And now Im cryin evry day
Can there be any wonder why to be living under
Love is a revelation only few can share
I could be a mountain strong but the pain about you
Long as I live without you I would still be there
I wanna die, die away
Never love, never cry
I wasnt born to be a fool but Im a fool to be around
Im a man without a country Im a king without a crown
And then youre throwin me away
Another world , another time
But if anyone belongs to anybody you were mine
And Im cryin evry day
And I been cryin evry day
And Ive been thinkin of your love
I keep turnin I keep turnin
I keep turnin I keep turning
Well your love is a cathedral and I came down here to pray
And now Im ...

White Town
Its midnight down in sector two
Little girl walkin dressed in innocence and cool
Only fourteen and dressed up for the score
Hold that breath now boy, he(? )
She dances, baby, to the beat
Of breaking glass and running feet
Down in white town
Down in white town
Down in white town
Oh, she comes home from work and grabs something to eat
Turn the corner and walks down her street
In a row of houses, chic, shiny and dirty and grey
Disappears like the scenery in another mans play
And as she dances, oh, to the beat
Oh the trooper stickin dresses for the number on the sheet
Down in white town
Down in white town
Down in white town
Down in white town
Yeah, mr. outside, youre walkin so free
If you turn your eyes so you dont see
You act like youre the hand turns the key
And you become the hand that turns the key
And no matter how I try I cannot understand
The way that they will turn a man
Into a stranger in his own land
Down in white town

Do It Again

In the mornin you go gunnin
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isnt hangin
So they put you on the street
Chorus:
You go back, jack
Do it again
Wheel turnin round and round
You go back, jack
Do it again
When you know shes no climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer
And youre sure youre near the end
Then you love a little wild one
And she brings you only sorrow
And all the time you know shes smilin
Youll be the one on your knees tomorrow
Chorus:
Du gehst back, back
Do it again
Wheels turnin round and round
Du gehst back, back
Do it again
Now your swear and kick and beg us
That youre not a gambling man
Then you find youre back in vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money
So you hide them when youre able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table
You go back, jack
Do it again
Das rad umschliesst den kreis
Und du gehst back, back
Do it again

Well now baby used to stay all night long, made me cry, Lord she done me wrong.
Hurt my eyes open, and that's no lie, tables turnin', now it's her turn to cry,
Cuz I used to love her, but it's all over now.
Well I used to wake up in the morning, get my breakfast in bed,
When I got worried, you know she eased my achin' head,
But now she's here and there with every man in town'
Still tryin' to take for that same old clown.
Cuz I used to love her, but it's all over now.
Well she used to run around with every man in town,
Spend all my money, Lord I better pass "go",
Put me out, it was a pity how I cried, table's turnin', now it's her turn to cry,
Cuz I used to love her, but it's all over now.
Yes and I used to love her, but it's all over now

My body trembles with each touch of your hand
