Waiting For The Punchline
You might say hey, I lost my sense of humor
Im quite surprised I didnt lose it sooner
Why waste your breath on anything less
Then talk so trivial
As a man who ran out of material
Chorus:
Why did the chicken go across the road
To get to the other side
Im still waiting for the punchline
Whoever said the grass always grows
Greener on the other lied
Im still waiting for the punchline
The good ol days I was known to wear a smile
Like all good things theyve gone out of style
I will admit, usually a quick wit
I found bemusing
What used to be, no longer are amusing
Chorus:
Its nothing that you said,
No nothing that you did
Must have been a bad joke,
Thats gone over my head
What me worry, another tragedy
The latter plus time, equals comedy
Why cant I get to the other side

For Every Corner
I'll take your side and I'll take you into town
And there you'll search around
You hope she must be waiting now
Found what you need don't push her too far
Don't ever let her see you down
I hope she's waiting now
It's not that she has been around too long to never try
Too Long to never try
For every corner there's a way out
And every day that you lose there's a pay out, there's a pay out
And if she cries you know it will be fine
With things now on your side don't frown
She is waiting now
But if she sings, then she's taken all you bring
To her you mean all things you Smile
She's waiting now
It's not that she has been around too long to never try
Too Long to never try
Repeat Chorus
But don't you think the time will come when you'll get in her way
Or she'll bring you down the same

I'll Be Waiting
Can't you see
You mean everything to me
You're in my heart
You've touched my soul
You're all I'll ever need
And it hurts so bad
Not to have you by my side
Nothing's right; I cry all night
Just waiting for your call
[CHORUS]
I'll be waiting for you till the sun don't shine
I will wish on a star to make you mine
I'll be dreaming all night that you're by my side
I'll be waiting for you
Said I'll be waiting for you till the end of time
Can't you see that I need you in my life
You're all that I want; I can't deny
I'll be waiting for you
(I'll be waiting for you...)
Love is hard
When the days can seem so far
We were both inseparable
And now we're torn apart
I refuse to try again
To love to someone new
Cuz what we shared was heavenly
Like a rose that's in full bloom
[CHORUS]
(I'll be waiting for you...)
You make me so happy
I never thought I'd lose you
You're love was and still is
The only thing I run to
[CHORUS]
Every minute of every hour
You know I'll be waiting for you

Green
Sometime ago we broke up for no reason I know
Why do I have this feeling youre still in control
Im confused like Im used to whenever Im in trouble again
But this time I have to grow up and learn to decide
The grass is greener on your side
It was always greener on your side
It will always be greener on your side
Im way too nervous to be patient right now
Why do I have this feeling Im not in control
The price that I pay for in my almost obsessive devotion you see
Is much higher than I would ever expect it to be
The grass is greener on your side
It was always greener on your side
It will always be greener on your side
It will always be greener on your side x5
The grass is greener on your side
It was always greener on your side
It will always be greener on your side

Head On Collison
Ive been waiting for a good day
Ive been holding back long enough
Ive been hurting to tell you some things
Its not the falling of the temperature
Thats making all our bones run cool
Its the breeze you make
The presence felt when youre around me
And it feels like Im at an all-time low
Slightly bruised and broken
From our head on collision
Ive never seen this side of you
Another tragic case of feeling
Bruised and broken
From our head on collision
Ive never seen this side of you
Another tragic case
And Im still waiting for a good day
I think Ive held this long enough
I think its safe to tell you some things

And its not the way you look at me

And it feels like Im at an all-time low

Soul
Hang out my window and over your head
Stare at your feelings to see where they end
Youre waiting here for someone else to break you from the inside
Youve been so composed
[chorus]
We all know theres always something tearing you apart
Its always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder then you thought
But you dont worry, you dont worry
Cause youve got soul
Youre so heavy, youre so misunderstood
And I spent all my wishes wishing times were good
When I still could
Wait around here for someone else to take me past the good side
Youve been here so longer
[chorus]
We all know theres always something tearing you apart
Its always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder then you thought
But you dont worry, you dont worry
Cause darling, youve got so much soul
Darling, youve got so much soul
[chorus]
Well, theres always something tearing you apart
Its always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder then you thought
Then you ever thought it would
But you dont worry, and you dont worry
Cause you dont worry, you dont worry
Cause you dont worry, you dont worry
Cause youve got soul

Slander
Maybe I shouldnt have said it of course
I was too quick to judge
Words swiftly spoken may be unrefined
I didnt know optimism was a crime
Hey I have got enough problems
Dont need extra baggage from you pointless games and taxing headtrips unfortunate side effects of your friendship
I may have slipped wont happen again my legs are beneath me now
For the last time cut down from behind
I will be ready next time
Its no big deal
Ive gotten used to being let down
I just didnt think that
I would ever be let down by you
Your antics are always expected
Passed off as being your nature
Get away with murder cause youre just being you
A modern day version of shakespeares licensed fool
Not to say that Im not guilty
Emotions get the best of me
Quick to fight a nasty habit
Cant keep my cool if I never had it
I had so much faith in you til I saw your true colors bleeding through
Youre a joke that I dont get with a punchline
Im trying hard to forget
I dont want to carry the burden
Of holding this grudge any longer
What to do, do I made amends?
Or discard this joker from my deck of friends?
Slander you said it I heard it
But you know I never deserved it
So locked to you the world in my head I know I should have never let you in

Someone Like You
(bob mcdill/dickey lee)
Others have touched me
Soft in the night
Others have kissed me
And held me tight
Good times and lovers
Yes, Ive had a few
But I was just waiting
For someone like you
I have been lonely
And I have been loved
Ive grown used to losing
What Im fondest of
I can see clearly now
My whole life through
I was just waiting
For someone like you
But I never wasted
A minute of my time
Every road I ever took
Led me to your side
No, I never wasted
A minute of my time
Every road I ever took
Led me to your side
Dont it seem funny, love
That I never knew
I was just waiting
For someone like you
I was just waiting
I was just waiting
For someone like you

Will He Be Waiting For Me
I can still see that lonesome road stretched out before me
The road that led me out of his life
I can still feel the tears he cried on my shoulder
The day that I told him good-bye
I never shoulda left him
Never shoulda gone
Oh what a crazy fool Ive been
Chorus:
Will he be waiting for me
He will be, wont he
And will he take me back again
2nd chorus:
He will be waiting for me
He will be, wont he
Or could it be his love for me has faded and has died
He will be waiting for me
He will be, wont he
Or will I find that this time
Ill be the one to cry
Shadows from the trees
Shade the path that I am walkin
As I make my way back up that windy road again
The smell of mountain laurel fills the air with sweet perfume
My heart beats faster as I near my journeys end
I wonder if he missed me
Wonder if he wants me
I wonder does he love me still
Will he be waiting for me
He will be, wont he
Oh how I hope he will
Repeat 2nd chorus twice

Ill Be Around
Words & music: michael w. smith and bob farrell
Hey boy - did you find out
Whatcha had to know - n what its all about
When you started to move - just a step at a time
You never wanted to fall
You took a chance on the wild side
Hey, girl - cantcha come down
Are ya way at the top - afraid of somethin you found
Then you try to go back - not as easy to do
Did you find who you are
From a dance on the wild side
I know sometimes its hard for you
To keep your feet upon the path that youve chosen
Its not for you to walk alone
Together we can take this road where its going - hang on
Chorus 1:
Stand by me - stand right here
The time has come to say it clear
Now dont give up - but dont give in
We will stand together to the end
And Ill be around - Ill be around, yeah
No joke - the sooner you find
It happens all the same - for every mothers child
When you walk in the dark - then you stumble and fall
Its a part of it all
When we dance on the wild side
But everybody needs someone
Who loves em through the toughest times - while theyre growing - yah
Who keeps a candle burning
When the darkness covers up the path where theyre going - hang on
Chorus 2:
Stand by me - stand right here
The time has come to say it clear
Now dont give up - dont give in
We will stand together to the end
And Ill be around - come what may
Heaven hears us when we pray
So dont give up - but dont give in
We will stand together to the end
I will be there, my good friend
And Ill be around
Be around, Ill be around...
Ill walk this road with you
Wherever it may wind
And Ill be around
Chorus 2

Forever
Thinking back, those long summer days
Young and not afraid
Did what we wanted to
Broke some hearts, didnt think Id ever start
To get tired of the part
Thats when I pictured you
Met a face, already knew so well
It was easy to tell
That you knew me too
Spent our time, laughing all the while
I made you lose your smile
Now Im losing you
(pre-chorus)
Is it too late
cause just like before
Ill be knocking at your door
(chorus)
Cant take the pain away from you
And theres nothing I can do
Until you let me through
Without you theres nothing left for me
Oh baby cant you see
Together we will be, forever
Times have changed, some are good and some are bad
The future that we have
Cant be all a dream
Nights that we would find, when we nearly lost our minds
Now could we ever be so blind
cause we were meant to be

Lachlan Side
REGION of damper and junk and tea,
Region of pastures wide!
The fairest spots in the world to me
Are out on the Lachlan Side.
CHORUS:
I’m off to the Lachlan Side,
Where the bright lagoons are wide;
I long for river and grass and tree,
And someone dearer than all to me,
Far out on the Lachlan Side.
My heart was hardened against advice
And reason I would not see,
For by the ocean a paradise
The city appeared to me.
CHORUS:
I’m off to the Lachlan Side, etc.
“Not I for a bumpkin’s fate,” I cried,
“I’ll not be a country clown!
A life’s too slow on the Lachlan Side;
I’ll go to the shining town!”
CHORUS:
I’m off to the Lachlan Side, etc.
I’ve lost the battle, I strike the flag,
The town may sink in the tide;
A wiser head and a lighter swag
I take to the Lachlan Side.
CHORUS:
I’m off to the Lachlan Side, etc.
When crops of wool on the plains shall grow,
Shall flourish in drought or rain,
And when the shearers begin to mow
I’ll come to the town again.
CHORUS:
I’m off to the Lachlan Side, etc.
But now I go to a kinder fate,
If her love still conquers pride;
Her heart was true when she sobbed, “I’ll wait
For you on the Lachlan Side.”
CHORUS:
I’m off to the Lachlan Side,
Where the bright lagoons are wide;
I long for river and grass and tree,
And someone dearer than all to me,
Far out on the Lachlan Side.

I Dont Want To Lose You
You left this morning on an early plane
You left your picture behind to haunt me
You left in a steady rain
You say youll miss me, say you want me
Im left this mornin with a world of doubt
Im left this mornin indecently exposed
So much we never did talk about
And your kiss goodbye, said the case is closed
(chorus)
I dont want to lose you
I dont want to lose the best love that Ive ever found
Dont want to lose you
Why didnt I cry when you said goodbye
Why didnt I break down, break down and say
I dont want to lose you
We met last night in a public place
And your new lover was just across the street
But tears washed across your face
Girl I wanted to, hold you close to me
I dont want to lose you
I dont want to lose the best love that Ive ever found
Dont want to lose you
Why didnt I cry when you said goodbye
Why didnt I break down, break down
I remember all the things that we did
The warmth of your smile
And your tender touch
I always knew I cared about you girl
I just didnt know how much

The Good Fight
By: jimmy buffett, j.d. souther
1980
To muhammed ali for twenty years of excitement and entertainment
They talk about their women too much
The women got em so confused
They dont talk about their lives as such
My life is all I got to lose
You take it with a grain of salt
And laugh at the complexities
Theyre good at pickin all the faults
I keep laughin so they dont pick me
Chorus:
Jesus if I had to quit tonight
Id never know if I was wrong or right
But thats just what you get
You got to go the distance
If you want to fight a good fight
Good fight
Keep it up and keep a good fight
Good fight
The telephone begins to ring
That could only be one call
I might as well be on the moon
Standin in the shower stall
Cant believe she picked it up
She didnt know the rules somehow
Then I hear her say hello (hello)
Panic in the grey room now
Chorus:
Jesus if I had to quit tonight
Shed kill me whether I was wrong or right
Thats just what you get
You got to go the distance
If you want to fight a good fight
Good fight
Keep it up and keep a good fight
Good fight
You never know until you try
Its hard to see the side youre on
Some people say Im halfway here
Some people say Im halfway gone
Chorus:
Jesus if I had to quit tonight
Id never know if I was wrong or right
But thats just what you get
You got to go the distance
If you want to fight a good fight
Good fight
Keep it up and keep a good fight
Good fight
All I want is just a good fight
Good fight
Yes its got to be a good fight
Good fight

Chattahoochee
I got a room where I can breathe
I got a view no one else can see
Everybody here knows just what's right for me
Don't have to worry, the Doctor's always in
I'm never lonely, I'm here with all my friends
Chorus:
In Chattahoochee, I'm not crazy
Chattahoochee, I'm just lazy
Chattahoochee, Found my home
In Chattahoochee.
Out on the outside they sweat to pay the rent
While we play cards, they say we ain't got no sense
They think they have a good time
Blowin' somethin' up their nose
Their corporate ladder can kill you it's so high
While it's a party, here on the other side
Chorus
Who's to say who's crazy, It's easy to see
All you gotta do is turn on your T.V.
All the people on the outside tryin' to be someone else
I'm havin' fun here just bein' myself, in Chattahoochee.
They brought me here and said,"You're so dangerous to youself"
But I ain't the one here 'bout to blow us all to hell
Just here to have a good time, let me know how it goes
Don't have to worry, the Doctor's always in
I'd rather be here with all of my friends

Im of the mind to make some mookie.
Phonebook...
The phone rings, its vicki callin
She wants me 2 come 2 the crib
She says conversations better than being lonely
So I try my best to ad lib
I told the joke about the woman
Who asked her lover why is your organ so small?
He replied I didnt know I was playin in a cathedral.
Vicki didnt laugh at all.

This is where she wants 2 be
I am what she wants 2 see
I never known a love so sweet

Alright
All is well in gotham city
The sound of terror is all u hear
Sometimes a pistol takes the place of her body
Sometimes her bodys here
But u see when crime is your only love
All that matter is the present, the here and now
People, people, whatever floats this jokers boat
Is whatever this joker will bang
Chorus
Oh yeah
Talk of children still frightens me
Is my character enough 2 be
One that deserves a copy made?
This I one day, hope 2 see
Until then shes held at bay
By my animal-like persistence
Or maybe shes just 2 proud 2 say
That fate (fate) brought us together
And this is where she wants 2 stay

All is well in gotham town

What good is it..
for a man to, gain the world..
yet lose his own soul, in the process?
[Bell] God loves you, yes he does
Said you're alright with him
[DMX] I wonder..
Chorus: Regina Bell (repeat 2X)
I know you never seen him but don't fight with him
You're gonna make it through the night to the light with him
Uhh, you're alright with him
I said you're alright with him
[DMX]
I'm callin out to you Lord, because I need your help
See once again I'm havin difficulty savin myself
behavin myself, you told me what to do, and I do it
But every and now and then, gets a little harder to go through it
Losin friends, day by day
I'm in so much pain when I'm here Lord, please take me away
I put you here to do a job, and your work ain't done
To live is to suffer, but you're still my son
And there will be a time when you shine as bright as the stars
But there won't be a, his or hers, just ours
Then you'll see what I've been tryin to show you, all these years
Do the right thing; cause after the tears, come the cheers
I will, my Lord, with my heart, and my soul
That's gonna be how I roll, from now until I'm old
Lead and I'll follow, you take away the sorrow
I'ma sleep on what you said and holla back tomorrow
Chorus
[DMX]
I want you to know Lord, that for what you've given me I'm thankful
Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, I'm grateful
You gave us power in our words, so I think before I speak
And that way when I speak, they know I'm here to teach
Can't tell em nothin wrong, cause I love em too much
I reach a lot of people, and Lord, I'm lovin the touch
But deep inside, I've got somethin that's workin against
everything I know is right, what I know makes sense
That's when you must fight harder, than you've ever fought before
cause what you've got goin on inside you is a war
between good and evil, be careful of those who wanna be you
They smile, but are not really happy when they see you
Be careful of the ones that always wanna get you high
Cause when the time comes, that one'll let you die
Listen to me! I'm here, but I can only help you
if you want me to help, what do you want for yourself?
Chorus
[DMX]
My Lord, my saviour, don't judge my behaviour
but instead, take what's in my heart and put it in my head
See I guess I really never knew, how proud I made you
My life is yours, my soul I gave you
I don't know if I'll do good enough (he's by your side)
And we both know the hood is rough (right by your side)
Sometimes I don't know what to do (X, dry your eyes)
But I know what I gotta do (it'll be alright)
You keep givin me the word, and I'll put it to song
Talk to me, I'll talk to them, and we can't go wrong
This is the start of somethin strong, and this is just the start of it
Praises to you my Lord, for lettin me be a part of it
I was that kid that, been there, did that
Became ashamed so I hid that
But, ain't no longer with that
Use me as an example - if I can do, then they can too
With the Lord behind us, there ain't nothin that we can't do
Chorus
[Regina Bell]
He's by your side
Right by your side
X, dry your eyes
cause it'll be alright
Yeah, he's by your side
Right by your side
X, dry your eyes
Cause, it'ssssssssss gonna be alright
Yeah yeah, yes it isssssssssss

Hello Tomorrow
Hello tomorrow and good-bye to yesterday
We've been waiting for this moment
And we still don't know what to say
We may never find the answers or know the reason why
Why we both decided we should say good-bye
Nothing but good things are coming my way
If you are going please let me stay
You bring me down when I'm getting high
You turn me on I amplify
1 -2-3 times you've broken me (Broken Me)
I won't bleed like this forever
I'm down to ride but my wings are severed
Blindside blitz- evacuation
I'm stuck in hell your on vacation
1-2-3 times you've broken me (Broken Me)
I've been waiting
Waiting for the day
I've been waiting
Waiting for the day
I'm still waiting for tomorrow
Tired of living in yesterday
I've been waiting
Waiting for the day I'd be over you
Oceans, devotions, these notions run dry
Floating away and I don't know why
Spend all my days in a bottle thinking
You're like an anchor got me sinking
1-2-3 times you've broken me (broken me)
Say good-bye now and mean it forever
Got to move on and keep it together
Forget the things that you've said and you've done
That's in the past, here comes the sun
1-2-3 times you've broken me (broken me)
Repeat Chorus

Chicken (Fun Poem 23)
We have all heard it asked
why did the chicken cross the road?
The answer is so simple;
the poor old chicken had BO.
The other chickens pointed a wing and said, “Go.”
So off he trotted in despair,
and crossed the road without a care,
because on the other side,
the grass was greener there.

Feet On The Rock
(Spoken)
Well, I wanna talk to you for a minute,
About an old man I met,
He said, Boy, you look in trouble,
And I bet your life's a mess,
He said, I used to have the same problem too,
I was way out of control,
You know the only thing that set it right for me,
Was a little good old rock and roll,
Chorus: (Sang)
I put my feet on the rock,
And my name on the roll,
When it's called up yonder,
I won't worry 'bout my soul,
I know my home is waiting,
And it's something to behold,
I put my feet on the rock,
And my name on the roll,
I'd never heard the gosple,
Spread like that before,
I guess the message comes in many ways,
Those simple words of wisdom,
Can open heaven's door,
So every time I get the chance I say,
Chorus:
Come on, put your feet on the rock,
And your name on the roll,
When it's called up yonder,
You won't worry 'bout your soul,
You know your home is waiting,
And it's something to behold,
So put your feet on the rock,
And your name on the roll
--- Instrumental ---
Chorus:
Come on, put your feet on the rock,
And your name on the roll,
When it's called up yonder,
You won't worry 'bout your soul,
Well, You know your home is waiting,
And it's something to behold,
So put your feet on the rock,
And your name on the roll
Chorus:
Come on, put your feet on the rock,
And your name on the roll,
When it's called up yonder,
You won't worry 'bout your soul,
You know your home is waiting,
