Countin The Cows Every Day
Countin the cows every day
By: jimmy buffett
1975
Oh Im just a cowboy, an old hired hand
Never seen nothin majestic or grand
I just received a great big tax return
Now Im off to las vegas with money to burn
Its been a while since I last left this town
Bought a new suit and Im nevada bound
Gonna make it, gonna break it, Ive been there before
Nothins gone wrong, this towns such a bore
Chorus:
Aw, the train leaves at seven, all go to heaven
Nothin here to make me stay
cause that las vegas glitter sure beats kitty litter
Countin the cows every day
Chorus:
Yeah, the train leaves at seven, on up to heaven
Nothin here to make me stay
cause that las vegas glitter sure beats kitty litter
Countin the cows every day
And countin the cows every day

Makin Music For Money
By: alex harvey
1974
When I woke up this mornin
I was tired as I could be
I think I was countin my money
When I should a been countin sheep
My agent he just called me
And told me what I should be
If I would make my music for money
Instead of makin music for me
Chorus:
I said, I know that this may sound funny
But money dont mean nothin to me
I wont make my music for money
No, Im gonna make my music for me
He said, the people only buy the love songs
Rock n roll and not too long
He said, son you got to be commercial
If you want to turn the people on
And I said, turnin on the people
Now thats a beautiful place to be
But if I spend my time makin them up a rhyme
Well, whos gonna turn on me?
Repeat chorus:
Well now I went up to country
And Ill tell you all about the scene
I found a place with much charm and much grace
That wasnt touched by the music machine
Whoa, the people were havin a good time
Makin music all day long
And nobody cared if they ever got paid
One penny for playin a song
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Whoa, I know...

I've Had Enough
How many times have they lied with the truth in their eyes
Treat you like dirt, wasting the days of our lives
They try and deny it, ain't gonna buy it, just look around
Before it's all over, it's gonna get rough
I've had enough -
Chorus:
(Out of the cold into the fire) Nothing and no one is stopping me now
(Out of the cold into the fire) Just hang tough and we'll make it somehow
How many times have you given up more than you got
Countin' on things turnin' out, but you know they will not
Ain't gonna take it, kick it and break it, just look around
Before it's all over it's gonna get rough
chorus repeats 2x
Wishin' and hopin' won't get you nothin'
Prayin' and schemin', no time for dreamin'
I've got the power, this is the hour now
Wishin' and hopin' won't get you nothin'
Prayin' and schemin', no time for dreamin'
I've got the power, this is the hour now

Countin On A Miracle
Its a fairytale so tragic
Theres no prince to break the spell
I dont believe in the magic
But for you I will, for you I will
If Im a fool, Ill be a fool
Darlin for you
Im countin on a miracle
Baby Im countin on a miracle
Darlin Im countin on miracle
To come through
There aint no storybook story
Theres no never-ending song
Our happily ever after darlin
Forever come and gone
Im movin on
If Im gonna believe
Ill put my faith
Darlin in you
Im countin on a miracle
Baby Im countin on a miracle
Darlin Im countin on miracle
To come through
Sleeping beauty awakes from her dream
With her lovers kiss on her lips
Your kiss was taken from me
Now all I have is this...
Your kiss, your kiss, your touch, your touch
Your heart, your heart, your strength, your strength
Your hope, your hope, your faith, your faith
Your face, your face, your love, your love
Your dream, your dream, your life, your life
Im runnin through the forest
With the wolf at my heels
My king is lost at midnight
When the tower bells peal
Weve got no fairytale ending
In gods hands our fate is complete
Your heavens here in my heart
Our loves this dust beneath my feet
Just this dust beneath my feet
If Im gonna live
Ill lift my life
Darlin to you
Im countin on a miracle
Baby Im countin on a miracle
Darlin Im countin on miracle
To come through

Wherever Your Goin Its Alright
Say good-bye
Look to the sky
Set your course on into the night
Say good-bye
Hold your head high
Wherever youre goin its alright
Things must change
You know they always do
Get re-arranged
No reflection on you
Just face the danger
And follow it through
And the change is gonna be for the best
Well I know
How crazy it feels
When you go
Go out shufflin your heels
So take it slow
And make only good deals
Youre a young man and its time to go west
Oooh yes
You say good-bye
You look to the sky
Set your course on into the night
You say good-bye
You hold your head high
Wherever youre goin its alright
Take a chance
Go on make your move
Nothin fancy
You got nothin to prove
Just make a stance
You know were countin on you
You are the one with the vision
So move out
Move ahead of the fear
Have no doubt
In your mind theres a very clear out
And someone must steer
It is you who must make the decision
Oooh yeah

Viva Las Vegas
(words & music by doc pomus and mort shuman)
Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money thats ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
Theres a thousand pretty women waitin out there
And theyre all livin devil may care
And Im just the devil with love to spare
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas
How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
cause even if there were forty more
I wouldnt sleep a minute away
Oh, theres black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on evry deal
All you needs a strong heart and a nerve of steel
Viva las vegas, viva las vegas
Viva las vegas with you neon flashin
And your one armbandits crashin
All those hopes down the drain
Viva las vegas turnin day into nighttime
Turnin night into daytime
If you see it once
Youll never be the same again
Im gonna keep on the run
Im gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
Ill always remember that I had a swingin time
Im gonna give it evrything Ive got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shout a seven with evry shot

Love/Hate
I was a mess in my open eyed youth
I grew up thinking
What's good for one, oppresses the other
It's my turn, my life, my way, mine, me
It made me crazy
I couldn't fight it
I couldn't wait to get away
It's a war
With the whole wide world
It's a war
With the boys and girls
It's a war
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna change
It's sister and brother, mother and daughter
Father, son, husband, wife, thing
It's drugs, it's hunger
It's race, sex, and government
Any way you look at it, you're part of it, you know it
The wrong inside you, can't get it right
You might as well get on the train
It's a war
With the whole wide world
It's a war
With the boys and girls
It's a war
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna change
The screen is so white, and it's so big
It's hard to get over the feeling, you're losing your mind
You offer the usher your ticket
You open your soda, see what guy you're sitting behind
You get excited, the lights go down
You get a > on the plane
It's a war
With the whole wide world
It's a war
With the boys and girls
It's a war
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna change
It's a war
All the give and take
It's a war
All the love and hate
It's a war
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna change
And nothin's gonna change
Nothin's gonna change
Nothin's gonna change
Nothin's gonna change

Nothin' 'Bout Love Makes Sense
Like a cloud full of rain shouldn't hang in the sky
Ice shouldn't burn or a bumblebee fly
If you feel so happy, then why do you cry?
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Like an ocean liner shouldn't float on the sea
A pearl in an oyster or a circus of fleas
Someone so perfect can't be falling for me
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Nothin' bout love is less than confusing
You can win when you're losing, stand when you're falling
I can't figure it out
Nothin' bout love can make an equation nothin' short of amazing
Wish I could explain it
But I don't know how
The way that we dance, the reason we dream
That big Italian tower, well how does it lean?
Something so strong shouldn't make me this weak
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
(Instrumental)
Nothin' bout love is less than confusing
You can win when you're losing, stand when you're falling
I can't figure it out
Nothin' bout love can make an equation nothin' short of amazing
Wish I could explain it
But I don't know how
Like the lights of Las Vegas going out on the sand
A jumbo shrimp or a baby grand
How you're touching my heart when you're holding my hand
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Oh nothin' bout love makes sense
Oh nothin' bout love, makes sense
No no no, oh it don't make sense

Your Cash Ain't Nothing But Trash
(c. calhoun)
Walking down the main drag one night
I met a fine chick that looked- just right
She stopped in and i flashed my roll
I told her she could have all of my dough
She turned around, and with a fround
She said this ain't no circus and i don't need a clown
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
So there ain't no need in your hangin' around
Just to make the hit with that chick
I tried to get a cadillac right quick
The man at the place looked so strange
I had nine hundred bucks and some change
We disagreed, i tried to pleed
He said i ain't no chicken and i don't need your feed
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Then brother you're crawling we passed your speed
I'm walking and countin my bucks
The man with the gun said hands up
I tried to get away but i was too slow
He caught me and took all of my dough
I heard him shout, as he cut out
"you really lost nothing what you're crying about?"
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
And he took my watch and i passed out
I woke in the arms of a big cop
Police station next stop
The judge swung his fist down plunk plunk
Twenty dollar fine 'cause you're drunk
Dig up the dough, and you can go
And all i had was a buffalo
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
But i sure better get me some more

I been walkin down the road
What it means I dunno
I been walkin down the highway
With the bad food flyin by me
I m an ordinary man
With a time bomb in my hand
It keeps tickin an I keep runnin
Tryin to find out where I come from
And there ain t nothin gonna take this road away
Nothin gonna take this road away
Nothin gonna take this road outta my heart
Nothin gonna take this pain outta my heart
I wake up sweatin in the night
Every town is only lights
I m addicted to the highway
cuz I just can t do things their way
And there ain t nothin gonna take this road away
Nothin gonna take that road away
Nothin gonna take that road outta my heart
Highway i m doin fine
You help me draw the line
No use in bein alive
If i m just rentin
I undersand the circus well
I ve played the clown when down he fell
But bein down ain t bein loser
So just look out here comes a bruiser
And there ain t nothin gonna take my road away
Nothin gonna take my road away
Nothin gonna take my road outta my heart

Take What You Want
Written by John Mellencamp
Put your life on the table
Stick your money on the line
Create the situation there, one more time
Your name it means nothing
And the dreams that we live ??
And now you don't care if she is, the girl from next door
She's never been known for nothing, but a motor street whore
You don't believe nothin' that you can't see
And you see me as nothing, to me, yeah-ah yeah
You can take what you want
Take what you want
Take what you want
But just don't take it away
You can stay if you want
Stay if you want
Stay if you want
But just don't stay all day
Cause you know it means nothing, to me
Don't see much sense in lying here with you
The sex is over now, what is there left to do
Conversation, conversation baby, I don't talk that much
And now I don't know when I'm gonna see you again
I'm leaving tomorrow and this will all start again
I hope you don't believe that you was a failure ??
And you see it means nothin' to be a man
(repeat chorus 2 times)
But you know it means nothing
Yeah you know it means nothing
Yeah you know it means nothing, to me

Miss You So Badly
By: jimmy buffett and greg taylor
1977
I guess it all blew up in missoula
There just was no other way
After months of goin crazy, there was nothin left to say
But when the dust had finally settled
And the air had quickly cleared
Whoa, things were better off than I had feared
Chorus:
And i, miss you so badly, girl I love you madly
Feelin so sad now since I been gone, gone, gone
It gets quite confusin, it seems that Im loosin
Track of the long days since I been home
Were stayin in a holiday inn full of surgeons
I guess they meet there once a year
They exchange physicians stories
And get drunk on tuborg beer
Then theyre off to catch a stripper
With their eyes glued to her g
But I dont think that I would ever let em cut on me
Chorus:
And i, miss you so badly, girl I love you madly
I think Ive been had though for stayin so long, long, long
And im, just watchin the gong show, waitin for zoro
Losin the long days since I been home
I got a head full of feelin higher
And an ear full of patsy cline
There is just no one who can touch her
Hell, Ill hang on every line
Oh, crazy how things happen, its incredible but true
The longer Im gone the closer I feel to you
Chorus:
And i, miss you so badly, girl I love you madly
Im feelin so glad just to be headin home, home, home
Ive been, battlin motel maids, and chewin on rolaids
Countin the hours till I get home
Whoa I been, countin the hours till I get home
