Leavin The Top 40 Behind
Here comes another day
And another
I got so many ills and pills
Im about to smother
Hit 39, leavin the top 40 behind
Holdin on to what I got
I tried to tell myself
It doesnt matter
Its just the time of life
Another rung in the ladder
Each morning i
Look in her sky-blue eyes
The downside of life looks better
That old man standin on the corner
He should be proud of those lines on his face
cos either hes been laughin too much
Or feelin too much pain
Here comes another day
And another
I sure am glad
I got you for a lover
Hit 39, leavin the top 40 behind
Holdin on to what I got
That old man standin on the corner
He should be proud of those lines on his face
cos either hes been smilin too much
Or feelin too much pain
Here comes another day
And another
I sure am glad
I got you for a lover
Hit 39, Im leavin the top 40 behind
Holdin on to what I got
Hit 39, leavin the top 40 behind
Holdin on to what I got

Alwasy Leaving, Always Gone
Dusty dreams of yesterday, of women in the snow
Always leavin' and always gone
Reachin' for the sparkle in the yello' afternoon
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
The image of the girl appears there, clearly upon my mind
Always leavin' and always gone
Lost among the promises of the days I'll never fi-ind
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
I could hide the pain inside me but what would I win
I would lose the right to live and turn the pain to si-i-i-in
So I'll find another way, some other words to sing
And whether you're stayin' or leavin' baby, I lose everythi-ing
Here I am, another day, just a wonderin' where I'm at
Always leavin' and always gone
You fall on my memory but I try to get you there
Always leavin' and always gone
Always leavin' and always go-o-one
Always gone
Always leavin', always go-one
Always leavin', always go-one
Always leavin', always go-one

Feelings
Feelings, empty feelings
Prayin', hopin', needin'
Just when i wanted to hold you
You're leavin', you're leavin'
Leavin', you're leavin'
I remember those magic nights
Those nights when it
All seemed right
But i knew that by mornin'
You'd be gone
And though you tell me
That it's not for long
It ain't easy here holdin' on
You gotta tell me where i stand
'cause either you don't give a damn
Or you don't even care to pretend
Or you won't spare a thought
Though you know
It must come to an end
You'd better know that
I've made up my mind
I gotta high of a different kind
And it's gonna take me
Where i wanna be
Sure i'll miss ya but i gotta choose
You can't believe that
I came here to lose
And you ain't a winner
That's easy to see
So i'll see you around or i'll write
And i'll send you some love
'cause where i wanna go
There ain't nothing to do but move

Only A Hobo
As I was out walking on a corner one day,
I spied an old hobo, in a doorway he lay.
His face was all grounded in the cold sidewalk floor
And I guess hed been there for the whole night or more.
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin nobody to carry him home
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
A blanket of newspaper covered his head,
As the curb was his pillow, the street was his bed.
One look at his face showed the hard road hed come
And a fistful of coins showed the money he bummed.
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin nobody to carry him home
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Does it take much of a man to see his whole life go down,
To look up on the world from a hole in the ground,
To wait for your future like a horse thats gone lame,
To lie in the gutter and die with no name?
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin nobody to carry him home
Only a hobo, but one more is gone

Leaving
(fiett/fletcher)
Nothing is moving, all the world is still
No birds are singing and they never will
Cause youre leaving
No doors are open, the sun doesnt smile
Theres no sign of laughter, it rains all the while
And Im grieving
Cause youre leavin, leavin
Food doesnt tempt me
No coffee or cakes, everythings empty
My hearts full of aches, nothing can please me
Why are you leaving?
Oh, no silver linings, no fluffy white clouds
I keep on walking, Im lost in a crowd
Cause youre leaving
Nothing gives me pleasure, nothing gives me pain
Im all over numb and I cant explain
Now youre leaving
Cause youre leavin, leavin
So you put me down, you go your way around
Im glad youre doing fine, Ill make out in time
Dont you worry, now youre leaving

Still Holding On
There's something out there left for you
But it's not me
We've reached a point of no return
It's only right I set you free
I know I'll have to turn away
But there's nowhere for my love to go
And there won't come a day
When I won't honor what we've vowed
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
When my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
We can't deny that this one's
Out of our control
Stronger than the both of us
And bound to take its toll
I can stand the test of time
And as far as I can see
There are no walls that we can't climb
Standin' between you and me
But I'll go on with my life
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
When my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
And there's a place you'll always be
No matter where you are
You're here with me
When the world is turning upside down
Together we can stand our ground
We can even say goodbye for now if
If that's what we have to do
But here in my heart
Even when my arms are empty darlin'
I'm still holdin' on to you
I'm still holdin' on to you

Im Leavin
(taura stinson/ craiyge lindesay)
I come home from work and have a glass of wine
Kick off my shoes and wait on you
Well its way past dawn and your still gone
Where in the world is my boo?
See I was fallin asleep and you were creeping in
I never would have noticed until when
Until I smelt perfume, the kind I do not wear
My babys been messin around again
Chorus:
You shouldnt have done me babe
Now watch what I do to you
Baby Im leavin Im leavin Im leavin
Leavin you
You shouldnt have done me babe
Now watch what I do to you
Baby Im leavin Im leavin Im leavin
Leavin you
How could I be so dumb? I thought I loved a man
But more and more you proved to be a boy
And now I understand
But I cant baby sit no more, its not what I loved you for
Id rather be alone bye-bye cos Im really leavin this time
Chorus
Look at you now begging down on your knees
Thinking Im coming back, oh child please
I said I was leavin I mean whet I say
Theres no turning around Im ieavin today

No I cant baby sit no more, its not what I loved you for
Id rather be alone bye-bye cos Im really leavin this time

Nobody Gonna Tell Me What To Do
Shoulda seen the look on the face of the boss of the second shift,
When I threw my hard hat at him,
An' suggested the box where he could stick it.
I walked downstairs an told 'em I was leavin' Bethlehem,
Like I'd seen the Saviour, had tears in my eyes,
Holdin' my hands up an' shoutin': "Amen."
'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.
I spent most of my life a-wrapped up tight,
In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes.
Startin' today, I'm someone I'd be proud to know:
You might tell me where to go,
But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.
We buried Daddy just like week at the church to save his soul.
Man, he dreamed of pilot's wings:
Spent his whole life diggin' coal.
I got a guitar under my bed, but I've been too scared to fly.
But that's enough of that stuff, I'm packin' up my truck:
They can just kiss my butt goodbye.
'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.
I spent most of my life a-wrapped up tight,
In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes.
Startin' today, I'm someone I'd be proud to know:
You might tell me where to go,
But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.
Instrumental Break.
'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.
(Ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.)
I spent most of my life wrapped up tight,
In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes.
Startin' today, I'm someone I'd be proud to know:
You might tell me where to go,
But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do.
I walked downstairs an told 'em I was leavin' Bethlehem.

Holding
Im standing here and hoping for you
Holding my door open for you now
Ask just what you will of me
Ill bend just like a willow tree
And now Im holdin
Holdin my door open to the wind
Well seven times she came to me
And each time seemed the same to me
She knows just what to ask me now
And I cant help but wonder how
And now Im holdin
Holdin my door open before the wind
I wrote my name upon the sands
With questioningly weary hands
The tide arose and answered me
And washed my name into the sea
And now Im holdin
Holdin my door open before the wind

Leavin' In The Morning
Music: Barry Manilow
Lyrics: Marty Panzer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried to tell you there was trouble on the way
I lost the feelin' that I once had
But when I held you there was nothin' I could say
I couldn't bear to see you hurt so bad
So I'll be leavin' in the morning
Wishin' that I could stay
And tho' I'll miss you every morning it's the only way
So I'll be leavin' in the morning
But how can I tell you why
I never gave you any warning
And now I don't know how to say goodbye
I tried to tell you there was something that I missed
Something I couldn't ever find with you
But I was blinded by your love each time we kissed
Afraid I'd never find a love so true
So I'll be leavin' in the morning
But how can I tell you why
I never gave you any warning
And now I don't know how to say goodbye
I waited too long but now I see
It's no good for you
It's no good for me
You can't see it now
But one day you'll know
I just had to go
So I'll be leavin' in the morning
Wishin' that I could stay
And tho' I'll miss you every morning it's the only way
So I'll be leavin' in the morning
But how can I tell you why
I never gave you any warning
And now I don't know how to say goodbye

Mama stood cryin at the back door
Papas lacin on his leavin shoes
Little joes blowin on the horn outdoors
Ive seen enough, I cant take no more
And Im leavin
Might go to philadelphia, pa
Might wind up in boston, I just cant say
Got my axe in one hand
Got my greyhound ticket in the other hand
And Im leavin
I tell you Im leavin
Gonna play my blues
Yes Im leavin
Got nothing to lose
Well, Im dying to get the hell out of here
Right away
Mama stood cryin at the back door
Papas lacin on his leavin shoes
Little joes blowin on the horn outdoors
Ive seen enough, I cant take no more
And Im leavin
I said Im leavin
Gonna play my guitar
Im leavin
Dont care if Im a big star
Im leavin this old ghetto
Right away, right away

A Flame For You
(d. deviller/s. hosein/c. russell)
Think about you evry minute
Dream about you evry hour of the day
Close my eyes, and I think of your kiss
Well thats all that Ive got
When youre so far away
It took some tears to let you
Thought that time would never heal me
You left my life, without a sound
After all weve been through
I still want you near me
Refrain:
A flame for you still burns
And so Im savin my love for you
A flame for you still burns
And Im holdin on
Yes. Im holdin on
Still in love with you (hey)
Remember how you get to safe and walk (ohh)
We built our life for two, oh
Guess I didnt recognize the signs
Coz I was lost in love
Lost in love with you
(repeat refrain)
Every once in a while
You find a love
That slips right through your hands
Gonna do my very best
To get you back again
A flame for you still burns
And so Im savin my love for you
(savin all my love for you)
A flame for you still burns (hey)
And Im holdin on
Yes, Im holdin on
Still in love with you
A flame for you still burns (hey, baby)
And so Im savin my love for you (savin all my love for you)
A falme for you still burn (still burn)
And Im holdin on
Yes, Im holdin on
Still in love with you
A flame for you still burns (hey)
And so Im savin my love for you (savin all my love for you)
A flame for you still burns
And Im holdin on
Yes, Im holdin on
Still in love with you
A flame for you still burns

Only A Hobo
(bob dylan)
As I was out walking on the corner one day
I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay
His face was all covered in the cold sidewalk floor
I guess hed been there for a whole night or more
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leaving nobody to carry it on
Leaving nobody to sing his sad song
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
A blanket of newspaper covered his head
The step was his pillow
The street was his bed
One look at his face
Showed the hard road hed come
And a fistful of money
Showed the coins that hed bummed
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin nobody to carry it on
Only a hobo, but one more is gone
Does it take much of a man
To see a whole life go down
To look on the world
From a hole in the ground
Too late for your future
Like a horse thats gone lame
To lie in the gutter
And die with no name
He was only a hobo, but one more is gone
Leavin nobody to sing his sad song
Leavin nobody to carry it on
Only a hobo, but one more is gone

Lovin Two Different Women by Talile Ali
see myself holdin' you and talkin'
see myself lovin' you so true
seems it will not be in this time or place
see myself with you talking and a fussin'
we're talkin and I lean forward to kiss you
will it ever be in this time or space
I am in love with two different women
I wished it was so, now what am I to do
If they were not just oh so fantastic
Why am I actin' surprised, I'm nobody's fool
I could lye about these feelin's
it'd be so easy to do the two
lovin' quashes any need for lyin'
Lovin leaves you exposed feelin the truth
I am lovin two different women
I want them to want it as much as I do
its gettin' qwerkier every day
tricky thing bout love
That it comes from somewhere above
Leavin this man richer in love everyday

It Was So Easy
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
I remember a time, rompin through the woods
Sun against our skin instead of clothes
When we felt hungry we would eat, whn we felt glad we would dance
And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze
It was so easy then never takin any stands
It was so easy then, holdin hands
I remember a time when our fears could be named
And courage meant not refusing dares
I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks,
No only on the squares
Or else wed be abducted by the bears
It was so easy then never makin any plans
It was so easy then, holdin hands
It was so easy then never makin any plans
It was so easy then, holdin hands
And now we are grown, with debts and regrets
And broken hearts and sentimental schemes
Now every tender failure seems to overthrow old dreams
Love can lead a normal woman to extremes
It was so easy once, holdin hands without a plan
It was so easy once holdin hands
Just holdin hands

Holdin
(kelly garrett/craig wiseman)
Parked down on lovers leap
Steaming up his old heap
Two lovers stare up at the stars
Somewhere in the lights below
Two houses all aglow
Parents wondering where on earth they are
cause their folks have tried to tell them
This is way too serious
And while their mommas are waiting up theyre
Holdin, lovin, kissin, huggin
Come whatever may they keep
Goin, dreamin, smilin, believin
That nothin matters like this love theyre holdin
A few years and some wedding vows
A quarter-acre and a little white house
More than they can well afford
And those easy payments are getting tough
All the overtime aint enough
Still they couldnt ask for more
cause that old hill that theyve been climbin
Might be gettin steep
Oh, but they dont seem to mind it they keep
Holdin, lovin, kissin, huggin
Come whatever may they keep
Goin, dreamin, smilin, believin
That nothin matters like this love theyre holdin
As they rock their newborn baby fast asleep
They know the most important lesson they can teach
Keep on
Holdin, lovin, kissin, huggin
Come whatever may they keep
Goin, dreamin, smilin, believin
That nothing matters, like this love
Theyre holdin, dreamin, goin, knowin, believin,
Nothing matters like this love theyre holdin
Just keep on holdin

Roll Like The River
(lovett/peacock/clyne)
I see the birds up in the sky
They can fly so high, then why cant i
I see the fishes in the sea
And they just swim so free and laugh at me
Now I can run as fast as anyone
And no one follows me
Can you imagine anybody so free?
I got no secrets in my head
I got no books to read that must be read
I wonder down the water way
I left my cares and troubles yesterday
I got no need to be ahurrin
And no ones pushin me
And nothing ever gets to worrin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
I see new opens to the sun
And theres no door to close to anyone
Who makes rivers down my face
And Ill leave each one to find its place
I got no need to be ahurrin
And no ones pushin me
And nothing ever gets to worrin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
Roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
And Ill just roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
Roll like the river down to the sea
Now I got my freedom aint nothin holdin me
