Traveling Soldier by The Dixie Chicks

Two days past eighteen
He was waiting for the bus in his army green
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she gives him a smile
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
And talking to me,
I'm feeling a little low
She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go

So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
I got no one to send a letter to
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you

Chorus: I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming home

So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he told her of his heart
It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
He said when it's getting kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for awhile

[Chorus]

One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the Anthem sang
A man said folks would you bow your heads
For a list of local Vietnam dead
Crying all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
And one name read and nobody really cared
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair

[Chorus x2]

"Spitting Venom" by Modest Mouse

We were spitting venom at most everyone we know
If the damned gave us a road map then we'd know just were to go
Now let it drop

Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh let it all fall off

Well you were talking soda pop
You were talking quite a lot
The opinions that I do not give
The opinions I aint got
So let it drop

Let it all drop
Let is all drop
Let it all fall off there oh

Well you were spitting venom at most everyone you know
If you truly knew the gravity you'd know which way to go
Well let it drop

Let it drop
Let it all drop
Oh let it all fall off

My ears were bristled firmly right against your mouth to hear
When you tried to spit the venom out your words were not so clear
Now drop

Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for fucked up history
Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for messed up history

Well we went downtown and we sat in the rain
Well looking what direction and waiting for a train and thought over
Its all over

I did't know you kept track I didn't know there was a score
Well it looks like your the winner and I aint gonna play no more
Its over
Game over

Well we walked real stiff and i came inside the ground
You hit me with yours
And said 'pull yourself together'
Its over
Oh it's over

You can say what you want but don't act like you care
It takes more than one person to decide whats fair
Its over
Think it over

You were spitting venom at most everyone you know
If the damned gave you a road map then you'd know which way to go
So we carried all the groceries in while hauling out the trash
And if this doesn't make us motionless I do not know what can
What a rotten thing to say such an awful thing to say
I didn't mean to bite you so really
I always did what I always did what I always had to sling
So let it drop

Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh let it all fall off

Let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it drop
Oh let it all fall off

Cheer up baby it always wasn't quite so bad for every
Venom then that came out the antidote was had
[X7]

Cheer up

Cheer up baby it always wasn't quite so bad for every
Venom then that came out the antidote was had
[X6]

I Know It

I hope to God I can run really fast
Sooner or later I'll be late for class and I know it
I dont know where to go or to even think
I don't know what to say and life is a blink but I know it

Can you pray for me?
Can you beg for me?
No, But I know it
I know, I know, I know, and I know it.

Puff the cigarette and down the smoke goes
Coughing up a lung out through my nose and I know it
Guzzle down some really tastey booze
Watch my life daringly crash the cruise and I know it

Can you hold for me?
Can you cry for me?
No, But I know it
I know, I know, I know, and I know it.

Quench the fist and get ready to pound
I pray to God that I'll hit the ground and I know it.
Screaching tires my eyes light up
I wont be drinking from the cup and I know it.

Can You see me?
Can you feel me?
No, But I know it
I know, I know, I know, and I know it.

Can you stay for me?
Can you daze for me?
No, But I know it
I know, I know, I know, and I know it.

Oh God my doom is my trait, the one thing I love is the one thing I hate and I know it.

Down To The River To Pray by Alison Krauss

(Album:O'Brother Where Art Thou?)

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

O sisters let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O sisters let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

O brothers let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
Come on brothers let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

O fathers let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O fathers let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

O mothers let's go down,
Let's go down, don't you want to go down,
Come on mothers let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

O sinners let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O sinners let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

Here It Comes

Here it comes here it goes
where it is no body knows
Tell it all its a ball
And the empire will fall

All your fears all your peers
Take it in like a downed beer
Big dead deers steerin clear
Hope this is what you might fear

Got it all want it all
Filled your head watch it fall
Get on up to your feet
Can you feel that wicked beat?

Here it comes here it goes
where it is no body knows
Tell it all its a ball
And the empire will fall

Take a chance and hold my hand
As I wisk you through this land
Now heres your chance to sing a song
Hold on tight we all sing along

Here it comes here it goes
where it is no body knows
Tell it all its a ball
And the empire will fall

Bars

Men with long beards are sitting at tables
They'e speaking loud of their own foolish fables
While kids sit near and reach from a far
For the peanuts sitting on the bar
The women with long thinning gray hair
Are telling each other about their chair

The voices in the building make the place seem full
And the people inside make it feel like home
One more brew goes down and a cheer is said
Tonight many men pass the time with one another
The women sit back and relax and have another
As the children sit and try not to bother

GET ON UP!

As the man walks around, like he's gonna take em down
GET ON UP! GET ON UP!(X2)
He's gonna hit you really hard, better hope you play your cards
GET ON UP! GET ON UP!(X2)
She looks sleek-moves real fast, gonna kick your lilly ass
GET ON UP! GET ON UP!(X2)

Owsley-Coming Up Roses

Morning comes and you're so lonely
And you feel like you're the only one alive
Since she left you blame yourself
For all the things she never felt
How could you be untrue to yourself
When nobody is watching
Your life isn't over the clock is still tocking

One day you will wake up and you'll
Be able to forget the sadness
Get into the gladness
Of love and it's way and you will not fight it
While everyone dozes, you're coming up roses

Drowning in a sea of sorrow
She won't be here for tomorrow's lullaby
'Round and 'round and 'round she goes
And where she stops nobody knows
But God above
It's starting to rain and you're running
For cover like she ran to the arms of another

One day you will wake up and you'll
Be able to forget the sadness
Get into the gladness
Of love and it's way and you will not fight it
While everyone dozes, you're coming up roses

You will learn to try again
When you get your second wind

How long is the road paved with good intentions
Forever waiting divine intervention
Of love and it's way and you will not fight it
While everyone dozes, you're coming up roses

What

Got a gun
gotta run
hope this life was really fun
Take a twirl hit a squirell watch your life go in a whirl

This is Justice in a can this is pure american
This is your precious little life being held by a knife
This is Justice in a can this is pure american
THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS

Boy hands down
you will frown
and won't turn this life around
Hold my man
I am the man
whos gonna get you to your land

This is Justice in a can this is pure american
This is your precious little life being held by a knife
This is Justice in a can this is pure american
THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS

Tune sung to Bobby McFerrin's "Don't worry be happy"

When your car is running slow
And it seems where your going you cant go
Don't worry drive happy (dont worry drive happy now)
woo woo woo woowoowoo

Men in Hats

Eerie sunsets
Eerie voices
men in hats are making choices(x2)

People are falling to their knees screaming oh god, oh god please!
The men in hats are looking grim your wallets oh baby are looking slim
Theres a man on a lake singing cry me a river so I can get out of here(x2)

Eerie sunsets
Eerie voices
men in hats are making choices(x2)

Theres men who toil letting it boil all our pretty little thoughts
They haunt with hue and beckon you to buy what it is they got
Tears will flow from those you know giving them all they got
Just like trees they'll be down on their knees begging till they rot

Eerie sunsets
Eerie voices
men in hats are making choices(x2)

Singers of songs are belting along while the workers watch at bay
People are leaving and not believing that someone says they should stay
The wives are crying as the men are dying and no one knows what to say
Opinions are thrown to the vast unknown and left to erode away

Eerie sunsets
Eerie voices
men in hats are making choices(x2)

The men in hats are looking back following your paper track
Wingless birds are walking high till someone shoots them and they die
But the men in hats have you by the eye now your singing oh god good bye

Eerie sunsets
Eerie voices
men in hats are making choices(x2)

Bankrupt on Selling by Modest Mouse

well all the apostles-they're sitting in swings
saying "i'd sell off my savior for a set of new rings
and some sandles with the style of straps that cling best to the era"
so all of the businessers in their unlimited
hell where they buy and they sell and they sell all their
trash to each other but they're sick of it all
and they're bankrupt on selling
and all of the angels
they'd sell off yer soul for a set of new wings and anything gold
they remember
the people they loved their old friends
and i've seen through'em all seen through'em all and seen through most everything
all the people you knew were the actors
all the people you knew were the actors
well, i'll go to college and i'll learn some big words
and i'll talk real loud
goddamn right i'll be heard
you'll remember all the guys that said all those big words he must've
learned in college
and it took a long time
i came clean with myself
i come clean out of love with my lover
i still love her
loved her more when she used to be sober and i was kinder

What do you do in b7 alternate bass

Well she just a girl, got me in her world, and I dont know what to do
And I'm just a plain guy, just living till I do die, and don't know what to do
We're just a dating, not a people hating, cuz thats not what we do

Now I aint be a aching, I wont be faking, cuz I know what to do
If a fool is what I am, its I be who I am, cuz thats what you gotta do
ooo ooo ooo gotta do what you do!(x2)

Cheater

I held your hand that night
I did what I thought was right
This house is haunted with things from the past
I no longer feel like I'm flying first class
I'm dating this girl I really like
Turns out she's just a Dyke
I was wrong

I was wrong to believe
All I did was deceive
Told the truth to a bunch of liars
I was sold like just another buyer
I cant forget nor forgive
Cuz this is what you say it is
Say Goodbye to what I knew
Say Goodbye because I'm a fool
I thought I loved you with all my heart
Must have just been a brain fart

I cant see straight when I look at you
I know you did what you said you couldn't do
You broke my heart after all we've done
I don't know bout me babe but wasn't it fun?
Criers and tryers, livers an liars are all the same
We all fall to the infamous cheaters game
Wish I could move on with such a flash
But I'm sick of the tireless lacking dash
Running from the fears I have
Because deep inside I lost what I had

I was wrong to believe
All I did was deceive
Told the truth to a bunch of liars
Was sold like just another buyers
I cant forget nor forgive
Cuz this is what you say it is
Say Goodbye to what I knew
Say Goodbye because I'm a fool
I thought I loved you with all my heart
Must have just been a brain fart

If I had a Kleenex to wipe what I cry deep inside
Boxes would be gone each day and night
I'm tired of sitting and being nice to you
I'm sick of having to be funny for you
Everyday I have to smile to maintain the peace
When war is brewing deep inside of me
Should I hold the gun or the flag
No matter what" love" is the drag

I was wrong to believe
All I did was deceive
Told the truth to a bunch of liars
I was sold like just another buyer
I cant forget nor forgive
Cuz this is what you say it is
Say Goodbye to what I knew
Say Goodbye because I'm a fool
I thought I loved you with all my heart
Must have just been a brain fart

You got caught by the cops
You got caught by the cops
Now your going to Detox
Now your going to Detox
You got caught by the cops
You got caught by the cops
Now you'll get your cherry popped

Well that beer you had was too many
And the shots were oh so plenty
And when the sirens come
You know you cant run
So when you take that bong
Just remember it wont be too long
Before I'll be singing this song

You got caught by the cops
You got caught by the cops
Now your going to Detox
Now your going to Detox
You got caught by the cops
You got caught by the cops
Now you'll get your cherry popped

No matter how fast you are
Your gonna go behind bars
You'll be sitting in a room so bare
Just be glad you aint hugging "Teddy Bear"
And while your in there long
I'll be singing this song

You got caught by the cops
You got caught by the cops
Now your going to Detox
Now your going to Detox
You got caught by the cops
You got caught by the cops
Now you'll get your cherry popped
