Can't Get You Off My Mind

 

Lenny Kravitz

 

Life is just a lonely highway

 

I'm out here on the open road

 

I'm old enough to see behind me

 

But young enough to feel my soul

 

I don't wanna lose you baby

 

And I don't wanna be alone

 

Don't wanna live my days without you

 

But for now I've got to be without you

 

I've got a pocket full of money

 

And pocket full of keys that have no bounds

 

But then I think of lovin'

 

And I just can't get you off of my mind

 

Babe can't you see

 

That this is killing me

 

I don't want to push you baby

 

And I don't want you to be told

 

It's just that I can't breathe without you

 

Feel like I'm gonna lose control

 

I've got a pocket full of money oh yes I do

 

And a pocket full of keys that have no bounds

 

But when it comes to lovin'

 

I just can't get you off of my mind, yeaaah

 

Am I a fool to think that there's a little hope

 

Yeah yeahhhhhheee yeah

 

Tell me baby, yeah

 

What are the rules the reasons and the do's and don'ts

 

Yeah yeahhhhhheee yeah

 

Tell me baby tell me baby, yeah

 

What do you feel inside?

 

I've got a pocket full of money

 

And a pocket full of keys that have no bounds

 

Oh yeah

 

But when it comes down to lovin'

 

I just can't get you off of my mind, yeah

 

I just can't get you off of my mind, yeah.

In the Colors

 

Ben Harper

 

When your whole world is shaken from all the risks we have taken

 

Dance with me, dance with me into the colors of the dusk

 

When you have awoken from all the dreams broken

 

Come and dance with me, dance with me into the colors of the dusk

 

Dance with me in the colors of the dusk

 

The paths we're walking on, they crumble behind us

 

But if we leave now, they will never find us

 

And if this crazy world spins itself down to dust, I want to be with you in the colors

 

When you again start hoping with your arms wide open

 

Come on, dance with me, dance with me into the colors of the dusk

 

And all will be right, dancing like water with the light

 

Dance with me, won't you dance with me into the colors of the dusk?

Groaning the Blues

 

Eric Clapton (Otis Rush)

 

I'm so tired of moaning, trying to groan away my blues.

 

I'm so tired of moaning, trying to groan away my blues.

 

I keep weeping and crying every time I think of you.

 

I would rather die of starvation, perish out in the desert sun,

 

I would rather die of starvation, perish out in the desert sun,

 

Than to think of some other man holding you in his arms.

 

My heart gets so heavy, Lord I shakes down in my bones.

 

My heart gets so heavy, Lord I shakes down in my bones.

 

I can't hurt a murderer, oh Lord, but I'm forced to weep and moan.

Tea For One

 

Joe Bonamassa (Led Zep)

 

How come twenty four hours, baby sometimes seem to slip into days?

 

Oh twenty-four hours, baby sometimes seem to slip into days

 

A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this way

 

Sittin, lookin at the clock, time moves so slow

 

I've been watchin for the hands to move

 

Until I just cant look no more

 

How come twenty four hours, baby sometimes seems to slip into days?

 

A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this way.

 

To sing a song for you, I recall you used to say

 

Oh baby this ones for we two, which in the end is you anyway

 

How come twenty four hours, baby sometimes slip into days?

 

A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this way.

 

There was a time that I stood tall, in the eyes of other men

 

But by my own choice I left you woman, and now I cant get back again

 

How come twenty-four hours, sometimes slip into days?

 

A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this way

 

A minute seems like a lifetime

 

When I feel this way... I feel this way

The Story

 

I don't know

 

How to begin

 

Cause the story

 

Has been told before

 

I will sing

 

Along I suppose

 

I guess

 

It's just how it goes

 

And now

 

Those sprangs in the air

 

I don't go down anywhere

 

I guess

 

It's just how it goes

 

The stories have

 

All been told before

 

But if you don't char

 

The light

 

Won't hit your eye

 

And the moon won't rise

 

Before it's time

 

But if you don't char

 

The light

 

Won't hit your eye

 

And the moon won't rise

 

Before it's time

 

But I don't know how

 

It will end

 

With all those

 

Records playin'

 

I guess

 

It's just how it goes

 

The stories

 

Have all been told before

 

I guess

 

It's just how it goes

 

The stories

 

Have all been told before

 

I guess

 

It's just how it goes

Green Eyed Lady

 

Sugarloaf

 

Green-eyed lady, lovely lady

 

Strolling slowly towards the sun

 

Green-eyed lady, ocean lady

 

Soothing every ragin' wave that comes

 

Green-eyed lady, passions' lady

 

Dressed in love

 

She lives for life to be

 

Green-eyed lady feels life

 

I never see

 

Setting suns and lonely lovers free.

 

Green-eyed lady, wind swept lady

 

Rules the night, the waves, the sand

 

Green-eyed lady, ocean lady

 

Child of nature, friend of man

 

Green-eyed lady, passions' lady

 

Dressed in love

 

She lives for life to be

 

Green-eyed lady feels life I never see

 

Setting suns and lonely lovers free

#9 Dream

 

 

 

 

So long ago

 

Was it in a dream, was it just a dream?

 

I know, yes I know

 

Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me

 

Took a walk down the street

 

Thru the heat whispered trees

 

I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)

 

Somebody call out my name as it started to rain

 

Two spirits dancing so strange

 

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

 

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

 

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

 

Dream, dream away

 

Magic in the air, was magic in the air?

 

I believe, yes I believe

 

More I cannot say, what more can I say?

 

On a river of sound

 

Thru the mirror go round, round

 

I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel)

 

Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold

 

The spirit dance was unfolding

 

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

 

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

 

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

 

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

 

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

 

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

 

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

 

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

 

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

 

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

 

Ah! b?wakawa pouss?, pouss?

Thank You

 

Chris Cornell (Led Zep)

 

If the sun refused to shine,

 

I would still be loving you.

 

When mountains crumble to the sea,

 

There will still be you and me.

 

Kind woman, I give you my all,

 

Kind woman, nothing more.

 

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain,

 

Tears of loves lost in the days gone by.

 

My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,

 

Together we shall go until we die.

 

My, my, my,

 

An inspiration is what you are to me,

 

Inspiration, look see.

 

And so today, my world it smiles,

 

Your hand in mine, we walk the miles,

 

Thanks to you it will be done,

 

For you to me are the only one.

 

Happiness, no more be sad,

 

Happiness....I'm glad.

 

If the sun refused to shine,

 

I would still be loving you.

 

When mountains crumble to the sea,

 

There will still be you and me.

Secret

 

Maroon 5

 

Watch the sunrise

 

Say your goodbyes

 

Off we go

 

Some conversation

 

No contemplation

 

Hit the road

 

Car overheats

 

Jump out of my seat

 

On the side of the highway baby

 

Our road is long

 

Your hold is strong

 

Please don't ever let go oh no

 

I know I don't know you

 

But I want you so bad

 

Everyone has a secret

 

But can they keep it

 

Oh no they can't

 

Driving fast now

 

Don't think I know how to go slow

 

Where you at now

 

I feel around

 

There you are

 

Cool these engines

 

Calm these jets

 

I ask you how hot can it get

 

And as you wipe of beads of sweat

 

Slowly you say "I'm not there yet!"

 

I know I don't know you

 

but I want you so bad

 

everyone has a secret

 

oh, can they keep it?

 

oh no, they can't

 

I know I don't know you

 

but I want you so bad

 

everyone has a secret

 

oh, but can they keep it?

 

oh no, they can't

Drive

 

Incubus

 

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear

 

And I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear

 

Take the wheel and steer

 

It's driven me before

 

And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal

 

But lately I'm beginning to find that I

 

Should be the one behind the wheel

 

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there

 

With open arms and open eyes yeah

 

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there

 

I'll be there

 

So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive

 

Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?

 

It's driven me before

 

And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around

 

But lately I'm beginning to find that

 

When I drive myself my light is found

 

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there

 

With open arms and open eyes yeah

 

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there

 

I'll be there

 

Would you choose water over wine

 

Hold the wheel and drive

 

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there

 

With open arms and open eyes yeah

 

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there

 

I'll be there

Don't Take Me Alive

 

Steely Dan

 

Agents of the law

 

Luckless pedestrian

 

I know youre out there

 

With rage in your eyes and your megaphones

 

Saying all is forgiven

 

Mad dog surrender

 

How can I answer

 

A man of my mind can do anything

 

I'm a bookkeepers son

 

I dont want to shoot no one

 

Well I crossed my old man back in oregon

 

Dont take me alive

 

Got a case of dynamite

 

I could hold out here all night

 

Yes I crossed my old man back in oregon

 

Dont take me alive

 

Can you hear the evil crowd

 

The lies and the laughter

 

I hear my inside

 

The mechanized hum of another world

 

Where no sun is shining

 

No red light flashing

 

Here in this darkness

 

I know what I've done

 

I know all at once who I am

 

I'm a bookkeepers son

 

I dont want to shoot no one

 

Well I crossed my old man back in oregon

 

Dont take me alive

 

Got a case of dynamite

 

I could hold out here all night

 

Yes I crossed my old man back in oregon

 

Dont take me alive

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

 

The Beatles

 

I look at you all see the love there thats sleeping

 

While my guitar gently weeps

 

I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping

 

Still my guitar gently weeps

 

I dont know why nobody told you how to unfold your love

 

I dont know how someone controlled you

 

They bought and sold you.

 

I look at the world and I notice its turning

 

While my guitar gently weeps

 

With every mistake we must surely be learning

 

Still my guitar gently weeps

 

I dont know how you were diverted

 

You were perverted too

 

I dont know how you were inverted

 

No one alerted you.

 

I look at you all see the love there thats sleeping

 

While my guitar gently weeps

 

Look at you all . . .

 

Still my guitar gently weeps.

If having a crush on a dead guy is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

Wasn't judging. Just saying.

Suppose to be

 

Jack Johnson

 

Maybe it's up with the stars

 

Maybe it's under the sea

 

Maybe it's not very far

 

Maybe this is how it's supposed to be

 

This is how it's supposed to be

 

Maybe it's trapped in a jar

 

Something we've already seen

 

Maybe it's nowhere at all

 

Maybe this is how it's supposed to be

 

This is how it's supposed to be

 

Looking forward as we rewind

 

Looking back is a trap sometimes

 

Being here is so easy to do

 

If you want to

 

If you want to

 

If you want to

 

If you want to

 

If you want to

 

If you want to

 

If you want to

If You Could Only See

 

Tonic

 

If you could only see the way she loves me

 

Then maybe you would understand

 

Why I feel this way about our love

 

And what I must do

 

If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says

 

When she says she loves me

 

Well you got your reasons

 

And you got your lies

 

And you got your manipulations

 

They cut me down to size

 

Sayin you love but you dont

 

You give your love but you wont

 

If you could only see the way she loves me

 

Then maybe you would understand

 

Why I feel this way about our love

 

And what I must do

 

If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says

 

When she says she loves me

 

Seems the road less traveled

 

Shows happiness unraveled

 

And you got to take a little dirt

 

To keep what you love

 

Thats what you gotta do

 

Sayin you love but you dont

 

You give your love but you wont

 

You're stretching out your arms to something that's just not there

 

Sayin you love where you stand

 

Give your heart when you can

 

If you could only see the way she loves me

 

Then maybe you would understand

 

Why I feel this way about our love

 

And what I must do

 

If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says

 

When she says she loves me

 

Sayin you love but you dont

 

You give your love but you wont

 

Sayin you love where you stand

 

Give your heart when you can

 

If you could only see the way she loves me

 

Then maybe you would understand

 

Why I feel this way about our love

 

And what I must do

 

If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says

 

When she says she loves me

She was dancing when I seen her, in a Mexican cantina

 

In a neighbourhood they call La Zona Roja (hahahaha)

 

She had a child's smile, but she told me, in a while

 

It would take a lot of gold to get to know her (Oh)

 

Acapulco Goldie, donde did you go

 

You said you'd always hold me

 

But you run away with me Acapulco gold

 

(Oh that's a terrible thing you did)

I knew there's no-one cuter, then she said she was a puta

 

I said "What does puta mean?" Hmm and so she told me... (Oh no)

 

Then we went to meet a dealer, we smoked and drank tequila

 

Then the lights went out and I guess that's where she rolled me (just like)

 

Acapulco Goldie, por que did you go?

 

You said you'd always hold me

 

But you vamos away with me Acapulco gold

 

Yes, you run away with me Acapulco gold

 

(Oh Goldie)

 

(How can you do these things to me?)

 

(Where's my gun?)

Dog and Butterfly

 

Heart

 

There I was with the old man

 

Stranded again so off I'd ran

 

A young world crashing around me

 

No possibilities of getting what I need

 

He looked at me and smiled

 

Said no, no, no, no, no child

 

See the dog and butterfly

 

up in the air he like to fly

 

dog and butterfly

 

Below she had to try

 

she roll back down to the warm soft ground laughing

 

She dont know why, she dont know why

 

Dog and butterfly

 

Well I stumbled upon your secret place

 

Safe in the trees you had tears on your face

 

Wrestling with your desires frozen strangers

 

Stealing your fires

 

the message hit my mind

 

Only words that I could find

 

See the dog and butterfly

 

Up in the air he like to fly

 

Dog and butterfly below she had to try

 

She roll back down to the warm soft ground

 

Laughing to the sky, up to the sky

 

Dog and butterfly

 

Were getting older the worlds getting colder

 

For the life of me I dont know the reason why

 

Maybe its livin making us give in

 

Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide

 

Were balanced together ocean upon the sky

 

Another night in this strange town

 

Moonlight holding me light as down

 

Voice of confusion inside of me

 

No begging to go back where I'm free

 

Feels like I'm through

 

Then the old mans words are true

 

See the dog and butterfly

 

Up in the air he like to fly

 

Dog and butterfly, below she had to try

 

She roll back down to the warm soft

 

Ground with a little tear in her eye

 

She had to try, she had to try

 

Dog and butterfly

Wish You Were here

 

Incubus

 

I dig my toes into the sand

 

The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn

 

across a blue blanket

 

I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless

 

And in this moment I am happy

 

Happy

 

I wish you were here

 

I wish you were here

 

I wish you were here

 

I wish you were... here

 

I lay my head onto the sand

 

The sky resembles a back-lit canopy with holes punched in it

 

I'm counting UFO's, I signal them with my lighter

 

And in this moment I am happy

 

Happy

 

I wish you were here

 

I wish you were here

 

I wish you were... here

 

Wish you were here

 

The world's a rollercoaster

 

And I am not strapped in

 

Maybe I should hold with care

 

But my hands are busy in the air

 

Sayin

 

I wish you were here

 

I wish you were...

 

I wish you were here

 

I wish you were here

 

I wish you were... here

 

Wish you were here

Sunday Morning

 

Maroon 5

 

Sunday morning rain is falling

 

Steal some covers share some skin

 

Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable

 

You twist to fit the mold that I am in

 

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do

 

And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew

 

That someday it would lead me back to you

 

That someday it would lead me back to you

 

That may be all I need

 

In darkness she is all I see

 

Come and rest your bones with me

 

Driving slow on Sunday morning

 

And I never want to leave

 

Fingers trace your every outline

 

Paint a picture with my hands

 

Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm

 

Change the weather still together when it ends

 

That may be all I need

 

In darkness she is all I see

 

Come and rest your bones with me

 

Driving slow on Sunday morning

 

And I never want to leave

 

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do

 

Sunday morning rain is falling and I'm calling out to you

 

Singing someday it'll bring me back to you

 

Find a way to bring myself back home to you

 

And you may not know

 

That may be all I need

 

In darkness she is all I see

 

Come and rest your bones with me

 

Driving slow on Sunday morning

Copperhead Road

 

Steve Earle

 

Well my name's John Lee Pettimore

 

Same as my daddy and his daddy before

 

You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here

 

He only came to town about twice a year

 

He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line

 

Everybody knew that he made moonshine

 

Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad

 

He headed up the holler with everything he had

 

It's before my time but I've been told

 

He never came back from Copperhead Road

 

Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big black Dodge

 

Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge

 

Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side

 

Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside

 

Well him and my uncle tore that engine down

 

I still remember that rumblin' sound

 

[ Earle Steve Lyrics are found on Lyrics at SongLyrics.com ]

 

Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night

 

Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right

 

He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load

 

You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road

 

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday

 

They draft the white trash first,'round here anyway

 

I done two tours of duty in Vietnam

 

And I came home with a brand new plan

 

I take the seed from Columbia and Mexico

 

I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road

 

Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air

 

I wake up screaming like I'm back over there

 

I learned a thing or two from ol' Charlie don't you know

 

You better stay away from Copperhead Road

One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.? ~ Thomas Sowell
