Song by Garth Brooks
In Lonesome Dove
She was a girl in a wagon train Headed west across the plains The Train got lost in a summer storm they couldn't move west and they couldn't go home Then she saw him riding through the rain He took charge of the wagons and he saved the train And she looked down and her heart was gone the train went west but she stayed on In Lonesome Dove
A farmer's daughter with a gentle hand A blooming rose in a bed of sand She lvoed theman who wore a star A Texas Ranger known near and far So they got married and they had a child But times were touch and the west was wild So it was no surprise the day she learned that her Texas man would not return To Lonesome Dove
Back to bac with the Rio Grande A Christian woman in the devil's land She learned the language and she learned to fight But she never learned how to beat the lonely nights In Lonesome Dove, Lonesome Dove
She watched her boy grow into a man He had an angle's heart and the devil's hand He wore his star for all to see He was a Texas lawman legacy Then one day word blew into town It seemed themen that shot his father down Had robbed a bank in Cherico The only thing between them and Mexico Was Lonesome Dove
The shadows stretched across the land As the shots rang out down the Rio Grande And when the somke had finally cleared the street The men lay at the ranger's feet But legend tells to this very day That shots were coming form an alleyway Though no one knows who held the gun There ain't no doubt if you ask someone In Lonesome Dove
Back to back with the Rio Grande A Christain woman in the devil's land She learned the oanguage and she learned to fight but she never learnedhow to beat the lonely nights In Lonesome Dove, Lonesome Dove.

Song by Garth Brooks
Rodeo
His eyes are cold and restless His wounds are almost healed And she'd give half of Texas Just to change the way he feels She know his love's in Tulsa And she know he's gonna go Well it ain't no woman flesh and blood it's that damned old rodeo
Well it's bulls and blood It's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white in his knuckles The gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round It's boots and chaps It's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo it's the ropes and the reins and the joy and th epain And they call the thing rodeo
She does her best to hold him When his love comes to call But this need for it controls him And her back's agains the wall when it's time for him to go You know the woman wants her cowboy Like he wants his rodeo
Well it's bulls and blood It's the dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It's teh white in his knuckles the gold in the buckle it's boot and chaps It's spurs and latigo it's the ropes and the reins And the joy and pain And they call the thing rodeo It'll drive a cowboy crazy It'll drive a man insane And he'll sell off everything he owns Just to pay to play her game And a broken home and some broken bones Is all he'll have to show For all the years that he spent chasing This dream they called rodeo
Well it's bulls and blood It's dust and mud It's the roar of a Sunday crowd It'st he white in his knuckles The gold in the buckle He'll win the next go 'round it's boots and chaps it's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo It's the ropes and the reins and the joy and pain And they call the thing rodeo
It's the broncs and the blood It's the steers and the mud And they call the thing rodeo.

Face to Face
Song by Garth Brooks
ther was a bad boy in the school yard Waited on you everyday Seemed like every time you turned around Well he was standing in your way We he broke your glasses The girls laughed As he pushed you to the floor but they you stood up one day knowing You couldn't stand it anymore And your gentle hand was finally clenched in rage You were face to face Face to face with the devil that you've been dreading But bad as it was, well now brother wasn't it better Dealing with him face to face Your date showed up with flowers And you thought your dreams had come but with every passing hours You felt it come undone Then the night exploded and you begged him no And now he waits a judge and jury Thinking you'll break down inside And with a finger you can put this fists away Face to face with the devil that you've been dreading But bas it was, well little sister wasn't it better Eye to eye finally has arrived But bad as it was, well little sister wasn't it better Dealing with him face to face Cause it'll never go away Until the fear that you are running from is finally embraced Driving by the grave yard On a wicked winter's eve And you're wondering why a man of faith Is whistling nervously Then you stop the car And you hold your heart Cause you finally realized Hell, the devil ain't in the darkness He's a rattling around inside And with folded hands you truly start to pray And you're face to face Face to face with the devil that you've been dreading Eye to eye finally arrived but bad as it was, well now brother wasn't it better Dealing with him face to face Cause it'll never go away Until the fear that you are running from is finally embraced Face to face.

The Scottish Soldier (By Andy Stweart)
There was a soldier, a Scottish soldier Who wandered far away and soldiered far away Thre was none bolder, with good broad shoulder He's fought in many a fray, and fought and won. He'd seen the glory and told the story of battles glorious and deeds neforious But now he's sighing, his heart is crying To leave these green hills of Tryol
Chours: Because these green hills are not highland hills or the island hills, ther're not my land's hills And fair as these green foreign hills my be They are not the hills of home.
and now this soldier, this Scottish soldier Who wandered far away and soldiered far away Sees leaves are falling and death is calling And he will fade away, in that far land, He called his piper, his trusty piper And bade him sound a lay a piborch sad to play upon a hillside, a Scottish hillside Not on these green hills of Tyrol
Chours:
And so this soldier, this Scottish soldier Will wander far no more and soldier far no more And on a hillside, a Scottish hillside You'll see a piper play his soldier home. He's seen glory, he'd told his story of battle glorious and deeds victiorious The bugles cease now, he is at peace now Far from those green hills of Tyrol.

Dublin Mistral (song by Paddy Reilly)
From Dublin streets and roads down they years Came great musicians and balladeers There was a special one, a red hair mistrel boy And when he passed away, a city mourned its favorite son
Chours: All around the markets and down the quays The sad news it spread to the liberties The mistrel boy is gone, he'll sing no more And Luke somehow we know, we'll never see your likes again
He liked to laugh and sing he loved a jar And his songs rang out in many city bars I walked by the old canal near which he used to live Down Raglan Road I'm sad, as he so much left to give
Chours:
Now the show is over, the curtain's down A flame no longer burns in Dublin Town while the liffey flows beeath the Ha'penny Bridge You'll be remembered Luke for all your songs and all you did.

Working Man I am (Song by Rita MacNeil sung by Paddy Reilly)
It's a working man I am And I've been down underground And I swear to God if I ever see the sun Or for any length of time I can hold it in my mind I never again will go down underground
At the age of Sixteen years oh, he quarrels with his peers Who vowed they never see another In the dark recess of the mines Where you age before your time And the coal dust lies heave on your lungs
It's a working man I am And I've been underground And I swear to God if I ever see the sun or for any length of time I can hold it in my mind I never again will go down underground
At the age of sixty four Oh, he'll great you at the door And he'll gently lead you by the arm Through the dark recess of the mines Oh, he'll take you back in time And he'll tell you of the hardships that were had
It's a working man I am And I've been underground And I swear to God if I ever see the sun Or for any length of time I can hold it in my mind I never again will go down underground
It's a working man I am And I've been down underground And swear to God if I ever see the sun Or for any length of time I can hold it in my mind I never again will go down underground
It's a working man I am And I've been down underground And I swear to God if I ever see the sun Or for any length of time I can hold it it my mind I never again will go down underground
God, I never will go down underground again.

Only the Good Die young (Billy Joel)
Come out Virgina, don't let me wait You Catholic girls start much too late Aw But sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well be the one
well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray They built you a temple and locked you away Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay For the things that you might have done.... Only the good die young That what I said Only the good die young X2
You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud we mght be laughing a bit too loud aw But that never hurt no one
So come out Virginia show me a sign Send up a signal I'll throw you the line The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind (you know) Never lets in the sun in darling only the good die young woah I tell ya only the good die young X2
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation You got a brand new soul MMMM, and a cross of gold but Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information You didn't count on me When you were counting on your rosary (Oh woah, woah)
They say there's a heave for those who will wait Some say it's better but I say it ain't I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints the sinners are much more fun....
You know that only the good die young Thats what I said I tell ya only the good die young X2
Well you mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation Aww Sne never cared for me But did she ever say a prayer for me? oh woah woah
Come out come out virgina don't let me wait, You Catholic girls start much too late Sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well be the one, You know that only the good die young
I'm telling you baby You know only the good die young Only the good die young Only the gooooooooooooooooooood only the good die young Only the gooooooooooooooooooood only the good die young Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo ooooooooo... (Only the good die young) X2

American Pie (Don McLean)
A long, long time ago... I can still remember How that music used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And, maybe, they�d be happy for a while.
But february made me shiver With every paper I�d deliver. Bad news on the doorstep; I couldn�t take one more step.
I can�t remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride, But something touched me deep inside The day the music died.
So bye-bye, miss american pie. Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. And them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye Singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die. "this�ll be the day that I die."
Did you write the book of love, And do you have faith in God above, If the Bible tells you so? Do you believe in rock �n roll, Can music save your mortal soul, And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you�re in love with him `cause I saw you dancin� in the gym. You both kicked off your shoes. Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.
I was a lonely teenage broncin� buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck, But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died.
I started singin�, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die. "this�ll be the day that I die."
Now for ten years we�ve been on our own And moss grows fat on a rollin� stone, But that�s not how it used to be. When the jester sang for the king and queen, In a coat he borrowed from james dean And a voice that came from you and me,
Oh, and while the king was looking down, The jester stole his thorny crown. The courtroom was adjourned; No verdict was returned. And while lennon read a book of marx, The quartet practiced in the park, And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died.
We were singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die. "this�ll be the day that I die."
Helter skelter in a summer swelter. The birds flew off with a fallout shelter, Eight miles high and falling fast. It landed foul on the grass. The players tried for a forward pass, With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune. We all got up to dance, Oh, but we never got the chance! `cause the players tried to take the field; The marching band refused to yield. Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died?
We started singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die. "this�ll be the day that I die."
Oh, and there we were all in one place, A generation lost in space With no time left to start again. So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick! Jack flash sat on a candlestick Cause fire is the devil�s only friend.
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage. No angel born in hell Could break that satan�s spell. And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite, I saw satan laughing with delight The day the music died
He was singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die. "this�ll be the day that I die."
I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news, But she just smiled and turned away. I went down to the sacred store Where I�d heard the music years before, But the man there said the music wouldn�t play.
And in the streets: the children screamed, The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed. But not a word was spoken; The church bells all were broken. And the three men I admire most: The father, son, and the holy ghost, They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died.
And they were singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. And them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye Singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die. "this�ll be the day that I die."
They were singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye Singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die."

The Cowboy Song (By Garth Brooks)
Pushing horns weren't easy like the movie said it was And I don't recall no dance hall girls or hotel rooms with rugs You worked hot and tired and nasty Rode your pon's head too low There were all the night you couldn't sleep 'Cause it was too damn cold And you'd sing "Strawberry roan, and "Little Joe" Like the time we hit the river And the rains began to fall And the water was rising so damn fast We thought it'd drown us all We lost a lot of steers that day and four to five good mounts But when all the boys rode into camp We knew that's what counts Adn we sang, yippie ti ya yay and "Amazing Grace" or the night they broke behind us And then took us by surprise I whistled out to Bonner, I seen the terror in his eyes And he rode for all his horse would ride And I know he done his best But he crossed over Jordan riding 'Dunny to his death' And we sang "Bringing in the Sheaves" and "The Rugged cross" So when you see the cowboy, he' not ragged by his choice he never meant to bow them legs or put that gravel in his voice He's just chasing what he really loves And what's burining in his soul Wishing to God that he'd been born a hunderd years ago Still singing "Strawberry Roan" and "Little Joe"

Guess I'll take a turn in the fun. Music is my passion, after all. I backed my car into a cop car, the other day. Well he just drove off, sometimes life's ok. I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say. Well you just laughed it off, it was all ok.
And we'll all float on, ok. And we'll all float on, ok. And we'll all float on, ok. And we'll all float on any way, well.
A fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam. It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand. Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands. Good news will work its way to all them plans. We both got fired on exactly the same day. Well we'll float on good news is on the way.
And we'll all float on, ok. And we'll all float on, ok. And we'll all float on, ok. And we'll all float on, alright. Already we'll all float on. No, don't you worry, we'll all float on. Alright, already, we'll all float on. Alright, don't worry, we'll all float on.
Alright already we'll all float on. Alright already we'll all float on. Alright don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy. We'll all float on...alright. Already we'll all float on. Alright already we'll all float on, ok. Don't worry we'll all float on. Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on.
Alright already we'll all float on. (Alright) Don't you worry we'll all float on. (Alright) All float on....(Modest Mouse, Float On)

Chicken Fried (by Zak Brown Band)
You know I like my chicken fried Cold beer on Friday night A Pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up
Well I was raised up beneath the shades of a Georgia Pine With sweet tea and pecan pie Where the peaches grow And my house is not much to talk about but it's filled with love that's grown in southern ground A a little bit of chicken fried
Cold beer on a friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I've seen the sunrise See the love in my woman's eyes feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love
And it's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most Not where you live what you drive or the price tag on your clothes to know So if you agree with me Raise your glasses for a toast To a little bit of chicken fried
Cold beer on a friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I've seen the sunrise See the lvoe in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love
I thank God of my life And for the Stars and Stripes May freedom forever fly let it ring Salute the ones who died And the ones that gave their lives so we don't have sacrifice All the things we love Like our chicken fried
Cold beer on a friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I've seen the sunrise See the lvoe in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love
You know I like my chicken fired Cold beer on a friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I've seen the sunrise See thelvoe in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love.

I'm never in the mood. But I do have a song. You see, it's fitting that I have Chopper's Axe, if you concider how many times it's drawn my blood over the years... But never mind that, there is a song to be sang. [glow=dbdbdb,2,300] Turn her over A candle is lit, I see through her Blow it out and save all her ashes for me
Curse me sold her The poison that runs it's course through her Pale white skin with strawberry gashes all over all over
Watch me fault her You're living like a disaster She said kill me faster with strawberry gashes all over
Called her over and asked her if she was improving She said "feels fine" it's wonderful wonderful here
Hex me told her I dreamt of a devil that knew her Pale white skin with strawberry gashes all over all over
Watch me fault her You're living like a disaster She said kill me faster with strawberry gashes all over
I lay quiet waiting for her voice to say "Some things you lose and some things you just give away"
Scold me failed her If only I'd held on tighter to her Pale white skin that twisted and withered away from me away from me
Watch me lose her It's almost like losing myself Give her my soul and let them take somebody else get away from me
Watch me fault her You're living like a disaster She said kill me faster with strawberry gashes all over all over me [/glow] (Jack off Jill, Strawberry Gashes)

Take this Job and Shove it! (by Johnny Paycheck)
Take this job and shove it I ain't workin' here no more My woman done left and took all the reason I was working for Ya, better not try and stand in my way Cause I'm walkin', out the door Take this job and shove it I ain't working here no more
Well, I been working in this factory for now on fifteen years All this time, I watched my woman drownin' in a pool of tears And I've seen a lot of good folks die who had a lot of bills to pay I'd give the shirt right off of my back if I had the guts to say...
(Chorus)
The foreman, he's a regular dog the line boss, he's a fool Got a brand new flat top haircut Lord, he thinks he's cool One of these days I'm gonna blow my top and that sucker, he's gonna pay I can't wait to see their faces when I get the nerve to say...
(Chorus)
Take this job and shove it
