Redneck Woman - Gretchen Wilson

Well, I ain't never
Been the Barbie doll type,
No, I can't swig that sweet champagne,
I'd rather drink beer all night.
In a tavern,
Or in a honky-tonk,
Or on a four-wheel-drive tailgate.
I've got posters on my wall of
Skynard, Kid, and Strait.
Some people look down on me,
But I don't give a rip.
I'll stand barefooted in my own front yard,
With a baby on my hip.
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm a redneck woman
And I ain't no high class broad.
I'm just a product of my raisin',
And I say, 'Hey y'all, and hee haw.'
I keep my Chirstmas lights on on my front porch all year long.
And I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song.

My Life - Billy Joel

Vs.1 Got a call from an old friend,
We used to be real close.
Said he couldn't go on the American way.
Closed the shop, sold the house,
Bought a ticket to the West Coast,
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
(chorus)
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright.
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home.
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life.
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone.
Vs.2 I never said you had to offer me a second chance,
I never said I was a victim of circumstance.
I still belong, don't get me wrong.
And you can speak you mind,
But not on my time.

They will tell you you can't sleep alone
In a strange place.
Then they'll tell you you can't sleep

Believe in Me

Vs.1 It doesn't matter what I say,
You always take my words and twist 'em around.
No one really cares about my day,
I just want someone to believe me now.
{Because they never, ever listen to me.
They never, ever leave me be.}
(chorus)
Believe in me,
It doesn't matter if I'm wrong or right.
You really shouldn't argue with me or fight.
Trust in me,
You should listen to anything I say.
I tell you, it would really make my day.
I just want you to please believe,
Believe in me.
Vs.2 Those people out there don't really care,
Can't let 'em fool ya, or you'll end up getting hurt.
Don't go near 'em, I wouldn't dare,
I know how it feels to get treated like dirt.
{Because they never, ever listen to me.

Ice Cold Sweet Tea

vs.1 As I sit on the bench beside our tree,
I can't help but think about you and me.
As the wind picks up and blows my hair,
I can't help but wish that you were there
~Holding my hand, holding me close,
Telling me I'm what you love the most~
(chorus)
But now I'm sitting by myself,
Trying not to cry,
No one else could cheer me up,
No matter how hard they try.
I've lost you to someone else,
And my heart is on my sleeve.
If there's one thing I miss the most,
It's our ice cold sweet tea.
vs.2 Even though it's hard on my heart,
To think about what you did to tear me apart,
I don't regret the feelings I had for you,
But I wish that I could forget those, too.
~Holding my hand, holding me close,

You Said...

1. You said I was beauty in your eyes,
Like a diamond sparklin' on a ring.
You also said that I was like a flower,
Growin' tall and pretty in the spring.
You said my eyes were ocean blue,
And that they were as gorgeous as the sky.
You mentioned that my heart was full of many colors,
I hate to say these words, but, 'Good-bye.'
(Chorus)
Why, oh, why do you have to leave?
Can't you stay a longer time?
Why, oh, why do you have to go right now?
You're priceless, but yet more than a dime.
Why, oh, why do I have to let you go?
Can't we stay together forever?
Why, oh, why do you have to go away?
My heart is broken forever and ever.
2. You said I was the only girl in your life.
I thought you were tellin' the truth 'cause I trusted you.
But when I saw you with that other girl,

First 4 Stanzas of MY VERSION of 'The Raven' by E. A. Poe

Once upon a bright spring morning, while I pondered about the heat,
Over many a splendid and soothing volume of forgotten sound,
While I nodded, nearly speechless, suddenly there came a knocking.
As of someone gently tapping, tapping at my house all around.
' 'Tis some visitor, ' I whispered, 'tapping at my house all around-
Only this, 'twas all I found.'

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the sparkling April,
And each separate blooming flower circled the room round.
Eagerly, I wished for more- I had to try to find
A dog of some sort that could hunt- maybe something like a hound-
For the rare and radiant maiden so she could have a hound-
Nothing else that I had found.

And the vibrant, vibrating uncertain rustling of each blue curtain
Thrilled me-filled me with fantastic elation never felt before;
So that now, to still the fast beats of my heart, I stood saying
' 'Tis some visitor trying to come in at my door weighing a pound-
Some late visitor trying to come on at my door weighing a pound-
This it is, it was all I found.'

7 Things-Miley Cyrus

Vs.1 I probably shouldn't say this,
But at times I get so scared,
When I think about the previous
Relationship we've shared.
It was awesome, but we lost it,
It's not possible for me not to care.
And now we're standing in the rain,
But nothing's ever gonna change until you hear, my dear,

The 7 things I hate about you.

[Chorus]
The 7 things I hate about you, (oh you) .
You're vain, your games, you're insecure,
You love me, you like her,
You make me laugh, you make me cry.
I don't know which side to buy.
Your friends, they're jerks,
And when you act like them, just know it hurts.
I wanna be with the one I know,

Alright - Darius Rucker

Alright, alright
Yeah, it's alright, alright

I don't need no five star reservations,
I got spaghetti and a cheap bottle of wine.
I don't need no concert in the city,
I got a stereo and the 'Best Of Patsy Cline'.

Ain't got no caviar, no Dom Perignon,
But as far as I can see I got everything I want.

'Cause I got a roof over my head,
The woman I love layin' in my bed,
And it's alright, alright.

I got shoes under my feet,
Forever in the aisle staring back at me,
And it's alright, alright.

Yeah, I got all I need,

Cowboy Casanova - Carrie Underwood

OOOOOOOH.
You better take it from me,
That boy is like a disease.
You're runnin' you're tryin',
You're tryin' to hide,
And you're wonderin' why
You can't get free.
He's like a curse, he's like a drug,
You get addicted to his love.
You wanna get out,
But he's holdin' you down,
'Cause you can't live without
One more touch.
(chorus)
He's a good time
Cowboy casanova,
Leanin' up against the record machine.
He looks like
A cool drink of water,
But he's candy-coated misery.

Wild at Heart - Gloriana

Down a back road,
Long, hot summer,
A couple kids runnin' loose and wild.
He kissed her,
She said mister,
Take an inch and I'll give you a mile.

I ain't here to do anything half-way,
Don't give a dang what anyone might say,
I just wanna free fall for a while.

That rebel moon is shinin',
Those stars burn like diamonds,
Heck bent on chasin' down that crazy spark(slide) .
I'll follow you where you're leading,
To the first sweet taste of freedom,
You got me runnin' baby,
Wild at heart.

About midnight, he tells her,
