Every Little Kiss Composer(s): Bruce Hornsby Performer(s): Bruce Hornsby; Sara Evans
Way out here, working on the docks Everyone sees the long day through Well what would I do without the nights and the phone And the chance just to talk to you What wouldn't I do now... Just to talk to you A thousand miles away What I wouldn't give for only one night Little relief in sight Someday when times weren't so tight
Chorus When the day goes down on the water town When the sun sinks low all around That's when I know I need you now You're what I miss Every little kiss Every little one, oh, every little one
Everybody here's a number, not a name But I guess that's all right with me As I sit alone after a long day In the absence of company Oh I let my mind wander... A thousand miles away What I wouldn't give for only one night Little relief in sight Someday when times weren't so tight
I'm Gonna Live The Life Composer(s): Nina Hagen; Brian Liesegang Performer(s): Nina Hagen
I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song I'm going to stand for right And always shun the wrong If I'm in the crowd Or if I'm alone On the street or in my home I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song
Every day, everywhere On that busy thoroughfare Folk may watch me, some may spot me Say I'm foolish, but I don't care I can't sing one thing And then live another Be a saint by day And a devil undercover I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song
I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song I'm going to stand for right And always shun the wrong If I'm in the crowd Or if I'm alone On the street or in my home I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song, yes!
Every day, every night I must always walk in the light Some mistake me, underrate me Because I want to do what's right I can't go to church And shout all day Sunday Go out and get drunk And raise's all day monday (?) I've got to live the life I sing about in my song
I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song I'm going to live the life I sing about in my song

I'm gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell Tap on your window too If you don't come out tonight when the moon is bright I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do
I'm gonna knock on your door, call out your name Wake up the town, you'll see I'm gonna hoot, hoot and howl like a lovesick owl Until you say you're gonna come out with me

Every Fool Has A Rainbow Composer(s): Merle Haggard Performer(s): Merle Haggard; The Strangers
Every fool has a rainbow But he never seems to find The reward that should be waiting At the end of the line But he'll give up a bed of roses for A life filled with thorns And go chasing after rainbows Everytime the dream is born And every fool has a rainbow that only he can see Every fool has a rainbow and the rule replies to me And every fool has a rainbow that only he can see Every fool has a rainbow and the rule replies to me
Every Day Is A New Day Composer(s): Malik Pendelton; Juanita Wynn; Tracey Anderson Performer(s): Diana Ross
Every day is a new day Since you went away
Since you went away from me My whole life has made a change Every day's a new day and I see It was best for you and me
Since you went away from me My whole life has made a change Every day's a new day Since you went away from me
You were my comfort zone I depended on you for everything I wanted in my life, yes I did
But now that you're gone I'm doing just fine without you How I bless the day you went away
Now I have a song inside The birds sing to me I finally can be Free to spread my wings in harmony
Now the sun shines on me I have been set free To collect my thoughts and jot them down All this happiness I've found Since you've been away
Since you went away from me My whole life has made a change Every day's a new day and I see It was best for you and me
Since you went away from me My whole life has made a change Every day's a new day Since you went away from me
It may sound crazy, but I forgive you And want the best for you The circumstances came my way Now I've learned to do for myself And all the things I thought That you would do for me Like leaving me alone To go for my own When you're not at home I'm glad you're gone
Now I have a song inside The birds sing to me I finally can be Free to spread my wings in harmony
Now the sun shines on me I have been set free To collect my thoughts and jot them down All this happiness I've found
Since you went away from me My whole life has made a change Every day's a new day and I see It was best for you and me
Since you went away from me My whole life has made a change Every day's a new day Since you went away from me
Since you went away from me My whole life has made a change Every day's a new day and I see It was best for you and me How I bless that day
Since you went away from me My whole life has made a change Every day's a new day Since you went away from me
Every day
Since you went away from me My whole life has made a change Every day's a new day and I see It was best for you and me
Since you went away from me My whole life has made a change Every day's a new day Since you went away from me
I'm Gonna Hire A Wino To Decorate Our Home Composer(s): DeWayne Blackwell Performer(s): David Frizzell
I came crawling home last night, like many nights before I finally made it to my feet as she opened up the door And she said, "You're not gonna do this anymore"
She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall And a neon sign, to point the way to our bathroom down the hall"
She said, "Just bring your Friday paycheck, and I'll cash them all right here And I'll keep on tap, for all your friends, their favorite kinds of beer And for you, I'll always keep in stock, those soft aluminum cans And when you're feeling macho, you can crush them like a man"
She said, "We'll rip out all the carpet, and put sawdust on the floor Serve hard boiled eggs and pretzels, and I won't cook no more There'll be Monday night football on T.V. above the bar And a pay phone in the hallway, when your friends can't find their car"
She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall And a neon sign, to point the way to our bathroom down the hall"
She said, "You'll get friendly service, and for added atmosphere I'll slip on something sexy, and I'll cut it clear to here Then you can slap my bottom every time you tell a joke Just as long as you keep tipping, well, I'll laugh until you're broke"
She said, "Instead of family quarrels, we'll have a bar-room brawl When the Ham's bear say's its closing time, you won't have far to crawl And when you run out of money, you'll have me to thank You can sleep it off next morning, when I'm putting it in the bank"
She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home So you can feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam When you and your friends get off from work, and have a powerful thirst There won't be any reason, why you can't stop off here first"
She said, "I'm gonna hire a wino to decorate our home So you'll feel more at ease here, and you won't have to roam We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall And a neon sign, to point the way to our bathroom down the hall"

Every Day Another Hair Turns Grey Composer(s): Mike Hugg Performer(s): Manfred Mann
In her house, happy she seems But she's living on mem'ries and dreams How she dearly longs to recover Her life when she was a young mother And ev'ry day another hair turns grey Yes, ev'ry day another hair turns grey
In her house as mother and wife She was leading an ordin'ry life Now she finds so much is missing Gone is the love, the laughter and kissing And ev'ry day another hair turns grey Yes, ev'ry day another hair turns grey
Her children are all married now She misses so the noise and row That children make.... (Sound of children playing)
In her house she looks to the past When first married, the loving was fast And her husband, once a good lover Now he seems to be more like a brother And ev'ry day another hair turns grey Yes, ev'ry day another hair turns grey
And ev'ry day another hair turns grey Yes, ev'ry day another hair turns grey
I'm Gonna Go Fishin' Composer(s): Duke Ellington; Peggy Lee Performer(s): Peggy Lee and multiple other artists
Woke up this morning Wanting to cry Then I remember Yes I know why She's a real good one for having her cake I'm gonna go fishing or jump in the lake
Yeah, I'm gonna go fishing That's what I'll do Think about nothing Not even you Catch a real big one, a big speckled trout Snapping in the water I'll pull him on out
Sweet talking liar Spin me a yarn Tell me a story Big as a barn Don't stop listening I won't hear you out I'm gonna go fishing and catch me a trout
If a gal is a liar A gal is a fool Playing for keepers and breaking the rules She'll be the loser, yet to find out I'm gonna go fishing and catch me a trout
Here in the water Look at him shine There goes a big one That one is mine Catch up the reel now, I've got the feel now Hooked onto my fly rod I've got me a trout
Sweet talking liar You're in for a fall You tell me a story You cut to the wall Don't go my way, I'm down the highway I'm gonna go fishing... Yes I'm gonna go fishing... Yes I'm gonna go fishing and get me some trout
I'm Gonna Get Married Composer(s): Harold Logan; Lloyd Price Performer(s): Lloyd Price
(Johnny, Johnny, Johnny) (Johnny, you're too young) But I'm gonna get married (You're so young) My name she'll carry (You're too young, and Johnny, you're so smart) But not smart enough to hide an aching heart
How come my heart deserts me, burning full of love and desire? How come every time she kisses me, it sets my soul on fire? How come every time she leaves me, it seems like I've lost a part? I may be too young to marry but not to hide an aching heart
(Johnny, you're too young) But I'm gonna get married (You're so young) My name she'll carry (You're too young, and Johnny, you're so smart) But not smart enough to hide an aching heart
How come every time she kisses me, it thrills me from head to toe? How come every time I see her, it lifts me right off the floor? How come every time I'm with her she whispers so soft and low? It makes me want to jump and holler and bump my head into a door
(Johnny, you're too young) But I'm gonna get married (You're so young) My name she'll carry (You're too young, and Johnny, you're so smart) But not smart enough to hide an aching heart
(Too young) But I'm gonna get married (You're so young) My name she'll carry (You're too young) But I'm gonna get married (You're so young) My name she'll carry (You're too young)
Every Breath You Take Composer(s): Sting Performer(s): The Police
Every breath you take Every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take I'll be watching you
Every single day Every word you say Every game you play Every night you say I'll be watching you
O can't you see You belong to me How my poor heart aches With every step you take
Every move you make Every vow you break Every smile you fake Every claim you stake I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I been lost without a trace I dream at night I can only see your face I look around but it's you I can't replace I feel so cold and I long for your embrace I keep crying baby, baby, please
O can't you see You belong to me How my poor heart aches With every breath you take
Every move you make Every vow you break Every smile you fake Every claim you stake
Every move you make Every step you take I'll be watching you
