Turn Around Composer(s): Carl Perkins First recording/First release: Carl Perkins - 1954/1955 Covered by multiple other artists
When you're all alone and blue And the world looks down on you Turn around, I'll be following you
When you feel that love is gone And you realize you're wrong Turn around, I'll be following you
Turn around, I'll be waiting behind you With a love that's real and never, ever dies If you feel your love will last And you like to live your past Turn around, I'll be following you
Maybe God will make you see That your love is still for me Turn around, I'll be following you
When you're in my arms again There will never be an end Turn around, I'll be following you
Turn around, I'll be waiting behind you With a love that's pure and never, ever dies If you feel your love will last And you like to live your past Turn around, I'll be following you

Tupelo Honey Composer(s): Van Morrison First release: Van Morrison - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
You can take all the tea in China Put it in a big brown bag for me Sail right around the seven oceans Drop it straight into the deep blue sea She's as sweet as tupelo honey She's an angel of the first degree She's as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee You can't stop us on the road to freedom You can't keep us 'cause our eyes can see Men with insight, men in granite Knights in armor bent on chivalry She's as sweet as tupelo honey She's an angel of the first degree She's as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee
You can't stop us on the road to freedom You can't stop us 'cause our eyes can see Men with insight, men in granite Knights in armor intent on chivalry She's as sweet as tupelo honey She's an angel of the first degree She's as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee
You know she's alright You know she's alright with me She's alright, she's alright (she's an angel)
You can take all the tea in China Put it in a big brown bag for me Sail it right around the seven oceans Drop it smack dab in the middle of the deep blue sea Because she's as sweet as tupelo honey She's an angel of the first degree She's as sweet as tupelo honey Just like honey from the bee
She's as sweet as tupelo honey She's an angel of the first degree She's as sweet as tupelo honey Just like the honey, baby, from the bee She's my baby, you know she's alright...
I'll tell a tale of old Manhattan Adirondack bus to go Standing waiting on my number And my number's gonna show

Tunnel Of Love Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Dire Straits
Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo and I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam and I don't know where I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am
in a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light she had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night I put a hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above and I'm just high on the world come on and take a low ride with me girl on the tunnel of love
it's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk she said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this it's just a cake walk twisting baby step right up and say hey Mister give me two give me two cos any two can play
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above and I'm just high on the world come on and take a low ride with me girl on the tunnel of love
well it's been money for muscle another whirligig money for muscle and another girl I dig another hustle just to make it big and rockaway rockaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did like the Spanish city to me when we were kids oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
she took off a silver locket she said remember me by this she put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss and in the roar of the dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay
and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above and I'm just high on the world come on and take a low ride with me girl on the tunnel of love
and now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades in any shooting gallery where promises are made to rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway
and girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did like the Spanish city to me when we were kids girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
I wanna love you like i never loved you tonight If it's alright I wanna tell you things I've never said in my life I'm gonna hold you when the sun refuses to shine I wanna show you that I'll always be by your side 0o0o0h
When you call my name And you need me there Girl you know that I will be waiting for you When you close your eyes And you see me there Don't you know that I will be waiting..
I wanna kiss you like I'll never kiss you again If it's okay I can't imagine loving any other this way o0o0oh
When you call my name and you need me there Girl you know that I will be waiting for you When you close your eyes And you see me there Don't you know that I will be waiting...
(when you call my name and you need me there girl you know that i will be waiting for you when you close your eyes and you see me there don't you know that i will be waiting..)
So what you wanna do I wanna-be-with you I know that you like my style So why don't you stay a while And when you want me to I'll wait for you...
Lord I got my questionnaire Uncle Sam's gonna send me away from here Lord I got my questionnaire Uncle Sam's gonna send me away from here He said J.B. you know that I need you Lord I need you in South Korea
Sweetheart please don't you worry I just begin to fly in the air Sweetheart please don't you worry I just begin to fly in the air Now the Chinese shoot me down Lord I'll be in Korea somewhere
I just sittin' here wonderin' who you gonna let lay down in my bed I just sittin' here wonderin' who you gonna let lay down in my bed What hurt me so bad think about some man has gone in your bed

I Take A Lot Of Pride In What I Am Composer(s): Merle Haggard First recording/First release by: Merle Haggard & The Strangers - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists
Things I learned in the hobo jungle Were things they never taught me in a class room Like where to find a hand out While thumbin' through Chicago in the afternoon
Hey, I'm not braggin' or complainin' I'm just talkin' to myself man to man This old mental fat I'm chewin' didn't take a lot o' doin' But I take a lot of pride in what I am
I guess I grew up a loner Don't remember ever havin' any folks around But I keep thumbin' through the phone books And lookin' for my Daddy's name in ev'ry town
And I meet lots of people But I always wind up leavin' on the lam Hey, where I've been or where I'm going didn't take a lot o' knowin' But I take a lot of pride in what I am
I never travel in a hurry 'Cause I got nobody waitin' for me anywhere Home is anywhere I'm livin' If it's sleepin' on some vacant bench in City Square
Or if I'm working on some road gang Or just livin' off the fat of our great land I never been nobody's idol, but at least I got a title And I take a lot of pride in what I am
This old mental fat I'm chewin' didn't take a lot o' doin' And I take a lot of pride in what I am Oh, where I've been or where I'm going didn't take a lot o' knowin' But I take a lot of pride in what I am
Krikkit's Song (Passing Through) Composer(s): Schmit Performer(s): Poco
Passing through I bring love to you Let me see your smile Though it seems so untrue, I'm standing Right here beside you Can I stay a while
I been too long feeling kinda low Help me to follow through From the start 'cause I can't seem to find a way to go Is it for me to know my mind In a place that holds no time For a little while 'cause soon we must part
Passing through I bring love to you Let me see your smile Though it seems so untrue, I'm standing Right here beside you Can I stay a while
Firefly dance for you and I, and don't go Leaving us hollow through From the start 'cause moonlight don't seem right When you're alone Is it for you to know my mind With a hope that you might find Me with you sometime But, soon we must part
Passing through I bring love to you Let me see your smile Though it seems so untrue, I'm standing Right here beside you Can I stay a while
Tumbling Tumbleweeds Composer(s): Bob Nolan First release: The Sons Of The Pioneers - 1934 Covered by multiple other artists
I'm a roaming cowboy riding all day long Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song Nights underneath the prairie moon I ride along and sing this tune
See them tumbling down Pledging their love to the ground Lonely but free I'll be found Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
Cares of the past are behind Nowhere to go but I'll find Just where the trail will wind Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds
I know when night has gone That a new world's born at dawn
I'll keep rolling along Deep in my heart is a song Here on the range I belong Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds

If I should stay I would only be in your way So I'll go, but I know I'll think of you every step of the way
I will always love you I will always love you
Bitter sweet memories That is all I'm taking with me So goodbye, please don't cry We both know I'm not wat you need
I will always love you I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind And I hope you have all you dreamed of And I wish you joy and happiness But above all this I wish you love
