It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around I'm lonely, as I can be I never knew how much I missed you but now I can plainly see
It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around How I wish you'd come back to me
I never knew how much I missed you but now I can plainly see It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around How I wish you'd come back to me How I wish you'd come back to me
Its A Lonely World Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Red Stewart Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Leon Redbone
Its a Lonely World when youre all alone When theres no one to share every sorrow and care When theres no one to greet you at the close of the day The sunshine may come in your heart but never comes to stay
Its a Lonely World when youre all alone Thats the way my world is since your gone
Theres no way to count the tears I have shed And nights Ive been blue here just thinking of you Everyone has told me darling I should forget But your still here in my heart and you know I love you yet
Its a Lonely World when youre all alone Thats the way my world is since your gone
Its a Lonely World when youre all alone When theres no one to share every sorrow and care When theres no one to greet you at the close of the day The sunshine may come in your heart but never comes to stay
Its a Lonely World when youre all alone Thats the way my world is since your gone
It's A Little Bitty Pissant Country Place Performer(s): Dolly Parton
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, ain't nothing much to see no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be It's just a piddly squatin old time country place, ain't nothing to hide at all just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on Nothing dirty going on
We get simple farmers Local business men Congress folks from Austin Young boys looking for sin And we used to get a lot of rough necks, when the oil boom was high but pay day would get a little rowdy, thank God the field ran dry
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on
I don't hire no married girl, they're not on the ball They got homes and husbands, they're not stable at all You know they don't understand a thing about a proper business day now what's the point in opening up the store if you give the goods away
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on
Keep your language clean girls, keep your bedrooms neat And don't hang around the town cafe and say hi on the street Mind you P's and Q's and manners, and you don't need no other tools Cause every girl that lives here knows my special no no rules
Yea every girl that lives here knows Miss Mona's no no rules
Ruby, Ray start up! Beds are not to be wallowed in, thats the kind of thing that big fatlazy hogs do And it don't make money!
Betrix! I won't tolerate no tying my telephone with other peoples business
Eloise honey! And please don't show us no tattoos no hearts and flowers on your thigh It's downright tacky
Brands for cattle and that ain't what we're selling at the Snowdust Do you catch my drift!
I pay the food and the rent and the utilities you keep your mind on your work responsibilities don't let your mouth overload your capabilities and we can get along
Dawn! Any bad habits you come in with, get rid off right now
Tatte Joe! I can't stand no chewing gum it looks just like a cow
Lindy Lue! Any one taking sick leave for to make real sure their sick
And every time you hear that bell, you better get here double quick
And as for pimps, pimps are something you don't need to get your daily business done Are you listening group Keep them leaches and blood suckers of the bathrobes, I know how to use a gun and nobody messes with my girls
and any questions you might have about the way I run this place don't grip and whine behind my back just tell me face to face, I'm open minded say it all then go upstairs and pack, the door's that way
She pays the food and the rent and the utilities we keep our minds on our work responsibilities don't let your mouth overload your capabilities and we can get along
It's just a little bitty pissant country place, nothing much to see no drinking allowed, we get a nice quiet crowd, plain as it can be It's just a piddly squatin no time country place, nothing to hide at all just lots of good will, and maybe one small thrill, but there's nothing dirty going on

Caroling, caroling now we go Christmas bells are ringing Caroling, caroling through the snow Christmas bells are ringing Joyous voices sweet and clear Sing the sad of heart to cheer Ding, dong, ding, dong, Christmas bells are ringing

It's A Jungle Out There Performer(s): Randy Newman
It's a jungle out there Disorder and confusion everywhere No one seems to care Well I do Hey, who's in charge here? It's a jungle out there Poison in the very air we breathe Do you know what's in the water that you drink? Well I do, and it's amazing People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time If you paid attention, you'd be worried too You better pay attention Or this world we love so much might just kill you I could be wrong now, but I don't think so! 'Cause it's a jungle out there

Hark! How the bells Sweet silver bells All seem to say Throw cares away
Christmas is here Bringing good cheer To young and old Meek and the bold
Ding dong ding dong That is their song With joyful ring All caroling
One seems to hear Words of good cheer From everywhere Filling the air
Oh, how they pound Raising the sound O'er hill and dale Telling the tale
Gaily they ring While people sing Songs of good cheer Christmas is here
All You Wanna Do Is Dance Composer(s): Billy Joel Performer(s): Billy Joel
Oh, baby you don't get turned on by the radio Oh, baby you got nothin' to play on your stereo "Why don't the Beatles get back together? Why don't nobody sing of romance? Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance
Oh, baby I think you are lost in the seventies Oh, baby the music she ain't what she used to be You don't understand what they're saying Givin' it ev'ry chance Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance
Well, you wish you were back in the good old days When tomatoes were cheaper And you never heard the words of your favorite songs Through a three inch speaker And you never messed around with dangerous drugs You were all getting sick on beer And you didn't get any unless you went steady and made out for a year
You can hide away honey in your rock 'n' roll dreams An' you can stand by your blue suede shoes But the party is over and I'm getting tired of waiting for you
Oh, baby where are the oldies they used to play Oh, baby you want to crawl back into yesterday You don't want to deal with the future You don't want to make any plans Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance Oh, baby, all you wanna do is dance

It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache Hits you when it's too late, hits you when you're down It's a fool's game, nothing but a fool's game Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache Love until your arms break, then he lets you down
It ain't right with love to share when you find he doesn't care for you It ain't wise to need someone as much as I depended on you
It's a heartache, nothing but a heartache Hits you when it's too late, hits you when you're down It's a fool's game, nothing but a fool's game Standing in the cold rain, feeling like a clown
It ain't right with love to share when you find he doesn't care for you It ain't wise to need someone as much as I depended on you

It's A Hard Life Wherever You Go Composer(s): Nanci Griffith Performer(s): Nanci Griffith and multiple other artists
I am a backseat driver from America They drive to the left on Falls Road The man at the wheel's name is Seamus We pass a child on the corner he knows And Seamus says,'Now, what chance has that kid got?' And I say from the back,'I don't know' He says,'There's barbed wire at all of these exits And there ain't no place in Belfast for that kid to go'
It's a hard life It's a hard life It's a very hard life It's a hard life wherever you go If we poison our children with hatred Then, the hard life is all they'll ever know And there ain't no place in (Belfast/Chicago/this world) for these kids to go
A cafeteria line in Chicago The fat man in front of me Is calling black people trash to his children He's the only trash here I see And I'm thinking this man wears a white hood In the night when his children should sleep But, they slip to their window and they see him And they think that white hood's all they need
It's a hard life It's a hard life It's a very hard life It's a hard life wherever you go If we poison our children with hatred Then, the hard life is all they'll ever know And there ain't no place in (Belfast/Chicago/this world) for these kids to go
I was a child in the sixties Dreams could be held through TV With Disney and Cronkite and Martin Luther Oh, I believed, I believed, I believed Now, I am a backstreet driver from America I am not at the wheel of control I am guilty, I am war I am the root of all evil Lord, and I can't drive on the left side of the road
It's a hard life It's a hard life It's a very hard life It's a hard life wherever you go If we poison our children with hatred Then, the hard life is all they'll ever know And there ain't no place in (Belfast/Chicago/this world) for these kids to go
It's A Hard Life Composer(s): Freddie Mercury Performer(s): Queen and multiple other artists
I don't want my freedom There's no reason for living with a broken heart
This is a tricky situation I've only got myself to blame It's just a simple fact of life It can happen to anyone
You win - you lose It's a chance you have to take with love Oh yeah - I fell in love And now you say it's over and I'm falling apart
It's a hard life To be true lovers together To love and live forever in each others hearts It's a long hard fight To learn to care for each other To trust in one another right from the start When you're in love
I try and mend the broken pieces I try to fight back the tears They say it's just a state of mind But it happens to everyone
How it hurts - deep inside When your love has cut you down to size Life is tough - on your own Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies And I'm waiting for love
Yes it's a hard life Two lovers together To love and live forever in each others hearts It's a long hard fight To learn to care for each other To trust in one another - right from the start When you're in love
Yes it's a hard life In a world that's filled with sorrow There are people searching for love in ev'ry way It's a long hard fight But I'll always live for tomorrow I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love
Love Makes You Feel Composer(s): Lou Reid Performer(s): Lou Reid
Life isn't what is seems, I'm forever drifting into dreams Such a sad affair, to always be drifting into air
But it's not what you say or you do that makes me feel like I am falling It's things that we've both been through that makes me feel like I am upside down
And love makes you feel ten foot tall
Yes, love makes you feel ten foot tall
Just a funny thing, I'm forever drifting into dreams Just not the proper thing, to always be drifting into dreams
But it's not what you say or you do that makes me feel like I am falling It's things that we've both been through that makes me feel like I am upside down
It's A Great Day To Be Alive Composer(s): Darrell Scott Performer(s): Travis Tritt and multiple other artists
I got rice cooking in the microwave Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say Hey, I'm doing alright Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup Feelin' pretty good and that's the truth It's neither drink nor drug induced No, I'm just doin' alright
And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes There's some hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good?
It's been fifteen years since I left home Said good luck to every seed I'd sown Give it my best and then I left it alone Oh I hope they're doin' alright Now I look in the mirror and what do I see? A lone wolf there starin' back at me Long in the tooth but harmless as can be Lord, I guess he's doin' alright
And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes There's some hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good?
Sometimes its lonely Sometimes its only me and The shadows that fill this room Sometimes I'm fallin', desperately callin' Howlin' at the moon
Well I might go get me a new tatoo or Take my old Harley for a three day cruise Might even grow me a fu man chu
And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes There's some hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good?
And it's a great day to be alive I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes There's some hard times in the neighborhood But why can't every day be just this good?
