    She Made Toothpicks Of The Timber Of My Heart
    Composer(s): Sammy Mysels; Dick Sanford
    Performer(s): Homer & Jethro



    Fer a backwoods gal was she
    And fer choppin' down a tree
    She was handy with an ax and she was smart
    Oh but I should have passed her by
    When she waved and hollered hi
    She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart

    Well when whe promised to be mine
    I cut ninety logs of pine
    For a little cabin in our world of hearts
    All our dreams were heaven bound
    Till she tore that castle down
    She made toothpicks of the timber of my heartx

    She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
    She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
    Like a buzzsaw rips a pole
    She made sawdust of my soul
    She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart

    She was tall and she was limber
    And for timber she was fine
    But her lips were poison oak and turpentine
    She was cute and I was green
    Yes my darlin' lumber queen
    Twined me 'round her finger like a clingin' vine

    Now I hang around the shack
    Jist a lonesome lumberjack
    Mighta knowed her heart
    Was wooden from the start
    When she snatched away her charms
    There were splinters in my arms
    She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart

    She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
    She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart
    When she rolled me down that hill
    And she run me thru the mill
    She made toothpicks of the timber of my heart

    She Loved A Lot In Her Time
    Composer(s): Randy Boudreaux; Sam Hogin; Kim Williams
    Performer(s): George Jones



    I started drinking and actin' crazy
    Way back in '65
    Mama would pray and say he's my baby
    Lord please keep him alive

    Sister came home with two little children
    Her man had left her alone
    Mama knew too well the hurt she'd been feelin'
    'Cause Daddy'd been gone for so long

    We all did our part to add to her pain
    We all broke her heart but she never complained

    She loved a lot in her time
    She watched love grow and die on the vine
    She stood in the shadows
    So others could shine
    She loved a lot in her time

    Mama's prayers were answered a long time ago
    I ain't touched a drink in 10 years
    Sister remarried to a Good Ol' Boy
    They don't live far from here

    Mama's work is done
    Now she's gone on home...
    The words in our hearts
    Are engraved on her stone

    She loved a lot in her time
    She watched love grow and die on the vine
    She stood in the shadows
    So others could shine
    She loved a lot in her time

    She loved a lot in her time
    She watched love grow and die on the vine
    She stood in the shadows
    So others could shine
    She loved a lot in her time

    Mama, you loved a lot in your time

    Het is weer tijd om op te staan
    Maar ik heb geen zin (hij heeft geen zin)

    Ik heb geen zin om op te staan (ik heb geen zin om op te staan)

    She Likes It Too
    Composer(s): Tim Nichols; Zack Turner
    Performer(s): Alan Jackson



    I got my first motorcycle when I turned sixteen
    I remember my mama raisin cane with me
    She said, "Son tell me why you want to ride that thing"
    She didn't know about the blonde at the Dairy Queen

    I got my own reasons why I do what I do
    I like to ride motorcycles
    She likes it too
    I like to ride motorcycles
    She likes it too

    I always wore my hair just a little too long
    Daddy didn;t like it and he made no bones
    If I'd have gotten it cut like he wanted me to
    She wouldn't have had nothin left to run her fingers through

    I got my reasons why I do what I do
    I like to wear my hair long
    She likes it too

    I like to wear my hair long
    She likes it too

    I remember ridin' around with my buddies back home
    Listenin to some country on the radio
    When they tried to change the station to some rock 'n roll
    I'd turn the Opry up just as loud as it would go

    I got my reasons why I do what I do
    I like country music
    She likes it too

    I like country music
    She likes it too

    I got my own reasons
    Why I do what I do
    I know what I like
    She likes it too

    I know what I like
    She likes it too

    Yeah I know what I like
    And she likes it too

    She Lets Her Hair Down (Early In The Morning)
    Composer(s): Paul Vance; Leon Carr
    Performer(s): Gene Pitney; The Tokens



    She walks barefoot through the meadow early in the mornin'
    Early in the mornin' ev'ry day
    And she wakes up the sleepin' flowers early in the mornin'
    Early in the mornin' on the way

    And she lets her hair down when the sun comes up
    Yes, she lets her hair down
    And the morning glows bright with a newborn light
    Yes, the morning glows bright

    She goes walkin' past my window early in the mornin'
    Early in the mornin' on the way
    Some day I'll reach out and touch her early in the mornin'
    Early in the mornin' one fine day

    And I'll give her my love till the day I die
    Yes, I'll give her my love
    And the morning glows bright with a newborn light
    Yes, the morning glows bright

    She walks barefoot through the meadow early in the mornin'
    Early in the mornin' ev'ry day

    And the morning glows bright with a newborn light
    Yes, the morning glows bright

    And I'll give her my love till the day I die
    Yes, I'll give her my love

    And she lets her hair down when the sun comes up
    Yes, she lets her hair down

    And she lets her hair down when the sun comes up
    Yes, she lets her hair down

    She Knows All About Boys
    Composer(s): Merino
    Performer(s): David Cassidy



    She's like a shark in water
    moving through the city
    She's looking for a boy
    out to make a killing
    Wallet full of plastic
    pocket full of money
    she'll give a sign and he will call her honey

    She knows all about boys
    and all the boys can't leave that girl alone
    She knows all about boys
    and all the boys can't see that heart of stone

    Just a little lonely boy keeping for a lover
    he puts his heart out on the line more than he oughta
    He'll catch her eye
    she'll give him what he's after
    He don't know it but he's headed for a disaster
    She knows all about boys

    She's done nothing but be born with that look
    and a passion to please
    There ain't a boy she can't read like a book
    she can bring'em to their knees
    she can bring'em to their knees
    she gets ev'rything she needs
    she's like a shark in water
    moving through the city
    She's looking for a boy
    out to make a killing
    Wallet full of plastic
    pocket full of money
    she'll give a sign and he will call her honey

    She knows all about boys
    and all the boys can't leave that girl alone
    She knows all about boys
    and all the boys can't see that heart of stone

    She knows all about boys
    and all the boys can't leave that girl alone
    She knows all about boys
    and all the boys can't see that heart of stone

    She knows all about boys
    She knows all about boys
    She knows all about boys
    She knows all about boys

    She knows all about boys
    and all the boys can't leave that girl alone

    You looked like a princess the night we met
    With your hair piled up high
    I will never forget
    I'm drunk right now baby
    But I've got to be
    Or I never could tell you
    What you meant to me

    I loved you the first time I saw you
    And I always will love you Marie
    I loved you the first time I saw you
    And I always will love you Marie

    You're the song that the trees sing when the wind blows
    You're a flower you're a river you're a rainbow
    Sometimes I'm crazy
    But I guess you know
    And I'm weak and I'm lazy
    And I've hurt you so
    And I don't listen to a word you say
    When you're in trouble I just turn away

    I loved you the first time I saw you
    And I always will love you Marie
    I loved you the first time I saw you
    And I always will love you Marie

    She Is Still A Mystery
    Composer(s): John Sebastian
    Performer(s): The Lovin' Spoonful



    Remember hallways, you're waiting always
    To see behind the door
    You never seen her, you're gonna meet her
    The first time so unsure
    She smiles your way through a window
    You smile right back, she runs away
    You wish little girls would sit still
    just a little bit longer, longer

    And she's still a mystery to me
    I thought I'd grow up gracefully
    And understand my woman finally
    But the more I see
    The more I see there is to see, there is to see
    And she's still a mystery to me
    (She's still a mystery to me)
    She's still a mystery to me

    I used to wonder when in thunder
    Understandin's done
    But now I'm graspin' that understandin'
    Is only part of love
    She'll smile your way through a window
    You'll smile right back, she'll run away
    You wish little girls would sit still
    just a little bit longer, longer

    And she's still a mystery to me
    I thought I'd grow up gracefully
    And understand her finally
    But she's a mystery to me
    But she's a mystery to me ...

    I was really good to her but how she broke my heart
    She looked so young and she seemed so sweet but I was wrong from the start
    She has a way about her that makes her run around
    Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down

    Oh oh, oh oh

    I waited so impatiently it didn't do my mind any good
    I never thought she would set me free I did all the things that I should
    Then all at once I looked for her but she could not be found
    Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down

    Oh oh, oh oh

    I didn't think that I
    Could wait for her very long
    But I didn't realize
    My love for her was so strong

    She might be going from heart to heart she might be putting them down
    The way she took it all apart made me the laugh of the town
    She has a way about her that makes her run around
    Now I wonder if she'll ever wanna settle down

    Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

    She Had To Go And Lose It At The Astor
    Composer(s): Don Ray; Hugh Prince
    Performer(s): Johnny Messner
    and multiple other artists



    We'd like to tell you a story about a young girl
    about eighteen years old, about five feet two, and about to go out
    Now, her Mother, realising it was her first time out with a young man
    called her into the bedroom and said
    "Minnie, you're all dressed up in your finery, your very best clothes
    and you look beautiful, you're gorgeous, you're alluring (you look swell, baby)
    and now Minnie I want you to remember everything I've always told you
    and above all I want you to be very, very careful.....

    But she had to go and lose it at the Astor
    She didn't take her mother's good advice
    Now there aren't so many girls today who have one
    And she'd never let it go for any price

    They searched the place from penthouse to the cellar
    In every room and underneath each bed
    Once they thought they saw it lying on a pillow
    But they found it belonged to someone else instead

    But she had to go and lose it at the Astor
    She didn't know exactly whom to blame
    And she couldn't say just how or when she lost it
    She only knew she had it when she came

    They questioned all the bellboys and the porter
    The chef appeared to be the guilty guy
    And the doorman also acted quite suspicious
    But he coyly said, "I'm sure it wasn't I"

    But she had to go and lose it at the Astor
    It nearly killed her mother and her dad
    Now they felt as bad about the thing as she did
    After all it was the only one she had

    They just about completed all their searching
    When the chauffeur walked up with it in his hand
    All they did was stand and gape, there was Minnie's sable cape
    And she thought that she had lost it at the Astor

    She Got The Goldmine (I Got The Shaft)
    Composer(s): Tim DuBois
    Performer(s): Jerry Reed



    Well, I guess it was back in '63
    When eatin' my cookin' got the better of me
    So I asked this little girl I was goin' with to be my wife
    Well, she said she would, so I said, 'I do'
    But I'da said, 'I wouldn't' if I'da just knew how sayin' 'I do'
    Was gonna screw up all o' my life

    Well, the first few years weren't all that bad
    I'll never forget the good times we had
    'Cause I'm reminded every month when I send her the child support
    Well, it wasn't too long till the lust all died
    And I'll admit I wasn't too surprised
    The day I came home and found my suitcase sittin' out on the porch
    Well, I tried to get in, she changed the lock
    Then I found this note taped on the mailbox that said
    "Goodbye, turkey
    My attorney will be in touch"
    So I decided right then and there I was gonna do what's right
    Give 'er her fair share but, brother
    I didn't know her share was gonna be that much

    She got the goldmine (She got the goldmine)
    I got the shaft (I got the shaft)
    They split it right down the middle
    And then they give her the better half
    Well, it all sounds sorta funny
    But it hurts too much to laugh
    She got the goldmine, I got the shaft

    Now listen up
    You ain't heard nothin' yet
    Why, they give 'er the color televison set
    Then they give 'er the house, the kids and both of the cars
    See
    Well, then they started talkin' about child support, alimony
    And the costs to the court
    Didn't take me long to figure out how far in the toilet I was
    I'm tellin' ya, they have made a mistake
    'Cause it adds up to more than this cowboy makes
    Besides, everythin' I ever had worth takin' they've already took
    While she's livin' like a queen on alimony
    I'm workin' two shifts, eatin' baloney
    Askin' myself, "Why didn't you just learn how to cook?"

    They give her the goldmine (She got the goldmine)
    They give me the shaft (I got the shaft)
    They said they're splittin' it all down the middle
    But she got the better half
    Well, it all sounds mighty funny
    But it hurts too much to laugh
    She got the goldmine, I got the shaft

    Well, she got the goldmine (She got the goldmine)
    I got the shaft (I got the shaft)
    They split it all down the middle
    And then they give her the better half
    Well, I guess it all sounds funny
    (Ahh, ha ha ha)
    But it hurts too much to laugh
    She got the goldmine, I got the shaft

    Heh, heh. Hey, Jimmy, I got the shaft
    But I don't have to worry about totin' a billfold anymore
    Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
    I let my wife tote it
    I'm gonna be carryin' food stamps
    You get it, judge?
    I'm gonna be indebted
    That's my money
    Huh?
    Contempt of court?
    What do you mean I'm in contempt of court?

    She Finally Spoke Spanish To Me
    Composer(s): Butch Hancock
    Performer(s): Joe Ely



    Waiting for the train to France
    I hung my head in shame
    Feeling for all purposes like a
    man without a name
    Adios that's all she said
    I knew it had to be
    But she Finally Spoke Spanish to Me

    Life just passed by on the sly
    I tried to live mine over
    It's been a cold dark lonesome night
    On the White Cliffs of Dover
    Adios that's all she said
    It echoed across the sea
    But She Finally Spoke Spanish to Me

    Wine and dreams
    She blew the candle out
    I came to her for something
    I went away without
    Adios, that word will always haunt my memory
    But She Finally Spoke Spanish to Me

    I left my boots in Italy
    Souls wore out in Spain
    I left my guns in London Town
    Just smokin' in the rain

    Adios that's all she said
    I knew it had to be
    But She Finally Spoke Spanish to Me
    But She Finally Spoke Spanish to Me

    Wine and dreams
    She blew the candle out
    I came to her for something
    I went away without
    Adios, that word will always haunt my memory
    But She Finally Spoke Spanish to Me

    Oo-oo ooo ooo who-oooh!
    Oo-oo ooo ooo who-oooh!

    You're like
    Quicksand, quicksand
    Pulling me closer, closer
    In your arms
    Can't resist your loving charms
    You're like quicksand sinking me deeper
    In love with you

    The more I fight it
    The deeper in love I get
    Each time you hold me
    I feel nothing but happiness
    It's not safe loving you this way
    But from your arms I can't stay

    You're like
    Quicksand, quicksand, yeah
    Pulling me closer, closer
    Making me love you
    Need you
    (Deeper) Sinking me deeper, deeper
    In love with you

    (Musical Interlude)

    Oo-oo ooo ooo who-ooooh!

    (Deeper Deeper Deeper!
    In love with you)

    My heart is a prisoner
    Of your warm embrace
    I can't help, can't help myself
    Nothing can take your place
    When you say sweet things to me
    I start trembling from head to feet

    You're like
    Quicksand, quicksand, yeah
    Pulling me closer, closer
    A- just can't resist you
    A-just want to kiss you

    You're like quicksand, yeah!

    Oo-oo ooo ooo who-ooooh!

    Quicksand, quicksand, yeah
    Sinking me deeper
    Sinking me deeper
    I just can't resist you
    I just want to kiss you

    Oo-oo ooo ooo who-ooooh!

    First release by: Fine Young Cannibals - 1988
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I can't stop
    the way I feel
    Things you do
    don't seem real
    Tell you what I got in mind
    'cause we're runnin' out of time
    Won't you ever set me free?
    This waitin' 'rounds killin' me

    She drives me crazy
    like no one else
    She drives me crazy
    and I can't help myself

    I can't get
    any rest
    People say
    I'm obsessed
    Everything that's serious lasts
    But to me there's no surprise
    What I have, I knew was true
    Things go wrong, they always do

    She drives me crazy
    Like no one else
    She drives me crazy
    And I can't help myself

    I won't make it
    On my own
    No on likes,
    To be alone

    She drives me crazy
    Like no one else
    She drives me crazy
    And I can't help myself

    Uh huh huh

    She drives me crazy
    Like no one else
    She drives me crazy
    And I can't help myself

    Uh huh huh

    She drives me crazy
    Like no one else
    She drives me crazy
    And I can't help myself

    You're as hard to hold as quicksilver
    When you kiss and run away
    I dream you're mine and then as quick as quicksilver
    All my dreams are led astray

    I keep chasing you till I'm facing you
    And embracing you with all your charms
    Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver
    Right into someone else's arms

    Seems like I am havin' trouble with you
    And I don't know what I'm gonna do
    Seems like you're fickle, fickle as can be
    And your fickle ways have got me up a tree

    You're as hard to hold as quicksilver
    When you kiss and run away
    I dream you're mine and then as quick as quicksilver
    All my dreams are led astray

    I keep chasing you till I'm facing you
    And embracing you with all your charms
    Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver
    Right into someone else's arms

    Then you slip through my fingers just like quicksilver
    Right into someone else's arms

    She Drives Like Crazy
    (Adapted from: She Drives Me Crazy - 1988)
    Composer(s): Roland Gift; David Steele; "Weird Al" Yankovic
    Performer(s): "Weird Al" Yankovic - 1989



    Where'd you learn how to steer
    You do eighty in second gear
    When you drive, I can't relax
    Got your license from Cracker Jacks
    You just hit another tree
    These fender benders are killin' me

    She drives like crazy
    Like no one else
    She drives like crazy
    And I'm afraid for myself

    They'll put you behind bars
    We're not playin' bumper cars
    Did a great figure eight
    In the middle of the interstate
    Tires squeal wherever we go
    Even hitchhikers just say no

    She drives like crazy
    Her car's a mess
    She drives like crazy
    She's got a death wish I guess

    She's a demon
    Behind the wheel
    Thinks she's drivin'
    The Batmobile

    Burnin' rubber in school zones
    Runnin' over traffic cones
    Passin' "semi-"s on the right
    Now my knuckles are turnin' white

    She drives like crazy
    She'll break our necks
    She drives like crazy
    She always gets into wrecks

    She drives like crazy
    Like no one else
    She drives like crazy
    Now I'm afraid for myself

    She drives like crazy
    Like no one else
    She drives like crazy
    And I'm afraid for myself

    (Quicksilver Daydreams Of) Maria
    Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt
    Performer(s): Townes Van Zandt;
    Frenchy Burrito & The Folk Pistols



    Well, the diamond fades quickly
    when matched to the face of Maria
    All the harps they sound empty
    when she lifts her lips to the sky
    the brown of her skin makes her hair seem a soft golden rainfall
    that spills from the mountains to the bottomless depths of her eyes

    Well, she stands all around me her hands slowly sifting the sunshine
    all the laughter that linger down deep 'neath her smilin' is free
    Well, it spins and it twirls like a hummingbird lost in the morning
    and caresses the south wind and silently sails to the sea

    Ah, the sculpter stands stricken and the artist he throws away his brushes
    when her image comes dancin' the sun she turns sullen with shame
    And the birds they go silent the wind stops his sad mournful singing
    when the trees of the forest start gently to whisper'in her name

    So as softly she wanders I'll desperately follow her footsteps
    and I'll chase after shadows that offer a trace of her sight
    Ah, they promise eternally that she lays hidden within them
    but I find they've decieved me and sadly I bid them goodbye

    So the serpent slides softly away with these moments of laughter
    and the the old washy woman has finish her cleanin' and gone
    but the bamboo hang heavy in the bondage of quicksilver daydreams
    and a lonely child longingly looks for a place to belong
