Cowboy Boots Composer(s): Baker Knight First release by: Dave Dudley - 1963
Well all of my life I been a tryin' to save to get a pair of cowboy boots Sixteen years of my life I gave to get a pair of cowboy boots I wanna go where the money's free Hollywood is a callin' me Oh what a great big star I'll be in a pair of cowboy boots I'm gonna get on a TV show in a pair of cowboy boots I'm gonna ride in a rodeo in a pair of cowboy boots I wanna go where the family lurk I'm gonna get a job and go to work Givin' lessons to that Stony Burk in a pair of cowboy boots Oh give me a home where the swimmin' pools roam Where the money grows on trees the gals all wanna be squeezed Well I'm a gonna get there if I have to crawl in a pair of cowboy boots Get in the movies and that ain't all in a pair of cowboy boots I'm gonna get me a leather vest a gun on my hip and a star on my chest Well I'll be the terror of the Golden West in a pair of cowboy boots
Oh give me a home... In a pair of cowboy boots in a pair of cowboy boots in a pair of cowboy boots
Who Are You? Composer(s): Pete Townshend Performer(s): The Who
I woke up in a Soho doorway The policeman knew my name He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away" I staggered back to the underground The breeze blew back my hair I remembered throwing punches around And preaching from my chair
Who are you Hu, hu, hu, hu Who are you Hu, hu, hu, hu
I took the tube back out of town Home to the rolling pin I felt a little like a dying clown But with a streak of Rin Tin Tin I stretched back and I hiccuped Looked back on my busy day Eleven hours in the tin pan God there's got to be another way
Who are you Hu, hu, hu, hu Who are you Hu, hu, hu, hu
There's a place where I know you walked The love falls from the trees My heart is like a broken cup I only feel right on my knees I spill out like a sewer hole Yet still receive your kiss How can I measure up to anyone new After such a love as this
Who are you Hu, hu, hu, hu Who are you Hu, hu, hu, hu
Last Day In The Mines Composer(s): Jimmy Key Performer(s): Dave Dudley
For as long as I can remember I've worked down in this pit But today it's all over for this is the day I quit I'm gonna take my sweet little Ginny and make her my own We gonna move down in the valley and built ourselves a home This is the last day in the mines
Well I swing that pick move that shovel and time goes so slow I can hardly wait for my boss to tell me that it's time to go Up at the top I know my Ginny is waiting patiently In just a few minutes I'll be there with her and from the mines be free This is the last day in the mines
But wait a minute what's that rumble way back in the ground Good Lord it's a cave in and the rocks are a fallin' all around Now the timbers are breakin' and the rats are runnin' and I can hardly see Inside my chest there's a mighty burnin' and my strenght is leavin' me This is the last day in the mines
Beneath these rocks and timbers and with my strenght all gone My thoughts turn to Ginny I must leave her all alone I know they'll try to save me but they gonna be too late For over that river through that valley I see heaven's gates This is the last day in the mines Oh this is the last day in the mines this is the last day in the mines
Who Are We To Say? (Obey Your Heart) Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg; Gus Kahn Performer(s): Nelson Eddy; Doris Day; Jeanette MacDonald
Love may fill your heart with a strange delight Love may build a world that is new Love may leave your heart like a winter night No one knows just what love will do
Who are we to say Just what love will do? Love may live a day, or all life through
Who are we to say How a rose will grow It may fade away or bloom and blow
You and I may plan and scheme And every thing's arranged Then there comes a vagrant dream And all the world is changed!
Who are we to say When to say goodbye Or to wonder why we two must part So we live today loving while we may dear Knowing love would say Obey your heart
Who are we to say When to say goodbye Or to wonder why we two must part So we live today loving while we may dear Knowing love would say Obey your heart
All Funked Up Composer(s): Rick Medlocke - Jim Peterik - Gary Rossington - Hughie Thomasson - Johnny Van Zant Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd
Oooohhh....
Ahhhhhhhhh....
Tornados spinnin', I sit here grinnin' I think we've all seen this movie before This is confusin', almost amusin' It's hard to tell up and down anymore When did it get so crazy, how did we lose control Everybodies shouting, how bad it really sucks
Situation normal All funked up, We're all funked up
We had some leaders, and they were cheaters But they came out smelling like a rose We should reject them, but we respect them For what they do when the door is closed Nothing in this world a simple man can do Stand up and be counted, ain't you had enough
Situation normal All funked up, Yeah we're all funked up We're funtionally disfuntional We're funtionally yeah disfuntional We're all funked up
Uuughh....
Don't you know the meaning of the word snafu Better known as trouble for me and you Murphy's law will get ya, he's on his way Same ol' same ol' shit a different day
Uuughh.... Oh...
Tornados spinnin', I sit here grinnin' I think we've all seen this movie before This is confusin', almost amusin' It's hard to tell up and down anymore Everybodies shouting, how bad it really sucks
Situation normal All funked up, we're all funked up... We're all funked up... We're all funked up...
Who Am I? Composer(s): Jackie Trent; Tony Hatch Performer(s): Petula Clark
The buildings reach up to the sky The traffic thunders on the busy streets Pavement slips beneath my feet I walk alone and wonder "Who am I?"
I close my eyes and I can fly And I escape from all this worldly strife Restricted by routine of life But still I can't discover "Who am I?"
I long to wake up in the morning and find everything has changed And all the people that I meet don't wear a frown But every day is just the same, I'm chasing rainbows in the rain All the dreams that I believe in let me down
Maybe I'm reaching far too high For I have something else entirely free The love of someone close to me Unfettered by the world that hurries by
To question such good fortune, who am I?
I long to wake up in the morning and find everything has changed And all the people that I meet don't wear a frown But every day is just the same, I'm chasing rainbows in the rain All the dreams that I believe in let me down
Maybe I'm reaching far too high For I have something else entirely free The love of someone close to me Unfettered by the world that hurries by
Who Am I? Composer(s): Rusty Goodman Performer(s): Elvis Presley; and various other artists
When I think of how He came so far from glory Came to dwell among the lowly such as I To suffer shame and such disgrace On Mount Calvary take my place Then I ask myself this question Who am I?
Who am I that The King would bleed and die for Who am I that He would pray not my will, thine Lord The answer I may never know Why He ever loved me so But to that old rugged cross He'd go For who am I?
When I'm reminded of His words I'll leave Him never If you'll be true I'll give to you life forever Oh I wonder what I could have done To deserve God's only Son To fight my battles until they're won For who am I?
Who am I that The King would bleed and die for Who am I that He would pray not my will, thine Lord The answer I may never know Why He ever loved me so But to that old rugged cross He'd go For who am I? But to an old rugged cross He'd go For who am I?

Who, when my life is through? Who will know the joy I have known with you? Who will touch your face? Sleep in your embrace? Who will take my place When I sleep alone?
Who, when the day is done? Who will hold the hand Of my only one? Who will climb the heights? Finding in your nights All those wild delights Only I have known
You say you'll always love me Time has another claim Why do the gods above me Play the cynical game?
Oh, life, isn't what it seems Fickle as the wind Fragile as a dream When I end my years Who will ease my pain? Kiss away my tears? And bury me again?
All For The Love Of Sunshine Composer(s): Mike Curb - Harley Hatcher - Lalo Schifrin Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr. and multiple other artists
The darkness of my world was all cleared away The flowers are blooming it's a beautiful day There's a girl with a heart as big as the sky she's sunshine and I know why All for the love of sunshine all for the love of sunshine The Lord smiled down on this life of mine and sent me the love of sunshine
Though sunshine can always make my days seem bright Sunshine can warm up a cold cold night I know my sunshine was sent from above an angel that's filled with love All for the love of sunshine...
Through winter the springtime the summer and fall The moonlight the starlight she outshines them all In a world filled with fear with pain and such harm my sunshine can't be so warm All for the love of sunshine... All for the love of sunshine... All for the love of sunshine...

Thy people shall be my people, my love Whither thou goest I will go To love and be loved is part of living The story is told in many ways The love in each heart is there for giving True as these words I now say Thy people shall be my people, my love Where ever thou goest I will go For as in that story long ago The same sweet love story now is so Thy people shall be my people, my love Whither thou goest I will go Whither thou goest I will go

All For Leyna Composer(s): Billy Joel Performer(s): Billy Joel; Michael Cavanaugh
She stood on the tracks Waving her arms Leading me to that third rail shock Quick as a wink She changed her mind
She gave me a night That's all it was What will it take until I stop Kidding myself Wasting my time
There's nothing else I can do 'Cause I'm doing it all for Leyna I don't want anyone new 'Cause I'm living it all for Leyna There's nothing in it for you 'Cause I'm giving it all to Leyna
We laid on the beach Watching the tide She didn't tell me there were rocks Under the waves Right off the shore Washed up on the sand Barely alive Wishing the undertow would stop How can a man take anymore
There's nothing else I can do 'Cause I'm doing it all for Leyna I don't want anyone new 'Cause I'm living it all for Leyna There's nothing in it for you 'Cause I'm giving it all to Leyna
I'm failing in school Losing my friends Making my family lose their minds I don't want to eat I don't want to sleep I only want Leyna one more time
Now I'm in my room Watching the tube Telling myself she still may drop Over to say She's changed her mind
So, I wait in the dark Listening for her, Instead of my old man saying stop... Kidding yourself, Wasting your time
There's nothing else I can do 'Cause I'm doing it all for Leyna I don't want anyone new 'Cause I'm living it all for Leyna There's nothing in it for you 'Cause I'm giving it all to Leyna
