All The Best
Composer(s): John Prine
First release by: John Prine - 1991
Covered by multiple other artists



I wish you love and happiness
I guess I wish you all the best
I wish you don’t do like I do
And ever fall in love with someone like you
'Cause if you fell just like I did
You’d probably walk around the block like a little kid
But kids don’t know they can only guess
How hard it is to wish you happiness

I guess that love is like a Christmas card
You decorate a tree you throw it in the yard
It decays and dies and the snowmen melt
Well I once knew love I knew how love felt
Yeah I knew love love knew me
And when I walked love walked with me
And I got no hate and I got no pride
Well I got so much love that I cannot hide

Say you drive a Chevy say you drive a Ford
You say you drive around the town till you just get bored
Then you change your mind for something else to do
And your heart gets bored with your mind and it changes you
Well it’s a doggone shame and it’s an awful mess
I wish you love I wish you happiness
I wish you love I wish you happiness
I guess I wish you all the best

Composer(s): George Wise; Hugo Peretti; Luigi Creatore
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



A rose grows wild in the country
A tree grows tall as the sky
The wind blows wild in the country
And part of the wild, wild country, am I
Wild, wild, like the deer and the dove
Wild and free is this land that I love

A dream grows wild in the country
A love grows tall as the sky
A heart beats wild in the country
And here with a dream in my heart
Part of the wild, wild country, am I

Performer(s): Fats Waller

A man works hard, then comes on home
Expects to find stew with that fine ham bone
He opens the door then start to lookin'
Says, "Woman, what's this stuff you're cookin'?"

All that meat, and no potatoes
Just ain't right, like green tomatoes
Yeah, I'm waiting, palpatatin'
But all that meat, and no potatoes

All that meat, and no potatoes
All that food, to the alligators, yeah
Hold me steady, I am ready
With all that meat and no potatoes

I don't think that peas are bad
With me, most anything goes
I look in the pot, I'm fit to fight
'Cause woman, you know that mess ain't right

All that meat, and no potatoes
Just ain't right, like green tomatoes
Yes, I'm steamin', I'm really screamin'
All that meat and no potatoes

(Where's my fine hambone? Where is it?

Wild Horses
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



Childhood living is easy to do 
The things you wanted I bought them for you 
Graceless lady you know who I am 
You know I can't let you slide through my hands 

Wild horses couldn't drag me away 
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away 

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain 
Now you decided to show me the same 
No sweeping exits or offstage lines 
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind 

Wild horses couldn't drag me away 
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away 

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie 
I have my freedom but I don't have much time 
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried 
Let's do some living after we die 

Wild horses couldn't drag me away 
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day 

Wild horses couldn't drag me away 
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

All That Matters
Performer(s): Cliff Richard



The love in you and the love in me, is all that matters 
All the rest is vanity 
That time will shatter 
The only treasure in the life we live, is the measure of the love we give 
All that matters in the end will be 
The love in you and the love in me, that's all that matters 

Every heart must change it's shape 
To fit the space a lifetime makes 
Some regrets and some mistakes 
We touch happiness but we can't hold her 
Feelings come and then disappear 
I know the laughter, I've cried those tears 
I should know better after all these years 
But I'm no wiser, I'm just older 

It's all a question of priority 
We've got so much that we just don't need 
But if it ain't got love then it's luxury 
We can learn to live without it 

Wild Horses
Composer(s): Roy Freeland; Gino Vannelli
Performer(s): Gino Vannelli



As the sun goes down on the arizona plain
and the wind whistles by like a runaway train
hey hey hey it's a beautiful thing
well it's me and you and a flatbed truck
my heart kicking over like a whitetail buck
hey hey hey in the middle of spring

You can cut me deep
you can cut me down
you can cut me loose 
don't you know it's okay
you can kick and scream
you can slap my face
you can set my wheels on a high speed chase
hey no matter what you do

Wild horses could not drag me away from you
Wild horses could not drag me away from you

As the sky falls down from the midnight blue
spittin' like bullets on a hot tin roof
hey hey hey it's a beautiful sound
well it's me and you in a flatbed truck
in a foot of mud just my luck
hey hey hey a hundred miles out of town

You can call me a fool
you can call me blind
you can call it quits
can't hear a word you say
cause if I had you once
I'm gonna have you twice
I'm gonna follow my heart instead of good advice
hey no matter what you do

Wild horses could not drag me away from you
Wild horses could not drag me away from you

All That Keeps Me Goin'
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Bill Anderson



All that keeps me goin'
Is knowin' that you love me and you're mine
All that keeps me goin'
Is knowin' you're gonna see me through troubled times

This morning when I woke up that ole sun didn't wanna shine
So I just laid back and let your mem'ry fell down across my mind
And suddenly it was yesterday and I was lying in your arms
And somehow just the thought of you turned my world on and made me warm

All that keeps me goin'...
All that keeps me goin'...

Wild Child
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): Lou Reed



I was talkin' to Chuck in his Genghis Khan suit
and his wizard's hat
He spoke of his movie and how he was makin'
a new sound track

And then we spoke of kids on the coast
and different types of organic soap
And the way suicides don't leave notes
Then we spoke of Lorraine
always back to Lorraine

I was speakin' to Phil who was given to pills
and small racing cars
He had given them up since his last crack-up
had carried him too far

Then we spoke of the movies and verse
and the way an actress held her purse
And the way life at times can get worse
Then we spoke of Lorraine
always back to Lorraine

Ah, she's a wild child
and nobody can get at her
She's a wild child
oh, and nobody can get to her

Sleepin' out on the street
Oh, livin' all alone
without a house or a home
and then she asked you, please
hey, baby, can I have some spare change
Oh, can I break your heart?

She's a wild child, she's a wild child

I was talkin' to Betty about her auditions
how they made her ill
But life is the theater, is certainly fraught
with many spills and chills

But she'd come down after some wine
which is what happens most of the time
Then we sat and both spoke in rhymes
Till we spoke of Lorraine
ah, always back to Lorraine

I was talking to Ed who'd been reported dead
by mutual friends
He thought it was funny that I had no money
to spend on him

So we both shared a piece of sweet cheese
and sang of our lives and our dreams
And how things can come apart at the seams
And we talk of Lorraine
always back to Lorraine

She's a wild child
oh, and nobody can get at her
She's a wild child
oh, and nobody can get to her

Sleepin' out on the street
Oh, livin' all alone
without a house or a home
and then she asked you, please,
oh, baby, can I have some spare change
Now can I break your heart?"

She's a wild child, she's a wild child

All That Is My Own
Composer(s): Nico 
First release by: Nico - 1970



Your winding winds stood so
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed

Every child will be able to weep
Every wise man spoke of him
Every keeper will be sleeper
And a guide to ways unsure

Your winding winds did sow
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul
I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed

He who knows may pass on
The word unknown
And meet me on the desertshore
Meet me on the desertshore

Your winding winds did sow
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul
I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed

He who knows may pass on
The word unknown
And meet me on the desertshore
Meet me on the desertshore
Meet me on the desertshore

Your winding winds stood so
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul
I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed

He who knows may pass on the word I know
And meet me on the desertshore
Meet me on the desertshore

Your winding winds did sow
All that is my own
Where land and water meet
Where on my soul
I sit upon my bed
Your ways have led me to bleed

Wild Bill Jones
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Stanley Brothers;
and various other artists



As I went down for to take a little walk 
I came upon that Wild Bill Jones 
He was a walkin’ and a talkin’ by my true lover’s side 
And I bid him to leave her alone 

He said my age is twenty-one 
Too old to be controlled 
I pulled my revolver from my side 
And I destroyed that poor boy’s soul 

He reeled and he staggered, and he fell to the ground 
And then he gave one dying moan 
He wrapped his arms around my little girl’s neck 
Saying honey won’t you take me home 

So put them handcuffs on me boys 
And lead me to that freight car gate 
I have no friends or relations there 
No-one for to go my bail 

So pass around that old long necked bottle 
And we’ll all go on a spree 
For today was the last of that Wild Bill Jones 
And tomorrow will be the last of me 

They sent me to prison for twenty long years 
This poor boy longs to be free 
But Wild Bill Jones and that long-necked bottle 
Have been the ruin of me

All That I Need
Composer(s): Blind Melon
Performer(s): Blind Melon



All that I need is the air that I breathe
And all that I need are things I don't need
And all that really matters is what matters to me
And who of you are like me

If I was to smile and I held out my hand
If I opened it now would you not understand
Because you know if I'm to benefit I'll do everything that I can
And who of you are like me

It will make you feel good, over my shoulder
It'll get me down and got me tied up
'Till I grow older, but feel me inside of you
Like you want it to

But is it just the pains in your head
That are thrilling me
Another life's falling down onto it's knees
But I'll never smile the way, that I did like that day

Everything will be Okay
Everything will be Okay
It'll be Okay

Dr. Frank-N-Furter:
My my my

Your heart'll pump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sounds rock on
We're gonna shake it 'til the life has gone
Rose tint my world
Keep me safe from my trouble and pain

I'm your new commander
You now are my prisoner
We return to Transylvania
Prepare the transit beam

Wild And Blue
Composer(s): John Scott Sherrill

Way across town, a phone rings off the wall
If you know he ain't home, why do you keep callin'
You're gonna drive yourself crazy and you know that it's true
It's making you wild and blue

Chorus:
Wild and blue, it's no wonder
Look at the things that you do 
They could take you up to yonder, honey
You're already wild and blue

In somebody's room on the far side of town
With your mind all made up and the shades all pulled down
Someone is trying to satisfy you
He don't know you're wild and you're blue

Chorus
It's four in the mornin' and you're all alone
With no place to go why don't you come home
I'll be right here, baby, waitin' for you
I know you've been wild and blue

All summer long we were happy we were one
We didn’t think of an ending to our play
All summer long nights of wine, days of song
It couldn’t last, our ageing sun had to go
I will always remember you

Watching the waves in the wind
The beach dogs hiding from the rain
Suddenly my colours have turned to grey
Will I ever see your face again

And all winter long I will walk my lonely road
Waiting for you and your return
I will always remember you

Composer(s): Mike Chapman; Nicky Chinn
Performer(s): The Sweet



Hiawatha didn't bother too much
'Bout Minnie Ha-Ha and her tender touch
Till she took him to the silver stream
Then she whispered words like he had never heard
That made him all shudder inside when she said
Wig-wam bam, gonna make you my man
Wam bam bam, gonna get you if I can
Wig-wam bam, wanna make you understand
Try a little touch, try a little too much
Just try a little wig-wam bam

Running Bear never cared enough
About Little White Dove and her tender love
Till she took him to the silver stream
She told him all about what he couldn't live without
And made him all weak inside when she said

Wig-wam bam, gonna make you my man
Wam bam bam, gonna get you if I can
Wig-wam bam, wanna make you understand
Try a little touch, try a little too much
Just try a little Wig-wam bam

Wig-wam bam sham-a-lam

Wam bam bam, gonna get you if I can
Wig-wam bam, wanna make you understand
Try a little touch, try a little too much
Just try a little wig-wam bam, and she said
