All The Roadrunning Composer(s): Mark Knopfler Performer(s): Dire Straits; Emmylou Harris
A million miles our vagabond heels clocked up beneath the clouds Theyre counting down to show time When we do it for real with the crowds Air miles are owing but they dont come for free And they dont give you any for pain
But if its all for nothing all the road running its been in vain
the rimshots come down like cannon fire and thunder off the wall theres a man in every corner and each one is giving his all
this is my time this is my drum so youll never hear me complain
And if its all for nothing all the road running its been in vain
All the road running all the road running
Well if youre inclined to go up on the wall it can only be fast and high and those who dont like the danger soon find something different to try When theres only a ringin in your ears and an echo down memory lane
But if its all for nothing all the road running its been in vain
All the road running, all the road running All the road running, all the road running
The shows packing up I sit and I watch the convoy leaving town Theres no pretending Im not a fool, for riding around and around like the pictures you keep of your old, old dad you showed me one time on the plane
But if its all for nothing all the road running Its been in vain
A million miles of vagabond sky clocked up above the clouds Im still your man for roaming as long as there's roamin' allowed
therell be a rider and therell be a wall as long as the dream remains
And if its all for nothing all the road running its been in vain
All the road running, all the road running All the road running, all the road running All the road running, all the road running All the road running, all the road running
Had one lover all my life, he left me high and dry And after I cried all my tears, I learned how to get by Well there's been old friends to ease my pain, Jack Daniels to name a few But I'd be damned if I go home with a Wild Turkey like you
I've been out with Johnny Ridge, George Dickle never failed I've taken Southern Comfort just to chase that Coopers Ale And on those cold nights old Granddad would help me make it through But I'd be damned if I go home with a Wild Turkey like you
Now I have seen some losers, that would make a statue cry But boy if you had some feathers I'd swear that you could fly Yes, I came in here alone and yes, I've had a few But I'd be damned if I go home with a Wild Turkey like you
Now don't get the impression that I care about what you do But when it gets close to thanksgiving I'd hide if I was you Yes, I came in here alone and yes, I've had a few But I'd be damned if I go home with a Wild Turkey like you
All The Pretty Little Ponies Composer(s): Kenny Loggins - David Pack Performer(s): Kenny Loggins
Hush a bye Don't you cry Go to sleep my little baby When you wake You shall have All the pretty little ponies
In your bed Momma said Baby's riding off to dreamland One by one They've begun Dance and prance for little baby Blacks and bays, dapples and greys Running in the night When you wake You shall have All the pretty little ponies
Can you see the little ponies Dance before your eyes All the pretty little ponies Will be there when you arise
All The Nasties Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John
If it came to pass that they should ask What could I tell them Would they criticize behind my back Maybe I should let them Oh if only then and only then They would understand They'd turn a full-blooded city boy Into a full-blooded city man
If they could face it I could take it in their eyes Oh I know I'd make it Their tiny minds And sacred cows just fake it If only then and only then They would understand They'd turn a full-blooded city boy Into a full-blooded city man
But I know the way they want me In the way they publicize If they could turn their focus off To the image in their eyes Maybe it would help them, help them understand Maybe it would help them, help them understand Maybe it would help them, help them understand That a full-blooded city boy Is now a full-blooded city man
Wild Tales Composer(s): Graham Nash Performer(s): Crosby, Stills & Nash
You came over here with wild tales from the East about the floods that are rushing 'round your door about your old lady who up and walked away from your feast So you flew your bike over Highway 1 you were lucky to land on your feet and you started crying 'cause you bent the key but it was your lady that landed underneath And it is alright take it as it comes you will find a way to get there So tell me your company's being reviewed by the people that sit on the stand and you tell me your factory's been renewed with computers instead of hands So you filmed Old faithful in super-8 and you monitored all of her calls 'cause you caught the milkman with double-cream he was delivering down your halls But it's all right take it as it comes you will find a way to get there
All The Man That I Need Composer(s): Dean Pitchford - Michael Gore First release by: Linda Clifford - 1982 Covered by multiple other artists
I used to cry myself to sleep at night But that was all Before he came I thought love had to hurt to turn out right But now he's here It's not the same It's not the same
He fills me up He gives me love More love than I've ever seen He's all I've got He's all I've got in this world But he's all the man that I need
And in the morning when I kiss his eyes He takes me down And rocks me slow And in the evening when the moon is high He holds me close And won't let go He won't let go
He fills me up He gives me love More love than I've ever seen He's all I've got He's all I've got in this world But he's all the man that I need
All The Love In The World Composer(s): Barry Gibb Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
In your eyes I see only one - find me the place for us That's where I belong There we rise - your glory and mine Your pain is over now I make you shine - still believing All the love in the world won't take me away from you
My love is stronger I am what you make me All the love in the world won't take you away from me
In all my wonder I forever lay down here with you I find when love slips away reach out for all you can Before it's too late there you fly returnin' to me Out of your darkest nights I stand alone - still believing All the love in the world won't take me away from you
My love is stronger I forever lay down here with you My love is true all your darkest nights - I stand alone - still believing All the love in the world won't take me away from you
My love is stronger I forever lay down here with you All the love in the world won't take me away from you
I walked in There sat Slim Cleaning up his memory With some sapphire gin Mr. Paine grabbed my arm Pulled me aside And said, kid are you ready for the wild ride
I looked up There she stood I said, if you didn't look so great I'd say you look good Ah, she took her hand Ran it up my thigh And said, cowboy you ready for the wild ride
Come on now junior take the wild ride See can you make it on the wild ride Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride 'Cause things start breakin' on the wild ride
Layin' on the highway I saw my mind In tiny little pieces Thrown from side to side My heart was shattered Along with my pride Guess you can't keep 'em on the wild ride
Come on now junior take the wild ride See can you make it on the wild ride Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride 'Cause things start breakin' on the wild ride
I was crawlin' 'cross the floor I was tryin' to leave When I felt something tuggin' what was Left of my sleeve I heard a little voice with a Gold-plated vibe Say, I bought a ticket for the wild ride
Come on now junior take the wild ride See can you make it on the wild ride Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride We might just break it on the wild ride
Come on now junior take the wild ride See can you make it on the wild ride Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride We might just break it on the wild ride
Come on, Come Take me on a wild ride See can you make me on the wild ride Come on and shake me on the wild ride You might just break me on the wild ride
All The Love I Have Inside Composer(s): Chris de Burgh Performer(s): Chris de Burgh
When I wake up in the morning she is there With her sleepy smile and a long night of windy hair And when I hold her close beside me Well it feels so good That I'd like to stay here all day long If there's a way that I could
And when we go downstairs and start off onto the day Just one more cup of coffee, and I'm on my way We may not have perfection But we're halfway there And I know it's sentimental But I just wanted to say
That all the love I have inside me is for you All the love I have inside me is for you All the love I have inside me is for you
And when I've had a heavy day and I'm going home She gives me time if she sees I want to be alone Ah but when the evening's over And we go to bed Here comes the same old feeling It's like a song in my head
Well all the love I have inside me is for you All the love I have inside me is for you All the love I have inside me is for you Here's my love song to you, you...
Change your life wild one Change your life Make it strong Change your life wild one Sing your own song
Now Now that the dark has come And the virgin green was made unclean By the foolish one Now Everyone has to pay And the more that we resist the more the blindness stays Yeah the more that we resist the more the blindness stays

All The Gold In California Composer(s): Larry Gatlin Performer(s): Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Brothers Band
All the gold in California Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills In somebody elses name So if you're dreaming about California It dont matter at all where you've played before California's a brand new game
Trying to be a hero, winding up a zero Can scar a man forever right down to your soul Living on the spotlight can kill a man outright 'Cause everything that glitters is not gold
All the gold in California Is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills In somebody elses name So if you're dreaming about California It dont matter at all where you've played before California's a brand new game
Wild Night Composer(s): Van Morrison Performer(s): Van Morrison; and various other artists
As you brush your shoes, you stand before your mirror And you comb your hair, grab your coat and hat
And you walk the streets trying to remember, ee-yea All those wild nights breeze through your mind
And every thing looks so complete When you're walking down on the streets And the wind, it catches your feet Sets you flying, crying
Ooh ooh-ooh wee, wild night, is calling Ooh ooh-ooh wee, wild night, is calling
All the girls walk by, dressed up for each other And the boys, do the boogie-woogie On the corner of the stree-ee-eet
And the people passing by, just stare with wild wonder, yea And inside the juke box roars just like thunder
And every thing looks so complete When you're walking down on the streets And the wind, it catches your feet Sets you flying, crying
Wi-i-i-ild night, is calling The wi-i-ild night a-is calling C'mon out and dance, c'mon out and dance C'mon out and make romance, c'mon out and dance C'mon out and dance, c'mon out and make romance
Wild Montana Skies Composer(s): John Denver Performer(s): John Denver; Francesca; Emmylou Harris
He was born in the Bitteroot Valley in the early morning rain Wild geese over the water, heading north and home again Bringing a warm wind from the south, bringing the first taste of the spring His mother took him to her breast, and softly she did sing Oh Montana, give this child a home Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana Skies
His mother died that summer and he never learned to cry He never knew his father and he never did ask why He never knew the answers that would make an easy way but he learned to know the wilderness and to be a man that way His mother's brother took him in to his family and his home gave him a hand that he could lean on and a strength to call his own And he learned to be a farmer, and he learned to love the land and he learned to read the seasons and he learned to make a stand Oh Montana, give this child a home Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana Skies
On the eve of his 2lst birthday, he set out on his own He was 30 years and running when he found his way back home Riding a storm across the mountains and an aching in his heart said he came to turn the pages and to make a brand new start Now he never told a story of the time that he was gone Some say he was a lawyer, some say he was a John There was something in the city that he said he couldn't breathe there was something in the country that he said he couldn't leave Now some say he was crazy, some are glad hes gone Some of us will miss him and try to carry on giving a voice to the forest, giving a voice to the dawn Giving a voice to the wilderness and the land that he lived on Oh Montana, give this child a home Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana Skies Oh Montana, give this child a home Give him the love of a good family and a woman of his own Give him a fire in his heart, give him a light in his eyes give him the wild wind for a brother and the wild Montana Skies
All The Girls Love Alice Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John
Raised to be a lady by the golden rule Alice was the spawn of a public school With a double barrel name in the back of her brain And a simple case of mummy-doesnt-love-me blues
Reality it seems was just a dream She couldnt get it on with the boys on the scene But what do you expect from a chick whos just sixteen And hey, hey, hey, you know what I mean
All the young girls love alice Tender young alice they say Come over and see me Come over and please me Alice its my turn today
All the young girls love alice Tender young alice they say If I give you my number Will you promise to call me Wait till my husbands away
Poor little darling with a chip out of her heart Its like acting in a movie when you got the wrong part Getting your kicks in another girls bed And it was only last tuesday they found you in the subway dead
And who could you call your friends down in soho One or two middle-aged dykes in a go-go And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo And hey, hey, hey, oh dont you know
Wild Is The Wind Composer(s): Dimitri Tiomkin; Ned Washington Performer(s): Johnny Mathis
Love me, love me, love me, love me Say you do Let me fly away with you For my love is like the wind And wild is the wind Wild is the wind
Give me more than one caress Satisfy this hungriness Let the wind blow through your heart Oh wild is the wind Wild is the wind
You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins You kiss me With your kiss my life begins You're Spring to me All things to me Don't you know You're life itself!
Like the leaf Clings to the tree Oh my darling cling to me For we're like creatures of the wind And wild is the wind Wild is the wind
You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins You kiss me With your kiss my life begins You're Spring to me All things to me Don't you know You're life itself!
Like the leaf Clings to the tree Oh my darling cling to me For we're like creatures of the wind And wild is the wind Wild is the wind, wild is the wind Wild is the wind, wild is the wind
