songs across the states
So these songs for some reaosn stuck in my head while travelling. Either becasue they were played 100 times on the radio or had an amazing line/verse in them or.....the rhythm, I dunno, they're stuck in my head!
Casting Crowns: Praise You in This Storm -- It is so nice to know God is always there, even when everything is falling apart. "For You are who You are no matter where I am." God doesn't change or move. He is always there and always in control which is so comforting.
I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
Keith Anderson: Every Time I Hear Your Name -- Who hasn't had that feeling after a break up? Every little thing can remind you of the other one, whether you want it to or not. And it's so nice to get past that point! Or at least to the point that the memories are sweet, not bitter. Yes, 'tis nice to be there.
Fin'lly got over that song of ours; stopped chasin' little red sports cars,
To check the license plates an' back wood drivin' by your place.
Back makin' the rounds at our old haunts: Honky Tonks, restaurants.
An' seein' some of our old friends: it feels good to dance again.
An' I can fin'lly smell your perfume an' not look around the room for you.
An' I can walk right by your picture in a frame an' not feel a thing.
But when I hear your name,
I feel rain fallin' right out of the blue sky.
An' it's the fifth of May, an' I'm right there starin' in your eyes.
An' nothin's changed, an' we're still same.
An' I get lost in the innocence of a first kiss,
An' I'm hangin' on to every word rollin' off of your lips:
An' that's all it takes, an' I'm in that place,
Every time I hear your name.
Got someone special in my life: everyone thinks she'd make a great wife.
Dad says he thinks she's the one: reminds him of Mom when she was young,
But it's way too soon to be talkin 'bout rings; don't wanna rush into anything.
She's getting over someone too, kinda like me an' you.
An' she talks about him every once in a while, an' I just nod my head an' smile,
'Cause I know exactly what she's goin' through: yeah, I've been there too.
An' when the conversation turns to you,
I get caught in a "you were the only one for me",
Kinda thought, an' your face is all that I see.
I know I can't go back when I still go back.
An' there we are, a point down by the riverside,
An' I'm in your arms about to make love for the first time,
An' that's all it takes, an' I'm in that place,
Every time I hear your name.
So I'm thinkin' 'bout the words I left unsaid.
(Every time I hear your name.)
Stop tryin' the change the things I can't change.
(Every time I hear your name.)
In my heart I know you're gone, but in my head,
I feel rain fallin' right out of the blue sky.
An' it's the fifth of May, an' I'm right there starin' in your eyes.
That's all it takes, an' I'm in that place.
An' there we are, a point down by the riverside,
An' I'm in your arms about to make love for the first time.
An' I can't explain, but I'm in that place,
Every time I hear your name.
Every time I hear your name.
(Every time I hear your name.)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
(Every time I hear your name.)
Ah ah.
Every time I hear your name.
Sugarland and Bon Jovi: Who Says You Can't Go Home -- Well, duh, I just went home. And no, it's not the same. Parts of it are better, parts of it should've never changed yet they did and not for the good but we deal with it. But overall, people are glad to see me and (say) they missed me. (Madison, 8: "My Katie")
Ive spent 20 years tryin to get out of this place
I was lookin for somethin i couldn't replace
I was runin away from the only thing I've ever known
Like a blind dog without a bone
I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold
Ive been there done that and I aint lookin back on the seeds Ive sown.
saving dimes, spending too much time on the telephone....
who says you cant go home
who says you cant go home
theres only one place they call you one of their own
Just a hometown boy born a rolling stone
who says you cant go home
who says you cant go back been all around the world and as a matter of fact
theres only one place left i wanna go
who says you cant go home
its alright, its alright, its alright, its alright, its alright
i went as far as i could tryin to find a new face
There isnt one of these lines that i would erase
i left a million miles of memories on that road
every step i take i know that im not alone
You can take the home from the boy but not the boy from his home
these are my streets the only life ive ever known
Who says you can't go home
who says you cant go home
theres only one place they call you one of their own
just a hometown boy born a rolling stone
who says you can't go home
who says you cant go back been all around the world and as a matter of fact
theres only one place left i wanna go
who says you cant go home
Guitar(solo)
Dosent matter where you are
Dosent matter where you go
If its a million miles away
or just a mile up the road
take it in, take it with you when you go
who says you can't go home
who says you can't go back
been all around the world
and as a matter of fact
theres only one place left i wanna go
who says you cant go home
its alright, its alright, its alright, its alright, its alright
who says you cant go home
its alright, its alright, its alright, its alright, its alright
who says you cant go home
its alright, its alright, its alright, its alright, its alright
Who says you cant go home!
Leann Rimes: Somethin's Gotta Give -- Yeah, I want the butterfly feeling and I'm not compromising to get it.
Jenny's got a job, a cat named Jake,
31 candles on her birthday cake
Next year
Thought by now she'd have a man
Two car seats and a minivan
But it still ain't here (hey!)
She's been lookin' for Mr. Right so long
But all she's found is Mr. Wrong
That's the pitts
She's drawn a line that she won't cross
Her and time are facing off
She says something's gotta give
[Chorus]
Something's gotta give me butterflies
Something's gotta make me feel alive
Something's gotta give me dreams at night
Something's gotta make me feel alright
I don't know where it is
But something's gotta give
Friday night she had a date
Cell phone junky a half hour late
That's the biz baby
She's riding out the twists of fate
She's had all that she can take
She says something's gotta give
[repeat chorus]
I swear
There's got to be a meant to be for me out there
Somewhere someday
I'm gonna find someone, somehow, someway
Jenny's got a job, a cat named Jake,
31 candles on her birthday cake

She thought by now she'd have a man
Two car seats and a minivan

Montgomery Gentry: She Don't Tell Me To -- I want to be this girl. I want a man who is all that and then some because he wants to be, not because I made him that way.
Every now an' then, on my home,
I stop at a spot where the wild flowers grow, an' I pick a few,
'Cause she don't tell me to.
I go out with my boys all right,
But most of the time I call it a night before they do,
'Cause she don't tell me to.
Sunday mornin', I'm in church,
An' my butt an' my back an' necktie hurt, but I'm in the pew,
She don't tell me to.
Any other woman I know would have tried,
To control me and it would be over.
Plannin' on my goin' on my own way attitude.
All of that stubborness melts away,
When I wake with her head on my shoulder,
An' I know I've got to love her,
Until my life is through,
'Cause she don't tell me to.
Well, I got demons and I've got pride,
But when I'm wrong, I apologise like she's mine to lose,
'Cause she don't tell me to.
Well, I got dreams in this heart of mine,
But nothin' that I wouldn't lay aside if she asked me to.
'Cause she don't tell me to.
An' she don't even know,
That she keeps lookin' for the next right thing to do,
'Cause she don't tell me to.
Yeah, yeah.
Any other woman I know would have tried,
To control me and it would be over.
Plannin' on my goin' on my own way attitude.
And all of that stubborness melts away,
When I wake with her head on my shoulder,
An' I know I've got to love her,
Until my life is through,
What else can I do?
What else can I do?
Whoa, I love her,
'Cause she don't tell me to.
She don't tell me to.
Every now an' then, on my home,
I stop at a spot where the wild flowers grow, an' I pick a few,
Yes I do.
