Hi all,

This just popped into my head tonight, and I thought I'd share some lyrics with you that might reflect our lives.

I invite you to add your own lyrics from any source or genre, including your own poetry/song lyrics, but please give credit to the songwriter/artist where credit is due (including yourself)! Here's the first one that came into my head tonight. Please contribute your own covers or originals! :thanks:

Styx?Fooling Yourself:

You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man i can tell
You've got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest

And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
How can you be such an angry young man
When your future looks quite bright to me
How can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man

You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it

Holy Cow Nichau!!

I remember blasting this song in the tenth grade and already seeing myself going down the tubes and wishing that someone would save me...

I was actually listening to it a few months ago in the car with my twins and a friend of theirs (still turned it up loud! ) and one of my daughters turned to her friend and said, " don't cha just love my moms music!!"

Thanks for starting this thread. I've got lots of lyrics swirling in there. I'll post as soon as I pick one. :H

Hugs,
:l

"A Drunk Can't Be a Man"
By George Jones

He embarrasses his child and wife
Lord, he leads a miserable life
But still he thinks the bottle is his right hand

Yes and he can tear down more
Than he's ever built before

A man can be a drunk sometimes

But a drunk can't be a man


He lets your business lag behind

For the nightlife he can find

Why he does all this he'll never understand


And in the morning when he wakes up

Lord, he can't wait to fill his cup

A man can be a drunk sometimes

But a drunk can't be a man


For he goes from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde

He seems proud to have the devil for his guide


Still he keeps on reachin' out

Lord, he needs a helping hand

But a man can be a drunk sometimes

But a drunk can't be a man


Yes, a man can be a drunk sometimes

But a drunk can't be a man

Ok I'll bite. This song has always kinda hit home for me.

Kid Rock "Roll On"


"Roll On"

Mmmm
I love it when you play it like that
Come on... Play

Sittin' here alone I'm lookin' back on where I've roamed
And laughing how I swore I'd win and not get burned
Left my family
Left my home
I worked my fingers to the bone
And there was not a stone I did not leave unturned
And I was havin' a good time

Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster
We're one day older and one step closer
Roll on there's mountains to climb
Roll on we're on borrowed time
Roll on Roller coaster
Roll on tonight
Roll on tonight yeah

Money and success
I don't complain about the stress
I wanted this and now it's here
So I don't bitch
And I swear that time's a trick
It disappears in oh so quick
Man I was just sixteen
And now I'm starin' at thirty-six
But I'm still havin' a good time

Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster
We're one day older and one step closer
Roll on there's mountains to climb
Roll on we're on borrowed time
Roll on Roller coaster
Roll on tonight
Roll on tonight

And I know it's hard to see with the sun in your eyes
But one day you're gonna say I saw the light

And now headin' for the hill
And I just cannot wait until
My children grow up to have children of their own
And I'll be telling them about
The times I turned the party out
And how I stood against an army all alone
Drinkin' wine and stayin' high
And realized it couldn't last
And how I turned myself around
And went down another path
And the signs we must observe
When life's changes do occur
But most of all I'll tell them
Just how proud I am of them
And always have a good time
It's all love and good times
Let's all have a good time Yeah

Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster
We're one day older and one step closer
Roll on there's mountains to climb
Roll on we're on borrowed time
Roll on Roller coaster
Roll on tonight
Roll on tonight

MUCH LOVE !!!

Bob

Ok one more and I will stop. This another Kid Rock song.

Kid Rock "Amen"

It's another night in hell
Another child won't live to tell
Can you imagine what it's like to starve to death

And as we sit free and well
Another soldier has to yell
Tell my wife and children I love them in his last breath

C'mon now amen, amen, amen

Habitual offenders, scumbag lawyers with agendas
I'll tell you sometimes people I don't know what's worse
Natural disasters or these wolves in sheep clothes pastors
Now God damn it I'm scared to send my children to church
And how can we seek salvation when our nations race relations
Got me feeling guilty of being white
But faith in human nature, our creator and our savior, I'm no saint
But I believe in what is right

C'mon now amen, amen
I said amen, amen
Stop pointing fingers and take some blame,
Pull your future away from the flame
Open up your mind and start to live
Stop short changing your neighbors
Living off hand outs and favors, and maybe
Give a little bit more than you got to give

Simplify, testify, identify, rectify
And if I get high stop being so uptight
It's only human nature and I am not a stranger
So baby won't you stay with me tonight

When a calls away
to break the sound
I'm faden down, I need someone
Oh to be someone
They just sinken down, and holden back
I hold the dawn and run
They don't save a child
Oh, to save a child

It's a matter of salvation from them patience up above,
So don't give up so damn easy on the one you love, one you love
Somewhere you got a brother, sister, friend, grandmother, niece or nephew
Just dying to be with you
You know there's someone out there who unconditionally, religiously, loves you
So just hold on 'cause you know it's true
And if you can take the pain
And you can withstand anything, and one day
Stand hand in hand with the truth

I said amen, I said amen
I said amen, I said amen,

Amen

MUCH LOVE !!!
Bob
