"Jesus Take The Wheel"--Carrie Underwood

She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on

The one line that always gets me is



And in the End
The Love you take...
Is equal to the
Love you Make.......



Beatles -(of course)

I haven't thought of this song in 25 years. Used to drink beer with my best friend listening to this one over and over. Some things never change

Hotel California (1976)
Wasted Time

Well, baby, there you stand
with your little head down in your hand.
Oh my God, you can't believe it's happening again.
Your baby's gone and you're all alone and it looks like the end.

And you're back out on the street
and you're tryin' to remember.
How do you start it over? You don't know if you can.
You don't care much for a stranger's touch but you can't hold your man.

You never thought you'd be alone
this far down the line
and I know what's been on your mind,
you're afraid it's all been wasted time.

The autumn leaves have got you thinking
about the first time that you fell.
You didn't love the boy too much,
no no, you just loved the boy too well.
Farewell.

So you live from day to day
and you dream about tomorrow, oh.
And the hours go by like minutes and the shadows come to stay.
So ya take a little something to make them go away.

And I could have done so many things, baby,
if I could only stop my mind
from wond'rin' what I left behind
and from worryin' 'bout this wasted time.

Ooh, another love had come and gone.
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on.
I remember what you told me before you went out on your own:
sometimes to keep it together we got to leave it alone.

So you can get on with your search, baby,
and I can get on with mine.
And maybe someday we will find
that it wasn't really wasted time.

Ben Folds Five -- still fighting it

..the whole damn song chokes me up..

Harry Nilsson Without You Lyrics:


No, I can't forget tomorrow,
When I think of all my sorrow;
When I had you there but then I let you go.
And now it's only fair that I should let you know,
What you should know.

I can't live if living is without you.
I can't live, I can't give any more.
I can't live if living is without you.
I can't give, I can't give any more.

Jacob's Dream.....by Allison Kraus

Oh mommy and daddy, why can't you hear our cries?
The day is almost over, soon it will be night.
We're so cold and hungry and our feet are sore and tired
We promise not to stray again from our cabin door.

she'll leave you with a smile-george strait

That one reminds me of my Mom.^^^^^^^^^

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Allthough tears maybe ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use in crying
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you'll just smile..

I know you are a great romancer
but im sorry to say that you got throat cancer

Daddy don't you walk so fast.
Daddy don't you walk so fast.
Daddy slow down some 'cause you're makin me run
Daddy don't you walk so fast.

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and for you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

I hear Louis Armstong's voice in my head singing this song everytime I see, hear or read anything involving 9/11. I drove 800 miles on 9/12 to get home to my family and every NPR station @ every college town between Green bay and KC played this song.

I have to admit that just about ANY Martina McBride ballad does that too me as well.

There is just something about the emotion in her voice...

I loved you, you made me, hate me. You gave me, hate, see?. It saved me and these tears are deadly.
You feel that? I rip back, every time you tried to steal that. You feel bad? you feel sad? I’m sorry,
hell no **** that! It was my heart, it was my life, it was my start, it was your knife. This strife
it dies, this life and these lies. And these lungs have sung this song for too long, and its true I
hurt too, remember I loved you!

My Black Dahlia - Hollywood Undead; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZD85-Z5haw

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on now,
cause theres too many places I've got to see

Wow, that is an awesome song.

Here is the same song, but as a duet with Josh Grobin. When they sing the chorus, it sends chills....

September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

When I try to sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

And the eyes of the world are
watching now
watching now



One time the people of the world all spoke with one voice and brought down a nation

Desperado - Eagles

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
Shell beat you if shes able
You know the queen of heats is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you cant get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, thats just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky wont snow and the sun wont shine
Its hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but theres a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before its too late
