If you're callin about the car, I sold it
If this is Tuesday night I'm bowling
If you've got something to sell you're wasting your time, I'm not buying
If it's anybody else, wait for the tone, you know what to do
And P.S., if this is Austin, I still love you

Blake Shelton
If This Is Austin


**For those of you who aren't familiar with the song, his wife left him and moved to Austin, and he waited for her until she finally called him a year later and heard that on his answering machine.


Great song!!! I want a man like that.

"I had a dream last night,
That you came to me on silver wings and I,
Flew away with you on a painted sky,
And I woke up wondering what was real,
Is it what you see and touch or what you feel?

'Cause you're still here
Oh you're everywhere we've ever been,

You're still here..

I heard you in a strangers laugh,
And I hung around to hear him laugh again,
Just once again..

Thought I saw you today.
You were standing in the sun,
then you turned away,
Away..."

"You're Still Here" by Faith Hill

I got choked up just typing out the lyrics here...the song always makes me cry.

This is the Jimmy Buffett most people don't know exist. Just think about the things that pass by in your life and try to live it to the fullest!

He went to Paris looking for answers
To questions that bothered him so
He was impressive, young and aggressive
Saving the world on his own.

But the warm Summer breezes
The French wines and cheeses
Put his ambition at bay
And Summers and Winters
Scattered like splinters
And four or five years slipped away.

Then he went to England, played the piano
And married an actress named Kim
They had a good life, she was a good wife
Bore him a young son named Jim.

And all of the answers and all of the questions
He locked in his attic one day
‘Cause he liked the quiet clean country living
And twenty more years slipped away.

Well the war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady
And left him with only on eye
His body was battered, his whole world was shattered
And all he could do was just cry.

While the tears were falling, he was recalling
The answers he never found
So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean
And left England without a sound.

Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin’s
And drinks his green label each day
He’s writing his memoirs and losing his hearing
But he don’t care what most people say.

Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion
If he likes you he’ll smile then he’ll say
Jimmy, some of it’s magic, some of it’s tragic
But I had a good life all the way.

And he went to Paris looking for answers
To questions that bother him so

I have one more to add...embarassed

Don't think I don't think about it
Don't think I don't have regrets
Don't think it don't get to me
Between the work, and the hurt, and the whiskey
Don't think I don't wonder about
Coulda been, shoulda been all worked out
I know what I felt, and I know what I said
But don't think I don't think about it

Darius Rucker
Don't Think I Don't Think About It

Newton Faulker - I Need Something

I need something to believe in
Cause I don't believe in myself
I'm sick and tired of getting nowhere
Guess it'll all work out

And I don't mind anymore
And I don't mind anymore

And I need someone to put my trust in
Cause I ain't trusting myself
And I'm scared of failure
So scared of success
Guess it'll all work out

And I don't mind anymore
And I don't mind anymore


Great acoustic song, but chokes me up every time I hear it. ohwell

"Anthem" by Leonard Cohen



I can't run no more
with that lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me


Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in

"I have Nothing" - Whitney Houston

Share my life
Take me for what I am
Cuz I'll never change
All my colors for you
Take my love
I'll never ask for too much
Just all that you are
And everything that you do

I don't really need to look
Very much farther
I don't wanna go
Where you don't follow
I don't hold it back again
This passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide

Chorus:
Don't make me close one more door
I don't wanna hurt anymore
Stay in my arms if you dare
Must I imagine you there?
Don't walk away from me
I Have Nothing
Nothing
Nothing, if i don't have you (you-oo, you-oo, you)

You see through
Right to the heart of me
You break down my walls
With the strength of your love (mm..)
I never knew
Love like I known it's with you
Will the memories survive?
One I can hold on to

I don't really need to look
Very much farther
I don't wanna go
Where you don't follow
I don't hold it back again
This passion inside
Can't run from myself
There's nowhere to hide
You're the love I remember forever

Repeat Chorus (2X)
Don't walk away from me
Don't walk away from me
Don't you dare walk away from me
I have nothing
Nothing
Nothing, if I don't have you
You, if I don't have you

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or
let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(x2)

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/bR ]
You can't break my spirit -
it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(x2)

And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.(x2)

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

The lines from the Prayer....



I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know.
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way.
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe.

Now most every morning
I stare out the window
I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me

He was walking her home – Mark Schultz

http://www.onlylyrics.com/song.php?id=1004627


He was walking her home
Holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home

SATY IT AINT SO - WEEZER

Dear Daddy
I write you in spite of years of silence
You've cleaned up, found Jesus, things are good or so I hear
This bottle of Steven's awakens ancient feelings
Like father, stepfather, the son is drowning in the flood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker

i cried the very first time I heard this song..


I move on like a sinners prayer
And letting go like a levee breaks
Walk away as if I don't care
Learn to shoulder my mistakes
Or built to fade like your favorite song
Get reckless when there's no need
Laugh as your stories ramble on
Break my heart, but it won't bleed
My only friends are pirates
That's just who I am
But I'm better as a memory than as your man

Never sure when the truth won't bend
And pretty good on a lonely night
Or move on the way a storm blows through
And never stay, but then again, I might.
I struggle sometimes to find the words
Always sure until I doubt
Walk a line until it blurs
Build walls too high to climb out
But I'm honest to a fault
That's just who I am
I'm better as a memory than as your man

I see you leaning, you're bound to fall
I don't want to be that mistake
I'm just a dreamer and nothing more
You should know it before it gets too late

Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel
You never know where they're gonna land
First you're spinning, then you're standing still
Left holding a losing hand
But one day you're gonna find someone
And right away you'll know it's true
That all of your sinking's done
It was just a part of the passing through
Right there in that moment you'll finally understand
That I was better as a memory than as your man
Better as a memory than as your man

Beauty and the Beastsad
- written by Stevie Nicks
****

You're not a stranger to me
And you are something to see
You don't even know how to please
You say a lot...but you're unaware how to leave


My darling lives in a world that is not mine
An old child misunderstood...out of time
Timeless is the creature who is wise
And timeless is the prisoner in disguise


Oh who is the beauty...who the beast
Would you die of grieving when I leave
Two children too blind to see
I would fall in your shadow...I believe


My love is a man who's not been tamed
Oh...my love lives in a world of false pleasure and pain
We come from difference worlds...we are the same (my love)
I never doubted your beauty...I've changed
I never doubted your beauty...I've changed


Changed...who is the beauty
Where is my beast (my love)
There is no beauty
Without my beast (my love)


Who is the beauty
Who... (my love)
Ahhh...
Oh...la bete...la bete
Where is my beast


My beauty...my beauty
My beautiful...beautiful...beautiful
Beautiful beast

Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You
- written by Stevie Nicks, Keith Olsen
******

Has anyone ever written anything for you
In all your darkest hours
Have you ever heard me sing
Listen to me now
You know I'd rather be alone
Than be without you
Don't you know


Has anyone ever given anything to you
In your darkest hours
Did you ever give it back
Well, I have
I have given that to you
If it's all I ever do
This is your song


And the rain comes down
There's no pain and there's no doubt
It was easy to say
I believed in you everyday
If not for me
Then do it for the world


Has anyone ever written anything for you
In your darkest sorrow
Did you ever hear me sing
Listen to me now
You know I'd rather be alone
Than be without you
Don't you know


So, if not for me, then
Do it for yourself
If not for me then
Do it for the world
Poet...priest of nothing
Poet...priest of nothing

Sara
- written by Stevie Nicks
*****


Wait a minute baby. . .
Stay with me awhile
Said you'd give me light
But you never told me about the fire


Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home


And he was just like a great dark wing
Within the wings of a storm
I think I had met my match--he was singing
And undoing the laces
Undoing the laces


Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home


Hold on
The night is coming and the starling
flew for days
I'd stay home at night all the time
I'd go anywhere, anywhere
Ask me and I'm there because I care


Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter what for
When you build your house
I'll come by


Drowning in the sea of love
Where everyone would love to drown
And now it's gone
It doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Call me home


All I ever wanted
Was to know that you were dreaming
(There's a heartbeat
And it never really died)
