Doobie Brothers - Black Water

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQZu6Zh-eOA





Well, i built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'
Ol' mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin'
That paddle wheel thumpin'
Black water keeps rollin' on past just the same

Ole black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Ole black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Ole black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light
Gonna make everything, pretty mama
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries
'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all

Well, if it rains, I don't care
Don't make no difference to me
Just take that street car that's goin' up town
Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
And dance a honky tonk
And I'll be buyin' ev'rybody drinks all 'roun'

Ole black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Ole black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Ole black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light
Gonna make everything, everything
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries
'Cause I ain't in no hurry at all

I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
By the hand, take me by the hand pretty mama
Come and dance with your daddy all night long . . .

I want to honky tonk, honky tonk, honky tonk
With you all night long . . .

Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB17uWuBrL0




Once I Rose Above The Noise And Confusion
Just To Get A Glimpse Beyond This Illusion
I Was Soaring Ever Higher, But I Flew Too High
Though My Eyes Could See I Still Was A Blind Man
Though My Mind Could Think I Still Was A Mad Man
I Hear The Voices When I'm Dreaming
I Can Hear Them Say

Carry On Our Wayward Son,
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done
Lay Your Weary Head To Rest
Don't You Cry No More

Masquerading As A Man With A Reason
My Charade Is The Event Of The Season
And If I Claim To Be A Wise Man
It Surely Means That I Don't Know
On A Stormy Sea Of Moving Emotion
Tossed About I'm Like A Ship On The Ocean
I Set A Course For Winds Of Fortune
But I Hear The Voices Say

Carry On Our Wayward Son
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done
Lay Your Weary Head To Rest
Don't You Cry No More

Carry On
You Will Always Remember
Carry On
Nothing Equals The Splendor
Now Your Life's No Longer Empty
Surely Heaven Waits For You

Carry On Our Wayward Son
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done
Lay Your Weary Head To Rest
Don't You Cry No More

No More

eagles - hotel california

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1971g_eagles-hotel-california_music



on a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
up ahead in the distance, i saw a shimmering light
my head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim
i had to stop for the night
there she stood in the doorway
i heard the mission bell
i was thinking to myself,
'this could be heaven or this could be hell'
then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
there were voices down the corridor,
i thought i heard them say . . .

'welcome to the hotel california'
'such a lovely place' (such a lovely place)
'such a lovely face'
'there's plenty of room at the hotel california'
'any time of year' (any time of year)
'you can find it here'

her mind is tiffany-twisted
she's got the mercedes benz
she's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, she calls friends
how they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
some dance to remember, some dance to forget
so I called up the captain, 'please bring me my wine'
he said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since 1969'
and still those voices are calling from far away
wake you up in the middle of the night
just to hear them say . . .

'welcome to the hotel california'
'such a lovely place' (such a lovely place)
'such a lovely face'
they living it up at the hotel california
what a nice surprise (
what a nice surprise)
bring your alibis

mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on ice
and she said 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
and in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast
they stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast
last thing i remember, i was running for the door
i had to find the passage back to the place i was before
'relax' said the night man, 'we are programed to receive'
'you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave'

Atlanta Rhythm Section - So Into You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q35DzUMwKY





When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me

I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else
I am so into you
I can't think of nothing else

Thinking how it's gonna be
Whenever I get you next to me
It's gonna be good, don't you know
From your head to your toe
Gonna love you all over
Over and over
Me into you, you into me, me into you

When you walked into the room
There was voodoo in the vibes
I was captured by your style
But I could not catch your eyes
Now I stand here helplessly
Hoping you'll get into me


I am so into you
I can't get to nothing else
I am so into you baby
I can't get to nothing else
C'mon baby
I'm so into you
Love the things ya do
Let's go baby
Driving me crazy
I'm so into you . . .

Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yGCHPmfqT0





Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

You talk about things that nobody cares
You're wearing out things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but I gotta make clear
I can't say baby where I'll be in a year

When Some Sweat Hog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up and went
Well I got good news, she's a real good liar
'Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

When I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took it just a little too far
You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died
Yes it did

You stand in the front just a shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
I'll talk about somethin' you can sure understand
'Cause a month on the road and I'll be eaten from your hand

Alice in Chains - Check My Brain




So I found myself in the sun, oh yeah
A hell of a place to end a run, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain

California's all right
Somebody check my brain

Check my brain

I walk these streets, I creep and I fall, oh yeah
When she sang I answered the call, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain

California's all right
Somebody check my brain

Ahhhhhhh
Tears that filled my bong
Ahhhhhhh
Years expended gone

I hung my guns and put 'em away, oh yeah
The trick of the trade, and by the way, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain

California's all right
Somebody check my brain

Ahhhhhhh
Tears that filled my bong
Ahhhhhhh
Years expended gone

Check my brain (x3)

stone temple pilots - interstate love song

http://youtu.be/YwaiYWOin_M



waiting on a sunday afternoon
for what i read between the lines
your lies
feelin' like a hand in rusted shame
so do you laugh at those who cry?
reply?

leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied
promises of what i seemed to be
only watched the time go by
all of these things you said to me

breathing is the hardest thing to do
with all i've said and
all that's dead for you
you lied
good bye

leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied
promises of what i seemed to be
only watched the time go by
all of these things i said to you
