Allman Brothers - Ramblin' Man

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WGVW7byRCA



lord, i was born a ramblin' man
tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best i can
and when it's time for leavin'
i hope you'll understand
that i was born a ramblin' man

my daddy was a gambler down in georgia
he wound up on the wrong end of a gun
and i was born in the back seat of a greyhound bus
rollin' down highway forty-one

lord, i was born a ramblin' man
tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best i can
and when it's time for leavin'
i hope you'll understand
that i was born a ramblin' man

i'm on my way down to new orleans this mornin'
i'm leavin' out of nashville, tennessee
they're always having a good time down on the bayou
lord, them delta women think the world of me

lord, i was born a ramblin' man
tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best i can
and when it's time for leavin'
i hope you'll understand
that i was born a ramblin' man
. . .

lord, i was born a ramblin' man
lord, i was born a ramblin' man
lord, i was born a ramblin' man

Steve Miller Band - Space Cowboy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwoiy-Fwm0E



i told you 'bout living in the U.S. of A.
don't you know that i'm a gangster of love
let me tell you people that i found a new way
and i'm tired of all this talk about love
and the same old story with a new set of words
about the good and the bad and the poor
and the times keep on changin'
so i'm keepin' on top
of every fat cat who walks through my door

i'm a space cowboy
bet you weren't ready for that
i'm a space cowboy
i'm sure you know where it's at
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

i see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
the boys in the military shirts
i keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
and i don't let my friends get hurt
all you back room schemers, power trip dreamers
better find something new to say
cause you're the same old story
with a new set of words
and you got some heavy dues to pay


i'm a space cowboy
bet you weren't ready for that
i'm a space cowboy
i'm sure you know where it's at
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


(additional lyrics not covered in this version:
i was born on this rock
and i've been travelin' through space
since the moment i first realized
what all you fast talkin' cats would do if you could
you know, i'm ready for the final surprise
there ain't no way around it
ain't nothing to say
that's gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
all the prayers and surveyors
keep the whole place uptight
while it keeps on gettin' darker outside

i'm a space cowboy
bet you weren't ready for that
i'm a space cowboy
i'm sure you know where it's at
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

i see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
the boys in the military shirts
i keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
and i don't let my friends get hurt
all you back room schemers, power trip dreamers
better find something new to say
cause you're the same old story
with a new set of words
and you got some heavy dues to pay

i'm a space cowboy
bet you weren't ready for that
i'm a space cowboy
i'm sure you know where it's at
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

eagles and linda ronstadt - desperado

http://youtu.be/-7DSyms49og



desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
you been out ridin' fences for so long now
oh, you're a hard one but i know that you got your reasons
these things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow

don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
she'll beat you if she's able
you know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

well it seems to me, some fine things
have been laid upon your table
but you only want the ones that you can't get

desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger
your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home

and freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin'
your prison is walkin' through this world all alone

don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
the sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
it's hard to tell the night time from the day
you're losin' all your highs and lows
ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away?

desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
come down from your fences, open the gate
it may be rainin' but there's a rainbow above you
you better let somebody love you
(let somebody love you)
let somebody love you before it's too late

Kid Rock - Cowboy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glb2U6y-GdU&ob=av2n



(cowboy)
(cowboy)

well i'm packing up my game and i'm-a head out west
where real women come equipped with scripts and fake breasts
find a nest in the hills - chill like flint
buy an old drop-top - find a spot to pimp
then i'm-a kid rock it up and down your block
with a bottle of scotch and botch lots of crotch
buy a yacht with a flag sayin', "chillin' the most"
then rock that bitch up and down the coast
give a toast to the sun, drink with the stars
get thrown in the mix and tossed out of bars
sip the tijuana - i wanna roam
find mo town and tell them fools to come back home
start an escort service for all the right reasons
and set up shop at the top of four seasons
kid rockin' - i'm the real mccoy
and i'm headed out west sucker, 'cause i wanna be a . . .

cowboy, baby
with the top let back and the sunshine shinin'
cowboy, baby
west coast chillin' with the boone's wine
i wanna be a cowboy, baby
ridin' at night 'cause i sleep all day
cowboy, baby
i can smell a pig from a mile away

i bet you'll hear my whistle blowin' when my train rolls in
it goes (whistle) like dust in the wind
stoned pimp; stoned freak; stoned out of my mind
i once was lost, but now i'm just blind
palm trees and weeds, scabbed knees and rice
get a map to the stars - find heidi fleiss
and if the price is right then i'm gonna make my bid, boy
and let cal-i-forn-i-a know why the call me a . . .

cowboy, baby
with the top let back and the sunshine shinin'
cowboy, baby
west coast chillin' with the boone's wine
i'm gonna be a cowboy, baby
ridin' at night 'cause i sleep all day
cowboy, baby
i can smell a pig from a mile away

yeah, kid rock - you can call me tex
rollin' sunset woman with a bottle of becks
seen a slimmy in a 'vette, rolled down my glass
and said, "yeah this dick fits right in your ass"
no kiddin'; gun slingin'; spurs hittin' the floor
call me hoss, i'm the boss, with the sauce in the horse
no remorse for the sheriff, in his eye i ain't right
i'm gonna paint his town red, then paint his wife white
cause chaos, rock like amadeus
find west coast pussy for my detroit players
mack like mayors, ball like lakers
they told us to leave, but bet they can't make us
why they wanna pick on me?
lock me pu and snort away my key?
i ain't no G, i'm just a regular failure
right straight outta compton - i'm straight out the trailer
cuss like a sailor; drink like a mick
my only words of wisdom are to suck my dick!
i'm flickin' my bic up and down that coast and
keep on truckin' until it falls into motion

cowboy
with the top let back and the sunshine shinin'
cowboy
spend all my time at hollywood and vine
cowboy
ridin' at night 'cause i sleep all day
cowboy
i can smell a pig from a mile away
cowboy
with the top let back and the sunshine shinin'

cowboy
with the top let back and the sunshine shinin'
cowboy
spend all my time at hollywood and vine

Pantera - Cowboys From Hell

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



Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without
We're gonna take what's ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say the bad guys wear black
We're tagged and can't turn back

You see us comin'
And you all together run for cover
We're takin over this town

Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen my friend, you see
It's been slow down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell

Pillage the village, trash the scene
But better not take it out on me
'Cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight
From my double barrel, 12 gauge,
Can't lock me in your cage

You see us comin'
And you all together run for cover
We're takin over this town

Here we come reach for your gun
And you better listen my friend, you see
It's been slow down below,
Aimed at you we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
'Cause high noon, your doom
. . .

Guns N' Roses - Knockin' On Heaven's Door

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




Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door . . .

queen - bohemian rhapsody

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ9rUzIMcZQ&ob=av2e



is this the real life?
is this just fantasy?
caught in a landslide
no escape from reality
open your eyes
look up to the skies and see
i'm just a poor boy, i need no sympathy
because i'm easy come, easy go
a little high, little low
anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me

mama, just killed a man
put a gun against his head
pulled my trigger, now he's dead
mama, life had just begun
but now i've gone and thrown it all away
mama, ooohhhhh
didn't mean to make you cry
if i'm not back again this time tomorrow
carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

too late, my time has come
sends shivers down my spine
body's aching all the time
goodbye everybody - i've got to go
gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
mama, ooohhhhh - (anyway the wind blows)
i don't want to die
i sometimes wish i'd never been born at all

i see a little silhouetto of a man
scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me
gallileo, gallileo,
gallileo, gallileo,
gallileo figaro - magnifico

but i'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
he's just a poor boy from a poor family
spare him his life from this monstrosity
easy come easy go - will you let me go
bismillah! no - we will not let you go - let him go
bismillah! we will not let you go - let him go
bismillah! we will not let you go - let me go
will not let you go - let me go (never)
never let you go - let me go
never let me go - ooohhhhh
no, no, no, no, no, no, no -
oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
for me
for me

so you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
so you think you can love me and leave me to die
ooohhhhh baby - can't do this to me baby
just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

ooh yeah, ooh yeah

nothing really matters
anyone can see
nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me

anyway the wind blows . . .
