Home by Phillip Phillips

My bro loves this song and I love my bro:) Pretty words.

Hold on, to me as we go.
As we roll down this unfamiliar road.
And although this wave is stringing us along.
Just know you’re not alone,
Cause I’m going to make this place your home.

Settle down, it'll all be clear.
Don't pay no mind to the demons,
They fill you with fear.
The trouble it might drag you down.
If you get lost, you can always be found.

Just know you’re not alone,
Cause I’m going to make this place your home.

Settle down, it'll all be clear.
Don't pay no mind to the demons,
They fill you with fear.
The trouble it might drag you down.
If you get lost, you can always be found.

Just know you’re not alone,
Cause I’m going to make this place your home.

Settle down, it'll all be clear.
Don't pay no mind to the demons.
They fill you with fear.
The trouble it might drag you down,
If you get lost you can always be found.

Just know you're not alone,
Cause I'm gonna make this place your home.


Ramblin Man by the Allman Brothers


Awesome version of this song!!! When I saw the current band in concert last year, they still rocked this hard!!!

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 father 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 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

Under Pressure performed by Eddie Vedder and Ben Harper


I know I say this a lot but...AMAZING!!!

Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets

Chippin' around, kick my brains across the floor
These are the days, when it rains it pours
People on streets - people on streets

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes us higher...
Pressure on people - people on streets

Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?

Love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give our love one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love..?

'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
and love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure


Polly by Nirvana


One of my favorite albums of all time is this Nirvana Unplugged!!! Amazing! "It amazes me the will of instinct..."

Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch

It isn't me 
We have a seed 
Let me clip 
Your dirty wings 
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
I want some help 
To help myself 
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you 
I have been true 
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
I want some help 
To help myself 

Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her 
A chase would be nice for a few 

It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself

Polly said

Polly says her back hurts 
She's just as bored as me 
She caught me off my guard 
It amazes me, the will of instinct 

It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself

Little Sadie performed by the Grateful Dead

Fun little tune:) Love me the guitar.

Went out last night to take a look around
Met little Sadie and I blowed her down
Went right home, went to bed
Forty-four smokeless under my head

Well I began to think what a deed I'd done
Grabbed my hat and away I run
Made a good run, but a little too slow
They overtook me in Jericho

I'm standing on the corner reading a bill
Along came the sheriff from Thomasville
Says "Young man, is your name Brown?
Remember the night you blowed Sadie down?"

Oh, yes sir, my name is Lee
I murdered little Sadie in the first degree
First degree and the second degree
Got any papers would you read 'em to me

Well they took me downtown all dressed in black
Put me on the train and sent me back
Sent me back to the county jail
I had nobody for to go my bail

The judge and the jury they took the stand
The judge held the paper in his right hand
Forty-one days, forty-one nights
Forty-one years to wear the ball and stripes

Breakeven by The Script


I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in
Cause I got time while she got freedom
Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven... even... no

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you, 
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're ok
I'm falling to pieces, yeah, 
I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven even... no

What am I gonna to do when the best part of me was always you,
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're ok
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces

Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
Now I'm try'na make sense of what little remains ooh
Causes you left me with no love and no love to my name.

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in
Cause I got time while she got freedom
Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break 
No it don't break 
No it don't break even no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up that you're ok
I'm falling to pieces yeah
I'm falling to pieces yeah
I'm falling to pieces

Oh it don't break even no
Oh it don't break even no
Oh it don't break even no


Three Hits by Indigo Girls


Loved the Indigo Girls since I was a kid. Such pretty words. "You say 'mother do you claim me', My beloved do you blame me..."

Three hits to the heart son
And it's poetry in motion
One could send you down the river
Three's a strange way to be delivered

Would you trade your words for freedom?
That's a barter for a blind man
Three hits to the heart son
And it's poetry in motion

Are you leveed like a treasure?
Only words can help me find you
And this world's a fickle measure
I will painfully remind you

From a wise man to your red hand
You lay covered in our best sins
Three hits to the heart son
And it's poetry in motion

Well I dream you constant stranger
With your best bloods and your anger
You say, "Mother do you claim me?"
My beloved do you blame me?
Well the first two might release you
But the last one sings in me son

Three hits to the heart son
And it's poetry in motion
Three hits to the heart son
And the last one sings in me

Benny and the Jets by Elton John

In honor of my dog Benson who passed aways five years ago today. Forever in my heart!


Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out, 
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets

Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out, 
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets

Won't Back Down performed by Eddie Vedder

Love this song! Great version! "Well I know what's right, I got just one life..."

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down, no I won't back down

You can stand my ground, won't be turned around
In a world that keeps on pushing me round
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey, I will stand my ground
And I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey I there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down


Hey babe, there ain't no easy way out
Hey, I will stand my ground
And I won't back down


And I won't back down





And I won't back down

Carnival by Natalie Merchant


Well, I've walked these streets
A virtual stage, it seemed to me
Makeup on their faces
Actors took their places next to me

Well, I've walked these streets
In a carnival, of sights to see
All the cheap thrill seekers vendors and the dealers
They crowded around me

Have I been blind have I been lost
Inside myself and my own mind
Hypnotized, mesmerized by what my eyes have seen?
By what they have seen

Well, I've walked these streets
In a spectacle of wealth and poverty
In the diamond markets the scarlet welcome carpet
That they just rolled out for me

And I've walked these streets
In the madhouse asylum they can be
Where a wild-eyed misfit prophet
On a traffic island stopped and he raved of saving me

Have I been blind, have I been lost
Have I been blind, have I been mean
Have I been strong

Hypnotized, mesmerized by what my eyes have seen
In that great street carnival, in that carnival?


Box of Rain by the Grateful Dead

Perfect song to pick me up on this rainy day:) First song I attempted to teach myself on the guitar. Don't remember how now..."It's all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago..."

Look out of any window
Any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
Birds are winging or
Rain is falling from a heavy sky -

What do you want me to do,
To do for you to see you through?
This is all a dream we dreamed
One afternoon long ago

Walk out of any doorway
Feel your way, feel your way
Like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
Around some corner
Where it's been waiting to meet you -

What do you want me to do,
To watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
When you find me dreaming too

Look into any eyes
You find by you, you can see
Clear through to another day
I know it's been seen before
Through other eyes on other days
while going home -

What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago

Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
With words half spoken
And thoughts unclear

What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through
A a box of rain will ease the pain
and love will see you through

Just a box of rain -
wind and water -
Believe it if you need it,
if you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -
Wind and rain -
in and out the window
like a moth before a flame

It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
and a short time to be there

Crossroads by Eric Clapton

Can't beat some Clapton! Reminds me of my dad:)

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
Asked the Lord above for mercy, "Save me if you please."

I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by.

I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side.
I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side.
You can still barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside.

You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown.
You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy Willie Brown.
And I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down.

Jerry Garcia cover band

Pure Jerry

Ramble on Rose by the Grateful Dead

Some seriously true words: "The grass ain't greener, the wine ain't sweeter, Either side of the hill..."

Just like Jack the Ripper
Just like Mojo Hand
Just like Billy Sunday
In a shotgun rag-time band

Just like New York City
Just like Jericho
Pace the halls and climb the walls
And get out when they blow

Did you say your name was Rambling Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose

Just like Jack and Jill
Mama told the sailor
One heat up and one cool down
Leave nothing for the tailor

Just like Jack and Jill
Papa told the sailor
One go up and one come down
Do yourself a favor


Did you say your name was Rambling Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose


I'm gonna sing you
A hundred verses of ragtime
I know this song
It ain't never gonna end
I'm gonna march you up and down
Along the county line
Take you to the leader
Of the band

Just like Crazy Otto
Just like Wolfman Jack
Sitting plush with a royal flush
Aces back to back

Just like Mary Shelley
Just like Frankenstein
Break your chains and count your change
And try to walk the line


Did you say your name was Rambling Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose

I'm gonna sing you
A hundred verses of ragtime
I know this song
It ain't never gonna end
I'm gonna march you up and down
Along the county line
Take you to the leader
Of the band



Goodbye Mama and Papa
Goodbye Jack and Jill
The grass ain't greener, the wine ain't sweeter
Either side of the hill


Did you say your name was Rambling Rose?
Ramble on baby, settle down easy
Ramble on Rose

Wading in the Velvet Sea by Phish

I remember them this young:) Good ole days! "You won't find moments in a box..."


I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea
I've been wading in the velvet sea

I've been wading in the
I've been wading in the

I took a moment from my day
And wrapped it up in things you say
And mailed it off to your address
You'll get it pretty soon unless

The packaging begins to break
And all the points I tried to make
Tossed them thoughts into a bin
Time leaks out, my life leaks in

You won't find moments in a box
And someone else will set your clocks
I took a moment from my day
And wrapped it up in things you say
And mailed it off to you

You won't find moments in a box
And someone else will set your clocks
I took a moment from my day

I've been wading in the velvet sea...

Proudest Monkey by Dave Matthews Band

Pretty song.


Swing in this tree
Oh I am bounce around so well
Branch to branch,
limb to limb you see

All in a day's dream
I'm stuck
Like the other monkeys here
Me I am a humble monkey
Sitting up in my tree again

But then came the day
I climbed out of these safe limbs
Ventured away
Walking tall, head high up and singing
I went to the city
Car horns, corners and the gritty

Now I am the proudest monkey
You've ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do

Then comes the day
Staring at myself I turn to question me
I wonder do I want the simple
That I once lived in my tree
Oh things were quiet then
In a way they were the better days

But now I am the proudest monkey
You've ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do

Rosemary by the Grateful Dead


Such a sad song but pretty nontheless;)

Boots were made of leather, a breath of cologne
The mirror was a window, she sat by alone

All around her the garden grew
Scarlet and purple and crimson and blue

She came dead, she went and at last went away
The garden was sealed, when the flowers decayed

On the wall of the garden a legend did say
No one may come here, since no one may stay

Drive By by Train

I am embarrassed to admit that I like this song but it is too fun to dance to with a 13 little four year olds:)

On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's deja vu
But I thought this can't be true
Cause you moved to west L.A or New York or Santa Fe
Or where ever to get away from me

Oh but that one night
Was more than just right
I didn't leave you cause I was all through
Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you

Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by I-I-I-I
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
Hefty bag to hold my I-I-I-I love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
The way you do me
Oh I swear to ya
I'll be there for ya
This is not a drive by


On the other side of a downward spiral
My love for you went viral
And I loved you every mile you drove away
But now here you are again
So let's skip the "how you been"
And get down to the "more than friends" at last

Oh but that one night
Is still the highlight
I didn't need you until I came to
Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you

Oh I swear to ya
I'll be there for ya
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a 2 ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
The way you do me
Oh I swear to ya
I'll be there for ya
This is not a drive by

Please believe that when I leave
There's nothing up my sleeve but love for you
And a little time to get my head together too

On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's deja vu
But I thought this can't be true
Cause

Oh I swear to ya
I'll be there for ya
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
The way you do me
Oh I swear to ya
I'll be there for ya
This is not a drive by

Sugaree by Anders Osborne, George Porter Jr. Stanton Moore...

I so wish I had a hammock like the one in this! I need to get some more trees to hang it on first...Great cover of this song!!! "One last voice is calling you, And I guess it's time you go..."


When they come to take you down
When they bring that wagon around
When they come to call on you
And drag your poor body down

Just one thing I ask of you
Just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name
My darlin' Sugaree

Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me

You thought you was the cool cool fool
And never could do no wrong
Had everything sewn up so tight
But you lay awake all night long?

Just one thing I ask of you
Just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name
My darlin' Sugaree

Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me

You know, in spite of all you gained
You still had to stand out in the pouring rain
One last voice is calling you
And I guess it's time you go

Just one thing I ask of you
Just one thing for me
Please forget you knew my name
My darlin' Sugaree

Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me

Shake it up now Sugaree
I'll meet you at the jubilee
And if that jubilee don't come
Baby I'll meet you on the run

Just one thing I ask of you
Just one thing for me
Please forget you know my name
My darlin' Sugaree

Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me

Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me
Shake it, shake it Sugaree
Just don't tell them that you know me

Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes by Paul Simon


Love the dancers and singers in this video! Reminds me of my broski;) "Well that's one way to lose these walking blues, Diamonds on the soles of her shoes..."

She's a rich girl 
She don't try to hide it 
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

He's a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose

Sing ta na na
Ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

People say she's crazy 
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes 
Well that's one way to lose these walking blues 
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

She was physically forgotten
Then she slipped into my pocket with my car keys
She said you've taken me for granted because I please you 
Wearing these diamonds

And I could say oo oo oo
As if everybody knows 
What I'm talking about 
As if everybody would know 
Exactly what I was talking about 
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes

She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes
And puts on after-shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes

And she said honey take me dancing
But they ended up by sleeping
In a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on Upper broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes

And I could say oo oo oo
As if everybody here would know
What I was talking about
I mean everybody here would know exactly
What I was talking about
Talking about diamonds

People say I'm crazy 
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes 
Well that's one way to lose 
These walking blues 
Diamonds on the soles of your shoes

Under My Thumb by The Rolling Stones

Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around

It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb


Ain't it the truth, babe?

Under my thumb
The squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways

It's down to me, yes it is
The way she does just what she's told
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah, ah, say it's alright

Under my thumb
A siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
She's the sweetest, hmmm, pet in the world

It's down to me
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Ah, take it easy babe
Yeah

It's down to me, oh yeah
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Yeah, it feels alright

Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb, well I
I can still look at someone else

It's down to me, oh that's what I said
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Say, it's alright.

Say it's all...
Say it's all...

Take it easy babe
Take it easy babe
Feels alright
Take it, take it easy babe
