| Country Hall of Fame by Hank Locklin I was roaming round in Nashville in the state of Tennessee For I love that country music it's as soulful as can be I have gathered their the records for I cherished every name So I found myself a standing in the Country Hall of Fame My heart beat somewhat faster as I walked in through the door For I heard the sound of voices I had often heard before A happy kind of sadness brought a teardrop to my eye Now I'll tell you what I saw there and I'm sure that you'll see why Jimmie Rodgers' railroad lantern and his faithful old guitar I could hear that old blue yodel coming from somewhere afar Roy Acuff in bronze likeness with that great Fred Rose his friend And I heard that Wabash Cannonball somewhere around the bend The guitar of Eddy Arnold memories of Cattle Call Chet Atkins will be with him when the work's all done this fall From the autoharp of Maybelle Wildwood Flower seems to ring Riley Puckett and Gid Tanner how they all could pick and sing I could hear George Hay announcin' as I stood there in the room I could hear Tex Ritter singing his classic song High Noon Minnie Pearl so glad to be there and Hank Snow keeps Movin' On May the Lord bless those still living and the ones who's joined his throne Cowboy Copas Hankshaw Hawkins Gentleman Jim and Patsy Cline Rod Bradsfield Ira Louvin these stars will always shine Ernest Tubb and great Red Foley and Hank Williams bless his name Though some are gone they'll live forever in the Country Hall of Fame |

| Half Acre by Hem (Dan Messe) I am holding half an acre Torn from the map of Michigan And folded in this scrap of paper Is the land I grew in. Think of every town you've lived in Every room you lay your head And what is it that you remember. Do you carry every sadness with you Every hour your heart was broken Every night the fear and darkness Lay down with you. A man is walking on the highway A woman stares out at the sea And light is only now just breaking. So we carry every sadness with us Every hour our hearts were broken Every night the fear and darkness Lay down with us. But I am holding half an acre Torn from the map of Michigan I am carrying this scrap of paper. That can crack the darkest sky wide open Every burden taken from me Every night my heart unfolding My home. |

| Green Grow The Rushes by R.E.M. The wheelbarrow’s fallen Look at my hands They’ve found some surplus cheaper hands Rubbing palms and pick and choose, who will they choose? Here is the news. Look at that building, look at this man Halloed and whitewashed Gone to find a cheaper hand He’ll offer a pound, offer a pound. Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go The compass points the workers home Pay for your freedom, find another gate Guilt by associate, the rushes wilted a long time ago Guilty as you go Stay off that highway, word is it’ s not so safe The grasses that hide the greenback The amber waves of gain again The amber waves of gain Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go |
| Tumbling Dice by The Rolling Stones Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to waste me And make me burn the candle right down, But baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown. 'Cause all you women is low down gamblers, Cheatin' like I don't know how, But baby, baby, there's fever in the funk house now. This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin', You know you know the duece is still wild. Baby, I can't stay, you got to roll me And call me the tumblin' dice. Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry, Don't you see the time flashin' by. Honey, got no money, I'm all sixes and sevens and nines. Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsider, You can be my partner in crime. But baby, I can't stay, You got to roll me and call me the tumblin', Roll me and call me the tumblin' dice. Oh, my, my, my, I'm the lone crap shooter, Playin' the field ev'ry night. Baby, can't stay, You got to roll me and call me the tumblin' (dice), Roll me and call me the tumblin' (Got to roll me.) dice. Got to roll me. Got to roll me. |
| Catch The Wind by Donovan In the chilly hours and minutes, Of uncertainty, I want to be, In the warm hold of your loving mind. To feel you all around me, And to take your hand, along the sand, Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind. When sundown pales the sky, I wanna hide a while, behind your smile, And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find. For me to love you now, Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing, Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind. When rain has hung the leaves with tears, I want you near, to kill my fears To help me to leave all my blues behind. For standin' in your heart, Is where I want to be, and I long to be, Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind. |

| The Song From Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart?) by John Gary (Words by William Engvick and Music by Georges Aurie) Whenever we kiss I worry and wonder Your lips may be near But where is your heart It's always like this I worry and wonder You're close to me here But where is your heart It's a sad thing to realize That you've a heart that never melts When we kiss, do you close your eyes Pretending that I'm someone else You must break the spell This cloud that I'm under So please won't you tell Darling, where is your heart |
| Blue Moon by Rod Stewart & Eric Clapton Blue Moon You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own. Blue Moon You know just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for. And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will hold I heard somebody whisper please adore me And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold. Blue Moon Now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own. And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will ever hold I heard somebody whisper please adore me And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold. Blue moon Now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own. |
| In My Life By The Beatles There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more In my life I love you more |
| I Will Remember You by Sarah McLachlan I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories Remember the good times that we had? I let them slip away from us when things got bad How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories I'm so tired but I can't sleep Standin' on the edge of something much too deep It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard But I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light And I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories And I will remember you Will you remember me? Don't let your life pass you by Weep not for the memories Weep not for the memories |
| Come As You Are by Nirvana Come, as you are. As you were. As I want you to be. As a friend. As a friend. As an old enemy. Take your time. Hurry up. The choice is yours. Don't be late. Take a rest. As a friend. As a old memory, memory, memory, memory. Come. Dowsed in mud. Soaked in bleach. As I want you to be. As a trend. As a friend. As an old memory, memory, memory, memory. And I swear that I don't have a gun. No I don't have a gun. No I don't have a gun. Memory, memory, memory, memory (don't have a gun). And I swear that I don't have a gun. No I don't have a gun. No I don't have a gun. No I don't have a gun. No I don't have a gun. Memory, memory... |
| Horse Called Music by Randy Travis High on a mountain in western Montana A silhouette moves cross a cinnamon sky Ridin' along on a horse he called Music With a song on his lips, and a tear in his eye He dreams of a time, and a lady that loved him and how he would sing her sweet lullabies but we don't ever ask him, and he never talks about her I guess its just better that we just let it slide And he sings Oooh to the ladies and Oooh he makes 'em sigh Now he rides away on a horse he calls Music With a pain in his heart, and a tear in his eye He rode the Music from Boston to Bozeman For not too much money, ha, but way too much ride But those were the days when a horse he called Music Could jump through the moon and scale across the sky Now all thats left is a time old worn cowboy With nothing more than the sweet by and by And trailin' behind is a horse with no rider A horse he calls Memories that she used to ride And he sang Oooh to the ladies and Oooh he damn near made some fall right down and die Now he rides away on a horse he called Music With a pain in his heart, and a tear in his eye High on a mountain in western Montana Two crosses cut through a cinnamon sky Marking a place where a horse he called Music Lays with a cowboy in the sweet by and by |
