Girl Of Mine

lyrics by RSS & CBP
(Verse 1) Spent the night in the Colorado Mountain Is playin' for a dollar to pay my bills She walked by and caught my eye Stole the air right out the sky And made forget every song I ever wrote (Chorus) Oh that mountain air it makes me dizzy It messes with my midwestern mind Colorado girls are so damn pretty They almost make me forget that girl of mine (Verse 2) Nothin' more hot than an Alabama summer Pickin' strings just trying to make a dime She sat there in a broken chair Runnin' her fingers through her hair Makin' me wish she’d come do that to mine (Chorus) That Southern air it makes me dizzy Messes with my midwestern mind Alabama girls are so damn pretty They almost make me forget that girl of mine Ohhh There’s somethin in the air out there Ohhh American girls, ooo I swear And ohhh When you’re on the road so far from home Hotel rooms get mighty cold I need something to warm my bones Can’t stand another night Alone (Chorus) Indiana air it drives me crazy Fills the soul of my midwestern mind Cause I know I’m getting closer to my baby And pretty soon I’ll be lovin' that girl of mine Oooh I love that girl of mine

History

lyrics by RSS
(Verse 1) Finally I'm settled in comfortable with my new friends Waking up and I don’t have to pretend That everything is good again (Chorus) History...moves so fast And chases you with the past Our darkest days may not always last But you can never get those hours back (Verse 2) The other day you called me on the phone Everything you said it was all wrong You expected me to roll over But I held my own My weakest days they’re all gone (Chorus) (Bridge) How many times Did you walk away How many times Did you break my heart How many times Did I take you back How many times did I fall apart (Chorus x2)
So...jam on verse??

Please and Thank You

lyrics by K. Smelser
(Verse 1) Monday mornin' Please and thank you Time goes by and I can't forget you The smile in your eyes... (Verse 2) I’ll keep walkin this road But I'm bound to miss you Memories of pain, memories of bliss, too That time I said goodbye (Chorus) Sometimes we walk alone Sometimes someone smiles and they walk us home We're right where we need to We do what we do... Please and thank you (Verse 3) The door’s been closed Now you are free But I still wonder what could be That time you lit my sky (Verse 4) Walk through time We can’t always see Sometimes I smile Sometimes I can only breathe And the wind keeps blowin' by (Chorus) (Bridge/Outro) We all do What we gotta do Please and thank you X4

Please Just Leave

lyrics by RSS
(Chorus) Baby baby baby please I’m down here on my bended knees I ain’t askin' you to stay I'm beggin' honey please just leave ‘Cause if you ain’t happy Let us both be free (Verse 1) I see you perched there like a hawk Searching for a little prey to stalk How ‘bout next time you take flight And you’re out there half the night Just stay gone ‘cause I’m gon need some time to sulk (Chorus) (Verse 2) I ain’t sayin you’re the only one to blame No I know I deserve ‘bout half that shame But ever since you took my name Baby things ain’t been the same And the love we had turned into an awful shame (Chorus)
...or her sister?

Rotella

lyrics by DBall
(VERSE 1) I think I’m starting to see you And you don’t have to say a thing You keep going back and forth between these values And weighing out the feelings each one brings (BRIDGE) Is your soul just like a loaded gun Without a target Locked inside this transparent frame I say that you’re no different, then From any other So laugh and have a drink, it’s all the same (CHORUS) Rotella steal my light And every time I steal it back I die I’m wasting too much time Wondering where these pieces fit Instead of simply living out this life (VERSE 2) I think I’m starting to see you Reaching out from where you are Like sunlight splintering through a cloud covered sky You’ll make it soon, my friend, you’re not that far (BRIDGE) Is your soul just like a loaded gun Without a target Locked inside this transparent frame I say that you’re no different, then From any other So laugh and have a drink, and take your aim (CHORUS)
Now in C...are these verses or choruses..?

She's The One For Me

lyrics by RSS
(Verse 1) She’s the one for me She’s the one for me There’s been so many nights Of bites, fights, and whiskey But when we settled down She settled down with me She stands right by my side She lays right there by my side We’ve woke up together At least a five-thousand times When my mind goes dark She brings peace to my life (She’s the one for me verse again) My head it rolled like thunder My heart, it was a hurricane And the whole world Seemed to lose its wonder She came along And took away the rain (She’s the one for me verse again)
Inspired by the 1906 Chicago stockyards...right?

Upton Sinclair

lyrics by Heath Rusk
(Verse 1) In beginning it was me and you Surrounded by corruption and the hound dog blues Railroad tracks Hammering jacks Made a little money Now there’s no lookin back (Chorus) Let’s go to Chicago I read those roads are paved in gold Best leave now or we’ll never know We will never know, because we’ll never go (Verse 2) This Family man left one day For an ice cold place and a job that paid I can do the same with a new name a family by my side and the gospel pride (Verse 3) The work was hard and his body sore Paid so little that he can't afford That's the life on Chicago’s shore Let the waves roar Let the waves roar (Chorus) (Bridge) Chicago time On this watch of mine Some men will win But most will just die tryin (Chorus x2)
