If the song fits...describe yourself with songs

[SexyCowgirl]

This thread is sorta like the song for a day one, but sometimes my songs are good only for a moment, a feeling, a person.

Do you ever hear a song, and swear it was just written for, well, whatever? I hear them all the time, songs that put what you think or feel into words, just right. When you hear them, come post and tell us about it!

[SexyCowgirl]

heard one today that just described how I sometimes feel about my husband sometimes. It's by Pearl Jam



Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over...
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man (2x)
Ohh...

Talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know...
She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along...
Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
Can't find a better man (2x)
Yeah...

She loved him, yeah...she don't want to leave this way
She feeds him, yeah...that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man (3x)
Can't find a better...man...
Ohh...ohh...
Uh huh... (5x)
Ohh...

[confusedman]

Great topic SC. Tough one for me though...I have an entire soundtrack that tells her how I feel. At this moment in time, though, this is the song on my mind...

Jimmy Buffett - Anything Anytime Anywhere Lyrics

Tomorrow may come, it usually does
Don't know what it will bring to the two of us
I just want you to know
What I'm ready to do

Anything, anytime, anywhere
For you

When I'm holding you tight, you give me the power
To burn like a torch in the darkest hour
Tell me what you need
I will surely come through

Anything, anytime, anywhere
For you

Passion runs deep, it's scary sometimes
When it's larger than life or your peace of mind
It's got me all the same
And I'm not sorry that's true

Anything, anytime, anywhere
For you
Anything, anytime, anywhere
For you
Anything, anytime, anywhere
For you

[SexyCowgirl]

Thats a sweet one confused, very heartfelt......

Great song!

Lady by Kenny Rogers

Lady, Im your knight in shining armor and I love you
You have made me what I am and I am yours
My love, theres so many ways I want to say I love you
Let me hold you in my arms forever more

You have gone and made me such a fool
Im so lost in your love
And oh, we belong together
Wont you believe in my song?

Lady, for so many years I thought Id never find you
You have come into my life and made me whole
Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear

In my eyes I see no one else but you
Theres no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes, Ill always want you near me
Ive waited for you for so long

Lady, your loves the only love I need
And beside me is where I want you to be
cause, my love, theres somethin I want you to know
Youre the love of my life, youre my lady!

[loli_se53]

"My Immortal"

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]

[Shiane]

LOL I don't know why but this song reminds me of someone here! In fact it reminds me of more than one! ;)


Jacky Don Tucker was my Daddy's little brother
And at seventeen he jumped the fence
He joined a rock n roll band, got a tattoo on his hand
Granny said he never had a lick of sense
cause by the time he turned seven he was a stealin watermelons
Playin house with the girl next door
Drinkin muscadine wine by the time he was nine
Sneakin out and smokin cigarettes under the porch

He was a melon stealin'
Cop-a-feelin'
Daredevil fool
A do-it-anywayin'
Playin' hooky from school
A water tower poet class of 73
He'd say by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me
cause Im skinny dippin' finger flippin' son of a gun
Play by the rules
You're gonna miss all the fun

He was always drag racin and he kept the sheriff chasin'
But they never caught ole Jacky Don
'cause he was nobodys fool, the definition of cool
He even cut a donut on the courthouse lawn
He created quite a scandal that the locals couldn't handle
When he took up with the preachers baby girl
They bought a new double wide and on their wedding night
Aunt Jenny went to rockin'
Uncle Jacky Don's world

He was a melon stealin'
Cop-a-feelin'
Daredevil fool
A do-it-anywayin'
Playin' hooky from school
A water tower poet class of 73
He'd say by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me
cause Im skinny dippin' finger flippin' son of a gun
Play by the rules
You're gonna miss all the fun

He was a melon stealin'
Cop-a-feelin'
Daredevil fool
A do-it-anywayin'
Playin' hooky from school
A water tower poet class of 73
He'd say by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me
cause Im skinny dippin finger flippin son of a gun
Play by the rules
You're gonna miss all the fun

Play by the rules
You're gonna miss all the fun

Today, I heard one I hadn't heard in a long time. In high school we used to joke, it described us just perfect, except I just roughed up her ex, never killed him, although it will be a long time before he sees the sun without bars in the sky:) And it always reminds me of my best friends husband, and a couple of her exes, and what I'd like to do to them;)

Dixie Chicks, Goodbye Earl

Maryanne and Wanda were the best of friends, all through their highschool days
both members of the four H club, both active in the FFA
After graduation Maryanne went out, looking for a bright new world
Wanda looked all around this town, and all she found was Earl
Well it wasn't 2 weeks after she got married that Wanda started getting abused
She put on dark glasses, and long sleeved blouses, and makeup to cover her bruise
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce, she let the law take it from there
But Earl walked right through that restraining order, and put her in intensive care
Right away Maryanne flew in from atlanta on a red eye, midnight flight
She held Wanda's hand, and they worked out a plan, and it didn't take them long to dicide

That Earl had to die...

Goodbye Earl
Those black eyed peas, they tasted alright to me, Earl
You feelin' week? Why don't you lay down and sleep, Earl
Aint it dark, wrapped up in that tarp, Earl?

The cops came by to bring earl in, they searched the house high and low
Then they tipped thier hats and said thank you ladies, if you hear from him, let us know
well, the weeks went by and spring turned to summer and summer faded into the fall
and it turns out he was a missin person who nobody missed at all
so the girls bought some land at a road side stand, down on highway 109
they sell tennesee ham and strawberry jam, and they don't lose any sleep at night

Cause Earl had to die...

Goodbye Earl
We need a break...
Lets go out to the lake Earl
We'll pack a lunch, and stuff you in the trunk, Earl
Is that alright? Good! Lets go for a ride, Earl. Hey!

Well, hey hey hey!
Aww hey hey hey!
Well, hey hey hey

[confusedman]

I think there is now someone who can relate to these lyrics on a different level...

I'm a Believer - by The Monkees

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
Thats the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw her face, now Im a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
Im in love, Im a believer!
I couldnt leave her if I tried.

I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
Whats the use in tryin?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.

Then I saw her face, now Im a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
Im in love, Im a believer!
I couldnt leave her if I tried.

O got one got one....


I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,

I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,

I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair,

And send him on his way.


If a man don't understand you,

If you fly on separate beams,

Waste no time, make a change,

Ride that man right off your range.

Rub him out of the roll call

And drum him out of your dreams.


Oho! If you laugh at different comics,

If you root for different teams,

Waste no time, weep no more,

Show him what the door is for.

Rub him out of the roll call

And drum him out of your dreams.

You can't light a fire when the woods are wet,

You can't make a butterfly strong,

You can't fix an egg when it ain't quite good,

And you can't fix a man when he's wrong!

You can't put back a petal when it falls from a flower,

Or sweeten up a fellow when he starts turnin' sour

If his eyes get dull and fishy,

When you look for glints and gleams,

Waste no time,

Make a switch,

Drop him in the nearest ditch!

Rub him out of the roll call,

And drum him out of your dreams

I went to wash that man right outa my hair,

I went to wash that man right outa my hair,

I went to wash that man right outa my hair,

And sent him on his way.

Interpretations welcome... :D

Ohhhh boy, this one is a good song! sounds all light and fluffy, but gosh.......

Then What
by Clay Walker
album: Rumor Has It (1997)
Well I got a good friend who's got a good life
He's got two pretty children and a real nice wife
Yet he never seems quite satisfied
I said I know what's on your mind
But you better think about it before you cross that line
The grass aint always greener on the other side

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it aint really love and it aint really lust
You aint anybody anybody's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what

Well I aint saying that looking's a crime
Well I've done my share from time to time
It dont mean that you gotta take that leap
When you're standin' on the brink
Before you jump you gotta step back and think
There's price for ever promise you dont keep

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it aint really love and it aint really lust
You aint anybody anybody's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what

Do want you want, do want you wish
It's your life but remember this
There's bound to be some consequences
Sneaking under other fences

Then what, what you gonna do
When the new wears off and the old shines through
And it aint really love and it aint really lust
You aint anybody anybody's gonna trust
Then what, where you gonna turn
When you cant turn back for the bridges you burn
And fate can't wait to kick you in the butt
Then what

"A Million Miles Away"

Here we lay face to face once again
Silence cuts like a knife as we pretend.
And I'm wondering who will be the first to say what we both know
We're just holding on to "could have been"s and we should be letting go.

[Chorus:]
It feels like you're a million miles away as you're lying here with me tonight.
I can't even find the words to say I can find a way to make it right.
And we both know that the story's ending,
We play the part but we're just pretending and I can't hide the tears
'cause even though you're here,
It feels like you're a million miles away.

Was it me, or was it you that broke away?
For what we were is like a season love is change
And every time I think about it, it tears me up inside.
Like the rivers of emotion but I got no more tears to cry.

[Chorus:]


We can try to talk it over but we walked that road before,
While our song is playing its last note,
We both know for sure that it's time to close that door.

[Chorus:]

[One Song Hero]

I've always liked this song from the seventies, so many of my crushes never had a chance to blossom mostly because I was too shy to give them light.

I Like Dreamin by Kenny Nolan

I like dreamin'
Cause dreamin' can make you mine
I like dreamin'
Closing my eyes and feeling fine
When the lights go down
I'm holding you so tight
Got you in my arms
And it's paradise 'til the morning light

I see us on the shore beneath the bright sunshine
We've walked along St Thomas beach a million times
Hand in hand, two barefoot lovers kissin' in the sand
Side by side, the tide rolls in
I'm touching you, you're touching me
If only it could be

I like dreamin'
Cause dreamin' can make you mine
I like dreamin'
Closing my eyes and feeling fine
When the lights go down
I'm holding you so tight
Got you in my arms
And it's paradise 'til the morning light

Through each dream how our love has grown
I see us with our children and our happy home
Little smiles, so warm and tender looking up at us
Blessed by love, the world we share
Until I wake and reach for you
And you're just not there

I like dreamin'
'Cause dreaming can make you mine
I like holding you close and touching your skin
Even if it's in my mind
Sweet dream baby, I love you
Oooh, my sweet dream baby
Don't keep me waitin' all my life
I need you
Sweet dream baby, I love you
Oooh, sweet dream baby
Your in my dreams every night

[MIGHTY]

Come A Little Closer
Written by Brett Beavers & Dierks Bentley

Come a little closer baby
I feel like layin you down
On a bed of sweet surrender
Where we can work it all out
There ain't nothin that love can't fix
Girl it's right here at our finger tips
So come a little closer baby
I feel like layin you down

Come a little closer baby
I feel like lettin go
Of everything that stand between us
And the love we used to know
I wanna touch you like a crimson robe
And let it wash all youu hurt away
So come a little closer baby
I feel like lettin go

If there's still a chance than take my hand
And we'll steal away
Off into the night
Until we make things right
The sun's gonna rise, on a better day

Come a little closer baby
I feel like strippin it down
Back to the basics of you and me
And what makes the world go round
Every inch of you accross my skin
I wanna be stronger than we've ever been
So come a little closer baby
I feel like strippin it down

Come a little closer baby
Just a little bit closer baby
Come a little closer baby
I feel like layin you down

[MIGHTY]

Settle For A Slowdown
Written by Tony Martin, Brett Beavers & Dierks Bentley

I must look just like a fool
Here in the middle of the road
Standin' there in your rearview
And gettin' soaked to the bone
This land is flat as it is mean
A man can see for a hundred miles
So im still praying I might see
The glow of a brake light

CHORUS
But your wheels just turn, down the road ahead
If it hurts at all you aint showed it yet
I keep a lookin' for the slightest sign
That you might miss what you left behind
I know there's nothing stopping you now
But I'd settle for a slowdown

I held on longer then I should
Leaving you might change your mind
Those bright lights of Hollywood
Would fade in time

REPEAT CHORUS

But your wheels just turn, down the road ahead
If it hurts at all you aint showed it yet
Your just a tiny dot, on that horizon line Come on tap those brakes baby just one time
I know there's nothing stopping you now
I'm not asking you to turn back around
I'd settle for a slowdown
Come on just slow down
I'd settle for a slow down.

She Thinks My Tractors Sexy.........This one goes out to long and u no what I mean with this one! He's my sexy farmer!

[SexyCowgirl]

Those are two of my favs there Mighty!

[Sneaky]

Spike Heel

She likes spike heels and a steel toe
A stick shift and a scandal
A stiff drink and a voh-dee-oh-doh
She’ll get you too hot to handle

She’s a hip chick
got real thick lips
fake eyelashes and licorice whips
squeaky clean teeth and a freaky mystique
stay one night you can’t walk for a week

I heard she worked you over down to your last nerve
you tried to play it straight but she threw you a curve
and just when you were thinking of giving her the boot
she showed up for supper in her birthday suit

cuz she likes spike heels and a steel toe
stick shift and a scandal
stiff drink and a voh-dee-oh-doh
she’ll get you too hot to handle
she’ll get you too hot to handle

[hoss]

Cream


In the white room with black curtains near the station.
Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment.

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.

You said no strings could secure you at the station.
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
I walked into such a sad time at the station.
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning.

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back;
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten.
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves.
