My Old Friend


My old friend, I recall

The times we had hanging on my wall

I wouldn't trade them for gold

Cause they laugh and they cry me

Somehow sanctify me

Their woven in the stories I have told

And tell again



My old friend, I apologize

For the years that have passed

Since the last time you and I

Dusted off those memories

But the running and the races

The people and the places

There's always somewhere else I had to be

Time gets slim, my old friend



Don't know why, don't know why

Don't know why, don't know why



My old friend, this song's for you

Cause a few a few simple verses

Was the least that I could do

To tell the world that you were here

Cause the love and the laughter

Will live long after

All of the sadness and the tears

We'll meet again, my old friend



Goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye



My old friend, my old friend

Goodbye, goodbye

Back When


Don't you remember

The fizz in a pepper

Peanuts in a bottle

At ten, two and four

A fried bologna sandwich

With mayo and tomato

Sittin' round the table

Don't happen much anymore



We got too complicated

It's all way over-rated

I like the old and out-dated

Way of life



Back when a hoe was a hoe

Coke was a coke

And crack's what you were doing

When you were cracking jokes

Back when a screw was a screw

The wind was all that blew

And when you said I'm down with that

Well it meant you had the flu

I miss back when

I miss back when

I miss back when



I love my records

Black, shiny vinyl

Clicks and pops

And white noise

Man they sounded fine

I had my favorite stations

The ones that played them all

Country, soul and rock-and-roll

What happened to those times?



I'm readin' Street Slang For Dummies

Cause they put pop in my country

I want more for my money

The way it was back then



Back when a hoe was a hoe

Coke was a coke

And crack's what you were doing

When you were cracking jokes

Back when a screw was a screw

The wind was all that blew

And when you said I'm down with that

Well it meant you had the flu

I miss back when

I miss back when

I miss back when



Give me a flat top for strumming

I want the whole world to be humming

Just keep it coming

The way it was back then



Back when a hoe was a hoe

Coke was a coke

And crack's what you were doing

When you were cracking jokes

Back when a screw was a screw

The wind was all that blew

And when you said I'm down with that

Well it meant you had the flu

I miss back when

I miss back when

I miss back when

Tim McGraw - You Turn Me On Lyrics


  Yeah I swore off love
  I swore off women
  Devoted my life to huntin' and fishin'
  I'd never be anyone else's lovesick fool
  It ain't cool
  I spend all my spare time
  Fixin' up
  That old rusted up pick-up truck
  In no time at all
  I'd have it lookin' like brand new
  Then you
 
  Flipped the switch on my dumaflachi
  Played my piano like Liberace
  I let down my guard
  And my heart was as good as gone
  So long
  Yeah ya cranked my tractor
  Ya flicked my bic
  Woman you trip my trigger on my thing-a-majig
  Can't explain how ya done it
  But honey you turn me on
 
  Ya look at all the takin'
  I done all the gettin'
  I threw up my hands, said
  The heck with it
  I shut down my heart
  Locked it up and pulled the fuse
  Before it blew
  All my emotions were disconnected
  No sign of a spark
  Could be detected
  I had nobody
  So I had nothing to lose
  Then you---
 
  Flipped the switch on my dumaflachi
  Played my piano like Liberace
  I let down my guard
  And my heart was as good as gone
  So long
  Yeah ya cranked my tractor
  Ya flicked my bic
  Woman you trip my trigger on my thing-a-majig
  Can't explain how ya done it
  But honey you turn me on
 
  Yeah ya crank my tractor
  Ya flick my bic
  Woman you trip the trigger on my thing-a-majig
  Can't explain how you done it
  But honey you turn me on---
 
  I can't handle that baby
  You better slow down

Tim McGraw - One of These Days Lyrics


  [Chorus: sampled singer (Inpsectah Deck)]
  One of these days and you wont be long (It wont be long now)
  One of these days and you wont be long (You bound to come up)
  One of these days and you wont be long (Keep your eyes on us)
  One of these days and you wont be long (Yeah, yeah, yeah, Deck)
 
  [Inspectah Deck]
  I'm from the home where the buffalo roam
  And niggas don't give a flyin' fuck
  Talk with signs up, walk with the iron tucked
  Leave your "Eyes Wide Shut"
  Money bag's on the table, gots to get my cut
  Rebel I "City Slicker", pick up a pretty sister
  Dig her out on the table, bent off the Remy licker
  Head splitter, deliver so cold I send shivers
  From many figures, battle the world or any nigga
  I'm "Uptown Saturday Night" like Bill Cos'
  Got weed in the jars with vanilla cigars
  On the strip, eyeballin' the chicks, all in the mix
  Gassed off of my shit, vibratin' the whip
 
  [Chorus: sampled singer (Raekwon)]
  One of these days and you wont be long (That's what you call it pa)
  One of these days and you wont be long (Chef!)
 
  [Raekwon]
  Yo I'm sicker than the V12 X5
  With cracks in the Rolly jumper all we do is Drink fuckin' Drive
  Real niggas raise up, Mommy get your feet off +The Table+
  The cable luck bare, my man got me one on his leckle
  It's nothin' for me to get up with you, guts with you
  Blow off them matches and sit up with you
  Aiyo the streets, what is gettin' more crazy?
  Stressin' me nothin', investin' the leathers, we all into things blazin'
  Slingin' coke is just a normal habit, rappers we wear
  Straddlers with cannons and hatchets gettin' cheers
  Yatzis are fresh off the block, block squeezin', it's real
  If we get real, put pop, poppin' at your blocks equal
  Take these niggas and throw 'em in lakes, it's business
  Rake these niggas on the mic, display your ninjas
  Nines crowns verses your nine towns
  Run up with nine 9's, brown down, get to lyin' you down
 
  [Chorus: sampled singer {U-God} (Raekwon)]
  One of these days and you wont be long {Yo} (That's what you call it pa)
  One of these days and you wont be long {Yo, yo}
 
  [U-God]
  I come from the slums, I ain't no dummy
  My testiment talk, represent money
  This +Verbal Intercourse+, fueled by exhaust
  The bread winner, head spinner, coldest with the force
  No remorse, endorse the rap artist
  So flamboyant cos I pimp slap the hardest
  Ever since the +Triumph+ we've been missin' them soldiers
  We came tonight, boy the mission is cobra, full exploder
  Bulldose through the rubbish, I'm in too deep boy
  I just gotta love this, they call we Too Sweet
  One of the nine brothers, I'm so unique
  Every line that smother, the situation's grim
  It's bloody sin cos every time I want out they pull me back in
  I see my reflection in the chrome mack 10
  Ask the passer who's faster with the pen
  Then pull it, nine hollows, amorettos
  That's how I like it, sweat on my wine bottles
  The automobiles with them shiny assed hubs
  The endo pull, with the bathtub club, my angel's in the mud
  Veteran smile, +Dat's Gangsta+ shit, that American style
  Dig it, prick or prey
  I'm quick to slay with the rectifier shit, caught by the ricochet nigga
 
   "I got to know"
 
  [Chorus x4: sampled singer (Raekwon)]
  One of these days and you wont be long (That's what you call it pa)
  One of these days and you wont be long
 
   "I got to know

Tim McGraw - Memory Lane Lyrics


  People ask me what you doin' son
  You're gonna drive yourself insane
  You'll never find the sunshine
  When you're followin' the rain
  Seems like I'd take a new road
  After all these years
  But I wind up on the same old trail of tears
 
  I'm still walkin' down Memory Lane 'cuz I know I'll be runnin' into you
  Reminiscin' through the pain recallin' things that we used to do
  I'm lookin' up an old flame down on Heartbreak Avenue
  I'm still walkin' down Memory Lane 'cuz I know I'll be runnin'into you
 
  I hate the way I loved you
  But my mind keeps goin' back
  My train of thought just won't get off
  That same old worn out track
  It's an every night occasion me and your memory meet
  On that endless lonely street of broken dreams
 
  I'm still walkin' down Memory Lane 'cuz I know I'll be runnin' into you
  Reminiscin' through the pain recallin' things that we used to do
  I'm lookin' up an old flame down on Heartbreak Avenue
  I'm still walkin' down Memory Lane 'cuz I know I'll be runnin' into you
 
  I'm still walkin' down Memory Lane 'cuz I know I'll be runnin' into you
  Reminiscin' through the pain recallin' things that we used to do
  I'm lookin' up an old flame down on Heartbreak Avenue
  I'm still walkin' down Memory Lane 'cuz I know I'll be runnin' into you
 
  Here she comes now
  I'm still walkin' (walkin')
  Down Memory Lane
  I'm still walkin'
  Down Memory Lane
  I'm still walkin' (walkin')
  Down Memory Lane
  Lord, I'm walkin'
  Down Memory Lane
  Oh, I'm walkin' (walkin')
  Down Memory Lane
  I'm still walkin' (walkin' walkin')
  Down Memory Lane

Tim McGraw - All I Want Is A Life Lyrics


  I just want to get a little more out of my payday
  Finally own a car that doesn't break down on the free way
  A little vacation...ain't askin' very much
  I hate comin' home to this old broken down apartment
  I wish I had a dime for every hole that's in the carpet
  No I don't want it all...but I ain't got enough
 
  Chorus
  All I want is a life
  To drink from a glass from a well that ain't dry
  I'm sick of the crumbs...I want a piece of that pie...
  All I want is a life
 
  I don't mind the hours and the pain that comes from workin'
  But it's enough to kill me when I see my baby hurtin'
  Wanna give her that diamond...I never got to buy
  She keeps tellin' me that everything is gettin' better
  But one step up the rung and and someone knocks me off the ladder
  Just wanna break even someday before I die
 
  Chorus

Tim McGraw - Ain’t No Angels Lyrics


  I've lead a lifetime fightin' this land
  Workin' for nothin with these dry, callused hands
  I'm a slave to the sun, It ain't cuttin' me no slack
  Gets me beggin' whenever I look back
 
  Ain't no glory in this livin'
  Ain't no runnin' from your sins
  I hope there's angels where I'm goin'
  Ain't no angels where I've been
 
  Three generations countin' on me
  To work this farm keep it in the family
  Well, I've done all I can and it's past becomin' clear
  That I can't hold out much longer here
 
  Ain't no glory in this livin'
  Ain't no runnin' from your sins
  I hope there's angels where I'm goin'
  Ain't no angels where I've been
 
  Ain't no glory in this livin'
  Ain't no runnin' from your sins
  I hope there's angels where I'm goin'
  Ain't no angels where I've been
  Ain't no angels where I've been
