Fading into nothing.

Louisiana Night

Oak Ridge Boys -> I'll Be True To You


They met up on the blue moon
and they parted on a cloudy day
They were so in love
and out of school, but he was going so
far, far away

Chorus:
She said, "I'll be true to you, even though you don't want me to...
I'll be blue for you, even though you've asked me not to..."

Well the years drifted by them as we all know they can
He found other women but she refused other men,
But as fate would have it, they met again
She was on a down hill slide, he was just slidin' in....

As he looked into her eyes that night he never realized
the only real love in his life was passin' by
When he turned and left her there, his words, "good bye"
he heard her calling out to him and as he walked
she cried,

Chorus:
" I've been true to you,
seems like speakin' to me is the least that you could do...
and I've been blue for you...
even though you've asked me not to"

She'd been drinking way too hard one night,
She'd been drinking way too long,
Alone and pale in a cheap hotel
She died there in the dawn

Kneeling by her grave
Oh so late and oh so wrong
He longed to hold her close again
crying on and on

Chorus:
He cried, "I'll be true to you...
after all that I have put you through
and I'll be blue for you....
Though you never even asked me to..."

Vipt

What a sad song. :'(

I like it though! (Well, I like the lyrics I shoud say, since I've never heard the song.) :)

Yeah, I agree.
Nice song, but sad ( I'd say the music is is quite fitting, for the lyrics )  . :-\



Conlee John -> Old School

I can remember us cruising through town.
In your daddy's car with the top pulled down,
looking so cool

We came from different sides of the track.
But we still held hands out back,
of the old school

We spent all our time together,
laughing and having fun.  
We swore that we'd love forever.  
Cause that was the way things were done,
at the old school.

We both made it to our graduation.  
You chose a college I chose a vocation
driving eighteen wheels.
I became a part of your past.
You went and married some guy in your class,
he was a big D.


Your picture was in all the papers.  
You made such a lovley bride
They said you were going places,
but me I just went for a ride,
down by the old school.

I got married to a sweet young girl,
and kept driving for the line.
Your husband made his mark on the world,
then he left you behind.

In the big house, with the swimming pool.  
Now you drive your kids, down to the old school.

Now here we are at the reunion of the class.  
You ask my wife if we could have one dance,
for the old times.

We slow danced across the old gym floor.  
You whispered it could be just like before,
call me sometime.
You asked if I understand you.  
"Well, yes I afraid I do".  
You say "everybody does it".  
I don't care if they do.

I'm from the old school.
I'm from the old school.
Where hearts stay true.
I'm from the old school.
I thought you were too.



I couldn't find a site, with the exact lyrics. ;P

Tom Waits -> Big Joe & Phantom 309 Lyrics


Well you see I happened to be back on the east coast
A few years back tryin’ to make me a buck
Like everybody else, well you know
Times get hard and well I got down on my luck
And I got tired of just roamin’ and bummin’
Around, so I started thumbin’ my way
Back to my old hometown
You know I made quite a few miles
In the first couple of days, and i
Figured I’d be home in a week if my
Luck held out this way
But you know it was the third night
I got stranded, it was out at a cold lonely
Crossroads, and as the rain came
Pouring down, I was hungry, tired
Freezin’, caught myself a chill, but
It was just about that time that
The lights of an old semi topped the hill
You should of seen me smile when i
Heard them air brakes come on, and
I climbed up in that cab where i
Knew it’d be warm at the wheel
Well at the wheel sat a big man
I’d have to say he must of weighed 210
The way he stuck out a big hand and
Said with a grin ’big joe’s the name
And this here rig’s called phantom 309’
Well I asked him why he called his
Rig such a name, but he just turned to me
And said ’why son don’t you know this here
Rig’ll be puttin’ ’em all to shame, why
There ain’t a driver on this
Or any other line for that matter
That’s seen nothin’ but the taillights of big joe
And phantom 309’
So we rode and talked the better part of the night
And I told my stories and joe told his and
I smoked up all his viceroys as we rolled along
He pushed her ahead with 10 forward gears
Man that dashboard was lit like the old
Madam la rue pinball, a serious semi truck
Until almost mysteriously, well it was the
Lights of a truck stop that rolled into sight
Joe turned to me and said ’I’m sorry son
But I’m afraid this is just as far as you go
You see I kinda gotta be makin’ a turn
Just up the road a piece,’ but I’ll be
Damned if he didn’t throw me a dime as he
Threw her in low and said ’go on in there
Son, and get yourself a hot cup of coffee
On big joe’
And when joe and his rig pulled off into
The night, man in nothing flat they was
Clean outa sight
So I walked into the old stop and
Ordered me up a cup of mud sayin’
’big joe’s settin’ this dude up’ but
It got so deathly quiet in that
Place, you could of heard a pin drop
As the waiter’s face turned kinda
Pale, I said ’what’s the matter did
I say somethin’ wrong? ’ I kinda
Said with 8a half way grin. he said
’no son, you see it’ll happen every
Now and then. you see every driver in
Here knows big joe, but let me
Tell you what happened just 10 years
Ago, yea it was 10 years ago
Out there at that cold lonely crossroads
Where you flagged joe down, and
There was a whole bus load of kids
And they were just comin’ from school
And they were right in the middle when
Joe topped the hill, and could
Have been slaughtered except
Joe turned his wheels, and
He jacknifed, and went
Into a skid, and folks around here
Say he gave his life to save that bunch
Of kids, and out there at that cold
Lonely crossroads, well they say it
Was the end of the line for
Big joe and phantom 309, but it’s
Funny you know, cause every now and then
Yea every now and then, when the
Moon’s holdin’ water, they say old joe
Will stop and give you a ride, and
Just like you, some hitchhiker will be
Comin’ by’
’so here son,’ he said to me, ’get
Yourself another cup of coffee, it’s on the
House, you see I want you to hang on
To that dime, yea you hang on to that
Dime as a kind of souvenir, a
Souvenir of big joe and phantom 309’

The Playmates -> Beep Beep

[Very slowly]
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep
While riding in my Cadillac
What to my surprise
A little Nash Rambler was following me
About one third my size
The guy musta wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

[Slowly]
I pushed my foot down to the floor
To give the guy the shake
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind
He still had on his brake
He musta thought his car had more guts
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

[Normal speed]
My car went into passing gear
And we took off with gust (whoosh)
Soon we were going ninety
Musta left him in the dust
When I peeked in the mirror of my car
I couldn't believe my eyes
The little Nash Rambler was right behind
You'd think that guy could fly
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

[Quickly]
Now we were doing a hundred and ten
This certainly was a race
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy
Would be a big disgrace
The guy musta wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn
Beep beep beep beep
His horn went beep beep beep

[Very quickly]
Now we're going a hundred twenty
As fast as I can go
The Rambler pulled along side of me
As if we were going slow
The fella rolled down his window
And yelled for me to hear
"Hey buddy how do I get this car outa second gear?"

Ray Stevens -> It's me again Margaret

Well, there once was a feller named Willard McVane
And he only had just one thought on his brain
Every evening about midnight he'd sneak off alone
And call the same lady on a pay telephone

'It's me again, Margaret...
(Evil laughter)
Hello, is this Margaret?
You don't know me, Margaret, but I know you.'

Well, this upset the lady and it gave her the blues
So she called up the police, said 'What shall I do?'
The chief of detectives came round to her home
And eavesdropped upon them on her upstairs phone

'It's me again, Margaret...
(Evil laughter)
Hello, is this Margaret?
Margaret, I know it's you, Margaret
Are you naked?
(More evil laughter)'

Well, they called up Ma Bell and they traced him on down
To a funky old phone booth on the outskirts of town
It was there that the vice squad with their field glasses read
The lips of that amorous man as he said

'It's me again, Margaret...
(Evil laughter)
Hello? Is this...is this Margaret?
(Evil laughter)
I know it's you, Margaret
I bet you can't guess what I'm doing...'

Well, they cuffed him and dragged him to the station downtown
And they allowed him one phone call 'fore the jailer came round
He wet his chapped lips and he cleared his young throat
Then he dialed the telephone and softly he spoke

'It's me again, Margaret...
(Evil laughter)
They got me, Margaret
You ain't going to miss me, Margaret, I know that
But I'll miss you
(More evil laughter)
And when I get out, Margaret
I'm going to come over there with an egg beater
And a live chicken, and some peach preserves!
We'll have a good old time, Margaret

Ray Stevens -> Sittin' Up With The Dead

Well, out in the country, we didn't have mortuaries, and so it was always customary for the undertaker to do his job and lay your kin out right there at home. Yeah, the church would loan you foldin' chairs and you'd have visitation and everything right there. But when the night time come you'd have to sit up with the dead 'cause it wasn't right to leave 'em alone.

Well, the last time I sat up was '65 when my old arthritic Uncle Fred died. He was 97, so stooped over the mortician couldn't straighten him out. They used a loggin' chain to hold him down. Covered that all up with a cape and a gown and didn't tell nobody in the family 'cause that's the kinda stuff folks just don't wanta know about.

Well, we were all sittin' there, it was three in the mornin'
And then there come up a cloud of thunder, lightnin' and stormin'
Well, that lightnin' flashed and that thunder clapped,
And that chain' round old Uncle Fred went snap
It rattled and fell to the floor with a thump, and Uncle Fred just sat right up.....(Yow!) :suffer:

And I ain't sittin' up with the dead no more
I don't know 'bout you
No, I ain't sittin' up with the dead no more
No matter what you say or do
They say the dead can't hurt ya
'Cause they already left
But what they left can sure make you hurt yourself
And I ain't sittin' up with the dead no more
Since the dead started sittin' up too

Spoken: have mercy

Well, when Uncle Fred sat up, so did everyone there. And there came a great partin' of the foldin' chairs and that preacher nearly knocked me down. He said, "Oh, I'm headin' out that kitchen door". I hollered, "Rev, that kitchen ain't got no door in it". He said, "Don't worry, son, it will have in a minute".

Sung: And I ain't never seen so much jumpin' and shovin' before

And then somebody stepped on the old cat's tail. He let out a scream, a screech, a wail and to say the least, that howl didn't help to calm the situation down. And then that lightnin' flashed and that house went black and I spoke to my feets, I said, "Boys, make tracks". And I went through that screen door Lickity split for town.

Well, I cut through the cemetery, fell in a hole
It was Uncle Fred's grave, and it was dark and cold
Yeah, the town drunk dug it and he dug it too deep
And unbeknownst to me, he's still in there asleep
And I'm scratchin' and jumpin', tryin' to get out of that hole,
And he woke up and said,
"You might as well come over here and sit down beside me boy,
'Cause you ain't getting' out of here tonight"
*long pause*
But I did!
XD

And I ain't sittin' up with the dead no more
I don't know 'bout you
No, I ain't sittin' up with the dead no more
No matter what you say or do
They say the dead can't hurt ya
'Cause they already left
But what they left can sure make you hurt yourself
And I ain't sittin' up with the dead no more
Since the dead started sittin' up too


Wadn't no sense in nobody sittin' up with Uncle Fred anyhow. Uncle Fred's done be gonna set up with his own self. Next time, I'm just gonna send flowers. Yeah.....

Mitch Miller -> Yellow Rose of Texas

There's a yellow rose in Texas, that I am going to see,
Nobody else could miss her, not half as much as me.
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart,
And if I ever find her, we nevermore will part.

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

When the Rio Grande is flowing, the starry skies are bright,
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night:
I know that she remembers, when we parted long ago,
I promise to return again, and not to leave her so.

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

Oh now I'm going to find her, for my heart is full of woe,
And we'll sing the songs together, that we sung so long ago
We'll play the bango gaily, and we'll sing the songs of yore,
And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore.

She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew,
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew;
You may talk about your Clementine, and sing of Rosalee,
But the yellow rose of Texas is the only girl for me.

"The Chowder of the Night"
(To the tune of "The Music of the Night" from The Phantom of the Opera)

Nighttime is the best time for this chowder
Take two cups of milk and one of flour
Stir it up quite nice, then add a bit of spice
Chop some onions, fry the bacon right
And then you'll have the chowder of the night

Open your mouth, for the airplane's going to fly right in
And you'll taste the can of creamy-style corn
Eat as much chowder as you want to eat
Then you'll see this chowder tastes so sweet

Aaron Tippin/Buddy Brock -> You've Got To Stand For Something

Now daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along,
Everyone that knew him
knew which side that he would be on.
He never was a hero,
or this county's shining light,
But you could always find him standing up
for what he thought was right.

He'd say you've got to stand for something
or you'll fall for anything.
You've got to be your own man,
not a puppet on a string.
Never compromise what's right,
and uphold your family name.
You've got to stand for something
or you'll fall for anything.

We might have been better off
or owned a bigger house,
if daddy had done more given in
or a little more backing down.
But we always had plenty just living his advice.
What ever you do today
you'll have to sleep with tonight.

He'd say you've got to stand for something
or you'll fall for anything.
You've got to be your own man not a
puppet on a string.
Never compromise what's right
and uphold your family name.
You've got to stand for something
or you'll fall for anything.

I know that things are different
than they were in daddy's day,
but I still believe what makes a man
really hasn't changed.

He'd say you've got to stand for something
or you'll fall for anything.
You've got to be your own man not a
puppet on a string.
Never compromise what's right
and uphold your family name.
You've got to stand for something
or you'll fall for anything.

Now daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along,
Everyone that knew him
knew which side that he would be on.
He never was a hero,
or this county's shining light,
But you could always find him standing up
for what he thought was right.
