Nice lady!
Don't Look Back

Boston

Don't look back
A new day is breaking
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind where I get taken
The road is calling
Today is the day

I can see
It took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong
Not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around, yes I will
I finally see the dawn arriving
I see beyond the road I'm driving

It's a new horizon and I'm awaking now
Oh, I see myself in a brand new way
The sun is shining the clouds are breaking
'Canse I can't lose now
There's no game to play
I can tell
There's no more time left to critize
I've seen what I could not recognize
Everthing in my life
Was leading me on
But I can be strong, yes I can

I finally see the dawn arriving
I see beyond the road I'm driving
Far away and left behind

one from tim mcgraw...

Creek goes rippling by
I’ve been barefoot and all day with my baby
Brown leaves have started falling
Leading the way

I like it best just like this
Doing nothing all the way
So let’s lay down in the tall grass
Dreaming away

And all I wanna do is let it be and be with you
And watch the wind blow by
And all I wanna see is you and me go on forever
Like the clear blue sky
Slowly, there’s only
You and I
And all I want to do is watch the wind blow by

Girl, you know you told me not so long ago
To let it come, then let it pass
And all your troubles and your sorrows
They won’t last

So let me kiss you now, little darling
Beneath this autumn moon
Cold wind, another season
Will be here soon

And all I wanna do is let it be and be with you
And watch the wind blow by
And all I wanna see is you and me go on forever
Like the clear blue sky
Slowly, there’s only
You and I
And all I want to do is watch the wind blow by

open loop stable
You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago,
Who told me,
Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling to tightly,
you're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in

It's so damn easy, when your feelings are such
To overprotect her, to love her too much
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago
Who told me,
Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna loose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in

Don't let her slip away
Sentimental fool
Don't let your heart get in her way
yeah, yeah, yeah,

You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago,
Who told me,
Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling to tightly,
you're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in

So Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna lose it
You're gonna -- lose control
yeah, yeah, yeah Just Hold On Loosely but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna loose control

Hold on Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna loose control
yeah, yeah, yeah

I didn't even turn it on. When I saw they were in 4th behind Toronto now, I couldn't bear to watch them slide any more. :frown:

Jazz..I'm a Yankees fan, but when I first moved here in the late '80's I tried to get into the O's! They just are a let down! So are the Yankees lately!

Yankees fan! :yikes: :barf:

:lmao: No fan of the Yanks. O's all the way. I like the Nationals, too. I still have a soft spot for Boston as they (and Yaz) were my first love. :blushing:

Really I'm not into baseball much at all. To me the season starts when the playoffs begin..that's when it's fun to watch B-ball...I am a big time football fan though!

I sort of got sucked back into baseball at my last job. One cubemate was a big Boston fan and the other an O's fan. I loved to watch them go after each other and the baseball talk NEVER ended. :lol:

Love football, too, and a big fan of the Redskins, especially during their glory days of the Posse (Monk, Clark, and Sanders) and the Hogs. :yay:


Trying to keep on track: :dance:

Saturday summers, when I was a kid
We’d run to the schoolyard and here’s what we did
We’d pick out the captains and we’d choose up the teams
It was always a measure of my self esteem
Cuz the fastest, the strongest, played shortstop and first
The last ones they picked were the worst
I never needed to ask, it was sealed,
I just took up my place in right field.
Playing...

Right field, it’s easy, you know.
You can be awkward and you can be slow
That’s why I’m here in right field
Just watching the dandelions grow

Playing right field can be lonely and dull
Little leagues never have lefties that pull
I’d dream of the day they’d hit one my way
They never did, but still I would pray
That I’d make a fantastic catch on the run
And not lose the ball in the sun
And then I’d awake from this long reverie
And pray that the ball never came out to me
Here in...

Right field, it’s easy, you know.
You can be awkward and you can be slow
That’s why I’m here in right field
Just watching the dandelions grow

Off in the distance, the game’s dragging on,
There’s strikes on the batter, some runners are on.
I don’t know the inning, I’ve forgotten the score.
The whole team is yelling and I don’t know what for.
Then suddenly everyone’s looking at me
My mind has been wandering; what could it be?
They point at the sky and I look up above
And a baseball falls into my glove!

Here in right field, it’s important you know.
You gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throw,
That’s why I’m here in right field, just watching the dandelions grow

Nice lady!
You Might Think

The Cars

Oh, well, you might think I'm crazy
To hang around with you
Maybe you think I'm lucky
To have something to do
But I think that you're wild
And inside me is some child
You might think I'm foolish
Maybe it's untrue
(You might think)
You might think I'm crazy
(All I want)
All I want is you you

You might think it's hysterical
But I know when you're weak
You think you're in the movies
And everything's so deep
But I think that you're wild
When you flash that fragile smile
You might think it's foolish
What you put me through
(You might think)
You might think I'm crazy
(All I want)
All I want is you you

And it's hard
So hard to take
There's no escape
Without a scrape
But you kept it going
'Til the sun fell down
You kept it going

Oh, well, you might think I'm delirious
The way I run you down
But somewhere sometime
When you're curious
I'll be back around
And I think that you're wild
And so uniquely styled
You might think it's foolish
This chancey rendezvous
(You might think)
You might think I'm crazy
(All I want)
All I want is you
(All I want is you)
All I want is you

Nice lady!
Never

Heart

Hey baby, I'm talking to you
Stop yourself and listen
Some things you can never choose
Even if you try, yeah
You're hangin your head again
'Cause somebody won't let you in
One chance, one love
Your chance to let me know

We can't go on
Just running away
If we stay any longer
We will surely never get away
Anything you want...we can make it happen
Stand up and turn around
Never let them shoot us down
Never, Never
Never, Never run away

Hey baby you know it's time
Why you bother lying when you know
That you want it too
Don't you dare deny me
Walk those legs right over here
Give me what I'm dying for
One chance...one love
Hold me down never let me go

We can't go on
Just running away
If we wait any longer
We will surely never get away
Anything you want...we can make it happen
Stand up and turn around
Never let them shoot us down
Never, never
Never, never run away
Never, never
Never, never run away

Hey baby I'm talking to you
Stop yourself and listen
Some things you can never choose
Even if you try, yeah
You're bangin your head again
Cause somebody won't let you in
One chance, one love
Your chance to let me know

We can't go on
Just running away
If we stay any longer
We will surely never get away

Ooh, ooh never
Ooh, ooh never

We can't go on, never
We can't go on, never

Ooh, ooh never
Ooh, ooh never

We can't go on, never
We can't go on, never

seem to be in a country mood tonight...rascal flatts...

There’s no gravity up here
It’s kind of hard to explain
Every time I’m holding you
It’s like backwards rain - yeah

You lift me up like a kite on a string
Like a bird on newfound wings
So high on you, I’m floating and flying around
Your love is like fallin’ upside down

You’ve got me so lightheaded
It’s a dizzy mood
Spinning uncontrollably
And gaining altitude

You lift me up like a kite on a string
Like a bird on newfound wings
So high on you, I’m floating and flying around
Your love is like fallin’ upside down

Look at me
Used to be, I could keep my feet on the ground
When you said you could take me higher
You weren’t playing around
(you weren’t playing around)

You lift me up like a kite on a string
Like a bird on newfound wings
So high on you, I’m floating and flying around
Your love is like fallin’ upside down

As the moon slips up, and the sun sets down,
I'm a highrise jockey, and I'm heaven-bound.
Do the workboot shuffle, loose brains from brawn.
I'm a monkey puzzle and the lid is on.

Can you guess my name? Can you guess my trade?
I'm going to catch you anyway.
You might be right. I'll give you guesses three.
Feel me climbing up your knee.

Guess what I am. I'm a steel monkey.

Now some men hustle and some just think.
And some go running before you blink.
Some look up and some look down
from three hundred feet above the ground.

Can you guess my name? And can you guess my trade?
Well, I won't rest before the world is made.
Arm in arm the angels fly.
Keep me from falling out the sky.

Steel monkey.

I work in the thunder and I work in the rain.
I work at my drinking, and I feel no pain.
I work on women, if they want me to.
You can have me climb all over you.

Now, have you guessed my name?
And have you guessed my trade?
I'm cheap at the money I get paid.
In the sulphur city, where men are men,
we bolt those beams then climb again.

Steel monkey.

In the shuffling madess
of the locomotive breath,
runs the all-time loser,
headlong to his death.
He feels the piston scraping --
steam breaking on his brow --
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going --
no way to slow down.
He sees his children jumping off
at the stations -- one by one.
His woman and his best friend --
in bed and having fun.
He's crawling down the corridor
on his hands and knees --
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going --
no way to slow down.
He hears the silence howling --
catches angels as they fall.
And the all-time winner
has got him by the balls.
He picks up Gideons Bible --
open at page one --
GOD stole the handle and
the train won't stop going --
no way to slow down.

But I beat you at your own game
