What I Can't Forget -- Jason Blaine

I know this love is over
And there's no turning back
I know I've made some bad mistakes
And I'll have to live with that
And I guess what hurts the most is
When you say you can't recall
Even one good memory
From when we had it all

It's like they never happened
Those good times that we shared
But you and God and I know you were there
It breaks my heart to see you leave
With nothing but regret
Oh why can't you remember what I can't forget

Yesterday meant something
At least it did to me
But I guess our past is just a ghost
That only I can see
I wish that you could face the truth
About the love we had
Look back on the years and say
It wasn't all that bad

It's like they never happened
Those good times that we shared
But you and God and I know you were there
It breaks my heart to see you leave
With nothing but regret
Oh why can't you remember
Oh why can't you remember
Oh why can't you remember
What I can't forget

Head Over High Heels -- Carolyn Dawn Johnson

I've fallen, yeah I've fallen before
I thought I knew exactly what was in store
When I met him, got more than I bargained for
I'm not overstating, overexaggerating
Horsing around or playing
When I'm saying I've...

Gone off the deepest end
Not jumping, diving in
He's a perfect 10 times 10 times 10
And I'm head over heels
No, I'm head over high heels

I'm dreaming in colors I've never seen
My heart is bursting wide at the seams
I've taken my smiling to the extremes
All my friends are wondering
They think I'm up to something
I say "Oh it's nothing"
I'm just in love and I've...

Gone off the deepest end
Not jumping, diving in
He's a perfect 10 times 10 times 10
And I'm head over heels
No, I'm head over high heels

I'm not happy, I'm ecstatic
I'm not a lunatic, just a fanatic
You might think I'm overdramatic
Not me

Gone off the deepest end
Not jumping, diving in
He's a perfect 10 times 10 times 10
And I'm head over heels
No, I'm head over high heels

Head over high heels
Head over high heels
That's right
I am so far gone

Mud On The Tires -- Brad Paisley

I've got some big news
The bank finally came through
And I'm holdin' the keys to a brand new Chevrolet
Have you been outside it sure is a nice night
How about a little test drive
Down by the lake

There's a place I know about where the dirt road runs out
And we can try out the four-wheel drive
Come on now what do you say
Girl, I can hardly wait to get a little mud on the tires

'Cause it's a good night
To be out there soakin' up the moonlight
Stake out a little piece of shoreline
I've got the perfect place in mind
It's in the middle of nowhere only way to get there
You got to get a little mud on the tires

Moonlight on a duck blind
Catfish on a trot line
Sun sets about nine this time of year
We can throw a blanket down
Crickets singin' in the background
And more stars than you can count on a night this clear

I tell you what we need to do is grab a sleepin' bag or two
And build us a little campfire
And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires

'Cause it's a good night
To be out there soakin' up the moonlight
Stake out a little piece of shoreline
I've got the perfect place in mind
It's in the middle of nowhere only way to get there
You got to get a little mud on the tires

And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires

Fishin' In The Dark -- Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Lazy yellow moon coming up tonight
Shinin' through the trees
Crickets are singin' and the lightning bugs
Are floatin' on the breeze
Baby get ready

Across the field where the creek turns back
By the old stump road
I'm gonna take you to a special place
That nobody knows
Baby get ready

Ooo ooo ooo

You and me going fishin' in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We’ll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just moving slow

Stayin' the whole night through
Feels so good to be with you

Spring is almost over and the summers comin'
And the days are gettin' long
Waited all winter for the time to be right
Just to take you along
Baby get ready

And it don’t matter if we sit forever
And the fish don’t bite
Jump in the river and cool ourselves
from the heat of the night
Baby get ready

Ooo ooo ooo

You and me going fishin' in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We’ll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just moving slow
Stayin' the whole night through
Feels so good to be with you
And me going fishin' in the dark
Lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows

Down by the river in the full moon light
We’ll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just moving slow

You and me going fishin' in the dark

Yellow Snow! Yellow Snow! Yellow Snow! -- Bob Rivers

(Parody of Let It Snow)

Oh, the weather outside was whitening
‘Til the dog did something frightening
He’s got no other place to go
Yellow snow, yellow snow, yellow snow

And he doesn’t show signs of stopping
As he sniffs around his dropping
You see him everywhere you go
In the snow, yellow snow, yellow snow

When he finally goes outside
He’ll be frolicking ‘round in the storm
He’ll be marking our yard with pride
You can tell by the steam that it’s warm

When the snow begins it’s thawing
It reveals those puppy drawings
He’s a frisky little pooch van Gogh
Yellow snow, yellow snow, yellow snow

Come here, Yeller. Come on boy. Good doggie.
Oh, not on Frosty.

He’ll be marking our yard with pride
You can tell by the steam that it’s warm

Well, he’s happy and his tail starts waggin’
But the snowman’s left side is saggin’
There’s a little puddle right below
Yellow snow, yellow snow, yellow snow
Yellow snow, yellow snow

Yellow snow
Little patches of yellow snow
Yellow snow
Little patches of where Fido goes

The Long Way Around -- Dixie Chicks

My friends from high school
Married their high school boyfriends
Moved into houses in the same ZIP codes
Where their parents live

But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

I hit the highway in a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
Lived like a gypsy
Six strong hands on the steering wheel

I've been a long time gone now
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
But I've always found my way somehow

By taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around

I met the queen of whatever
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies
Moved with the shakers
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to

No I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

It's been two long years now
Since the top of the world came crashing down
And I'm getting' it back on the road now

But I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
I'm taking the long way
Taking the long way around
The long
The long way around

Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself

But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow

Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found

Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
