Roslyn (and St. Vincent) by Bon Iver

Up with your turret
Aren’t we just terrified’
Shale, screen your worry from what you won’t ever find
Don’t let it fool you
Don’t let it fool you…down
Down’s sitting round, folds in the gown
Sea and the rock below
Cocked to the undertow
Bones blood and teeth erode, with every crashing node
Wings wouldn’t help you
Wings wouldn’t help you…down
Down fills the ground, gravity’s proud
You barely are blinking
Wagging your face around
When’d this just become a mortal home’
Won’t, won’t, won’t, won’t
Won’t let you talk me
Won’t let you talk me down
Will pull it taut, nothing let out

See You When I See You by Jason Aldean

Lets don’t say goodbye
I hate the way it sounds
So if you don’t mind
Lets just say for now
See you when I see you
Another place another time
If I ever get down your way
Or your ever up around mine
We’ll laugh about the old day’s
A catch up on the new
Yeahh see you when I see you
And I hope it’s some day soon
God made this whole world round
And maybe it’s that way
So the past we go down
Yeahh I will cross again some day
And someday I’ll
See you when I see you
Another place another time
If I ever get down your way
Or you ever up around mine
We’ll laugh about the old day’s
A catch up on the new
Yeahh see you when I see you
And I hope it’s some day real soon
I hope it’s some day soon
See you when I see you
Another place another time
If I ever get down your way
Or you ever up around mine just stop by
We’ll laugh about the old day’s
And catch up the new
Yeahh see you when I see you till then my prays are with you
And I hope it’s some day soon
I’ll see you when I see you

Lump Sum by Bon Iver

Sold my cold knot, a heavy stone
Sold my red horse for a venture home
To vanish on the bow
Settling slow
Fit it all, fit it in the doldrums
Or so the story goes
Color the era
Film it as historical, ah
My mile could not pump the plumb
In my arbor ’till my ardor trumped
Every inner inertia
Lump sum
All at once rushing from the sump-pump
Or so the story goes
Balance we won’t know
We will see when it gets warm, ah

The Only Place That I Call Home by Justin Moore

Well I was baptized at the Baptist church
And my old man taught me ’bout a hard day’s work
I learned how to love, learned how to fight
It’s where we keep our cash in a dresser drawer
Underneath the forty-four
And if we do you wrong we damn sure make it right
[Chorus:]
It’s the only place that I call home
No matter where in this country I might roam
It’s where the corn grows tall and the moonshine still flows
It’s the only place that I call home
Your word is good on a handshake
Preacher still talks about a judgment day
People gonna stop when a funeral passes by
We say “yes sir” and say “yes ma’am”
Answer the call from Uncle Sam
Hit a bully in the nose if he crosses the line
[Chorus:]
It’s the only place that I call home
No matter where in this country I might roam
It’s where the corn grows tall and the moonshine still flows
It’s the only place that I call home
My roots are buried deep here in this little town
And one of these days it’s where they’ll put me in the ground
[Chorus:]
It’s the only place that I call home
No matter where in this country I might roam
It’s where the corn grows tall and the moonshine still flows
It’s the only place that I call home
It’s the only place that I call home yeah

Just Passing Through by Jason Aldean

[Verse 1:]
I can hear that rooster crowing down the road,
I felt my eyes open up real slow and I looked around
making sure I hadn’t checked out.
Because there was an angel lying next to me
and I figured heavens where I must be oh but it was
you and baby what else could I do.
In that bed I said a little prayer for one more day I’m still here.
[Chorus:]
It’s your world and I’m just in it, ain’t no other way to spin it.
Lucky me, just being there when I get to hold you.
I’m just here to love you girl,
it’s your world, and I’m just passing through.
[Verse 2:]
I dig in my heals and try to slow this down,
I want my life to revolve around everything you do,
aw but that’s all up to you.
Everything good seems to go so fast it’s like one big party crash,
you weren’t counting on one day you’re here and gone,
baby all I wanna do is lay here and hope it don’t disappear.
[Chorus:]
It’s your world and I’m just in it, ain’t no other way to spin it.
Lucky me, just being there when I get to hold you.
I’m just here to love you girl,
it’s your world, and I’m just passing through.
[X2]

Hate On Me by Jill Scott

If I could give you the world, on a silver platter
Would it even matter, you’d still be mad at me,
If I could find in all this a dozen roses which I would to give you,you’d still be miserable.
In reality, I’m gone be who I be
And I don’t feel no faults, for all the lies that you bought.
You can try as you may, break me down but I say
Tthat it ain’t up to you. Gone and do what you do.
Chorus
Hate on me Hater, now or later, cause I’m gonna do me, you’ll be mad baby.
(Go head and hate) go head and hate on me hater I’m not afraid of
What I’ve got I paid for, you can hate on me.
Ohh If I gave you peaches outta my own garden
And I made you a peach cobbler, would you slap me out’
What if I gave you diamonds outta my own wound,
Would you feel the love in that or ask why not the moon’
If I gave you sanity for the whole of humanity.
Have all the solutions for the pain and pollution.
No matter where I live, despite the things I give.
You’ll always be this way, so go head and hate
Chorus
2X’s
Vamp
You can not hate on me cause my mind is free.
Feel my destiny, so shall it be
You cannot hate!

Laughed Until We Cried by Jason Aldean

Going through my closet the other day
Found an old yearbook flipped right to the page
Of that senior trip down there on that panama strip
We all started yellin’ when we smelled the beach
Just couldn’t wait to try our fake ids
We only had a few days, and a whole lot of memories to make
[Chorus]
Oh man, we were livin’ didn’t waste one minute
We talked and drank and danced and said goodbye
We laughed until we cried
This past year my family
Was sittin’ cross-legged ’round the Christmas tree
Listenin’ to Grandad we all knew it’d probably be his last
He was crackin’ jokes and we were takin’ turns
Tellin’ stories ’bout fishin’ or lessons learned
Out on the back porch with him, we all felt like kids again
[2nd Chorus]
Oh man, we were livin’, sittin’ there reminiscin’
Yeah, we sang and talked and traveled back in time
We laughed til we cried
[Bridge]
It’s like the best days under the sun
Are every emotion rolled into one
A little of this, a little of that
Kinda happy, kinda sad
Just the other night the baby was cryin’
So i got out of bed and rocked her a while and i held her tight
Told her it would be all right
My mind went back to a few years ago
We tried so long we almost gave up hope
And i remember you, comin’ in and tellin’ me the news
Oh man we were livin, goin’ crazy in the kitchen
We danced and screamed and held each other tight
Oh man we were livin’, i’ll never forget it
We danced and kissed and thanked the lord that night
We laughed until we cried

No by Jason Aldean

Looking back
At the dead ends and the detours
All I can do is long for a straighter line
Yeah, I was lost
I had no way of knowin’
Where the twists and turns were goin’
But sometimes, you just gotta let the road wind
Could it have been easier’
Yeah
A little smoother ride
Maybe so.
But lying here with you
Would I change one thing bout that road’
No
I believe
Things happen for a reason
Even though you might not see it
At the time
Cause now I know
Every plan that came unraveled
Every crooked path I traveled in my life
Led me here to your side
Could it have been easier’
Yeah
A little smoother ride
Maybe so
But lying here with you
Would I change one thing ’bout that road’
No
Yeah, I finally found you…
Could it have been easier’ Yeah
A little smoother, ride
Maybe so
But lying here with you
Would I change one thing bout that road’
It could have been easier
Yeah
A little smoother ride
Maybe so
But lying here with you
Would I change one thing bout that road’
No

Small Town USA by Justin Moore

A lot of people called it prison when I was growin up
But these are my roots and this is what I love
‘Cause everybody knows me and i know them
And I believe that’s the way we were supposed to live
I wouldn’t trade one single day here in small town USA
Chorus
Give me a Saturday night my baby by my side
A little Hank Jr. and a six pack of light
An old dirt road and ill be just fine
Give me a Sunday morning that’s full of grace
A simple life and I’ll be okay
Here in small town USA
Around here we break our backs just to earn a buck
We never get ahead but we have enough
I watched people leave and they come right back
I never wanted any part of that
And I’m proud to say that I love this place
Good ole small town USA
Chorus
Give me a Saturday night my baby by my side
David Allen Coe and a six pack of light
An old dirt road and ill be just fine
Give me a Sunday morning that’s full of grace
A simple life and I’ll be okay
Here in small town USA
Oh yeah
I wouldn’t trade one single day
I’m proud to say i love this place
Chorus
Give me a Saturday night my baby by my side
Sweet home Alabama a six pack of light
Old dirt road and ill be just fine
Give me a Sunday morning that’s full of grace
A simple life and I’ll be okay
Yeah, I’ll be okay
Here in small town USA
Oh yeah
Small town USA
