I don't wanna
Do we have to
I don't wanna
Do we have to

Don't wanna go down and drink in the woods
We could get some Mad Dog and hang out in my garage
I got a ping pong table

I don't wanna
Do we have to
I don't wanna
Do we have to

Don't wanna drink in the woods, it sucks
Sit with 20 dudes in a pickup truck and we're gone
I got my thermals on

Gatorade bottles filled with Smirnoff
Got too close to the fire burn my eyebrows off
I puked by the tree
I peed in the grass
And you get poison ivy all over your ass

You're in the woods

Don't wanna drink in the woods tonight
The Last time I did I got into a fight
with some guy, who graduated 3 years ago

Paid 5 bucks for a plastic cup
Foam is spillin' out and it won't fill up
I pumped that tap, with my best friend
And he flipped me over for a keg stand (keg stand)

I'm drinkin' in the woods

I'm drunk
Tree trunk
I'm drunk
Tree trunk

    Jimmy Fallon must have grown up in a place called Fordyce, AR. His passionate song about every high schooler's Friday-night, gravel pit-fiasco hits home! Sad, but true, and if you yourself have never been with your friends riding the "main line" or some "backroads", well, my friend, you are missing out on the good life...kudos, Mr. Fallon and to all of you Redbugs out there, this one's to you!

    I've always enjoyed Jimmy Fallon's comedy, I'm probably one of the few teenage girls who has liked him since he first got on SNL and not from when he first hosted the MTV Movie Awards. I've always loved SNL, and Jimmy grew up in New York not Arizona by the way. LOL.

    The whole cd is great, I love it. It makes me laugh more than Sandler's cds..maybe it's because he's not as foul as Sandler is.

    My favorite ones on here are Troll Doll Jingles and Hammertime. I do also enjoy this song, I want to listen to it the first time I try getting drunk..while in the woods.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
