Country Girl

Primal Scream

Never get to bed (be?)
Never get to hell baby
Never get to come until you start payin your dues
Yeah, What can a poor boy do
Better go back to yr mama
She'll take care of you

Lost your wife
Lost your son
Stay out drinking till the morning comes
Yeah
What can a poor boy do
Better go back to your mama
She'll take care of you

Country girl
Take my hand
Lead me thru this diseased land
I have I have i have (no idea)
I have stole
I have sinned
Oh my soul
Its unclean
Country girl
Gotta keep on keeping on

Crazy women
Mess your head up
Wake up drunk and beaten
In some strange bed
Yeah
What can a poor boy do
Better go back to your mama
Shell take care of you

Country girl
Take my hand
Lead me thru this diseased land
I have I have i have
I have stole
I have sinned
Oh my soul
Its unclean
Country girl

Gotta keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on keeping strong
Gotta keep on keeping on
With you
Got the riot city blues

What do you have to say
Before i have to go
Be careful what you say
Youll reap just what you sow
Yeah
What can a poor boy do
Better go back to yr mama
Shell take care of you

One last time

Country girl
Take my hand
Lead me thru this diseased land
I have i have i have
I have stole
I have sinned
Oh my soul
Its unclean
Country girl
Gotta keep on keeping on

Country girl
Take my hand
Lead me thru this diseased land
I have I have i have
I have stole
I have sinned
Oh my soul
Its unclean
Country girl
Gotta keep on keeping on

Country girl
Gotta keep on keeping on

    Honestly, I think this song is just as direct as everyone thinks it is. It's taking every country song cliche and packing them into one song. The more i listen to it the more i love it

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
