cosmosis Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Oh man, do I have the perfect song for ya. A cute litle tune called 'Box Elder' by Pavement. Wasn't the question you asked me It wasn't the answer I gave That made me feel like I was on a train Was a distant voice Made me make a choice That I had to get the f___ out of this town I got a lot of things to do A lot of places to go I've got a lot of good things coming my way And I'm afraid to say that you're not one of them. Last time I was there You were out on the couch Pressed into a little electric 2 It was the way that you smiled Made me know at once That I had to get the f___ out of this town 'Cause I've decide to make a stand And I'm not gonna take your hand I'm taking the next bus outta here, I'm gonna head for Box Elder, M.O. :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvish Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 How about Rascal Flatt's "I'm Movin' On" - I love this song. I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons Finally content with a past I regret I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness For once I'm at peace with myself I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long I'm movin' on I've lived in this place and I know all the faces Each one is different but they're always the same They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it They'll never allow me to change But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong I'm movin' on I'm movin' on At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone There comes a time in everyone's life When all you can see are the years passing by And I have made up my mind that those days are gone I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't Stopped to fill up on my way out of town I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't I had to lose everything to find out Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road I'm movin' on I'm movin' on I'm movin' on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 "Compulsion" as performed by Martin L. Gore Charms in limited supply And refusing to stretch That indefinable nothing Somehow keeps pushing you Finding the right words Can be a problem How many times must it be said There?s no plan It had to happen Got to move on sometime And it?s about time By putting one foot in front of another And repeating the process Cross over the street You?re free to change your mind Strength through diversity Couldn?t have put it more plainly Got to move on sometime Got to move on sometime Got to move on sometime Got to move on sometime Charms in limited supply Under threat of extinction That indefinable nothing Somehow motivates you Finding the right words Can be a problem How many times must it be said There?s no plan It had to happen Got to move on sometime And it?s about time By putting one foot in front of another And repeating the process Cross over the street You?re free to change your mind Strength through diversity Couldn?t have put it more plainly Got to move on sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Rush - Vapor Trail Stratospheric traces of our transitory flight Trails of condensation held in narrow paths of white The sun is turning black The world is turning gray All the stars fade from the night The oceans drain away Horizon to Horizon memory written on the wind Fading away, like an hourglass, grain by grain Swept away like voices in a hurricane In a vapor trail Atmospheric phases make the transitory last Vaporize the memories that freeze the fading past Silence all the songbirds Stilled by the killing frost Forests burn to ashes Everything is lost Washed away like footprints in the rain In a vapor trail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImThatGuyToo Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Wow, I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd. If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me I must be traveling on now, there's too many places I got to see Cuz I'm as free as a bird now ...

MindCrime Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' All the Wrong Reasons, is about a girl he knew that moved on. Meatloaf's Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Actually Are is similar, these aren't about the 1st person leading to a new life, but in 3rd person about another's new lifestyle.

Brian Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Bruce Hornsby "Gonna be some changes Made" Gonna be some changes made Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days Look in the mirror I see clouds of rain Gotta face it all, gotta get myself straight Gonna be some changes, some changes made Can't keep on doing what I've been doing these days Better figure out something Things are looking grave Gonna be some changes, changes, changes made Up in front for all to see Graceful like a bumblin' fool Then I thought I felt slip from my mouth a little drool Maybe no one noticed it On my mind heavily it weighed I saw two people snickering I said "there needs to be some changes made" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyRider Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 On The Road Sung by (the great) Lee Roy Parnell Written by Bob McDill CD: On the Road There's a sad young wife never had a life Her mother says she married young And her husband's a fool never listened to All the things she's never done So she packs up that old Ford Fairlane She's had about all she can bear A suitcase, a hope, and a hard rain, She's gonna find it all somewhere Chorus: On the road Where the night is black On the road Where you don't look back There's a white line in the distance Where it's going nobody knows If it's anywhere you'll find it On the road There's a teenage kid no matter what he did Nobody ever understands And he don't measure up and he's had enough Can't be his daddy's little man So he pulls out that hot rod Chevy Puts in his favorite cassette Well he ain't goin' to no college The world is waitin' up ahead Chorus Eddie and Jill got time to kill The kids they never come around And a gold-plated watch was all he got When the company shut his life down So he takes out that old Airstream They don't know where they're bound Sixty-five years and still searchin' For something that they never found Chorus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
