Lucky Ones - Originally
written for the movie of the same title, Lucky Ones debuted on December 1, 2008 at RED(wire), a digital music magazine.
Written by Emily Robison, Marty Strayer, Dan Wilson
I knew you well before I ever heard your name Cause I've been there through hell and home again It might
be broken but at least we've seen the truth All I know is I've got you to hang onto
Hey, baby we're the lucky ones Oh,
hey, baby, we're the lucky ones When the last long night is done If we find our way back home Oh, we're the lucky
ones
We lose our friends in the sea and vanish every day And dreams can fade when you don't come back the same When
I got here it felt strange somehow People I once knew seem different to me now
Hey, baby we're the lucky ones Oh,
hey, baby, we're the lucky ones When the last long night is done If we find our way back home Oh, we're the lucky
ones
Don't know what to feel like these days Is it gonna end, is it ever gonna change We'll get back one day Sweats
at night Cars on fire As long as we're alive
Hey, baby we're the lucky ones Oh, hey, baby, we're the lucky
ones When the last long night is done If we find our way back home Oh, we're the lucky ones
The Neighbor - The Chicks started
performing this song in concert during the Accidents & Accusations tour in Australia. It was written for Shut Up &
Sing by Emily, Natalie, Martie, Pete Yorn and Gary Louris. These lyrics are from the extended studio version and not
the version that was available at iTunes.
Don’t let them tell you what it’s all about I’m right
beside you, a dreamer you can do without I know you well, but we’ve never met Always the same, always the safe
bet.
I know what’s happening, I’ve seen it before Uninvited, I’ll be coming to your back door Lock
all your windows, hide under your bed I hear you breathing, I know you’re there
You can turn off the light You
can turn off your mind You can shut me out
But I’ll still be here I'll still be here You can turn me
off and try to shut me down But I’ll still be here
You want to see things all the same Why don’t
you see things in color for a change I’m waiting and listening, trying to walk in your shoes They walk a straight
line, such a straight line
I’ll drop my fences, if you drop your guard Meet me on the front porch stop hiding
in your backyard Unlock your windows, come out from the bed Your tv's glowing, I know you're there
You can turn
it around Til you like how it sounds You can turn me off
But I’ll still be here I’ll still be
here You can turn me down but I'll just shout it out, I’ll still be here
Who did away with empathy How
do you love without sympathy And who will be the one that still believes
It's the powerless who seem to fall Between
the cracks of those who have it all And who's gonna be the one to speak for me
I’ll still be here I’ll
still be here (repeats with Martie and Emily harmonies)
I'll still be here When you like it or not Oh
I’ll be here (repeats with Martie and Emily harmonies)
Even when you're not When you think I forgot
Come
out in your backyard Monday Let's meet on your front porch Friday
I’ll still be here (repeats to fade out)
Wherever You Are - This song
was a duet with Deryl Dodd and originally intended to be on the Fly album.
Natalie: Front door slammed and the back door too Deryl: You
left me and I left you Natalie: Meeting in the middle was a little too hard Both: I still love you wherever you are
Deryl: Well I reckon we must be two of a kind Natalie: Both
go a little too far sometime Deryl: First step back is the hardest part Both: I still love you wherever you are
Chorus Natalie: You might be out walking Talking
yourself out of loving me Deryl: You might be honky-tonking Making
eyes at everything you see Natalie: And it's killing me
With every beat of this broken heart Both: I still love you wherever you are
(Instrumental break - fiddle & electric guitar)
Natalie: Wherever you've gone whatever you've done Deryl: I
want you to know you're the only one Natalie: Just hope you haven't gone too far Both: I still love you wherever you
are
Repeat Chorus
Natalie: I still love you Deryl: I still love you Natalie:
I still love you Deryl: I still love you Natallie: Wherever you are Deryl: Wherever you are Natalie: I still love
you Deryl: I still love you Natalie: I still love you Deryl: I still love you Deryl: Wherever you are Natalie:
I still love you Deryl: I still love you Both: I still love youuuuuuu Natalie: Wherever you are Deryl: Wherever
you are Natalie: Wherever you are Deryl: Wherever you are Natalie: Wherever you are Deryl: Wherever you are Natalie:
Wherever you are Deryl: Wherever you are Natalie: I still love you
The Love Police - performed on Nashville Now 6/4/93 and The Texas Connection 7/12/93 written by Janet Dowling
and Michael Downing
Well he's a sweet-talkin' devil, kind of long and lean A real
lady-killer if you know what I mean A hit and run lover like you never saw I think somebody ought to call the law
Call the love police Call the love police Somebody call
the love police
Well he's a smooth operator, think you know the kind A two-timin' rascal with a one-track mind
But he stole my heart like a thief in the night When morning came around he was nowhere in sight
Call the
love police Call the love police Somebody call the love police Call the love police Take that man away
He's
stealin' hearts and leavin' em all over town He's a no-good-timin' son of a gun There's gotta be a law against such
foolin' around Somebody dial 9-1-1
Call the love police It's a job for the love police Well he's a real
heartbreaker and if I had my say The love police'll take that man away
He's stealin' hearts and leavin' em all
over town He's a no-good-timin' son of a gun There's gotta be a law against such foolin' around Somebody dial
9-1-1
Call the love police It's a job for the love police Well he's a real heartbreaker and if I had my say
The love police'll take that man away
Somebody call the love police (hey, hey) Somebody call the love police
(hey, hey) Somebody call the love police (hey, hey..) Somebody call the love police
The Price I Pay - performed during many concerts in late 90's written by Chris Hillman and
Bill Wildes
They tell me I'm the talk of the town I've been staying home
alone every night It's nobody's business where I'm bound As if to be alone and lonely just ain't right
On
a old freight train moving down the line I'm counting each day every minute that you're away I've never been the stay
at home kind But for you it's just the price that I pay
It's just the price that I pay for loving you The
price I pay for needing you so much The price I pay for needing you And putting all this time between us
I
knew I was in trouble when we met Dark clouds all around me I couldn't find the light These hard times ain't hard
to forget Now I believe in love at first sight
I'm putting my heart and soul on the line I know your love
is with me every day Your picture always there on my mind But for you it's just the price that I pay
It's
just the price that I pay for loving you The price I pay for needing you so much The price I pay for needing you And
putting all this time between us
Hey Dixie - performed during many concerts in late 90's
Hey Dixie I can hear you calling Hey Dixie I
can hear you calling me Hey Dixie I can hear you I can hear you calling Hey Dixie I can hear you calling
me
L.A. New York bound Sure does bring me down Seems like something's talking to me Saying you've been
here too long Singing that same ol song Got to get it on Down in Dixie
Hey Dixie I can hear you calling
Hey Dixie I can hear you calling me Hey Dixie I can hear you I can hear you calling Hey Dixie I
can hear you calling me
Music in the streets Flowers smelling sweet Something I can get so close to Yeah,
the sunshine is shining bright whipperwhill in the night Singing songs Down in Dixie
Hey Dixie I can
hear you calling Hey Dixie I can hear you calling me Hey Dixie I can hear you I can hear you calling Hey
Dixie I can hear you calling me
Good times waiting there Honeysuckles in the air Love is free down by
the river That Texas moon filled sky Ya know it's gonna make me high Got to get it on Down in Dixie
Hey
Dixie I can hear you calling Hey Dixie I can hear you calling me Hey Dixie I can hear you I can hear
you calling Hey Dixie I can hear you calling me
Love Me Like A Man
- performed on Austin City Limits 1999 written
by Chris Smither
The men that I've been seeing Well they got their soul
up on a shelf You know they could never love me Cuz they can't even love themselves
But I want someone to
love me Baby I want one to understand Won't put himself above me Who can love me like a man
I never seen
such losers Even though I tried Find a mind to take me home instead of Taking me for a ride
Baby, I use
someone to care Believe it when I tell you darlin' You can love me like a man
Oh they want me to rock them
Like my back ain't got no bone I want a man whose gonna rock me Like my backbone was his own
Baby, I want
to wait until you can Believe it when I tell you darlin' You can love me like a man
Come home sad and lonely
Feel like I wanna cry Come over here and hold me baby And don't ever ask the reason why I said I, I want a
lover Won't have to work to understand
Don't put yourself above me baby Love me like a man |
That Lonesome Road - performed on Austin City
Limits 2001 written by Don Grolnick and James Taylor
Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself
Don't turn your head back over your shoulder And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon Is shining high
above the trees
If I had stopped to listen once or twice If I had closed my mouth and opened my eyes If I
had cooled my head and warmed my heart I'd not be on this road tonight
Carry on Never mind feeling sorry for
yourself It doesn't save you from your troubled mind
Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself Don't turn
your head back over your shoulder And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon Is
shining high above the trees
The Rainbow
Connection - on Mary Had A Little Amp CD
written by Paul Williams
Why are there so many songs about rainbows And
what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, And rainbows have nothing to hide. So we've been
told and some choose to believe it I know they're wrong, wait and see. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, The
lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star? Somebody
thought of that and someone believed it, and look what it's done so far. What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing? And
what do we think we might see? Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me.
All
of us under its spell, we know that it's probably magic....
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I've
heard them calling my name. Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors? The voice might be one and the same. I've
heard it too many times to ignore it. It's something that I'm supposed to be. Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the
lovers, the dreamers and me. La, la la, La, la la la, La Laa, la la, La, La la laaaaaaa
