Silver Wings
by
Garrett Hedlund
Silver wings
Shine in the sunlight.
Roaring engines
Heading somewhere in flight.
They're taking you away.
Leavin me lonely.
Silver wings
Slowly fadin outta sight.
Don't leave me I cry.
Don't take that airplane ride.
But you locked me out of your mind.
Left me standin here behind.
Silver wings
Shine in the sunlight.
Roaring engines
Heading somewhere in flight.
They're taking you away.
Leavin me lonely.
Silver wings
Slowly fadin outta sight.
Silver wings
Shine in the sunlight.
Roaring engines
Heading somewhere in flight.
They're taking you away.
Leavin me lonely.
Silver wings
Slowly fadin outta sight.
Silver wings
Slowly fadin out of sight.
Slowly fadin out of sight.
Slowly fadin out of sight.

A Little Bit Stronger
by
Leighton Meester
Woke up late today
And I still felt the sting of the pain
But I brushed my teeth anyway
Got dressed through the mess
And put a smile on my face
I got a little bit stronger
Riding in the car to work
And I'm trying to ignore the hurt
So I turned on the radio
Stupid song made me think of you
I listened to it for a minute
But then I changed it
And I'm getting a little bit stronger
Just a little bit stronger
I'm done hoping that we can work it out
I'm done with how it feels
Spinning my wheels
And letting you drag my heart around
And I'm done thinking you could ever change
I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger
I get a little bit stronger
It doesn't happen overnight
Then you turn around and months gone by
And you realize you haven't cried
I'm not giving you an hour, or a second, or another minute longer
I'm busy getting stronger
I'm done hoping that we can work it out
I'm done with how it feels
Spinning my wheels
And letting you drag my heart around
And I'm done thinking that you could ever change
I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger
Just a little bit stronger
Getting along without you, baby
I'm better off without you, baby
How does it feel without me, baby?
I'm getting stronger without you, baby
I'm done hoping that we can work it out
I'm done with how it feels
Spinning my wheels
And letting you drag my heart around
And I'm done thinking that you could ever change
I know my heart will never be the same
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay
Even on my weakest days
I get a little bit stronger
Just a little bit stronger
I get a little bit stronger
Just a little bit stronger
A little bit, a little bit, a little bit stronger
A little bit stronger

A Fighter
by
Gwyneth Paltrow
They say you get stronger in the broken places
when you lean into the crisis that your facing
In your weakness your made strong
They say when you've fallen off a horse
The first thing you gotta do of course is
Climb right back on
Baby we been letting go
When we should be hanging tough
When it comes to our love, I ain't
giving up, giving up, giving up
I'm a, I'm a fighter
I must admit I didn't see it coming now face to face
And baby I ain't running
I won't do that anymore
Cause I'm a fighter
This loves worth fighting for
I could back down and fall to pieces
Just to fire with a million reasons
You know that's what I used to do
Ohh but I believe we can go the distance
Not take the path of least resistance
I'll be right here for you
Ohh I'm a, I'm a fighter
I'm a, I'm a fighter
This loves worth fighting for
Oooooo I'm a fighter
I'm a fighter
I'm a, I'm a fighter
This loves worth fighting for
I'm a fighter
Ooh I'm a fighter
I'm a fighter
Ooh I'm a fighter

Hard Out Here
by
Garrett Hedlund
Well, after all these years of running 'round
Always flying high and fallin' down
I gotta get back to the way I was
Gonna turn it all 'round just because
And everybody's talkin' about the shape I'm in
They say "boy, you ain't a poet, just a drunk with a band."
All over and over, again and again,
Lord, they don't know about the places I've been
It gets hard out here
I know it don't look it
I used to have heart, but the highway took it
The game was right, but the deal was crooked
Lord, I'll make it perfectly clear, it gets hard out here
I guess there must be something I'm missing
My momma told me I should've gone into easy listenin'
Going with the band 'cause I thought it was cool
Oh, good Lord, I should've gone back to school
Oh, pretty darlin', it'll be OK
You know one of these days I'm gonna take you away
She said, "oh, sweet daddy, you're probably right,
You know we might get lucky, but it won't be tonight"
It gets hard out here
I know it don't look it
I used to have heart, but the highway took it
The game was right, but the deal was crooked
Lord, I'll make it perfectly clear, it gets hard out here
I know it don't seem it
I said I tried, but I never did mean it
Nobody's listening so we mine as well scream it
Oh, God, we're all outta beer
It gets hard out here

Summer Girl
by
Leighton Meester
I drive an army jeep
My bumper sticker reads
Drink 'til he's cute
That's what I'm gonna do
Ain't got no serious thing
Don't wear no diamond ring
I've got a new tattoo
I think you'll like the view
In my mind
The sun shines
All the time
'Cause I'm just a summer girl
I wear my flip flops
And when I let my hair down
That's when the party starts
And who needs a boyfriend
I've got my girlfriends
And when we get together
The summer never ends
Tank tops and cut-off jeans
Bikinis and belly rings
We'll make that scene when the
DJ plays 'Dacing Queen'
Fellas lay your money down
We'll letcha buy around
Don't push your luck
Don't get more than your hopes up
In my world
day or night
Rain or shine
I'm just a summer girl
I wear my flip flops
And when I let my hair down
That's when the party starts
And who needs a boyfriend
I've got my girlfriends
And when we get together
The summer never ends
Everybody needs a little bit of sunshine
Everybody needs time to unwind
Everybody gotta have a good time
I'm just a summer girl
Everybody get up on your feet
Everybody gotta shake your body
Everybody got a right to be free
I'm just a summer girl
I'm just a summer girl
I wear my flip flops
And when I let my hair down
The party never stops
And who needs a boyfriend
I've got my girlfriends
And when we get together
The summer never ends
I'm just a summer girl
Everybody needs a little bit of sunshine
Everybody needs time to unwind
Everybody gotta have a good time
I'm just a summer girl
Everybody get up on your feet
Everybody gotta shake your body
Everybody got a right to be free
I'm just a summer girl

Keep Me Hangin' On
by
Jypsi
It's true, you have me twisted around your finger;
It seems that's where I belong.
You know how to hold me, thrill me, and control me;
Just enough to keep me hangin' on, on, just enough to keep me hangin' on.
My heart is like a yo-yo on a string,
I'm tied to you, right or wrong.
My love keeps growing cause your love keeps showing,
Just enough to keep me hangin' on.
A love as strong as mine will make me do most anything,
Like hiding tears and heartaches and dreaming silly dreams.
You've got me where you want me, you keep stringing me along,
Just enough to keep me hangin' on.
You've got me where you want me,
You keep stringing me along, just enough to keep me hangin' on.

Take Me Away
by
Hayes Carll
Rain beatin' down, on a midnight moon
Oh babe, I'll be leavin' soon
Take me away
The winds are howlin' like an old freight train
Oh babe these are the winds of change
Take me away
CHORUS:
Cause I been sittin' on the front porch
Watchin' the world go round
Through the eyes of a fool, head like a rock
My whole world tumblin' down
Rain beatin' down, on a midnight moon
Oh baby I'll be leavin' soon
Take me away
Grass around your ankles in the field before the flood
You're a rough-cut diamond in the Mississippi mud
Take me away
Well I'm a two-time loser with my guitar and my gun
You're a mover and a shaker, and a lover in the sun
Take me away
CHORUS

Kissin In Cars
by
Jesse Lee
I'm all grown up now and I donno how,
But I'm finding out what life's about oh baby, yeah baby
This month's rent is already spent, it seems like it just came and went,
It's crazy, lifes getting crazy
And the sun wears goodbye, and the moon's getting high
If this world I'm living in thinks I'm giving in easy
Your're gonna find out I only go down kickin' and screaming
I'll never stop stop chasing, and dreaming and wishing on shooting stars
And I still like kissin' in cars
This lipsticks got one more turn
And these heels I'm wearing sure do hurt,
Oh baby, I'm just trying to look pretty
And these smooky lights and boulevards
Can't last forever but here we are,
Oh baby, let's get crazy
And the sun wears goodbye, and the moon's getting high
If this world I'm living in and thinks I'm giving in easy
Your gonna find I only go down kickin' and screaming
I'll never stop stop chasing, and dreaming and wishing on shooting stars,
And I still like kissin' in cars
I know there's gonna come a day, somebody is going to sweep me away
And I'll give him my heart, and we'll keep kissin' in cars
If this world im living in and thinks I'm giving in easy,
You're gonna find I only go down kickin' and screaming
If this world I'm living in and thinks I'm giving in easy,
Your gonna find out I only go down kickin and screaming
I'll never stop stop chasing, and dreaming and wishing on shooting stars,
And I still like kissin' in cars

Turn Loose The Horses
by
Garrett Hedlund
I look down that winding road
I needed rest and a place to go
Sick and tired of running round
Flying high and falling down
I'm gonna leave these blues behind
For some other fool to find
He won't care and I won't mind
I can't lose what was not mine
Turn loose all the horses and watch them run
Take time to take in the setting sun
Throw back a keeper just to watch them swim
Forgive your enemies and love your friends
Life goes wrong it feels like too much bang
Surely broken hearts are gonna love again
I guess if your heart's torn around the seams
Just think about your favorite pair of faded blue jeans
And on and on about the things gone wrong
Every day it feels like the same old song
Poor tortured souls trying to pay their dues
But life's no fun when dreams don't come true
Turn loose all the horses and watch them run
Take time to take in the setting sun
Throw back a keeper just to watch him swim
Forgive your enemies and love your friends
Turn loose all the horses and watch them run
Take time to take in the setting sun
Throw back a keeper just to watch him swim
Forgive your enemies and love your friends

Travis
by
Gwyneth Paltrow
Well who's that gent with the shiny wind breaker
Who just walked into the place
Three wind baskets put in kiss with a handsom face
Big hearted wee-high scoring warrior
Wont you give me a chance
Hey travis can i have this dance
Oh my that rascals one bad hombre
There aint no question bout that
Brown eyed big hearted brave big brother
And a fifty gallon hat
And when you make a friend in this big old world
It aint happening stan
Hey travis can i have this dance

Fly Again
by
Nikki Williams
This is my song to say I'm sorry for
The way I love you wrong
Please forgive me when I do what I do
I make mistakes if I were you
I know I'd already be gone
But you stay because you know it's true
That I love you and I need you
And I can't imagine where I'd be
Without you beside me
Heaven only knows
Every fallen angel prays for a second chance
A believer's wish
All my life these tired wings have given in
To the same old sin
You're the only one who makes me
Feel like I could ever fly again
If I could take back all the hurts
Then I could lose all my regrets
Maybe together we could just forget
Then I'll know you and I'll show you
I can love you with a patient heart
Cause without you what would I do
Heaven only knows
Every fallen angel prays for a second chance
A believer's wish
All my life these tired wings have given in
To the same old sin
You're the only one who makes me
Feel like I could ever fly again
I can almost remember
Cause everytime you hold me close
I believe what heaven knows
Every fallen angel prays for a second chance
To fly again
And all my life these tired wings have given in
To the same old sin
You're the only one who makes me
Feel like I could ever fly
You're the only one who makes me
Feel like I could ever fly again
This is my song to say I'm sorry for
The way I love you wrong

Give In To Me
by
Leighton Meester
I'm gonna wear you down
I'm gonna make you see
I'm gonna get to you
You're gonna give in to me
I'm gonna start a fire
You're gonna feel the heat
I'm gonna burn for you
You're gonna melt for me
Come on, come on
Into my arms
Come on, come on
Give in to me
You're gonna take my hand
Whisper the sweetest words
And if you're ever sad
I'll make you laugh
I'll chase the hurt
My heart is set on you
I don't want no one else
And if you don't want me
I guess I'll be all by myself
Come on, come on
Into my arms
Come on, come on (come on)
Give in to me
I'll use my eyes to draw you in
Until I'm under your skin
I'll use my lips, I'll use my arms
Come on, come on, come on
Give in to me
Give in to me
[x2]

Hide Me Babe
by
Garrett Hedlund
After all these years runnin' round
Flyin high and fallin down
Well the time has come at last
To rest my heart and ease my past
I'm gonna leave these blues behind
For some other fool to find
He won't care and I don't mind
Hide me babe, hide me babe
Darlin don't you cry tonight
The moon is full and the world is right
I've loved more than my share
Took the pain and called it fair
So I'm gonna lay down all my fears
My highway blues and my ramblin tears
They can shout it down the line
I can't take what was not mine
I'll raise my glass and I'll make a toast
Better than some harder than most
Left our mark on every town
Chased our dreams and we stood our ground
But I can't do those things no more
Like the way I've done before
The same wings that brought me through
Blow that fate and flame out too
After all these years runnin' round
Flyin high and fallin down
Well the time has come at last
To rest my heart and ease my past
I'm gonna leave these blues behind
For some other fool to find
He won't care and I don't mind
Hide me babe, hide me babe

Timing Is Everything
by
Garrett Hedlund
When the stars line up
And you catch a break
People think you're lucky
But you know its grace
It can happen so fast
Or a little bit late
Timing is everything
You know I've had close calls
When it could've been me
I was young when I learned just how fragile life can be
I lost friends of mine
I guess it wasn't my time
Timing is everything
And I could've been the child that God took home,
And I would've been one more unfinished song
And when it seems a rhyme is hard to find
That's when one comes along
Just in time
I remember that day
When our eyes first met
You ran into the building to get out of the rain
Cause you were soaking wet
And as I held the door
You wanted to know my name
Timing is everything
And I could've been another minute late
And you'd never would've crossed my path that day
And when it seems true love is hard to find
That's when love comes along
Just in time
You can call it fate
Or destiny
Sometimes it really seems like its a mystery
Cause you can be hurt by love
Or healed by the same
Timing is everything
It can happen so fast
Or a little too late
Timing is everything
