Write down the lyrics of the first 25 songs ( i am only going to do the first few lines)

Everyone guess the artist and/or song

No Googling



1.) There's a ship out on the ocean at the mercy of the sea. Its been tossed about, lost and broken, wondering aimlessly and God somehow you know that ship is me. Cause there's a lighthouse, in a harbor, shining faithfully pouring its light out across the water for this sinking soul at sea. That someone out there still believes in me.
2.) His eyes are cold and restless, his wounds have almost healed, she'd give half of Texas to change the way he feels. She knows his love in Tulsa, she know he's gonna go.
3.) Well i'm gonna raise a fuss im gonna raise a holler about working all summer just to try to earn a dollar. Every time I call my baby and try to get a date my boss says no dice son, you gotta work late
4.) Yesterday she thanked me for oiling that front door this morning when she wakes she wont be thankful anymore. She'll never know how much I cared just that i couldnt stay. I'll never know the reason that i run away.
5.) THey call them cool those hearts that have no scars to show the ones that never let go and risk the table being turned. They call them fools who have to dance within the flame that chance the sorrow and the shame that always come with being burned.
6.) Come up to meet you, tell you Im sorry. YOu dont know how lovely you are. I had to find you tell you that i need you.
7.) By name and images all powers awaken and reawaken. So we call her forth she that who has been known throughout time and across space by her many names.
8.) He called her on the road from a lonely cold hotel room just to hear her say I love you one more time, and when he heard the sound of the kids laughing in the background he had to wipe a tear from his eye. Little voice came on the phone and said Daddy when are you coming home?
9.) Well grandaddy was a hillbilly scholar blue collar of a man He came from the school where you didnt need nothing if you couldnt make it with your two hands. He was backwoods, backwards used words like no sir, yes 'mam, by God be darned, and hell yeah i'm American.
10.) Well i was ranting down the road in my pickup truck defending the faith and the land of the brave. Ive got a fish on the back a cross on the dash a sticker on the front that says Jesus says. I drove into the woods where I knew those heathens raised, I had to save their souls from the dangers of the new age.
11.) I walked in the band just started the singer couldnt carry a tune in a bucket. I was on a mission to drown her memory but i thought no way with all this ruckus
12.) Theres a story that my daddy tells religiously, like clockwork every time he sees an opening in a conversation, about the ways things used to be. I just roll my eyes and make a beeline for the door but I always endup starry eyes crossed legged on the floor, hanging onto every word, man the things that I heard.
13.) I heard that youve been wondering how ive been getting along, i guess you dont think that i can make it with you gone. Well I dont want you to worry, dont you lose any sleep, but a man called long distance this morning says there thinking about putting me on the US today.
14.) Im broke but Im happy. Im poor but im kind. Im short but im healthy yeah. Im high but im grounded. Im sane but im overwhelmed. Im lost but im hopeful baby. What it comes down to is that everything is gonna be fine fine fine.
15.) Pushing horns werent easy like the movie said it was. I dont recall no dance-hall girls, or hotel rooms with rugs. You worked hot, and tired and nasty and rode your pony's head too low. And remember all the nights you couldnt sleep cause it was too damn cold.
16.) I spent last night in the arms of a girl in Louisana, and though im out on the highway my thoughts are still with her. Such a strange combination of a woman and a child. Such a strange situation stopping every 100 miles.
17.) My grandmother owned a night club on the arkansas oklahoma line. Momma put me on a greyhound and i went to stay with her in the summertime. Id box up those empty longnecks and make a hand and nights shed let me sneak out of the kitchen and sit in with the band.
18.) On a fresh May morning, I took my love to church.To see if Parson Pruneface was properly a-perched. The sermon scarcely started, someone began to snore
19.) Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all. You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled, they crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain. They set you on the treadmill, and they made you change your name
20.) Once upon a time not so long ago: Tommy used to work on the docks union's been on strike. He's down on his luck - It's tough so tough. Gina works the diner all day working for her man. She brings home her pay for love for love.
21.) That night will live forever, thier first time to lie together. They were finally were desire dared for them to go, both belonging to another but longing to be lovers. Promising each other that the night will only know.
22.) There's something wrong with the world today. I dont know what it is, something's wrong with our eyes. WE're seeing things in a different way and God knows it ain't His. It sure ain't no surprise.
23.)Levon wears his war wound like a crown.He calls his child Jesus
`Cause he likes the name and he sends him to the finest school in town
24.) Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world she took the midnight train going anywhere. Just a city boy born and raised in south Detroit he took the midnight train going anywhere. A singer in a smoking room. A smell of wine and cheap perfume. For a smile they can share the night it goes on and on and on.
25.) Everybody's talking but they dont say a thing. They look at me with sad eyes but i dont want the sympathy. Its cool that you didnt want me sometimes you cant go back, whyd you have to go and make a mess like that.
