Bon Jovi

Lost Highway

In my rearview mirror
My life is gettin clearer
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure
Life changes like the weather
You grow up, grow old or hit the road ’round here
So I drive, watching white lines passing by
With my plastic dashboard Jesus, waiting there to greet us

Hey, hey, I finally found my way
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas there ain’t no brakes on this lost highway
Yeah I’m busting loose, I’m letting go
Out on this open road
It’s independence day on this lost highway

I don’t know where I’m going
But I know where I’ve been
I’m afraid of going back again
So I drive, years and miles are flying by
And waiting there to great us
Is my plastic dashboard Jesus

[Lost Highway lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Hey, hey, I finally found my way
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas there ain’t no brakes on this lost highway
Yeah I’m busting loose, I’m letting go
Out on this open road
It’s independence day on this lost highway

Oh patron saint of lonely souls
Tell this boy which way to go
Guide the car, you got the keys
Farewell to mediocrity
Kicking off the cruise-control
And turning up the radio
Got just enough religion
And a half tank of gas come on, let’s go

I finally found my way
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas there ain’t no brakes on this lost highway
I’m busting loose, I’m letting go
When I'm out on this open road
It’s independence day on this lost highway

[Capt Jack]

no day but today

Hey madmonkeygirl - the first time I heard Lost Highway it reminded me of this Billy Idol tune.

Plastic Jesus (Released 2005)

I don't care if it
Rains or freezes
As long as I've got my
Plastic Jesus
Ridin' on the dashboard
Of my car

Through my trials
And tribulations
And my travels
Through the nation
With my plastic Jesus
I'll go far

Ridin' down the thoroughfare
With a nose up in the air
A wreck may be ahead
But he don't mind

Trouble comin'
He don't see
He just keeps his eye on me
And any other thing that lies behind

[Chorus:]
With my plastic Jesus
Goodbye and I'll go far
I said with my plastic Jesus
Sitting on the dashboard of my car

When I'm in a traffic jam
He don't care if I say damn
I can let all my curses roll

'Cos Jesus' plastic doesn't hear
'Cos he has a plastic ear
The man who invented plastic
Saved my soul

[Chorus]

An if I weave around at night
Policemen think I'm very tight
They never find my bottle
Though they ask

'Cos plastic Jesus shelters me
For his head comes off you see
He's hollow and I use him like a flask

Woa Woa Woa

Save me

I don't care if it's dark or scary
Long as I got magnetic Mary
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car

I feel that I'm protected amply
I've got the love of the whole damn family
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car

With my plastic Jesus
I said goodbye
And I'll go far

And I said with my plastic Jesus
I said sittin' on the dashboard of my car

[Outro:]
When I'm goin' fornicatin'
I've got my ceramic Satan
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car
Women know I'm on the level
Thanks to the wide-eyed stoneware devil
Sneerin' from the dashboard of my car

Bon Jovi Make a Memory
Hello again, it's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killing time
Trying to solve life's mysteries

How's your life, it's been a while
God it's good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Looking for a reason not to leave

If you don't know if you should stay
If you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be

You wanna make a memory?

I dug up this old photograph
Look at all that hair we had.
It's bittersweet to hear you laugh
[ Make A Memory lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
Your phone is ringing I don't wanna ask

If you go now, I'll understand
If you stay, hey, I've got a plan
We're gonna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple of lines

You wanna make a memory?

If you don't know if you should stay
And you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be
We Should be

You wanna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple of lines

You wanna make a memory? (x2)

Mrs. Claus has old St. Nick
Romeo had Juliet
And Liz, well, she has her Dick."

since I just watched the MLB All-Star Game, this is for Ichiro:

"The future is a face of ignorance, I'll keep making it myself."
Maybe that's what you think
It's just that on a kind of loud morning, I lost my voice

But I remember your brightly shining eyes

If I were to meet them again, it would not make me happy
So this is the me of a feeble today
And yet I hate this

"Answers are infinite, I'll keep making them myself."
Dying leaves are, as usual, protecting the ground
Kicking, walking over that kind of earth is how I search for my voice

Each time I remember your decision to stand in solitude
I shake, enduring the tears
But this is the me of an inept today

Tomorrow, I want our hearts to face each other in the flame that burns you
As if when we met was something I could be proud of
The you inside the TV
is my superstar

「未来は不知顔(しらんかお)さ、自分で造っていく。」
多分あなたはそう云うと判っているのに
ほんのちょっとざわめいた朝に声を無くすの

私はあなたの強く光る眼(まなこ)思い出すけれど
もしも逢えたとして喜べないよ
か弱い今日の私では
これでは未だ厭(いや)だ

「答えは無限大さ、自分で造っていく。」
枯れ行く葉が相変わらず地面を護(まも)っている
そんな大地蹴って歩いては声を探すの

私はあなたの孤独に立つ意思を思い出す度に
泪を堪えて震えているよ
拙い今日の私でも

明日はあなたを燃やす炎に向き合うこゝろが欲しいよ
もしも逢えたときは誇れる様に
テレビのなかのあなた
私のスーパースター

[CoasterMatt]

It's the winning side
And everybody's cheering for the winning side
And the children leave their homes to join the winning side
And when Jesus comes He'll march on with the winning side
And we've got all the right answers on the winning side

And the guiding light
Whether wrong or right
And we have no fear
No we have no fear
Waiting for the sign
We will give our lives
We will give our lives

And I feel so isolated
It's so lonely here at night
I could almost feel you near me
I imagine that you're with me

On the winning side
We don't ask too many questions on the winning side
And I've got this strange sensation on the winning side
I don't recognize the faces of the winning side
And we all live here in cages . . .

Someone cried last night
And it made a sound
With my eyes closed tight
I hear everything
I can hear your voice
When I kiss the ground
When I kiss the ground

And I'd like to know you better
And I'd like to know your name
I could really show you something
If you give me half a chance
'Cuz I'm on the winning side

(Winning side)

In the sleepless night
When the blindness comes
Washing over me
Like a giant wave
On a sandless beach
Washing over me
I am proud to be . . .

And I'd like to take you somewhere
That you've never been before
And I feel so isolated
And I feel so all alone
Here on the winning side
(And I feel so all alone)

Makin' a living the old hard way
Takin' and giving by day by day
I dig snow and rain and bright sunshine
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)

My dog Sam eats purple flowers
We ain't got much but what we got's ours
We dig snow and rain and bright sunshine
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)

I feel fine I'm talkin' bout peace of mind
I'm gonna take my time I'm gettin' the good sign
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)

Loving the free and feelin' spirit
Of huggin' a tree when you get near it
Diggin' the snow and rain and bright sunshine
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)

I feel fine I'm talkin' bout peace of mind
I'm gonna take my time I'm gettin' the good sign
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)
Draggin' the line (draggin' the line).....

If she wants to dance and drink all night then there’s no one that can stop her. She’s going until the house lights come up or her stomach spills onto the floor. This night is going to end when we’re damn well ready for it to be over. Worked all week long now the music is playing on our time. We do what we do to get by, and then we need a release

You get mixed up with the wrong guys. You get messed up on the wrong drugs. Sometimes the party takes you places that you didn’t really plan on going. When people see the track marks on her arms she knows what they’re thinking. She keeps on working for that minimum, as if a high school eductaion offered any other options. They don’t know nothing about redemption. They don’t know nothing about recovery. Some people just aint the type for marriage and family.

No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie.
No mother ever dreams that her daugherrs going to grow up to sleep alone.

She’s out of step with the style. She don’t know where the actions happening. You know the downtown club scene aint nothing like it used to be. You reach a point where there’s not a lie in the world that you could use to make the boys believe your still in you twenties. She’s not waitng for them to come over and ask for the privledge. She can still here that Rebel Yell just as loud as it was in 1983. There aint no Johnny coming home to share a bed with her and she doesn’t care.

No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie.
No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to sleep alone.

If she had to live it all over again you know she wouldn’t change anything for the world.
