ITT we post every cliche touring song lyric

Life’s like a road that you travel on
When there’s one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There’s a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won’t haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore

We won’t hesitate
Break down the garden gate
There’s not much left for today

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you’re going my way
I want to drive it all night long

Through all these cities and all these towns
It’s in my blood and it’s all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber pass to Vancouver’s lights
Knock me down get back up again
You’re in my blood I’m not a lonely man

There’s no load I can’t hold
A road so rough this I know
I’ll be there when the light comes in
Just tell ’em we’re survivors

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you’re going my way
I want to drive it all night long

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long (gimme gimme gimme gimme, yeah)
If you’re going my way
I want to drive it all night long

There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once but now
We look it in the eye, oh

Ooooooh...

There ain’t no load I can’t hold
Road so rough this I know
I’ll be there when the light comes in
Tell ’em we’re survivors

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long (yeah yeah yeah, yeah)
If you’re going my way
I want to drive it all night long (yeah) (ah gimme gimme gimme gimme, yeah)

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you’re going my way
I want to drive it all night long (ah gimme gimme gimme gimme, yeah)

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long (yeah yeah yeah, yeah)
If you’re going my way
I want to drive it all night long (ah gimme gimme gimme gimme, yeah)
 
Gjennom taakete daler
mellom dystre fjell
under graa skyer
mitt i svarte natt

paa en stolt hest
ifort svarte kler
sterke vaapen i haand

Uendelig med dode trer
en evighet av kulde
over stokk og stein
inn i skyggene...

Ut fra taaken
ut fra morke
ut fr fjellets store skygge
drommens slott...

da stopper rittet
som varte i en livstid
for herren gaar (Inn i slottet far droemmen)

[In das Schloss der Traeume]
 
737 coming out of the sky
Oh won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride
I want to move

Playing in a travelling band, ee-ya!
Well I'm flying across land
Trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelling band

Take me to the hotel baggage car no where
Come on come on won't you get me to my room
I want to move

Playing in a travelling band, ee-ya!
Well I'm flying across the land
Trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelling band

Listen to the radio talking about the last show
Someone got excited, had to call the state militia
I want to move

Playing in a travelling band, ee-ya!
Well I'm flying across the land
Trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelling band, Oh-wow!

(solo)

Hell will come again on a Saturday night
Oh with your fussing and your fighting
Won't you get me to the right
I want to move

Playing in a travelling band, ee-ya!
Well I'm flying across the land
Trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelling band, oh-wow!

(solo)

Oh I'm playing in a travelling band
Playing in a travelling band
Won't you get me, take me hand
Well I'm playing in a travelling band
Well I'm flying across the land
Trying to get a hand
Playing in a travelling band, oh-wow!

Hey!
 
Seven hundred miles to play to fifteen angry men.
I need some sleep.
They hate the songs.
We hate them too.
This show is free.
Twenty minutes in broke another fucking string.
Just call it luck.
They start to leave.
I start to plead.
Someone yells you suck.
Suddenly that joe kicks hard in my veins.
I cool down.
Things sound good right now.
Suddenly fists turn into brave ears,
move as one.
Funny how no one knows we came.
They wouldn't come anyway.
Should I feel grateful to play.
I'm living life my way.
I fell in love with my enemy.
I let go of everything I had left at home.
Two cool people came.
They're hiding by the door.
Eyes wide with fright.
A guy,
a girl,
in love with the whole world.
It almost makes it right.
Every little thing must go wrong.
 
She's my cherry pie,
Cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise.
Tastes so good, make a grown man cry,
Sweet cherry pie.

Swingin' on the front porch,
Swingin' on the lawn.
Swingin' where we want,
Cause there ain't nobody home.
Swingin' to the left,
And swingin' to the right.
If I think about baseball,
I'll swing all night, yeah.

Swingin' in the living room,
Swingin' in the kitchen.
Most folks don't cause,
They're too busy bitchin'.
Swingin' in there cause,
She wanted me to feed her.
So I mixed up the batter,
And she licked the beater.

I scream, you scream,
We all scream for her.
Don't even try cause,
You can't ignore her.

She's my cherry pie,
Cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise.
Tastes so good, make a grown man cry,
Sweet cherry pie, oh yeah.

She's my cherry pie,
Put a smile on your face ten miles wide.
Looks so good, bring a tear to your eye,
Sweet cherry pie.

Swingin' to the drums,
Swingin' to guitar.
Swingin' to the bass,
In the back of my car.
Ain't got money,
Ain't got no gas.
But we'll get where we're goin' if we,
Swing real fast.

I scream, you scream,
We all scream for her.
Don't even try cause,
You can't ignore her.

She's my cherry pie,
Cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise.
Tastes so good, make a grown man cry,
Sweet cherry pie, oh yeah.

She's my cherry pie,
Put a smile on your face ten miles wide.
Looks so good, bring a tear to your eye,
Sweet cherry pie.

Swing it! All night long…
Swing it!
Swingin’ in the bathroom,
Swingin' on the floor.
Swingin' so hard,
We forgot to lock the door.
In walks her daddy,
Standin' six foot four.
He said, “You ain't gonna swing with my daughter no more.”

She's my cherry pie,
Cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise.
Tastes so good, make a grown man cry,
Sweet cherry pie, oh yeah.

She's my cherry pie,
Put a smile on your face ten miles wide.
Looks so good, bring a tear to your eye,
Sweet cherry pie.
Sweet cherry pie…
Swing it!
 
WHITE LINE FEVER by Merle Haggard


CHORUS:
D G D D A D
White Line Fever a Sickness born down deep within my soul
D G D D A D D7
White Line Fever the Years keep flyin' by like the high line poles

VERSE:
G A D
The wrinkles in my forehead show the miles I've left behind me
G A
They continue to remind me How fast I'm growin' old
D
Guess I'll die with this fever in my soul.

BRIDGE:
A D
Well, I wonder just what makes a man keep pushin' on
A D
Why must I keep on singin' this old highway song.
G A D
I've been from coast to coast a hundred times or more,
G A D
And I ain't seen one place that I ain't been before.

[CHORUS]
[solo over verse]

It’s all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we’re wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I’d drive all night just to get back home

Chorus:
I’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it’s not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you’re all alone all you do is think

Chorus

I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, ’cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still I’m standing tall
I’ve seen a million faces an I’ve rocked them all

I’m a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted dead or alive
I’m a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I’m wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
