A cool song in many perspectives. Enjoyed it a lot!

MY HOME TOWN

Performed by Jeff Newton



V1

Nothing ever seems to change 
every day is just the same
they roll the sidewalks up, when the sun goes down
Barber shop and a liquor store 
my best friend lives right next door
Ain't nothing but a one lane crossroads town

Pre CH

It's my home town....and I plan to stay around   

CH

We got girls with smiles that will break your heart
Secret kisses after dark
People who spent their lives on solid ground
We've got steeples that reach towards the sky
Hearts that never learned to lie
Friends that will never ever leave your side
And it's only two miles wide
But it's my home town

V2

It's where I'm from, where I was raised 
those red dirt roads through the summer haze  
We have fields of green and clear blue skies  
whippoorwill as the sun goes down
friends and family gather round
yeah grab the guitar 
and lay it down

Pre-CH

It's my home town
and I plan to stay around

CH
  
We got girls with smiles that will break your heart
Secret kisses after dark
People who spent their lives on solid ground
We've got steeples that reach towards the sky
Hearts that never learned to lie
Friends that will never ever leave your side
And it's only two miles wide yeah it's my home town

Tag:

Friends that will never ever leave your side
And it's only two miles wide yeah 

it's my home town
   
It's my home town

Too Much Fun

YOU GOT WHAT I NEED 

By David Snyder 
 

V1 

I need more than a voice 
On my telephone 
I need a place where someone needs me 
A place to call home 
I need more than a preacher 
Tellin’ me that I’m wrong 
I need someone listen 
While I’m singing my song 

 CH 

And you know all the places in me 
Where I’m hurt and afraid 
And nervous to see 
But you listen to my heartache 
Then you love me tenderly 
And God knows this is heaven  
Yeah you got what I need

V2


I need more than a dream 
To keep me alive 
I need someone to hold 
So I can survive 
I need more than a whisper 
From up in the sky 
I need a kiss on my lips 
Or I will break down and die 

CH 

And you know all the places in me 
Where I’m hurt and afraid 
And nervous to see 
But you listen to my heartache 
Then love me tenderly 
And God knows this is heaven
cause you got what I need

Inst.

YOU GOT WHAT I NEED

A country ballad in which the subject ventures back into romance after having his/her heart shattered in a previous relationship. Caution in the way!

Complete Surrender – Lyric

(v1)
Burned by love some time ago
It’s hard to let my feelings show
Scars remain from that hurting time
My heart’s afraid to cross the line
But somehow you’ve broken through
Fixed my heart as good as new
But there’s still one thing you need to know

CHORUS
If I fall in love with you and offer you my heart
I hope you always, always will remember
It’s more than just I love you
It’s everything I am, it’s complete surrender

(v2)
A simple lesson I have learned
A partial love gets no return
Give you’re all where love’s concerned
Any less is a heartache earned
Half a love can’t be redeemed
There can be no in between
If I fall in love it’s everything

Complete Surrender
