Coping with a relationship ending. Thoughts of suicide and depression run amok.

Lyrics:

I try to forget about her
the thought makes me sigh
I try to move on without her
but I’m just living a lie

Wouldn’t it be a good day to die? (4x)

Sometimes I think about her
the thought makes me cry
And I just can’t live without her (no)
I’d much rather die

Wouldn’t it be a good day to die? (4x)

Wouldn’t it be a good day to die? (8x)

Cuz when you kill yourself
There’s no coming back
But, wouldn’t it be a good day to die?

Wouldn’t it be a good day to die?

The Son of Sam killed dark-haired women, but not blondes. This is about his theoretical love/appreciation for the latter

Lyrics:

Hello, I’m the Son of Sam
It’s awfully fine to meet ya
Come feel the power of this .44
That’ll surely teach ya

No, I don’t hate women
The demons told me to
Unfortunately, it must be you 
Your long dark hair is just no good
I really wish you were…

Chorus: Fair-haired girls, fair-haired girls
Rock my world, fair-haired girls 
Fair-haired girls, I love ‘em fair-haired girls 

That damn dog keeps me up all night 
Puts me in a fright 
I’m goin crazy, no end in sight 
No, I can’t see the light

Chorus

Hello, I’m the Son of Sam
It’s awfully fine to meet ya 
Come feel the power of this .44
That’ll surely teach ya 

No, I don’t hate women 
The demons told me to
Unfortunately, it must be you 
Your long dark hair is just no good
I really wish you were…

Chorus 

Fair-haired! (4x)

Fair haired girls

The grass isn’t always greener after breaking up 

Lyrics:

All the good times and the bad
We were happy, then became sad
Pissed off and mad…
You used to be my girl
My entire world
But now it’s come crumblin’ down

Chorus: You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
And you can’t move on
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
And no, you can’t move on 

Your blue skies used to be so blue 
But now they’re grey, with rain all day
And it drives you insane…
And it brings you pain, brings you pain 

You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone 
And you can’t move on 
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
And no, you can’t move on 

You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
And you can’t move on 
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
And no, you can’t move on 

You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone 
And you can’t move on 
All the memories lost
Now you’re payin’ the cost 

You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone 
And no, you can’t move on 
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone 
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone

You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone…
And you can’t move on…

You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone

Social media addiction and the strive for stardom

Lyrics:

Why do you speak in half-truths?
Why do you speak in half-truths?

Went on Tinder today
Swiped my life away
Hopped on the ‘Gram
Gave another ‘like’ today
Facebook is pretty boring
X is nothing to write home about 
When will it be my time to shine?
TikTok is surely wearing me out!

Chorus: Cuz everybody wants to be famous 
Everybody wants to be a star
Social media…
It’ll surely break your heart 
Cuz everybody wants to be famous 
And everybody wants to be a star 
Social media…
It’ll surely break your heart 

Why do you speak in half-truths?
Why do you speak in half-truths?

Cuz everybody wants to be famous 
Everybody wants to be a star 
Social media…
It’ll surely break your heart 
Cuz everybody wants to be famous 
And everybody wants to be a star 
Social media…
It’ll surely break your heart 

But now I’m famous 
Everybody loves me 
Nothing can stop me now
No one is above me

Why do you speak in half-truths?
Why do you speak in half-truths?

Cuz everybody wants to be famous
Everybody wants to be a star
Social media…
It’ll surely break your heart 
Cuz everybody wants to be famous 
And everybody wants to be a star 
Social media…
It’ll surely break your heart (it’ll surely break your heart)

Half-truths

A stalker/killer’s viewpoint of his prey “Stacy”

Lyrics:

I stood out her window last night 
She saw me and it was not a pretty sight
As I watched her undress herself
She picked up the phone and the cops came down (cops came down)

Chorus: Stacy’s arms and Stacy’s hips
Stacy’s ass and Stacy’s tits
Stacy’s hair and Stacy’s eyes
Stacy’s legs and Stacy’s thighs
Stacy’s arms and Stacy’s hips 
Stacy’s ass and Stacy’s tits 
I hope I get close enough to touch Stacy’s lips 

And so I went to jail for yet another time 
Sittin’ in that jail was never a good time 
They prosecuted me and I did not put up a fight 
But soon again I will see the daylight (see the daylight)

Stacy’s arms and Stacy’s hips 
Stacy’s ass and Stacy’s tits
Stacy’s hair and Stacy’s eyes
Stacy’s legs and Stacy’s thighs 
Stacy’s arms and Stacy’s hips 
Stacy’s ass and Stacy’s tits
I hope I get close enough to touch Stacy’s lips 

All I’m sayin’ is you know I’ve been waitin’ so long (so long)
It’s been 10 years and you know my Stacy’s been gone (from me)
All I’m sayin’ is you know I’ve been waitin’ so long (so long)
It’s been 10 years and you know my Stacy’s been gone (from me)
All I’m sayin’ is you know I’ve been waitin’ so long (so long) 
It’s been 10 years and you know my Stacy’s been gone (from me)
All I’m sayin’ is you know I’ve been waitin’ so long 
It’s been 10 years and you know my Stacy’s been gone

Lyrics:

There she goes again…
Off with another boyfriend 
When will this madness end?
When will I see her again?

There she goes again…
Off with another boyfriend

But when the weather turns I’ll just be sad…again

Choosing alcohol over the love of your life

Lyrics:

Got me sittin’ at this bar 
Wondering why life’s gotta be so hard
A teardrop from eye runs down my face 
Falls into my glass and drowns forever…
Like the love I let get away 

And I wonder what it’s gonna take?
Why do I drown in my glass and wash the sorrow away?
And let you get away?

Chorus:
Drink away the tears, it might take years
Drown in your sorrows, wait til tomorrow 
Wash away the pain, you might go insane 
Drink for today, know she’s not coming back tomorrow anyways 

Drink you up like champagne 
Tears fall like hard rain
Whiskey don’t love me
But I can’t resist her tease 

Chorus:
Drink away the tears, it might take years
Drown in your sorrows, wait til tomorrow 
Wash away the pain, you might go insane 
Drink for today, know she’s not coming back tomorrow anyways 

And I wonder what it’s gonna take?
Why do I drown in my glass and wash the sorrow away?
And let you get away?

Chorus:
Drink away the tears, it might take years 
Drown in your sorrows, wait til tomorrow 
Wash away the pain, you might go insane 
Drink for today, know she’s not coming back tomorrow anyways

Drink away the tears

Falling in love with a girl in your pickup truck 

Lyrics:

It was another hot summer
When I came over and picked you up in my Chevy
You were lookin’ so fine, the apple of my eye 
With your short-shorts and long tan legs

We went swimming in the creek
Sipped on some White Claws
Checked you out all day
Then was lovin’ on you all night long 

And I think about how it all started out 
For you and me
Just replay the moments in my head 
And all the wonderful memories 

Chorus:

I wanna pick you up in my pickup truck
Make love all night long to our favorite song 
In the truck bed with the stars above 
Never knew it felt so good to pick you up…
I wanna pick you up

And I think about how it all started out
For you and me
Just replay the moments in my head 
And all the wonderful memories 

It was another hot summer 
When I came over and picked you up in my Chevy
You were lookin’ so fine, the apple of my eye 
With your short-shorts and long tan legs 

We went swimming in the creek
Sipped on some White Claws
Checked you out all day
Then was lovin’ on you all night long 

 Chorus:

I wanna pick you up in my pickup truck 
Make love all night long to our favorite song 
In the truck bed with the stars above 
Never knew it felt so good to pick you up…
I wanna pick you up 

I wanna pick you up in my pickup truck 
Make love all night long to our favorite song 
In the truck bed with the stars above 
Never knew it felt so good to pick you up…
I wanna pick you up

I’m gonna pick you up!
I’m gonna pick you up!
I’m gonna pick you up!
I’m gonna pick you up!

All our problems vanish in the morning (manana)

Lyrics:

It’s 7am and we still haven’t slept a wink
The sun on the rise 
Got that look in your eyes 
You know I love ya 
All the cares in the world 
Just don’t seem to matter in this moment 
So let’s cherish it all and let’s own it 

Chorus:

In manana, in manana
We don’t have problems in this moment 
In manana

We fought last night, let’s make it right 
Let me hold you 
Bottle of rum and tequila 
Will surely get in your feelings 
But I drink you up 
As we watch the sun this mornin’ 

Chorus:

In manana, in manana
We don’t have problems in this moment 
In manana
In manana, in manana
We don’t have problems in this moment 
In manana 

It’s 7am and we still haven’t slept a wink 
The sun on the rise 
Got that look in your eyes
You know I love ya 
All the cares in the world
Just don’t seem to matter in this moment 
So let’s cherish it all and let’s own it 

Chorus:

In manana, in manana
We don’t have problems in this moment 
In manana
In manana, in manana
We don’t have problems in this moment 
In manana

The burden carried after a breakup

Lyrics:

The cross I bear
The sins I wear
Some say I’m a sinner 
Some say I’m a saint 
Some call me full of shit
When I really ain’t 

Chorus:

But that’s the reality 
With the cross I bear, with the cross I bear

I think about you, do you think about me?
When you lie awake in bed at half past three?
Never gonna be the man you wanted me to be
Feels like it’s the blind leading the blind sometimes
Like I never ever opened my eyes 

Chorus:

But that’s the reality 
With the cross I bear, with the cross I bear 

Lost in a world full of confusion
Don’t get fooled by this illusion 
Feels like it’s not the man I’m supposed to be
Like it’s the blind leading the blind sometimes 

Chorus:

But that’s the reality 
With the cross I bear, with the cross I bear 
With the cross I bear, with the cross I bear

Cross I bear

A guy who’ll never be what a woman dreams of 

Lyrics:

We coulda had it all
But you’re just so hard to please 
My beer drinkin’ ways 
Can’t satisfy your champagne tastes 
Girls love diamonds and pearls
But Tiffany’s don’t exist in the country 
Always said to be handsome 
But maybe in a low class redneck way 

Chorus:

This handsome man’s gonna take you out
Show you off, take you home and lay you down…
But this handsome man will never be me
This handsome man will never be you and me 
This handsome man that you see, in your dreams…
Will never be me

I lay in bed all night with you in my dreams
Still hard to believe you don’t wanna be with me
But then I realize you want a handsome man
That’ll take you out, show ya off
Bring ya home, lay you down
Well this handsome man it’ll never be me

Chorus:

This handsome man’s gonna take you out 
Show you off, take you home and lay you down…
But this handsome man will never be me
This handsome man will never be you and me
This handsome man that you see, in your dreams…
Will never be me

This handsome man’s gonna take you out
Show you off, take you home and lay you down…
But this handsome man will never be me
This handsome man will never be you and me
This handsome man that you see, in your dreams…
Will never be me

This handsome man

Our own little fantasy (or reality)

Lyrics:

Wouldn’t it be nice to have our own little paradise?

Blonde girls, brunettes
Couple of…redheads
Muscle cars, tiki bars 
Got me seein’ stars

Chorus:

Wouldn’t it be nice to have our own little paradise?
Wouldn’t it be nice to have our own little paradise?

Lots of love, no fights 
Disconnected from reality bites

Oh how nice to have our own little slice of paradise 

85, no clouds 
Always play the music loud 

Chorus:

Wouldn’t it be nice to have our own little paradise?
Wouldn’t it be nice to have our own little paradise?

Jimmy Buffett singin’ songs 
And we’ll all sing along
Eatin’ cheeseburgers in paradise 
Mmm, wouldn’t that be nice?

Blonde girls, brunettes 
Couple of…redheads
Muscle cars, tiki bars
Got me seein’ stars 

Chorus:

Wouldn’t it be nice to have our own little paradise? 
Wouldn’t it be nice to have our own little paradise?
(I said) Wouldn’t it be nice to have our own little paradise?
Wouldn’t it be nice to have our own little paradise?

Pimpin’ down Main Street

Lyrics:

And I drive…
Down Main Street
In a dead summer heat…
Empty passenger seat 
Little girlies…
See my car 
Shiny…
Candy apple red 

Pushers on the Southside
Movers on the Westside 
Shakers on the Eastside 
And Northside, I stay away 

Chorus:

Everybody wants to go for a ride 
In my pimped-out, Mac-daddy, candy apple
Heavy Chevy tonight 
…and the pretty babies say, “ooh ooh ooh…ooh ooh ooh…ooh ooh ooh”

And I drive…
All the way down
To the other…
Side of town 
Girlie sittin’ next to me
And I see….
Some real undesirables
Starin’ back at me 

Pushers on the Southside
Movers on the Westside
Shakers on the Eastside
And Northside, I stay away 

Chorus:

Everybody wants to go for a ride 
In my pimped-out, Mac-daddy, candy apple
Heavy Chevy tonight 
…and the pretty babies say, “ooh ooh ooh…ooh ooh ooh…ooh ooh ooh”

And I drive…
Down Main Street
In a dead summer heat 
Empty passenger seat 
Little girlies…
See my car 
Shiny…
Candy apple red 

Chorus:

Everybody wants to go for a ride 
In my pimped-out, Mac-daddy, candy apple
Heavy Chevy tonight 
Everybody wants to go for a ride 
In my pimped-out, Mac-daddy, candy apple 
Heavy Chevy tonight
