Open Mic Night Lyrics - November 13, 2024
“Life is a Highway” - Tom Cochrane
A love's like a road that you travel alone, 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 or break down the garden gate
Ah, there's not much time left today (ooh)
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long
Through all these cities and all these towns it's in my blood and it's all around
I loved you now like I loved you then, this is a road and these are the head
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights, the Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
Knock me down, I'm back up again, you're in my blood, I'm not a lonely man
There's no road 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 wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long
Mm, life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long
Gimme-gimme-gimme-gimme, yeah
If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long
Oh, there was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once, but now we look it in the eye
Oh!
Mmm
There ain't no load that I can't hold, 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 wanna ride it all night long
(Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah)
If you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long
(Yeah-yeah) a-gimme-gimme-gimme-gimme, yeah (c'mon)
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long
Mm, if you're going my way I wanna drive it all night long
A-gimme-gimme-gimme-gimme, yeah
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long
(Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah)
If you're going my way I wanna drive ya all night long
(Ahh) a-gimme-gimme-gimme-gimme, yeah (yeah!)
“Keep Your Eyes Wide Open” - from “Bridge to Terabithia”
Have you ever seen the sky so beautiul, colorful, wide and wonderful?
Have you ever felt the sun shine so briliantly, raining down over you and me?
Have you ever wanted more?
(wanted more)
You've got to keep your mind wide open
All the possibilities
You've got to live with your eyes open
Believe in what you see
Think of all the days you've wasted worry, wondering, hopelessly hoping
Think of all the time ahead; don't hesitate; contemplate; no, it's not too late
Have you ever wanted more?
Don't you know there's so much more?
You've got to keep your mind wide open
All the possibilities
You've got to live with your eyes open
Believe in what you see
Tomorrow's horizons
Full of suprises
Don't let them chase your dreams away
You've got to keep your mind wide open
All the possibilities
You've got to live with your eyes open
Believe in what you see
You've got to keep your mind wide open
All the possibilities
You've got to live with your eyes open
Believe in what you see
(you've got to keep your mind open)
Believe in what you see
(you've got to live with your eyes open)
Believe in what you see
“This Is How We Do It” - Montell Williams
This is how we do it
(This is how we do it)
(This is how we do it)
This is how we do it
It's Friday night and I feel all right
The party is here on the West side
So I reach for my 40 and I turn it up
Designated driver take the keys to my truck
Hit the shore 'cause I'm faded
Honey's in the street say, Monty, yo we made it
It feels so good in my hood tonight
The summertime skirts and my guys in Kani
All the gang bangers forgot about the drive-by
You gotta get your groove on before you go get paid
So tip up your cup and throw your hands up
And let me hear the party say
I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
To all my neighbors, you got much flavor
(This is how we do it)
Let's flip the track, bring the old school back
(This is how we do it)
This is how we do it, all hands are in the air
And wave them from here to there
If you're an OG mack or a wanna-be player
You see the hood's been good to me
Ever since I was a lower case G
But now I'm a big G
The girls see I got the money
Hundred dollar bills, y'all
If you were from where I'm from
Then you would know
That I gotta get mine in a big black truck
You can get yours in a '64
Whatever it is, the party's underway
So tip up your cup and throw your hands up
And let me hear the party say
I'm kinda buzzed, it's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
To all my neighbors, you got much flavor
(This is how we do it)
Let's flip the track, bring the old school back
(This is how we do it)
I'm kinda buzzed, it's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does, nobody does
(This is how we do it)
YNV, SCC
(This is how we do it) All my homies
I'll never come wack on an old school track
(This is how we do it)
Check it out
Once upon a time in '94
Montell made no money and life sure was slow
And all they said was 6'8 he stood
And people thought the music that he made was good
There lived a DJ and Paul was his name
He came up to Monty, this is what he said
You and OG are gonna make some cash
Sell a million records and we're making the dash
Oh, I'm buzzing because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
To all my neighbors, you got much flavor
(This is how we do it)
I'll never come wack on an old school track
(This is how we do it)
I'm kinda buzzed, it's all because
(This is how we do it)
South Central does it like nobody does, nobody does
(This is how we do it)
Oh, it's party time
(This is how we do it)
Straight up coming from the west side
(This is how we do it)
Oh, she's got the flavor, yeah
(This is how we do it)
And Monty does it like nobody does
(This is how we do it)
Come on now, Def Jam
You know that this is how we do it
This is how we do it
Yo Montell, this Percy, man, the barber, your barber
Man, I'm sitting up here listening to your tape, dude
And this shit is on, man
You gon' make it, fool
Keep on doing what you doing, man
My phone number is area code 909, 0, 80
Gimme a call, man
We getting ready to step out to the Fox Hills Mall right now, but uh
It's Monday morning about a quarter to eleven, peace
“How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)” - Marvin Gaye
Ooh, you say you're feelin' nervous
The least thing makes you cry
Sounds like a real bad case of a girl who needs a guy
I think I know the perfect jewel
The one you ought to try
Take a heart that's full of love, on this you can rely
And if you need some quick reaction, take this heart of mine
And if you need some satisfaction, take this heart of mine
And if you're tired of being lonely, take this heart of mine
I think I can help you if you'll only take this heart of mine
I may not be a doctor who can cure your ills
Goodbye to all those different drugs and hard-to-swallow pills
My remedy is older than the tale of Jack and Jill
My prescription is the kind you love to have refilled
If you need some satisfaction, take this heart of mine
If you need some quick reaction, take this heart of mine
Baby, if you're tired of being lonely, take this heart of mine
Honey, I can help you if you'll only take this heart of mine
Got a lovin' side (this heart of mine)
That's pure as gold (this heart of mine)
Take it, it's yours (this heart of mine)
Have and to hold (this heart of mine)
And if you do that, baby (this heart of mine)
After we grow old (this heart of mine)
We'll have the greatest love story (this heart of mine)
That was ever told (this heart of mine)
Oh, baby (greatest story that was ever told)
Oh, medicine won't cure you
Just relieve you at the most
But relief is only temporary, pretty soon it'll go
But love can last a lifetime
When two hearts are close
Take as much as you want to, there is no overdose
If you need some quick reaction, take this heart of mine
Baby, if you need some satisfaction, take this heart of mine
If you're tired of being lonely, take this heart of mine
I can help you if you'll only take this heart of mine, take it, baby
“Tomorrow” - from “Annie”
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow there'll be sun
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs
And the sorrow 'til there's none
When I'm stuck with a day
That's gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin
And grin and say, oh
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow come what may
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always, a day away
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow come what may
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always, a day away
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always, a day away

“Yellow” - Coldplay
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called "Yellow"
So then I took my turn
Oh, what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow
your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
(Ooh) turn into something beautiful
(Oh) and you know, you know I love you so
You know I love you so
I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh, what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow
I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh, what a thing to do
And it was all yellow
and your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
(Ooh) turn into something beautiful
(Oh) and you know, for you, I'd bleed myself dry
For you, I'd bleed myself dry
It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do
“We Are The Champions” - Queen
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before
the human race
And I ain't gonna lose
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World
