When They're Gone (Lyle County) Lyrics

Look at that worn out rusty engine
Sitting there begging for a spark
Don't look like much in that condition
But there was a time you should've seen her run
Down every back road in Lyle County
Under every streetlight up on Main
You sitting there drumming on a dashboard
Both of us falling like a fickle rain

We were
Cooler than December, hotter than July
Young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone, so come on

She had hair tangled as the kudzu
Legs as long as the trails that cut through
Those back acres to the river bend
She had her daddy's temper and her momma's flair
Made people talk but did not care
Try anything once ain't scared of nothing

Yeah, we were
Cooler than December, hotter than July
Young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone, so come on
Come on
Don't mean you forget 'em

I still ride down those old roads
Even if it's in my mind
Tight blue jeans and winding curves
Keep me turning on a dime, yeah, just like the time

When we were
Cooler than December, hotter than July
Young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone

Oh, we were
Cooler than December, hotter than July
Young and strong
Some things aren't meant to last forever
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone, so come on
Come on
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone

So come on, come on
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
So come on, come on
So come on, come on

When They're Gone (Lyle County)

This Brett Eldredge and Scooter Carusoe penned song is about remembering your first love, something Nail says isn't always a bad thing. "Your first love is such a huge part of your life and sets the tone for relationships in the future and how you go about them and your life in general," he told Radio.com . "I don't think it's a negative thing or a bad thing to reflect back on those times and think fondly of them."

The song features harmonies from Nail's past tour mates Little Big Town . "I knew that there was something missing from our version," said Nail on The Boot website. "I just felt like this could be a Little Big Town song, and it very much became that. I tell people all the time, 'It's a Little Big Town song that I just happen to sing on.' Which is the neatest thing in the world, because now I feel like I've sang on a Little Big Town record."

So Long, Astoria Lyrics

So Long, Astoria

Astoria is the town from the 1985 movie Goonies. In the film, a bunch of kids find a treasure map and set out to find the booty. Hijinks ensue as a group of criminals join the search. The line, "This is my wish and I'm taking it back, I'm taking 'em all back" is from the movie.

Lead singer Kris Roe used childhood memories as inspiration: "I'd take all these Polaroids of where I grew up. I went back and stole back these memories that were once mine by taking all these Polaroids. At this point in my life and career, I can't very well go back to the house where I used to live and say to the people that live there now, 'Can I sit in my old bedroom?' But I could take photographs in the window. I tried to do anything I could to make this record more vivid and detailed, even going to stalker limits." (thanks, Sarah - York, ME, for above 2)

Pretty Girls Lyrics

There ain't much to do here in this town
When the work is done and the sun goes down
There's a place that we all go
Where it's two for one just to watch the show
Yeah, me and the boys hangin' around
Hands in our pockets, gettin' lost in the crowd

Watchin' Pretty Girls drinkin' tall boys
Swingin' their hips to a country song
Silver cans up in the air
They're singin' along, singing' along
Ain't nothin' like gettin' right
Chasing a buzz with a cold Bud Light
Watchin' pretty girls drinkin' tall boys
Pretty girls drinkin' tall boys
Yeah

Yeah you oughta see them in summer time
They can't wait to show off those tan lines
Out at a cove that we all know
Where it's string bikinis and tied up boats
Out in the sun all gettin' baked
Me and the boys kickin' back in our shades

Watchin' pretty girls drinkin' tall boys
Swingin' their hips to a country song
Silver cans up in the air
They're singing' along, singin' along
Ain't nothin' like gettin' right
Chasing a buzz with a cold Bud Light
Watchin' pretty girls drinkin' tall boys
Pretty girls drinkin' tall boys
Yeah

Call me lazy, drunk, or crazy
But I ain't ever gonna move
Nah, cause you can't beat this view

Pretty girls drinkin' tall boys
Pretty girls drinkin' tall boys
Pretty girls drinkin' tall boys
Ya got my mind thinkin'
'Bout pretty girls drinkin'

Pretty girls drinkin' tall boys
Swingin' their hips to a country song
Silver cans up in the air
They're singin' along, singin' along
Ain't nothin' like gettin' right
Chasing a buzz with a cold Bud Light
Watchin' pretty girls drinkin' tall boys
Pretty girls drinkin' tall boys
Pretty girls drinkin' tall boys
Pretty girls drinkin' tall boys

Pretty girls drinkin', pretty girls drinkin'
Pretty girls drinkin' tall boys
Got my mind thinkin'
'Bout pretty girls drinkin'
Swingin' their hips to a country song

Pretty Girls

Many of the tunes chosen for Riser reflect Bentley's resilience and determination following the death of his father. However, he also included several lighter songs on the set, to reflect his love of having a good time. Bentley said of this track: "I feel like that song is taking a new approach to get to the same destination. We're all having a good time, partying and having fun, but just the vibe of that is so different from anything I've ever recorded."

"So there's that element of it, and then there's kind of a third layer to the album, which would be songs like 'I Hold On,' 'Riser,' 'Here on Earth,' that really kind of show where I am in my life as a dude, as a man, as a husband, father," Bentley continued. "Just kinda looking at the world around me, and making observations on that."

Crush 'Em Lyrics

Enter the arena and hit the lights
Step up now you're in for a ride
This is war, ain't no fun and games
We get it up, you go down in flames
Party time, going down
You better not mess us around
The stakes are rich, take a hit or stay
The price is high, someone's gonna pay

Heads I win, tails you lose
Out of my way I'm coming through
Roll the dice don't think twice
And we crush, crush'em

Looking for trouble, now you've found it
You're a drum and we're gonna pound it
Last one standing wins the fight
Hear us scream and shout all night
Down on the floor and eat the grit
This is gonna hurt a little bit
Heads I win, tails you lose
Out of my way I'm coming through
Roll the dice don't think twice
And we crush, Crush'em
Now we lay you down to rest
You'll never be more than second best
Step inside you're in for a ride
And we crush, crush'em

Crush, crush, crush
Don't need reason, don't want names
Just a John Doe to put to shame
Step aside let me explain
The name of the game is pain
Now we've found you
We're gonna pound you
We're gonna beat you
Gonna defeat you
We're gonna bust you
We're gonna crush you
We're gonna crush'em

Heads I win, tails you lose
Out of my way I'm coming through
Roll the dice don't think twice
And we crush, crush'em
Now we lay you down to rest
You'll never be more than second best
Step inside you're in for a ride
And we crush, crush'em

Crush, crush, crush, crush'em
Crush, crush, crush, crush'em
Crush, crush, crush, crush'em
Crush, crush, crush, crush'em

Crush, crush, crush, crush'em
Crush, crush, crush, crush'em

Crush 'Em

Dave Mustaine wrote this as a sports anthem. He's a huge fan of the Arizona Coyotes hockey team (at the time called the Phoenix Coyotes), and couldn't stand hearing Gary Glitter's "Rock And Roll Part 2" every time they scored a goal. He thought he could do better, so he wrote "Crush 'Em." (thanks, Dae - Paraparaumu, New Zealand)

The song first appeared on the soundtrack to the action film Universal Soldier: The Return before becoming the lead off single to Megadeth's 1999 Risk album.

Mustaine admitted to Noisecreep in a 2013 interview that this is a Megadeth song he isn't "that fond" of. "Probably the dumbest song Megadeth ever did was 'Crush 'Em.' Not that I hate it, because we've never released something that I didn't like musically, but I'm not that fond of it," he said.

"We had huge success with our prior album [1997's Cryptic Writings] big singles and all of that," he continued. "That had never happened before. So we figured, why not give the label and our management more to work with next time out since the last one did so well on radio. That was a huge mistake.

"I remember the day our manager at the time [the late Bud Prager] came to my house and he goes, 'I got an idea. Two words: crush 'em.' The silence was deafening. Look, I wanted to write a hockey song cause I was sick of [convicted sex offender] Gary Glitter's song ['Rock and Roll] being played in all the arenas. I'm a hockey season ticket holder and this is a family sport. I didn't want that guy's song anymore. I wanted to write something better. So I wrote the riff and then I see Bud's lyrics and I think to myself, 'This isn't what I was thinking.' So yeah, it didn't work."

A "jock mix" remixed by Anthony J. Resta was released in 2000 on Megadeth's Breadline EP.

Hurt Somebody Lyrics

Well, you ain't that old but you ain't that young
You've lived a life but you ain't quite done
All eyes on you everywhere you go
It's all good till you get too close

Girl, you're gonna Hurt Somebody
Make somebody bleed
Girl, you're gonna hurt somebody
God, I hope it's me

There's an innocence there this time of night
Is it in your words, is it in your eyes?
And your red lipstick like a smoking gun
It could be aimed at anyone

Girl, you're gonna hurt somebody
Make somebody bleed
Girl, you're gonna hurt somebody
And God, I hope it's me

There's a simple truth to the morning sun
Things don't change, they just light up
With a frontier mind and a restless heart
Girl, you can't change the way you are

Yeah, you're gonna hurt somebody
Make somebody bleed
Girl, you're gonna hurt somebody
God, I hope it's me

Yeah, you're gonna hurt somebody
Make somebody bleed
Yeah, you're gonna hurt somebody
And God, I hope it's me

Hurt Somebody

This tormented love song was written by Shane McAnally, Mark Nesler and Matt Fleener. Though Bentley did write six of the twelve tracks on Riser, he was more open to outside material than ever before. "I think in the past, I thought I was listening for outside songs, but I realize after going through this project that I haven't," the singer said at the album's listening party. " I wrote with a lot of people, I wrote with Shane McAnally a bunch, but I never wrote anything that beat what he pitched to me. I think it all kind of gelled together."

A Tout Le Monde Lyrics

Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans tonight
So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all
A Tout Le Monde
A tout les amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say
Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred

A Tout Le Monde

This song is often misinterpreted to be about suicide, as the lyrics can be heard as a suicide note.

On September 13, 2006, Kimveer Gill went on a shooting rampage at Dawson College in Montreal, eventually shooting himself. He was a fan of Megadeth and mentioned this song on his blog, which prompted Dave Mustaine, who wrote the song, to make this statement the next day: "Like everyone else, I am horrified and disgusted by the tragic events of yesterday. We will pray for everyone who has been hurt, and all the families that are suffering. 'A Tout Le Monde' is based on a dream I had, where my mother came back from heaven to say 'I love you.' It's about me talking to her again."

Mustaine: "We don't write music that has any kind of suggestion about taking one's life. It is more like, 'Hey, we have a problem, let's be part of the solution.'"

MTV banned the video because they thought it promoted suicide. They did show it after some special comments were added, explaining how many kids commit suicide every year in the US. This message appeared at the end of the video: "Suicide is not an answer. Get help." The woman and child in the video are Mustaine's wife Pam and son, Justis. (thanks, Dae - Paraparaumu, New Zealand, for all above)

Part of the chorus is in French. The translation: "To all the world, To all my friends, I love you, I have to leave." (thanks, Nia - Mesa, AZ)

Let's Do Something Tonight Lyrics

If you're looking for a reason not to call it a night, I got one
I want to get you right up to where you're feeling alright and then some
I want to take this conversation out of this neon situation
Instead of us not saying what we're both thinking and I'm thinking

Let's Do Something Tonight
We'll be talking about in the morning, in the morning, in the morning

Let's do something tonight
We'll be talking about in the morning, in the morning, in the morning

We can find a little song we ain't ever heard and sing it
Pour a little glass of something smooth and strong and drink it
We can lose all track of time, my eyes on yours and yours on mine
Before the fear of falling starts to sink in, I'm thinking

Let's do something tonight
We'll be talking about in the morning, in the morning, in the morning

Let's do something tonight
We'll be talking about in the morning, in the morning, in the morning

Girl we could do it all night long,
Say the word and we'll be gone
We can do anything you ever wanted

Let's do something tonight, tonight
Let's do something tonight
We'll be talking about in the morning, in the morning, in the morning

Let's do something tonight
We'll be talking about in the morning, in the morning, in the morning

Tonight, tonight

Let's Do Something Tonight

This Jimmy Robbins, David Lee Murphy and Jon Nite penned ballad is about spontaneity in a relationship. "'Let's Do Something Tonight" is that 'I'm ready to do something dangerous' song, lead singer Mike Eli told Rolling Stone. "I think maybe that's why we love it so much. It felt like that Friday night anthem that our band has never really had and this song accomplishes that without being cliché."

"We knew we had to record this tune from day one of making this album," he added. "A simple idea but not treading water in that boring, been there/done that territory."

Born In A Burial Gown Lyrics

Sibilant and macabre
Walpurgis sauntered in
Skies litten with five-pointed stars
The work of crafts surpassing sin
As She graced Her window ledge
An orphaned gypsy nymph
This issue of the forest's bed
Skin flushed with sipped absinthe
Her eyes revealed, as Brocken's peak
Tried once concealing Hell
A snow white line of divine freaks
In riot, where they fell

The circus lurches in, a ring of promised delight
For seven days and seven festival nights
What wicked wonders lie within the confines
Of the panther's den

She watches from a maypole, on the rip of Her tongue
The restless spirit of Christmas to come
A Gretel sick of merely sucking Her thumb
Than gingerbread men

Spawned scorned, abhorred by the aerial
She was the light of the world going down
War-torn, forlorn and malarial
She was found
Born In A Burial Gown

Unloosed, the chain of Her god-given cross
Seduced, now pagan ribbons swathe Her repose
In a carnival of souls sold and similarly lost

Too many decades misfit and mislaid
In innocence, a tender legend of prey
Parades Her second coming, now they're running afraid

Spawned scorned, abhorred by the aerial
She was the light of the world going down
War-torn, forlorn and malarial
She was found
Born in a burial gown

Now She moves with a predator's guile
Beyond the fire lit circle of life
She soothes your cold heart for a while
Then matches its beat, syncing in with a knife
She wrestles Her dreams with a delicate case
Espied by Her cross on the wall
And should She awake, through embrace or mistake
She would take Jesus
Bless foot forward and all

Sibilant and at last
The circus crawled away
With another lover in its arms
Dancing on Her grave

10,000 Towns Lyrics

10,000 Towns

The title of Eli Young Band's fifth album was inspired by the group's days on the road, seeing cities big and small. "There's a general theme between small town America where every town is different, but in some ways, they are the same," said guitarist James Young. "We felt like the title encapsulated the best years of us driving all over the country playing music."

Vocalist Mike Eli added: "We've traveled all over the country and to other countries, but at the end of the day we all party the same way no matter what the culture or the town. To us, '10,000 Towns' is a great way to sum up this record in that way as well as who we are. We love traveling around the country and seeing all that and being a band of road dogs."

Even though they didn't write the track (it was penned by Rodney Clawson, Chris Tompkins, Craig Wiseman), it's clear the song resonated strongly enough with the band for them to choose it as the album title as well. "It kind of goes back to who we are as a band," bassist Jones explained to Radio.com . "And as a family, [one] that has seen that many towns and had those experiences."

Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah
Here I am at Camp Grenada
Camp is very entertaining
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining

I went hiking with Joe Spivey
He developed poison ivy
You remember Leonard Skinner
He got Ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner

All the counsellors hate the waiters
And the lake has alligators
And the head coach wants no sissies
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses

Now I don't want this should scare ya'
But my bunkmate has Malaria
You remember Jeffery Hardy
They're about to organize a searching party

Take me home, oh Muddah, Faddah
Take me home, I hate Grenada
Don't leave me out in the forest where
I might get eaten by a bear

Take me home, I promise I will
Not make noise, or mess the house with
Other boys, oh please don't make me stay
I've been here one whole day

Dearest Fadduh, Darling Muddah
How's my precious little bruddah
Let me come home if you miss me
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me

Wait a minute, it's stopped hailing
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing
Playing baseball, gee that's bettah

Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah

The music is based on the 1876 Ponchielli opera "Dance Of The Hours."Sherman wrote the lyrics, which are a comical letter from a boy at camp.

Sherman was a writer on The Steve Allen Show and created the game show I've Got a Secret. He went on to record comedy albums. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England)

This was used in commercials for Downy fabric softener. The letter from camp explained how he missed home because the pillow cases weren't washed in Downy.

This played at the end of the 1993 movie Indian Summer while Stick Coder (Sam Raimi) sat looking at the camera and the credits ran. The movie is about adults returning to a camp "Tamakwa" they attended as kids. The movie stars Matt Craven, who also played a camp counselor in training (CIT) in the 1979 movie Meatballs, which is also about camp. (thanks, Mike - Mountlake Terrace, Washington)

All systems are go

And the story goes, a young man will come and
Save the universe from the forces of evil

Take a second to adjust to the ride
They say if this was a crime, it'd be federal
Lately I've been feelin' invincible
As I'm tryna find my way can't nothing hold me though
I say, get a clue, the vibes all around you
Try but you can't deny when its in your soul
Lets take it where there aren't any roads
Where these sucka hatin' niggas can't follow

Take it to the satellite, tonight
Take flight to the moon
Come get in my space whip!
To the satellite, tonight
Take flight to the moon
Take a ride!

No worries

Come on don't be shy
Let your guard down and work it
Do just what you want
Anything you choose
I tell ya, there's no way we could lose
Have you ever seen the Earth from this view?
I bet not

Take it to the satellite, tonight
Take flight to the moon
Come get in my space whip!
To the satellite, tonight
Take flight to the moon
Take a ride!

Take a ride!

And now, the vibes
Heavy little thoughts get jumbled in a bundle
And they're tucked deep down in the back of my brain
Heavy little thoughts get jumbled in a bundle
And they're tucked deep down in the back of my brain
Heavy little thoughts get jumbled in a bundle
And they're tucked deep down in the back of my brain
All is life and all is pain
Down the hallway of my endless fate

Take it to the satellite, tonight
Take flight to the moon
Come get in my space whip!
To the satellite, tonight
Take flight to the moon
Take a ride!

Take it to the satellite, tonight
Take flight to the moon
Come get in my space whip!
To the satellite, tonight
Take flight to the moon
Take a ride!

Come on

Satellite Flight

Kid Cudi's fourth album, Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon, originally started as an EP in October 2013. "It was supposed to be this mini little thing for the fans and it ended up forming a life of its own," Cudi told MTV News.

The rapper added that the record acts as a bridge between his previous full-length project and the third chapter in his Man on the Moon series. "It starts where Indicud left off perfectly, and takes you right into MOTM III," Cudi said. "It's like a TV show that ends with that cliffhanger. The album ends that way, where you get that one song and before you know it, the song is over and the album is over, but there's a 'to be continued...' There's more to the story."

This is the title track to the album. It was originally debuted December 16, 2013 by Cudi on his SoundCloud page.

The song samples "Coronado II," a track from Polaris' 1999 album Music from the Adventures of Pete & Pete. The record contains a dozen songs composed by the band for the cult Nickelodeon television series, The Adventures of Pete & Pete.

Cudi said referring to the first line of the hook: "'Take it to the satellite' means think beyond what you know, look beyond what you can see, feel beyond what you can touch. The vibes."

Runaway Train Lyrics

There's a hungry road I can only hope's
Gonna eat me up inside
There's a drifting spirit coming clean
In the eye of a lifelong fire
Tell Monday I'll be around next week
I'm running ahead of my days
In the shotgun chance that scattered us
I've seen the error of my ways

Well we've wrapped ourselves in golden crowns
Like sun gods spitting rain
Found a way home written on this map
Like red dye in my veins
In the hardest times that come around
The fear of losing grows
I've lost and seen the world shut down
It's a darkness no one knows

And I've poured out the pleasure and dealt with the pain
Standing in a station waiting in the rain
I'm starting to feel a little muscle again
But love is lost like a Runaway Train
Oh I'm out of control and out of my hands
I'm tearing like a demon through no man's land
Trying to get a grip on my life again
Nothing hits harder than a runaway train
