Who Let You In
Chorus
(Where’d you) |come from
Where you |been
how’d you| get here
Who let you in
didn’t Tell you I never want to see you again |
where’d you come from where you been
who let you in
V1
Well I’m sad about the good times ,and
babe we’ve had a few |
Guitars at the café bar, we played a scene or two
But I’m still mad as| hell a-bout the |
times you weren’t around
Cheatin at the honky tonk with every skank in town
Chorus:
Where’d you
come from
Where you been
how’d you get here
Who let you in
did n’t I
Tell you I never want to
see you again |
where’d you come from
where you been who let you in |
Solo: Verse
It’s great to see you look so bad I see you’ve got the blues
And you come crawling back here Cause there’s no one left to use
You see your clothes and DVD’s your games out on the lawn
And now I’m glad to see your face To tell you that you’re gone
Chorus
Solo: Banjo 1st half, everyone 2nd half

Runnin’ on Empty (Jen Gilbert)
Intro:
1.Runnin’ on empty, tryta make it to the station
Fill up my gas tank, and head home to you | |
2. Helpless and hopeful hyped up on Blues
Runnin’ on empty and I’m runnin’ home to you | |
3.Headin’ down that highway lookin’ for a sign
So I can make it to the pump and then make it home on time (no extra bar)
4.Foot’s on the pedal but the light on the dash
Is tellin’ me I don’t have the gas to make my journey last
Bridge
Went to the doctor, she listened to my heart
Said you are confused, girl, don’t even try to start
Time to pull over, do some work on yourself
Before you will be ready, to love someone else, my darlin’
5.Baby I don’t know, if I can make this go, I am
Runnin’ on empty but I’ll try to make it home
Solo: (Verse pattern)

Hotel Motel
Harvey Lemon & Patricia Reynolds (SOCAN)
Chorus
Hotel Motel, Bar Alcazar
Hotel Motel, come as you are
Monique stop your dancin’
I can’t take any more.
1. If topless and smiling were not enough, and 18 years, not your only bluff
If pennies were nickels and nickels were dimes
Quarters were feelings that come with good time
They’d at least give those quarters for the juke box you play
Stead of saving them up for their own rainy day.
CHORUS
2. Are they the remains of your used to be world
Those hand me down haircombs of mother of pearl
They’re sure to believe you the postcards you send
Of big Friday paychecks and Saturday friends
And the wind is still blowing the snow to the ground
And the crowd’s getting bolder, coming closer around.
CHORUS
3. Dear Monique so far from a farm girl’s sweet dreams
Of boyfriends and drive-ins and patches on jeans
They couldn’t touch you or ask you to stay
Like here in the bar room they do everyday
And the pale lights grow colder and cover your skin
But small towns and free rounds don’t care where you’ve been
CHORUS

Young Women to Old (Carmel Whittle)
1. Early morn comes she gets up in the dark
Lines on her face with the light becomes stark
Wind beaten faces the women are tired
Their hair’s turnin grey as they kindle the fire |and it’s
CHORUS:
Heave ho, out goes the line Up goes the sail as we leave it behind (and it’s)
Heave ho, out goes the line Up goes the sail as we leave it behind
2. Hands that grow gnarled with the winter’s cruel cold
As they hang out the washing young women to old
Bread, ten loaves baking to fill empty space
The house slow to warm as the worried ones pace
CHORUS:
Heave ho, out goes the line Up goes the sail as we leave it behind (and it’s)
Heave ho, out goes the line Up goes the sail as we leave it behind
Solo: 16 bars 8 bars guitar riff
8 bars guitar riff
3.The sea she has owned us for all of our lives
Treated us well with her abundant supplies
But man’s sense of progress, the greed and the blindness
Have left empty waters of promise behind us
4.The time it has come for all women to stand
In our kitchens, on decks and on the land
Waiting no more with tears in our eyes
Waving our sons and our daughters goodbye
CHORUS:
Heave ho, out goes the line Up goes the sail as we leave it behind (and it’s)
Heave ho, out goes the line Up goes the sail as we leave it behind
CHORUS:
Heave ho, out goes the line Up goes the sail as we leave it behind (and it’s)
Heave ho, out goes the line Up goes the sail as we leave it behind)
