You Can't Always Get What you want
originally by The rolling Stones
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need

We went down to the demonstration
To get your fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
Well I make it alright
From Monday morning 'til Friday night
Oooh, those lonely weekends

Since you left me
I've been as lonely as a I can be
Oooh, those lonely weekends

(Chorus)
Said you'd be good to me
Said our love would never die
Said you'd be good to me
But, baby, you didn't even try

Well I make it alright
From Monday morning 'til Friday night
Oooh, those lonely weekends

(Chorus)

Well I make it alright
From Monday morning 'til Friday night
Oooh, those lonely weekends

(Chorus)

Well I make it alright
From Monday morning 'til Friday night
Oooh, those lonely weekends
Oooh, those lonely weekends
Oooh, those lonely weekends
Oooh, those lonely weekends...
Lonely Weekends

Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys
by Willie Nelson written by Ed and Patsy Bruce
Chorus:
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let them pick guitars and drive in old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
And they'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
Lone Star belt buckles and old faded Levis
And each night begins a new day
And if you don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probably just ride away

(Repeat chorus)

A cowboy loves smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do
Sometimes won't know how to take him
He's not wrong he's just different and his pride won't let him
Do things to make you think he's right

(Repeat chorus...)
