ATF: True Devotion

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Drive

The Cars

Who's gonna tell you when

It's too late

Who's gonna tell you things

Aren't so great

You can't go on

Thinkin’

Nothing's wrong

Who's gonna drive you home

Tonight

Who's gonna pick you up

When you fall

Who's gonna hang it up

When you call

Who's gonna pay attention

To your dreams

Who's gonna plug their ears

When you scream

You can't go on

Thinkin’

Nothing's wrong

Who's gonna drive you home

Tonight

Who's gonna hold you down

When you shake

Who's gonna come around

When you break

You can't go on

Thinkin’

Nothing's wrong

Who's gonna drive you home

Tonight

Oh

No you can't go on

Thinkin’

Nothing's wrong

Who's gonna drive you home

Tonight

Let Her Cry

Hootie & The Blowfish

She sits alone by a lamppost

Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind

She says Dad's the one I love the most

But Stipe's not far behind

She never lets me in

Only tell me where's she's been

When she's had too much to drink

I say that I don't care

I just run my hands through her dark hair

Then I pray to God

You gotta help me fly away

And just

Let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go

Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Let her be

This morning I woke up alone

Found a note standing by the phone

Saying baby

Maybe I'll be back some day

I wanted to look for you

You walked in

I didn't know just what I should do

So I sat back down

And had a beer

And felt sorry for myself

Saying

Let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go

Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Oh oh

Last night I tried to leave

She cried so much I just could not believe

She was the same girl

I fell in love with long ago

She went in the back to get high

I sat down on my couch and cried

Yelling

Oh mama

Please help me

Won't you hold my hand

Let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go

Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Let her cry

If the tears fall down like rain

Let her sing

If it eases all her pain

Let her go

Let her walk right out on me

And if the sun comes up tomorrow

Let her be

Oh

Let her be
