    Pope, I am not even sure if it is a real song. All I know is when my Dad had a bit to much to drink he would start singing that song along with.......pick me up on your way down. LOL His favorite thing to call his friends .........Kracker ass. Go figure. He doesn't drink now but he was funny then.

    so many good songs posted here! and most i would consider anthems as well esp. closer to fine. that song helped me survive my life immediately after the borg.

    this one is from my childhood. i use to run around the house as a little girl singing from the top o' my lungs:

    Girls Just Want To Have Fun
    1979
    by Robert Hazard
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I come home in the morning light
    my mother says when you gonna live your life right
    oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
    and girls they want to have fun
    oh girls just want to have fun

    the phone rings in the middle of the night
    my father yells what you gonna do with your life
    oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
    but girls they want to have fun
    oh girls just want to have -

    that's all they really want
    some fun
    when the working day is done
    girls - they want to have fun
    oh girls just want to have fun

    some boys take a beautiful girl
    and hide her away from the rest of the world
    I want to be the one to walk in the sun
    oh girls they want to have fun
    oh girls just want to have -

    that's all they really want
    some fun
    when the working day is done
    girls - they want to have fun
    oh girls just want to have fun,
    they want to have fun,
    they want to have fun...

    love
    harmony

    Most people think, Great God will come from the skies, Take away everything And make everybody feel high. But if you know what life is worth, You will look for yours on earth: And now you see the light, You stand up for your rights.~~Bob Marley

    "Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum

    Call you up in the middle of the night
    Like a firefly without a light
    You were there like a blowtorch burning
    I was a key that could use a little turning
    So tired that I couldn't even sleep
    So many secrets I couldn't keep
    I promised myself I wouldn't weep
    One more promise I couldn't keep
    It seems no one can help me now,
    I'm in too deep, there's no way out
    This time I have really led myself astray
    Runaway train, never going back
    Wrong way on a one-way track
    Seems like I should be getting somewhere
    Somehow I'm neither here nor there
    Can you help me remember how to smile?
    Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
    How on earth did I get so jaded?
    Life's mystery seems so faded
    I can go where no one else can go
    I know what no one else's known
    Here I am just a-drownin' in the rain
    With a ticket for a runaway train
    And everything seems cut and dried,
    Day and night, earth and sky,
    Somehow I just don't believe it
    Runaway train, never going back
    Wrong way on a one-way track
    Seems like I should be getting somewhere
    Somehow I'm neither here nor there
    Bought a ticket for a runaway train
    Like a madman laughing at the rain
    A little out of touch, a little insane
    It's just easier than dealing with the pain
    Runaway train, never going back
    Wrong way on a one-way track
    Seems like I should be getting somewhere
    Somehow I'm neither here nor there
    Runaway train, never coming back
    Runaway train, tearing up the track
    Runaway train, burning in my veins
    I run away but it always seems the same

    closer

    This is my own personal anthem ... I wrote it about 4 years ago and so far it is coming true ... all except the cabin by a stream part .... Maybe one day ....

    This is my own personal anthem ... I wrote it about 4 years ago and so far it is coming true ... all except the cabin by a stream part .... Maybe one day ....

    If my life were perfect
    And I could live my dream
    I’d be writing music
    In a cabin near a stream
    My babies would surround me
    Humming my simple tunes
    And when the sun fell from the sky
    I’d share my moons with you

    I’d wake up each morning
    In our feather bed
    I’d feel your warmth beside me
    And hear your steady breath
    My heart would know the peace of
    A lover and a friend
    A though our love would grow and change
    It would never ever end

    My children would all grow up
    Strong and proud and free
    They would grow up knowing
    The best there was of me
    They would have the courage
    To make a better choice
    And never be afraid to
    Always trust that inner voice

    When My life is over
    And they carry me away
    I will leave some wisdom
    Behind me from the grave
    Its voice will be my music
    And the words my children speak
    Its message would be one of Love
    And the strength we find in peace
