Thursday Thirteen – 18th Edition – RoadTrip Music
Yeah, I know, these trip-related posts are getting old, but I can’t help it. I need something to calm and soothe my nerves. This is my way of doing that
So, this TT is about the perfect Road Trip Music, as least in my eyes
These songs aren’t in any special order, nor are they completely relevant to going on a road trip of any sort, but they fit me, and how I want to travel
Thank god the kids have their portable DVD players with separate headphones (we now have like 8 sets of headphones that can be used,
), so that I can listen to whatever I want to

And to continue the tradition, a song I’m obsessed with But she came home with tear-filled eyes, Well I just brushed it off at first, and she said… “Alyssa lies to the classroom, My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep. Because Alyssa lies to the classroom, (bridge) I had the worst night of sleep in years My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad ‘Cause she doesn’t lie in the classroom Tears filled my eyes when my little girl asked me why
Alyssa Lies
Jason Michael Carrol
just the other day,
on the playground at school
between the tires and the swings
and she said to me “Daddy, Alyssa lies”
’cause I didn’t know how much my little girl had been hurt
or the things she had seen.
I wasn’t ready when I said “You can tell me”
Alyssa lies everyday at school,
Alyssa lies to the teachers
as she tries to cover every bruise”
As I stepped out the room, I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet
“God bless my mom and my Dad
and my new friend, Alyssa
*oh*I know she needs you bad
Alyssa lies everyday at school,
Alyssa lies to the teachers
as she tries to cover every bruise”
as I tried to think of a way to calm her fears
I knew just what it was I had to do *I knew exactly what I had to do*
but when we got to school on Monday I heard the news
the lump in my throat grew bigger
with every question that she asked.
Until I felt the tears run down my face
and I told her that Alyssa wouldn’t be at school today
she doesn’t lie anymore at school
Alyssa lies with Jesus
because there’s nothin’ anyone would do
Alyssa lies
*Oh Daddy, oh* Daddy tell me why
Alyssa lies
This is one song not to play on a road trip, or you’re guaranteed to crash because you can’t see.
