Hopefully this will be fun and interesting.

Remember a line from a song? Any song? Doesn't have to be a favorite. Maybe something you heard at a special time or something you heard over and over again until you got sick of it. Don't have to name the artist. Part of the fun will be guessing or remembering the song and the artist.

Here's a few of mine:

"Sundown you better take care if I find you been creepin round my back stairs"

"And I carry it with me like my daddy did"

"When you comin son, I don't know when"

"How long has this been going on?"

toby keith sundown
jim croce i gotta name
ugly kid joe cat's in the cradle(or harry chapin...lol)
not recognizing the last one

First one was Gordon Lightfoot. "Sundown".
Second one Something like "Movin' me down the Highway".
Third "Cat's in the cradle", Harry Chapin.
Fourth one is the title of the song, but can't remember the artist.
Jim

No. Don't guess mine. Post YOUR favorites.

here's mine...
Lips that are weary but tender
With love that strengthens my life
A saint in a dress made of gingham

I know the third one on your list. First and last are familiar, too, but I can't place them exactly.
So can I add a couple?

"Sleepin' 'til the crack of noon Midnight howlin' at the moon"

"I talk to the wind and my words are all carried away"

Second, Jim Croce "I Got A name"
Fourth, Ace "How Long"

i can never remember gordon lightfoot's name...i was always happy that toby keith remade the song so i could at least put a name with it...lol

I was caught in the middle of a railroad track
I looked 'round, and I knew there was no turning back
My mind raced, and I thought what could I do?
And I knew there was no help, no help from you

He stood there watching
in the aisle,
while his .45
told them goodbye.




She came onto him like a slow movin' cold front
His beer was warmer than the look in her eyes
She sat on a stool, he said, "What do you want?"
She said, "Give me a love that don't freeze up inside."
He said, "I have melted some hearts in my time dear
But to sit next to you, Lord, I shiver and shake
And if I knew love, well, I don't think I'd be here
Askin' myself if I've got what it takes."
[Chorus:]
To melt your icy blue heart
Should I start?
To turn what's been frozen for years
Into a river of tears

"Jesus was an Airborne Ranger, you'll be one too, oh Lordy, Jesus was an Airborne Ranger, you'll be one too, ... away down beyond the Saigon River..."

There is a lot more, but I can't type it on this forum, know what I mean?

the way that she did, what she did, when she did what she did to me made me think of you

yeah honey, made me think of you
_

there's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes
_

call up Trudy on the telephone, send her a letter in the mail
tell her I'm stuck up here in Dallas and they wont let me outta this jail
_

cause this ain't gonna be
the first time
this ol' cowboy
spent the night alone
_

grabbed a sagging timber and gave out with a groan,
and like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone
_

we're wanted men, we'll strike again but first let's have a beer
_

they both knew me but the police don't
maybe they'll catch me and maybe they wont

1. Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas, we got eighty feet of waterline nicely making way.

2. I knew the gun was loaded but didn't think he'd kill.

3. I see earthquakes and lightning, I see a bad time today

4. I'm going where the water tastes like wine. We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time.

She's - a - flyin' jib-sail schooner
Close hauled on a starboard tack
A hundred ton of oyster shell
A'ridin' on her back
John Rainer was her master
And she hailed from lower bay
And when the wind is nor-west down
You can see her still today



Up the narrow street he stepped
Smiling proud and young
About the hemp rope on his neck
The golden ringlets clung
There was never a tear in his blue eyes
Though sad and bright are they
As young Roddy McCorley goes to die
On the Bridge of Toome today.

"Your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime."

Three of my favorites represented in these line.

I've posted this before, usually in some gun-vs.-knife thread.

Big Boy Pete, by the Olympics.

Approximately,

The joint was jumpin' down on a corner, down on a honky-tonk street,
When all of a sudden up drove a Cadillac, and out stepped a cat named Pete.
Diamonds on-a every finger, he wore a tailor-made suit.
He smoked a black cigar, he wore a Stetson hat, he wore a pair of cowboy boots.

Busted on through the doorway, bad as-a he could be,
He pulled out his pistol, he turned around , he said "My name is-a Big Boy Pete."
The music stopped, there wudn't a sound.
Over in the corner stood-a Bad Man Brown.

Brown smiled a grin, he said. “My friend,
You take-a three steps forward, and I’m a do you in.”
Now, Pete said, “Looka here, buddy, before I tan your hide.
I got a .45 to keep me alive, and seven bullets on my side.”

Brown pulled a knife, he jumped on Pete.
They fought from the counter right on out to the street.
They swung from north, they swung from south.
Brown cut that black cigar right out of Pete’s mouth.

Pete hit the ground, he yell and scream,
And then took his Stetson hat and beat the scene.
Now if you ever down on a corner, down on a honky-tonk street,
Don’t mess with Brown, he’ll cut you down, take a message from Big Boy Pete.

Somethings here under Heaven are just cooler than hell

you're right, Ray Wylie has been one of my favorites since the 70s.

Wouldn't surprise me none if you didn't go around hummin Screw you, we're from Texas.
