"Shannon is gone
I hope she's drifting out to sea.
She always loved to swim away.
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shady tree
Just like the one in our backyard."
Henry Gross "Release" 1976
That was some guy from Tennesee, and as I recall he earned a Ford????
Best use of a finger snap ever........

You be cool for twenty hours, And I'll pay you twenty grand.
.....................................................................................
And they called it paradise, I don't know why, Somebody laid
the mountains low, while the town got high
.....................................................................................
He looked to be sixty, and maybe I was ten
Mama used to whip me but I'd go see him again
......................................................................................
I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark, We're living in
a powder keg and giving off sparks, I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight, Forever's gonna start tonight
.....................................................................................
And they called it paradise, I don't know why, Somebody laid

She hates my Momma. She hates my Daddy too, she loves to tell me how much she hates the things I do, She loves to lie.......beside me almost every night, she's no lady, she's my wife. [L. Lovett]
The race is on and here comes Pride up the back stretch, Heartache going on the inside [G. Jones]

Go ask Alice, when you're ten feet tall. [J. Airplane]

"my love a-bigger than a cadillac, i try to show it and you drive-a me back"
"Im gonna throw my date book over the fence,
And buy me one for five or ten cents
Ill keep it till its covered with age
cause Im writin your name down on every page"
"tonight with words unspoken, you say that i'm the only one.
but will my heart be broken, when the night meets the morning sun?"
"if i searched this whole wide world, i never, never, ever, find me a girl, who love me the way that you do"

This has been an enjoyable thread, to see how many of these songs I recognize the lyrics to. Many thanks to the OP for thinking of this.
Years ago, I was a man given to riotous living. I have always loved all types of music, but country and western has always had a special place in my life. Neither my first wife, God rest her soul, or my wife now ever could stand country music. They both said it was too sad. For me, real country western music has always been about life. There is an old joke what do you get when you play a country western record backwards? You get your wife back, your job back and your dog back. These are just some lyrics from some of the songs that I recall from "the old days". Most of them were played closer to closing time, if memory serves me. Anyone here remember these?
"He was born in Oklahoma.
His wife's name is Betty Lou Thelma Liz.
He's not responsible for what he's doin'
Cause his mother made him what he is."
"Well I was drunk the day my momma got out of prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But before I could make to the station in my pick up truck,
She got run'd over by a damed old train."
There only two things in life that make it worth livin'
guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women
I don't need my name in the marquis lights
I got my song and I got you with me tonight
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love"

I remember #3 the Waylon Jennings tune.Lukenbach Tx and the second one I can sing all the lyrics to the Perfect Country & Western Song, was it David Allen Coe? I don't recall the first tune.
how about "this ol highway she's hotter than nine kinds of hale, and rides are as scarce as the rain. When you're down to your last shuck with nothing to sell and too far away from the trains."
