Jadeslade Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yep, doing their Bon Jovi meets the Rolling Stones. How about: Starin' slowly cross the sky, he said goodbye He was just the hired hand Workin' on the dreams he planned to try The days go by Every night when the sun goes down He's just another lonely boy in town While she's out runnin' round. This should be easy- I think even Leroy should get this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about this one - Way down by lake Texoma where he coaches football They were two A champions now for two years running But he says they won't be this year no they won't be this year And he stopped off in Tushka at that "Pop's Knife and Gun" place Bought a SKS rifle and a couple a full cases of that steel core ammo With the berdan primers from some East bloc nation that no longer needs 'em And a Desert Eagle that's one great big ol' pistol I mean .50 caliber made by badass Hebrews And some surplus tracers for that old BAR of Slayton's Soon as it gets dark we're gonna have us a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be easy- I think even Leroy should get this one. I'm not huge on the Eagles, nor country, but that is one of my favorite songs of all time. Those lyrics stick and the music just puts me in a good place. Shows you that a good song is good no matter what. As for that last one WTF?? Those are some twisted lyrics. definitely not a feel good thing coming through there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually a great song by a guy who has spent a lot of time in his room learning to play the guitar-he is a ripping player. Check it out. It's Texas time I see. Tonight my heart aches for Texas.... Here's one- The name she gave was Caroline daughter of a miner and her ways were free and it seemed to me That sunshine walked beside her She came to Spencer, across the hill she said her pa had sent her ‘cause the coal was low and soon the snow Would turn the skies to winter This one is sung best by a singer from Austin.

SDM Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I'm not sure of the title but I think Townes Van Zandt has a version. Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeslade Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Yep Tecumseh Valley by Townes Van Zandt. He wrote Pancho and Lefty, too. The version I like is by Nanci Griffith. Here's one: I worry I weigh three times my body I worry, I throw my fear around This morning is a calm I can't explain The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain By the time I recognize this moment this moment will be gone..............

sirveyr Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Correct. Sammy Hagar would also have been acceptable. Ya know...I should have my metal card revoked for blurting out the "answer" to that prior post. I know that song is from the "Unboxed" album. I think it was released around '93 or '94. I would like to return my trophy. The correct answer is Sammy not VH. I will now go to the corner and hang my once headbanging head in shame. I hate myself.
