Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

I love that woman
She's the best one that I had
But she's got this habit now
And it sure is gettin' bad.

That whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man out of me.

[KD in CA]

Hand guns are made for killin'
They ain't no good for nothin' else
And if you like to drink your whiskey
You might even shoot yourself

[SinceThe70s]

I'm headed down a highway got a suitcase by my side
Blue skies hangin' over my head I got five hundred miles to ride
I'm goin' down to Memphis town to play a late night show
I hope the people are ready there 'cause the boys are all ready to go

 

Well, I'm a whiskey rock-a-roller
That's what I am
Women, whiskey and miles of travelin'
Is all I understand

[Gray Beard]

Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you
 

Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

[WhoTom]

They knew all the right people
They took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties
They paid heavenly bills
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice she was caught up in the race

 

[SinceThe70s]

You told me that your 20 years have gone by much too fast
And you’ve been hoping this year will be better than the last
You said you’ve been waging a war against the loneliest of nights
With the strongest drinks and longest lines
It’s not that big a surprise
That you’re feeling more dead than alive

[Bill from NYC]

You told me goodbye, how was I to know
You didn't mean goodbye, you meant please don't let me go?
I was having a high time, living the good life, well I know

The wheels are muddy, got a ton of hay,
Now listen here, Baby, 'cause I mean what I say.

I'm having a hard time, living the good life, well I know

[Gray Beard]

You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times, lived through some sad times
But this time your hurting won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille

[Gugny]

In the days of my youth
I was told what it was to be a man
Now I've reached the age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try
I find my way to do the same old jam

 

Good times, bad times
You know I had my share
When my woman left home
With a brown eyed man
Well, I still don't seem to care

[WhoTom]

There's a party goin' on right here
A celebration to last throughout the years
So bring your good times, and your laughter too
We gonna celebrate your party with you
 

[Bill from NYC]

Let's cut the rug, little jive and jitterbug,

We want the best, we won't settle for less,

Don't be a drag, participate,

Clams on the half shell, and roller skates, roller skates.

 

Good times, these are the good times,

Leave your cares behind,

These are the good times.

 

[Gray Beard]

Baby, baby, it looks like it's gonna hail
Baby, baby, it looks like it's gonna hail
You better come inside
Let me teach you how to jive an' wail
Oh, you gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail away
Papa's in the icebox lookin' for a can of ale
Papa's in the icebox lookin' for a can of ale
Mama's in the backyard
Learnin' how to jive an' wail
Oh, you gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

[Bill from NYC]

Boys, take it right on down to the gator

Oh boys, gotta take a side elevator

Can't you hear those hip cats call?

Come on boys, let's have a ball

 

The jip jam jump is a jumpin' jive

Makes you dig your life on the mellow side

The jip jam jump is a solid jive

Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five.

Beep Beep

 

 

[WhoTom]

I'm a road runner honey,
And you can't keep up with me,
I'm a road runner honey,
And you can't keep up with me,
Come on, let's race,
Baby baby, you will see,
Here I come,
Beep! Beep!

[Gugny]

Babe, baby, baby, I'm gonna leave you
I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you

I'll leave you when the summertime
Leave you when the summer comes a rollin'
Leave you when the summer comes along

[PastaJoe]

Babe, I'm leaving, I must be on my way
The time is drawing near
My train is going, I see it in your eyes
The love, the need, your tears
But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me, my heart is in your hands
And I'll be missing you

You know it's you Babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you Babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true
Babe, I love you

[Gray Beard]

Think I'll go out to Alberta, weather's good there in the fall
I got some friends that I could go to working for
Still I wish you'd change your mind,
If I asked you one more time
But we've been through this a hundred times or more
 

Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change, come what may
If the good times are all gone, and I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

[WhoTom]

In another time's forgotten space
Your eyes looked through your mother's face
Wildflower seed on the sand and stone
May the four winds blow you safely home

 

[Bill from NYC]

Through the years
Through all the good and bad
I know how much we had
I've always been so glad to be with you
Through the years
It's better everyday
You've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay
I'll stay with you
Through the years

[Gray Beard]

When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a Valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine
 

If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four
