Lyrical Response

[RaoulDuke79]

The traffic lights, they turn blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cause the life that lived is dead

And the wind screams, "Mary"

[SinceThe70s]

Mary, Mary, tell me truly
What did I do to make you leave me?
Whatever it was I didn't mean to
You know I never would try and hurt ya
Mary, Mary, where you goin' to?

 

(Alternate lyrics years later: Mary Mary why ya buggin?")

[RaoulDuke79]

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see

[PastaJoe]

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

[Just Jack]

But if I work all day at the blue sky mine
(There'll be food on the table tonight)
Still I walk up and down on the blue sky mine
(There'll be pay in your pocket tonight)

[WhoTom]

Gotta get down to the Cumberland mine
That's where I mainly spend my time
Make good money, five dollars a day
If I made any more I might move away

[SinceThe70s]

Spend my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine

[Just Jack]

Red, red wine, it's up to you
All I can do I've done
Memories won't go, memories won't go

[PastaJoe]

One too many times
I fell over you
Once in a shadow
I finally grew
And once in a night
I dreamed you were there
I canceled my flight
From going nowhere

It's all I can do
To keep waiting for you
It's all I can do
It's all I can do

[Just Jack]

Oh, my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
(Never quite as it seems)

I know I felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be

[Bills4everNY]

When I met you in the restaurant 

You could tell I was no debutante 

You asked me what's my pleasure 

A movie or a measure 

I'll have a cup of tea

And tell you of my dreaming

Dreaming is free 

[PastaJoe]

You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant
Walk right in, it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant

[SinceThe70s]

And I was out on the road late at night
I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice, Dallas Alice

[Just Jack]

Me and Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

[Gugny]

Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said, "baby, can't you see
I want to be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between

 

Baby, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I'll love you"

[WhoTom]

You dreamed of a big star
He played a mean guitar
He always ate in the Steak Bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar

 

[SinceThe70s]

How could anyone be so unkind
To arrest a man for drivin' while blind

[Bills4everNY]

They arrested me and they put me in jail

And called my pappy to throw my bail

He said: Son you're gonna drive me to drinking 

If you don't stop driving that hot rod Lincoln

[PastaJoe]

You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong, oh no
Who's gonna drive you home
Tonight?

[SinceThe70s]

We're doing alright (ooh)
A little driving on a Saturday night (yeah)
And come what may (ooh)
Gonna dance the day away (yeah)

 

Driver's seat, ooh
Driver's seat, yeah
