|
Subject: RE: amusing country & western song titles From: GUEST Date: 26 May 07 - 10:55 PM That is correct. "I've Been Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Heart" was by Johnny Cash. No one posted who the artist to "All My Ex's Live in Texas" was. It was George Strait. "All My Ex's Live In Texas"; is aslo a humorous song, which I wrote a parody for. (Trying my hardest to keep the lyrics clean). |

Subject: RE: amusing country & western song titles From: LadyJean Date: 26 May 07 - 11:03 PM I remember hearing a classic in the seventies called, "The Tears Have Washed I Love You From the Blackboard of My Heart". It was serious. I should not have laughed. Then there was a ditty called "The Banana Bowl" allegedly about college life, that I heard way to often as I was sweating for exams. There was also a song called "Bring Back the MiniSkirt." Of Course there's the infamous Harper Valley PTA. When the album came out, there were songs about all the members of the Harper Valley PTA. I kind of wish I knew what they'd been up to. |

Subject: Lyr Add: TOO FAST FOR RAPID CITY (Layng Martine) From: Jim Dixon Date: 15 Oct 15 - 11:00 PM I heard this song once on the radio over 30 years ago, and never heard it again until today, when I happened to think of looking for it. Transcribed from YouTube: TOO FAST FOR RAPID CITY Words and music by Layng Martine, Jr. As recorded by Sheila Andrews on "Love Me Like a Woman" (1979) 1. Well the summer I was sixteen, my daddy caught me In a compromisin' spot with a boy I knew, And it wasn't long after that He caught me way out back With another young man and a jug o' mountain dew. 2. And he spread the word around that I was a wild child. I could hear the whispers ever'where I'd go, For the rumors they persisted, And I kept right on resistin', Till one night daddy knocked me to the floor. CHORUS: He said: You're livin' just a little bit too fast for Rapid City. You better slow down, girl; think about who you are. You're livin' just a little too fast for Rapid City, And you're gonna wake up some day, See the future has gone away, And the woman that you could have been Ain't comin' back again. 3. Well the years slipped by before I hardly knew. Pretty soon I dug a hole so deep. The boy that I'd been lovin' Left me with a kid and one in the oven, Plus twenty-three bucks and a shack on a dead-end street. 4. Well now I do my swingin' on a tire in the back yard, Some dreams and some moonshine in my head, And my little girl thinks she's grown. She came home last night at dawn. She laughed right in my face when I said: CHORUS: You're livin'.... REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE. |
