Subject: ninety mph down a dead end street From: GUEST,Ingrid Frances Stark Date: 31 Aug 04 - 12:54 AM Anybody out there heard of a song by this title, or one containing the line? When I heard it mentioned, it was referred to as a C&W song, but Google turned up nothing. Just curious. Ingrid |

Subject: Lyr Add: NINETY MILES AN HOUR (DOWN A DEAD END...) From: Joe Offer Date: 31 Aug 04 - 03:42 AM I found these lyrics at rlyrics.com, which also has some pesky popups. Apparently, the song was recorded by Hank Snow and by Bob Dylan. Ninety Miles An Hour (Down a Dead End Street) I took you home from a party and we kissed in fun A few stolen kisses and no harm was done Instead of stopping when we could, we went right on 'Til suddenly we found that the brakes were gone You belong to someone else and I do too It's just crazy bein' here with you Like a bad motorcycle with the devil in the seat Goin' ninety miles an hour down a dead end street Goin' ninety miles an hour down a dead end street I didn't want to want you but now I have no choice It's too late to listen to that warning voice All I hear is thunder when two hearts beat Goin' ninety miles an hour down a dead end street Goin' ninety miles an hour down a dead end street You're not free to belong to me And you know that I could never be your own But your lips on mine Are like sweet, sweet wine But we're heading for a wall of stone Warning signs are flashing everywhere, we pay no heed Instead of slowing down the pace, we're picking up speed Disaster's getting closer every time we meet Goin' ninety miles an hour down a dead end street Yeah, ninety miles an hour down a dead end street Well, ninety miles an hour down a dead end street |

Subject: RE: ninety mph down a dead end street From: Phil Cooper Date: 31 Aug 04 - 04:38 PM Ingrid, looks like you got the song you were looking for. You might want to check out the song "Walk Away Joe" which has the line "ninety miles an hour down a lover's lane." Not really related to your original question, but I think you'll like it. |
Subject: Lyr Add: SMALL TOWN SATURDAY NIGHT (Hal Ketchum) From: belter Date: 31 Aug 04 - 05:45 PM I think you may be looking for Hal Ketchum's "Small Town Saturday Night". Samll Town Saturday Night by Hal Ketchum There's an Elvis movie on the marquee sign We've all seen at least three times Everybody's broke, Bobby's got a buck Put a dollars worth of gas in his pickup truck We're going' ninety miles an hour down a dead end road What's the hurry, son... where you gonna go? We're gonna howl at the moon, shoot out the light It's a small town Saturday night It's a small town Saturday night Lucy's got her lipstick on a little too bright Bobby's gettin' drunk and lookin' for a fight Liquor on his breath and trouble on his mind And Lucy's just a kid along for the ride Got a six-pack of beer and a bottle of wine Gotta be bad just to have a good time They're gonna howl at the moon, shoot out the light It's a small town Saturday night It's a small town Saturday night Bobby told Lucy, "The world ain't round... Drops off sharp at the edge of town Lucy, you know the world must be flat 'Cause when people leave town, they never come back" They go ninety miles an hour to the city limits sign Put the pedal to the metal 'fore they change their mind They howl at the moon, shoot out the light It's a small town Saturday night They howl at the moon, shoot out the light Yeah, it's a small town Saturday night It's a small town Saturday night It's a small town Saturday night |
Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: NINETY MILES AN HOUR (DOWN A...) From: GUEST,Obie Date: 31 Aug 04 - 06:02 PM Hank's chords: recorded by Hank Snow (in 1963) written by Hal Blair and Don Robertson Albums: Best of Hank Snow and The Essential hank Snow I took you [C] home from a party and we kissed in fun, a [G] few stolen kisses and [C] no harm was done. Instead of [F] stopping when we could, we [C] went right on, until suddenly we found the [F] brakes were[C] gone. You belong to someone else and I do too. [G] It's just too crazy being [C] here with you. As a [F] bad motorcycle with the [C] devil in the seat, Doin' 90 miles an hour down a [F] dead end [C] street. I didn't want to want to now I have no choice. It's too late to hear the warning voice. All I hear is thunder as our two hearts beat, Doin' 90 miles an hour down a dead end street. [F] You're not free to belong to me and you [C] know I can never be your own. Your[F] lips on mine are like sweet sweet wine, but we're [C] headed for a wall of [G] stone. Warning signs are flying by us but we pay no heed, Instead of slowing down the pace we keep pickin' up the speed. Disaster's getting closer every time we meet. Doin' 90 miles an hour down a dead end street. |
