, breaker one-nine, this here's the Rubber Duck
You gotta copy on me, Pig Pen, c'mon?
Ah, yeah, 10-4, Pig Pen, fer shure, fer shure
By golly, it's clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon
Yeah, that's a big 10-4 there, Pig Pen
Yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy

She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean, she was the best damn woman that I ever seen...
Bessie was a lovely child from west Tennessee
Leroy was an outlaw wild as a mink
One day she saw him starin' and it chilled her to the bone
And she knew she had to see that look on a child of her own.

A little song here about keeping your hands off my Willie!

I was a little too tall, could've used a few pounds
Tight pants, points hardly renowned
She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own, sitting way up high. Way up firm and high.

She was cuter than a speckled pup just turned 21
She had a lot of fun playing with my gun
Just before the sun come up she couldn't take no more
She came undone crying crawling for the door.

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
Wont get fooled again
The Who

Hello? (Hello? Hello? Hello?)
Is there anybody in there?
Comfortably numb

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like coca cola
C-O-L-A, Cola
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like coca cola

Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock and roll

The tax man's taken all my dough
And left me in my stately home
Lazing on a sunny afternoon
And I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everything I got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
If everybody had an ocean
Across the U. S. A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
Huarache sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo
Surfin' U. S. A.

Not the opening lyrics, but gold...
My Maseratti does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive
I go to parties sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door
They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time
- Joe Walsh

"She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said
Lola L-O-L-A Lola Lo lo lo lo Lo - la."
Made me go and play that one!
What a shame the recording sucks big time. I am talking only of very low fidelity of the mp3. Wasn't mastered right, or original tape was very poor. Looked for another recording, but it was poor as well.

Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died.”

Gotta make a move to a town that’s right for me... town that keeps me movin’, keeps me groovin’ with some energy....
Of course, i can't post the above, without following up with...
There's a double dutch bus coming down the street moving pretty fast...
So kinda shuffle your feet...
Get on the bus and pay your fare...

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day,
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have much to say
Nobody dared to ask question
Nobody made a slip
The stranger there among them had a Big Iron in his hip"
Marty Robbins singing "Big Iron"
