1. Somewhere along the way, I found a meaning
I woke up dreaming - along the way
It never quite seems the same when you awaken
And making up for the time is such a price to pay

2.How many times do you hear it?
It goes on all day long
Everyone knows everything
And no one's ever wrong
Until later... Show don't tell by Rush, guessed by bella_cheval


3.It used to seem to me
That my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last

4.I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty don't ya know, and I'm still, willin'
Out on the road late at night, Seen my pretty Alice in every head light
Alice, Dallas Alice

5. He was an old-time cowboy, don’t you understand
his eyes were sharp as razor blades his face was leather tan

6.While window shopping through the past
I ran across a looking glass
Reflecting moments remaining in a burned out light
Tragic magic prayers of passion

7. When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes Everybody Hurts by REM guessed by bella_cheval

8.Caroline! Caroline!
All the guys would say she's mighty fine
But mighty fine only got you somewhere half the time
And the other half either got you cursed out, or coming up short

9.Hidden in the mountains
Under the earth and stone
A cubic mile of perfection
Treasure no one has known Diamond as Big as the Ritz, by Jimmy Buffett, guessed by sb_pyrat

10.I woke up in another strange place
By a 40 acre parking lot
With every kind of sign
I was talking to another strange face
Who was tellin’ me
That he didn’t have the time

11.They were just two underachievers
In a sleepy one horse town.
Fate brought them together, so they said.
He had a face you can’t remember
Even when he’d hang around

12. We all came out to montreux
On the lake geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didnt have much time

13. Well the Nine Pound Hammer, is a little too heavy
for my size, buddy for my size Nine Pound Hammer by Tony Rice, guessed by sb_pyrat
14. Long distance runaround
Long time waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time you said goodbye

15. If you change your mind, I’m the first in line
Honey I’m still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around Take a Chance on me By Abba, guessed by bella_cheval


16. You gotta start each day with a song..
Lookin for Pussy, Lookin for Pussy

17. Yea, well I spent a lifetime
Just makin up my mind to be,
More than the measure of
What I thought others could see. Old Five and Dimers like me, by Billy Joe Shaver, guessed bysb_pyrat

18. Up on the Blue Ridge mountain, there I'll take my stand
Up on the Blue Ridge mountain, there I'll take my stand
A rifle on my shoulder, six-shooter in my hand
Lord, Lord, I've been all around this world

19. Woke up this morning with nothing on my mind
nothing's all I'm looking for, nothing's all I'll find.

20. Uncle B.S. Where were you... Summer of 1876?
