    Today is a holiday in some parts so to those parts

    HAPPY 4TH!

    Having problems with the formatting,srossing fingers now,pressing submit..

    OK for all the old timers round here [J] Some oldies and some not so oldies. But you may or may not hear them on an oldies station. There just some good ol songs.(a couple of great ol ones to)

    Warning: theyre not all of the same venue.

    1)  Long-distance call I got today

    She sounded lonely, so I'm on my way

    2)  Sometimes late at night you'll still call me
    Just before you close your eyes to sleep
    You make me vow to try and stop by sometime

    Baby that's a promise I can't keep.

    .

    3).. I remember to this day
    The bright red Georgia clay
    And how it stuck to the tires
    After the summer rain
    Will power made that old car go
    A woman's mind told me that so
    Oh how I wish

    We were back on the road again

    4). Don't you just know Im waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary

    Hopin' that the train is on time

    5). But no one heard them callin',
    No one came at all,
    'Cause they were too busy watchin'

    Those old raindrops fall.

    6). It may be hard to discover
    That you've been left for another
     But don't forget that love's a game

    And it can always come again

    7).the only spoken lines in this song
    I know this is the same road I took the day I left home,
    but it sure looks different now. And I guess I look
    different too, cause time changes everything. I wonder what

    they'll say, when they see their boy looking this bad.

    8) . She looked up and down my perfect frame

    And said these words that burned into my perfect brain.

    9). Reality came around
    And without so much, as a mere touch
    Cut me into little pieces

    10 ). You got problems in your life of love
    You got a broken heart
    He's double dealin' with your best friend
    That's when the teardrops start -
    Pick up the phone
    I'm here alone
    Or make a social call
    Come right in
    Forget about him
    We'll have ourselves a ball

    11). And when I go to sleep at night you're always a part of my dream
    Holding me tight and telling me everything I wanna hear

    Happy holiday, plum

    Plum,

    (2) sounds like a Carpenters' song but I can't place it? (not asking for hints, Just thinking out loud. Or is that typing out loud? Or is that thinking on line? Oh, for crying out loud, never mind!)

    (3) How LO can you Bo? A Dog Named BOO (call me sappy but i really like that song)

    (4) One Toke Over the Line-Brewer & Shipley

    (5) Ride Captain Ride-Blue Image

    Well Done ya'll! hehehe.

    Gary and the Playboys. LOL Senior playboys with pacemakers. Makes sense.

    1) performed by: Vanity Fare

    4) Brewer&Shipley...I have to confess I couldn't remember who performed that one either, but I could remember all the lyrics.

    11) Billy Swan performed it

    I'll add another clue to number X I know you'll probably nail it as soon as I do.

    artist: Bobby Bare

    Teardrops fell on momma's note
    When I read the things she wrote
    She said "we miss you son we love you, come on home"
    Well I didn't have to pack

    I had it all right on my back

    (Title)chorus

    Did I say 8? Geesh I meant number 7! SORRY BOUT THAT
