Some great Road tunes for your holiday travels (this was originally supposed to be Wednesday's game, the busiest travel day of the year, but somehow I forgot to post it then). I highly recommend "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle, and I absolutely love Peter Gabriel's work, so "Mercy Street" just HAD to be on this list. As for Duffy, I caught her on SNL a few weeks ago....didn't really like her that much, but she's....um....odd and quirky and somehow, memorable. So when I could use "Warwick Avenue", I jumped at it.
1. Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too
HIGHWAY TO HELL - AC/DC
2. Now, Daddy ran the whiskey in a big-block Dodge
Bought it an an auction at the Mason's Lodge
"Johnson County Sherriff" painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
COPPERHEAD ROAD - STEVE EARLE
3. Workin' so hard like a soldier
Can't afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart I am warrior
Can't get food for them kid
ELECTRIC AVENUE - EDDY GRANT
4. She pictures the broken glass, she pictures the steam
She pictures a soul with no leak at the seam
Let's take the boat out, wait until darkness
MERCY STREET - PETER GABRIEL
5. Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination, Bangor Maine
Old worn out clothes and shoes
I don't pay no union dues
KING OF THE ROAD - ROGER MILLER
6. Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
Know I'm still alive and I walk alone
BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS - GREEN DAY
7. Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turning our way
ON THE ROAD AGAIN - WILLIE NELSON
8. He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down, there's a quiet little town
And forget about everything
BAKER STREET - GERRY RAFFERTY
9. I'm leaving you for the last time, baby
You think you're loving, but you don't love me
I've been confused, out of my mind lately
You think you're loving, but I want to be free
Baby, you've hurt me
WARWICK AVENUE - DUFFY
10. What do you think you'll do then?
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - ELTON JOHN
TOTALLY UNRELATED TO ALL THE OTHERS BONUS SONG:
I'm gonna do just what I please
Gonna wear no socks and shoes
With nothing to do but feed all the kangaroos
BLACK FRIDAY - STEELY DAN

LS Day 14 (11/28/08) ANSWERS AND POINTS
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.
