Lyrically Speaking - 2/10/14

Howdy, pardners! Welcome to another exciting edition of Mecca Monday! This week, we're gonna explore one of my favorite genres of music, and one which I love to add to the muzak CD's I play in my fine stores.... it's time for a little country! Yes, there's nothing I loved more back in the day than traveling from store to store in my pickup truck with Ol' Roy by my side listening to the old twangy country stations we have here in Arkansas. Of course, many of the Mecca country songs were released after I had already gone to that great big Opry in the sky, and as fair warning, one artist appears twice in this game. That's OK, I'm sure most of you rock and rollers won't do well on this game anyway. BWAHAHAHAHA... oh wait, excuse me...
Could we get customer assistance to the tobacco counter near the chaw...

1. Hello Samantha dear, I hope you're feelin' fine
And it won't be long until I'm with you all the time
But until then I'll spend my money up right down to my last dime
2. Now you can drag out the heartache
Baby you can make it quick
You can get it over with and let me move on
Don't concern yourself with this mess you left for me
I can clean it up you see
Just as long as your gone
3. Black top, blue skies big town full of little white lies,
Everybody's your friend, you can never be sure,
They'll promise fancy cars and diamond rings and all sorts of shiny things,
But girl you'll remember what your knees are for
4. Now there's a chance that if I hurry
I could beg her to stay
That water's right
And the weather's perfect
No telling what I might catch today
5. I've got some big news
The bank finally came through
And I'm holding the keys to
A brand new Chevrolet
6. Hands on the wheel, cruisin down the interstate
Gas pedal sticks, carries my car away
I was goin as fast as a Rambler does
I could feel the speed from my head to my toes
7. Winter sure was cold and miserable
Cooped up, shut down, baby it was pitiful
Anyhow, it`s over now
We owe to ourselves to have a little fun
The pace car`s pacin` now the green flag`s wavin`
8. Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight,
Shinin' through the trees,
Crickets are singin' and lightnin' bugs
Are floatin' on the breeze
Baby get ready.
9. It's the Duquoin, Illinois county fair
I could still see her standing there like a dream
Flatbed stage on a little dirt track
She was second row, her hair pulled back
We were young and free
10. Back when I was gasoline
And this old tattoo had brand new ink
And we didn't care what your mom would think
About your name on my arm
11. She barely even knew his name,
But she liked the way he played the game.
Everybody cheered,
When he scored that last touchdown
12. I Been working so hard
I'm punching my card
Eight hours for what
Oh, tell me what I got
