Lyrically Speaking - 2/21/24

Rockin' in the USA has covered 47 of the 48 contiguous US states thus far (Sorry Alaska and Hawaii), and the fifth and final version covers the last remaining state exclusively....
Yep, we're going back to Cali. All of the songs below are from bands or artists who hail from California, or for the sake of consistency, the area above I included in my California territory. And if you've got a problem with that, well that's just totally gnarly, dude....
1 point for the title 1 point for the artist, the Earl Rule shouldn't even need to be mentioned.....
1. Well since she put me down I've been out doin' in my head
I come in late at night and in the mornin' I just lay in bed
2. Living without you
Living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I want to bring you home
3. It's not what I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention
4. Ain't nothin' like it, her shiny machine
Got the feel for the wheel
Keep the moving parts clean
5. Music hits me so hard
Makes me say "Oh, my Lord
Thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet"
6. I was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
7. I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
8. I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the borderline
Of the edge, and where I walk alone
9. Dawn is breaking everywhere
Light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains, I don't care
'Cause it's alright
10. Tambourines and elephants are playin' in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon?
11. I might have to move Heaven and Earth to prove it to you, baby (baby)
So we're making love, you feel the power and I feel the power
And there's really nothing we can't do
(You know we could, you know we could)
If we wanted to
(You know we could, you know we could)
12. But I don't want your drama
If you really wanna
Leave out that Oxford comma
