"Good Directions" BILLY CURRINGTON
I was sittin' there sellin' turnips on a flatbed truck Crunchin' on a pork rind when she pulled up She had to be thinkin' "This is where Rednecks come from" She had Hollywood written on her license plate She was lost and lookin' for the interstate Needin' directions and I was the man for the job
[Chorus] I told her way up yonder past the caution light There's a little country store with an old Coke sign You gotta stop in and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea Then a left will take you to the interstate But a right will bring you right back here to me
I was sittin' there thinkin' 'bout her pretty face Kickin' myself for not catchin' her name I threw my hat and thought, "You fool, that could've been love" I knew my old Ford couldn't run her down She probably didn't like me anyhow So I watched her disappear in a cloud of dust.
[Chorus] I told her way up yonder past the caution light There's a little country store with an old Coke sign You gotta stop in and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea Then a left will take you to the interstate But a right will bring you right back here to me
Is this Georgia heat playin' tricks on me Or am I really seein' what I think I see The woman of my dreams comin' back to me
She went way up yonder past the caution light Don't know why, but somethin' felt right When she stopped in and asked Miss Bell for some of her sweet tea Mama gave her a big 'ol glass and sent her right back here to me
Thank God for good directions:and turnip greens
sittin' there sellin' turnips on a flatbed truck Crunchin' on a pork rind .... Thank God for good directions:and turnip greens #clap# I love country lyrics! #clap#

Robert Plant and Allison Krauss - Rich Woman I love that whole CD.
First we'd climb a tree and maybe then we'd talk Or sit silently and listen to our thoughts With illusions of someday casting a golden light No dress rehearsal, this is our life That's when the hornet stung me and I had a feverish dream With revenge and doubt tonight we smoke them out

I think I have listed to the CD almost non stop the past few days. Most of it is a very different Robert Plant than I am used to but, I really like it & Allison blows me away. I love her voice. Have you heard the CD? btw, my name is Rose and welcome to TeamMiG

It doesn't look like you guys are going to get it! I guess because they are one of Canada's best-kept secrets.. they're huge up here but not below the border. The Tragically Hip - Ahead By A Century youtube.com/watch?v=0muhMg-DOuwHere are some new lyrics: So come on, come on we've really got a good thing going Well come on, well come on If you think we're gonna make it You better hang on to yourself
We can't dance, we don't talk much We just ball and play But then we move like tigers on vaseline Well the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar You're the blessed, we're the Spiders from Mars

Sam Thanks for the link..what a cool song. I hope you don't mind me saying this and I mean it as a compliment. I have heard of Tragically Hip but have never heard their music, til now. They gave me such a 60's feel. Reminded me of The Mama's & the Papa's & one of my favorite folk bands, Peter Paul & Mary. They have such a "Folk" Feel Thanks for sharing that vid...I really enjoyed it.
I'm sorry I hadn't posted this sooner but Welcome to the "Family" #bearhug# were so happy your here. I have been reading "all" your posts and all I can say is during the RSI contest when MiG was getting snarked on, you were there to back him up. We thank you. Your sincere words melted my heart often. We just think your great! I hope you'll be here for a long time. OK back to the game!

So come on, come on we've really got a good thing going Well come on, well come on If you think we're gonna make it You better hang on to yourself
We can't dance, we don't talk much We just ball and play But then we move like tigers on vaseline Well the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar You're the blessed, we're the Spiders from Mars

new song
Hello again, it’s you and me Kinda always like it used to be Sippin' wine, killing time Trying to solve life’s mysteries. How’s your life, it’s been a while God it’s good to see you smile I see you reaching for your keys Looking for a reason not to leave.

Do You Wanna Make A Memory by Bon Jovi? Am I right? #goodjobsign-1# #clap# I sooooo #thsmiley_loveshower# this song!!!! "(You Want To) Make A Memory"by BON JOVI Hello again, it’s you and me Kinda always like it used to be Sippin' wine, killing time Trying to solve life’s mysteries. How’s your life, it’s been a while God it’s good to see you smile I see you reaching for your keys Looking for a reason not to leave.
If you don’t know if you should stay If you don’t say what’s on your mind Baby just, breathe there’s no where else tonight we should be- You wanna make a memory.
I dug up this old photograph Look at all that hair we had It’s bittersweet to hear you laugh Your phone is ringing, I don’t wanna ask.
If you go now, I’ll understand If you stay, hey, I got a plan You wanna make a memory You wanna steal a piece of time You could sing a melody to me And I could write a couple lines You wanna make a memory.
If you don’t know if you should stay And you don’t say what’s on your mind Baby just, breathe there’s no where else tonight we should be- You wanna make a memory You wanna steal a piece of time You could sing a melody to me And I could write a couple lines You wanna make a memory You wanna make a memory

It's pretty cold for late September The autumn wind is creepin' in The summer sun packed up it's long gone There's a whole lot of leaving going on
