We are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138
In the eyes of a tiger

We are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138
In the eyes of a tiger

We are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138
We are 138, we are 138

The war was lost
The treaty signed
I was not caught
I crossed the line

I was not caught
Though many tried
I live among you
Well disguised

I had to leave
My life behind
I dug some graves
You’ll never find

The story’s told
With facts and lies
I had a name
But never mind
 
Just heard this for the first time:

Used to spend my nights out in a barroom​
Liquor was the only love I've known​
But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom​
And brought me back from being too far gone

Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whiskey
​
 
And of course this classic:

Just when I thought I'd get outta there with my skin
These 5 big dudes come strollin in
With one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth

Charlie Daniels - Uneasy Rider

Love that one! :)
Even Family Guy spoofed it. It was the great episode with Jesus.

 
If I ever were to lose you, I'd surely lose myself
Everything I have found here, I've not found by myself.

Try & sometimes you'll succeed to make this man of me,
all my stolen missing parts I've no need for anymore.

I believe, and I believe cuz I can see, our future days, days of you and me.

Back when I was feeling broken, you focused on a prayer,
You came deep as any ocean, it's something I fear here,
All the complexities & games, no one wins but somehow they're still played
All the missing crooked hearts, they may die but in us they live on.

I believe, and I believe cuz I can see, our future days, days of you and me.

When hurricanes & cyclones rage, when wind turned dirt to dust
When floods they came or tides they raised, Ever closer became us.
All the promises at sundown, I've meant them like the rest.
All the demons used to come round, I'm grateful now they've left.

So persistent in my ways, Angel I am here to stay. No resistance no alarms, please this is just too good to be gone.

I believe, and I believe cuz I can see, our future days, days of you and me. You and me, just you and me.

Pearl Jam - Future Days
 
Think Steve Miller Band tune...

Goodbye to all my friends I've known
And the travel agent I trusted.
I'm riding along on this beat-up old plane;
Look out the window. All the rivets are rusted.

As that ground crew pushes us backwards
On that rickety L-1011,
I'm feeling around for that flotation device,
And when the safety film is shown,
I'm payin' close attention.

Beat-up old jetliner,
Hope you got a tune-up today.
Ohhhh, beat-up old jetliner,
Did they sneak you past the FAA?

Bouncin' 'round in a thunder cloud,
Landing gear won't come down.
My seatback is up and my belt is on.
I see the fire crews sprayin' foam on the ground.

And if I get to my final destination,


I know the next flight will surely be free.
But I don't think I'll go back up
Into that piece of sh-- just to save a few pennies.

Beat-up old jetliner
Won't carry me too far today.
Ohhhh, give me a fresh airliner;
I don't care what I've got to pay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Beat-up old jetliner,
Don't carry me too far today.
Ohhhh, beat-up old jetliner,
'Cause it's home that I'd rather stay.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.
I've just turned off the no-smokin' sign.
I figure, hell, if the plane's smokin' why shouldn't you.

"Beat up Old Jetliner", Bob Rivers' Twisted Tunes

"you can't hang a man for killin' a woman who's trying to steal your horse"
 
As I remember it:

On the day I was born,
the nurses gathered around
and gazed with wide wonder
at the joy they had found.

The head nurse spoke up,
said better leave this one alone.
She could tell by the way
that I was bad to the bone.

-George Thorogood
 
Wow, I don't recognize half these artists, were you all born in the early 1900s or something?

:popcorn:
 
How about "Rubbin' the Vaselin', surely make you lose your mind"?
Or "Put your head in the pile of monkey stuff"?
Also "Big North Carolina, don't carry me too far away" sounds great.
And of course everybody's favorite "I love Rocky Road" and "I lost on Jeopardy". But now we're getting into Weird Al's territory. :)
 
Hayseed Dixie does a mean set of AC/DC covers.

And Dread Zeppelin makes the rounds every now and then: A reggae band that plays Led Zep with a lead singer that's an Elvis impersonator.
 
"The sun's not yellow, it's Chicken."
-Bob Dylan
"Tombstone Blues"​
 
"Momma's, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys.
Don't let 'em play guitars and drive them old trucks,
Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such."
 
"It's been said a little fun never hurt no one,
let's hope they're right."

Vitamin Party - Vitamin Party
 
Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge

I'm trying not to lose my head

It's like a jungle sometimes

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under.
 
Not my favorite song of all time (close), but favorite lyrics....

Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven.
 
"what's that song you want to hear, I can't hear you, what's that song you want to hear, I heard you that time"

FREEBIRD!

Elton John from 1971, Madman Across the Water

I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well

There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know

Once a fool had a good part in the play
If it's so would I still be here today
It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way
They think it's very funny everything I say
Get a load of him, he's so insane
You better get your coat dear
It looks like rain

We'll come again next Thursday afternoon
The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon
But is it in your conscience that you're after
Another glimpse of the madman across the water

I can see very well
There's a boat on the reef with a broken back
And I can see it very well

There's a joke and I know it very well
It's one of those that I told you long ago
Take my word I'm a madman don't you know
The ground's a long way down but I need more
Is the nightmare black
or are the windows painted
Will they come again next week
Can my mind really take it
 
One of my favorites:

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm

There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride
Sweet FAMILY will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone

Riders on the storm
