On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert
I pick up my money and head back into town

The Promised Land  --  Bruce Springsteen


Well, that goes to show you what a moon can do
No more bridge from Tuesday to Friday
Everbody's gone high society
Hope lost his head and got off on alligators 
     

Moonlight on Vermont - Captain Beefheart.

Say baby you'll be mine 'cause its kissin' time
Gonna twist again like remember when
Sleepin. on the beach, seven days a week
Rockin' every night 'til the early bright

Say baby you'll be mine 'cause its kissin' time
Gonna twist again like remember when
Sleepin. on the beach, seven days a week
Rockin' every night 'til the early bright

Wildwood days - Bobby Rydell

I had heard the whispered tales
Of immortality
The deepest mystery
From an ancient book. I took a clue

I had heard the whispered tales
Of immortality
The deepest mystery
From an ancient book. I took a clue

Xanadu  --  Rush


Well he woke up that morning
And he called into work
Put on his daddy's old suit
With a second hand shirt
All untucked, shoes untied
The people all snickered as he walked by         

Yuma - Justin Earle Townes

And the elephants are kindly but their dumb
Orangutangs are skeptical of changes in their cages

And the elephants are kindly but their dumb
Orangutangs are skeptical of changes in their cages

At The Zoo  --  Simon and Garfunkel


So great an area of land that from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South
And the North Americas with ease
In their ships with painted sails
To the East, Africa was a neighbor
Across a short strait of sea miles 
  
      

Atlantis - Donovan. Nice Triple A too

Marble on the floor, cocaine in her drsser
Bars on her doors, she keeps her back against the wall
She keeps her back against th wall
So i say

Marble on the floor, cocaine in her dresser
Bars on her doors, she keeps her back against the wall
She keeps her back against the wall
So i say 

Welcome To The Boomtown  --  David And David


Took Daddy's Cadillac
I drove it to Chicago, never brought it back
Well all these years later, I'm still unemployed
         

Took Daddy's Cadillac
I drove it to Chicago, never brought it back
Well all these years later, I'm still unemployed

City Boys - Patty Scialfa

Nice!
I've got to hand it to you, Cobra!
I think you are the first one of us to use Mrs. Springsteen on any of these threads!
Nicely done!

I like my whiskey straight up daiquiris
Make me ill
And if someone touches my beaver skins
I get mad enought to kill

Rhino - I knew you'd appreciate a Mrs. Springsteen song!

I like my whiskey straight up, daiquiris
Make me ill
And if someone touches my beaver skins
I get mad enought to kill

Son Of Detroit  --  Kid Rock


Next Lyrics : This country artist is mentioned in the last song

God painted the bluebonnets in the fields
By a tough little scrub oak on an East Texas hill
And He plucked the star from a lone star sky
And He put it in the twinkle of a cowboy's eye         

No Place But Texas - Willie Nelson

Gotta make a move to
a town that's right for me 

Gotta make a move to
a town that's right for me

FunkyTown  --  Lipp's Inc.  I wonder if the guitar riff on this was "inspired" from "The Changeling" by The Doors


Bands won't play no more
Too much fighting on the dance floor 

Ghost Town - The Specials

I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be heaven or this could be hell   

I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be heaven or this could be hell  

Hotel California  --  The Eagles


Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee
    

Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee

Peaceful World - JC Mellencamp

FunkyTown  --  Lipp's Inc.  I wonder if the guitar riff on this was "inspired" from "The Changeling" by The Doors

I just listened to both.....I think you've got something there, Cobra.
Good observation!

Next:
When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow. (Hah!)
All them women gonna make me, teach 'em what they don't know how,

Jackson - Johynny Cash

He's the hairy hairy gent
Who ran amok in Kent   


  

Runnin' home to some small Ohio town
Jesus send some good women to save all your clowns

Runnin' home to some small Ohio town
Jesus send some good women to save all your clowns
And Circus Boy dances like a monkey on barbed wire  --  I've always had the crazy image of a very young Mickey Dolenz on this line, the few times I've heard this old gem.  If Bruce had spelled it Monkee, I would have flipped.

Wild Billy's Circus Story  --  Bruce Springsteen


Next Lyrics: One of my favorite songs by this band.  I'll bet that you guys know who actually wrote this well written song.
Bonus points if you know the area that was the inspiration for the song.

Your local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn this song
To serenade the weekend squire
Just came out to mow his lawn          

Your local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn this song
To serenade the weekend squire
Just came out to mow his lawn  

Pleasant Valley Sunday - The Monkees

I DID know that Carole King and Gerry Goffin had written this gem.
But I do not deserve the bonus points because I had to look up that part of the question.
West Orange, New Jersey!
I'll bet clean knew that one!

And Cobra, I will now forever think of Mickey Dolenz when I listen to Bruce's Circus Story.
Hilarious!

Queens
Mom's cooking chicken and collard greens
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese

Christmas in Hollis, (a section of Queens) - Run DMC


The come, sit by my side if yuou love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the ----
And the cowboy who loved you so true       

Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the ----
And the cowboy who loved you so true 

Red River Valley  --  Tex Ritter


Next Lyrics: From a 60's band out of San Antonio

When there's nothing left to say
And all the clouds have faded away
And my mind wanders out there across the bay
Just to be there in the morning
With the sun coming through the trees
Well you know
There ain't no place I'd rather be  
           

When there's nothing left to say
And all the clouds have faded away
And my mind wanders out there across the bay
Just to be there in the morning
With the sun coming through the trees
Well you know
There ain't no place I'd rather be

Sunny Sunday Mill Valley Groove Day - Texas Tornados

That's a new one on me, Cobra. Thanks!

Walking through the woods I have faced it
Looking for something to learn
30,000 thoughts have replaced it,
Never in my time to return
