Here's another C&W lyrics quiz. Once again, I've tried to pick songs that
everyone has heard, but with just enough tease in the lyrics to frustrate
you. Some of these are dead giveaways just to build your confidence, but
most of them will hopefully probe deep within your gray matter.

As before the songs are listed alphabetically by artist, keeping in mind
that there may be groups scattered around. Some songs may have been
recorded by more than one artist, but try to find one that fits
alphabetically.

(Use any decipherable format you choose; I score these "the old-fashioned
way", i.e., no automated scoring systems).

Today is 3 October. I'll post the answers/results on 12 Ocotober.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 1. "You said it ended when he left you
     You say your love for me is strong"

 2. "The cattle are prowlin'
     The coyotes are howlin'
     Way out where the dogies bawl"

 3. "And now I'm glad I didn't know
     The way it all would end
     The way it all would go"

 4. "There's a stool that I've been glued to for so many nights
     And a bar to pour my heart out on and make it right."

 5. "With years and years of livin' tucked up
     Underneath their arms
     They walk away from everything
     Just to see a dream come true"

 6. "Well the door's unlocked
     And the light's still on
     And the cover's turned down on the bed"

 7. "I got over you just long enough
     To let my heartache end"

 8. "One day I ventured in love never once suspecting
     What the final result would be"

 9. "Sadly in search of
     But one step in back of
     Themselves, and their slow-movin' dreams"

10. "'Cause I need you, I'll treat you right
     Come with me baby, be mine tonight"
    (Hint: This probably isn't *REALLY* country, but...)

11. "I've had years of cramped-up city life
     Trapped like a duck in a pen
     All I know is it's a pity
     Life cain't be simple again"
     (This song has been recorded by dozens and dozens of people, but 
     IMHO this is the definitive version; see if you can find the answer 
     that fits alphabetically; if you get the preceding and succeeding 
     lyrics right, it's a pretty narrow choice!)

12. "They're gonna put me in the movies
     They're gonna make a big star out of me"

13. "Well the reason that she left me's not the reason that I'm here
     I'm a traveling kind of man, just need a change of atmosphere"

14. "Down a long dusty driveway
     I didn't want to go"

15. "She'd make her threats
     But her heart wasn't set on goodbye"

16. "But I've heard that ocean's salty
     And the stars they sometimes fall"

17. "You'll walk the floor
     The way I do"

18. "He'll have good times
     And you'll have bad times"

19. "It wasn't very long ago
     When you yourself were just a hayseed plow-boy
     Didn't have a row to hoe"

20. "You don't know me but you don't like me
     You say you care less how I feel"

Tie Breakers (these are tough)
------------------------------
 1. "End over end neither left nor to right
     Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights"

 2. "You've got your story
     And I've got mine, too"
