Here's another C&W lyrics quiz, in the same format as the others. Again,
the songs are listed alphabetically by artist, and again, some of these
have been recorded by more than one artist, but I think only one artist
fits alphabetically (and in my opinion, that artist is the one who is
best known for recording the song).

*** MAIL ***, ***DO NOT POST*** your answers (artist and approximate
song title) in any recognizable format to :

     marshall@force.ssd.lmsc.lockheed.com

Today is 13 October. I'll post the results on 21 October.

 1. "I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
     Rollin' down Highway 41"

 2. "She's been good to me when things were going rough
     How can I tell her now that good ain't good enough"

 3. "I would not have chosen the road you have taken
     It has left us miles apart"

 4. "It's not a rainbow you see
     Through tears in your eyes
     Don't think love is one-sided"

 5. "....But your sweet love made me stop and go home"

 6. "Yes ma'am, she means everything
     I hope she comes back when she hears these words"

 7. "Just because I asked a friend about her
     Just because I spoke her name somewhere"

 8. "Well the music's playing fast, and they just met
     He presses up against her, and his shirt's all soaked with sweat"

 9. "You've got to sing like you don't need the money
     Love like you'll never get hurt"

10. "Everybody wants love to be easy
     But it's never been that way"

11. "Have you ever stopped to think or wonder why
     The nearest thing to heaven is a child?"

12. "I introduced her to my darlin'
     And while they were waltzing
     My friend stole my sweetheart from me"

13. "Your beauty is beyond compare, with flaming locks of auburn hair
     With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green"

14. "I know it's not your fault that you're so pretty
     And that you turn the head of every man"

     Out the window at the darkness"

     Take things in stride"

17. "So if I'm into all that honky-tonkin'
     Well I'm a big girl I can take care of myself"

18. "An hour later and I gunned
     My '57 off to heaven"

19. "If they ain't got a Grand Ole Opry
     Like they do in Tennessee
     Just send me to hell or New York City
     It'd be about the same to me"

20. "I miss you darlin' more and more every day
     As heaven would miss the stars above"

Tiebreakers

1. "This old town's filled with sin
    It'll swallow you in
    If you've got some money to burn"
    (Several artists have recorded this; pick any one)

2. "He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
    And he said it didn't matter, he was after Texas Red
    After Texas Red"
