Here are the answers and scores for my recent C&W lyrics quiz. I thought this
quiz was a little bit tougher than the previous ones, but the scores were
actually a lot better on this one. Charles Betz got all but one song correct
(and that was a toughie, since only two people got it right), plus he got 
both tie-breakers correct. June Ellis also did great, only missing two, and
Toby Hughes and Joseph Pultz get "honorable mention" for only missing three.

Here are the scores :

38 Charles Betz
36 June Ellis
34 Toby Hughes
34 Joseph Pultz
31 Jack Pope & Friends
30 Joanna Castillo
28 Dale Walsh
27 Laurie Spring
27 Geri Anne Olson
26 Yaakov Kayman
24 H. Kelly Shuldberg
23 Lynda P.
23 Stuart Palmer
22 Forest Davenport
20 Mike Paugh
18 Beth Fitzpatrick
17 Huett Bishop
 7 Greg Cohoon

And here are the answers. The numbers in parentheses indicate the number of
people who correctly identified both the title (approximately, at least :-))
and the artist. There were a total of 18 entries.

Next quiz to be posted shortly!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 1. "You said it ended when he left you
     You say your love for me is strong"
ALABAMA, "OLD FLAME" (13)

 2. "The cattle are prowlin'
     The coyotes are howlin'
     Way out where the dogies bawl"
EDDY ARNOLD, "CATTLE CALL" (8)

 3. "And now I'm glad I didn't know
     The way it all would end
     The way it all would go"
GARTH BROOKS, "THE DANCE" (15)

 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."
RODNEY CROWELL, "IF LOOKS COULD KILL" (2)
(Joanna Castillo and Joseph Pultz were the only ones to get this! Guess there
are not a lot of Rodney Crowell fans out there; I had a Rodney Crowell 
tie-breaker in one earlier quiz and only a handful of people got that one)

 5. "With years and years of livin' tucked up
     Underneath their arms
     They walk away from everything
     Just to see a dream come true"
LACY J. DALTON, "16TH AVENUE" (12)
(Actually I was surprised that this many people got this one; Lacy J. is
not particularly mainstream. Great song, written by Thomas Schuyler, a
great songwriter. Some people had trouble with the street name, though;
I had guesses of 42nd St. and 7th Ave.! Close enough for me,
even though "They walk away from everything just to see a dream come
true, so God bless the boys who make the noise on 42nd Street" doesn't
rhyme too well :-))

 6. "Well the door's unlocked
     And the light's still on
     And the cover's turned down on the bed"
FORRESTER SISTERS, "(THAT'S WHAT YOU DO) WHEN YOU'RE IN LOVE" (9)
(Two people guessed Dave and Sugar. I don't remember ever hearing them
sing this, though. Just a hint for future reference : I will *NEVER*
include a Dave and Sugar song in my quizzes :-))

 7. "I got over you just long enough
     To let my heartache end"
MERLE HAGGARD, "TODAY I STARTED LOVING YOU AGAIN" (6)
(Shame on you, collectively! Only six of you got this classic?)

 8. "One day I ventured in love never once suspecting
     What the final result would be"
GEORGE JONES, "THE RACE IS ON" (14)
(A gimmie)

 9. "Sadly in search of
     But one step in back of
     Themselves, and their slow-movin' dreams"
WILLIE NELSON, "MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN COWBOYS" (13)
(My favorite Willie song)

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...)
ROY ORBISON, "OH, PRETTY WOMAN" (14)
(Jack Pope and friends were the only entry to get the title exactly right.
Of course everyone got credit. I'm not real picky like some other
quizmasters are. I remember entering a golden oldies quiz in rec.games.trivia,
and I lost by half-a-point because I got docked for answering "Pretty Woman"
to this song!)

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!)
OSBORNE BROTHERS, "ROCKY TOP" (7)
(Had to include this one, since it's one of my all-time personal favorites!)

12. "They're gonna put me in the movies
     They're gonna make a big star out of me"
BUCK OWENS, "ACT NATURALLY" (17)
(The easiest song of all. By the way, if I remember correctly, this song
is the "B" side to the Beatles' "Yesterday" single)

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"
JOHNNY RODRIGUEZ, "RIDIN' MY THUMB TO MEXICO" (3)
(A toughie. I really thought more people would get his, but only Charles
Betz, Joanna Castillo, and Toby Hughes got it. Great song!)

14. "Down a long dusty driveway
     I didn't want to go"
SAWYER BROWN, "THE WALK" (11)

15. "She'd make her threats
     But her heart wasn't set on goodbye"
GEORGE STRAIT, "BABY'S GOTTEN GOOD AT GOODBYE" (12)
(I was sort of surprised that so many people got this, since I picked
a pretty obscure lyric. Very good!)

16. "But I've heard that ocean's salty
     And the stars they sometimes fall"
RANDY TRAVIS, "DEEPER THAN THE HOLLER" (14)
(Again, pretty good for such an obscure lyric)

17. "You'll walk the floor
     The way I do"
HANK WILLIAMS, SR., "YOUR CHEATIN' HEART" (12)

18. "He'll have good times
     And you'll have bad times"
TAMMY WYNETTE, "STAND BY YOUR MAN" (12)
(*EVERYONE* should have gotten this one!)

19. "It wasn't very long ago
     When you yourself were just a hayseed plow-boy
     Didn't have a row to hoe"
TRISHA YEARWOOD, "SHE'S IN LOVE WITH THE BOY" (15)

20. "You don't know me but you don't like me
     You say you care less how I feel"
DWIGHT YOAKAM (with help from Buck!), "STREETS OF BAKERSFIELD" (15)

Tie Breakers (these are tough)
------------------------------
 1. "End over end neither left nor to right
     Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights"
BOBBY BARE, "DROP KICK ME JESUS THROUGH THE GOALPOSTS OF LIFE" (5)
(Actually, 15 people identified the song, but only five had the
"correct" artist, unless there are other versions of this that I have
not heard, which is very possible. Among the other guesses were : Oak 
Ridge Boys, Ray Stevens, Kris Kristofferson, and Mac Davis!)

 2. "You've got your story
     And I've got mine, too"
GEORGE JONES/TAMMY WYNETTE, "TWO STORY HOUSE"
