Here are the results and answers for my latest country music lyrics
quiz. It was a little bit tougher than the previous quizzes, but all
of the songs should be familiar (i.e., kick yourself a few times after
you look at the answers).

Believe it or not,  June Ellis got 36 points out of a possible 40! That's 
incredible! Charles Betz was very close, with 34 points, and Kristy 
Hibbs had 28 points for another very good score.

Here are the scores :

Charles Betz . . . . . . 34
Kristy Hibbs . . . . . . 28
Terry Bartlett . . . . . 26
Toby Hughes. . . . . . . 22
Lynda Peterson . . . . . 21
Susan ???. . . . . . . . 21
jrhunsbe@eos.ncsu.edu. . 13

And, the answers follow. I'll be posting another quiz in about a week or so.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1. "So you just go where you go
     And do what you do
     And be who you want to be"
MARY-CHAPIN CARPENTER, "YOU NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD"

 2. "With steel guitars and soft southern twang
     The stars of the Grand Ole Opry would sing"
LIONEL CARTWRIGHT, "I WATCHED IT ALL ON MY RADIO"

 3. "We're lighting the fuses
     And counting to three"
ROSEANNE CASH, "RUNAWAY TRAIN" (This was a real tough one. Only a couple
  of people got it).

 4. "Found a note left on the dresser
     And a key left in the door"
MARK CHESNUTT, "BROKEN PROMISE LAND" (Come on, this was a giveaway! Should
  still be fresh in your minds! Most people missed it).

 5. "I'll bet you didn't know it
     But I'm a fiddle player, too"
CHARLIE DANIELS BAND, "THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA" (Well, there has
  to be a few gimmies!)

 6. "Your eyes keep tempting me
     And I never was that strong"
KENDALLS, "HEAVEN'S JUST A SIN AWAY"

 7. "You're still out there somewhere with someone you met"
K.D. LANG, "DOWN TO MY LAST CIGARETTE" (Another toughie)

JOHNNY LEE, "PICKIN' UP STRANGERS"

 9. "I'm just not myself when you're away"

     As our love dies quietly"
REBA MCENTIRE, "SOMEBODY SHOULD LEAVE"

11. "My loss will be your gain
     And the rest of the picture is clear"
LORRIE MORGAN, "OUT OF YOUR SHOES" (My little girl heard me playing this
  song, and she asked me "What does that mean, daddy - 'I'd love to be out
  of your shoes tonight'"? I told her "It means she likes her friend's shoes'")

12. "By the dark of the moon I planted
     But there came an early fall"

17. "Everyone knows when their neighbor's gone
     They roll up the street when the sun goes down"
SWEETHEARTS OF THE RODEO, "MIDNIGHT GIRL/SUNSET TOWN" (Nobody got the

  Horse Town"!)

18. "...what's that flower you've got on
     Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?"

STEVE WARINER, "SOME FOOLS NEVER LEARN"

20. "Never gonna ask her if she'll marry me
     I know she'd turn me down"
DON WILLIAMS, "I'M JUST A COUNTRY BOY" (What a great song this is!)

Tiebreakers :

 1. "Just rolling down that great American highway
     With the morning sky lit up like a flame"
CHRIS LEDOUX, "RUNNING THROUGH THE RAIN" (OK, I guess this one was too tough.
  No one even attempted a guess. I thought Chris LeDoux was pretty well known,
  and this is one of his better known songs. Oh well).

 2. "Then I heard a wild world calling
     Saw a lone star falling
     Caught a song and set it free"
RODNEY CROWELL, "MANY A LONG AND LONESOME HIGHWAY"
