Last week's quiz worked out so well, I think I'll try another. Same rules; it's the first 1 or 2 lines of the song, all versions are by the original songwriter, and PLEASE NO GOOGLING!
1. I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the skies.
Achin' with the feelin' of the freedom of an eagle when she flies.
2. Is it too much to ask?
I want a comfortable bed that won't hurt my back
Food to fill me up
And warm clothes and all that stuff
3. What has happened down here is the wind have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
4. I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
5. was dreaming of the past.
And my heart was beating fast,
6. Living on the road my friend
Was gonna keep you free and clean
7. How many days has it been
Since I was born
How many days until I die
8. Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
I was layin' in bed
9. When I was a child my family would travel
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
10. Rita was sixteen years… hazel eyes and chestnut hair
She made the Woolworth counter shine
11. Pickin' up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream
I wonder how the old folks are tonight
12. Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
13. It was late in December, the sky turned to snow
All round the day was going down slow
14. Oh people, look around you
The signs are everywhere
15. Oh I used to be disgusted
and now I try to be amused.
16. Oh I used to be disgusted
and now I try to be amused.
17. Sometimes I think life is just a rodeo,
The trick is to ride and make it to the bell.
18. They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
19. I met my old lover
On the street last night
20. Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
