Bumping this up. I believe I only saw the 2 guesses, which were correct. I am pretty sure #4 is a Billy Gilman song but for the life of me I can't think of the title. I got nothing on the other two. You are correct on that! Other 2 both charted, one top 20, the other only charted for a week or so I believe.

Reposting my lyrics from the second page. Come on guys, #2 is easy. All big '90s hits. 4. "And when we said goodnight The sun was on the rise And any stars that hadn't set Had fallen in my eyes." "On The Verge" by Collin Raye. :) Spent far too long trying to figure that out tonight. Now I can die in peace.

I just found this thread -- am I allowed to post an answer to a lyric posted above, or is this a contest with limited registration?
It's the one starting "I'm the one you should have listened to," which is one of my all-time favorite songs, and I haven't seen the answer posted although maybe I missed it. Y'all seem to have a direct line to my favorite song lyrics, with Foolish Pride and Song For The Life among others being used as entries.
I don't want to mess up your contest by posting out of the blue.

I think it's an open-to-all kinda thing, just a couple of us have dominated because we happen to get into it and it's a LOT of fun lol. Guess away!

I don't want to mess up your contest by posting out of the blue. I thought of creating rules like Bobby did roughly 6 years ago when he did a thread like this, but I understand that many of us have lives and a schedule plus the fact that many would like to respond, so just one rule (No looking up lyrics). No way to regulate that, other than the honor code. I'm sure I speak for everybody here, in that we would love for a well respected poster like you Zazie, to participate. :) BTW: It would help if you quote or tag the poster who's lyrics your trying to guess, so that correct answers can be properly crossed out. :)

I'll be back with more later, and they'll be harder this time.

I know the other one ain't done, but wanted to do a few myself lol Mainly just skipping through my Spotify playlist 1. Baby in your arms and a tear in your eye Twelve hundred miles and you never asked why from me
Heartbreak Town - Dixie Chicks 2. I never thought I'd see the day when, you'd go, and leave, me here With my broken heart, today 3. I'm the voice you never listen to And I had to break your heart to make you see 4. An accidental touch Never meant so much Makes me realize that we're not close enough 5. And in a crowded elevator,I'll start hummin' that ol' song There's no way of knowin' when that urge will come along That's Just Jessie - Kevin Denney Bumping this up. I believe I only saw the 2 guesses, which were correct. Song 3 above is Chely Wright's terrific Shut Up And Drive. Best thing about it is that it has a last verse that is composed entirely of the first line of earlier verses. Pretty much nobody writes songs with that kind of structure. We used to have identify-the-song competitions on the old American Country Countdown board. They were a lot of fun. As you say, the key is that people refrain from looking up the song, and there's no way to enforce that one.

Here's a new batch. A little harder this time.
1. "Then he tied a cord to the end of a mop, and said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot."
2. "I wish Coke was still Cola And a joint was a bad place to be It was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV"
3. "Once she had someone who loved her Back when she was younger Now she wonders if she held out a little bit too long"
4. "And oh I couldn't understand it For I felt I was rich And I told them of the love My momma sewed in every stitch"

Are The Good Times Really Over - Hank Jr. (though I'm more familiar with Wynonna's great cover version) 3. All The Good Ones Are Gone - Pam Tillis 4. Coat Of Many Colors - Dolly Parton

Well, hot damn. Those barely lasted a half hour. I'll give someone else the chance to post some lyrics. Need to think of some that are harder and will last a full hour!

Zazie, if I remember correctly, you came up with a variation of the game, where, instead of typing out a lyric, you would only give the player a single word and they had to come up with a song(s) that contained that word. That was fun as well. Here's an easy one: "Fool, fool, nothing you can do Never gonna see her with the likes of you."

Let's mix it up a bit! "Bro-Country Songs" Do they all blend together or can you pick them out? 1. "You got me high on kisses, you got me missing signs Hard looking left when my world is on my right" zjames2. "Looking at you, looking at me that way, Makes me wanna grab my old guitar and play" zjames3. "Feeling lucky, got hooked up with some Kentucky clear. So slide that little sugar shaker over here" 4. "Let's slip on out where it's a little bit darker And when it gets a little bit hotter We'll take it off on out in the water" @cjbhab 5. "It would be so wrong If we didn’t dance one more song Show off those jeans you painted on" bigfan101Moving on to less "bro"... 6. "And sitting here it's clear to see what he means to you The way you look at him it ain't no mystery" Zazie7. "She said he rebuilds engines and his name is Earl He's the Charlie Daniels of the torque wrench I whispered honey let's just go on home And have some onion rings and watch TV" Andy8. "I could go down to the church Get on my knees and pray But it still won't change the way things really are Won't bring you back again" @cjbhab Album Tracks 9. "I'm finding fast this God forsaken place Is at least two weeks from everywhere" Andy10. "But here I am In this hotel room thinking 'bout you And what I've done" 11. "I used to wake up early every day Just to feel the sunrise on my face Me and my woman in the front porch swing Listening to the morning mockingbird sing" kw946112. "If I ever get down your way If you're ever up around mine - just stop by We'll laugh about the old days" Okay...there's quite a few lol.

These are my favorite one-hit wonders from the past 15 years. 1. It took me by surprise When I saw you standin' there Close enough to touch Andy2. How could that beautiful women with you Be the same freckle face kid that I knew 3. Wondering when the lights going to turn green Never knowing what a couple more bucks In his pocket might mean Andy4. Life is like a circle Slowly turning on itself but girl it took losing you to finally know how bad it felt 5. Should my tender heart be broken I will cry those teardrops knowing I will be just fine @cjbhab
