~Favorite City Songs~





Kings of Leon - Manhattan live


Well
I could dance all night
And some of the day
That's how I play
That's how I play

I say who are you
No matter who you are
So you dance all night
And you dance all day

I say
I say

Gonna build a fire
Gonna smoke it up
Gonna sip this wine
And pass the cup

These avenues and
these reseviors
We gonna show this town
How to kiss these stars

I say
I say

You've come to kill
Gonna spend it high
Your parents grieve
I know they are right

And then talking to you
Well they calm you down
So it's all for you
who let you down

I say
I say
I say
I say

Just wanna take you hand
I'm gonna drive you home
Just gonna keep on
Keep on, keep on
And you gonna have a rest

George Strait - Amarillo By Morning


"Amarillo By Morning"

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone. Everything that I've got is just what I've got on. When that sun is high in that Texas sky I'll be bucking it to county fair. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo I'll be there.

They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe. Lost my wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way. Well I'll be looking for eight when they pull that gate, And I'm hoping that judge ain't blind. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's on my mind.

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone. Everything that I've got is just what I've got on. I ain't got a dime, but what I got is mine. I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be.

There have been some good ones so far.

But no one seems to have mentioned Linda Ronstadt's cover of Willin'

Personally, among locations mentioned in the song; I have been in Dallas, Tuscon, Tucumcari, Tehachapi (there is a truck scale there on the Westbound side, and they are grim-faced and serious at that one, no joke) and Tonapah, but I never smuggled smokes, nor folks from Mexico, although I have driven backroads to avoid having them take a peek at my logbook...

Weeds (cigarettes), whites, and wine can work, minus the the whites and the wine, in fact is absolutely necessary, but keep the coffee coming. The Colombian at the Pilot TS's is usually drinkable.
