~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.

Nice! (I think that I’ve sung many a song out of that songbook.)

When I was living in Little Rock and taking the bus home to Ohio for various holidays, I made a game of it. I started in LR with Ferlin Husky’s “I Hear Little Rock Callin.’” Next was Memphis, I never really chose a song for Memphis because there are so many. But I really love Lonnie Mack. And Roy Drusky’s “Memphis Morning” is an obscure beauty.

Sometimes there were smaller stops, there was occasionally Jackson, TN, but I never took that one seriously, always assumed “Jackson” was about Jackson, MS. (Of course, I was aware Denise LaSalle lived in TN, and might have gone for one of her songs, but I don’t really know any of them. She’s slightly outside my era.) Another small stop in Tennessee reminded me of “Phanton 309.”

Onward, we arrived in Nashville, and I always loved Ray Stevens’ song “Nashville.” (Johhny Cash is at the Ryman, Boots is at the Carousel, God is smilin down from heaven, aw, Mayor Briley’s doin’ well) Next was Leroy Van Dyke’s “Louisville,” depending on the year and the route, we also had the Everly Brothers’ “Bowling Green,” then Connie Smith’s “Cincinnati, Ohio.” The bus would still stop in Columbus and Zanesville but I don’t know any songs about them.
