I make a rich woman beg
I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush
And make a young girl squeal
I wanna be yours pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey
That I'm bad to the bone

(Name that tune!)
 
I make a rich woman beg
I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush
And make a young girl squeal
I wanna be yours pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey
That I'm bad to the bone

(Name that tune!)
you should have left out the last line.....
 
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
 
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme...

Excellent strings, especially when you're 17 :)
 
I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder
You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset river bank first time feeling
 
I have to post all of this one because the whole song is so funny

Let me be your mailman and I'll always come through.
There's no denyin', come rain or shine, I'll deliver my love to you.
I do things by the letter, you can put your stamp on me
'Cause there ain't nobody better for a special delivery.

[Chorus:]
Like a pony express in the wild, wild west, I'll ride hard all night long.
And I can saddle up fast, get you there first class long before the dawn.
You know your mail's gonna get to you come snow, rain, sleet or hail
'Cause I'm a top flight, hold-you-tight,
Get-you-there-by-daylight, do-you-right overnight male.

I know your heart is fragile, so I'll handle it with care.
There ain't no doubt, I know love's route, so baby let me take you there.
I'll bring you cards and flowers, but I know just what you need.
Just give me 24-hours satisfaction guarantee.

[Chorus]

Yeah I'm a top flight, hold you tight,
Get you there by daylight, do you right overnight male.
 
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky.
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

That was written back when songs painted a picture you could actually see in your mind and feel.
 
I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something
Something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry
Well, I coulda been an actor
But I wound up here
I just have to look good
I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around
We got the bubble headed
Bleached blonde
Comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry.........
 
I make a rich woman beg
I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush
And make a young girl squeal
I wanna be yours pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey
That I'm bad to the bone

(Name that tune!)

Oh DOH!! That's funny, and I forgot I even created this thread!!!
 
Most times you can't hear them talk, other times ya can.
It's that same old cliche,
Is that a woman or a man.

You always see my number,
But ya don't dare make a stand

Love Don Henley. Here's my favorite by him:

Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back"
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-
 
Most times you can't hear them talk, other times ya can.
It's that same old cliche,
Is that a woman or a man.

You always see my number,
But ya don't dare make a stand

My husband's song :)
He is a wise man
And, Sbiker that's Seger :D

I've done a LOT of hitchhiking and I always sang that to myself, walking the dark interstate
 
You just can't beat country for clever lyrics

Ants on a log
Floatin down a river
Runnin around
But not gettin anywhere
Powerstearin wheels
Just ain't connected
And we can't jump off like flees on a dog
Can't fly away like flies on a hog
We're really just along for the ride like ants on a log
 
Here is another. Great words of wisdom. Sounds just like something my grandfather would have said
Don't ever sell your saddle
Never owe another man
Watch where you spit on a windy day
Don't use words you don't understand
Find the Lord before you need him
And never lose your pride
Don't ever sell your saddle
'Cause life's a long, long ride.
 
I there a better angry, bitter song than this....?:

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity?
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
And are you thinking of me when you f**k her?
 
Now I'm not gonna jump to conclusions,
Or throw away this perfect romance,
Even though I saw him dancing last night
With a girl in leopard skin pants.
Oh he's probably stuck in traffic,
And he'll be here in a little while.
Just call me Cleopatra, everybody,
Cause I'm the Queen of Denial.
 
"Yes, I received your letter yesterday
about the time the doorknob broke.
When you asked how I was doing,
Was that some kind of joke?

All these people that you mentioned.
Yes, I know them, they"re quite lame.
I had to rearrange their faces,
and give them all another name.

Right now, I don't read too good.
Don't send me no more letters, no.
Not unless you mail them from
Desolation Row."

Dylan
