Unanswered lines from Part 1


- 1) "I'm too terrified to walk out of my own front door....They're demonstrating outside I think they're gonna start the third world war"

- 2) "Oh I'd rather be there...Where you haven't got a care...And you're better off dead...
Although it doesn't seem fair"

- 3) "Most of the cats that you meet on the streets speak of true love
Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home
One of these days they know they better get goin'
Out of the door and down on the streets all alone" (answered)

- 4) "When you're down, on your luck, and you can't harmonize" (answered)

- 5) "Oh, the moon and stars no longer shine....The dream is gone I thought was mine....
There's nothing left for me to do....But cry-y-y-y over you (cry over you)" (answered)

- 6) "There's so many pretty people in the city, I swear, some of them are girls.
I meet 'em down at Barney's Beanery...With their platform heels and spit curls.
I buy 'em drinks, we smoke our hopes...Try and make it one more night.
But when I'm left all alone at last, I feel like I'll die from fright" (answered)

- 7) "Throw out them LA papers....And that moldy box of vanilla wafers
Adios to all this concrete....Gonna get me some dirt road back street" (answered)

- 8) "He was sitting up there for more than an hour...Way up there on the Texas Tower
Shooting from the twenty-seventh floor...Yahoo!" (answered)

- 9) "He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk" (answered)

- 10) "Well I get up every morning about 7 O'Clock,
Catch the 9:02 and I make several stops.
I keep the conversation and my pattern light,
I hit the elevator, Oh I feel all right"

- 11) "Now I send what I can to the man with the diamond ring.
He's a part of Heaven's plan, and he sure can sing.

3. A truly great Jerry Jeff Walker song!

written by the truly great singer-songwriter, Guy Clark
My favorite Guy Clark song! [I also love "Partner That Nobody Chose]

Another great one that Jerry Jeff has recorded is Ray Wylie Hubbard's "Redneck Mother"
