City of New Orleans sung by Cash is a great one. And naturally, "I walk the line" though its waaaay too short of song.

I love songs about horses, railroads, land, judgement day, family, hard times, whiskey, courtship, marriage, adultery, separation, murder, war, prison, rambling, damnation, home, salvation, death, pride, humor, piety, rebellion, patriotism, larceny, determination, tragedy, rowdiness, heartbreak, and love. And Mother. And God.

"I got it one peice at a time" I think is the name. You're right it is a good song and funny, too.

well I woke up Sunday morning
with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt

and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
so I had one more for dessert

I don't think he wrote it, but I always liked his "Sunday Morning Coming Down"

But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

Post by: MrBill on December 13, 2002, 06:22:33 PM: hehehe Ripsnort reminded me of a old joke.

When ex-President Clinton stepped off of Air Force One a couple years ago in Washington with a pig under each arm after returning from a trip to Arkansas, the Secret Service officer at the bottom of the ramp inquired about the pigs. Clinton replied, ''they're genuine Arkansas Razorbacks. I got them for Hilary and Chelsea.''
The Secret Service officer replied, ''good trade, sir.''

sikboy:
I think "Sunday Morning Coming Down" was written by Kris Kristofferson.

I remember reading about that line as being quite a controversial discussion in the more moral/censorship aspect of Radio and the FCC back when that song was popular..but it was still played...imagine if those censors fast forwarded to a Rap song on the radio today! :eek: :eek:
