- Name the song that the lyrics belong to and/or someone who performed that song.
- I will turn the lyrics to black as I notice that they have been answered correctly.
- Feel free to mention the ones that you knew but didn't get a chance to answer.
1)Born in the heat of the desert- My mother died giving me life- Despised and disliked by my father -Blamed for the loss of his wife -(performed live by a man they nicknamed "The King.")
2) When I was young-I never needed anyone
3) You are the one -who can make us all laugh-But doing that -you break out in tears.(Lead singer of the group that performed this song was Steve Winwood).
4) Mm-mm, you can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell.
5) The canvas can do miracles-Just you wait and see.
6) My old man worked 20 years on the line and they let him go.-Now everywhere he goes out looking for work they just tell him that he's too old.
7)There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know.
8) When it all was over-We had to find another place-But Swiss time was running out-It seemed that we would lose the race.
9) Well, I’ve got to run to keep from hiding-And I'm bound to keep on riding.
10) People say I'm the life of the party-Cause I tell a joke or two
11) I was caught- In the middle of a railroad track -I looked round-And I knew there was no turning back -------
12)But your thoughts will soon be wandering -the way they always do- When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do.

Larry,
I actually knew one for a change, #10 which ruthie j already sung, but it was done before Linda R. by Smokie Robinson I think?
Vern
OK - I think number 1 was performed by Marty Robbins, and it would be My Woman My Woman My Wife. Right?
RuthieJ-You hit some good ones.
Vern-That's the version I was thinking of too.
Mary Carlson-Could be some of the same Lyrics-I was thinking of a song done by an icon singer in concert.-maybe more than one title-I'll check it out.
No Mary C. that's not it-I looked at the lyrics and it is a nice song though.
7. Mack the knife made popular by Bobby Darrin but I like the earlier version by Louis Armstrong
10. I only know the Smokey Robbinson too.
6. Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen
Oh, oh, oh...
12. Bob Seger's Turn the Page!!
I only knew #2 and #10. I'm terrible at this game. Maybe I should turn off the TV and radio when I play ...
9- Midnight Rider, The Allman Brothers
Wooah, no one has identified No's 8 and 11 yet??
I sang this one while I was in a band during my high school times:
Smoke on the Water - and fire in the sky
And gosh, have I been ... Warbler ... errr ... Thunderstruck!
And isn't No 12 the one where he sings "Here I go, on the road again, here I go, turn the page"? Don't know the name though but am pretty sure, the classic song for long night drives alone ...
Jayne-very good!Glad to have your participation.
Mary-that's o.k.-there's room for spectators too!
Deb-you've got it!
Jochen-Got em both!
