Some guys will be old school no matter what year it is. Mr. John Prine.
Considered a rock band, but defitately a country vibe in there on most tracks, especially this one.
And just discovered they did this one.
I’m not lying about this. It’s a fact.
[quote]Pour me another cup of coffee,
For it is the best in the land.
I’ll put a nickel in the jukebox
And play “The Truck Drivin’ Man.”[/quote]
[quote]I got me ten forward gears
And a Georgia overdrive.
I’m taking little white pills,
And my eyes are open wide.
I just passed a Jimmy and a White.
I’ve been a-passin’ everything in sight.
Six days on the road and I’m a-gonna make it home tonight. [/quote]
[quote]Grape wine in a mason jar,
Homemade and brought to school
By a friend of mine after class.
Me and him and this other fool
Decided that we’ll drink up whats left,
Chug-a-lug so I helped myself.
First time for everything.
Mmm! My ears still ring.[/quote]
[quote]Third boxcar, midnight train;
Destination: Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out suit and shoes,
I don’t pay no union dues.
I smoke old stogies I have found–
Short, but not too big around.
I’m a man of means by no means,
King of the road.[/quote]

[quote]We can share the women, we can share the wine
We can share what we got of yours, 'cause we done shared all of mine
Keep on rolling, just a mile to go
Keep on rolling, my old buddy, you’re moving much too slow
I just jumped the watchman right outside the fence
Took his rings, four bucks in change, ain’t that heaven sent
Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon, burns my eyes to see
Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon, might as well be me
We used to play for silver now we play for life (note 2)
And one’s for sport, and one’s for blood at the point of a knife
And now the die has shaken, now the die must fall
There ain’t a winner in the game
He don’t go home with all, not with all
Leaving Texas, fourth day of July
Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky
Catch the Detroit Lightning out of Santa Fe
The Great Northern out of Cheyenne, from sea to shining sea (note 3)
Gotta go to Tulsa, first train we can ride
Gotta settle one old score, one small point of pride
There ain’t a place a man can hide, Shannon, will keep him from the sun
Ain’t a bed can give us rest now, you keep us on the run
Jack Straw from Wichita cut his buddy down
And dug for him a shallow grave, and laid his body down
Half a mile from Tucson, by the morning light
One man gone and another to go
My old buddy you’re moving much too slow
We can share the women we can share the wine[/quote]

gets me every time this one
This is one of the songs that I used to sing to my son when he was first born. On those nights when he wouldn’t sleep, I used to play this and a number of other country songs, quietly singing them to him and he would quiet right down.
Sometimes I come across lines in a song that really strike me as amazing. This song has one of them.
Pickin up hookers, instead of my pen
I let the words of my youth fade away.
Simply amazing
Here’s another one
Artist: Ralph Stanley
Track: O Death (a pre-1980 - probably pre-1800 - Appalachian dirge)
[quote]Well, I’m goin’ down to Florida, and get some sand in my shoes,
Or maybe Californy, and get some sand in my shoes.
I’ll ride that Orange Blossom Special, and lose these New York blues.[/quote]

Now, that’s old school. Nice one, flike.
Mr. Jones is most assuredly on heavy rotation on my player these daze.
[quote]But I burned all my bridges,
And I sunk all my ships,
And I’m stranded at the edge of the sea. [/quote]
