Name the song the line is from Part II

"Make Someone Happy" by Da Schnozz or Sinatra- either one's a classic.

"And it don't take money, don't take fame,
Don't need no credit card to ride this train,"

...that's the Power Of Love- Huey Lewis

here ya go, kids...

Just a hopeless situation
Make the best of it's all you can do

Just a hopeless situation
Make the best of it's all you can do


I know quite a few songs by this artist, but I didn't remember this one (I googled).

Bardolator?

They don't make you take a test before you put on the uniform. It's easy to guess who wrote the lines, but this parrotbrain has never heard that song.

Fridays/ No Planes on Sunday.

TB is slowly brainwashing me because He sent me a MP3 player fully loaded- it's been on "shuffle" since i got it and he had the foresight to add what was (he thought) lacking in my own personallly requests.
I had one of the kids from IT load the MP3 player into my computer so now I can listen to seperate albums w/ only a click AND know what I'm listening too. I will never be a Parrothead but Jimmy's good w/ a lyric, I'll give him that but he ain't no Leonard Cohen...

this is what's playing now:
so,, NAME THAT SONG

There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white man and long before the wheel
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
But time has no beginnings and hist'ry has no bounds
As to this verdant country they came from all around
They sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tall
And they built the mines the mills and the factories for the good of us all

And when the young man's fancy had turned into the spring
The railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring
Their minds were overflowing with the visions of their day
With many a fortune won and lost and many a debt to pay

For they looked in the future and what did they see
They saw an iron road runnin' from sea to the sea
Bringin' the goods to a young growin' land
All up through the seaports and into their hands

Look away said they across this mighty land
From the eastern shore to the western strand
Bring in the workers and bring up the rails
We gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trails
Open 'er heart let the life blood flow
Gotta get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow

Bring in the workers and bring up the rails
We're gonna lay down the tracks and tear up the trails
Open 'er heart let the life blood flow
Gotta get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow
Get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow

Behind the blue Rockies the sun is declinin'
The stars, they come stealin' at the close of the day
Across the wide prairie our loved ones lie sleeping
Beyond the dark oceans in a place far away

If Jimmy Buffet's lyrics are identifiable, so too are those of this artist.

It's Gordon Lightfoot, doing his Canadian Railroad Trilogy. You gotta love Gordo.


From 1977:

Got you in my arms
And it's paradise
'Til the morning light

Good Morning All,

I like Gordon Lightfoot in small doses. But is “Gordo” really his nickname? He doesn’t look too chubby to me.

Thanks, Jim. Your latest one reminds me of an assignment in my high school American English class. I can’t believe to this day that someone would interpret the lyrics to that one, Duh!


It’s “I like dreamin’” by Kenny Nolan.

Let’s go back to the early 60s:

The tears I cry for you, could fill an ocean.
But you don't care how many tears I cry.
And though you only lead me on and hurt me.
I couldn't bring myself to say goodbye.

"Everybody's Somebody's Fool," by Connie Francis.

Can't think of anything right now ...

Then I'ma jumpin' in fer ma Sue...

She's been lookin' like a
queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say
what she really means

Not sure, but is that called "Sundown?"
