Johnny Duncan -- Biloxi

[video=youtube;AA0TXUAzXiU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA0TXUAzXiU&feature=related[/video]

Well the sun's coming up
And I'm staring in a cup of tequilla
Trying to find the courage
To turn myself around
And every time I take another sip
I can see her
Looking back at me
Like I might drown

There's a dark-eyed lady lying alone in Biloxi
These miles that I've gone
Are beginning to rattle my bones
Sometimes it takes leaving
For a man to see he was lucky
So Seaboard Highway, take this poor boy home

All I can see up ahead
Is a big lonely highway
Taking me further and further
Away from my home
I was a fool who always
Wanted things my way
I guess it takes time for a fool
To see he was wrong

Straining my eyes
I can almost see the lights of the city
Where the sun is beginning
To fall down into the bay
Oh I don't think I've ever seen her
Looking so pretty
Oh Biloxi,
This time I'm coming home to stay

There's a dark-eyed lady lying alone in Biloxi
These miles that I've gone
Are beginning to rattle my bones
Sometimes it takes leaving
For a man to see he was lucky
So Seaboard Highway, take this poor boy home
Dark-eyed lady, your poor boy's coming home

Tom T. Hall -- Back When Gas Was Thirty Cents A Gallon (1980)

[video=youtube;gbPJ3Q9Tfbs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbPJ3Q9Tfbs[/video]

Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon
America was young and strong and brave
Lord knows that I didn't have much money
And my old car had seen some better days

You were young and precious brand new roses
I was so in love and strong and brave
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon
And love was only sixty cents away

I don't think I'd know you if I'd seen you
I practiced my forgetting till it worked
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon
I didn't know the meaning of hurt

Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon
And sweet magnolias lined those country roads
We'd burn a tank of love most every weekend
And on workdays I'd help them fix the roads

Our friends were many and our dreams were certain
Whoever thought we'd go our separate ways?
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon
And love was only sixty cents away

Saturday morning serials chapters 1 through 15,
Fly paper, penny loafers, Lucky Strike Green.
Flat tops, sock hops, Studebaker, Pepsi Please,
Ahh, do you remember these?

Cigar Bands, on your hand, your daddy's socks rolled down.
Sticks, snow floats and aviator caps with flaps that button down.
Movie stars on Dixie Cup tops, and knickers to your knees,
Ahh, do you remember these?

The Hit Parade, grape Tru-Aid, The Sadie Hawkins Dance,
Pedal pushers, duck tail hair and peggin' your pants.
Howdie-Doodie, Tutti-Frutti, the seam up the back of her hose,
Ahh, do you remember those?

James Dean, he was keen, Sunday movies were taboo,
The Senior Prom, Judy's mom, Rock-n-Roll was new.
Cracker Jack prize, stars in your eyes, as Daddy tore the keys,
Ahh, do you remember these?

The boogey man, lemonade stands, takin' your tonsils out,
Hindenburg, -n- wait your turn, and 4 foul balls you're out.
Cigarette loads, -n- secret codes, -n- savin' lucky stars,
Can you remember back that far?

The boat neck shirts, and fender skirts and crinoline petticoats,
Mum's the word, and a dirty bird and a double root beer float.
Moon hub caps, and loud heel taps, and he's a real gone cat.
Ahh, do you remember that?

Dancin' close, little moron jokes, and cooties in her hair,
Captain Midnight, Ovaltine, and The Whip at the County Fair.
Charles Atlas Course, Roy Roger's Horse, and "only The Shadow knows"
Ahh, do you remember those?

Gable's charm, Frog in your arm, loud mufflers, pitchin' woo,
Going steady, Veronica and Betty, white bucks, and "Blue Suede Shoes"
Knock Knock jokes, and "Who's there?", Dewey, Dewey who?;
Do we, do we remember these? Yes, we do, Ahh do we do we remember these?

Randi Graff -- You Can Always Count On Me

Randi Graff (right) as Oolie in City of Angels

[video=youtube;qZTuNf2nmNs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&NR=1&v=qZTuNf2nmNs[/video]

Lyrics
I'm one of a long line of good girls
Who choose the wrong guy to be sweet on
The girl with the face that's as welcome
That men can wipe their feet on
I'm there when he calls me the trusted Girl Friday all right
But what good does it do me alone on a Saturday night?

If you need a gal to go without salary and work too hard
You can always count on me
The kind of a pal who'd sneak you a file past the prison guard
Loyal to the nth degree
The boss is quite the lady's man and that's my biggest gripe
Till I showed up he'd never hire a girl cause she could type
I'm no femme fatale but faithful and true as a Saint Bernard
Barking up the wrong damn tree. You can always count on me

I don't need a map, I naturally head for the dead end street
You can always count on me
I'm caught in a trap when joy is approaching and I retreat
I'm at home with misery
I've been the Other Woman since my puberty began
I crashed the Junior Prom and met the only married man
I'm always on tap for romance or chocolate that's bittersweet
You can always count on me

A matter of fact if you want an ill-fated love affair
You can always count on me
Though I made a pact to carry out research before I care
Men don't give a warranty
One Joe who swore he's single got me sort of crocked. The beast!
I woke up only slightly shocked that I defrocked a priest
Or else I attract the guys who are longing to do my hair
You can always count on me

I go for the riff raff who's treating me so-so
When I can play the second fiddle I'm a virtuoso
I should be playing for a wedding band
But there's no wedding rings attached
Though you can bet there's strings attached

Though my kind of dame no doubt will die out like the dinosaurs
You can always count on me
I'm solely to blame, my head gives advice that my heart ignores
I'm my only enemy
I choose the kind who cannot introduce the girl he's with
There's lots of smirking motel clerks who call me "Mrs. Smith"
But I've made a name with hotel detectives who'll break down doors
Guess who they expect to see? You can always count on me

The Ross Sisters performed as a 3-part harmony trio wherein they also danced and did acrobatics and contortionism."
