No Surprize - Aerosmith


Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire   

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire 

Viva Las Vegas  --  Elvis Presley


Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll
From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl
'N you climb up the mountains 'n you fall down the holes    

All the Way From Memphis - Mott the Hoople


Well I'm New York City born and raised  
But nowadays I'm lost between two shores  


  

Well I'm New York City born and raised  
But nowadays I'm lost between two shores

I Am I Said - Neil Diamond

It was out at the crossroads, down round Willow bank
Seen a Buick with Ohio plates behind the wheel was Frank

Highway Patrolman - Bruce Springsteen

Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty

Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty

Paradise City  --  Guns N' Roses


Come Sunday morning there's a market on the square 
Children are playing, bells are ringing in the air
Old men are drinking, it's a lazy afternoon
Content with thinking that there is nothing to do     

Quiet Town - Josh Rouse. Nice job with the Q

He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin' home to a place he'd never been before

He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin' home to a place he'd never been before

Rocky Mountain High  --  John Denver


Got on board a westbound 747
Didn't think before deciding what to do
All that talk of opportunities,
TV breaks and movies,  
Rang true, sure rang true     

It Never Rains in Southern California - Albert Hammond

And brother married Becky Thompson
They bought a store in Tupelo

And brother married Becky Thompson
They bought a store in Tupelo

Ode To Billy Joe - Bobbie Gentry

On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert
I pick up my money and head back into town

On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert
I pick up my money and head back into town

The Promised Land  --  Bruce Springsteen


Well, that goes to show you what a moon can do
No more bridge from Tuesday to Friday
Everbody's gone high society
Hope lost his head and got off on alligators 
     

Moonlight on Vermont - Captain Beefheart.

Say baby you'll be mine 'cause its kissin' time
Gonna twist again like remember when
Sleepin. on the beach, seven days a week
Rockin' every night 'til the early bright

Say baby you'll be mine 'cause its kissin' time
Gonna twist again like remember when
Sleepin. on the beach, seven days a week
Rockin' every night 'til the early bright

Wildwood days - Bobby Rydell

I had heard the whispered tales
Of immortality
The deepest mystery
From an ancient book. I took a clue

Of immortality
The deepest mystery
From an ancient book. I took a clue

Xanadu  --  Rush


Well he woke up that morning
And he called into work
Put on his daddy's old suit
With a second hand shirt
All untucked, shoes untied
The people all snickered as he walked by         

Yuma - Justin Earle Townes

And the elephants are kindly but their dumb
Orangutangs are skeptical of changes in their cages

And the elephants are kindly but their dumb
Orangutangs are skeptical of changes in their cages

At The Zoo  --  Simon and Garfunkel


So great an area of land that from her western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South
And the North Americas with ease
In their ships with painted sails
To the East, Africa was a neighbor
Across a short strait of sea miles 
  
      

Atlantis - Donovan. Nice Triple A too

Marble on the floor, cocaine in her drsser
Bars on her doors, she keeps her back against the wall
She keeps her back against th wall
So i say

Runnin' home to some small Ohio town
Jesus send some good women to save all your clowns

Runnin' home to some small Ohio town
Jesus send some good women to save all your clowns
And Circus Boy dances like a monkey on barbed wire  --  I've always had the crazy image of a very young Mickey Dolenz on this line, the few times I've heard this old gem.  If Bruce had spelled it Monkee, I would have flipped.

Wild Billy's Circus Story  --  Bruce Springsteen


Next Lyrics: One of my favorite songs by this band.  I'll bet that you guys know who actually wrote this well written song.
Bonus points if you know the area that was the inspiration for the song.

Your local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn this song
To serenade the weekend squire
Just came out to mow his lawn          

Your local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn this song
To serenade the weekend squire
Just came out to mow his lawn  

Pleasant Valley Sunday - The Monkees

I DID know that Carole King and Gerry Goffin had written this gem.
But I do not deserve the bonus points because I had to look up that part of the question.
West Orange, New Jersey!
I'll bet clean knew that one!

And Cobra, I will now forever think of Mickey Dolenz when I listen to Bruce's Circus Story.
Hilarious!

Queens
Mom's cooking chicken and collard greens
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese

Christmas in Hollis, (a section of Queens) - Run DMC


The come, sit by my side if yuou love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
Just remember the ----
And the cowboy who loved you so true
