I have to admit wipala got me with songs that at one time I listened to daily. Who would have thought I could be stumped by a Skynerd song? A popular one at that. It's almost embarassing. I figured I'd toss a few out that were a touch harder. All are from between 1969 and the early 1980's.
1)Father says your mothers right, she's really up on things. Before we married.......
2)Workin' on mysteries without any clues....
3) Someday girl, I don't know when, we're gonna get to that place , where we really want to go..............
4) Away from the sellers, the papers said
Your crown was tight and heavy on your head
Still you danced and you sang-........
5)As I was walking down the street one day A pretty lady.......
I've got a few pin vises left. First one who finishes the lyrics and names the correct titles and the bands gets one.

Zebrahead Lyrics
Surrender
Mother told me, yes she told me
I'd meet girls like you
She also told me stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's going 'round
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Father says your mother's right
She's really up on things
Before we married Mommy served
On the WACs in the Philippines
Now I had heard the WACs recruited
Old maids for the war
But Mommy isn't one of those
I've known her all these years
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year
Every time I got to thinking
Then they disappear
When I woke up, Mom and Dad
Were bleenin' on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling
Got my Kiss records out
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Away..........
zebraheads members were in diapers when I was listening to that song on the top 100. LOL

Born To Run Lyrics
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
and steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
and strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
`Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild
girl I want to know if love is real
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when
we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go
and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us
baby we were born to run
You'd rather have wine than gin
Only the finest by your skin
Always running after Time - catching
You're fancy with rhyme
Shining on the front page again
Hot on the presses today - little queen
Making your passion play - little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind -
Little queen
Away from the sellers, the papers said
Your crown was tight and heavy on your head
Still you danced and you sang - all night
The telephone rang
Music kept on playing from your pen.
Hot on the presses today - little queen
Making your passion play - little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind -
Little queen
Raining Raining- he knows your Soul ain't free
Raining Raining- he feels you little queen
Slipping away with your gypsy band
Hot on your music and playing a winning hand
He was standing in the line, thinking how you
Moved his mind
Feeling like he held you in his hand
Words and Music by Bob Seger
I was a little too tall
Could've used a few pounds
Tight pants points hardly reknown
She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sitting way up high
Way up firm and high
Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy
Workin' on mysteries without any clues
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves
In the summertime
In the sweet summertime
We weren't in love, oh no, far from it
We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Livin' by the sword
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me
But neither one cared
We were gettin' our share
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin' on our night moves
And it was summertime
And oh the wonder
We felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder
I awoke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in
As I was walking down the street one day, a man came up to me
and asked me what the time was that was on my watch, yeah, and I said-
Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?
If so, I can't imagine why we've all got time enough to cry.
And I was walking down the street one day. A pretty lady looked at me
and said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead and I said,
Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?
If so, I can't imagine why we've all got time enough to cry.
And I was walking down the street one day (people running everywhere).
Being pushed and shoved (don't know where to go)
by people trying to beat the clock (don't know where I am)
oh, no I just don't know (can't see past the next step),
I don't know (don't have time to think past the last mile),
I don't know, (have no time to look around),
And I said, yes I said (just run around, run around and think why)-
Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?
If so, I can't imagine why we've all got time enough to die. Everybody's running.
BTW. Chicago wasn't Chicago when that song was released in 1969. They were "The Chicago Transit Authority".
