He drank his first strong liquor then
to calm his shaking hand
And tried to tell himself at last
he had become a man

What’s Your Momma’s Name, Child - Tanya Tucker

Thirty some odd years ago, a young man came to Memphis.
Asking 'bout a rose that used to blossom in his world.
People never too the time to mind the young man’s questions,
Until one day they heard him ask a little green-eyed girl

Team 2

Well a young ** man*…
ain’t got nothin in the world these days
I say a young ** man**…
ain’t got nothin in the world these days
I say in the old days…
A young ** man** was a strong man
All the people- they stepped BAAAACK!
When a young ** man** walked by*

What’ll You Do About Me, Randy Travis

All you wanted was a one-night stand
The fire of the wine and the touch of a man
But I fell in love and ruined all of your plans
What’Il you do about me?

Team 2

Impudent mortal wormcast
Do you truly aspire to prevail against me?
Long before man hurled himself squamously from the primordial ooze,
I waged war with gods and thwarted eternity!

PS There really needs to be a “Longest Song Title” game. I’m pretty confident this would at least make the top three.

A Man Ain’t Made of Stone, Randy Travis

A man ain’t made of stone
A man ain’t made of steel
The way I feel right now
I thought I’d never feel
Sometimes all it takes
Is facing the night alone
And that’s when you know
A man ain’t made of stone

Team 2

Ah, I’d love to wear a rainbow every day
and tell the world that everything’s OK,
But I’ll try to carry off a little darkness on my back
'till things are brighter, I’m the man in black

Forest For The Trees, Huey Lewis and the News

[i[When you’re a young man, down and out
You really need someone to help you out
It looks like life or death is your only choice
It’s really hard to see
The forest for the trees
The forest for the trees*

Team 2

But until
I can find me
A girl who’ll stay
And won’t play
Games behind me

I’ll be what I am
A solitary MAN

Particle Man, Particle Man
Doin’ the things a particle can
What’s he like, it’s not important
Particle Man
Is he a dot or is he a speck?
When he’s underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows. Particle Man.

(still on) Team One:

Now when I was a little boy,
At the age of five,
I had somethin’ in my pocket,
Kept a lot of folks alive.
Now I’m a man,
I spell M-A-Nman.

Simple As That, Huey Lewis and the News

You pay your bills the best that you can
But the rising cost sure hurts a family man
While the rich man gets fat
it’s as simple as that

Day after day
Alone on a hill
A man with a foolish grin
Is keeping perfectly still

Now, there’s a simulpost for you. We should get to make a wish or something, na?

I wish for a peanut butter sandwich. :wink:

I’ve lost track - what’s the time limit?

In some alternate universe you’ve already had a peanut butter sandwich. With a big, cold glass of whatever you’d like.

Do we need to post again or do they still owe us one since we gave a 2fer?

Two hours.
