Its time for Round 5 of the song-identity game. These songs all begin with the letter H or I. Here are the rules: - All songs are once again in alphabetical order - the first 11 songs begin with the letter H - songs 12 through 16 begin with the word I (e.g., I Shot the Sheriff) - identify both the song title and the artist - most songs are by popular artists of the 50s through the 90s Let’s see if you can get all 24 this time (There are still unanswered song lyrics from previous editions.) 1. “Its not for lack of bread, like the Grateful Dead” 2. “Better catch the blue caboose” 3. “I’ll gallup to you, tonight, tonight we ride” 4. “And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy” 5. “Come and take me, take me by the hand” 6. “Jackknife, in your sweaty hands” 7. “When I’m not with you I lose my mind” 8. 'When you take me in your arms and drive me slowly out of my mind" 9. “Woman you want me. Give me a sign.” 10. “I know you… don’t know what I’m going through” 11. “She broke my heart but I love her just the same” 12. “Breaking rocks in the hot sun” 13. “They say that old lovers can be good friends” 14. “I can’t control my fingers; I can’t control my brain” 15. “I see that lonely ribbon in your hair” 16. “I wasted all that precious time, and blamed it on the wine” 17. “I’ve had good days and bad days, and going half-mad days” 18. “I don’t know where we went wrong, but the feeling’s gone, and I just can’t get it back” 19. “Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours” 20. “Now on the day that John Wayne died, I found myself on the continental divide” 21. “If a man ever needed dying, he did.” 22. “Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues” 23. “I was the prince of the paupers, crowned downtown at the beggar’s bash” 24. “Light a candle, light a votive, step down, step down” ---
