A fairly easy one: 1. “He won’t quit because you know there’s no such word as fail to . . .” Possibly harder: 1. “He’s off and flyin’ as he guns the car around the track, He’s jammin’ down the pedal like he’s never comin’ back” Something contemporary: 26.“But I don’t care 'cause all I want to do, Is cash my check and drive right home to you.” ---
