Here’s how it works: someone gives a line from ANY song, and the next person gives title and artist before giving their line. Make sure to ID who you are answering in case things get mixed up. Don’t look them up unless you have to, please.
With that, here’s the first 5:
B1: Some say we’re born into the grave…
B2: Smelling like a dry fishbone…
B3: Same as my daddy and his daddy before…
B4: Not afraid to paint my sky…
B5: 30 days, Lord, and 30 nights…
And we’re off!
“Copperhead Road,” by Steve Earle
I wish I knew some of the songs, brianjedi. I wish astorian had posted some after answering the Steve Earle line.
You can post some of your own if you want to help things out, just make sure that you put an ID in front of them to help keep things straight.
E1: “…I see you walking real slow, smiling at everyone”
Boys of Summer by Don Henley
B1: “…cool cat, lookin’ for a kitty/Gonna look in every corner of the city…”

kd1: “Just as I crossed the Mississippi Line, I heard the highway start to whine, and I knew my left rear tire was about to go.”

Don’t forget that mine are still up there.
kd2: “After all, who am I? Just an ordinary guy, tryin’ hard to win me first prize.”
kd3: “Yes, and I’ve often felt forsaken, and certainly misused.”
kd4: “There’s one perfect fit, and sugar, this one is it.”
kd5: “And people tend to pass you over, 'cause you’re not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water, or stars in the sky.”
Yes, well done.
Quite so.
B5 (from brianjedi) The Needle and the Spoon by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Gee. You guys pick ones that are too hard!

And a million for you

W5: Wishin’ I could thank you in a different way, c’mon

I am just a poor boy.
Though my story’s seldom told,
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles,
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.

Gyan9, your G- is The Boxer, by Simon and Garfunkel.
Try to challenge us a little. Don’t put an entire verse down, even if you do think the verse is so beautiful it needs to be carved in marble on every man-made structure on the planet.
Heat Miser, you’re going to hurt my feelings, walking all over my correct answer like that. Not Joe Cocker. Lovin’ Spoonful.
Please accept my most humble apologies; I don’t know how I missed seeing your answer there.
