1. _No. 29_ - Steve Earle
2. _American Pie_ - Don McLean
3. 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero - Bobby Russell
4. Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor) - Robert Palmer

“You had me down, 21 to zip” - almost undoubtedly an American football reference, as it’s a recognizable three-touchdown lead, and a score (21-0) that would be uncommon in most other popular sports. And, though Palmer was English, the song was written by Oklahoma native Moon Martin.
