Okay, here's the first and second line.

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing.

Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin.

"Watching the Wheels Go Round" by John Lennon

A little gospel going to church music:

"Will the Circle Be Unbroken" - so many artists...

Willie Nelson, Arlo Guthrie, June Carter, Leon Russell, Greg Allman, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band....

New Song:

People say I'm no good, and crazy as a loon

I wasn't exactly thinking Bobby Goldsboro, but yeah, it was Gentle on My Mind.

Your turn :)

As soon as I read this answer I knew who you were thinking of (Waysider confirmed it.)

I've seen the bright lights of Memphis

I'm thrilled you didn't pass it up - that's one of my alltime favorite video recordings of John - LOVE Roy Husky Jr. too. Made my day!

dooj - I thought you was funnin me :confused:

Nope, I was dead serious (but wrong.) I thought (I was wrong) that it really was Bobby, but I just checked and it was Glen Campbell who I remembered singing that song.

I really loved John H's version better than the Glen Campbell song that I heard back when Gawd made dirt. (Well I found this old thing I'd never seen before called a re-re-rec-record...it was made of some kind of plastic and had these grooves... I hear they used to get music from these things with a needle :o )

;) :biglaugh:

And the Commodore Hotel

Dixie Chicken - Little Feat

This is one of those songs that sticks in my head for days. It didn't get me the first line, but that Commodore Hotel - that was when I recognized the song!

Well, I went home with the waitress
