"Much Too Young To Feel This Damn Old" Garth Brooks
(A perfect country song - truck drivin', honkey tonkin', lovin' and leavin', and it even mentions Denver - dang - they just don't make songs this *country* anymore...)
I didn't appreciate country music much until I was a WOW in Nashville. Even then, it wasn't really my thing, but you heard it everywhere you went. Rather than elevator music, you heard Garth Brooks, Brooks & Dunn, and Sawyer Brown in the malls and supermarkets (Piggly Wiggly - good lord)... So, it sort of grew on me. Some country is what's now called "break through" - as in, it's appealing to the pop and rock crowds - that's the sorta thing I like.
I did grow up listening to country because of my parents... My mother is the only person I know who can't name ONE Beatles' song. Sad. But man, I can tell you every old Waylan, Willie, and Reba song there ever was...
Tom - the song isn't really country... more folk, really... and you're close...
I didn't even KNOW there was a song with that title. NOW that I've googled it, I see that Johnny Horton sang it, whoever he is. I feel like Clark Griswald, inadvertently winning a game show. Well...
Well, when I get the paper, I read it through and through.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you. I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me Once upon a time, IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. It mig

OMG! I was only half right. I kept turning that tune over and over-and it hit me.
Paul Simon-Duncan!!!!! I loved that song and it's been ages since I've heard it.
For some reason-I always thought about ROA when I'd hear that song.
Ok-here goes!

More....
"called the house but no one answered
For the last two weeks no one's been home
I guess she's through with me, to tell the truth I
just can't see
What's kept the woman holding on this long"

...if it's country I just have to 'watch from the sidelines'... but that's OK!
That sounds like one of those songs from the long gone days of my youth Chas...
Kind of like 'the ballad of the Alamo' or 'the ballad of Davy Crockett'... (but I know it's not them)
...I kind of can hear it in my head though...

They knew she couldn't last.
That mighty German battleship is just a memory.

If it were a movie, I'd guess "Sink the Bismark." I don't recognize the song at all.

Yes, that's correct!
Sink The Bismark Lyrics
In may of nineteen forty-one the war had just begun
The germans had the biggest ships
That had the biggest guns
The Bismark was the fastest ship
That ever sailed the seas
On her deck were guns as big as steers
And shells as big as trees
Out of the cold and foggy night
Came the british ship the Hood
And ev'ry british seaman he knew and understood
They had to sink the Bismark the terror of the sea
Stop those guns as bid as steers
And those shells as big as trees
We'll find that german battleship
That's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismark
'Cause the world depends on us
Hit the decks a-runnin' boys
And spin those guns around
When we find the Bismark we gotta cut her down
The Hood found the Bismark and on that fatal day
The Bismark started firin' fifteen miles away
We gotta sink the Bismark was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away
The mighty Hood went down
For six long days and weary nights
They tried to find her trail
Churchill told the people put ev'ry ship a-sail
'Cause somewhere on that ocean
I know she's gotta be
We gotta sink the Bismark to the bottom of the sea
We'll find that german battleship
That's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismark
'Cause the world depends on us
Hit the decks a-runnin' boys
And spin those guns around
When we find the Bismark we gotta cut her down
The fog was gone the seventh day
And they saw the mornin' sun
Ten hours away from homeland
The Bismark made its run
The admiral of the british fleet said
Turn those bows around
We found that german battleship
And we're gonna cut her down
The british guns were aimed
And the shells were comin' fast
The first shell hit the Bismark
They knew she couldn't last
That mighty german battleship is just a memory
Sink the Bismark was the battle cry
That shook the seven seas
We found that german battleship
Was makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismark
'Cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a-runnin' and
We spun those guns around
We found the mighty Bismark
And then we cut her down
We found that german battleship
Was makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismark
'Cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a-runnin' and
We spun those guns around
We found the mighty Bismark
And then we cut her down
George - your turn~

I didn't even KNOW there was a song with that title. NOW that I've googled it, I see that Johnny Horton sang it, whoever he is. I feel like Clark Griswald, inadvertently winning a game show. Well...

Yeah, I KNOW you've heard it. There are not many lines in the song that I can post that wouldn't be a dead giveaway.
