Answer:

"Big Time" - Big & Rich

Here's the link to the vid:

New Tune:

She said my breasts they will always be open

Baby, you can rest your weary head right on me

And there will always be a space in my parking lot

When you need a little coke and sympathy

[Tom Strange]

sounds like "Let It Bleed"...

[bfh]

"Let it Bleed" it is...

You're up.

[Tom Strange]

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels

Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields

[Tom Strange]

can't believe that no one here knows that song...

but here's a whole stanza from later on in the song

(the other clue was the first two lines from the song)

Everyone I know, everywhere I go

People need some reason to believe

I don't know about anyone but me

If it takes all night, that'll be all right

If I can get you to smile before I leave

c'mon... I know you can hear it in your head...

[GeorgeStGeorge]

c'mon... I know you can hear it in your head...

Sorry. All the voices drown it out!

George

I'm coming up empty on this one.

Well, if anyone may chime in, I'll give it a try.

Is it Running On Empty by Jackson Browne?

Wing :)

Well, if anyone may chime in, I'll give it a try.

Is it Running On Empty by Jackson Browne?

Wing :)

Anyone MAY chime in.

And I have looked up the lyrics to "Running on Empty" by Jackson Browne,

and this is indeed that song.

So, it is now YOUR turn, Wing.

Please pick a song we are likely to have heard,

(I PERSONALLY try not to pick stuff after 1985 in deference to the advanced

age and approaching decrepitude of many posters, but you are free to post

from ANY song)

remembering that the song must have had AIRPLAY.

Good songs that never were played on the air are still good songs, but it is unfair

to require us to own a specific album.

If you don't know the artist, you should look it up, along with the complete

lyrics so you can make sure you have them correct.

If someone has the correct title but incorrect ARTIST, please check and see if

that artist did a cover of the same song. Some songs have been redone a LOT.

(I posted a song with at least 3 "correct" artists, and I only knew of 2, but someone

chimed in with the third. I checked-they were correct.)

Please also give us a fair chance and space out your clues a day apart or so.

Any faster and you may make it too easy when we log in and read,

any slower and it may be most of a month before we can answer.

Try not to make it too obvious with the first post.

(Sometimes people get it on the first try with an obscure lyric,

and it's more of an accomplishment when you can at least TRY to do that.)

If you have trouble looking up a song, it's very easy:

http://www.google.com

Enter the words "lyric" then the title of the song, and the artist's name, each in quotes.

If you don't know the artist, switch out a line of the song in quotes for the artist's name.

If you're checking if a different artist did a cover, switch their name as the artist,

and see if you get results.

It's actually pretty simple-most of what I said is kind-of common sense.

New tune?

Mamma, take this badge off of me.

I can't use it anymore.

(ps, thank you wordwolf for the advise)

"Knocking on Heaven's Door" - Bob Dylan - also covered by Guns n' Roses among others.

New Tune:

And the men who spurred us on

Sit in judgement of all wrong

They decide and the shotgun sings the song

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Note also: unless you're absolutely sure you have it correct (and I believe bfh did, this time), wait for confirmation before posting another song.

P.S. wing and any others lurking: feel free to join the other games (Name that Flick, Name that TV show, Name that Star Trek episode, Movie Pictionary, TV Pictionary, Triple Movie Links, Songs Remembered from Just One Line). We're always looking for "new blood" to join the old, familiar faces. The rules are generally given in the first couple of posts on the thread.

[WordWolf]

PLEASE feel free to join in on the other games.

As for this song, I can't recognize any song that runs over 3:05, so I'm stuck.

"We Won't Get Fooled Again" (no no!) by The Who

[bfh]

Dooj, that's correct!

You're up.

[WordWolf]

That song was, what, 7:15 or something?

I thought some of the lyrics were great for twi survivors to listen and consider.

"Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss."

No names, but I said that back when I left, and it reminds me of some "new bosses" in some places.

dooj, please pass us another! :)

About those previous clues, and the song title Polythene Pam. . .

"well you should see her practice...." "in her... package, you should see..."

I, for one could never have guessed that. Dooj, were you thinking really of a different tune?

here is lyric Polythene Pam: (verse 1)

well, you should see polythene pam

she's so good looking but she looks like a man

well, you should see her in drag, dressed in her polythene bag

yes, you should see ploythene pam

wing : )

but I don't have any guesses about See-saw swingin...
