That's it.

Cruisin' on through the junction
I'm flyin' about the speed of sound
Noticin' peculiar function
I ain't no roller coaster show me down

[Human without the bean]

Cruisin' on through the junction
I'm flyin' about the speed of sound
Noticin' peculiar function
I ain't no roller coaster show me down

I turned away to see her
Whoa! She caught my eye
But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast
Do you wanna? She was thinkin' can it last?

[Human without the bean]

Cruisin' on through the junction
I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound
Noticin' peculiar function
I ain't no roller coaster show me down

I turned away to see her
Woa! She caught my eye
But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast
Do you wanna? She was thinkin' can it last?

Was busted up along the highway
I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive
Wondering if you're goin' in my way
Won't you give a poor boy a ride?

Here she comes a ridin'
Lord, she's flyin' high
But she was rollin' down, movin' too fast
Do you wanna? She was thinkin' can I last?

No bites so I guess I'll reveal it. 

 

SWEET HITCH-HIKER  ~CCR~   

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I'm a fan of CCR, but I didn't know that one.

Since Human didn't post another...

The others were untrue
But when it came to lovin' you
I'd spend my whole life with you
'Cause you came and you took control
You touched my very soul

George

[Human without the bean]

I'm familiar with this one.  I'll get back to you.

Chicago song, right?  Nope.  I take that back.  It's Stealer's Wheel   You Made Me So Very Happy

In this thread, you need to get the artist as well as the title.  To my knowledge, Stealers Wheel did not record this song.

OK, Blood Sweat and Tears

[GeorgeStGeorge]

That will work.  You're up.

Sorry for the wait.

The Byrds and the Airplane did fly
Oh, Ravi Shankar's music made me cry
The Who exploded into fire and light
Hugh Masekela's music was black as night
The Grateful Dead blew everybody's mind

The Byrds and the Airplane did fly
Oh, Ravi Shankar's music made me cry
The Who exploded into fire and light
Hugh Masekela's music was black as night
The Grateful Dead blew everybody's mind

His majesty, Prince Jones smiled as he
Moved among the crowd
Ten thousand electric guitars
Were groovin' real loud, yeah

You wanna find the truth in life
Don't pass music by
And you know
I would not lie

[Human without the bean]

The people came and listened
Some of them came and played
Others gave flowers away, yes they did

Young gods smiled upon the crowd
Their music being born of love
Children danced night and day
Religion was being born

The Byrds and the Airplane did fly
Oh, Ravi Shankar's music made me cry
The Who exploded into fire and light
Hugh Masekela's music was black as night
The Grateful Dead blew everybody's mind

His Majesty, Prince Jones,
smiled as he moved among the crowd
Ten thousand electric guitars
were groovin' real loud, yeah
You want to find the truth in life?
Don't pass music by
And you know I would not lie, no, I would not lie,
No, I would not lie

All right!
Three days of understanding,
of moving with one another
Even the cops grooved with us
Do you believe me, yeah?

 

[GeorgeStGeorge]

No idea.  Sorry.

Eager for action and hot for the game
the comming attraction, the drop of a name
they knew all the right people; they took all the right pills
they threw outrageous parties; they paid heavenly bills

Be careful.  "LIFE IN THE FAST LANE" will surely make you lose your mind, even if you were one of THE EAGLES.

Next song.

"I said 'where you goin' with that gun in your hand?'
'Alright. I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady,
you know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.' "

Correct, in case it wasn't obvious.   (The Jimi Hendrix Experience, for those who care.)
