Name that Tune

[waysider]

Good tune. I haven't heard it in decades. It deserves more airplay.

[Human without the bean]

Now and again I get the feeling
Well if I don't win, I'm a gonna break even
Rescue me, should I go wrong
If I dig too deep, if I stay too long

[WordWolf]

I think I have the artist, but I'm trying to actually remember the song, and it's not coming yet.

[Human without the bean]

Well then, perhaps this line will help you come up with it.

Now and again I get the feeling
Well if I don't win, I'm a gonna break even
Rescue me, should I go wrong
If I dig too deep, if I stay too long

[Human without the bean]

I'll be the boy in the corduroy pants
You be the girl at the high school dance
Run with me wherever I go
And just play dumb, whatever you know

Apparently, none of these helped WordWolf to come up with this.  The last quote is a dead give away!

Sorry, I didn't check in. This is Tom Petty's "You Wreck Me."

"You wreck me, baby, yes you do..."

[Human without the bean]

You are correct WordWolf. 

[WordWolf]

Next song.

"Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry
Don't see the time flashin' by
Honey, got no money
I'm all sixes and sevens and nines
Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsider
You can be my partner in crime."

"Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry
Don't see the time flashin' by
Honey, got no money
I'm all sixes and sevens and nines
Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsider
You can be my partner in crime."

 

"Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to waste me
And make me burn the candle right down
But baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown
'Cause all you women is low down gamblers
Cheatin' like I don't know how."

[Human without the bean]

I'm probably not the only one playin' here without a clue?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

This might be one of those that I've heard a gazillion times but never listened to the lyrics.

Or, it might be one I've never heard before.

At any rate, I don't recognize it.

George

I know it's a Stone's song, just not sure which one.

I'll count that as "close enough." It IS the Stones, with "Tumblin' Dice."

Your turn.

[waysider]

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone

Let's pretend that we're together, all alone

Clue: If you had walked into almost any "hillbilly" bar in 1960, there's a pretty good chance you would have heard this playing on the jukebox.

I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low.

And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go.

A classic tune no doubt. I was going with a country song, maybe Meryl Haggard, but I wouldn't have guessed Jim Reeves.

From a time before "the twang" became mandatory...heh
