Christine - I think the Trisha Yearwood song is on Hearts in Armor, but
I'm not sure. I enjoy most of the songs I've heard by her and she has a
great voice. Silver Spring is a Fleetwood Mac song. It's the single from
their reunion album. It was recorded at the time of the Rumours album but
not put on it. It was released as a b-side and has had some radio play over
the years. Asleep at the Wheel is a fun group with good dance music!
Mary-Chapin Carpenter is one of the best country performers around today and
she's a very talented writer. I've included one of her fun numbers (and it
would be fun to have come true-g). This is one that does work a lot better
with music. I agree that over-all imo sad songs are the best.
I Feel Lucky
by Mary-Chapin Carpenter
Well I woke up this morning, stumbled out of my rack
I opened up the paper to the page in the back
It only took a minute for my finger to find
My daily dose of destiny under my sign
My eyes just about popped out of my head
It said the stars are stacked against you, girl
Get back in bed
I feel lucky, I feel lucky
No Professor Doom's gonna stand in my way
Mmmm I feel lucky today
Well I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk
The pot's 11 million so I called in sick to work
I bought a pack of Camels, a burrito, and a Barq's
Crossed against the light, made a beeline for the park
The sky began to thunder, the wind began to moan
I heard a voice above me saying, Girl you'd better get back home
But I feel lucky, I feel lucky
No tropical depression's gonna steal my sun away
Mmmm I feel lucky today
Well, 11 million later I was sitting at the bar
I'd bought the house a double and the waitress a new car
Dwight Yoakam's in the corner trying to catch my eye [*]
Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh [**]
The moral of the story is simple but it's true
Hey the stars might lie, but the numbers never do
I feel lucky, I feel lucky, yeah
Hey Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don't have to fight [***]
Hot dog, I feel lucky tonight
I feel lucky, I feel lucky
Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way
Mmmm I feel lucky today
