canthai55 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatle song, 'Love me do,' I think it was. From there it didn't take him long. Got himself a guitar, used to play every night, Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit, And everything's all right, don't you know?

thaibeachlovers Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) Here's one for all the farangs that loved and lost in LOS. In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand With an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand I'm a long way from home, Lord, I miss my loved ones so In the early morning rain with no place to go Out on runway number nine a big 707 set to go And, I'm stuck here in the grass where the pavement never grows Now, the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast Well, there she goes, my friend, she'll be rolling down at last Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver wing on high She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she'll fly Early morning rain Edited May 17, 2021 by thaibeachlovers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electsub Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 George Strait Lyrics "I've Come To Expect It From You" So upset, a nervous wreck, can't believe you said goodbye. Sit and smoke, cry and joke about these tears in my eyes. How could you do what you've gone and done to me? I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me, But that's what I get, I've come to expect it from you. A million times, a million lines, and I bought 'em, every one. You don't care, you rip and tear every dream I've counted on. I guess that I should thank my unlucky stars That I'm alive and you're the way you are, But that's what I get, I've come to expect it from you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
