Songs with real people named in them!
Such as:
Lynyrd Skynyrd, Sweet Home Alabama "...I hope NEIL YOUNG will remember, Southern Man dont need him around anyhow" |
"Timothy Leary" by the Moody Blues..............

Not a song but, Lynyrd Skynyrd is a real person, he was their teacher in high school and later a real estate agent. Hard to forget a name like that.

Toby Keith - Should Have been a cowboy
I bet you've never heard ol' Marshall Dillion say Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away Settling down would you marry me? If I asked you twice and begged you pretty please She'd have said yes in a New York minute They never tied the knot His heart wasn't in it He just stole a kiss as he rode away He never hung his hat up at Kitty's place I should've been a cowboy I should've learned to rope and ride Wearing my six-shooter riding my pony on a cattle drive Stealing the young girl's hearts Just like Gene and Roy Singing those campfire songs Oh I should've been a cowboy I might of had a sidekick with a funny name Running wild through the hills chasing Jesse James Ending up on the brink of danger Riding shotgun for the Texas Rangers Go west young man, haven't you been told California's full of whiskey, women and gold Sleeping out all night beneath the desert stars With a dream in my eye and a prayer... In my heart I should've been a Cowboy I should've learned to rope and ride Wearing my six-shooter riding my pony on a cattle drive Stealing the young girl's hearts Just like Gene and Roy Singing those campfire songs Oh I should've been a cowboy I should've been a Cowboy I should've learned to rope and ride I'd be wearing my six-shooter riding my pony on a cattle drive Stealing the young girl's hearts Just like Gene and Roy Singing those campfire songs Oh I should've been a Cowboy Yeah I should've been a Cowboy Yeah I should've been a Cowboy |
