This weekly series
will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby
little hands on (so to speak). Now, each
one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit
only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered. For I just cannot bring myself to rate some
higher than others. So, this will not be
a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t
matter. Besides, with no countdown, this
could go on forever and ever! Oh, and
despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can
be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to
make. I am, after all, quite magnanimous
by nature.

Copperhead Road
Steve Earle
Well
My name's John Lee
Pettimore
Same as my daddy
And his daddy
before
You hardly ever saw
Grandaddy down here
He only came to
town
About twice a year
He'd buy a hundred
pounds of yeast
And some copper
line
Everybody knew that
He made moonshine
Now the revenue man
Wanted grandaddy
bad
He headed up the
holler
With everything he
had
It's before my time
But I've been told
He never came back
From Copperhead
Road
Now Daddy ran the
whiskey
In a big block
Dodge
Bought it at an
auction
At the Mason's Lodge
Johnson County
sheriff
Painted on the side
Just shot a coat of
primer
Then he looked
inside
Well him and my
uncle
Tore that engine
down
I still remember
That rumblin' sound
Well the sheriff
came around
In the middle of
the night
Heard mama cryin'
Knew something
wasn't right
He was headed down
to Knoxville
With the weekly
load
You could smell the
whiskey burnin'
Down Copperhead
Road
I volunteered for
the army
On my birthday
They draft the
White trash first
Around here
Anyway
I done two tours of
duty
In Vietnam
And I came home
With a brand new
plan
I take the seed
from Colombia
And Mexico
I just plant it up
the holler
Down Copperhead
Road
Well the D.E.A.'s
Got a chopper in
the air
I wake up screamin’
Like I'm back over
there
I learned a thing
or two
From ol' Charlie
Don't you know
You better stay
away
From Copperhead
Road
Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road

Dreams
The Cranberries
Oh my life
Is changin’
everyday
In every possible
way
And oh my dreams
It's never quite as
it seems
Never quite as it
seems
I know I felt like
this before
But now I'm feelin’
it even more
Because it came
from you
Then I open up and
see
The person fallin’
here is me
A different way to
be
I want more
Impossible to
ignore
Impossible to
ignore
And they'll come
true
Impossible not to
do
Impossible not to
do
And now I tell you
openly
You have my heart
So don't hurt me
You're what I
couldn't find
A totally amazin’
mind
So understandin’
And so kind
You're everything
to me
Oh my life
Is changin’
everyday
In every possible
way
And oh my dreams
It's never quite as
it seems
'Cause you're a
dream to me
Dream to me
