Peter Frampton= Do you feel like we do

Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
Whose wine? What wine? Where the **** did I dine?
Must have been a dream I don't believe where I've been

If you been wondering what had made us grow, a generation hard as stone, my fathers father may God rest his soul,  he taught me somthing you should know, you put your shoulder to the wind you put your nose the the grindstone, you work your fingers state to the bone.

Me and my buddy got us a wild hair
And figured we wanted to go somewhere
So we loaded up in my ragtop Chevrolet
We had a little bit of money
And a whole lot of show
And with Hank Jr. blaring on the radio
We got us a tank full of gas
And we was on our way

uneasy rider ‘88

This was the better of the two songs

Well, I was born on a Sunday; On Thursday I had me a job
I was born on a Sunday; By Thursday I was workin' out on the job
I ain't never had no day off since I learned right from wrong
Mama said I was bad, I did something to her head
Mama said I was bad, I did something to her head
And poppa threw me out, ooh, said, "I gotta earn my own way.

CCR

Great idea you got here @Sledgehammer I think we’ve got some really great songs mentioned here but I think we can stop now I found the winner. 
 

 

“SHE’S GOT LEGS”!!!!! 
 

ZZTOP 

Good tune. I won’t say there can be a “winner”. Everyone gets their own winner.  We used to listen to “Tush” more than “Legs”.

I won’t mind if this keeps going I’m really enjoying this. I just heard legs come on the radio in the locker room at work and thought wow, great song, great opening line, and great subject matter.
