Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I've got the feeling that something ain't right

All correct

Old woman old woman don't treat me so mean
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen

Don't know that one Midge!

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
70s

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Carry me home to see my kin
Singin' songs about the south-land
70s

The earth spins on its axis
One man struggles while another relaxes
80s

Fleamaker123 · 07/08/2021 22:32

Country Road, John Denver 😆 think that's wrong!

Sorry, for this one

shinynewapple21 · 07/08/2021 22:44

Another for Midge's theme

So hard to see
That a woman like you could wait around for a man like me
Guess I'm on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

80s

I think John denver originally, but I always think of Oliver Newton John.

Is the second one king of the road?

I know no 3, but can't think.
