Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own
1. Well, I’m pressin’ on,
yes I’m pressin’ on,
well I’m pressin’ on,
to the higher callin’ of my Lord.
2. Sittin’ in velvet,
ridin’ on steel
thoughts of my mother,
turns of the wheel.
3. For you there’ll be no cryin’,
for you the sun will be shinin’
4. Sometimes, when I’m so low down and discouraged,
can’t help but wonder what’s happening to my companions.
5. A bullet from the back of the bush
took Medger Evers blood,
a finger fired the trigger to his name.
6. I’m sorry, why should I say I’m sorry, if I hurt you,
you know you’ve hurt me too, but you get lost inside your tears
7. May God bless and keep you always,
may your wishes all come true,
may you always do for others and let others do for you
8. Your public needs you,
we need you too.
Would you not rather have your precious little ingénue?
9. Nobody knows how this story begins,
how it came to his hands, its breath on the wind
10. Woke up this morning
the house was cold
checked the furnace,
she wasn’t burnin’
11. Day by day we let love just walk away,
and I’ll be the first to admit I was glad to see it go
12. Lyin’ round, sick in bed,
gave me time to clear my head,
the sky was empty the trees were bare
13. It’s in the way that you use it,
it comes and it goes,
it’s in the way that you use it,
boy don’t you know
14. Deep down in Louisiana
‘cross the New Orleans,
way back up in the woods among the evergreens,
there stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
15. I may not always love you,
but as long as there are stars above you,
you never need to doubt,
I’ll make you sure about it
16. Here am I another goodbye
he says adios says adios goodbye
and do you know why she will break down and cry
she says adios says adios goodbye
17. Well it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
if you don’t know by now,
and it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
it’ll never do somehow
18. Rolls and flows of angel hair
and ice cream castles in the air
and feather canyons everywhere,
I’ve looked at clouds that way
19. Oh, the time will come up when the winds will stop
and the breeze will cease to be breathin’,
like the stillness in the wind when the hurricane begins
20. Sometimes it takes a storm to really know you’re alive,
the scent of rain, the weight of clouds pulling down the sky
