In a Country Where They Turn Back Time

“On a morning from a Bogart movie, in a country where they turn back time. You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre, contemplating a crime.

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running like a watercolor in the rain. Don’t bother asking for explanations, she’ll just tell you that she came in the year of the cat” – Al Stewart (Year of the Cat)

Big Ol’ Jet Airliner

“Goodbye to my friends at home, goodbye to people I’ve trusted. I’ve got to go out and make my way, I might get rich, you know I might get busted. But my heart keeps calling me backwards, as I get on the 707. Ridin’ high, I got tears in my eyes, you know you got to go through hell before you get to heaven.
Big ol’ jet airliner, don’t carry me too far away. Big ol’ jet airliner, ‘cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay” – Steve Miller (Jet Airliner)

Life is a Highway

“Life’s like a road that you travel on, when there’s one day here and the next day gone. Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand, sometimes you turn your back to the wind. There’s a world outside every darkened door, where blues won’t haunt you anymore, where the brave are free and lovers soar. Come ride with me to the distant shore, we won’t hesitate, break down the garden gate, there’s not much left today. Life is a highway, I want to ride it all night long. If you’re going my way, I want to drive it all night long” – Tom Cochrane (Life is a Highway)

I Left My Heart in San Francisco

“I left my heart in San Francisco, high on a hill, it calls to me. To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars, the morning fog may chill the air, I don’t care. My love waits there in San Francisco, above the blue and windy sea, when I come home to you, San Francisco , your golden sun will shine for me” – Tony Bennett
