I've got a few for you:

Drive down the main street with your middle finger held high outside the window to this one:

Lie in bed after a long day of telling the world to fuck itself to this one:

Drive home after the late night study session to this one:

Kiss the girl in the backseat of the car to this one:

Drive down the highway with this cranked:

Drink to the good times to this one:

Drink to the bad to this one:

And to top it off, make joyful noise to this one:

... I'll stop now. gnight TNG.

spoons - lots of good stuff in this thread. I hope somebody turns it into a playlist. In my book; however, you nailed it with Stan Rogers:

    And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow

    With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go

    Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain

    And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again.

Thanks, lil. I come by my love of Stan Rogers pretty honestly - My dad always had a few tapes in his truck.

    Rise again, rise again

    though your heart may be broken

    and life about to end

    no matter what you've lost

    be it a home, a love, a friend

    like the Mary Ellen Carter, Rise again.
