elizillaLast week I posted a lyrics meme. Here are the answers, plus I lengthened some of the song quotes to help people place them if they're interested.
1. coyote sleeps with everyone, but in the morning he's long gone, and it turns out that he was a she / tales grow tall around the fire, where there's not truth no one's a liar, whatever mask you wear is who you'll be Greg Brown, My New Book
2. pour out the whiskey, pour out the rum, fifty cents to Davey Godfrey so the government work gets done, it's a five dollar secret, the sailors gladly pay Tanglefoot, Pouring Day
3. she raised her head and pricked her ears and before that hammer fell Garnet Rogers, Small Victory
4. she throws him on the ground without turning around, she knows a lot of jujitsu Loggins & Messina, Country Song
5. even if we both still look puzzled, let your face be the last one I see, you drive me crazy Greg Brown, You Drive Me Crazy
6. so I worked on the towboats with my slippery city shoes / which I swore I would never do again Nanci Griffith, Summer Wages
7. but few can see the guiding team that guards him from below Leslie Fish Toast to Unsung Heros
8. if your eye got poked out in this life, would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
