Tominator Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Re: Sad day for country music! Hmmmm, that's too bad. I just hate seeing cancer get someone else. Prayers to his family. "The competition's getting younger Tougher broncs, you know I can't recall A worn out tape of Chris LeDoux, lonely women and bad booze Seem to be the only friends I've left at all And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold I'm much too young to feel this **** old All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole I'm much too young to feel this **** old R.I.P. brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Re: Sad day for country music! Copenhagen........Tominators Garth Brooks song had me get nostalgic: Ol' Chris Ledoux was a great influence on my music selection: Cadillac Ranch was a favorite of mine in high school!

Gus Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Re: Sad day for country music! I heard that Chris had passed away on my way home from work today. I really hated to hear it, he was one of my favorite singers. I have just about all of his CDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad indeed. [/ QUOTE ] I think you guy's are referring to "This Cowboy's Hat". My favorite. [/ QUOTE ] No, I think they are refering to "Under this old hat". That is a good song. I never was the kind to wear my feelings on my sleeve But since I met you girl, there's been a world of change in me I've got to say I love you, hope you like the sound of that 'Cause I can't keep it under this ol' hat (Chorus) Under this ol' hat Is the head you turned around And the heart you stole away The day we met Under this ol' hat's Two arms that long to hold you tight And boots I'd walk the soles off of To be here by your side And every night in my prayers there's just One thing I ask That the man you love will always be Under this ol' hat You've got me feeling things I've never felt before And it's so good to know when I come a knocking at your door That of all the men who'd love to waltz across your welcome mat The one you want is under this ol' hat (Repeat chorus) That the man you love will always be Under this ol' hat A song that always got to me was Call Of TheWild Storm clouds are building above the timber line The lightning's flashing across the mountain side The thunder's rollin' down the canyons of his mind Somewhere beyond the great divide The bugle of the bull elk echos through pines The north wind moans her lonesome lullaby He hungers for the freedom of an eagle as she flies Somewhere beyond the great divide Chorus: He's heard the call of the wild He's heard the call of the wild The mountains callin' to him like a mother calls her child He's heard the call of the wild Livin' in the city oh it gets to be a grind Puttin' in his hours workin' overtime Waitin' for the day he can leave it all behind To go somewhere beyond the great divide Bridge: He's got to get away from the city for a while He's gotta answer the call of the wild Guitar solo: (tab will come later, i'm still working on it) Repeat chorus He's heard the call of the wild He's heard the call of the wild The mountains callin' to him like a mother calls her child He's heard the call of the wild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
