Time for Another
The theme this "time" will be just that. It is in quotes because what we're after here are songs that actually mention a time of day, not just "time" as a concept. Perhaps we'll do that another "time" (so to speak). So once again, we're going for songs that mention a specific time of day. Anyway, I'm so looking forward to hearing from you. I'll be counting the minutes...
Now, since people seem to be making lists of things, here is a goofy list of things about me. While these lists are somewhat amusing in an "Oh, what an intriguing exercise" kind of way, they leave out so much that they can give an odd impression of a person. Nevertheless, here it is.

More Than Words Can Say, Alias:
Here I am at six o'clock in the morning
Still thinking about you
It's still hard, at six o'clock in the morning
To sleep without you
Loved your 100 things!
And I know that it might
Seem too late for love
All I know
I need you now
More than words can say
I need you now
I've got to find a way
I need you now
Before I lose my mind
I need you now
You would go backwards.... :) In the book "Because of Winn Dixie" Opal says this about list describing people after she memorized a list of ten things she knew about her Mama and about her dog Winn-Dixie...
" I memorized (the list) ...so I would have some part of him to hold on to. But at the same time, I thought of something I never thought of before: and that was that a list of things couldn't even begin to show somebody the real Winn-Dixie, just like a list of ten things couldn't ever get me to know my Mama."
I love childrens books!
It's 5 o'clock somewhere~ Alan Jackson
Working 9 to 5 what a way to make a livin'~ Dolly Parton
Midnight in Montgomery
Praise Him, Praise Him
Praise him in the morning
Oh what a beautiful Morning, Oh what a beautiful day! ~ OKLAHOMA!
Love this game!
Don't know that I have any "time" songs, but I love your list. I know that a list like this definitely doesn't even begin to crack open all the hidden parts, but I think in this forum, it might help to feel like we know each other a little bit better. Thanks for jumping on the bandwagon. :-)
I am sure you are the only one holding out juicy tidbits...
In the Midnight Hour- Wilson Pickett
amarillo by morning, up from san antone--George Strait
Early in the evenin' just about supper time--CCR
morning has broken, like the first morning--cat stevens
You own an amusement park train? Must hear more about this!
I've been working on the railroad,
All the live long day,
I've been working on the rail road just to pass the time of day
Something something something something,
Oh so early in the Morn
something something something something,
Dina blow your horn!
OK, I am real rusty on this song!
Since you're going to get specific...
Billy Joel's Piano Man-- It's 9 o'clock on a saturday, regular crowd shuffles in
And of course, according to what is in your truck right now (and I wonder if this is where you got the idea) the Spin Doctors-- What time is it? 4:30...it's not late, no, no, it's a early, early, early!
