Musical monday 3
Here's the clues this week. Name the tune, guess the theme.
1) I live in hotels tear out the walls
2) And we proceeded to tear that hotel down
3) Back at the hotel, ... we got such a mess
4) all the same old cliches is that a woman or a man
5) Someone got excited, had to call the state militia
6) Johnny was a schoolboy When he heard his first Beatles song (could have included it last time!)
7) His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
8) I've got my poor old gray-haired Daddy Drivin' my limousine
9) they sit at the bar and put bread in my jaw
10) Crazy Larry sang the baritone
11) Heading down to Houston For a show on Saturday night
(Given everyone's record on country music, no one's going to get #11)
