Little piece of cornbread a-layin' on the shelf
If you want any more, you can sing it yourself
Oh, groundhog!

Groundhog - Doc Watson

Face pale white
In convenient store lights
I'm beginning to believe
My surrounding somehow recognize my schemes

Run Down - Jeff Austin

Just then a bolt of lightning
Struck the courthouse out of shape
And while everybody knelt to pray
The drifter did escape

Where, the sky is just a bluer shade of blue.
I got everything required, for the body, soul and mind.
I got water, grub and crossword puzzles too.

I'm like a John Deere tractor
In a half acre field
Tryin' to plow a furrow
Where the soil is made of steel

John Deere Tractor - The Judds (Lawrence Hammond)

The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks

The Man Comes Around - Johnny Cash
