Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one (oh, baby)
But the kid is not my son (hoo)

"Billie Jean" - Michael Jackson

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

From a town known as Wheeling, West Virginia
Rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand
And his daring life of crime made him a legend in his time
East and west of the Rio Grande

(Billy Joel — The Legend of Billy The Kid)

I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country roads

--John Denver

Country boy…
You got your feet in L.A. but your mind's on Tennessee
Lookin back, I can remember the time when I sang my songs for free
Country boy… you got your feet in L.A.
Take a look at everything you own
But now and then my heart keeps goin home

(Glen Campbell - Country Boy)

But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day
And I say, what the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty-six?
I got the fever for the flavour
The payback will be later
But still I need a fix

"Drinking in LA" - Bran Van 3000

 

[K Douglas]

Payback is a thing you gotta see
Hell! Brother do any damn thing to me
You sold me out for chicken change
(Yes you did)
You told me that they, they had it all arranged
You had me down, and that's a fact
And now you punk, you gotta get ready
For the big payback

James Brown "The Big Payback" (1973)

 

[onomatopoeia]

I bought a scooter and I rented a shack
Out in the sun by the railroad track
I got a job and I'm a-breakin' my back
Workin' and workin' for the big payback

 

[fromtheshwa]

Some days won't end ever and some days pass on by
I'll be working here forever, at least until I die
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
I'm supposed to get a raise week, you know damn well I won't

Workin' for a livin'
(Workin')
Workin' for a livin'
(Workin')
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
I'm taking what they're giving 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'

"Workin' For a Livin'" - Huey Lewis & the News

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Everybody's working for the weekend
Everybody wants a new romance
Everybody's goin off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance ohhhh
You want a piece of my heart
You better start from the start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby let's go

(Loverboy — Working for the Weekend)
