There are at least 20 references to old classic songs in this one. I used to say "name all 20 and you win a free oven mitt!" This was recorded live with Chris Rosser and River Guerguerian in Asheville.

Lyrics

All the Old legends
There’s a song for the freeway
There’s a song for the heartbreak
There’s a song for the song’s sake
A song for the loss of the thrill
And there’s a song that you’re writin
There’s a song still in hidin
If you don’t try to find it
Probably nobody will
(Chorus #1) Don’t bar the door she ain’t goin nowhere
She’s seen better days but she smiles anyways
Sayin go on and go where the lonely go dear
Those swingin door might let a song through
All the old legends are leavin us here
They gave us their best then they laid down to rest
Rivers of whisky and buckets of beer
And the songs that we all sing along to

There’s a song for a dragon
And there’s a song to imagine
There’s a song out of fashion
That keeps getting better with age
There’s a song for Muskogee
There’s a song for the lonely
There’s a song tryin to show me
The key to that long lost refrain
(Chorus #2) The Muse is amused by her poet’s despair
He’s seen better days but he tries anyways
Sayin “I’ve got to go where the lonely go dear
Those swingin doors might let a song through
All the old legends are leavin us here
They gave us their best then they laid down to rest
Rivers of whisky and buckets of beer
And the songs that we all sing along to

There’s a song for the changes
Black birds and Brown Angels
Blues caught up in tangles
Ribbons that fall from the hair
Heart of gold tryin to stay free
Diamond shinin like crazy
Purple rain kind of and hazy
Fallin from heaven knows where
(Chorus #3) You give all you got till you get what you need
It all seems sublime when she whispers a rhyme
Sayin I’ll meet you down where the lonely go dear
Those swingin doors might let a song through
All the old legends are leavin us here
They gave us their best then they laid down to rest
Rivers of whisky and buckets of beer
And the songs that we all sing along to
