"I build walls, a fortress deep and mighty."
When I awoke, the Dire Wolf, six hundred pounds of sin
Was grinning at my window, all I said was come on in
Was grinning at my window, all I said was come on in
Sting - All This Time
"Teachers told the Romans built this place.
They built a wall and a temple and an edge of the empire garrison town.
They lived and they died.
They prayed to their gods, but the stone gods did not make a sound.
And their empire crumbles 'till all that was left
Were the stones the workmen found."
Always loved this song. The lyrics are very poetic

And I'm oh so tired of running
Gonna lay down on the floor
I gotta rest some time so
I can get to run some more
Yeah! She's coming!

And this one:
...
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the field's I'd known
I recognized the walls that I'd once laid
Had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid
...
Bonus: the video features Billy Curtis who starred as Mordecai in High Plains Drifter.

Tyler Childers - Bottles and Bibles
Bottles and bibles litter the floor
An all night revival passed out around four
Now the preacher's been drinking
but that's hard not to do
since she ran out the screen door
and said they were through
Marcus King - Swinging Doors
(an old Merle Haggard tune, but I like this version)

A black eagle
Flies through my back yard
Perches on my window
Lord, what a fearsome sight
Somebody mentioned, Why haven't these guys done a Super Bowl halftime. I agree, would be better than the last couple.
Better hurry, gettin' older.

My remaining list is down to isolated references.

I was wondering if I might have known your Dad when it hit me, that when I spent six years of weekends at Camp Dodge, the only music on the radio was 60's music because it was the 60's. I think we didn't meet which is a shame because I think your Dad had a good taste for music.
Can't you hear me knockin' on your window?
Can't you hear me knockin' on your door?
Can't you hear me knockin' on your door?
Wind tearin' through the backstreet, I hear the rhythm of my heart beat
Rain blowin' to my face, I'm tired of being in the wrong place
Blues knockin' on my back door, I can't jump from the second floor
Turn up the radio higher and higher, rock and roll music set my ears on fire
Rain blowin' to my face, I'm tired of being in the wrong place
Blues knockin' on my back door, I can't jump from the second floor
Turn up the radio higher and higher, rock and roll music set my ears on fire
[Chorus]
And the walls came down, all the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell
Tweeter and the Monkey Man
Traveling Wilburys

Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell

She was there at the bar, she heard my guitar
She was long and tall, she was the queen of them all

She was dark and discreet, she was light on her feet
We went up to her room and she lowered the boom

Eddie waited 'til he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo, too
The future was wide open
They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a night club he could work at the door
