I have heard the song. Maybe Kris Kristopherson, but I think not. Someone more rocka'billy like Marshall Tucker or Charlie Daniels. Anyway, I'm just putting out a few guesses to help me narrow down the song. Other than that, I really don't have any idea as to the title. Long shot for me, at any rate.

The song is so well written, Kris Kristopherson is a good guess.
I'm buying dinner to make it easy on you boys - it was my idea to come here instead of Chili's.
Somehow, I arrived at this song via Human's Kris Kristofferson reference.Â

"Well, when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folk that you know
I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
Cause you know I could never be alone
Take me down little Susie take me down
Cause I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
You can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Well, when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on your Kentucky derby days
I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
With another girl to take my pain away
Take me down little Susie take me down
Cause I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
Send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Take me down little Susie take me down
Cause I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground
You can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
I know ~Little Feat~ but I couldn't put the two together.
A couple things here about this thread Nathan_Jr. Usually when a clue is given a verse is generally all that's posted. That is enough as long as the song fits within the guidelines of this thread. Then, as the game plays out another verse or two follows depending upon response or lack of response. It doesn't have to be the first verse of the song. It can be the middle or third, whatever. The idea is to keep us guessing. Another thing is to not give away the song title in the lyrics, as you have done here with ~The Rolling Stones~ Dead Flowers.
That being said, why not take another turn (if you have one ready) and trim it down a bit. And hey, just have fun.Â
I don't know if that's a correct response for the performer (there may be more than one); but you also need to give the song title. (Note that in Songs Remembered from One Line only the title is needed.)
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Till then I'll walk alone
"Greta's flunky, some boot-licking lackey, some wild-eyed Romeo winds op the mountain with Rio down below. Drives too slowly past a burning impromptu altar, attended by no one of visible means."
Â
"Rounding the corner we come to a halt. Doors fly open as we prepare for assault. Out from the shadows step the dangerous boys. Hands hiding weapons, they treat them like toys. Debutante Gretta, the taxidermist's daughter. She knows what to say. She knows how to mingle, she knows the lingo."

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you. I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me Once upon a time, IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. It mig

That makes perfect sense to me, but it's not a Cash song, nor did he cover it.
Linda Rondstadt's cover of this song from 1976 may be the most popular version, because, well, she herself was so popular.Â

Is Human going to give it a shot?

The song is "Willin'" by Little Feat.

Hey, Human, since you got his song fair and square, why not post the next one as an example, so he can see what you meant? Properly, it's your turn.

Sure, alright.
My girlfriend's gone off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sitting here
Sipping at my ice cold beer

Not the artist. Here's a couple more lines.Â
My girlfriend's gone off with my car
And gone back to her ma and pa
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty
Now I'm sitting here
Sipping at my ice cold beer
Save me, save me
Save me from this squeeze
I've got a big fat momma tyin' to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury

I've definitely heard this one before. But title and artist?
How about
"IN THE SUMMERTIME", by The Doors?Â
Was I close? Did I get either right?

No, no and no. I will give you a clue. They were NOT an American band. So obviously then, ~Grand Funk~ is out.

There's not to many clues left that don't have the title of the song left. Hurray up and get this alright.

I made my best guess, using a line from the song. I've heard the song before, but I don't know the title nor the artist. Â
(And, apparently, I need to sit down and listen to more "Little Feat" if I ever get a chance.)

Wow! Good one! I suspected the Kinks when you said not American. Wouldn't have picked it, even the Kinks were given.

New song:
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Till then I'll walk alone

I'd less this go, but it's the first time in a while I've gotten a song.
This is Green Day's "BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS."Â
Personally, I found it amusing that the video showed the singer walking with the band while he sang "I walk alone."
