"She's got loving like quicksand. Only took one touch of her hand. To blow my mind and I'm in so deep That I can't eat and I can't sleep."
"I got a certain little girl, she's on my mind.
No doubt about it, she looks so fine.
She's the best girl that I ever had.
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad."
How much of this stuff do he think we can stand
So much rhythm, grace and debonair from one man, Lord
And then he had nerve to wiggle his left toe
To his knee, got the feelin? in his head, y? all
Oh, come on, baby
Country may be broadly accurate, but an unfair pigeonhole, IMO. Try Folk, Outlaw Country, Texas singer-songwriter, Americana..
Written in 1970, it was first recorded by another artist in Nashville in 1972. It broke the Billboard Top 100 at 98 for 3 weeks. It was recorded by the writer in 1975 to great success on the Country charts. It has been covered by others who more closely fit the Americana Singer-Songwriter genre than country. Apparently, a very recent, contemporary cover was included on the soundtrack for the show "Yellowstone."
Pack up all your dishes
Make note of all good wishes
And say goodbye to the landlord for me
That son of bitch has always bored me
Throw out them L.A. papers
That mouldy box of Vanilla Wafers
Adios, to all this concrete
Gonna get me some dirt road back streets
(Chorus, includes title)
And it's, here's to you, old Skinny Dennis
The only one I think I will miss
I can hear old bass singin'
Sweet and low like a gift you're bringin'
Play it for me one more time now
Got to give it all you can now
I believe every thing you're sayin'
Just to keep on, keep on playin'
(Chorus, includes title)
And you put the pink card in the mailbox
Leave the key in that old front door lock
They'll find it likely as not
I'm sure there's somethin' we have forgot
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry, baby
Love's a gift that's surely handmade
We got somethin' to believe in
Don't you think it's time, we're leavin'?
(Chorus)
So pack up all your dishes
Make note of all good wishes
And say goodbye to the landlord for me
That son of bitch has always bored me

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.

Well at first WordWolf, (see, I spelled it right) I didn't have any clue, but now with the other lyrics I think this is ~Deep Purple's~ HUSH.

Sounds like an ode to Elvis, but I don't recognize it. I'm sure WW's post was a clue.
"Are You Ready" by AC/DC ?

"Hey, y'all, prepare yourself for THE RUBBER BAND MAN." IIRC, that's the Spinners.

I thought that the clue in itself would give it away
and it looks like I was right. WordWolfs up.

She or he probably strolled down to Little Cuba to find it and maybe afterward went to the Apollo.

AFAIK, those are in different cities and different states. I think she gave Little Cuba a miss.

Whatever, but I'm sure Sugar Plum Fairy went to the Apollo.

Your girlfriend is correct! Her turn... or yours.
Guy Clark wrote the song and recorded it in 1975. Steve Earle recorded it, also. I'm not sure who the artist covering the song on Yellowstone is.
