It's damn near impossible to decipher what Eddie's singing on yellow Ledbetter


My band in the 90s covered this and our singer purposefully didn't bother to find the actual lyrics and just sang it like it sounded. Nobody would question it. Same thing with State of Love and Trust.

I had always heard the opening line of John Conlee's Common Man as "They made port wine as we prepared to dine." Wasn't until I heard it live on the Opry this spring that I realized he was saying "The maid poured wine..."

Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away the choice and lobster ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to lose her
BUt for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat.

I had a friend, who as a kid thought the lyrics to The Wall included:

"The Dukes of Hazard In the Classroom".


Not a misheard lyric...but a had another friend who thought Wichita Lineman was about a football player...."I am a lineman for the county".

I was talking to my wife about this last night...she mentioned one she misheard when we were in high school.

"Is it any wonder I've got too much dye on my hair".
