Sorry (well, SORTA, but not really...) to make a new thread on something that might strike many as a waste. But what the hell, I am now committed. And appeal to the part of every lover of oldies who have, at one time or another, remember a song and not being able, later in years, to remember the title/artist!
Ok..in THIS case, it is an old country hit from back in the late 70's or so. I don't know that it ever made any great shake on the charts, but it WAS a popular play on the jukeboxes in the honky-tonk beer joints of the day. I used to love it and cannot remember it to save my life, today. Soooo...can some of y'all out there lend a hand>
What I most remember is that the lyrics started out with something like:
"I like dark little neighborhood places with bowling machings in the rear..."
It was one of those sorta "estranged love" type stereotypical country songs...

Alrighty Reb, I'll try to find it. You said it was from the 70's, but do you remember a particular year you remember hearing it?

Hey DK!
I am thinking it was somewhere between 1976 - 1979. At my age, all those young years and honky-tonk beer and juke-joint memories tend to blend together! LOL
Thanks for anything you might come up with, buddy!
It was a male singer for sure. And a solo, not a group.
Well, Rebby, the search engines have not helped, so this may take a while. I'm getting no match whatsoever on the things you've mentioned. I can narrow it down to just specific honky-tonk artists (Moe Bandy, Johnny Lee, Mickey Gilley, but there may be others) and search by artist, but it could well take a great deal of time to search all of those guys' lyrics unless somebody else comes up with it sooner.

Again though, Case, thanks for trying. I bet you (and many others as well) would recognize it when it plays.
As it is, yeah, I hit a dead end everytime. However, as you mentioned, Moe Bandy, Joe Stampley, Johnny Lee, etc, sound (no pun intended) like those who might have done it!
Sorry, I can't place this song or artist. I am trying to figure out the title and artist to a country/gospel song from the same era that had the lyrics "Where would God baptize Jesus when he comes down again? Would it be the river Jorden or the river Thames?" It was a male singer. I have searched lyric websites but no luck. Any guesses?
