Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

Put me in, coach - I’m ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be centerfield.
Centerfield ~ John Fogarty
Take me out to the ballgame,
Take me out with the crowds.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks,
I don't care if I ever get back
'Cause it's root, root, root for the home team.
If they don't win it's a shame,
For it's one, two, three strikes you're out
At the old ballgame!
It's a big, big house
With lots and lots of room
A big, big table
With lots and lots of food
A big, big yard
Where we can play football
A big, big house
It's my Father's house
-"Big House" by the Newsboys
Baseball season is underway
Well you better get ready for a brand new day
Hey Chicago what do you say?
The Cubs are gonna win today
Singing go Cubs go
Go Cubs Go
Hey Chicago what do you say
The Cubs are gonna win today
Steve Goodman
I am the greatest,
That is a fact,
But even I didn't know,
I could pitch like that.
I Am the Greatest
Kenny Rogers
Jackie's gonna be a football star
Diane's a debutante in th'backseat of Jackie's car
John Cougar Mellencamp
Now my brother went to college 'cause he plays football;
And I'm still hangin' 'round 'cause I'm a little bit small.
Someday
Steve Earle
And as my bike went down through the gates of hell
I thought about a hockey game
"Three Little Words," Da Vinci's Notebook
And it's run for the roses
As fast as you can.
Your fate is delivered,
Your moment's at hand.
It's the chance of a lifetime
In a lifetime of chance
And it's high time you joined in the dance.
The Run For the Roses
Dan Fogelberg
Having been born in KY, I had to include this one. =)
Oh Rapid Roy that stock car boy
He the best driver in the land
They say that he learned to race a stock car
By runnin' shine outa Alabam'
Oh the demolition derby and the figure eight
Are easy money in the bank
Compared to runnin' from the man in Oklahoma City
With a 500 gallon tank
Jim Croce
Just the other night
At a hometown football game,
My wife and I ran into
My old high school flame.
Unanswered Prayers
Garth Brooks
Camptown ladies sing this song
Doo dah doo dah
Camptown racetrack's five miles long
Oh the doo dah day
Well the race is on and here comes pride at the backstretch
Heartache's a-goin' to the inside
My Tears are holdin' back, they're tryin' not to fall
(metaphorical sport, but still...)
Buck Owens, from the 60's
You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen
Round and round, go round and round
Meanest hunk of woman that anybody's ever seen
Down in the arena
Jim Croce
!! I never heard of that song, but Leon Russell has one that's
Stars above, I fell in love
with the queen of the roller derby
(queen of the roller derby).
My son turned ten just the other day
He said Thanks for the ball dad,
Come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw?
I said not today
Cats in the Cradle
Harry Chapin
He loves his damned old rodeo
As much as he loves me
"Someday Soon"
Oh Stewball was a racehorse,
and I wish he were mine
He never drank water,
he only drank wine.
Stewball - Peter Paul & Mary version
Three lions on a shirt.
Jules Rimet still gleaming.
Thirty years of hurt, never stopped me dreaming.
I know that it was then, but it could be again.
It's coming home, it's coming home.
It's coming, football's coming home.
Three Lions by The Lightning Seeds
(btw, the term 'football' in this song means soccer - it's an English band)
Lebanon, Charles de Gaulle, California baseball,
Starkweather, homicide,
children of thalidomide...
---Billy Joel "We Didn't Start the Fire"
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
"River," Joni Mitchell
