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!

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway...
3 Wooden Crosses, Randy Travis
Oh the water is wide
I can not cross over
Oldie, real olide
You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
Thunder Road
Bruce Springsteen
I used to walk in the shade
With the blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid
This rover
Crossed over
(McHugh/Fields, "On the Sunny Side of the Street")
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
You understand now why you came this way
-CSNY
Now it seems that you wanted a martyr
Just a regular guy wouldn't do
But baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
Jim Croce
On a hill far away
stood an old rugged cross
the emblem of suffering and shame
-hymn
Many rivers to cross
Still I can't seem to find
My way over
Jimmy Cliff
Crossin' the highway late one night,
He shoulda looked left and he should looked right...
Loudon Wainwright's fabulous tune - Dead Skunk
At the cross, at the cross
Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
(rolled away...)
Baptist thing
cry
don't cry out loud
you gotta bear your cross
but never dream too loud
"january friend" (goo goo dolls)
Gotta have my suffering
So that I can have my cross
"Crucify" - Tori Amos
choose
choose your side
spit on mine
intolerance is bliss!
narrow mind
you decide
so cross me off your list
"knowledge" (donots)
Oh do you remember sweet Betsy from Pike
Who crossed the wide prairie with her lover Ike
Oh ferry, cross the Mersey
Cause this land's the land I love
And here I'll stay
(an early-60's thing by someone... can't remember)
I'm here
to remind you
of the cross I bear that gave to me
you, you, you oughtta know...
---Alanis Morissette
hello europe, here we are
everything is easy:
let's cross the border
without stop
"ship of fools" (fury in the slaughterhouse)
Hands across the water
hands across the (sea?)
Wings
(I was a John Lennon fan in those days so I don't know the song well.)
Oh Shenandoah,
I long to see you
'Cross the wide Missouri
Your mother was a wolf bite
your daddy was a cigarette
your brother was a rosebud
cross-bred with a car wreck
your sister was a stockbroker but
you ain't nothin' but a turtleneck...
---Jewel, "Love Me Just Leave Me Alone"
(some of the most unusual lyrics, I still can't figure them out!)
Hot cross buns.
Hot cross buns.
One a penny, two a penny.
Hot cross buns.
Meghan, thank you!!

Ride a cockhorse to Banbury cross
To see a fine lady upon a white horse
And they that would their true loves win
At miles cross they maun bide, my love
from Tam Lin, the longest ballad I know
It was there by faith, I received my sight, and now I am happy all the day.
I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
"Crossroads," by Robert Johnson, famous by Cream
(delete if "crossroads" doesn't count.)
