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!

Lay, lady lay,
lay across my big brass bed
Bob Dylan
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminder
Of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him til he cried out
In his anger and his pain,
"I am leaving, I am leaving,"
But the fighter still remains
(Paul Simon)
Come a little closer baby
I feel like laying you down
Dierks Bentleys
If I lay here,
If I just lay here,
would you lie with me and just forget the world?

"If You're Reading This"
I lay in bed in the dark
And all that I can see
Is the distance that grows between us
You seem so far from me

I'm gonna lay down my burden
Down by the riverside
spiritual
I want to lay you down
in a bed of roses
-Bon Jovi
Make my bed sick
Cause I'm gonna be sick
And lay me down to die
(A more humorous version of "Lord Randall," which usually goes
"Make my bed soon
For I'm sick to my heart
And I fain would lie down.")
Hold me closer tiny dancer
count the headlights on the highway
lay me down in sheets of linen...
---Elton John
They have slain the Earl O'Murray
And they've laid him on the green
He was the bra'est gallant
And rode at the ring
And the bonny Earl O'Murray,
He might ha' made a king
I know it as a ballad, but I think it was composed and not traditional.
Like all the fair maidens who've laid down beside him
She knew in her heart that he'd lied
The Silver Tongued Devil and I
Kris Kristofferson
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early morning light
All I'm taking is your time
Help Me Make It Through the Night
Kris Kristofferson
So lay your head back on the ground
Let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
This is the end of the innocence
Don Henley
Lay down Sally, and rest you in my arms,
Don't you think you need someone to talk to?
Lay Down Sally

I will lay on the highway
somewhere in New Mexico

I just gotta say it's ironic the song Laid doesn't contain the word "laid" :D
The Lord's my Shepherd,
I'll not want.
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green he leadeth me
The quiet waters by.
--a version of the 23rd Psalm. I think it can be sung to the tune of "The House of the Rising Sun."
