Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Ruben James"

Misheard Lyrics:

Moving train

Original Lyrics:

Ruben James

Story about this misheard lyric by: Erin B

I was about 5 years old and couldn't understand any of the lyrics. Except when he said Ruben James, I thought he said, "Moving train"; and I though the song was about the Old West and train robbers. I remember I'd have a hat on and cowboy boots that came all the way up my thighs and shorts and singing, "Moving train!" at the top of my lungs whenever my father played this song. I don't know how he kept a straight face.

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"The Gambler"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

On a warm summer's evenin',
on a train bound for nowhere

Why They're Nonsensical:

Do trains ever really run without any destination? I've certainly never heard of a train bound for nowhere. After all, unlike cars or trucks, which one can drive around aimlessly and turn on a whim, trains are on tracks directing them somewhere in particular.

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"Lucille"

The Misrhymed Lyrics:

After she left us, I ordered more whiskey

Why They're Misrhymed:

ok, so there are some rhymes in this song and I know Kenny didn't intend these lines to rhyme. But whenever I heard this song I just wanted to sing, 'After she left us, I ordered more breakfast.'

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"Through the Years"

The Inappropriate Lyrics:

I can't remember when you weren't there
when I didn't care for anyone but you

Why They're Inappropriate:

The lyrics, tangled as they are, amount to the statement 'I don't care for you, and I can't remember ever *having* cared for you '.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:

"Through the Years"

The Lyrics:

I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you.

Why:

I think Kenny means he can't remember a time when he DID care for anyone but the woman he's serenading, but what he SAYS is the exact opposite - i.e. "Honey, I can't remember a time when I wasn't in love with somebody else, but it was never with you."
