Michael: "where the green grass grows." Not
it.
Scooter: "Just moving slow". THAT'S RIGHT.

Says You Can't Go Home"
BAND: I spent twenty years tryin' / to
get outta this place / I was lookin' for somethin' / I couldn't replace

BAND: Like a blind dog without a bone / I was a gypsy lost...
Shelley: "In the Twilight Zone" (RIGHT!)
BAND: I hijacked a rainbow and crashed...
Rhonda: "into a pot of gold" (RIGHT!)

Shelley: "On this road I've sown" (On
the seeds I've sown).
BAND: Savin' dimes spendin' too much time / on the telephone / Who says
you can't go home / who says you can't go home / There's only one
place...
Rhonda: "They call me one of their own" (RIGHT!)
BAND: Just a hometown boy born a rollin' stone...
Shelley: "Who says you can't go home." (RIGHT!)
You could see Shelley's eyes glaze over
on that last line. Here's your ten. Rhonda, enjoy the 15, don't spend it
all in one place. Next up,... Scooter! ... and Jocelyn.
- 2009, Love and Theft, "Runaway"
BAND: It's been a long week / I've got a
slow leak in my left front tire / I'm sick of where I work / My boss is

everybody sleeping
Scooter: "In this one-horse
town" (In this sleepy town tonight)

(RIGHT!)
Jocelyn couldn't be any more perfect! As
for Scooter... at least he was honest.
After Round 3
Rhonda: 20
Shelley: 15
Scooter: 0
Jocelyn: 20
KARAOKE CHALLENGE (2 points per word)
First up is Scooter. He needs ... all the
help he can get.
- 2004, Montgomery Gentry, "If You
Ever Stop Loving Me".
Scooter gets on the board! Too bad it's
only with nine for 18. Not enough..
Shelley is next. She needs three to take
the lead
- 1979, The Bellamy Brothers, "If I
Said You Have a Beautiful Body, Would You Hold It Against Me"
Break out the brooms, we've got ourselves
a SWEEP! Shelley's now up to 45.
Rhonda needs to beat 45 to move on. Lucky
13 will do it.
- 1962, Flatt & Scruggs, "The Ballad
of Jed Clampett"
She's obviously a fan of the Beverly
Hillbillies, getting up to 48 for her 14.
Jocelyn needs 13 to move on.
- 1973, Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Gimme Three
Steps"
Jocelyn needed 13... She got seven. Not
enough. It's going to be Rhonda and Shelley in...
CHORUS SHOWDOWN
Rhonda will have the honor on the first
song, and the song is from 1993 by Garth Brooks. Rhonda will PLAY.
- 1993, Garth Brooks, "Standing
Outside the Fire"
Rhonda: "Standing outside the fire /
Standing outside the fire / Life is not tried it is merely survived /
When you're standing outside the fire." IF!
IF!
This could be Shelley's big chance at the
upset...
- 2003, Brooks & Dunn, "Red Dirt Road"
Shelley: "It's where I drank my
first beer / It's where I found Jesus / Where I wrecked my first car / I
tore it all to pieces / I've learned the
path to heaven..." I... Not "I've", "I".
Rhonda gets another shot at it.
- 1990, Alan Jackson, "Here in the Real
World"
Rhonda: "But here in the real world /
It's not that easy at all / 'Cause when hearts get broken / It's real
tears that fall / And darlin' it's sad but true /
And the one thing I've learned from you...". BUT! BUT!
Last shot at it for Shelley...
- 1999, George Strait, "Write This
Down"
Shelley: "Baby write this down /
Take a little note / to remind me..." It
was "to remind you"... TIEBREAKER!
TIEBREAKER.... 2006... Kellie Pickler.
Shelley, that's you. "Play."
- 2006, Kellie Pickler, "Red High Heels"
BAND: Well you said watch yourself baby yeah / You know the deal /
Nobody holds a candle to me / in my red high heels / Oh you can watch me
walk / If you want to want to / I bet you want me back now / don't you
don't you...
Shelley: "I'm about to show you / just how missin' me feels..." WINNER!
Shelley went the distance on that one,
but can she make it work for cash money? All she has to do is complete
five songs correctly. Each one is worth $500 cash money. Five is worth
$10,000. BUT, miss one and get a strike. Miss three... game over. But
you do get to take home any cash you win, so no excuse not to go for it.
It's time to play... THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!
