One Toke Over the Line - Brewer and Shipley

 

Awaitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary 
Hopin' that the train is on time 
Sittin' downtown in a railway station 
One toke over the line

 

The song is actually about drugs, but back then, I had no idea. It was just a cool song! Here's the story behind the song . . .

Highway Star - Deep Purple

Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power big fat tires
And everything
I love it and I need it
I bleed it 
Yeah it's a wild hurricane
Alright hold tight
I'm a highway star
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” - Jimi Hendrix
