A friend of mine asked a question I didnt have an answer for & I thought someone out there might.?

Question

She said she heard a country song that came out about 93 or 94, sung by a man, that was about him meeting a woman in a bar & they were telling of things they had done wrong in a recent relationship. At the end they discover that they were speaking to the person they were in the relationship with. Does anyone have a clue what song this might be?

She said it started out with the man asking if the seat next to the woman was taken. She knows it's not the George Starit song That Wasn't my Chair After All & it's not You Have the Right to Remain Silent (that's what I came up with)

Answer 1

This song doesn't exactly fit the description but it sounds a little like George Strait's song 'Lead On'.

Answer 2

Actually, it sounds a lot like Pina Colata, to me.

I was tired of my lady
We'd been together too long
Like a worn-out recording
Of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping
I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I read

"If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape."

I didn't think about my lady
I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady
Have fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper
Took out a personal ad
And though I'm nobody's poet
I thought it wasn't half bad

"Yes I like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
I'm not much into health food
I am into champagne
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
And cut through all this red-tape
At a bar called O'Malley's
Where we'll plan our escape."

So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady
And she said, "Oh it's you."
Then we laughed for a moment
And I said, "I never knew."

That you like Pina Coladas
Getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean
And the taste of champagne
If you'd like making love at midnight
In the dunes of the Cape
You're the lady I've looked for
Come with me and escape

Answer 3

there was a song sung by Vince Gill and Reba Mcintyre called " The heart won't lie" that was out in 93 could it be that one

Looking back over the years
Of all the things i've always meant to say
But the words didn't come easily
So many times through empty fears
Of all the nights i tried to pick up the phone
So scared of who might be answering

You try to live your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away

Chorus:
Cause the heart won't lie
Sometimes life gets in the way
But there's one thing that won't change
I know i've tried
The heart won't lie
You can live your alibi
Who can see you're lost inside a foolish disguise
The heart won't lie

Long after tonight
Will you still hear my voice through the radio
Old desires make us act carelessly
Long after tonight, after the fire
After the scattered ashes fly
Through the four winds blown and gone
Will you come back to me

You try to love your life from day to day
But seeing you across the room tonight
Just gives me away

Answer 4

Somewhere I'm getting this little voice that's telling me you're trying to find a song by Bill Anderson. I think they were in a lounge at the airport. I hope you figure it out.

Answer 5

Sammy Kershaw had one sorta like that....."meant to be"


Well first I missed my plane
So I wound up on your flight
Then we got stuck in Dallas-Ft. Worth
Half the night
And the only vacant seat
You could find at gate twenty-nine
Was one next to mine

Call it fate
Destiny
Call it luck you ended up with me
But some things are meant to be
Coincidence
Circumstance
Or something bigger that's just out of our hands
Oh some things are meant to be

You said Atlanta was your home
Well I happened to live there too
I'd just broken up with someone and so had you
And when you said for everyone
There is someone they're meant to find
I knew I'd found mine

Call it fate
Destiny
Call it luck you ended up with me
But some things are meant to be
Coincidence
Circumstance
Or something bigger that's just out of our hands
Oh some things are meant to be

Coincidence
Circumstance
Or something bigger that's just out of our hands
Oh some things are meant to be
Baby some things are meant to be
