64. From which popular country song do these lyrics come:
"Maybe you got all you got together
And maybe you keep rollin' like a stone
Maybe some old lonesome song'll take you by surprise
And leave you just a little more alone"?

Answer:
Stranger
The words of the chorus are,
"And she said, Stranger, shut out the light and lead me
Somewhere, shut out the shadows too
And while we lay here, makin' believe you love me
Stranger, could I believe in you".
The smooth baritone voice of John "Johnny" Richard Duncan made the song "Stranger" a top ten hit in 1976. Another hit that reached number one that same year was called, "Thinking of a Rendezvous". Duncan discovered the versatile singer, Janie Fricke, of Dallas, Texas, and began utilizing her voice as his back up on records and stage as well. Fricke, with the help of Johnny Duncan, later went solo and became a successful artist in her own right. Other hits were: "It Couldn't Have Been Any Better", "Come A Little Bit Closer" and "She Can Put Her Shoes Under My Bed Anytime". He not only was a great country singer, but also penned songs that were recorded by legendary artists such as: Charley Pride, Chet Atkins, Conway Twitty, Jim Ed Brown and Marty Robbins. Johnny Duncan was born in Dublin, Texas on October 5, 1938 and was a cousin to Jimmy Seals (of the duo Seals & Crofts) and country singer Dan Seals. He died on August 14, 2006 of a heart attack.
