1. "If I had a box" Which song does that snippet come from?

Answer: Time In A Bottle

"If I had a box just for wishes and dreams that had never come true, the box would be empty except for the mem'ry of how they were answered by you." From the 1972 album "You Don't Mess Around With Jim" This song went number one in the US just after Jim's passing September, 1972.

2. "I never was much..." What song is that snippet from?

Answer: Lover's Cross

"Coz I never was much of a martyr before, and I ain't bout to start nothing new, but baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you." From the posthumously released album "I Got A Name" which came out in December 1973.

3. "That what we had..." Where does this snippet belong?

Answer: Thursday

"Well it started out just like a dream and like a dream I knew that what we had, would have to end. Coz I was looking for a lifetim lover and you were looking for a friend." From the Album "I Got A Name" 1973.

4. "Break your heart..." This snippet belongs where?

Answer: Chain Gang Medley (Chain Gang, He Don't Love You & Searching)

From "He Don't Love You" "He don't love you, like I love you, if he did he wouldn't break you heart. But he don't love you, like I love you, he's trying to tear us apart." I believe this is from the album "The Faces I've Been" December 1972

5. "I'd be crawlin'..." Which song can claim this snippet as its own?

Answer: Walkin' Back To Georgia

"Georgia can't you hear me callin'? I'll be home in just a while, and if I had to I'd be crawlin' just to share another mornin' smile. Coz you're the girl who said you loved me, on that hot dusty Macon road. And if you're still around, I'm, gonna settle down with you, my hard-lovin' Georgia-girl." The song is from the album "Don't Mess Around With Jim" released 1972.

6. "Is it hard..." From which song does this snippet originate?

Answer: Mississippi Lady

"Now I'm back in New York City, playing in a band. But my mind's on Mississippi, is hard to understand?" From the posthumously released album "The Faces I've Been" which made its debut in December 1972 just 3 months after Jim Croce's death.

7. "Weepin' willow sang..." Which song claims this snippet?

Answer: Alabama Rain

"Hazy days in mid-July, country summer's evening, a weepin' willow sang it's lullaby and shared out secret. Now and then I find myself, thinking of the days, that we were walking in the Alabama rain." From the January 1973 album "Life and Times"

8. "Comin' up from behind." Which song does this snippet belong to?

Answer: Speedball Tucker

"One day I look into my rearview mirror, and comin' up from behind, there was a Georgia-state policeman and a $100 fine. Well he look me in the eye as he was writin' me up and said, 'Driver you been blind. 95 was the route you were on, it was not the speedlimit sign,'" From the album "Life And Times"

9. "Nights we couldn't..." Which song does this little snippet call home?

Answer: Photographs and Memories

"Summer stars and lullabies, nights we couldn't say goodbye and of all of the things that we knew, not a dream survived."

10. "They keep me going..." Which song does this snippet belong in?

Answer: These Dreams

"Mmm hmm hmm these dreams, they keep me going these days." Jim Croce was born in 1942 and died September 1973, his widow still grieves 30 years on, and I don't blame her, he has some beautiful lyrics.
