Song Challenge Day 8: A Song That I Know All the Words To

When it comes to songs I know the words to, well, I know a lot of them, but never off the top of my head.  People who know me know I can take a song and modify the words to fit the current situation, but usually the song I want usually just pops into my head at that time.

To pick a song that I know all of the words to, I scrolled through my iTunes library (in the process realizing there are SO many songs I know of that aren't in my library...), and found the ones that I'd be able to play "Don't Forget the Lyrics" on, and decided that's how I can determine if I know all the words to the song or not.  Problem is, I saw a lot of songs that I knew the choruses to, without really knowing the verses.

Then I saw Flogging Molly's "Worst Day Since Yesterday", and it clicked.  Now I realize there aren't a TON of words in the song, but oh well, I know them all, and it's my challenge.

Funny story, at least to me.  I was driving to work one morning, I had this song playing, and just as the line "as the four winds blow my wits through the door", I passed a school bus, and written on the side was "Four Winds".  I smiled.
