Question
Do you know of a song with the lyrics in it, ONE OF THESE NIGHTS THINGS HAVE TO GET BETTER THAN THIS,AND IN ANOTHER VERSE OF THE SONG,I TRIED TO START THE ENGINE BUT THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN, AND AN OTHER VERSE LIVE A LITTLE GIVE A LITTLE. MY HUSBAND HAS HEARD THIS SONG SEVERAL TIMES ON A CLASSIC ROCK STATION BUT THEY NEVER GIVE THE TITLE OR ARTIST.

Answer
  I waited until I had time to do some research before answsering.  I cannot find any song that has those particular lyrics and I cannot remember a song that has them.   There is a song by the Eagles called "One Of These Nights" that was quite popular,  but it does not have those exact lyrics.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
