ha! nc..that old chestnut!

according to 'Songfacts.com'...
it ends with Cetera singing a line that comes out of nowhere:
"You're gonna be the lucky one,"
leaving even more to the imagination. :/

Of course? I don't get it. But I don't get most of these when the answers are given.

Car- RR( Rolls Royce) - containing award - OBE - to change course - TACK- round state - FLA (Florida).

[Gordon]

Thanks NC.

Florida is FL, which is the only bit I could work out. Is RR=car a standard cryptic crossword thing? I haven't done cryptic crosswords for years, and wasn't very good at them then (as you could probably guess).

Hi Gordon....

The 'RR'abbreviation is used as part of the Rolls Royce Logo, so that seems fair game to me https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...

And most American States seem to get abbreviated down to 2 or 3 letters depending on whether they are
postal addresses, data processing, general abbreviations, and other purposes.
see my next post.

[Sj]

I'd had 'Roberta Flack' written down in front of me for at least a day before i fell in
I do regret now that i wrote 'Of course....' that possibly came across as condescending

I used this from Wiki when I was trying to work out the answer

Dearie me, what a controversy I have unintentionally stirred up. Just done some googling and apparently FLA is now outmoded and replaced by FL. I'm behind the times, so 'my bad' as they say over there.
