"Bad Night at the Whiskey"

In the line "Bringin' my soul brothers down" in "Bad Night at the Whiskey," "down" is sung with a descending melisma (G F#), so while it's used more metaphorically, there's a sense of the word's meaning.

"Pretty Polly"

In the first "There used to be a gambler who courted all around" in "Pretty Polly" (an-other bonus track on the CD re-issue of Sweetheart of the Rodeo), the three syllables of "all around" are each sung to a different pitch (C Bb G), musically giving a sense of breadth.

"Down into the valley" and "Down into the grave" are both sung to descending phrases (D D C Bb G F and D D C Bb G respectively), musically giving a sense of the "down into"s.

"You Got a Reputation"

In some of the "tearin' your own reputation down" phrases in "You Got a Reputation" (a bonus track on the CD re-issue of Sweetheart of the Rodeo), the "down" is sung with a descending melisma (B A G#), musically giving a sense of the word's meaning.

"One Hundred Years from Now"

In "One Hundred Years from Now," there are the lines "But people are always talkin' / You know they're always talkin'."  That "always talkin'" is rhymed with itself illustrates the constancy of "always."
