Just don't play "Sundown". That song's boring, plus everyone's heard that one.
I disagree that "Sundown" is boring, and the fact that everyone has heard it may actually work in its favor.
I would nominate "Winter's Night" and "Borderstone." I think they'd go over well in a coffee house.
Totally OT as far as GL songs go, but I once performed Martina McBride's "Cheap Whiskey" in a bar setting.
"Since the hour that she left he's been sober
And each breath that he draws makes him think
About the light of his life gone forever
When he traded her love for a drink
And the darkness still echoes her warning
You can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him till the day that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey and the sound of goodbye"
I didn't think it would fly, because drinkers wouldn't want to hear the "he's sorry he ever started drinking" message, and non-drinkers wouldn't be in a bar.
But it got big applause....
Audiences are unpredictable.
