What are some of your favorite lines from a song

[sailor]

Here's one that is apropos.
Freaks and herets, dykes and ferries
Tell me where there's sanity.

"Ten Years After"
A Space in Time..

I'd love, to turn you on....
But, I don't know what to do...

[SV72]

Alan Jackson
Everything but he the wings
“So never go away
If heaven calls you back just ask if you can stay”

Cody Jinks
“Ain’t no wisdom in that whiskey”

Tristan Marez
“I”li paint that little room blue for that little bitty me and you”

Alan Jackson
“'Cause life's like a river
And the water is deep
Cross it with care
Or you'll end up like me
Let my mistakes
Be your steppin' stones
And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on”

George Strait - Blue Melodies
The whole song

BTW.....great thread

"Some day I hope to walk along heavens street,
I'll still be looking for my taco meat"

If I'm a songwriter and the lyrics, "nobody in his right mind woulda left her", pop in my head I'm already planning retirement from that paycheck.

Is this all that's left
Of my life before me
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs
No happy ending like they've always promised
There's got to be something left for me
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare

Queensryche. Nice.

Cause the boys in the hood are always hard
You come talkin' that trash, we'll pull your card
Knowin' nothin' in life, but to be legit
Don't quote me, boy, 'cause I ain't said ****

Car rolls up…Who can it be ?

Darlin' Be Home Soon, John Sebastian

Come and talk of all the things we did today
Here and laugh about our funny little ways
While we have a few minutes to breathe
And I know that it's time you must leave

But darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to


Out in the Country, Three Dog Night

Out where the rivers like to run, I stand alone and bring back something worth remembering...

Great song. David Gates and Bread had a number of them. Went to Tulsa Will Rogers HS. Many good musicians in and out of Tulsa.

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show 'the you' I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?

There's no one home but you
You're all that's left me too
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me.

If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.

If the world would stop spinning, slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through

Then one by one the stars would go out
Then you and I would simply fly away.

As I continue my am workouts trying to get in better shape for an elk hunt, this comes to mind.

Watch what you say to someone with nothing, it’s almost like having it all.
Song is looking for a job by Todd Snider, redone in the last 10 years by MIckey and the motorcars the entire song is filled with great lines. The one above is my favorite.

Song

It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try’ as I may I can never explain
What I hear when you don’t say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes saying you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

Written by Paul Overstreet performed by Keith Whitley

I still can hardly get through this song without my eyes watering.

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
I still can't believe you're gone
It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder who you'd be today
Would you see the world, would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Some days the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
I know it might sound crazy
It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder who you'd be today
Today, today, today
Today, today, today
Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know I'll see you again someday
Someday, someday
-Kenny Chesney

"If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough. When you get knocked down, you gotta get back up. That's the way it is in life and love. If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough."

Reopen thread after George Jones “He stopped loving her today” and add Charlie Daniel’s “Simple Man”.

I ain’t nothin but a simple man
They call me a redneck and I recon that I am
But there’s things goin on that make me mad down to the core
I have to work like a dog to make ends meet
There’s crooked politicians and crime in the street
And I’m madder than hell and I ain’t gonna take it no more

We tell our kids “just say no”
And some panty -waist judge let’s a drug dealer go
Slaps him on the wrist and turns him back out on the town
But if I had my way with people sellin dope
I’d take a big tall tree and a short piece of rope
I’d hang up high and let em swing till the sun goes down

Well you know what’s wrong with the world today
People done gone and put their Bible away
They’re living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
Well the Good Book says it so I know it’s the truth
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go and ember where you’ve been
That’s the way I see it I’m a simple man

Now I’m the kind of man that wouldn’t harm a mouse
But if I catch somebody breaking in my house
I got a 12 -guage shotgun waitin on the other side
So don’t pushin me against my will
I don’t want to fight you but I darn sure will
If you don’t want trouble then you’d better just pass me by

As far as I’m concerned they’re ain’t no excuse
For the rapin and the killin and child abuse
But I’ve got a way to put an end to all that fast
You just take them rascals out in the swamp
Put em on they’re knees and tie em to a stump
Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest

Well you know what’s wrong with the world today
People done gone and put they’re Bible away
They’re living by the law of the jungle not the law of the land
Well the Good Book says it so I know it’s the truth
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
You better watch where you go and ember where you’ve been
That’s the way I see it I’m a simple man

Watch where you go and remember where you’ve been
That’s the way I see it I’m a simple man


So much truth to this song it should be our National Anthem. Close thread
