What are some of your favorite lines from a song

[flyinstroke]

Well, the debt that I've been after
All the booze and all the laughter
I guess that's just what makes us who we are
And the people that we lose
And the battles that we choose
Have you pining for something too **** far

Zach Bryan - Condemned

[Russ81]

Too late, too long
Just party through the pain and carry on...

~ Red Shahan, Waterbill

And I would ride through Colorado on a rocky stretch of road
With no one who loves me as far as telephone poles go
I wish I was a trusted man, but a trusted man is weak
The only thing worth trusting is some brass through crooked teeth

~ Zach Bryan, Crooked Teeth

[HAWG DAWG]

It's a long narrow road
Only the good Lord knows
Where it leads in the end
But you have to begin.
So keep your hands on the wheel
Believe in the things that are real
Just take your time
And keep it between the lines.

Ricky Van Shelton

and

I know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain.

Vince Gill

From one of the Green Screen’s own:

“…Yeah, life took him to hell and back,
To hell and back a time or two,
But end the end he beat the Devil
Until he was black and blue
Singing I once was lost,
But now I’m found,
Was blind, but now I see…”

That one brings a tear of joy every time I hear it. Thanks, Aaron!

So I don't want you to think
That you are the first one
To leave me out here on my own
Cause this ain't going to be the first time
This old cowboy spent the night alone

Well Joe I thought we'd just sit down and drink a beer
I know you’re wondering why I called and asked you here
It’s around the town that’s you been seeing Sue
So I called you here to ask if it was true

I wasn't able to isolate just one verse.

AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
--John Newton, 1725-1807

Well, I played ball every single fall I could run just like the wind
Went to college like they asked me to but they didn't ask my friends
Don't think I seen a single classroom but I drank a lot of beer
My buddies still love to listen to me when I talk about that year

Charlie Robison - My Hometown

'Cause it's just two hours to get there, babe
I can make it back about an hour or so
Hold you close against my skin
I need a little warmth on a night so cold
Singing songs you used to sing
The one about the lady in the long black veil
Should have seen the warnings signs
But Lord, I love to hear you wail
High and lonesome, hard and strong
Even if it was a little out of tune
Hotter than socks on a jersey giant
Lord, I thought you hung the moon

Well, I've never met a devil with a one-eyed dog
Well, you could lead a blind man out of Vietnam
Cause everybody's beggin', well, everybody wants a chance
Stuck in a storm, we'll do a rain dance

Journey? I may not know the song you are speaking of, if so my bad..

[jnd1959]

Yes, I am a pirate two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

I've done a bit of smugglin'
I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami
But I ****** it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last

Plus,

Fins to the left,
Fins to the right,
she's the only bait in town.

Then there's this,

And I can see you are an angel,
With wings that won't unfold,
Tune up your harp,
Polish your old halo

The only kind of man that you ever wanted
Was the one that you knew you'd never hold very long
Sittin' there cryin' like I'm the first one to go.


And for good measure...

The loudmouth in the corners gettin' to me,
Talkin bout my earring and my hair,
An I guess he ain't read the signs that say I've been to prison,
An someone better warn him for I knock him off his chair...

...where bankers stare at cowboys, who are laughing at the hippies,
Who are prayin' they'll get out of there alive


But if course,

Baby be a simple kind of man,
Be something, you love and understand.


And yes, I do miss Ray price. One of the best voices in country music.

I have not read this whole thread, so this may have been already posted:

Mac Davis:

Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror
Cause I get better lookin' each day
To know me is to love me
I must be a hell of a man
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble
But I'm doin' the best that I can
