What are some of your favorite lines from a song

She bangs she bangs she bangs

First I heard of this guy was my brother carrying on about how bad he was. Then of course it’s a big sensation. So I went and bought his CD and put it in my brother’s pickup. I’m pretty sure he has never had a CD. So he just thought the radio was playing that idiot for hours!😂😂😂 it took him a while to figure out it wasn’t the radio.

He left the ring on the pillow
He left the clothes on the floor
And he called her to say he was sorry
But he couldn't remember what for
So he said I've been doin some thinkin
I've been thinkin that maybe you're right
I go to work every morning
And I come home to you every night
And you don't even know who I am
You left me a long time ago
You don't even know who I am
So what do I care if you go
You don't even know who I am
So what do I care if you go

Patty Loveless,you don’t know who I am

I’ve enjoyed this thread. But for the life of me I couldn’t think of a single line from a song, except maybe all of Desperadoes Waiting For a Train.

Then Jerry Jeff told me “the answer my friend, is pi**ing in the sink”.

JJW has great songs! I’m surprised they aren’t on this list

Been awhile since we bumped this thread.
Lord when I die I wanna live
On the outskirts of Heaven
Where there's dirt roads for miles
Hay in the fields and fish in the river
Where there's dogwood trees and honey bees
And blue skies and green grass forever
Lord when I die, I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven

And it comes to be
That the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Is just a freight train coming your way

Big John
Every morning at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
Everybody knew you didn't give no lip to Big John

Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
If ya spoke at all, ya just said hi to Big John

Somebody said he came from New Orleans
Where he got in a fight o'er a cajun queen
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Lousianna fella to the promised land, Big John

Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought they'd breathed their last, 'cept John

Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
Grabbed the saggin' timber and gave out with a groan
And like a giant oak tree, just stood there alone, Big John

And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
Then a miner yelled out, there's a light up above
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave
now there's only one left down there to save, Big John

With jacks and timbers they started back down
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
As smoke and gas belched outta the mine
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big John

Now, they never re-opened that worthless pit
They just placed a marble stand in front of it
These few words are written on that stand,

At the bottom of this mine lies one Hell of a man, Big John

I’m happy to be working instead of wearing chains,
Like my cousin Willy, he’s locked up in La Grange.

[westtexducks]

I’ve been throwing horseshoes
Over my left shoulder

This ain't my first rodeo
This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed
This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show
This ain't my first rodeo
This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show
This ain't my first rodeo

Went the wrong way into Juarez with Juanita on my lap". Big John Cash
"That was just one of the many bad decisions I would make for the next 20 years". Ray Wylie Hubbard

[W E H]

But he still wrote all of it, according to the song anyway.

You’re right he sent it back and it was the perfect country western song.

I sit corrected

Lyrics in quotes - (the second singer - harmonized with the main singer)
Acoustic with several singers - a song of one's nautical end at sea


SOUND OF THE SEA

We sent out the SOS call
It was a quarter past four
In the morning
When the storm broke our second anchor line
Four months at sea
Four months of calm seas
To be pounded in the shallows off
The tip of Montauk Point
They call them rogues
They travel fast and alone
One hundred foot faces
Of God's good ocean gone wrong
What they call love is a risk
You'll always get hit
Out of nowhere
By some wave and end up on your own
The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts
To bail us out
And flooded the engines and radio
And half buried bow
Your tongue is a rudder
It steers the whole ship
Sends your words past your lips
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth
But the wrong words will strand you
Come off course while you sleep
Sweep your boat out to sea
Or dash to bits on the reef
The vessel groans
The ocean pressures its frame
To the port I see the lighthouse
Through the sleet and the rain
And I wish for one more day
To give my love and repay debts
But the morning finds our bodies
Washed up thirty miles west
They say that the captain
Stays fast with the ship
Through still and storm
But this ain't the Dakota
The water's cold (so cold)
Won't have to fight for long
This story's old (this is the end)
But it goes on and on
Until we disappear (this is the calm)
Calm me and let me taste (this is the calm)
The salt you breathed
While you were underneath (We are the resin)
I am the one who haunts your (we are the resin)
Dreams of mountains
Sunk below the sea (after the storm)
I spoke the words but never (after the storm)
Gave a thought to what they all could mean (Rest here with me)
I know that this (rest in the deep) is what you want
A funeral keeps both of us apart (Washed up on the beach)
You know that you are not alone (Washed up on the beach)
I need you like water in my lungs (this is the end)
This story's old (this is the end)
But it goes on and on
Until we disappear (this is the calm)
Calm me and let me taste (this is the calm)
The salt you breathed
While you were underneath (We are the resin)
I am the one who haunts your (we are the resin)
Dreams of mountains
Sunk below the sea (after the storm)
I spoke the words but never (after the storm)
Gave a thought to what they all could mean (Rest here with me)
I know that this (rest in the deep) is what you want
A funeral keeps both of us apart (Washed up on the beach)
You know that you are not alone (Washed up on the beach)
I need you like water in my lungs (this is the end)
