Best Line in a Song

[tschiraldi]

Just before the sun come up, she couldn't take no more, she came undone, crying and a crawlin' for the door.
It's Hard to be an Outlaw... Billy Joe Shaver.

 

[tschiraldi]

In many ways, she's a lot like me
She don't give a damn 'bout society
Might be little rich girl, she might be poor
Might be a married woman that needs a little more

Outlaw Women! Classic!

 

[tschiraldi]

You'd just say the same old thing
That you be sayin' all along,
Just lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut,
Till I'm gone.
Understand Your Man... Johnny Cash

 

[tschiraldi]

I love the smell of cigarettes and whiskey on a woman's breath, the sound of outlaw music sets me free!
Travis Tritt

 

[tschiraldi]

It's goin' down tonight
Now there pullin' up
We got the jacked up trucks slap covered in mud
Bikini tops and Daisy Duke denim
Hoppin' out singin' outlaw women down on
Our side of the barbed wire...
Kick it in the Sticks

 

[turbomunkey]

Forgot my woman, lost my friends
Things I'd done, where I've been
Sleep in sweat the mirrors cold
See my face, it's growin' old
Scared to death no reason why
Do whatever to get me by
Think about the things I said
Read the page it's cold and dead

"I Was as Innocent as I Could Be
I Didn't Know Lil Was Big Ed's Wife to Be
He Took Out His Knife and Gave it a Throw
When It's Springtime in Alaska I'll Be Six Feet Below"

Johnny Horton singing "When Its Springtime in Alaska"

 

[jeremyreeves]

It's many a fine lady that's walked along beside me
with their flesh made of velvet and their eyes made of rain.
Some tried to hold me, to hurt me, to hide me
and some turned away not to look back again.

One stood among them I remember most clearly
Her sorrows were heavy and her laughter was slow.
I courted her gently, and I loved her most dearly,
and I came her majestic reflections to know.

Her words like a mountain stood lonely and lofty,
with her face like a daydream and her hair like the shawl
worn by a mourner as he steals away softly
From them who would have him mourn nothing at all

--Townes Van Zandt

“My girlfriend thinks she’s fat, she doesn’t look fat to me.”

 

[Aomalley27]

I think it’s either third or fourth stanza.....
“Let’s all plug a bomb up of everybody’s ass...” Udo Dierkschneider must’ve used JFK’s English-German translation book?

 

[RookieGuy]

So our good times starts and ends/ without dollar one to spend/ but how much, baby, do we really need?

- I forget who wrote that for the Monkees

 

[OlJawBone]

You know there aint no devil thats just god when he’s drunk - Tom Waits

 

[Aomalley27]

- I forget who wrote that for the Monkees

John Stewart of the Kingston Trio?
They also had a song written by Mr. Neil Diamond..... I’m a Believer.
He also wrote A little bit me, a little bit you, which definitely sounds like Neil Diamond work.

 

[troutface]

Jack was sittin poker faced, bullets backed with bitches
Neal was at the wheel keepin everyone in stitches
Braggin about some nurse he screwed while drivin through Nebraska
And when she came she honked the horn and Neal just barely missed a truck
-Tom Waits

 

[perdurabo]

I’m so caught up in the tree of stars
Falling in my backyard

Another Space Song-Failure

 

[perdurabo]

And another one:

I get my kicks above the waste line; sunshine.

One Night In Bangkok-Murray Head

 

[dino]

I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven

-Baba O'Reily, Pete Townshend

 

[lraisch]

"I knew the gun was loaded, but I didn't think it'd kill
but everything exploded and the blood began to spill"

 

[dino]

Mother died and left me reckless,
Daddy died and left me wild
No, I'm not good lookin'
but I'm some sweet woman's angel child

-Statesboro Blues, Blind Willie McTell

"You take Sally and I'll take Sue, Ain't no difference between the two." - Bob Dylan

Sorry but it's Jackson Browne on the Running on Empty Album.
