Marty Robbins

I think about the thing I've done, I know it wasn't right
They'll bury Flo tomorrow, but they're hanging me tonight,

John for Paul

Those freaks was right when they said you was dead

The sound you make is Muzak to my ears

Tonight I'm looking for a drunk girl
To come and sail away with me

I could be that shallow too
If only I wasn't in so deep

"Then She Did" - Jane's Addiction
"Moonlight Motel" - Gun Club

My rider got somethin', she's tryin' a keep it hid
My rider got somethin', she's tryin' a keep it hid
Lord, I got somethin' to find that somethin' with
I feel like choppin', chips flyin' everywhere
I feel like choppin', chips flyin' everywhere

Thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes,

Peter Wolf Growin' Pain:

Envy always finds its mark
Hate can see clear in the dark
Everything around here is a growin' pain

Stand up coming years

ROCKMAN

I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back
And started walkin' toward a coffee colored Cadillac
I was pushin' through the crowd tryna get to where she's at
And I was campaign shouting like a southern diplomat

Nadine, honey is that you?
everytime I see you your up to something new

Although I don't really agree with it, one of my favorite lyrics has always been ...

"The sunshine bores the daylights out of me."

I walk 47 miles of barbed wire
I use a cobra snake for a necktie
I got a brand new house on the roadside
Made from rattlesnake hide
I got a brand new chimney made on top
Made out of a human skull
Now come on take a walk with me Arlene
And tell me who do you love?

.............. Who Do You Love - Ellas McDaniel

Wilder Shores of Love-Marianne Faithful

Before They Make Me Run - Only a crowd can make you feel so alone...

And a few more obvious ones...

Keith
Well i never kept a dollar past sunset/It always burned a hole in my pants

and Dylan again
How does it feel?/To be on your own/With no direction home
A complete unknown/Like a rolling stone

Well i never kept a dollar past sunset/It always burned a hole in my pants..

My Ma claim's that this happened when I turned 27, It was just too easy..

Then Keith said, "Our Fan's party harder than we ever did"

S":t really..

I never did lines off a Bowie Knife

"Who's that woman on yur arm, I'll dressed up to do you harm?"

"I wish I ddn't know now what I didn't know then" Bob Seger

Bop bopa-a-lu a whop bam boo .... Little Richard

(Naah, just kidding )

The first ever lyrics I quoted (in my 1973 thesis accompanied by the Stones logo):

Raise your glass to the hard working people
Let's drink to the uncounted heads
Let's think of the wavering millions
Who needs leading, but get gamblers instead

But "there are so many more beauties, I wouldn't know where to start ..."

Quote

“I met a gin-soaked bar room queen in Memphis...”

I still think it is one of the best lyrics ever. In 10 words you are transported into another world Springsteen-style.

100% agree. The most genius opening line ever.

John Hiatt / Slow Turning

Now I'm in my car
I got the radio on
I'm yellin' at the kids in the back seat
'Cause they're bangin' like Charlie Watts

Tombstone head and a graveyard mind,
Just 22 and I don't mind dying.

John Hiatt / Slow Turning

Now I'm in my car
I got the radio on
I'm yellin' at the kids in the back seat
'Cause they're bangin' like Charlie Watts

and another from John Hiatt: 'Real Fine Love'

Well now I never went to college babe/I did not have the luck
Stole out of Indiana/ In the back of a pickup truck
No education higher/Than the streets of my hometown
I went looking for a fire just to burn it all down.
