Re: FAVORITE SONG LINES

John Prine!  Good call Selso.  How about "They tortured the timber and stripped all the land, then wrote it all down as the progress of man" from Paradise.


For a time, I was thinking about cutting some albums, playlists now I guess, with the theme of Hello on one and Go to (a very warm place some people consider to be mythical).  From the Go to... one, I had a few songs in mind. 

Randy Travis, Too Gone for Too Long, "You're an old rolling stone who's rolled over the hill."

Johnny Cash, Cry, Cry, Cry, "You'll come back to me for some love that's true, but you're going to cry, cry, cry."

Here's few of the hundreds of great lines written by the poet of the American working man - Merle Haggard

"I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days, while Mama used to pray my crops would fail"

"If we make it through December, every things gonna be alright I know."

"My hat don't hang on the same nail too long."

"Losin' wouldn't be so bad at all, but I'm always on a mountain when I fall."

"Sing me back home with the song I used to hear and make my old memories come alive."

"I turned 21 in prison doing life without parole, no one could steer me right but Mama tried"

"If you're runnin' down my country, man you're standin' on the fightin' side of me"

"The roots of my raisin' run deep"

"Keep your retirement and your so-called social security - big city turn me loose and set me free"

"Don't you think they'd like to stop complaining and fly like eagles out among the stars"

A cornacopia of Merle Haggard,,   sweet

Re: FAVORITE SONG LINES

I listened to "Too Gone for Too Long" because I reminded myself of it.  I had forgotten this line, one of the best kiss-off lines ever.  "You've come a long way going the wrong way.  Don't even set your suitcase down."

Do you remember, barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars?
Do you remember, lovin' on the floor in Belsize Park?
Do you remember, dancing in stilletto's in the snow?
Do you remember, you never understood I had to go
