Well I ain't always right but I've never been wrong,
Seldom turns out the way it does in a song.
Once in a while you get shown the light,
In the strangest of places if you look at it right.

I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Here by Thy great help I’ve come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

a couple from Mike Cooley:

From Zip City:

"Keep your drawers on girl,
it ain't worth the fight.
By the time you drop'em
I'll be gone
and you'll be right where they fall
the rest of your life"

"I've got 350 heads on a 305 engine
I Get 10 miles to the gallon
I ain't got no good intentions"

from Panties in your Purse:
"Saw you standing in the hallway, red plastic cup, and one of them big long
Cigarettes
You asked me if I could play you some Dylan
I said "Dylan who?" and you told me to kiss your arse
I apologized, but you could tell I didn't mean it by the way I rolled my eyes
And when you said it wasn't me it was you
Somehow I knew you were gonna tell me why"

James McMurtry, Levelland:
"Flatter than a tabletop
makes you wonder why they stopped here
wagon must have lost a wheel
or they lacked ambition, one"

we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year. running over the same old ground, what have we found? the same old fears

May the good Lord shine a light on you
Make every song your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun

Now I'm out of prison, I got me a friend at last
He don't steal or cheat or drink or lie
His name's codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
Together we're gonna wait around and die


Damn that's dark.

can't go with my heart when i
can't feel what's in it i
thought you'd come over
but for some reason you didn't
glass on the pavement under my shoe
without you is all my life amounts to

Lots of White Stripes lyrics meet my fancy for this one.

Icky Thump for right now...

quote:

White Americans, what, nothing better to do?
Why don't you kick yourself out, you're an immigrant too.

Who's usin' who, what should we do?
Well you can't be a pimp and a prostitute too


ETA: son house -- grinnin in your face

quote:

Don't you mind people grinning in your face
They'll jump you up and they jump you down
They'll try to turn you 'round and 'round
As soon as you turn your back around
They'll try and crush you down
Don't you mind people grinning in your face

Still the king in my book, no matter how many times I try to replace it.

Time, Pink Floyd


quote:

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away, Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find.
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday, Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine.

Opinions were like kittens

It's time to take my drunk arse home...
I drank all the whiskey and my moneys all gone...
Hit on all the girls, sang every song...
It's time to take my drunk arse home...
