I love that song and line.


"If I shed this skin of iron and this breath of kerosene, Darlin would you take a chance on me?" Lucero "hey Darlin, do you gamble"

A little shot out to Townes there

Sink your money in it
And there you are
The owner of a 2 thousand dollar thousand dollar car er arrrrr.

American Aquarium

She doubted me like Thomas when I needed her like Paul
Turned her back on me like Judas and let me take the fall
She called me a traitor, and she called me a liar
She fed me to the lions and hung me
She hung me out to dry

James McMurtry

I got a thirty-ought-six and a premium load
In a shotgun shack on a two lane road
Smack in the middle of the bible belt
Dancin' in the ruins all by myself

We got the National Guard with the bayonets
We got the ten commandments on the State House steps
We shalt not steal and we shalt not kill
Dancin' in the ruins of our own free will
Dancin' in the ruins of the South
Confederate flag taped over my mouth

quote:

---

But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair,
Such a long, long time to be gone
and a short time to be there

---

Grateful Dead - Box of Rain (Robert Hunter Lyrics)

quote:

---

So forget about your yesterdays of sorrow
And forget about the darkness you have seen
For there's only you and me at the edge of an endless sea
And remember that the only time is now

---

Grateful Dead - The Only Time is Now (Jerry Garcia Lyrics)

quote:

---

I ain't often right
but I've never been wrong
It seldom turns out the way
it does in the song
Once in a while
you get shown the light
in the strangest of places
if you look at it right

---

Grateful Dead - Scarlet Begonias (Robert Hunter lyrics)

I'm not sure I followed your rule, but those are some of my favorites from the dead.

Ruth Ann and Lynn they wear them
cutoff britches and them
skinny little halters and they're
2nd cousins to me
Man I don't care I wanna
get between em with a
Great big ole hard on like an
Old boDock fence post you can
hang a 5 rail gate from do some
sister twistin
till the
cows home

The Doors

"No eternal reward will forgive us for wasting the dawn"

Old bocock fence post you can

Bodock which is Land Mass for Bois d'Arc which is Osage Orange or horse apple.

Cause I ain't never known a man that's ever owned another
And I Ain't ever owned nothin' of my own.
And after 4 long years I just can't tell you
What the hell I've been fighting for.
So take me home, Lone pine hill

Now I'm livin where I can cause I'm homeless
Can't make point calls cause I'm phoneless
I ain't, I'm starvin duke
I can't go to mommas house cause mommas starvin too
Better grab that 12 gauge
Cause thats the only way a ni***z gonna get paid
