re: Best opening lines to a song

Early one morning the sun was shining
I was laying in bed
Wond'ring if she'd changed it all
If her hair was still red ~ bob zimmerman

Welcome to the Jungle! We got fun n' games, we got everything ya want, honey we know the names!

One of my favorite GnR songs!

I see a red door and I want it painted black

Your daddy works in porno
Now that mommy's not around
She used to love her heroin
But now she's underground

GnR

Memories and drinks don't mix too well
Jukebox records don't play those wedding bells
Looking at the world through the bottom of a glass
All I see is a man who's fading fast

But here I am again mixing misery and gin
Sittin with all my friends and talking to myself

I look like I'm having a good time
But any fool can tell
That this honkytonk heaven really makes you feel like hell

Prop me up against the jukebox if I die!.. that was pretty damn solid too.

Agreed. And so was :

"Bubba shot the jukebox last night."

strong opening is so important, and hard to come up with.. I mean... Last night I slept in the arms of a girl from Louisiana....its not just what it says, it has to roll off the tongue just right and set up the rest of the song.

Carry on Wayward sons by Kansas, good example too

Seven Bridges Road by the Eagles...

Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let 15 cents...

Pulled into Nazareth, was feeling bout half past dead..

I'm no stranger to the rain..


At last..my love has come along,lonely days are over, its almost like a song

I was standing on a corner in winslow, arizona

so, so you think you can tell.....heaven from hell

hello.......is there anybody in there?

here I come again, now baby, just like a dog in heat
