You're such an inspiration for the ways
I would never ever choose to be-mJK

In the days we sweet it out on streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride th mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages on highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected and stepping out over the line
Springsteen

I caught you knocking at my cellar door,
I love you baby can I have some more
Ooh ooh the damage done Neil young

I'm a big fan of Conor Oberst as a song writer

I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk
I keep waving at the taxis; they keep turning their lights off

Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive

If you hate the taste of wine
Why do you drink it 'til you're blind?

Well I use to wake the morning, before the rooster crowed, searching for soda bottles to get myself some doh.

"bartender I know you're a reasonable man, seems like you've got the run of this place
So set me up a round so that I can see your hands, and wipe that God damn smile off of your face"

"To seek the sacred river Alph, to walk the caves of ice
To break my fast on honey dew, and drink the milk of paradise"

"And the men who hold high places must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality, closer to the heart"

"There is unrest in the forest, there is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight, and the oaks ignore their pleas"

"And the meek shall inherit the earth"

"Greet the day with a friendly voice, a companion unobtrusive
Plays that song that's so elusive, and the magic music makes your morning mood"

"My uncle has a country place, that no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm, before the motor law"

"Living on a lighted stage stage approaches the unreal, for those who think and feel
In touch with some reality beyond the gilded cage"

"He's a rebel and a runner, he's a signal turning free
He's a restless young romantic, wants to run the big machine"

"An ill wind comes arising, across the cities of the plain
There's no swimming in the heavy water, no singing in the acid rain"

"Wake up tired and I wake up pissed
Wonder how I ended up like this"

"Something bout that wrinkle in your forehead
tells me there's a fit bout to get thrown"

"We made Oklahoma a little after three
Randy, his brother Bob and my old GMC"

"Sherry was a waitress at the only joint in town.
She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around."

"Cant tell if I drink because she bitches, or if she bitches because I drink."

I might be a little liberal with the "one sentence" rule.

"AIDS"

"Yesterday we lost our lives. Tomorrow we were born."

"I hurt myself today..... To see if I still feel."

"I used to be in love with this bitch named E&J. Don't frick wit her no more. Now I frick wit tanqueray."

"I'm just a copy of a copy of a copy..... Everything I say has come before."

"I'm becoming less defined, as days go by.... Fading away..... Well you might say 'I'm losing focus.'"

"Well the sun is surely sinking down, but the moon is slowly rising. So this old world must still be spinnin' round, and I still love you."

"Just a reflection, just a glimpse, just a little reminder..... of all the what abouts, and all the might have could have beens."

"She shines in a world of ugliness. She matters, when everything is meaningless."

"I woke up sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt, and the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert"

"Couldn't roll me a seven if you gave me loaded dice"

"Spent my lifetime wishing the waitress would come around
Telling jokes, shooting pool on the other side of town."

"Well, that label man said "Son now can you sing a little bit more clear"

"Please don't think me a lazy man
Cause I been sitting round all day with the blues"

"Well stage right enter Jimmy,
just a counterfeit James Dean,
with a pocket full of delta blues and cheap amphetamine."

The Rolling Stones were the absolute masters of opening lyrics

Sorry if these were already posted:


Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him with the women just around midnight

I grew up thinking that the last line was "hear him whip the women just around midnight."

From my favorite Led Zep song:

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
