Warren Haynes is a great, emotive writer.

Gov't Mule - Beautifully Broken

Mysterious, blown in with the night
All this beauty captured in a frame
Visibly shaken, but never stirred
Drives them insane
I see the way she plays her men
And I know I've got to know her name
She's so beautifully broken
Shaped by the wind
Dangerously twisted
Here I go again
I see the way, she casts her spell
It's like drownin' in moonlight
Discards them when she is done
They're lost in her twilight
I watch her move from star to star
And I wonder why, why it feels so right
She's so beautifully broken
Barely see the flaw
Especially from a distance
Which is always how I fall
Why do I fall for the dangerous ones
The ones that never learned to let go
Why do I lie to myself
Pretend that I can break her
When she's already been so
Beautifully broken
Why do I fall, dangerous ones
Ones that don't know how to let go
Why do I lie to myself
Pretend that I could break her
When she's already been so
Beautifully broken
Shaped by the wind
Dangerously twisted
Here I go again
Here I go again

Gov't mule - No Need to Suffer

Woman - suspended in time
Heal yourself - no need to stay blind
Spiral dreams - too much to bear
Spiraling who knows where
Let me take you down
No need to suffer anymore
Wrap yourself in the warmth of my arms
And we'll lie awake till sleep overtakes us
Can't you see
There's no need to suffer anymore
Defenseless, trapped in a cage
Blissfulness devoured by the rage
Fate's been cruel, though the years have been kind
You've go to heal yourself - no need to stay blind
Let me take you down
No need to suffer anymore
Wrap yourself in the warmth of my arms
And we'll laugh out loud while the earth dies screaming
Can't you see
There's no need to suffer anymore
And we'll fly away
And look down at the earth below
Fly away and we'll never look back
No, we'll never look back
Woman suspended in time
Heal yourself - no need to stay blind

Blackberry Smoke

No one really knows just what they're doin'
Fake it and try not to let it show
If you find an ace
Don't let 'em read it on your face
But they don't tell ya 'til you're old enough to know
Sometimes it feels like the rules are always changin'
The darkness and the light just come and go
Then before too long you're on the edge of right or wrong
But they don't tell ya till you're old enough to know
It's mostly uphill goin' from the cradle to the grave
A junkie needs a needle, a preacher needs a soul to save
Stay somewhere in the middle
Stand behind the things you say
I guess we all just learn it as we go
They don't tell ya 'til you're old enough to know
Don't ever trust a grown man with a nickname
You will reap exactly what you sow
And nothing worth a damn happens after 2 AM
But they don't tell ya 'til you're you're old enough to know
It's mostly uphill goin' from the cradle to the grave
A junkie needs a needle, a preacher needs a soul to save
Stay somewhere in the middle
Stand behind the things you say
I guess we all just learn it as we go
They don't tell ya 'til you're old enough to know
They don't tell ya 'til you're old enough to know

Us And Them by Pink Floyd

Honorable mention to Within You Without You by the Beatles.

I don’t have a problem with anyone who says Dark Side is the best rock album of all time. I’d tend to agree. But it wouldn’t exist if not for Sgt. Pepper’s.

Ween:

My dinner's on fire while she watches TV
And if you've ever wondered what it's like to be me
She takes all my money and leaves me no smokes
Yells at my buddies and insults my folks
I'm breakin' my back doin' the best that I can
She's got time for the dog and none for her man
And I'm no dope, but I can't cope
So hit the frickin' road and piss up a rope
You can piss up a rope
And you can put on your shoes, hit the road get truckin'
Pack your bag, I don't need the ag
On your knees you big, booty bitch start suckin'
You ride my arse like a horse in a saddle
Now you're up shits creek with a turd for a paddle
And I can't cope piss up a rope
Uh, you can piss up a rope and feel the pissy dribble
You can piss up a rope and watch me giggle
For the last 6 months I been packin' your bag
You can wash my balls with a warm, wet rag
Till my balls feel smooth and soft like silk
I'm sick of your mouth and your 2 percent milk
And I'm no dope, but I've lost all hope
So hit the frickin' road and piss up a rope
You can piss up a rope
And you can put on your shoes, hit the road get truckin'
Pack your bag, I don't need the age
On your knees you big, booty bitch start suckin'
You ride my arse like a horse in a saddle
Now you're up shits creek with a turd for a paddle
And I can't cope piss up a rope

From that same song :

I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind.
You coulda done better but I don't mind.
You just kinda wasted my precious time.
Don't think twice, it's all right.

Plenty - but off the top of my head

Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again

The percentage you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest, was
The low spark of high-heeled boys

She comes back to tell me she's gone
As if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own bed
As if I'd never noticed the way she brushed her hair back from her forehead

“Tucson Arizona, rises in the heat like a mirage”
Dan Fogelberg
Actually the whole song is poetry

“Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy, won't you look down over me?
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be”

Probably not the best of all time but I always liked it:

“The earth laughs beneath my feet at the blasphemy of my old jangly walk”
