On That Note: I Got a Line on You

[Cupped]

The Who, Won't Get Fooled Again

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone



The Rolling Stones, Monkey Man


I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
All my friends are junkies
That's not really true

 

[BoxsterCy]

Baby, baby.
Baby, don't leave me
Ooh, please don't leave me,
all by myself.

One of my favorite starts is a J. Geils song. Know the first beginning by heart.

You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can't win

 

[bawbie]

Hands down my favorite:

Well, I've been spending all my money on weed and pills, trying to write a song that will pay the bills, it ain't came yet, so I'll guess I'll have to rob a bank

(for some reason there's not a great Sturgill version so I went with the Posty cover)

 

[michaelrr1]

"One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces"

 

[Althetuna]

ZZ Top: Jesus Left Chicago

"Jesus just left Chicago and He's bound for New Orleans."




Alternatively...

Charlie Daniels Band: Devil Went Down To Georgia

"The Devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin' for a soul to steal."

 

[Althetuna]

Muddy Water: Got My Mojo Working

"Got my mojo workin' but it just don't work on you."

 

[Althetuna]

Jimi Hendrix: Hey Joe

"Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?"

 

[Cyclonepride]

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers "Rebels"

"Honey don't walk out I'm too drunk to follow"

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Well, I'm here looking through an old picture frame
Just waiting for the perfect view

 

[Turn2]

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
a tale of a fateful trip,
that started from this tropic port,
aboard this tiny ship.

 

[Turn2]

Okay, how about...

Ring! Ring! It's 7:00 A.M.!
Move y'self to go again
Cold water in the face
Brings you back to this awful place
Knuckle merchants and you bankers, too
Must get up an' learn those rules
Weather man and the crazy chief
One says sun and one says sleet

 

[CYdTracked]

"They say "Love is more precious than gold"
Can't be bought and it can't be sold
I got love enough to spare
That makes me a millionaire"



The story behind this lyric is interesting. Per Gessle said it was inspired by a note his girlfriend (now wife) left on his piano that he found when he came home late one night. Thought that was a neat story behind how it inspired the opening line of the song he wrote.

"Hello, you fool, I love you"

 

[cyclones500]

“How can I believe that everything in this world is going to be fine?”

 

[cyclones500]

“Please allow me to introduce myself.”

 

[cycloner29]

On a long and lonesome highway East of Omaha

 

[drlove]

Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth.

 

[cytor]

"So Fuking What".....

 

[cyclones500]

“If I had my time again, I would do it all the same.”

 

[Turn2]

"Yankee soldier
He want to shoot some skag"

 

[pourcyne]

Hello. How are you? Have you been all right?
