What's your favorite lyric from a song?

R. I. P. Joe Cocker. May heaven greet you Mad Dog!

If talking were illegal
You'd be living a life of crime
Your mind is on vacation but
Your mouth is working overtime

Asleep at the Wheel

Take a little trip back with Father Tiresias
Listen to the old one speak
of all he has lived through

and...

The sands of time were eroded by
the river of constant change

From Ol' Man River- Don't like livin' but keep on dyin'. Not very uplifting but profound.

Very profound indeed, Jim (Broadstone). A correction to the words, though, if I may. They are actually "I'm tired of livin' and scared of dyin'."

Here is a link to the famous performance of the song by the great Paul Robeson in the 1936 version of "Showboat".
