I may have already nominated one or more of these, but they're worth repeating:

- "No matter how I struggle and strive, I'll never get out of this world alive". Hank Williams didn't have to wait long; he died at only 29 years of age.

- "How can I miss you when you won't go away". Dan Hicks spoke for everyone who couldn't get rid of a bad spouse (ask me how I know ;-) .

- "God may forgive you, but I won't". Iris Dement is a genius.

Is this Lou Reed’s best lyric?

I’m Set Free
The Velvet Underground
 
I’ve been set free and I’ve been bound
To the memories of yesterday’s clouds
I’ve been set free and I’ve been bound

And now I’m set free
I’m set free
I’m set free to find a new illusion

I’ve been blinded but
Now I can see
What in the world has happened to me?
The prince of stories who walks right by me

And now I’m set free
I’m set free
I’m set free to find a new illusion

I’ve been set free and I’ve been bound
Let me tell you people
What I found
I saw my head laughing
Rolling on the ground

And now I’m set free
I’m set free
I’m set free to find a new illusion
 
 
Simply beautiful.
The sometimes unbearable nature of freedom means that the search for the next illusion goes on.
For some reason I thought the line was,
'To the memories of yesterday’s clowns'
 
Oh well, here’s a very different version, recorded live at Max’s Kansas City.
