What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

"Bar-tender asks me 'Son, what'll it be'?, I'll have a shot of that red-head yonder lookin' at me."

Brooks & Dunn, Boot Scootin Boogie
The complete lyrics in Lucinda Williams' song "West" on the album of the same title are the sweetest, most endearing I've heard in a long, long time. The chord sequence and melody are also magnificent, absolutely beautiful. Heart-wrenching, actually.
Oops. "West" is a fantastic song, but it was "Are You Alright?" that I meant to single out for it's lyrical content. It you weren't in love when the song begins, you will be by the time it ends.
"If you’ve got somebody -you can trust to the very end -I said if you do I want to be like you -’Cause you sure got a real good friend"
Grand Funk Railroad - In Need
