What's your favorite lyric from a song?

And if my thought-dreams could be seen 
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only

Dylan
It's alright Ma, I'm only bleeding

Let me introduce you to my redheaded friend --Jackson Brown

"death came, death came and gave you his kiss
death came, death came
and took you away from this

Oh, I miss you so
and I long to know
why death  gave you his kiss"


"Death Came" Lucinda Williams

@janewyman,

Isn't it "my redneck friend"?

Some shorties but goodies from John Hiatt’s big bag of similies;

“ ...we rolled that Camaro like a cowboy cigarette...”
“...river winding like an old man’s fiddle...”
”...she was smiling like the last survivor in a lifeboat...”
