What's your favorite lyric from a song?


Just curious what stays with people...

LZ III is probably my favorite album by them and that track especially...second only to Tangerine.  
Lyrics-wise though, somebody got to 'splain That's the Way to me.  Guess the same could be said about Tangerine.

The album isn't all that consistent but ranks up there for me on the strength of several standout tracks including That's the Way, Tangerine, Gallows Pole and Since I've Been Loving You.   
 
@ghosthouse ,

I posted this after listening to LP 1 & 2 from "How The West Was Won" box set.

If it speaks to you, it's great. If it doesn't, you'll probably not notice those lyrics.

Wow! I just played the first 2 sides today, (from..."How The West Was Won". I'm drawn in more than ever to this music!

and you know I wish you well
