What's your favorite lyric from a song?

Feels like it's time for a couple of deep lines from Dylan. The first from Subterranean Homesick Blues,

"Don't follow leaders, watch the parkin' meters"


and a tricky one from It's Alright, Ma 


"Proves to warn that he not busy being born
Is busy dying"



The following lyric from Blonde on Blonde eventually lead me into reading the Steinbeck novel. 

"With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row,
And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go,"


Unfortunately, great book that it is, my memory of it is not 'sheet metal'. Far from it. Maybe time to revisit it this summer.

“Happened back in the bayou many years ago
Satan came to take him and he did it real slow
Well, they rushed him back to see the doctor
The doctor just shook his head
Twenty years of rotgut whiskey
Done killed this poor man dead
He drank ole poison whiskey
'Til it killed him dead”

“Poison Whisky” Lynyrd Skynyrd 

Hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason...

She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes.
And I knew without asking she was into the blues.

I thought on 1 more that I have loved for decades!
devil in the deep blue sea behind me
vanish in the air, you’ll never find me
i will turn your face to alabaster
when find your servant in your master
