What are some of your favorite lines from your favorite songs?
Just a few lines that mean something to you, not whole songs because this thread could get really lengthy. Needless to say---no lyrics that break board rules, please.
I have so many, I probably can't think of em' all, but I will as we get going:

Artist: Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band Lyrics
Song: Against the Wind

Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin'
Against the wind

The years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worryied about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searching
Searching for shelter again and again

ARTIST: The Marshall Tucker Band
TITLE: Heard It in a Love Song

I never had a damn thing, but what I had I had to leave it behind
You're the hardest thing I ever tried to get off of my mind
Always something greener on the other side of that hill
I was born a wrangler and a rounder and I guess I always will

[IHS Fan]

memories of a man in his old age
are the deeds of a man in his prime

group--pink floyd
song--free four

Tool - 10,000 Days (Wings Pt. 2)
What are they going to do when the lights go down?
Without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they going to do when the rivers overrun?
Other than tremble incessantly.

High is the way, but our eyes are upon the ground
You were the light and the way that they'll only read about.
I only pray Heaven knows when to lift you out.
Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough.
You're going home.

Blue Man Group - Persona
Every morning I put it on, I walk outside and I am gone
And I don't seem to mind anymore, I can't think what it was like before
I wore it all the time.

In the evening I take it off, but there's another one underneath
And I can't seem to find the bottom of the stack
I might just lose my mind and never get it back
But at least I'll get inside

There's a feeling that I get sometimes, It's so small that it's easy to hide
It's like a howling voice from the distant past
It seems I've got no choice, when I come to this
It's building up inside

Mad Season - River of Deceit
My pain is self-chosen
At least, so the prophet says
I could either burn
Or cut off my pride, and buy some time
A head full of lies is the weight, tied to my waist
The River of Deceit pulls down, ohh
The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh down
My pain is self-chosen
At least I believe it to be
I could either drown
Or pull off my skin and swim to shore
Now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see
The River of Deceit pulls down, yeah
The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh down
The pain is self-chosen, yeah
Our pain is self-chosen
Down, oh down

Artist: Elton John Lyrics
Song: THE ONE

For each man in his time is Cain
Until he walks along the beach
And sees his future in the water
A long lost heart within his reach

[Adidas410s]

This is the one song in life that I can listen to and not feel better about life when it's over.

Artist: Pat Green
Song: Carry On

Everybody's gotta get away sometime
Forget about yourself for a while
If you live your whole live up there on that shelf
You've got no one to blame but your own damn self
Ok
Alright
I just might get _____ tonight (the blank is for whatever mood you might be in...it's a constantly changing lyric when he sings the song)
I'm ok
I'm alright
Carry On

Anybody that has ever travelled to see the person that they love can relate to these words. The distance doesn't matter...you just want to get there.

Artist: Dierks Bentley
Song: Soon As You Can

‘Cause when a man wants to be with a woman
There ain’t no way of gettin’ there too fast

This song always reminded me of my dad...even though that's not the overall direction of the song.

Artist: Nichole Nordeman
Song: I Am

Pencil marks on a wall
I wasn't always this tall,
You scattered some monsters from beneath my bed,
You watched my team win,
You watched my team lose,
You watched when my bicycle went down again,

And When I was weak unable to speak,
still I could call You by name,
and I said “Elbow healer, Superhero,
come if You can,” and You said “I am”

Any single guy (or girl for that matter) can relate to this song because at one point...we've all felt like this.

Artist: Randy Rogers Band
Song: Somebody Take Me Home

I don't wanna go out tonight
But I can't be alone
I'm standin' underneath this broken street light
Can somebody take me home
Can somebody take me home

[burnet44]

I cannot tell you that i'm something I'm not

No matter how I try

I'll never be able

To give you something

A Something that I just haven't got

There's only one girl that I will ever love

And that was so many years ago

And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart

She never loved me back oH I know

I remember how she left me on a stormy night

She kissed me and got out of our bed

And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door

She packed her bags and turned right away


Meatloaf

[Adidas410s]

This one's for anybody who's ever had their heart broken...and then gone back for more!

Artist: Randy Rogers Band
Song: This Time Around

I'm gonna break these chains around my broken heart
You could've had it once but you tore it all apart
I'm gonna throw your lying eyes over my left shoulder
I'm not gonna let you wear your crown
This time around

[pirate4state]

Artist: Blue October
Song: She's my ride home

we drive
to leave the past and clear the mind
to watch the sunset, set its time
i swear you’re fine... i’m your ride home
now close your eyes
it’s getting dark and the highway's clear
no sign of light from front to rear
it’s just you my dear... on the ride home...
we're going home

i'll be reaching for the stars with you... honey
who cares if no one else believes

All of their lyrics are just beautiful.

Artist: The Doors
Song: The End

I'll never look into your eyes...again
Can you picture what will be, So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand

I like the entire song, but these 3 little lines....bliss

Artist: Pantera
Song: Walk

Run your mouth when I'm not around, it's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can't you hear the violins playing your song?
Those same friends tell me your every word

Artist: Tool
Song: H

I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,
And considerately killing me.





Nice topic Bull. There are so many other songs.....

Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here- Entire Song

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Neil Young- Needle and the Damage Done

I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
like a settin' sun.

Bob Dylan- Tangled Up in Blue
I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the caf,s at night
And revolution in the air
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside
And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keeping on like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue.

[Blastoderm55]

Dear Leader - Billions Served
Size, the biggest gets the prize.
You can see it in their eyes
Possessed and haunted by
The need to devour.
Arms, raised on factory farms.
Babies sound alarms,
as they feast on the flesh of tomorrow.

There are traces of our tears in the ocean.
There are traces of our cries in the air.
And they mix the mind control with some sugar.
A billion served got the hunger.

[Bullaholic]

ARTIST: Billy Vera
SONG: At this Moment

What do you think,
I would give at this moment,
If you stay I'd subtract twenty years from my life..
I'd fall down on my knees,
Kiss the ground that you walk on,
If I could just hold you again..

[ASUFrisbeeStud]

Simple Man
Lynyrd Skynyrd

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... dont live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and youll find love,
And dont forget son,
There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Wont you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich mans gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.


Boy, dont you worry... youll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

It doesn't get any better than this my friends.

[BuffyMars]

Who am I to need you when I'm down
Where are you when I need you around
Your life is not your own

And all I ask you
Is for another chance
Another way around you
To live by circumstance, once again

Who am I to need you now
To ask you why to tell you no
To deserve your love and sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me

And you may go, but I know you won't leave
Too many years built into memories
Your life is not your own

Who am I to need you now
To ask you why to tell you no
To deserve your love and sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me

Who am I to you?
Along the way
I lost my faith

And as you were, you'll be again
To mold like clay, to break like dirt
To tear me uo in your sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me
You were never meant to belong to me
You were never meant to belong to me

Who am I?

Crestfallen by The Smashing Pumpkins

I love that song.....

And I could keep this thread going for the rest of my life so I will leave it at the one.

[Blastoderm55]

A Perfect Circle - Magdalena

I bear witness to this place, this prayer, so long forgotten
So pure, so rare, to witness such an earthly goddess
That I'd sell my soul, my self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one chance, one kiss, one taste of you, my black Madonna
I'd sell my soul, my self-esteem a dollar at a time
For one taste, one taste, one taste of you, my Magdalena

[awizzy]

Led Zeppelin- Ten Years Gone

Did you ever really need somebody, And really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody, The best love you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good
'Cause it was just the first time, And you knew you would

The Beatles- Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.

{REFRAIN}
Lucy in the sky with diamonds(diamonds).
Lucy in the sky with diamonds(diamonds).
Lucy in the sky with diamonds(diamonds).
Ah... Ah...

{VERSE 2}
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.

{REFRAIN}

Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
