Favorite LINE in a Country song, not necessarily the hook

Dave Van Allen · Post by **Dave Van Allen** » 6 Feb 2002 12:05 pm

I'm partial to "what a fool I was to think I could get by, with only these few million tears I've cried" (Haggard-Today I started Lovin' You Again)

and "If you play A-11 there'll be tears" (Cochran-A-11)

as well as "How can you just stand there when I hurt like this?" Harlan Howard-You're so Cold I'm Turning Blue

guess I'm feeling kinda lachrymose today

I like to boogie; I don't like to think
I smoke marijuana; I still like to drink
Lying on the men's room floor, staring up at the sink
Come on baby, get down and love me

Now I'm so hurt, and you're so unconcerned
(and our love's just another bridge to burn).

Don't worry, it won't be a loud party,
Dreams don't make noise when they die...

"Stop rolling downhill like a snowball headed for Hell. Stand up for the Flag, and let's all ring the Liberty Bell. Let's make a Ford and a Chevy that'll still last 10 years like they should, because the best of the Free Life is still yet to come, and the good times ain't over for good."

Warm red wine, you know that place
where you take me sometimes
where my cares have wings
and fly right off my shoulders

Wine Take Me Away

"A mangled mass of many mornfull moments". Hank Thompsons "Take a Look At This Lonely Heart of Mine".

There is also a line in the song that goes: "You leered at love then laughed and left it lying".

More than a line - - the bridge from "Pray for Me" by Rob Crosby and Allen Shamblin -- Ty Herndon has it on his "Steam" CD.

You know each of us is broken
somewhere deep inside
And we're really not that different
if you strip away the pride
We've all got our struggles
the chains that we can't break
And you never know the difference
one simple prayer might make

_____

I'll have to get back to you on the best LINE of a song.

"Help me Merle I'm breaking out in a Nashville Rash
It's looking like I'm fallin thru the cracks
I'm too country now for country just like Johnny Cash
Help me Merle I'm breaking out in a Nashville Rash" Dale Watson's Nashville Rash.
And.
"For the steel guitars no longer cry and fiddles barely play
With drums and rock and roll guitars mixed right up in your face
Why the HAG he wouldn't have a chance on todays radio
Since they committed MURDER down on Music Row
Why they even tell the Possum to pack up and go back home
There's been an awful MURDER down on music Row" George Strait and Alan Jackson
