Best Opening Lyrics

Tore up the restraining order
I don't care, I'm comin' over
What your daddy said isn't goin' over too well
Don't you know not to kiss and tell?
 
It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty, Delta day.
I was out choppin cotton and my brother was balin’ hay
 
I once heard that it took Dan Seals weeks to get the opening lines right. I think he nailed it.

“Saw your picture on a poster, in a cafe out in Phoenix. Guess you’re still the sweetheart of the rodeo.”
 
Señores y señoras
Nosotros tenemos más influencia con sus hijos que tú tiene, pero los queremos
Creado y regado de Los Angeles, Juana's Addicción

Not really lyrics from the song but OH what a sexy voice!
 
One hundred miles to drive…a word that whispers in my mind…
I've found the truth still rhymes sometimes…
A soul searches for signs…the highway smiles with high headlights…
A savior smile in my head

 
Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
 
Now they lay his body down
Sad old men who run this town
I still recall the way
He led the charge and saved the day
Blue blood and rain
I can hear the bugle playin'
 
I can see the iron horses' tracks
Pressed in the mud from the weight of all that steam and steel
But the wind don't blow where you want it to go
No, the wind just goes where it will and you follow
I can feel the breath of winter
Driving this snow across these newly-whited plains
Takes my breath from me and it leaves me falling
Then it picks me up again in its own strength
 
Well the moon moved past Nebraska
And spilled laughter on them cold Dakota Hills
And angels danced on Jacob's stairs
Yeah, they danced on Jacob's stairs
There is this silence in the Badlands
And over Kansas the whole universe was stilled
By the whisper of a prayer
The whisper of a prayer
 
"Jacob he loved Rachel and Rachel she loved him
And Leah was just there for dramatic effect
Well it's right there in the Bible so it must not be a sin
But it sure does seem like an awful dirty trick
And her sky is just a petal pressed in a book of a memory
Of the time he thought he loved her and they kissed
And her friends say "Ah he's a devil"
But she says "No he is a dream"
This is the world as best as I can remember it
 
I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes
When you put me on the Wolverine up to Annandale
It was still September and your Daddy was quite surprised
To find you with the working girls in the County Jail
 
One last one for April (Europe):

Well I''m runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four the want to own me, two that want to stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
