Best Opening Lyrics

[JV842]

Well it's three eggs up on whiskey toast
Home fries on the side
You wash it down with that roadhouse coffee
It burns up your inside
It's just a Canyon Colorado diner
A little waitress I did love
Well we sat in the back 'neath the old stuffed bear
And a worn out Navajo rug

 

[JV842]

Winnebagos and airstreams, all headed north in a line
friends and relations, on a coastal vacation
well I sure hope they've had a good time

 

[44hunter45]

Lather was thirty years old today
They took away all of his toys
His mother sent newspaper clippings to him
About his old friends who'd stopped being boys

 

[44hunter45]

Roll my tape
Ooh, ooh, ooh
30 days
Anyone doin' that one?
Which one?
30-
I'm doin' that one

 

[Bow Bullet]

And the meek shall inherit the earth

 

[Southern Elk]

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me.

 

[Ben Lamb]

Goin' home late last night
Suddenly, I got a fright

 

[noharleyyet]

Dylan's haunting little ditty, my preference is Van Morrison's rendition...

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out, the saints are coming through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

 

[noharleyyet]

...not the opening, but the crux

The yellow-haired lady came down to the tavern
An' looked up the stranger there
He bought her a drink, an' he gave her some money
He just didn't seem to care
She followed him out as he saddled his stallion
An' laughed as she grabbed at the bay
He shot her so quick, they had no time to warn her
She never heard anyone say

Don't cross him, don't boss him
He's wild in his sorrow
He's ridin' an' hidin his pain
Don't fight him, don't spite him
Just wait till tomorrow
Maybe he'll ride on again

 

[Ben Lamb]

Sweat Baby, Sweat
