Best Opening Lyrics

[noharleyyet]

No place to stop...

He said, "I'll love you till I die"
She told him, "You'll forget in time"
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall
Went half-crazy, now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single 'I love you'

I went to see him just today
Oh, but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I'd seen him smile in years

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

You know, she came to see him one last time
Oh, and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he's over her for good

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

 

[JV842]

Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by himself in the swamp
He hunted alligator for a living
He'd just knock them in the head with a stump
The Louisiana law gonna get you, Amos
It ain't legal hunting alligator down in the swamp, boy

 

[Tradewind]

I see you smilin' in the summer sun
I see your long hair flying when you run

 

[shannerdrake]

Low down leavin’ sun

Done did everything that needs done

Woe is me, why can’t I see

I’d best be leavin’ well enough alone

 

[elkduds]

Because he called the forest brother
Because he called the earth his mother
They drove him out into the rain
Some people even said the boy from the country was insane

 

[JV842]

I met you on somebody's island
You thought you had known me before
I brought you a crate of papaya
They waited all night by your door
You probably wouldn't remember
I probably couldn't forget
Jungle love in the surf in the pouring rain
Everything's better when wet

 

[nwihunter]

Buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise
Playing in the street, gonna be a big man someday
You got mud on your face, you big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place, singin'

 

[BrentD]

So many to choose from

''Sam Stone was alone...''

“There must be some way out of here,” said the joker to the thief''

 

[the nikster]

As I rode in to Tombstone on my horse, his name was Mac
I saw what I’ll relate to you going on behind my back…

 

[the nikster]

I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To listen for a while

 

[nwihunter]

I'm a fleabit peanut monkey
And all my friends are junkies
That's not really true

 

[Dougfirtree]

I always thought it was bold for John Prine to start a song with "I am an old woman.." And then go on to write one of the most relatable songs, for women, in history.

 

[noharleyyet]

Every line a redneck masterpiece...

My Aunt Rita, now she's just about my age
She lives over in Missouri off of I-44
Next to that great big ol' billboard of that little bitty baby
Wantin' to know who's my Daddy
Selling that DNA testing
Just done six months down at that Red River Rehab
Had a little pain pill problem but she's okay now
You know she's okay now
It's just cocaine now

 

[the nikster]

He was on his way home from Candletop
Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop
At Web's and have him a drink 'fore he went home to her

 

[Outlaw99]

Well I've never been afraid of much and I never thought I'd need a crutch
To help me through the trials of this life
But there's one thing I can't do with out and Copenhagens what I'm talkin' about
And I love it nearly as much as I love my wife

 

[rookieforever33]

Late at night
All systems go you come to see the show
We do our best
You are the rest
You make it real you know

 

[rookieforever33]

Hello me its me again

 

[rookieforever33]

Finished with my woman
Cuz she couldn't help me with my mind

 

[rookieforever33]

My balls are always bouncing
From the left and to the right.

 

[Tradewind]

But Sanctuary never comes
without some kind of risk

Illusions without freedom
Never quite add up to bliss
