Not best chorus.
Not best verse.
Not best bridge.
Just one line.
Saw this on Facebook and wondered what y'all could come up with.

For me, it's this one from "If Heaven" by Andy Griggs:
"If heaven was a town it would be my town on a summer day in 1985, when everything I wanted was out there waiting, and everyone I loved was still alive."
That line never fails to hit me where it hurts.

One of my favorite lines is from a song by the band Alabama called "Gimme One More Shot." The lyric is: "We're only here for a while so why not smile, living ain't all that bad." It's sorta become my life motto.

We were made out of asbestos, Dairy Queen for breakfast, eighteen, eighteen. -Aaron Pritchett Because weren't we indestructible at 18 or 19?! I know there were times I would stay out literally all night partying and then come home long enough to shower before I went to my job in the morning and then go back out to the bar at the lake after work to do it all again  |

Another one of those threads where there are just too many to pick one. 😄. Also it is hard to determine what is a single line…hahaha. Here are some old favorites.
Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here
- Last Resort by the Eagles
They're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war
Now, Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reason's for
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more
- Your Flag decal by John Prine
You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
-Take it to the Limit by the Eagles
That's the way that the world goes 'round
You're up one day, the next you're down
It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round
-That’s the way the world goes Round by John Prine

“And each time we make a memory I’m reminded I can picture me with no one else but you.”
“Pictures” by the Statler Brothers.
Seems appropriate for a scrapbooking message board LOL. It makes a great quote on an anniversary page as well.

Good morning, son

Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed

That line never fails to hit me where it hurts. I was not familiar with this song so I googled to hear it. It led me to him singing the song on YouTube. Then I saw he dedicated the song to his brother who died. Up welled the tears. |
