And to tell you the truth ... it wasn't my chair after all. George Straight. First time I heard that song, it blew my young mind!

"And when she got home, she was nobody's wife." Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen "I heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord" - I know Hallelujah has been overdone, but when you actually listen to the lyrics, they are just amazing. (Also Leonard Cohen) "There’s a fine, fine line between love and a waste of your time " - from Avenue Q"I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand, walking through the streets of Soho in the rain" Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon Almost every song from this musical makes me smile or laugh.

I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger. Ooh La La by Rod Stewart
And not poignant or deep but one of my favorites. 😂

"He stopped loving her today." George Jones I might argue the best single line is… “He said, "I'll love you till I die"” Especially as he sang it later in years. Either way, best song in the history of songs. My Grandma and I both had the biggest crush on George. Listening to it now brings a tear to my eye.

I always liked the line “she walked into Smokey’s one hip at a time”. The imagery is spot on.

Like others I have a few favourite lines. These are the first that sprang to mind.
From Get Up by Mother Mother: "For such a little thing, you sure are in your own way I'd love to give you wings, but babe you've got to grow them"
From Come to Me by the Goo Goo Dolls: "You and me, we've both got sins I don't care about where you've been Don't be sad and don't explain This is where we start again"
From Can't Stop by Red Hot Chili Peppers: "Can't stop the spirits when they need you This life is more than just a read-through"

Longer than one line, but I’ve always loved this:
17 has turned 35 I’m surprised that we’re still livin’ If we’ve done any wrong I hope that we’re forgiven
Got a few kids of my own And some days I still don’t know what to do I hope that they’re not laughin’ too loud When they hear me talkin’ like this to you John Mellencamp Cherry Bomb
