    "Look at them yo-yos
    That's the way you do it
    You play your guitar on the MTV
    That ain't workin'
    That's the way you do it
    Money for nothing
    Get your chicks for free"

    this one always intrigued me:

    strummin my pain with his fingers
    singin my life with his words
    killin me softly with his song
    killin me softly with his song telling my whole life

    Waylon Jennings with Willie Nelson - Luckenbac

    There only two things in life that make it worth livin'
    That's guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women
    I don't need my name in the marquis lights
    I got my song and I got you with me tonight
    Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

    David Allen Coe - You Never Even Call Me By My Name

    WELL, IT WAS ALL
    THAT I COULD DO TO KEEP FROM CRYING?
    SOMETIMES IT SEEMED SO USELESS TO REMAIN

    YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME BY MY NAME

    GUNS 'N' ROSES-Use to love her


    I used to love her
    But I had to kill her
    I used to love her, Mm, yeah
    But I had to kill her
    I had to put her six feet under
    And I can still hear her complain

    I like your pants around your feet
    I like the dirt that's on your knees
    And I like the way you still say please
    While you're looking up at me
    You're like my favourite damn disease

    Nickelback: Figured You Out


    When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
    a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
    And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
    joyfully, playfully watching me.
