If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die

My life is but a coin pulled from an empty pocket dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind

"It started out just like a dream and like a dream I knew that what we had would have to end."

Charley Pride

Some people live just to love but I just love to live

I turned 21 in prison, doing life without parole

-Mama tried, Merle Haggard

Getting funky on the mic like an old batch of collard greens...

Snoop

The Stones

And I went down to the demonstration to get my fair share of abuse.

Blues Traveler - Just Wait

I hope for you and cannot stop at hoping
Until that smile has once again returned to your face
There's no such thing as a failure who keeps trying
Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace

Forgot about this one from Cody Jinks.

No, I don't give a damn how much money you make
If your last shirt has pockets, take all you can take I'm
Well, I'm goin' out with nothin' like I came in

Gordon Lightfoot Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

The lake it is said never gives up her dead when the skies of November turn gloomy

Later in the same song

Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours.

Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse

-The River, Bruce Springsteen

Jamey Johnson High Cost of Livin

My life is just an old routine Every day the same damn thing Hell I cant even tell if Im alive

and to follow the OP's rules exactly and a quite random line that always made me laugh, i think Pete Seeger wrote it, but i really know it from Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion.

"My get up and go must've got up and went"

I chained him to an anvil and then I let him go - five years later I ain't told a soul

outshined;

the grass is always greener, where the dogs are ****ting.

Dan Fogelberg

A thundering, velvet hand. His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand

Tom T. Hall Old Dogs and Children and Watermelon Wine

"How old do you think I am?" he said. I said, well, I didn't know. He said, "I turned 65 about 11 months ago."

Charley Pride- Is Anybody Going to San Antone

Sleeping under a table at a roadside park a man could wake up dead.

Gangstas Paradise

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin left

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain

Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
Pop, pop! Hope no one sees me gettin' freaky

Weird Al lives!

Me and Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

Good choice, but I cant hear that song without hearing Jackie Jormp Jomp from "30 Rock"

"Synonym's just another word for the word you wanna use..."

Running from the law the press and the parents...is you're name Michael Diamond?...no, my name's Clarence.

I pulled into town in a police car...you're daddy said I took it just a little to far.

I woke up in a SoHo doorway, a policeman knew my name, he said you can sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away

And his hair was perfect

A few of mine. Apologies if past one line.

REK I'll Go on Downtown:
But now we're all married and some moved away
And we get together there's nothing to say

REK Think It Over One Time
It's only you for me, just like that whooping crane,
Who has one wife for all his life and if she dies, he'll do the same

REK Lonely Feeling
It's your best friend from high school
Who sees you and wishes you well
You try to breakthrough
But you run out of stories to tell
So you bid him goodbye and you step into space
There are so many questions that you cannot face

REK Lonely Feeling
It's a statue of Jesus your grandmother had when she died
All cracked and all yellow
And you know you should throw it aside
But you're growing religious, the older you get
You haven't been saved
But it could happen yet

Django Walker Texas on My Mind
Wishing I was back there doesn't help me much at all
When I want to hold her it doesn't help me much to call

Jimmy Buffett Cowboy in the Jungle
Discussing who caught what and who sat on his butt

Well I'm the king of Boggle, there is none higher. I get eleven points off the word quagmire

The Beatles

I once had a girl Or should I say she once had me

Three Dog Night

Jeremiah was a bullfrog Was a good friend of mine I never understood a single word he said But I helped him a-drink his wine

Thank you both for sticking to what the OP requested.

Some from my favorite songwriter, Elliott Smith

"Drink up, baby. Stay up all night. The things you could do. You won't, but you might."

"I'm never gonna know you now, but I'm gonna love you anyhow."

"Veins full of disappearing ink, vomiting in the kitchen sink."

"Everyone is gone home to Oblivion."

"I stepped to you with a fresh pack of gum."

-Beck

"All the glory when He took our place,
But He took my shoulders and He shook my face,
And He takes and He takes and He takes."

-Sufjan Stevens
