Same album different songs.

"Both feet on the floor, two hands on the wheel,
May the wind take your troubles away."

"I will meet you anywhere the western sun meets the air."

"Why would anyone, Even try to hold sway
Over somebody else In such a small way"

-The Black Crowes, So Many Times

"Well I been across this country from Denver to the ocean
And I never met girls who could sing so sweet Like the angels that live in Houston"

-Little Feat, Roll Um Easy

"There's no pain, there's no more sorrow
They're all gone, gone in the years, babe"

-The Pogues, Broad Majestic Shannon

Climbing to the top of the company ladder, hope it doesn't take too long.
Can't you see there'll come a day when it won't matter, come a day when you'll be gone.

Boston, Peace of Mind.

"Just because i lost it doesn't mean I want it back"

PORTUGAL THE MAN

non serious:
I like dirt I like dirt
I like dirt I like dirt
-rhcp

Love a good song steeped in imagery.

"I've seen the world with a 5-piece band looking at the back side of me." -Waylon

"It's a boy's last dream and a man's first loss." - Isbell "Speed Trap Town" referring to HS football (needs his own thread)

"You want to grow up and paint houses like me with a trailer in my yard till your 23" - Isbell "Outfit"

"Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots and ruined your black tie affair." -Garth

Could go on forever.

Forward! he cried, from the rear
And the front rank died.
The general sat, and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side

This Old Porch-
"This old porch is just a long time waitin' and forgettin',
Remembering the comin' back, not cryin' about the leavin' "

Born Free- 2 separate lines in this one string together well for me with where I'm at in life right now

"Chasing dreams and racing Father Time...
...Grateful for my time with no regrets"

Fret for your figure
And fret for your latte
And fret for your lawsuit
And fret for your hairpiece
And fret for your Prozac
And fret for your pilot
And fret for your contract
And fret for your car.

It's a bulls*** three-ring circus sideshow of freaks.

Here in this hopeless f****** hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any f****** time. Any f****** day.
Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona Bay.

Bible on the Dash - Corb Lund

Its better than insurance, registration or lyin
It's better than these fake ID's I have to keep buyin'
It's even better than an envelope stuffed with cash
They always said it'd save me, that old bible on the dash

**** YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!
**** YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!
**** YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!
**** YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!
**** YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!
**** YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!
**** YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!
**** YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!

So hard to choose:

"She was ugly from the front" - Lyle Lovett

"I've been searching for the daughter of the devil himself
I've been searching for an angel in white
I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both
And I can feel it when she's nowhere in sight."
-Eagles, One of these Nights

This old porch is a steamin' greasy plate of enchiladas
With lots of cheese and onions and a guacamole salad

Always one of my favorites: Time, Pink Floyd (Gilmour)

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter; never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say.

Now the mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea


Written by a good Ag!

Any love for Steel Panther???

Cuz my heart belongs to you
My love is pure and true
My heart belongs to you
But my c*ck is community property

Nine Inch Nails - The Becoming

It won't give up it wants me dead
Goddam this noise inside my head

Some of my favorites from Todd Snider

Inbetween Jobs

"If I had a nickel, for every dime you had.
I'd have about half your money, talk about not half bad...
More like ten times as good"

I Cant Complain

"I'm gonna make my last stand, this time I can't be bought!
Then again on the other hand...how much have you got?"

Money, compliments, publicity

"I went to see this therapist she said "just do the best that you can do"....
....I was hoping for something more specific"

and

"If I ever do get my money together I'm gonna take care of all my friends.
Buy an island, run a phone line, call em tell em all to get f*cked Oh that oughta take care of them"

Throw in:

Green Castle Blues
"You know the number one symptom for heart disease, the number one symptom for heart disease is sudden death."

Everybody Wang Chung Tonight

Men go crazy in congregations
They only get better one by one.

Sting, All This Time

I turned left turns into right
I turned sunshine into night
I got my ass kicked every fight
No, I couldn't get it right

Old 97s - Nashville

Hullabaloo Caneck Caneck

There's a storm in my rear-view and a city on my nerves
But there's a piece of mind in the straight-away and comfort in the curves

I-35 - Max Stalling

The sunshine bores the daylights out of me...

Rolling Stones - Rocks Off

As someone who loves nature and hiking, the line in Rocky Mountain high "you can talk to God and listen to the casual reply" was always among my faves.

Also, pretty much the whole of hte love theme from st Elmo's Fire. Which is ironic because it was released as an instrumental, but the lyrics are maybe the best Foster wrote.

No Rush yet?

Well-weathered leather, hot metal and oil,
The scented country air,
Sunlight on chrome, the blur of the landscape,
Every nerve aware

But the Oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the Maples
Can't be happy in their shade?

All of us get lost in the darkness
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutter
Dreamers turn to look at the cars

Underrated song

Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late
I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last

Let him roar, Lord let him roll
Bet he's gone to Dallas Rest his soul
Lord, let him roll, Lord let him roar
He always said that heaven
Was just a Dallas *****.

Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way or am I self made fool?
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
I need your love but I break your heart
And I know the words that'll bring you back but
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack
I had to work to become the jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy being me

Kansas:

Allow me to forget the life I've made my own
I've held this nation in my hand
And yet it's not my home
Allow me just one answer just one reason why
Why this refugee of the family of man must die
Tell me why

If you expect the freedom
That you say is yours
Prove that you deserve it
Help us to preserve it
Or being free will just be
Words and nothing more

I do know one thing. Where you are is where I belong. I do know where you go is where I want to be.

You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave
- Eagles Hotel California

My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
- Jimmy Buffett A Pirate Looks At 40

She blew my nose and then she blew my mind
- Rolling Stones Honky Tonk Women

I woke up in between a memory and a dream
- Tom Petty You Don't Know How It Feels

John Mayer:

'Cause when you're done with this world,
You know the next is up to you.
And for once in his life it was quiet,
As he learned how to turn in the tide,
And the sky was a flare,
When he came up for air,
In his homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride.
