"Don't confront me with my failures. I had not forgotten them."

"Rollin' down Imperial Highway With a big nasty redhead at my side" - Randy Newman. Always just loved that phrasing.

Probably too many Isbell ones to list but two of the best opening lines ever to me. I guess might be more than one line but could also be constructed as one line.

"There's a man who walks beside me
It is who I used to be
And I wonder if she sees him
And confuses him with me"

"She said, "Andy, you're better than your past"
Winked at me and drained her glass
Cross-legged on a barstool, like nobody sits anymore"

"I love you like a fat kid loves cake."

can't believe i haven't seen this one yet

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

She got a big booty so I call her Big Booty

Don't it make you sad to know that life is more than who we are?

"The sun is still a rumor, and the night is still a threat."

"If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do"

What Is he gonna do?

I hate everyone equally

"I never intended to even know your name"

"If you've never been to Paris France Big Spring Texas will suit you fine"

Not one line but DMX did "What They Really Want" with only women names and it's better than most of the rap we have today!

Holdin' on to 16 as long as you can; change is coming 'round real soon, make us women and men.

The older I get, the more I think about this one. Especially now that my son is 18.

And this is an obscure song by a duo prob few here recognize, but these lyrics were a huge punch in the face/wake up call at one point in my life.

So wake me up the dream I had is over
We were so young and now we're getting older
And I can't keep on giving you what might be meant for someone new
Wake me up the dream I had is over

You're such an inspiration for the ways that I'll never ever choose to be

All we are is just dust in the wind
