Default Re: Favorite line or two from a song (NOT entire verse!)

my bud Bill Mallonee wrote these lines in the song Resplendent - (Emmylou Harris sang backup on it)

Honey we're all resplendent, yah honey we are all thrift store
Like a wino with a twenty dollar bill, forever and eternally yours"


There's a line from a Townes Van Zandt tune called My Proud Mountains that almost chokes me up when I sing it - (practicing for a TVZ tribute show in Mpls in March) - I think it summarizes up my life pretty well.

Well, I sometimes went hungry, with my pockets all bare
Lord, I sometimes had good luck, with money to spare"
