there's about a thousand Townes Van Zandt lines I could paste - his lyrics were like poetry -

"for a gambler likes his women fancy
fancy she would be
and the fire of her longing would keep way the cold
and her dress was a sight to see" - St. John the Gambler

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

"Being born is going blind
and buying down a thousand times
to echoes strung
on pure temptation
Sorrow and solitude
these are the precious things
and the only words
that are worth rememberin'" - Nothin'

"My days, they are the highway kind
they only come to leave" - Highway Kind

"Spring only sighed
summer had to be satisfied
fall is a feelin' that I just can't lose." - Flyin' Shoes

"If I had a nickel I'd find a game
If I won a dollar I'd make it rain
If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry
And lay me down dissatisfied" - Rex's Blues
