WAY too many to list, so here's a couple nice lines from whatt I'm listening to at the moment

Now I used to go crazy for days at a time
Now I'm takin' my time with my days
Haven't found the answers like some that I know
I'm just stuck in a fairly nice maze

What daddymention said!

But here's a favorite I was just listening to last night:

"I just want to live happily ever after, every now and then."

I also like the song lines from "Stranded on a Sandbar". Here are a couple others that I like:

"Growing Older, But Not Up"
I'd rather die while I'm living,
than live while I'm dead

"Barefoot Children in the Rain"
wrinkles only go where the smiles have been

Few of my favorites...

"I'm Back To Living Floridays, Blue Skies and Ultraviolet Rays"

"Good Times and Riches and Son of a Bitches, I've Seen More Than I Can Recall"

"I Grabbed That Sucker By the Throat, Until He Called on Me!"

"We'll Barrel Roll Into the Sun, Just For Starters"

"I Come Down To Talk To Me, When The Coast Is Clear"

"With A Tin Cup For A Chalice, Fill It Up With Good Red Wine, And I'll be Chewing on a Honeysuckle Vine"

"...I believe in Song Lines obvious and not, ridden them like camels to the most peculiar spots.."

Also, from IICJGIOP, "...with my sketch pad and flares, tapes and..battery spares, its just no comprehendo to what everyone says.."

I have a ton, but here's a new one I like:

"He sips. He quips. Dreams a lot about sailing ships."

My personal theme: "growing older but not up!"

My "kooky" phavorite: "Oh No! He's having a cocoa!"

So many lines. So little time.

Right now, my personal favorite is:

Sometimes more than others
You see who and what and where you are.

My long-time favorite is:

I made enough money to buy Miami
But I p***ed it away so fast.

"Got a junked-out car, but you should see me drive."

That one really hits home since I get around in a '68 VW bug.....

It's a jungle out there kiddies,

Banana Wind · Post by **Banana Wind** » March 11, 2003 4:51 pm

Too many to list, but here are some favorites of mine at the moment....

"Looking to the left, looking to the right
Looking to the stars to shed some light
Hoping for a breath, hoping for break
Hopin' for the give without the take."

"No plane on Sunday
Maybe be one come Monday
Just a hopeless situation
Make the best of it's all you can do."

"I recommend you try a little mental floss."

"But now I think about the good times
Down in the Caribbean sunshine
In my younger days I was so bad
Laughin' about all the fun we had."

Some of the aforementioned lines also are my favorites, but I have a few more to add:

"If the phone doesn't ring, it's me."

"She's 'pre-you.' "

"It was somewhere past dark-thirty...."

"Be good and you will be lonesome; be lonesome, and you will be free."

"On the corner of 'Walk' and 'Don't Walk' somewhere on U.S. 1."

"She was just a gypsy; he was but a stray; they almost made a miracle but it slowly slipped away."

Learn to play all of our hunches
Makin' the best of whatever comes your way"
