Your favorite lyric(s)...

Why do you have kids? 
Why did you make children? 
Falling asleep standing up on the corner 
With cigarette ash falling in the stroller 

Why do you have kids? 
Why did you make children? 
You gave all baby daddys money for food 
To the dead eyed street pharmaceutical dude 

Accidents having accidents 
Now mother like daughter 
Father like son 
R.I.P. next generation 
Goodnight, honey 
You’ve got nothing to look up or forward to 

Why do you have kids? 
Why did you make children? 
You beat your son at the grocery store 
Because he cried a little when his eyes were sore 

Why? 

Baby runs around shoeless outside 
While mama’s dressed to the junkyard nines 
Feed them garbage so they stop crying 
They’ll look just like you in no time 

I lie to their faces, they're so naive.

They have this need for make-believe.

That somebody loves them, would never do them wrong.

That's what they'll buy in them old love songs.

Satan put it on my tab. Someday soon it'll be my time.

If I don't pay it, though nevermind.

I guess that I was just born to be bad.

Satan put it on my tab.

Don't believe that the system is failing, don't believe that the planet is dead.

They'll keep all the food for their fat fucking bellies, so the starving will kill to be fed.

And they'll try to turn me against you, so divided we'll turn to them.

Because anything strong cannot be conquered from without before first being conquered from within.

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the Saints.

The Sinners are much more fun.

Only the good die young.

Can the thread title be fixed or is it actually supposed to read "You"?

Can't believe it took that long for someone to notice.

Last of my Kind by Jason Isbell

Daddy said the river would always lead me home
But the river can't take me back in time
And daddy's dead and gone

Cumberland Gap by Jason Isbell

As soon as the sun goes down
I find my way to the Mustang Lounge
And if you don't sit facing the window
You could be in any town

Thank God for the man who put the white lines on the highway.

Oh, I noticed right away. It just became too much for me not to say anything. :-)

Not a particularly great lyric, but from a great song. But I have an interesting (to me, at least) story about it.

Live Oak by Jason Isbell

I was rougher than a timber

Shippin' out of Fond du Lac

I was listening to this album on my roadtrip to Minnesota last summer as I was driving through Wisconsin. I had google maps feeding me directions and there was an exit for Fond du Lac coming up. The song and gps voice lined up perfectly on "Fond du Lac." I saw the name on the sign and, based on where the song was, knew it was a possibility. That was a nice little energy boost for the drive.

You said I wouldn't get too far with a tank of gas and an empty heart , but I got everything I'll ever need

So take that look out of here it doesn't fit you, because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded

Heard that live many a time

Substitution, mass confusion
Clouds inside your head
Were fogging all my energies
Until you visited
With your eyes of porcelain and of blue
Could shock me into sense
You think you're so illustrious
You call yourself intense

The Cars ............. 'Bye, Bye Love'
 

I heard you die twice, once when they bury you in the grave
And the second time is the last time that somebody mentions your name

Photographs show the laughs

Recorded in between the bad times

Happy sailors, dancing on a sinking ship.

Trailer of his new album.

French Vanilla, Rocky Road, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Cookie Dough

And I've been thinking that I should go

'Cause if I don't leave now

Then I'm never gonna leave Ohio, Lord

And that's a chance that I just can't take

Now that I'm getting older

I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie, and that I was the star of the movie.

This really blew my mind
