Title: Lyric of the Day
Post by: mtotch123 on February 01, 2011, 02:26:01 pm
Since we're doing top fav songs how about favorite lyric/line of the day/week.

Today mine is "When Jesus left Birmingham, all the people went completely nuts."

Cuz that's what everyone is around me today......NUTS!!!!!

"live in the moment",
Don't get too far ahead-don't live in the past.
I blink my eyes and the moment is over, I guess another day has passed.

(Just Another Day)

And it all comes true Yes it all comes true
Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you
And you think, What have I done? What can I do?
What you believe about yourself
It all comes true

Well I look in the mirror - what the hell happened to me?
Whatever I had has gone away
I'm not the young kid that I used to be
So I push the hair back out of my face
That's O.K., I knew this would happen
But I was hopin' not today

Wow you guys....those are awesome!  I was going to enter kind of a depressing lyric for today...but reading these has actually brought a smile to my face....so my choice for today is..

And everytime it gets so dark
There's nothing for me to see
Something comes along, just like you!

And there's winners and there's losers, but they ain't no big deal.  'Cause the simple man baby pays for the thrills, the bills, and the pills that kill.  Oh, but ain't that America ......

You got your eye on the cheerleader queen
You're walkin' her home from school
You know that she's only seventeen
She's gonna make you a fool
You know you can't touch this stuff
Without money or a brand new car
Let me give you some good advice young man
You better learn to play guitar!!!

1. Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness, will help a man Walk Tall....

2.  Just know the truth is coming, to bring peace, to this Troubled Land

3.  An honest man's pillow is his peace of mind
