"The whole world is a bottle,
And life is but a dram.
When the bottle is empty,
Lord it sure ain't worth a."

"Moonshiner," Traditional (I prefer the Bob Dylan and Uncle Tupelo versions)


"You want to know why
I did what I did?
Well sir I guess there's just a meanness
In this world."

Bruce Springsteen, "Nebraska"

Many of you have some cool deep thinking verses, but this was the first one that popped into my head.

"You can check out any time you like,
but you can never leave ! "

Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And now the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw

- Rush, The Trees


Oh, I never felt so free
When it's just my dog and me

-John Hiatt, My Dog And Me

After all your soul will still surrender
After all don't doubt your part
Be ready to be loved

Yes-To Be Over. (For all the hippy, trippy folks)

Hey, little girl
Better wear something pretty
Something you'd wear to go to the city
And dim all the lights
Pour the wine, start the music
Time to get ready for love

Wives and Lovers, Hal David and Burt Bacharach.

Dylan - Lonesome Death of Hattie Carrol

Oh, but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears,
Bury the rag deep in your face
now is the time for your tears.

Woody Guthrie - Deportee

Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?
Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit?
To die like the dry leaves and rot on my topsoil
And be known by no name except "deportee."

Toyland (MacDonough/Herbert)
"Mystic, merry Toyland. Once you pass its borders, you can ne'er return again."

Mr Bojangles (Jerry Jeff Walker)
"He said, 'I dance now at every chance in honky tonks for drinks and tips.
But most the time I spend behind these county bars - I drinks a bit.'
He shook his head and as he shook his head
I heard someone ask him, 'please, please'
Mr. Bojangles. Mr. Bojangles. Mr. Bojangles, Dance"

How do you pick just one?

"In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the remainders
Of every glove that laid him down
And cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
“I am leaving, I am leaving”
But the fighter still remains
Still remains."

When you're out with your women, your wife will be at home,
Doing your dirt, cooking your food, buddy what you trying to do?

Put him in the comfort, of his satin travel bed
Keep him from, all the sunshine and the cold
He will still be making music, long after I am gone
It's just me, and Martin growing old.


Me and Martin - Valdy

When performing I'm always looking forward to phrases like:

and now the end is near
or
the final curtain

Basically anything that suggests that relaxation time is imminent,

All those years the people said
He's actin' like a kid
He didn't know he could not fly
And so he did.

Pearl Jam - Black

"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky,
But why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?"

This line accompanies an intense crescendo. This came on the radio when I was just going through a rough breakup years ago, and before I knew it I was a weeping mess, beating on my steering wheel. How embarrassing.
