Let's keep it going:

I woke up thinking about Turkish drummers
It didn't take long, I don't know much about Turkish drummers

Still love this one,

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

There are so many that I love. Here are a few:

They call me the breeze
I keep blowing down the road
- They Call Me The Breeze, J.J. Cale

Well, it's three o'clock in the morning y'all
And I'm biding my time
I want you to give me two more mister waiter
'Cause I've got a whole lot on my mind
- Going Back to Louisiana, Delbert McClinton

I hear mariachi static on the radio
And the tubes they glow in the dark
- Carmelita, Warren Zevon

I got the key to the highway
Billed out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
'Cause walking is much too slow
- Key to the Highway, Big Bill Broonzy

Face-down in his vomit, awakened by a truck
Wipes away the rancid mask, spits and struggles up
He opens-wide the dumpster lid to face another day
Crawls over to a puddle to wash his yesterdays away

"Then there was the time I saw the great Hank Williams singing on the stage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and he was all dressed up in drag."
