Now Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."

Kenny Rogers
 
See the mistakes that Ive made
No they don't seem to bother me.
And I sure as hell don't feel like I've missed any kind of train.
If I could only show you how I feel
Then you wouldn't bother me.
Maybe then you'll see
Maybe then you'll see why we don't mind being blind
As I was as a little child.
And I'm feeling better when im high.
With a red light shining on,
Shining on a little unity.



Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon)
 
He was so thin I swear you could have used him for a whip he had to drink a beer to keep his britches on his hips I knew I had to ask him about the mysteries of life he spit between his boots and he replied

"it's faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, and more money"

Faster Horses---Tom T Hall
 
"I've been robbed, I've been fooled
I intent now to make my own rules
Daggers edge cut the life, I've been down that road... too many times
What's to fear, fear no more
Show my conscience what fear's for
Now I know this is so real
What's done is done so do as you will!"

Close Second both j. Cash and T Hall some of my favorites
 
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you


You just got Rick Rolled, Bitch!
 
If you know what I know, and I think that you do
You'd head to the country, for a minute or two
and lie on the earth, for better or worse
and let it swallow you whole

Trampled By Turtles
 
Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labled mentally derranged

from Metallica... adopted as a mantra at a previous job...
 
It's the kind of night that's so cold when you spit,
It freezes before it hits the ground.
And when a bum asks for a quarter, you give a dollar,
If he's out tonight, he must be truly down.

Cowboy Junkies - Cheap Is How I Feel
 
Any lyric from "Sex Farm" or "Big Bottom" from Spinal Tap.

Seriously though: "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."

Oh and that’s alright with me"

-- Bruce Springsteen

Well, I'm no hero it's understood
All the redemption I got to offer is beneath this dirty hood
 
Ruth Ann and Lynn they wear them cut off britches
and those skinny little halters
And they're second cousins to me
Man I don't care I want to get between 'em
With a great big ol' hard on like a old bois d' arc fence post
You could hang a pipe rail gate from
Do some twisted sisters 'til the cows come home
And we'd be havin' us a time

James McMurtry - Choctaw Bingo
 
Welcome to my breakdown
Hope I didn't scare you
That's just the way we are when we come down
We sweat, laugh, and scream here
Cuz life is just a dream here
You know inside, you feel right at home
Welcome to my nightmare, Welcome to my BREAKDOWN!!
Alice Cooper
 
In truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
In the company of has-beens
And bent-backs and sleeping forms
On pavement steps
In libraries and railway stations
In books and banks
In the pages of history
In suicidal cavalry attacks
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes

Roger Waters




She said she's gonna quit me,
If I didn't quit the booze.
So I just started drinkin' more,
To see if she would really choose.
And I have to hand it to that girl:
She meant every breath.
An' I'm glad she did, 'cause I was about,
To drink myself to death.



I'm drinkin' some George Jones,
and a little bit of Coe
Haggard's easin' my misery
and Waylon's keepin' me from home
Hank's givin' me those high times -
Cash is gonna sing it low
I'm here gettin' wasted -
just like my country heroes


and the last two were hank III
 
See the blind man
Shooting at the world.
Bullets flying,
Taking toll.
If you've been bad,
Lord I'll bet you have.
You'd better close your eyes,
You better bow your head,
Wait for the ricochet.

"Child in Time" Deep Purple


Second place goes to just about anything by George Thorogood
 
So fill your cup and drink it all up, for tomorrow never comes
If you wield the rod, answer to your God but me I'll be up and gone
I'll be up and gone, gone

If the sea was glass and the land all gone, would you still be a friend to me?
When my time is passed, is it too much to ask for a little bit of sympothy?
Just a little bit of sympothy

Robin Trower - Little Bit of Sympathy
 
It's in my signature.

I'm a big Rory Gallagher fan, Rory was a big booze fan....we had common interests.

It's not his tune originally.
 
Ya broke my heart, you took it apart
So pack up your baggage and beat it!
Why should I cry over you?

Why should I cry over you - Frank
 
Twice upon a time in the valley of the tears
The auctioneer is bidding for a box of fading years
and the elephants are dancing on the graves of squealing mice
Anyone for tennis? wouldn't that be nice

Anyone For Tennis - Cream
 
Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk,
I didn't mean to call you that.



That line has applied to so many evenings in my life :drunk:
