Thread Name: best single lines in songs
Subject: RE: best single lines
Just a few of many from Chris Smither:

Don't try to find your place in line 'cause it's everywhere

I'm not a passenger, I am the ride.

It ain't what it is that's such a sin, it's what it might have been

And not a single line, but still:
I don't pick no cotton, and I never pick my nose
Couldn't pick a pocket in a pile of dirty clothes
But I pick'em, and I choose'em,
I pick the locks they use to keep me in
I pick'em up I put'em down, that's how I get around
But it's wearin' thin.

Just genius.
Bo
