Thread Name: Songs that hook you with One Great Line
Subject: RE: Songs that hook you with One Great Line
Hank Thompson:
He's got a way with women and he just got away with mine

Mojo Nixon (from Are You Drinkin' With Me, Jesus):
I know that you can walk on the water, but can you walk on this much beer

Muddy Waters:
My baby
She run off with the garbage man
Oh I need that good-lookin' woman
So she can empty my cans

Woody Guthrie:
Take it easy, but take it

BB King (from How Blue Can You Get):
I bought that girl a brand new Ford
She said, "I want a Cadillac"
I bought her a ten-dollar dinner
She said, "Thanks for the snack"
I let her live in my penthouse
She said that it's just a shack
I gave her seven children
and now she wants to give 'em back
