I was looking for a job when I found this one

And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge"

Hang on to your woman if you got one
Remember in El Paso , once you shot one.
She may have been a whore, but she was a hot one.
Billy, you been runnin for so long.

Melinda was mine till the time that I found her.Holdin Jim lovin him.
Then Sue came along loved me strong that’s what I thought me and sue but that died too.
 
That's an entire song. I was looking for a LINE. You need more guidance?
Apparently so.

I apologize for ruining your afternoon by enjoying the premise of your post and responding enthusiastically.
Thoughts and prayers as you struggle to recover from this, and what must be many, many other small but devastating personal traumas. ;)
 
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind, ain't life unkind.

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet'
 
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind, ain't life unkind.

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.Seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table.
 
The Colorado Rocky Mountain High
I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply...

So let it rock, let it roll
Let the. Bible Belt come and save my soul
Hold onto 16 as long as you can
Changes come around real soon make us women and men

She holds the hand that holds her down

That’s great it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid...

Well I’m a standin on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It’s a girl my Lord in a flat bed Ford
Slowin down to take a look at me
 
Set out runnin but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine

Every silver lining’s got a touch of grey

I’ll be your Dixie Chicken if you’ll be my Tennessee Lamb and we can walk together down in Dixieland.

Whiskey and bad cocaine,
Poison get you just the same,
And if that, that don’t kill you soon, the women will down at the Spanish Moon

Goodbye blue sky your my sunny day, Lord you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way
 
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb
 
I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds
And you loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Oh my shame
You know I believe it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there's a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band

Woah, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch

Baby, I can't make it without you
And I'm, I'm telling you, honey
You're my reason for laughing, for crying
For living and for dying
 
The mystery masked man was smart,
He got himself a Tonto.
cause Tonto did the dirty work for free.
but Tonto he was smarter,
And one day said Kemosabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I’m goin out to sea.
 
“Squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg. Baby when you squeeze it so hard, you know your gonna make me fall right outta bed”
Led Zeppelin-Traveling Riverside Blues and I’m sure some previous blues men before them
 
“Strike your gait and win!”


Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the crowd I try
But in my lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown

Big gorilla at the L.A. Zoo
Snatched the glasses right off my face
Took the keys to my BMW
Left me here to take his place

I wish the ape the greatest success
Sorry my apartment’s a mess
Most of all I’m sorry if I made you blue
I’m bettin’ the gorilla will too

Why d'ya have to say that you know when you don't know?
It's okay if you don't know everything.

Well, I'm standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me

Somewhere we have a photo of my late brother standing on that corner in front of the post office in Winslow presumably waiting for that girl.
