*** All time great lines in musical history ***

"But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die."

From "Folsom Prison Blues"
by Johnny Cash


My favorite for starters.

I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

Almost impossible considering he's written about 500 songs. A few dozen are absolute classics.

I aint like you...
I dont want your love...
I dont need your respect...
I just cant hate enough...
I have no tears or regrets.

Sometimes i feel like Ive got to get a gun and reach the top my own way.

Outside in the cold distance
a wildcat did growl
two riders were approaching
and the wind began to howl

But he left all of his royalties
To Spooner his old hound
Growin' old on steak and bacon
In a doghouse 10 feet round

So I asked her if she still cared
She didn't hear me, she just stared
Do you know what I mean?
Lord, Do you know what I mean?

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.
