Can't remember my own, really. But these are some faves,

1) I'm the blood on your guitar.
I'm that wave you caught back in 1975. -Mike Ness, Social Distortion

2) Used to be I was really free, didn't need no gasoline to run.
Before you could say Jack Kerouac you'd turn your back and I'd be gone. -Steve Earle

3) Shake the dust off of your wings, and the sleep out of your eye. -Townes Van Zandt

4) Salvation sat and crossed herself
Called the devil partner
Wisdom burned upon a shelf
Who'll kill the raging cancer
Seal the river at its mouth
Take the water prisoner
Fill the sky with screams and cries
Bathe in fiery answers -Townes Van Zandt

from my song High Life:
daybreak slips me into the lost and found
with a weekend pass

from my song See Myself:
how do I say I want you to stay
when I haven't for so long

from a couple songs I'm working on:
I'm losing my time around here
and I don't want to lose it with you

There's no easy way to learn the hard way

I didn't think she could change my mind
and now she's changed my life

she said "you've got me all wrong
but at least you got me".

and from one of my favorite songwriters:
they teach you to fix
what needs to be broke
-- Paul Westerberg

Wow there are alot of great lines in here! Thanks everyone for sharing!

one of mine from an old band, the song was called Puppet-(blanker)
this is not my all-time fav line ever but alot of people really liked it

I don't want to be your puppet
I don't want to be your lover
because with you if you're one you're the other


This ones from this guy named Fink that a friend turned me on to, check out some of his stuff if you get a chance, IMO he's got some fantastic lyrics
this ones from his song Get Your Share

I used to live on cloud nine now I've moved to eight
and I do serious buisiness in surreal-estate
-------------------------------------
If you've got no grooving feet then you need helping hands
and if you got no great ideas then you need buisiness plans
