Best lyrics of all time? I'm sure I'll think of better ones later & post them, bur right now, what comes to mind is Joe Diffie's "Third Rock From The Sun". When you first listen to it, it sounds like just a fun party song, but then you listen to the lyrics, you get this really cool storyline of a chain reaction starting with a woman walking into a bar & ending with the entire town losing power lol. "Third Rock From The Sun" She walks into Smokey's, one hip at a time Like a broken field runner, slipping through the line He likes the way she looks, so he calls the little wife And says "Don't wait up for me, I'll be working late tonight" Wife hangs up the phone, bursts into tears Calls her sister up & cries "Get over here!" Sister tells her boyfriend "Be back in awhile" Boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile He leaves the motor running, he'll only be a minute His car drives away with teenagers in it The driver tells his buddies "Got one life to live" They scream into the night "Let's get it over with!" Cause & effect, chain of events All of the chaos makes perfect sense When your spinning 'round, things come undone Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun The kid guns the gas, car starts to swerve Heads for a semi, car jumps the curb Truck hits a street sign in the Shoney's parking lot It flies through the air, takes out the bank clock Clock strikes a lightpole, transformer sparks Lines go down, town goes dark Waitress calls the cops, says she saw it all Swears a giant alien has landed at the mall Cops ring up the mayor, say "There's panic in the streets We hate to wake you up but we can't find the chief" Mayor says "Use your heads! If he ain't in his car He's hiding from his wife down at Smokey's Bar" Cause & effect, chain of events All of the chaos makes perfect sense When your spinning 'round, things come undone Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun Cause & effect, chain of events All of the chaos makes perfect sense When your spinning 'round, things come undone Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun Welcome to Earth, third rock from the sun
"i jerk off inside books and give life to words leaving concepts stuck together you've probably never heard i love it when people think i'm psychologically disturbed cuz it means i overloaded their neurological nerves" -immortal technique i love basically anything by immortal technique.
I love the last part of the second verse of Tim McGraw's "Just To See You Smile" And yesterday I knew just what you wanted When you came walking up to me with him So I told you that I was happy for you And given the chance, I'd lie again I just love the simple honesty in that line
I like country music that comes from that era of country, RENT, but I still hate that song I talked about earlier. Sorry, I just think that country music bombed after about '99 and has yet to make any sort of return. It just gets worse and worse.

"This Ain't Nothing" by Craig Morgan was an AWESOMELY powerful song that was out this past summer, about what's really important in life... "This Ain't Nothing" He was standing in the rubble Of an old farmhouse outside Birmingham When some on-the-scene reporter Stuck a camera in the face of that old man He said "Tell the folks, please mister What are you gonna do Now that this twister Has taken all that's dear to you?" The old man just smiled And said "Boy, lemme tell you something: This ain't nothing" He said "I lost my daddy When I was 8 years old That cave-in at the Kincaid Mine Left a big old hole And I lost my baby brother My best friend, & my left hand In a no-win situation In a place called 'Vietnam' And last year I watched my loving wife Of 50 years waste away & die And I held her hand Til her heart of gold stopped pumping So this ain't nothing" He said "I learned at an early age There's things that matter & things that don't So if you're waiting here for me to cry I hate to disapoint you, boy, but I won't" Then he reached down in the rubble And picked up a photograph Wiped the dirt off of it With the hand that he still had He put it to his lips And said "Man, she was something But this ain't nothing" He said "I lost my daddy When I was 8 years old That cave-in at the Kincaid Mine Left a big old hole And I lost my baby brother My best friend, & my left hand In a no-win situation In a place called 'Vietnam' And last year I watched my loving wife Of 50 years waste away & die We were holding hands When her heart of gold stopped pumping So this ain't nothing" He said "This ain't nothing time won't erase And this ain't nothing money can't replace" He said "You sit & watch your loving wife Of 50 years fighting for her life Then you hold her hand Til her heart of gold stops pumping Well, boy that's something So this ain't nothing"
I got the winner. Some song on the Hip Radio Reggea station right now. It's not a joke, I really heard it.
