“Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert”

I also love:
“Gone are the days when the ox fall down,
Take up the yoke and plow the fields around. Gone are the days when the ladies said' "Please,
Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me."
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.”

Also:
“Well it's Saturday night
You're all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile
Maybe you been watching me too
So somebody ran out
Left somebody's heart in a mess
Well if you're looking for love
Honey I'm tougher than the rest “

How about:
“And now I know
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow
In New York City.”

Or:
“Back through the years
I go wonderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it was way down in the fall”

Festival was over, boys were all plannin' for a fall The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin' in the wall
The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down Anyone who had any sense had already left town.He was standin' in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of Hearts

“Phases & stages, circles & cycles, and scenes that we’ve all seen before.
Let me tell you some more.
Washing the dishes scrubbing the floors
Caring for someone who don't care anymore.”

“Take the ribbon from your hair, shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft upon my skin, like the shadows on the wall
Come and lay down by my side 'til the early morning light
All I'm takin' is your time, help me make it through the night”

Forgot this:
“Yesterday a child came out to wander
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time.”

Fare you well my honey
Fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you alone
Going to leave this broke-down palace
On my hands and my knees I will roll roll roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time, in my time, I will roll roll roll
Fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you alone
Going to leave this broke-down palace
On my hands and my knees I will roll roll roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time, in my time, I will roll roll roll
“Well, we busted out of class had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three-minute record, baby, than we ever learned in school”

“He said "I'll love you till I die",
She told him "You'll forget in time"
As the years went slowly by,
She still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall,
Went half-crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all,
Hoping she'd come back again”

“Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
And rode us all the way into New Orleans”

“Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the night time mist
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
Full of all them Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds”
