And find the strength to tell my daddy he was right
And tell mama I'm sorry about that night

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
On the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lyin’ cold the way you left them
But at least your lips caressed them as you packed

And a lip print on a half filled cup of coffee
That you poured and didn’t drink
But at least you thought you wanted it
That’s so much more than I can say for me

A Good Year For The Roses
George Jones

Great song ⬆️

The beginning of Ray Wylie Hubbard’s “Rabbit” has gotten me through many tough days and tough times:

I saw this ol' dog he was chasin' this rabbit
I saw a dog a'chasin' this rabbit
I saw this dog he was chasin' this rabbit
It was on Sunday, about noon.
I said to the rabbit, "Are ya gonna make it?"
I said the rabbit, " Ya gonna make it?"
I said to the rabbit, "Are ya gonna make it?"
The rabbit said said, "Well, I got to."

"But the kid is not my son"

[Yakinthebox]

It seems I'm always close minded with an open mouth
And the worst of me just seems to come right out
But I've never broken bones with a stone or a stick
But I'll conjure up a phrase that can cut to the quick
-Relient K

[AntlerCollector]

Memories and drinks don't mix too well
Jukebox records don't play those wedding bells.
Looking at the world through the bottom of a glass
All I see is a man who's fading fast.
.......I light a lonely woman's cigarette
We start talking about what we wanna forget.
Her life story and mine are the same
We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame.
Merle Haggard, Song: Misery and Gin

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
Garth Brooks, song: The Dance


Coming close together
With a feeling that I'd never known before in my time
She ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind
But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
Kris Krisofferson, song: Loving her was easier

[AntlerCollector]

I’ve got to add a few funny ones as well.

I could have killed her when I first met her
And I'd have been out of jail by now
- Waylon Jennings, song: Out of Jail

It's Hard to Kiss the Lips at Night That Chew Your *** Out All Day Long
-Song by The Notorious Cherry Bombs


You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly
-Song by Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn

[Tom]

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

[MadHatter]

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

[AntlerCollector]

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

[Gumbo Man]

Well I was cuttin a rug down at a place Jugs with a girl named Linda Lou
When a in come a man with a gun in his hand and he was lookin for a you know who
He said hey there fella with the hair colored yella watcha tryin to prove
Well that’s my woman there and I’m a man who cares and this might be all for you

I said EXCUSE ME…….

[Philip-TX]

I can make anybody pretty
I can make you believe any lie
I can make you pick a fight
With somebody twice your size

I been known to cause a few break ups
I been known to cause a few births
I can make you new friends
Or get you fired from Work

...
Been making the bars lots of big money
And helping white people dance
I got you in trouble in high school
But college, now that was a ball
You had some of the best times
You'll never remember with me
Alcohol

I got blamed at your wedding reception
For your best man's embarrassing speech
And also for those
Naked pictures of you at the beach

I've influenced kings and world leaders
I helped Hemmingway write like he did
And I'll bet you a drink or two that I can make you
Put that lampshade on your head

...
'Cause since the day I left Milwaukee
Lynchburg and Bordeaux France
Been making a fool out of folks just like you
And helping white people dance
I'm medicine and I am poison
I can help you up or make you fall
You had some of the best times
You'll never remember with me
Alcohol

[jdg13]

Stand up and be counted
For what you are about to receive
We are the dealers
We'll give you everything you need
Hail hail to the good times
'Cause rock has got the right of way
We ain't no legend, ain't no cause
We're just livin' for today
For those about to rock, we salute you!
