Are there song lyrics that strike a chord (pun intended) with you?

We had stopped very early in the morning for breakfast in a small country town. It was my birthday that day and as we walked into the diner that song was playing. We were exhausted from traveling and somehow we just started laughing about how close that song was to our lives at the moment!
This ol' highway's getting longer
Seems there ain't no end in sight
To sleep would be best, but I just can't afford to rest
I've got to ride in Denver tomorrow night
I called the house but no one answered
For the last two weeks no one's been home
I guess she's through with me, to tell the truth I just can't see
What's kept the woman holding on this long
And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
The competition's getting younger
Tougher broncs, you know I can't recall
The worn out tape of Chris LeDoux, lonely women and bad booze
Seem to be the only friends I've left at all
And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
Lord, I'm much too young to feel this damn old.

One of my all time favorites:
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

When Garth sang this in Nashville in December I got tears at the line: worn out tape of Chris LeDoux - because of the cheering. Love Garth and love his tribute to Chris LeDoux who he opened for when he (Garth) was starting out. Chris LeDoux was a great guy and I miss him.[/quote]
I miss him also. :(

Oh man, do we ever have some great music running through our souls! John Lennon, Garth, Jim Croce, Jimmy Buffett (yes I'm an old parrot head too!), Lynyrd Skynyrd, Josh Groban (the voice of angels on this earth), Celine, Frank Sinatra, well, the list goes on and on. Someone asked how we have room in our heads to remember all this and I think is is funny too because I can't remember why I walked into another room but can recite word for word songs I grew up with!
If I could put into quilts the emotions I experience hearing my favorite songs, well, I would count myself as fortunate beyond belief!
Anyway, just had to make one more comment. Keep on rocking!

Probably the one that sticks out first is the lyrics to Bonnie Raitt song "Nick of Time"...I love the whole song...but verse always sticks with me:
I see my folks, they're getting old, I watch they're bodies change
I know they see the same in me, and it makes us both feel strange
No matter how you tell yourself, its what we all go through
Those lines are pretty hard to take, when they're staring back at you
Scared to run out of time

I love Stairway to Heaven, my sister sang it at my first wedding! (i was a kid then). One of my all-time favs though is Springsteen's Thunder Road, especially "You ain't a beauty, but hey! you're alright." Also, I love Angie by the Stones and Anticipation by Carly Simon.
