Foi Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Its not one line I know... but the last few lines of the The Drifter - Ray Pollard is just out of this world, as is the whole of the song as a matter of fact! The end is the part of the tune that i reckon reaches its highest emotional intensity, if you dont feel a little of the gut wrenching emotions from it then you certainly ain't human! "oohh I'm just a drifter I go from town to town, I'm just a drifter but I wasnt always down, cos once i had a girl by my side, a love so strong that money couldnt buy no, no, no but heaven called and took her away, out of my arms and left me to wander..." All the lyrics to the whole song just get to me everytime, always has done...sheer emotion... Edited May 19, 2015 by foi 3

Daved Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) "You're like a royal flush, next to a pair of threes" Lots of great lines in that song. Edited May 19, 2015 by daved

Westender Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 "I may be down and out and got holes in my shoes but I still feel as rich as Howard Hughes" Love that line from Home is where the heart is by Bobby Womack. "I got sunshine when the clouds are gray, when its cold outside I got the month of May" Not too many better opening lines that that I reckon. 1
