I met her on the strip three years ago In a Camaro with this dude from L.A. I blew that Camaro off my back And drove that little girl away But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes And she cries herself to sleep at night When I come home the house is dark She sighs, "baby did you make it all right" She sits on the porch of her daddy's house But all her pretty dreams are torn She stares off alone into the night With the eyes of one who hates for just being born For all the shut down strangers and hot rod angels Rumbling through this promised land Tonight my baby and me, we're gonna ride to the sea And wash these sins off our hands- bruce springsteen

Lennon and Marley died about 5 months apart, we missed out on plenty of good lyrics.

Always been drawn to the second verse of Seger's Against the Wind. Thought he nailed it.
The years rolled slowly past And I found myself alone Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends I found myself further and further from my home, and I Guess I lost my way There were oh-so-many roads I was living to run and running to live Never worried about paying or even how much I owed Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time Breaking all of the rules that would bend I began to find myself searching Searching for shelter again and again

Cheers Jim , so many great Bob Seger songs to choose from but this was one of my favorites.
I woke last night to the sound of thunder How far off I sat and wondered? Started hummin' a song from 1962 Ain't it funny how the night moves? When you just don't seem to have as much to lose Strange how the night moves With autumn closin' in

Let's start by noting my disbelief with the fact that nobody has posted anything from Leonard Cohen yet. I'm sure it is just an oversight.
Here is somebody most have probably never heard. That is unfortunate.
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION Mind bending Never ending skies I fall into you blue tonight Undress you with my eyes
Night’s falling Forever sprawling town For reasons I cannot explain I’ve let you get me down
Come out, come out, wherever you are Come out, come out, wherever you are
Shapeshifter Drifter of the tides When will you return to form And rematerialize
Torn speaker Seeker of the truth Before you stopped believing me You never asked for proof
Come out, come out, wherever you are Come out, come out, wherever you are
My dear, my nation I stand here for your consideration
Moonlighter Satellite of earth Yours will be the currency From which I judge my worth
Come out, come out, wherever you are Come out, come out, wherever you are
My dear, my nation I stand here for your consideration My own, my only It’s alright to be alone and lonely My dear, my nation I stand here for your consideration

spider, it will come as no surprise to anyone here that Ray is my favorite lyricist. Appreciate the recognition from others. hoop- I'm with you on Lennon, great combination of heartfelt lyrics and voice to express them. I know this may not be his best and the song is kind of a novelty now but it still stirs something in me.
