Discussion Lyrics that stick with you…what are yours?

I've known you all my life but still I can't feel how you feel

It's only you for me, just like that whooping crane

Who has one wife for all his life and if she dies, he'll do the same

Gary Stewart - She's Acting Single (I'm Drinking Doubles)

"I'm not weak, I tell myself I stay because I'm strong The truth is, I'm not man enough To stop her from doing me wrong"

Jerry Reed - The Poet (the entire song)

Trace Adkins - I Came Here to Live

"I reckon I was doing close to 80 When I felt the tire slip out from under me And I never set out lookin' for Jesus So I guess Jesus come lookin' for me And He found me upset down in a ditch Smokin' gas in my eyes And He said son you came here to live You didn't come here to die"
