You gotta be cruel to be kind.
The truth is not kind
And you've said neither am I
Nothing's so cold
As closing the heart when all we need is to free the soul
But we wouldn't be that brave I know

Jesus Christ died for nothin', I suppose."
Steal a little and they put you in jail / Steal a lot and they make you a king

A distance runner's dream:
"Easin' down the highway in a new Cadillac
I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back
They sportin' short dresses, wearin' spike-heel shoes
They smokin' Lucky Strikes, and wearing nylons too."
I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide. ZZ Top.
All time classic:
"Well, I'm standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love
Is gonna save me."

Suckin' on chilli dog outside the Tastee Freez

Got his hands between her knees
Life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone. John Mellencamp
