"Well I woke up Sunday morning... no way to move my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert"

"I met a gin soaked bar-room queen down in Memphis. She tried to take me upstairs for a ride. She had to heave me right across her shoulder, cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind."

Re: Favorite line to open a song?
A recent standout:
"Bitch, I love you" - "Bitch, I Love You" by Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears
And, while it's not necessarily a great line, I always get excited hearing Stan Bush sing, "You've got the touch/You've got the power, yeah!"

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand walkin through the streets of Soho in the rain.

That song also has one of my favorite lines ever: "Little old lady got mutilated late last night". The alliteration just rolls off the tongue!

I am eating hashbrowns at the Snow White Diner/ Outside cars are honking, flashing lights on the bridge/ They're pulling a car up from the bottom of the frozen lake.
