Let's go down to the Sunset Grill
Watch the working girls go by
Watch the basket people walk around and mumble
And gaze out at the auburn sky
Maybe we'll leave come springtime
Meanwhile, I'll have another beer
What would we do without these jerks anyway?
Besides, all our friends are here

My brother Bill runs a still on the hill
Where he turns out a gallon or two
And the buzzards in the sky get so drunk they can not fly
Just from sniffing that good ol' mountain dew.

Well they call it that good ol' mountan dew,
And them that refuse it are few.
I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug
With that good ol' mountain dew.

Later in the evening
As you lie awake in bed,
With the echoes from the amplifiers
Ringin' in your head.
You smoke the day's last cigarette,
Rememberin' what she said..
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

While it's not from a song, I do like this intro to a song from a Led Zeppelin bootleg I have:

Robert Plant: "We are awaiting with baited breath the arrival of our percussionist, who seems to have had too many Heinekens behind the equipment".

Nellie wore a brand new dress
It looked a little thin
She asked me did I like it
So I told her with a grin...

Peetie, you're the Devil, and I am an expert in that field.
