Thought this might be a good one. These are just a couple that came up on my iPod today.

Sons of Bill - Broken Bottles

Hank Williams Might have been a love-sick drinker, but bein a love-sick drunk don't make you Hank

Drive-By Truckers - Marry Me

Rock and Roll means well, but it can’t help tellin’ young boys lies

Ray Lamontagne - Jolene

Man needs something he can hold on to, nine pound hammer or a woman like you, either one of those things will do

"Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat" :spinny:

Seriously though the older Linkin Park stuff has a lot of my favorite songs to sing along to in the car. I can also sing a bunch of ACDC songs nearly word for word since they were on repeat in my car from 9th grade until I was a freshman at ISU.
 
ODB's Second Verse from "Shame on a *****"

Yo...!
I come with that ol' loco
Style from my vocal
Couldn't peep it with a pair of bi-focals
I'm no joker! Play me as a joker
Be on you like a house on fire! Smoke ya!
Crews be actin like they gangs, anyway
Be like, "Warriors! Come out and playiyay!"
Burn me, I get into ****, I let it out like diarrhea
Got burnt once, but that was only gonorrhea
Dirty, I keep **** stinks in my drawers
So I can get fzza-funky for yah
Murder, taste the flame of the Wu-Tang RAHH!
Here comes the Tiger verse Crane!
Ow, be like wild with my style
Punk! You playing me, chump, you get DUMPED
WU! Is comin THROUGH! At a theatre near YOU!
And get funk like a SHOE!
What?!
 
Kris Kristofferson/Johhny Cash -Sunday Morning Coming Down
"I woke up Sunday Morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt". (But the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert.)

Salamagundi -Quiet Desperation
"the bar stool prophet rained in his smoky kingdom, while the prince of fools waited for his queen to come."

Dewey Cox/Dan Bern -Beautiful Ride
"As I stand on the precipice of death, my perspective is enormous"

Billy Joel -Piano Man
"...when I wore a younger man's clothes.."

Def Leppard -Rock of Ages
"Gunter glieben glauchen globen"
 
hard to beat Jim Morrison for good lyrics.

"I'll tell you this, no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn."

-The Wasp

And I've always like this part of The Soft Parade

"Successful hills are here to stay, Everything must be this way
Gentle streets where people play, Welcome to the Soft Parade
All our lives we sweat and save, Building for a shallow grave
Must be something else we say, Somehow to defend this place
Everything must be this way, Everything must be this way."

underrated song on an underrated album.

Meth's verse in Triumph

As the world turns, I spread like germs
Bless the globe with the pestilence, the hard-headed never learn
It's my testament to those burned
Play my position in the game of life, standin firm
on foreign land, jump the gun out the fryin pan, into the fire
Transform into the Ghostrider, a six-pack
and (A Streetcar Named Desire), who got my back?
In the line of fire holdin back, what?
My peoples if you with me where the **** you at?
Niggaz is strapped, and they tryin to twist my beer cap
It's court adjourned, for the bad seed from bad sperm
Herb got my wig fried like a bad perm, what the blood
clot, we smoke pot, and blow spots
You wanna think twice, I think not
The Iron Lung ain't got ta tell you where it's coming from
Guns of Navarone, tearing up your battle zone
Rip through your slums

AC/DC's "Let There Be Rock" got me an A on a poem assignment in junior high.
 
My all-time favorite line has been used in this thread already, but here are some other good ones:

"Don't matter how you do it, just do it like you know it" Jerry Jeff Walker

"You know you gotta dance with who you came to the dance with" The Hold Steady

"A person can work up a mean, mean thirst after a hard day of nothing much at all" The Replacements

"Cocaine rich comes quick, thats why the small dicks have it all" Drive-By Truckers
 
Da Lench Mob - Guerillas in tha Mist

Finally caught up with a devil named Tarzan
Swingin on a vine
Suckin on a piece of swine
*****boo come up from behind
Hit him with a coconut
Stab him in the gut
Push him out the tree
he falls right on his nuts
And just like EPMD
I don't like a *****
Named J to tha A to tha N-E
Can't wait to meet her
I'm gonna kill 'er
Cause that little mutha****ing cheetah can't hang with a guerilla!
 
Jape - Floating

We took our first pill when
the music was ****
I said "**** dancing all night"
but then that's just what we did
It felt like flooooating
It felt like floating
