"If I'd a shot 'im when I met 'im I'd be out of jail by now." —a country singer I once heard on A Prairie Home Companion
"It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass our all day long." —Vince Gill and Rodney Crowell

I don’t know whether it’s the best, but it always amuses me: “Is it still over, are we still through? Since my phone still ain’t ringing, I assume it still ain’t you”
David Murray says
Love that, Joan. Some other nominees, from Facebook friends:
Sky Damon suggests, “Because my drinkin’ problem left today. She packed up all her things and walked away.”
Tim Hicks posits, “How can I miss you when you won’t go away?” And adds, “Drop kick me, Jesus, through the goalposts of life.”
And Greg Neise contributes, “Flushed From the Bathroom of Your Life.”

Greg Marsh says
From my own song, “I Ain’t Country Enough:”
I can never find a cowboy hat that fits on my head;
I ain’t ever made a sheep nervous, and I’m sure Elvis is dead;
It don’t turn me on to see my sister in the buff;
Aw, shucks, I ain’t country enough!
David Murray says
Marsh, I’d pay to hear you sing that, if I hadn’t already done so!
