I keep a close eye on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the (something something) for the tie that binds
Because you're mine
I walk the line
Johnny Cash
Hold the line,
love isn't always on time,
Toto
I drew a city
With a big skyscraper,
A plane in the sky,
and it started on the paper with a
Line, line,
Circle, circle,
Square, square, square, square,
Triangle, triangle...

Send me a postcard,
Drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate exactly what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
(Lennon/McCartney, "When I'm 64")
everything will work out fine
well, it's all right,
we're going to the end of the line,
Traveling Wilburys
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line
Glen Campbell
There ain't a line you've drawn I haven't crossed
The Cowboy in Me
Tim McGraw
One toke over the line, sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Brewer & Shipley
Walking on a thin line
Straight off the front line
Huey Lewis and the News
Potiphar was cool and so fine
"But my wife would never toe the line"
"Potiphar," from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat"
But the loud crowds and line dancing
Just ain't what they really want
Garth Brooks
"Ain't going down"
I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine
Two steps away from the county line
Just trying to keep the customer satisfied
Satisfied
Simon and Garfunkel
And the white line getting longer
and the saddles getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damned old
Garth Brooks
all of these lines across my face,
tell you the story of my life
Brandi Carlile
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hanging out on the line
Sara Evans
There were lines on the mirror
Lines on her face
Life in the Fast Lane
The Eagles
I couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to
Keith Urban
Hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
"Fire and Rain," James Taylor
Chrome wheeled fuel injected and stepping out over the line
Born to Run
Bruce Springsteen
Yesterday it was my birthday
I hung one more year on the line
I should be depressed
My life's a mess
But I'm having a good time
Paul Simon
Hold the line
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
Queen, "The Show Must Go On"
When I call you up
Your line's engaged
I have had enough
So act your age
Beatles
When he tells me I better get in line
I can't hear what he's saying
Sunshine Go Away Today?
I go to coney, the beach is divine
I go to ballgames, the bleachers are fine
I find a winchell(?), and read every line
That's why the lady is a tramp
Rogers and Hart

Good times and bum times
I've seen it all and my dear
I'm still here
I've stood on bread lines with the best
Watched while the headlines did the rest
In the depression, was I depressed?
No, my dear
I met a big financier
And I'm here
(Stephen Sondheim)
Ooh white lines.
Vision dreams of passion.
Blowin' through my mind.
And all the while I think of you.
White Lines by Grandmaster Flash
OOh a twofer:
The Rock Island line is a mighty fine line
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island line
An old-timey/bluegrass thing
(heading over to play "ticket")
Along came the FFV
The swiftest on the line
"The Wreck of the FFV," another trainwreck song from the SE U.S. Carter Family or Bob Wills or some of them.
I dig snow and rain and bright sunshine
Draggin' the line
Tommy James and the Shondells
Engine, engine number nine
Coming down the railroad line
Roger Miller
(and Thank you, Ellen!)
They told Marconi
Wireless was a phony
It's the same old line
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon
"They all laughed" (fred astaire movie)
I know I said I'd make you mine
Who'd a thought that you would fall for that old line
Fred Astaire sings it in Royal Wedding
