What's your favorite opening line from any song?
Yep, super easy one for me today. This is actually the very first song I posted about here on CrucialTracks, but it's my favorite opening line from a song and it happens to be my favorite song of all time, Livin' On A Prayer by Bon Jovi.
[Intro]
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
[Verse 1]
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike, he's down on his luck
It's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man
She brings home her pay for love
Mmm, for love
[Pre-Chorus]
She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We got each other, and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot"
[Chorus]
Oh, we're half way there
Oh-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Oh-oh, livin' on a prayer
