"The only good years in my life are the tyres/tires on my ute/jeep!"

That's a great pun!

"I laid the track, ... never rode the train".

"I drink because I'm lonesome. I'm lonesome because I drink".


and here's a line from of the songs I wrote,

"I was on my way up, didn't even realize I was down".


Those first two lines have already been used too.

"Jimmy" from the Black Jack Duo onboard a Carnival cruise we just completed,
liked to kid the audience that he was going to do one on his own songs called

"I Kissed Her Lips And Left Her Behind For You".
