Some friends and I play a game via email similar to the Movie Trivia thread where we give only the opening line to a song and see who can guess the song first. We title the emails GOL for Great Opening Line.

In fairness we try not to use deep cuts, songs that were never somewhat mainstream, as the object is to see who remembers the first line of the song from songs we think each other would know.

So I'll start with a fairly easy one, if the curmudgeons like me don't get it the whipper-snappers will from the remake:

"Sleeping very soundly on a Saturday morning I was dreaming I was Al Capone..."

First one gets it, add yer own.

Here's mine:

I'm shufflin' thru the Texas sand, but my head's in Mississippi.

This should be an esay one.
 
"Off our rockers actin' crazy.
And with the right medication we won't be lazy".
 
I went home with the waitress, the way I always do...
How was I to know she was with the Russians, too?

I've heard this one. I can't remember who it is. But it's called something like: Old People Boogie
 
Me and my wife play something like this, so I've had some practice.

Next song

My heater's broke and I'm so tired, I need some fuel to build a fire

bad guess but a try...- "Fuel for Fire", Metallica's NASCAR friendly sister song to "Fuel"? It's on a NASCAR (i think) tunes cd.
 
And I will add this song which contains my favorite guitar solo of all time:

Walk along the river, sweet lullaby, it just keeps on flowing,
It don’t worry ’bout where it’s going, no, no.

Blue Sky - The Allman Brothers

"There goes the siren that warns of the air raid,
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak"

Hey! I hit 2500 posts with this one!:D
 
Aces High-->Iron Maiden

"If this is hell, well thats fine with me
all of the wonder presumably happily
eager to follow the fool thats got into
the head of me, we dont have any doubt
were out there making friends
unconciously rolling through
meanings from pollings
the answers are meaner sometimes
than the means to our ends"

not exacty an opening line,but an opening verse.

"My pain is self-chosen
At least, so The Prophet says
I could either burn
Or cut off my pride and buy some time
A head full of lies is the weight, tied to my waist"
