Its more than one line but it goes
[i]Today I tell you,
leave the past behind
Search for yourself
cause you're the hardest thing to find[/i]
The song is called "Sacrifice Me" and its by a band called Salty Dog

This is from a really old song. Linda Ronstadt had it on the flip side of Blue Bayou.
When I die take my saddle from the wall, put it on my pony and lead him from his stall. Tie my bones on his back, turn our faces to the west and we'll ride the prairie that we like the best.

Ellis Paul - Sweet Mistakes
'Pop the cork, a champagne glass
Raise to the future, drink to the past
Thank the Lord for the friends he cast,
In the play he wrote for you.'
'So if you live your life in a three piece suit,
In a cocktail dress, or combat boots
You pick your path and you walk your truth
And the world will come round to you.'
'It's a long strange ride, I can't tell you why
But there's a place in your pocket where peace can abide
You pull it out, it's a compass, a guide
And it will put a little soul on you.'
Elliot Smith - I Better Be Quiet Now
Wish you gave me your number
Wish I could call you today
Just to hear a voice
I got a long way to go
I'm getting further away
If I didn't know the difference
Living alone I'd probably be okay
It wouldn't be lonely
I got a long way to go
I'm getting further away
A lot of hours to occupy
It was easy when I didn't know you yet
Things I'd have to forget
But I better be quiet now
I'm tired of wasting my breath
Carrying on, and getting upset

I have too much music to pick from but I feel this is a very true and meaningful line:
"Life is one big party when you're still young. But who's gonna have your back when it's all done."

I would have to say it is:
"If you were with me tonight I'd sign to you just one more time a song for a heart so big God couldn't let it live. May Angels lead you in."
The song is Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World
And one day, this will get tattooed on my arm. Though it will be a sad day, the experience will also be incredibly powerful and moving :)
