For me, this is an easy one. Even though I have a love/hate relation with this artist & his music & his singing, the opening line of "Born To Run" just absolutely fucking rules😎
"In the days we sweat it out on the streets/of a runaway American dream..."

Your pick?
Impossible to narrow it down to one. But here goes. Ask me tomorrow and maybe I'd pick something else :)
Only love can make it rain

That is indeed a good one😎👍
I think you could pick just about any song by the Who. They have a lot of songs with great opening lines!
Baba O'Reilly
("Out here in the fields/I fought for my meals...")
Won't Get Fooled Again
("We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet")
Squeeze Box
("Mama's Got a squeeze box she wears on her chest")
Naked Eye
("Take a little dope/and walk out in the air")
Long Live Rock
("Down at the Astoria the scene was changing")
Slip Kid
("I've got my clipboard, text books
Lead me to the station")
"Well, we were just another band out of Boston"
Rock and Roll Band - Boston: -

When I visited Planet Hollywood in Boston it had this written above the entrance, which I thought was very apt.
I live my life like there's no tomorrow.
shareFor me:
"I am the master of the universe / the wind of time is blowing through me."

or maybe:
"Comin' out of nowhere, driving like rain / Stormbringer dance on the thunder a-gain."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C2K889u_90
"I swear by almighty God, to tell the whole truth and nothing but, the truth!"
Guns on the Roof by the Clash
