How come my clothes don't have that "fresh clothes line" scent?

I buy Tide detergent (and use the recommended amount) and Snuggle dryer sheets (two per wash load) that are scented to smell clothes line fresh but my clothes never have that fresh scent even right out of the dryer. Could it have to do with my washer and/or dryer? Would liquid fabric softener make my clothes smell fresher? Or is there a better detergent and fabric softener brand to use for that fresh scent?

Because your clothes aren't getting deodorized. The scent in fabric softener sheets and most non-ionic laundry machine detergents (which is probably what you use) just cover up the bad smell, they don't get rid of it. They may be able to surface some odor causing bacteria so that it can be flushed away, but some odor causing bacteria is stubborn and needs a little more than detergent to remove it. Also some bacteria reacts with the molecules in your water and may get a positive or negative charge depending on how hard your water is, making them stick to your clothes even more. The chemicals I mention below will de-ionize your wash water, allowing the odor causing bacteria to release it's cling to your clothes fibers.

I suggest you add ammonia, baking soda, or borax to your machine's wash water. Your problem will be solved. If not come back and consult me. I welcome email and instant messages.

Also your clothes won't get that fresh scent from outside line drying if your neighborhood's outside air is polluted. I have experienced the same problem as well as the problems you mention in your question. Baking soda, borax and ammonia as wash water additives have cleared up the problem for me. I'm sure it will work for your too.

Also make your sure your washer is filtering the clothes and draining its water properly. Make sure your dryer is catching lint at optimum level and the dryer exhaust is not clogged with lint.
