Shoulda seen the look on the face of the boss of the second shift
When I threw my hard hat at him
An' suggested the box where he could stick it
I walked downstairs an told 'em I was leavin' Bethlehem
Like I'd seen the Savior, had tears in my eyes
Holdin' my hands up an' shoutin', Amen
'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do
I spent most of my life a-wrapped up tight
In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes
Startin' today, I'm someone I'd be proud to know
You might tell me where to go
But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do
We buried Daddy just like week at the church to save the soul
Man, he dreamed of pilot's wings, spent his whole life diggin' coal
I got a guitar under my bed but I've been too scared to fly
But that's enough of that stuff, I'm packin' up my truck
They can just kiss my butt goodbye
'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do
I spent most of my life a-wrapped up tight
In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes
Startin' today, I'm someone I'd be proud to know
You might tell me where to go
But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do
'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do
(Ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do)
I spent most of my life a-wrapped up tight
In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes
Startin' today, I'm someone I'd be proud to know
You might tell me where to go
But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do
I've tried Tequila, tried Mary-Jane
It got me no-where, it just drove me insane
Single dumb an' stupid, baby, wasn't I a fool?
Ain't nothin' better than lovin' you, hey
I've meditated on a single drop of rain
Heard one hand clappin', there was silence in my brain
It showed me somethin', baby, I already knew
Ain't nothin' better than lovin' you
I been high, a time or two
Those days are done
Now, you're the one I'm turned on to
I know, now, what I'm gonna do
The master-plan for this old man is
Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
God made your body, baby, he built it well
If He made somethin' better then He kept it for himself
When we get to Heaven, girl, I bet He'll tell you too
Ain't nothin' better than lovin' you
I been high, a time or two
Those days are done
Now, you're the one I'm turned on to
I know, now, what I'm gonna do
The master-plan for this old man is
Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
After tryin' everything
I found my life's Venus
I been high, a time or two
Those days are done
Now, you're the one I'm turned on to
I know now, what I'm gonna do
The master-plan for this old man is
Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you
I been high, yeah, a time or two
Those days are done
Now, you're the one, girl, I'm turned on to
I know, now, what I'm gonna do
The master-plan for this old man is
Lovin' you, lovin' you, oh, lovin' you
I'm turning on
I've been lost in the darkness for so long I can't see the light
I've been strung out, burned out, left out an' hung out to dry
So I say to myself that I wanna get better
Hidin' from the truth, I can't last forever
Jesus, help me, obviously
I can't help myself, I've got nobody else
Send me an angel, someone to strangle
That old demon that's hauntin' me
There on the shelf, I can't help myself
An' my excuses are so old an' tired hell, I forgot 'em
I keep fallin', an' crawlin', an' drownin' down here on the bottom
Yeah, I've pushed back my brothers, said goodbye to my friends
When you get in this deep, the hell never ends
Jesus, help me, obviously
I can't help myself, an' I've got nobody else
Send me an angel, someone to strangle
That old demon that's hauntin' me
There on the shelf, I can't help myself
Gimme a reason to live an' show me sign
I'm on the edge goin' out of my mind
I'm down on my knees, I'm beggin' You please
Make me somebody else, I can't help myself
Oh, I need something stronger, pour it all over me
Send me an angel, someone to strangle
That old demon, aah, 'cause You know that I never will
I'm the kind of man that loves all the girls
From debutantes to honky-tonk queens
I've tasted every brand all around the world
But all I see are peaches in my dreams
I'm talkin' 'bout, I'm talkin' 'bout them southern women
It's a well known fact across the Dixie line
And if a man don't agree I can tell you he's blind
They can drink with the best and the hell with the rest
And if she takes you home you ain't gettin' no rest
I'm talkin' 'bout, I'm talkin' 'bout them southern women
I'm talkin' 'bout they'll love you so slow them southern women
Them southern girls
They look like angels on Saturday night oh-Lord they got a wild side
Take you places that you've never been make a man come back again
Talk about mama's southern belle little girl learned her lesson well
Ain't no others can cast a spell like the sweet southern women
I'm talkin' 'bout, I'm talkin' 'bout them southern women
I'm talkin' 'bout they'll love you so slow them southern women
Them southern girls
They look like angels on Saturday night oh-Lord they got a wild side
Take you places that you've never been make a man come back again
Talk about mama's southern belle little girl learned her lesson well
Ain't no others can cast a spell like the sweet southern women
They can make a man feel so proud they can capture him with a southern style
Little girl learned her lesson well ain't no others can cast a spell
If I died
God knows why
Anyone should hurt this much inside
Gone so deep
Gone so far
Every breathe we break now just leaves scars
What's the world coming to
Without me? Without you?
Now the air that I'm breathin' just means nothing
Wanna tear the world apart
Find my way back to your heart
If I live another day I don't know
What's the world
Coming to?
What's the world
Without you?
I need your clothes
On my bed
Everything is just the way you left
Life goes on
Except for me
Even though your gone I just can't
I just can't leave
What's the world coming to
Without me? Without you?
Now the air that I'm breathin' just means nothing
Wanna tear the world apart
Find my way back to your heart
If I live another day I don't know
What's the world
Coming to?
What's the world
Without you?
Goodbye
No it doesn't exist
My heart
Keeps telling me this
What's the world coming to
Without me? Without you?
Now the air that I'm breathin' just means nothing
Wanna tear the world apart
Find my way back to your heart
If I live another day I don't know
Don't know
What's the world
Coming to?
What's the world
Without you?
What's the world
Coming to?
What's the world
"We Can't Do It Alone"
(Donnie Van Zant/Johnny Van Zant/Brett James)
I wear this cross 'cause I believe
He shed his precious blood so I'd be saved
And daddy had a gold one just like me
And when he died he wore it to his grave
He said "Don't you cry son,
'Cause in the long run
We'll all be together again"
'Cause we're all God's children
Sinners tryin' to make it to the light
Ain't no easy livin'
So hold on to one another
We're all sisters, we're all brothers
Just tryin' to find our way back home
And no we can't do it alone
No no no no no
Now I see the world through my child's eyes
And I wonder...where it's all gonna go
Things are hard, these are troubled times
You know the devil's always trying to steal your soul
And the older I get
The more I see that
More love is always what we need
'Cause we're all God's children
Sinners tryin' to make it to the light
Ain't no easy livin'
So hold on to one another
We're all sisters, we're all brothers
Just tryin' to find our way back home
And no we can't do it alone
And no one can be that strong
We can't make it on our own
We Can't Do it Alone
'Cause we're
GOD'S
CHILDREN
Sinners tryin' to make it to the light
Ain't no easy livin'
So hold on to one another
We're all sisters, we're all brothers
Just tryin' to find our way back home
And we can't do it alone
No no
Can't do it alone
No way, no way
Can't do it alone
No no no no no (no no no no no) [x2]
(no no no no no)
(no no no no no)
(no no no no no)
(no no no no no)
Oh, feel like a train
Set it up, tear it down
Another show to go, another town
Another place, another face
Another crowd of people, tank of diesel
Flying J truck stop
35 guys, a rolling jukebox
Gotta rock, can?t stop
Gonna keep on pushing through the Rockies
Nothing?s gonna stop me
Feeling like a train, pulling at the strain
Always got an uphill track with the world on my back
Pouring on the coal, feel a little old
Gotta suck it up, gotta be strong
Gotta be tough, gotta move on, on, on, on
It?s all I?ve ever known, feeling like a train, feeling like a train
Tick tock, time flies
Another year in gear passing by
Another song, another station
Back and forth across the nation
Some day, some way
Gonna jump these tracks and never look back
Gonna find me one tomorrow
With my dead hand on the throttle
Feeling like a train, pulling at the strain
Always got an uphill track with the world on my back
Pouring on the coal, feel a little old
Gotta suck it up, gotta be strong
Gotta be tough, gotta move on, on, on, on
It?s all I?ve ever known, feeling like a train
Feeling like a train, pulling at the strain
Always got an uphill track with the world on my back
Pouring on the coal, feel a little old
Gotta suck it up, gotta be strong
Gotta be tough, gotta move on, on, on, on
It?s all I?ve ever known, feeling like a train, feeling like a train
Feeling like a train
Feeling like a train
Feeling like a train
I swear I gave up drinkin'
Sometimes I have no choice
After singin' hard, six nights straight
A little sip sure helps my voice
Don't get me wrong, I love these songs
And I know I've got it made
Sometimes my mind starts driftin'
When I'm up here on the stage
To that last half-mile of dirt road
And that oak tree on the hill
To those dogs out, barkin' in the yard
And that tractor in the field
And them kids up on the front porch
Screamin', "Mamma, daddy's home"
When I'm out here, I'm just thinkin'
About the things I miss the most
Yeah, the hardest bthing I have to do
Is hang up this telephone
There's so much left to talk about
And I been gone so long
So put them kids on one more time
Before they go to sleep
And, baby, no, no matter where I go
All that I can see
Is that last half mile of dirt road
And that oak tree on the hill
To those dogs out, barkin' in the yard
And that tractor in the field
And them kids up on the front porch
Screamin', "Mamma, daddy's home"
When I'm out here, I'm just thinkin'
About the things I miss the most
The things I miss the most
The things I miss the most
And it's killin' me, I hate to leave
This family that you've given me
God only knows, I hate to go
So hold me close and let me let you know
About the things I miss the most
People always ask me
After every show
Of all the places that you've ever been
"What's your favorite place to go?
It's that last half mile of dirt road
And that oak tree on the hill
And those dogs out, barkin' in the yard
And that old' tractor in the field
And them kids up on the front porch
Screamin', "Mamma, daddy's home"
When I'm out here, I'm just thinkin'
'Bout the things I miss the most
While I'm out here, I'm just thinkin'
I got old glory hangin' out in my garage
And one on the chrome post flyin' in my yard
I got a patch on my jacket says, 'A Hundred And First'
And a sticker on my bumper says, 'Don't Mess With Her'
These colors don't run, I hold them dear to my heart
With all of my might I stand up and fight for every star and every stripe
Yeah, I'm a proud supporter of the men and the women
Who risk their lives for our cause, let me tell you, son
We're still number one and these colors don't run
I pledge allegiance to this nation and eagle flyin' high
I'm the first to shoot off fireworks on the 4th of July
And God bless the people who love this great land
Ah, when it comes to freedom united we stand
These colors don't run, I hold them dear to my heart
With all of my might I stand up and fight for every star and every stripe
Oh, I'm a proud supporter of the men and the women
Who risk their lives for our cause, let me tell you, son
We're still number one, these colors don't run
These colors don't run, these colors don't run
Oh, I'm a proud supporter of the men and the women
Who risk their lives for our cause, let me tell you, son
We're still number one, these colors don't run
We never will, we never have and you better be glad
Ooh!
You said it, but didn't really mean it
One too many times
If I'd been looking
I would have seen it comin'
Could have saved myself some time
You say this time it's different
But that don't make it right
You're just giving me another reason
To look you in the eye and say
That was yesterday
Oh it took a while, but I'm finding my way
That was yesterday
Oh baby you can say you love me all you can
I'm afraid you got the wrong man
Oh you got the wrong man
You had it, and I need it
More than just your time
You played it, and I bought it
But you would've hurt in time
Slowly but surely
You drove me out of my mind
But it's my turn baby
So don't be suprised
When you hear me sayin'
That was yesterday
Oh it took a while, but I'm finding my way
That was yesterday
Oh baby you can say you love me all you can
I'm afraid you got the wrong man
Oh you got the wrong man
Oh the wrong man
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
Oh it took a while, but I'm finding my way (hear me saying)
That was yesterday
Oh baby you can say you love me all you can
I'm afraid you got the wrong man
Oh you got the wrong man
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
(That was yesterday)
Oh you got the wrong man
(That was yesterday)
You had it...and I need it...more than just your time
(That was yesterday)
Once I had a fortune ridin' on the shoe
Of a field goal kicker from LSU
I never broke a sweat, hell, it was just a bet
Now, I've climbed mountains and jumped from planes
Even played chicken with a couple trains
Lord, I've been a fool, I still kept my cool
I don't mind admittin' this heart of mine
Starts to pound thinkin' 'bout
The day my son starts askin' me
All about my history
The things I don't want him to know
The sex, the drugs and rock n' roll
Or the first time I watched my daughter
Climb in some boy's car as I holler
?Honey, don't be late?
I swallow hard while they drive away
How sad my life without my wife would be
Now that scares me
This mornin' while I combed my hair
I found a few stray grays in there
And I laughed out loud, I guess I ain't that proud
Some people are afraid to die
But me and Jesus get along alright
I'll be okay 'cause my Judgment Day will be
The day my son starts askin' me
All about my history
The things I don't want him to know
The sex, the drugs, and rock n' roll
On the night I walked my daughter
Down the aisle in a stiff white collar
Just to hear them say
"Who gives this girl away"
And leave her standin' while I find my seat
Now that scares me
The things I don't want them to know
The sex, the drugs, and rock n' roll
And the day they call another house their home
I'm hopin' they find everything that they need
How sad my life without my wife would be
That Friday night seemed just like any other Friday night
Jimmy wasn't gonna play
Sittin' on the bench chompin' at the bit, knowin' he was better
Five, six, goin' on 6A
A man went down, Jimmy went in
Third an' long, first an' ten
Crowd went wild, "Touchdown"
Jimmy said, "I came to win"
If you're gonna go, go all the way
If you're gonna stay, stay in your ground
If you can't run with the big dogs, big dog
Let me walk you out
If you can't lead, let me buy you
If you won't follow, get out the way
You're takin' up space
Shelly had her daddy's money waitin'
All she had to do was share his chair
She had a dream that he didn't wanna chase her
She was a night-school millionaire
She worked two jobs to pay her way
Stayed up late to make the grade
Graduated, super-cool hearted
PhD the hard way
If you're gonna go, go all the way
If you're gonna stay, stay in your ground
If you can't run with the big dogs, big dog
Let me walk you out
If you can't lead, let me buy you
If you won't follow, get out the way
You're takin' up space
Life's too short to live in caution
Life's too long not to live it all
Oh, if you're gonna go, go all the way
If you're gonna stay, stay in your ground
If you can't run with the big dogs, big dog
Let me walk you out
If you can't lead, let me buy you
If you won't follow, get out the way
You're takin' up space
Oh, you're takin' up space
I've been burned
I've been hurt
I've been kicked to the curb
'Cause I'm more than a little hard on this world
Feeling more peace for me
Then I like what I see
Say you ain't just a dangerous toy
Got a bad attitude
On this blue avenue
I need someone to convince me I'm wrong
I've been up, I've been down
I've been lost, I've been found
If you think you can turn this heart around
Show me
Show me
Take me in your arms and hold me
You've got to show me
Show me
Show me your little rock n' roll fire
If you walk like you talk
Then you talk while you walk
But I can't still quite hear what you say
Come a little closer to me
'Cause I wanna believe
This don't happen to me everyday
YEAH!
Well it's 3 A.M., I've been waiting all night
For someone to light my soul
You keep saying it's you
And I'm praying it's true
If this is love
Do you know what to do?
Show me
Show me
Take me in your arms and hold me
You've got to show me
Show me
Show me your little rock n' roll fire
Come on and show me
Show me
Baby turn around and hold me
Show Me
Show Me
Show me your little rock n' roll fire
Come on and show me!
Oh! Oh!
Ha, show me
If you walk like you talk
Then you talk while you walk
If you mean what you say
Girl we'll go all the way
If you like how it feels
Then we'll know that it's real
You keep saying it's you
And I'm praying it's true
If this is love
Do you know what to do?
Know what to do??
THEN BABY STOP TALKING AND
SHOW ME!
SHOW ME!
TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS AND HOLD ME!
YOU'VE GOT TO SHOW ME!
SHOW ME!
SHOW ME YOUR LITTLE ROCK N' ROLL FIRE!
COME ON AND SHOW ME!
SHOW ME!
BABY TURN AROUND AND HOLD ME!
YOU'VE GOT TO SHOW ME!
SHOW ME!
SHOW ME YOUR LITTLE ROCK N' ROLL FIRE!
SHOW ME YOUR LITTLE ROCK N' ROLL FIRE!
SHOW ME YOUR LITTLE ROCK N' ROLL FIRE!
It was a bad day in the mirror
There I stood the livin' dead
When I saw the face so familiar
Hoverin' like a voice over my head
It took me back to that October
I was playing to the crowd
I was suddenly stone cold sober
When I heard a voice calling out loud
He said...
Boy you're headed down the road that leads nowhere
There's only one direction you can turn, only love can take
you there
Right Side Up
Feel it from the inside
Hot side out
When you're on the downslide
Don't be afraid
Of prayin to love
Hot side out, or Right side up
Well I ain't here to preach no sermon
But for me it was the truth
When the wind would crack and the thunder roared
Lord I thought that I was bulletproof
I was headed down the road to nowhere
There's only one direction you can turn, only love can take
you there
Right Side Up
Feel it from the inside
Hot side out
When you're on the downslide
Round and round
Down and out
Don't tell me that's what you're all about
Right Side Up
Feel it in your heartbeat
Don't back down
Walking down the right street
Don't be afraid
Of prayin to love
Hot side out, or Right side up
Once you get straight, you're headed in the right direction
You can see it clearly for the first time
Think you finally got the right side up
Oh things are looking up
I was headed down the road to nowhere
There's only one direction you can turn, only love can take
Love can take you
Love can take you there
(Right Side Up)
Feel it from the inside
(Hot side out)
When you're on the downslide
Round and round
Down and out
Don't tell me that's what you're all about
Right Side Up
Feel it in your heartbeat
Don't back down
Walking down the right street
Don't be afraid
Of prayin to love
Hot side out, or Right side up
Oh right side up
(Feel it in your heartbeat)
Right side up
(Walking down the right street)
Right side up
Oh right side up
Right side up
Right side up
Right side up
Right side up
Right side up
Let me loose
Set me free
I've been burning
Endlessly
There's no way back
Where I come from
Misery
Bottled up
Shaken out
No eyes of shadow
On the ground
Time's run out
Luck's run dry
We're living in a rage of fire
Drowing by the winds of change
No one has the right to come and take my rage
Dancing on the edge of darkness
Blinded by the face of hell
I got to know this rage
Oh so well
There's a world I can't forget
And this life won't let me live
I look to you, aim away
It appears to me
We're living in a rage of fire
Drowing by the winds of change
No one has the right to come and take my rage
Dancing on the edge of darkness
Blinded by the face of hell
I got to know this rage
There's so much I got to lay down
This rage shakes these roots from the ground
I've got to bury it now
We're living in a rage of fire
Drowing by the winds of change
No one has the right to come and take my rage
Dancing on the edge of darkness
Blinded by the face of hell
I got to know this rage
We're living in a rage of fire
Drowing by the winds of change
No one has the right to come and take my rage
Dancing on the edge of darkness
Blinded by the face of hell
I got to know this rage
Oh so well
Oh so well
Let me loose
Set me free
No no no
Rage...
Rage...
WORLD'S GOT ME DOWN!
(Living in the rage of fire...fire...
Ah, tell 'em about it darlin'
Here we go
She's a waitress at her corner
Always dancin' nine-to-five
Well, she ain't no supermodel
But I'm here to tell you, she's fine
She's so fine, Johnny
She's like the classic girl next door
There's somethin' 'bout her walk
There's somethin' that goes off inside
Each time she starts to talk
Plain Jane
Oh, I love her name
She drives me insane
She's my Plain Jane
She always gets my business
I can't wait to ring her bell
(Ah, I bet you can't Donnie)
She puts a quarter in the jukebox
Says she don't kiss an' tell
(Is that right, brother)
The way she wears that dress
It's time that I confess
The music starts an' my heart stops
An' I become a mess
Plain Jane
Oh, I love her name
She drives me insane
She's my Plain Jane
Nothin' fancy
She's just got everything
She's so addicting, she's so amazing
Can't think of anything
Whoa, talk to me, Plain Jane
Whoa, yeah, come on
Plain Jane
Oh, I love her name
She drives me insane
She's, she's my Plain Jane
Plain Jane
Oh, I love her name
She drives me insane
She said, "Just call me Plain Jane"
Plain Jane
She's my Plain Jane
She's my Plain Jane
She's my Plain Jane
Whoa, she's my Plain Jane
Ooh!
Wind spins like the devil
Wraps around your home
Tears you from the roots out
Throws you like a stone
Well it...
May not be the first time
May not be the last
Standing in the ruins
A picture of our times
Searching through the rubble
For pieces of our lives
Well our...
Spirit won't be broken
Just take a look around
Take a look around
Come Hell or come high water
We'll stand together in the rain
Oklahoma
Where we don't forget our brothers and you won't forget
the name...
Oklahoma
Every last survivor
Seen across this land
Miracles can happen
If you leave it in God's hands
Well
Either I know heroes...
Or there's people doing what they can
Oh what they can
Come Hell or come high water
We'll stand together in the rain
Oklahoma (Oklahoma)
Where we don't forget our brothers and you won't forget
the name
Oklahoma
I'VE GOT TO BELIEVE!
I'VE GOT TO BELIEVE!
Bombs exploding when that rain will never change our ways!
Wind spins like the devil
Wraps around your home
Tears you from the roots out
But it'll always be our home
Come Hell or come high water
We'll stand together in the rain
Oklahoma (Oklahoma)
Where we don't forget our brothers and you won't forget
the name
Oklahoma (Oklahoma)
Come Hell or come high water
We'll stand together in the rain
Where we don't forget our brothers and you won't forget
the name
Oklahoma
Oklahoma
Oklahoma
(Oklahoma)
Where the wind spins like a devil
And it throws you like a stone
Oklahoma
Where our spirits won't be broken
Oklahoma
I like to speak my mind
Say grace at supper time
I?m just a dot on the map
Ain?t scared to take a stand
For this little piece of land
Don?t make me take you out back
Tattoos, sweet tea, NASCAR Sunday
Hard hat, head back to work on Monday
My kind of country
Little League, bass boats and good clean fun
That?s my kind of country
Roots run deep as they come
In my kind of country
I?m from the old school
Live by the golden rule
Ain?t no strangers around here
I like the simple life
Sit a spell, have a bite
Honey, get that man a beer
Cornbread, collard greens, mama?s fried chicken
Blue jeans, work boots, I'm still kicking
My kind of country
Football, four-wheeling, good clean fun
That?s my kind of country
Roots run deep as they come
In my kind of country, yeah, that's my kind of country
We got Johnny Cash, Back in Black, Southern rock ?n' roll
.38, Skynyrd, turn up that radio
My kind of country
Camouflage, hunting dogs, good clean fun
That?s my kind of country
Roots run deep as they come
My kind of country
Backyard barbecue, get you some
That?s my kind of country
Roots run deep as they come
In my kind of country
Pick up trucks and dirt roads
Ah, the fourth of July, salute the flag
Yeah, my kind of country
You get high everyday
Chisled out of the marked man on your grave
Throwing blood, you're half dead
If you don't hear those voices, they're gonna get you yet
You don't care, man what you do
Devil's eyes on you
It's got your mind and won't let go
It won't be long before you're beggin' him for your soul
You know it's going down
And'll hit you low
No matter how much you have
You can't get enough
You don't care, man what you do
Devil's eyes on you
(You're only livin' a lie)
You call this livin'?
(You're only livin' a lie)
You better stop before you die
(You're only livin' a lie)
Just keep livin' a lie
The choice is yours
Talk is cheap
You better face up to the facts man you're in to deep
You gotta shake it loose, get yourself free
Better pray to the Lord man
Get on your knees
But you don't care
Man, what you do
The Devil's eyes on you
(You're only livin' a lie)
You call this livin'?
(You're only livin' a lie)
You better stop before you die
(You're only livin' a lie)
Just keep livin' a lie
Don't you be a statistic
Don't you lie before the man
When you've got a child that wants to love you
Get that monkey off your back
I know the pain of your denial
Is like a rope around your mane
It's growing tighter
Yeah you're livin' a lie
Livin' a lie!
(You're only livin' a lie)
You call this livin'?
(You're only livin' a lie)
You better stop before you die
(You're only livin' a lie)
Just keep livin' a lie
(You're only livin a lie)
Ooh!
(You're only livin'...livin'...livin' a lie)
Man you're livin' a lie
(You just keep livin'... livin'... livin' a lie)
You better stop before you die
(You're only livin'...livin'...livin' a lie)
(You just keep livin'... livin'... livin' a lie)
Oh you're livin' a lie!
(You're only livin'...livin'...livin' a lie)
(You just keep livin'... livin'... livin' a lie)
Look back what do you see?
Heroes, down on their knees we've deserted
Somewhere we lost the flock
Now just look what we've got
Was it worth it?
So you're a movie star
A billion dollar deal
With all those fancy cars
Tell me how it feels
With the 90's rollin' in the wind
The 60's driftin' back again
How do you lose your new best friends?
Just give 'em some money
Truth adds up to how it sounds
How you look is all that counts
You'll get by on all accounts
It's not even funny
But is it for real?
That's good I have to admit
The more that you're full of _____
They will buy it
Drowing in politics
Who'd vote for any of this?
Put your head in
Danglin' from a rope
1 inch off the ground
Never been so low
It's such a long way down
Do it wrong until it's right
Whistle blind into the light
The T.V. screen's become our life
How's your reflection?
Take this world of all its dreams
Turn it all into what you need
Be careful 'cause the truth is just
An incurable infection
But tell me what is for real?
With the 90's rollin' in the wind
The 60's driftin' back again
How do you lose your new best friends?
Just give 'em some money
Truth adds up to how it sounds
How you look is all that counts
You'll get by on all accounts
It's not even funny
Oh it's not even funny
No it's not even funny
Tell me is it for real?
I got a spot in the country
I got a dog in the yard
I got a beat-up Chevy
Rust kinda rough but she starts
I got my granddaddy's shotgun
I can shoot pretty good
I got a nice little garden of weeds
Tucked back up in the woods
And I'm doin' all right, livin' my life
You got yours and I got mine
Yeah, it may not look like much to you
But it's simple and it suits me fine
Yeah, the sound of the rain and a lonely old train
Listen to that engine whine
'Cause I am what I am and I sleep good at night
And I'm doin' alright
I got a front porch for pickin'
I got a national guitar
I got some lightnin' for sippin'
I've had about a jar
I got a pretty old lady
She's good at stretchin' a dime
In this little corner a-heaven mister
We have a helluva time
And I'm doin' all right, livin' my life
You got yours and I got mine
Yeah, it may not look like much to you
But it's simple and it suits me fine
Yeah, the sound of the rain and a lonely old train
Listen to that engine whine
Yeah, I am what I am and I don't give a damn
And I'm doin' alright
All the rats in the city
Are livin' out of a box
They look down their nose, at my life, I suppose
And I just laugh my country ass off
Yeah, I'm doin' all right, livin' my life
You got yours and I got mine
Yeah, it may not look like much to you
But it's simple and it suits me fine
Yeah, the sound of the rain and a lonely old train
Listen to that engine whine
'Cause I am what I am and I sleep good at night
And I'm doin' alright
Mmm, yeah
I was a freckle-faced kid with a buck tooth grin
I was cuttin' her grass when she asked me in
Learned everything that I needed to learn
When I was sixteen, know what I mean
Whoo, ooh, ooh, grew up fast
Finally found somethin' I was really good at
When it comes to love
I know what I'm talkin' about
Hey, I know my history, but good lovin' gets me
It ain't no mystery, just kiss me, kiss me, baby
I never learned my lesson, I'm pretty good at guessin'
I been down that road a time or two or three, I know my history
Come a little closer, let me show you what it's all about
Oh, I know my history, baby
You can second guess me all night long
Make yourself believe that it's all wrong
Sooner or later, girl
You're gonna see, you can trust me
Once again there, whoo, ooh, ooh, step into school
Let me show you a thing or two
When it comes to love
I know what I'm talkin' about
I know my history, but good lovin' gets me
It ain't no mystery, just kiss me, kiss me, baby
I never learned my lesson, I'm pretty good at guessin'
I been down that road a time or two or three, I know my history
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow, come along girl
Got his own road on a right cool world
Take my hand, it's just you an' me
Tonight's the night we're makin' history
A little, little, little history
Whoo, ooh, ooh
Oh, I know my history, yeah, good lovin' gets me
It ain't no mystery, just kiss me
(Kiss me)
Come a little closer, let me show you what it's all about
Well, granddaddy was a hillbilly scholar, blue collar of a man
He came from the school where you didn't need nothin'
If you couldn't make it with your own two hands
He was backwoods, backwards, used words like
No sir, yes, ma'am, by God, be darned
Hell yeah, I'm American
And all the years he walked this earth, I swear all he did was work
He said, "The Devil dreams on an idle horse, so you listen to me squirt"
Don't get too high on a bottle
And get right with the man
Fight your fights, find a grace
And all the things that you can change
And help somebody if you can
Now granny said, "Sonny, stick to your guns
If you believe in something, no matter what
'Cause it's better to be hated for who you are
Than be loved for who you're not"
She was five feet of concrete
New York born an' raised on a slick city street
She'd cold-stare you down, stand her ground
Still kickin' and screamin' at 93
I remember just how frail she looked in that hospital bed
Takin' her last few breaths of life, smilin' as she said
"Don't get too high on a bottle
Just a little sip every now and then
Fight your fights, find a grace
And all the things that you can change
And help somebody if you can
And get right with the man"
C'mon now, yeah
I never let a cowboy make the coffee
Yeah, that's what granny always said to my granddad
And he'd say, "Never tell a joke that ain't that funny more than once
"And if you wanna hear God laugh, tell him your plans"
Don't get too high on a bottle
Get right with the man, son
Fight your fights, find a grace
And all the things that you can change
And help somebody if you can
And get right with the man
Yeah
(Get too high)
(Help somebody if you can)
Woah I
I've been searching all my life
It's about time
That I found my lucky star
Gonna fly me
To the heart of an angel
Where I'll spend the rest of my life
Until Eternity
(Never to look down)
(My feet will never touch the ground)
Holy is the Heart of an Angel
She's closer now
Than I've ever felt before
Cloud 9
Should I jump or should fall?
Fly me
To the heart of an angel
Where I'll spend the rest of my life
Until Eternity
(Never to look down)
(My feet will never touch the ground)
Holy is the Heart of an Angel
Fly me to the heart of an Angel
Where I know Heaven's just a touch away
Destiny
Is just like walking on the moon
She breathes
It means the winds are changing soon
Gonna fly me
To the heart of an angel
Where I'll spend the rest of my life
Until Eternity
(Never to look down)
(My feet will never touch the ground)
Holy is the Heart
Fly me
To the heart of an angel
Where I can spend the rest of my life
Until Eternity
(Never to look down)
(My feet will never touch the ground)
Holy is the Heart of an Angel
My feet will never touch the ground
Holy is the heart...
Out on the road 200 days a year
Blowin' smoke and grindin' gears
My bones are achin' from this northern cold
Baby's cryin' on the telephone
Momma says I've been gone too long
This whiskey I've been drinkin' along is sure gettin' old
This old highway don't seem to end
Countin' the days 'til I'm home again
Bus wheels turnin' from town to town
I wish I could set this circus down
I've had enough, I'm punchin' out
'Cause this whole thing is headed south, headed south
One more night at the 8 Days Inn
I need to hold my baby again
These four damn walls are closin' in on me
Unpackin' my bags just to pack 'em again
Don't want you to see the shape I'm in
I could sure use some shade from a live oak tree
This old highway don't seem to end
Countin' the days until I'm home again
Bus wheels turnin' from town to town
I wish I could set this circus down
I've had enough, I'm punchin' out
'Cause this old boy is headed south
The Sewanee River, The Mason Dixon
Her pretty face are the things I'm missin'
I'm headed south, headed south
This old highway's comin' to an end
Today's the day I'm comin' home again
Bus wheels comin' right to my town
I just set this circus down
I've had enough, I'm punchin' out
I'm comin' home, I'm headed south
Headed south, I'm headed south
I'm headed, I'm headed south
Talk to me, boys
I'm blowin' smoke, grindin' gears
Man, my bones are achin', I'm headed south
Ooh, I'm headed south, I'm headed south
Oh, yes sir
I don't care if it comes in a bottle
I don't care if it comes in a can
I don't care if it's stirred or shaken
Man, could you give me one for both hands?
If it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
If it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
Sign on the wall said, 'No Dancin' On The Tables'
She never lets the rules get in her way, no she don't
She got the whole joint jumpin' and goin' crazy
She grabbed my hand and danced me right outta the place
Out of the place
If it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
If it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
Might be one of those fine French wines
Might be some good ol' down home brew
Long as we get to have a good time
Most times anything will do
If it goes down easy
Yeah, it makes you feel good
If it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
Oh, that sound is sweet to me man
Sounds good
Listen here now
There are things in life that just keep gettin' better
Oh, yeah, I said no, but I guess maybe I meant yes
Hey, she insisted, so I just had to let her
When it's that smooth who really cares what anybody says, I don't
So if it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
It makes you feel good
If it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
If it goes down easy
(Keep it comin' baby, fill up my glass)
It makes you feel good
(It's kickin' in and I like it like that)
If it goes down easy
(Maybe we shouldn't, maybe we should)
It makes you feel good
(All I know is it makes you feel good)
If it goes down easy
(It makes you feel good)
It makes you feel good
If it goes down easy
It makes you feel good
(Oh, keep it comin' now)
If it goes down easy
(Keep it comin' baby, fill up my glass)
It makes you feel good
(It's kickin' in and I like it like that)
If it goes down easy
(Maybe we shouldn't, maybe we should)
Trouble and pain are one and the same
When luck runs out, well it's all about, yeah
When hard times are hard at the end of the day, yeah
You'll get what you got comin'
There's a whole lotta hope in all their gold
What looks like it is could be a friend, yeah
Out of all the lessons we learned to clear the way, yeah
You get what you got comin'
You'll get back what you give
Maybe that's the only way to live
What goes round, now and then
Comes again
(It comes again)
You get what you got comin'
Ah yeah
What you got comin'
What color you like and what does it mean
It's all or nothin', there ain't no in between, no
(There ain't no in between, no)
Leave nothin' to chance 'cause there comes a day, yeah
You'll get what you got comin'
(You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it)
You'll get back what you give
Baby, that's the only way to live
What goes round, now and then
Comes again, oh yeah
You'll get back what you give
Maybe that's the only way to, only way to
What goes round, now and then
It comes again
(It comes again)
You'll get what you got
You'll get what you got
Get what you got comin'
Baby get what you got comin'
(Get what you got, get what you got)
What you got comin'
(Get what you got)
You get what you got comin'
(Get what you got)
No no no
(Get what you got)
You get what you got comin'
See him ridin' around with his pickup truck
And a rebel flag in the back
He's got a wad of chew stuck in his mouth
And a shotgun in the rack
He's gonna head on down to the Forrest Inn
Where's gonna pick another fight
Like he did last week and the week before
And like he does every Saturday night
'Cause he's downright and dangerous
Downright and dangerous
So I'm telling you son
You better watch your back
'Cause the man don't cut no slack
He's downright and dangerous
He's got a woman at home tired of waiting alone
She's got her own little plan of attack
She's doing 75 down Rodeo in a redneck Cadillac
When she gets into town she's gonna run him down
'Cause he ain't that tough to her
When she walks through the door
They're gonna hit the floor and the rest will be
'Cause she's downright and dangerous
Downright and dangerous
So I'm telling you son
You better watch your back
'Cause the girl don't cut no slack
She's downright and dangerous
Downright and dangerous
Dangerous
Someone grab the phone dial 9-1-1
'Cause they're tearing up the place
I think she's gotta gun everybody run
Get down and cover your face
'Cause they're downright and dangerous
Downright and dangerous
So I'm telling you son you better watch your mouth
Some people think that a lie ain't a lie
If you find enough fools to believe it
My daddy said that the truth is the truth
And there just ain't no space in between it
We're all searchin'
For something that is real
Once you have found it
Don't look back, hold on to what you feel
Can't say it loud enough
Can't say it proud enough
Can't feel it deep enough
Whatever you believe
Whatever you believe
I see the eyes of a child bearing fire
In the photo right next to my window
I see the shadow of a man at my side
Feel his spirit each time the wind blows
Follow your heart
Wherever it may lead
Remember who you are
Don't let no one take away your dreams
Can't say it loud enough
Can't say it proud enough
Can't feel it deep enough
Whatever you believe
Whatever you believe
Stand up and shout it out
Believe it without a doubt
Stand to your heart and know that you are
Whatever you believe
Whatever you believe
Whatever you believe
You never know the feeling
No you gotta take the chance
Don't you know the power's in your hands
Some people think that a lie ain't a lie
If you find enough fools to believe it
My daddy said that the truth is the truth
And there just ain't no space in between it
Can't say it loud enough
Can't say it proud enough
Can't feel it deep enough
Whatever you believe
Whatever you believe
Stand up and shout it out
Believe it without a doubt
Stand to your heart and know that you are
Whatever you believe
Whatever you believe
Whatever you believe
We might disagree
Sometimes it's just you
Sometimes it's just me
We can't break the chain
So we must bare each other's pain
It's the livin', the dyin'
The life and the cryin'
That brings us together again
Woah Again
Brother to Brother
It's time that we all understand that we are
Brother to Brother
So why must we make it so hard?
There will always be more
To bring us together than to ever
Keep us apart
As long as we stand
Brother to Brother
There's a world breaking down
And God only knows how long it will go round
If love don't survive
There'll be nothing left here
To keep us alive
Don't take it for granted
The seed has been planted
To heal all the hurting inside
Brother to Brother
It's time that we all understand that we are
Brother to Brother
So why must we make it so hard?
There will always be more
To bring us together than to ever
Keep us apart
As long as we stand
Brother to Brother
The road's so long and life's so short
For us to lose our way
We've come this far
There is no other way
Brother to Brother
Brother to Brother
It's time that we all understand that we are
Brother to Brother
So why must we make it so hard?
Brother to Brother
It's time that we all understand that we are
Brother to Brother
So why must we make it so hard?
There will always be more
To bring us together than to ever
Keep us apart
As long as we stand
Brother to Brother
The Livin', The Dyin'
The Life and the Cryin'
Don't take it for granted
The seed has been planted
Brother to Brother
You are my brother
Brother to Brother
You will always be my brother
Brother to Brother
In the part of town
You don't wanna be found
Everybody knows better when the sun goes down
As the fog rolls in
You never know where you've been
Cross that line to another world
Black Bottom Road
There's only one way in and one way out you know
Black Bottom Road
Well this black is cold and black is hell
You know you're there when you smell that smell
It goes on and on and on
Black Bottom Road
Once you step outside
You hardly know you're alive
Welcome to the devil's dance, Lord you've made his day
Along side of the road
Oh it's a river that flows
It's full of rocks and bones and blood
And now your fears
And it goes nowhere, there ain't no size
Never see anybody pass by
Better hold on with all your life
All your life

Black Bottom Road
Well this black is cold and dark is hell
You know you're there when you smell that smell
Black Bottom Road
Oh, Goes on and on!
Black Bottom Road
'Cause time is hell
Black Bottom Road
Black Bottom Road
I've seen the devil, stared him straight in the eyes
Danced in his fire on my darkest nights
Laid in his garden and I drank his wine
Slept with temptation to laugh at salvation
It almost saved me alive
Oh, I've been there, done that, had my thrill ain't goin' back again
I was the life of every party, it nearly did me in
I was the baddest man that you've ever seen
Lord, I wrote the book on sin, yeah, I've been down that road
I ain't goin' back again
I caused more damage than a hurricane
I broke your heart and didn't feel a thing
Then walked away and cursed your name in vain
But with you as my witness, you gave me forgiveness
Now I've got a second chance
Oh, I've been there, done that, had my thrill ain't goin' back again
I was the life of every party, it nearly did me in
I was the baddest man that you've ever seen
Lord, I wrote the book on sin, yeah, I've been down that road
He's knockin' at my door
Ain't walkin' round here no more
Been there, done that
Ain't goin' back again, no
I was the baddest mother you've ever seen
Lord, I wrote the book on sin
Been there, done that, ain't goin' back again
I was the life of every party, it nearly did me in
I was the baddest man that you've ever seen
Lord, I wrote the book on sin, yeah, I've been down that road
I ain't goin' back again, oh no, oh
Been there, done that
(I was the life of the party, yeah)
(Been there, done that)
Been there, done that
Been there, done that
Been there, done that
Woo!
Let me tell ya baby!
You've got me in a mood
So take me to your school
Say bye-bye to the rules
Bye-bye baby
Your body's givin' me
Too much for my eyes to see
I want a taste of what I need
So baby let's take the night
Somewhere it feels so right
Ain't no other color that will do
Baby get blue

(Get blue)

In a way I can't forget
So baby let's take the night
Somewhere it feels so right

If I don't see tomorrow
What would be left to say
So many precious moments
Got lost along the way
If love is all that matters
It's all we leave behind
Hold on to each other
While we still have time
And even though its raining
My heart is safe and dry
I can feel it rushing through me
It's the miracle of life
Ain't it good to be alive
(It's good to be alive)
Alive
I wanna see the sun rise
I wanna feel the storm
I wanna wrap myself around life
Like a baby being born
'Cause love is all that matters
It's all we leave behind
Hold on to each other
And pray for time
And even though its raining
My heart is safe and dry
I can feel it rushing through me
It's the miracle of life
Ain't it good to be alive
(I'm holding a picture)
Of the one's I love
(Receiving a message)
From heaven above
(Telling me that I've got time)
To cherish it all
BE STRONG
HOLD ON
So good...
Ain't it good to be alive
So good
Ain't it good to be
Good to be alive
Even though its raining
My heart is safe and dry
I can feel it rushing through me
It's the miracle of life
Ain't it good to be alive
Even though its raining...
I can feel it rushing through me
It's the miracle of life
Ain't it good to be alive
(To be alive...so good)
Oh Alive
(So good...to be alive)
(To be alive...so good)
Oh Alive
(So good...to be alive)
Ain't it good to be alive
Alive...Alive...Alive....
If I don't see tommorow
He's got a mountain of bills, he's got dirt on his hands
There's been three generations that's been workin' the land
Here's his granddaddy's ghost sayin'
?Son, everyone gotta face the long hard truth?
And it might be up to you to do
The hardest thing you'll ever have to do
Holdin' on, lettin' go, right or wrong, it's hard to know
You do your best and leave the rest
To chance, fate, God or grace
Whatever gets you through
She can't stand the fear in her little boy's eyes
Dad has come home actin' crazy too many times
My mamma's on the telephone line saying
?Child, sometimes you gotta think about mournin' you?
And you might be forced to chose
The hardest thing you'll ever have to do
Holdin' on, lettin' go, right or wrong, it's hard to know
You do your best, leave the rest
To chance, fate, God or grace
Whatever gets you through, whatever gets you through
Now everybody's gonna find themselves a fork in the road
No clear direction, wondering which way to go
And it hurts like hell, your conscience burns
Any way you turn you lose
Sometimes just getting through might be
The hardest thing you'll ever have to do
Holdin' on, lettin' go, right or wrong, it's hard to know
You do your best and leave the rest
To chance, fate, God or grace
Whatever gets you through, whatever gets you through, yeah
The hardest thing
(The hardest thing, the hardest thing)
It might be your hardest thing to do, yeah
(The hardest thing, the hardest thing)
The hardest thing, the hardest thing
The hardest thing, the hardest thing
(You just might face your own truth)
Written by Tom Hambridge, Bob Johnson and Donnie Van Zant
I was raised on the west side shanty town.
I didn't get up till the sun went down.
When your back's against the wall, you better get tough,
An' learn real quick how to swing an' duck.'
I was born in the sweet Florida sunshine,
Good lookin' women, back woods an' moonshine.
Learned more about life on the streets than in the school.
Sweet Mama didn't raise no fool,.
That's right.
Some folks cheat 'n some folks lie,
But I can judge a man by the look in his eye.
Don't hand me jack, try to call it cool.
I know the difference 'tween sh*t an' shiner.
I was born in the sweet Florida sunshine,
Good lookin' women, back woods an' moonshine.
Learned more about life on the streets than in the school.
Sweet Mama didn't raise no fool.
Instrumental Break.
Talkin' about Mama,
Oh sweet Mama.
Mama was no angel, but she taught me right from wrong.
She knew ev'ry single word, an' ev'ry note, and ev'ry song.
She taught me how to gamble and how to roll a dice.
"If it makes you feel good, do a darn thing twice."
I was born in the sweet Florida sunshine,
Good lookin' women, back woods an' moonshine.
Learned more about life on the streets than in the school.

Learned more about life on the streets than in the school.
My sweet Mama didn't raise no fool.
Yeeow!
Talkin' about:
(My sweet Mama,)
(Mama didn't raise no fool.)
Na, na, na.
(Talkin' about my sweet Mama,
(Mama didn't raise no fool.)
That's my sweet Mama.
(Talkin' about my sweet Mama,

Friend
Since I can remember when
Seems like forever
We've been together
Hey how long has it been?
Friend
I hope you know that you're my hero
Never once thought of yourself
Always there to help
Man you're something else
In the dark you were the light
When the truth was hard to find
When I needed someone to call me on it
You called me on it everytime
Through all the good through all the bad
I knew you always had my back
The best part of being who I am
Is that I get to call you...
Friend
Some got 'em by the hundreds
But when that thunder comes a rumblin'
We're off and runnin'
Makes me glad that I got
GOOD
Friend
God knows that you've had your moments too
Sometimes I wonder if you knew
How it meant the world to me
To get to be a friend to you
And when I stumble and I slip
You never let me quit
Always knew what to say, what I needed to hear, when I needed to hear it
Through all the good through all the bad
I knew you always had my back
The best part of being who I am
Is that I get to call you...
My Old Friend
Yeah
In the dark you were the light
When the truth was hard to find
When I needed someone to call me on it
You called me on it everytime
Through all the good through all the bad
I knew you always had my back
The best part of being who I am
Is that I get to call you..
Friend
When I look back on this crazy life
At least I know I got one thing right
If all I ever get to do
Is get to call you...
My Friend
Grandpa used to keep his money
Buried three foot deep in mason jars
He forgot more times than not
Where he left it stashed out in the yard
He told us before he died
?Boys, don?t do what I did
Save enough to get you by
And go spend all the rest?
It?s only money, that?s all it is
Harder to make it than it is to spend
Can?t take it with ya, so don?t let it get ya
It?s only money, yeah
The waiter said, ?Our featured wine
Tonight?s a California Merlot
May I suggest the calamari
Oysters or the escargot??
She looked at me and smiled
And in those blue eyes I got lost
I said bring us one of each of them
I don?t care what it costs
It?s only money, that?s all it is
Harder to make it than it is to spend
Can?t take it with ya, so don?t let it get ya
It?s only money, oh, it?s only money
She found that diamond bracelet
In the window of a jewelry store downtown, oh, no
She said I like the way it sparkles
As she kissed me and I pulled my wallet out, yes, I did
If it makes her happy
I don?t care how much they charge
I still got a closet full of grandpa?s mason jars
It?s only money, that?s all it is
Harder to make it than it is to spend
Can?t take it with ya, so don?t let it get ya
It?s only money
Oh, it?s only money, that?s all it is
Harder to make it than it is to spend
Can?t take it with ya, so don?t let it get ya
It?s only money, money, money, money
Oh, it?s only money
It?s only money
It?s only money
I see it in your face, I know you're workin' hard
Kids screamin', phone ringin' twenty-five hours a day
Doin' what you do
You drive the kids to school, tryin' to go to work
Car stop, green light, here you go again
Hey, it's all about you
So hold on, baby, I'm comin' home
I've got a little somethin' to turn you on
I'll turn the lights down low and set a little table for two
Tonight it's all about you
You make our house a home, make that [Incomprehensible]
Sales on, coupons, baby, I can't believe
All the things that you do
I know that I've been blessed to have you in my life
I trust your love and when I give thanks
Yeah, it's all about you
So hold on, baby, I'm comin' home
I've got a little somethin' to turn you on
I'll turn the lights down low and set a little table for two
Tonight it's all about you
You know it's not about me
Baby, you see it's all about you
So hold on, baby, I'm comin' home
I've got a little somethin', girl, to turn you on
I'll turn the lights down low and set a little table for two
Oh, just hold on, baby, I'm comin' home
I've got a little somethin', girl, to turn you on
I'll turn the lights down low and set a little table for two
Tonight it's all about you
Baby, tonight it's all about you
Oh baby, tonight it's all about you
Yeah girl, it's just me and you
She tied me up with conversation
I never shoulda let her in
I guess I must've been too friendly
Now she's out to do me in
Do me in
Is it all Imagination?
Yeah it's all imagination
I hear the rain upon my window
I see the writin' on the wall
I found a letter on my pillow
How did it get there afterall
Afterall?
Is it all Imagination?
Well it's all imagination
Yeah!
What does she really want from me?
This ain't love, this ain't real
Don't need this kind of company
This could never be
Imagination!
Is it all Imagination?
Well it's all imagination
Is it all?
Well it's all
Is it all Imagination?
Imagination?
She tied me up with conversation
Ah Yeah!
You know I should've never let her in...
She tied me up...
Oh...
Imagination
Well Granddaddy was a hillbilly, skyler blue collar of a man
He came from the school where you didn't need nothing
if you could Make it with your own two hands
He was backwoods, backwards, used words like no sir, yes m'am,
by God be darned, hell yeah I'm American!
And all the years he walked this Earth, I swear all he did was work
He said the devil dreams on an idle horse, so you listen to me squirt!
Don't get too high on the bottle And get right with the Man
Fight your fights, find the grace in all the things that you can't change
And help somebody, if you can
Now Granny said son, I'd stick to your gun and said,
if you believe in something no matter what
Cause its better to be hated for who you are than beloved for who you're not
She was 5 feet of concrete, New York born and raised on the slick city street
She'd cold stare you down, stand her ground, still kickin' and screamin' at 93
I remember just how frail she looked in that hospital bed,
taking her last few breaths of life, smilin' as she said
Don't get too high on the bottle, just a little sip every now and then
Fight your fights, find the grace, in all the things that you can't change
And help somebody if you can
And get right with the Man
I never let a cowboy make the coffee
Yeah, that's what granny always said to my Granddad
And he'd say, never tell a joke thatain't that funny more than once
And if you wanna hear God laugh, tell him your plans
Don't get too high on the bottle
Get right with the Man, son
Fight your fights, find the grace in all the things that you can't change
And help somebody if you can
When I look at you these days
I think of all we've been through
You and I are one and the same
And I thank God for you
I remember the youth and the days gone by
And it hurts me to see the age in your eyes
Oh, I wish I could turn back the hands of time
And do it all over again
My friend, oh, my friend
You were always here for me
And I'll be there for you
You taught me how to live my life
You're the strength that pulls me through
I remember the youth and the days gone by
And it hurts me to see the age in your eyes
Oh, I wish I could turn back the hands of time
And do it all over again
My friend
So many times you were tough on me
I just didn't understand
Looking back, I realize that it made me a better man
Oh, my friend
I remember the youth and the days gone by
And it hurts me to see the age in your eyes
Oh, I wish I could turn back the hands of time
And do it all over again, and do it all over again
My friend
Oh, you'll always be my friend
Now I understand
Oh, my friend
Made me a better man
Oh, my friend
Oh, you'll always be my friend
Made me a better man
Now I understand
Look into the mirror
Are you scared of what you see?
Tell me how can you stand yourself
When you've been lyin' and cheatin' me?
You took the last of all my money
Took the shirt right off my back
The one thing I know you never had
Well it's alright, alright
You got the best of me
You know it's alright, alright
You're the devil's company
Well it's alright, alright
Done everything I can
No way you'll ever understand
AT LEAST I'M FREE
Oh, at least I'm free
There's all kinds of people
Who'll do their best to eat you up
I thought that you were different
Guess I hadn't thought enough
I hope your dreams get stolen
And those you thought were your "best friends"
Turn around you lose your faith again
Well it's alright, alright
You got the best of me
You know it's alright, alright
You're the devil's company
Well it's alright, alright
Done everything I can
No way you'll ever understand
AT LEAST I'M FREE
At least I'm free
At least I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
So free
Well it's alright, alright
You got the best of me
You know it's alright, alright
You're the devil's company
Well it's alright, alright
Done everything I can
No way you'll ever understand
Well it's alright (right, right)
Well it's alright, alright
Done everything I can
No way you'll ever understand
AT LEAST I'M FREE
I'm so free!
(I'm so free...yeah)
At least I'm free
At least I'm free baby
I don't have to go back no more!
