U.S. Route 17 or U.S. Highway 17 (abbreviation U.S. 17, US 17, also known as the Coastal Highway) is a north–south United States highway. The highway spans the southeastern United States and is close to the Atlantic Coast for much of its length. The highway's southern terminus is at Punta Gorda, Florida, at an intersection with U.S. Route 41. Traveling north, US 17 joins up with US 50 in Paris, Virginia, and the northern terminus of US 17 is in downtown Winchester, Virginia. This is also the point at which the portion of US 50 called the Northwestern Turnpike begins.
Though U.S. Route 1 is generally considered to be the highway that runs alongside Interstate 95, US 17 runs parallel to I-95 for much of its extent, and even shares the same route for short spans in Fredericksburg and Ridgeland.
US 17 begins in downtown Punta Gorda, Florida, at US 41 (Cross Street), just to the west of Tamiami Trail. After a brief jog east, it runs roughly north along the Peace River, through Arcadia, Zolfo Springs (where it crosses the Peace River), and Wauchula. At Fort Meade, it joins with US 98, which follows it northward (westward on US 98) until Bartow. While US 98 goes northwest, US 17 goes northeast.
Randal Howard "Rand" Paul (born January 7, 1963) is the junior United States Senator for Kentucky. He is a member of the Republican Party. A member of the Tea Party movement, he describes himself as a "constitutional conservative" and a libertarian. He is the son of Republican Congressman and 2012 Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul of Texas and had never previously held political office. Paul first received national attention in 2008 when making political speeches on behalf of his father. Rand Paul is the first United States Senator in history to serve alongside a parent in the United States House of Representatives.
A graduate of the Duke University School of Medicine, Paul has been a practicing ophthalmologist in Bowling Green, Kentucky, since 1993, and established his own clinic in December 2007. In 1994, he founded Kentucky Taxpayers United, of which he is still the chairman.
In 2010, Paul ran as the Republican candidate for the United States Senate seat being vacated by retiring Senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky and defeated Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway. As a supporter of the Tea Party movement, Paul has been vocal in advocating for term limits, a balanced budget amendment, and the Read the Bills Act, in addition to the widespread reduction of federal spending and taxation. He has gained prominence for his independent positions on many political issues, often clashing with both Republicans and Democrats.
My daddy came a-marchin'
Over the hill at dawn
Had to make that wage, man
That's how we got along
My daddy's life was workin'
Workin' all day long
Put food on the table
And the children sang a song
Yes, the children sang a song
My granddad's name was Pulpwood
Wore a coat of green
Took a wife in '31
Drove the big machine
My daddy load the lumber
Put it on the truck
I used to see him walkin' home
On U.S. 41
That's right, U.S. 41
Well, all my life's been workin'
Out the door and gone
Got to make that overtime
Keep us movin' on
I need a drink of water
Get out of the sun
Burnin' up to make that wage
That's right, U.S. 41
The boss man owns the business
Keeps it goin' strong
Blowin' like a hurricane
And work like nothing wrong
We got to keep on movin'
'Til the bell gone ring
Fill her up with kerosene
And let that lady sing
Whoa, now let that lady sing
His given name was Lucky
His wife's name, Annie Brown
Ran outside the law
And they chased him right on down
Lucky faced the lawman
The captain drew his gun
They put him with a sling blade
On U.S. 41
That's right, U.S. 41
Yeah, that's right
On U.S. 41
My daddy came a-marchin'
Over the hill at dawn
Alfonse Capone
Godfather on a throne
A king of crime
A product of his time
A pimp before puberty
A menace to society
Bootlegging and bribery
Outrageous brutality
Prostitution and gambling
The Chicago mobster
Scarface was a monster
He got life in jail
With no set bail
Beat the rock
AZ 85
Alone in a cell
A self inflicted hell
Refusal of medicine
The nails for his coffin
In a Florida sun
Alfonse's life was done
He was a king of crime
Now he's done his time
AZ 85
Beat the rock
All my loves are hidden in pieces
All my loves are within a wild night
All my loves are hidden in pieces
All my loves are within a wild night
All my loves are hidden in pieces
All my loves are within a wild night
All my loves are hidden in pieces
All my loves are within a wild night
If they are still up high
We'll throw them to the sea
If they are still on high
We'll throw them to the sea
If they are still up high
We'll throw them to the sea
Watch the murder of the wilds
To the music of the deep
Wild night, wild night
All my loves are hidden in pieces
All my loves are within a wild night
All my loves are hidden in pieces
All my loves are within a wild night
If they are still up high
We'll throw them to the sea
If they are still on high
We'll throw them to the sea
If they are still up high
We'll throw them to the sea
Watch the murder of the wilds
To the music of the deep
Wild night, wild night
Within a wild night
Wild night, wild night
Wild night, wild night
Wild night, wild night
Wild night, wild night
Am I the victim?
I woke up at the end of my rope today, but I’m fine.
I feel just fine.
On the inside I’m falling apart.
On the inside I’m falling apart.
Look away, don’t watch this happen to me.
I thought the hard times were changing.
Go away, just let this happen to me.
I know my struggles aren’t ending.
(Who else knows? Who else knows? Tell me who else
knows. Who else knows?)
(I’m not a troubled man. I’m not a troubled man. I’m
not. I’m not.)
They knew all this time.
Run like rats in maze.
Chasing, and chasing a walking nightmare.
Escape! Escape!
Escape from them, from myself.
Look away, don’t watch this happen to me.
I thought the hard times were changing.
Go away, just let this happen to me.
I know my struggles aren’t ending.
Who is 67?
Tell me how.
How do I escape?
(How do I escape?)
Am I a troubled man?
Don’t prescribe me a lost cause.
I am the victim.
Look away, don’t watch this happen to me.
I thought the hard times were changing.
Go away, just let this happen to me.
Verse One
Is there a place in your heart with a missing peace. Are you trying to get over but you can't win for losing. You try to figure it out. But you don't know how. So you struggle with doubt. Turn it over to JESUS. Whatever you need is all found in HIM.
Chorus
If you need the Faith to keep on believing. If you need the Hope to shine on your fears. If you need the Love that conquers anything. JESUS Is! If you need the Way to take you to HEAVEN. If you need the Truth to make things clear.
If you need the Life that changes everything. JESUS Is!
Verse Two
Move up a little higher and find your new beginning. Step out a little further into the joy of living. You've got to say, "I can do all things through CHRIST who gives me the strength". This you must pray. Turn it over to JESUS whatever you need is all found in HIM.
Bridge
JESUS is the blood that's flowing through your veins. Yes HE Is.
JESUS is the light that lights your way.
JESUS is the Faith to keep on believing. JESUS is the Hope to shine on your fears. JESUS is the Love that conquers anything.
I'm gonna sing now
Even though my voice is gone
I'm gonna claim now
Even though my life is down
Izembenembede (come back)
What about the good things
Since the time I met that bomb
What about my life Since you found
Yourself To be So strong
So nice, so beautiful
