U.S. Route 45 is a north–south United States highway. US 45 is a border-to-border route, from Lake Superior to the Gulf of Mexico. A sign at the highway's northern terminus notes the total distance as 1,300 miles (2,100 km).
US 45 is notable for incorporating, in its maiden alignment, the first paved road in the South, a 49-mile segment in Lee County, Mississippi. Let to contract in July 1914, the concrete highway opened on November 15, 1915.
As of 2006, the highway's northern terminus is in Ontonagon, Michigan, at the corner of Ontonagon and River Streets, a few blocks from Lake Superior. M-64 formerly terminated there as well until its rerouting in October 2006 to use the newly built Ontonagon River Bridge. Its southern terminus is in Mobile, Alabama, at an intersection with U.S. Route 98.
U.S. 45 is co-routed with unsigned State Route 17 between Mobile and Vinegar Bend in Washington County, Alabama. From Vinegar Bend until the Mississippi state line, U.S. 45 is paired with unsigned Alabama State Route 57.
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
