Kerry Lois Smith (29 March 1953 – 20 April 2011) was a New Zealand actor and broadcaster. She was a presenter on the radio station The Breeze from 2006 to 2011. She was also a presenter for Radio Pacific and Radio Live. On television she was known for her role as "Magda" in the 1980s drama series Gloss. She also worked as a television announcer and weather presenter, and was the host of home improvement show Changing Rooms. Smith died following a battle with melanoma.
Schapelle Leigh Corby (born 10 July 1977) is an Australian woman convicted of drug smuggling who is imprisoned in Indonesia.
Corby is serving a 20-year sentence (from which she has received 21 and a half months' remission) for the importation of 4.2 kg (9.3 lb) of cannabis into Bali, Indonesia. She was convicted and sentenced in Bali on 27 May 2005 by the Denpasar (Indonesia) District Court and currently serves her sentence in Kerobokan Prison, Bali. On appeal, her conviction and sentence were confirmed with finality by the Indonesian Supreme Court. Corby petitioned the President of Indonesia for clemency on the grounds of mental illness, and in May 2012, the President granted a five-year sentence reduction.
Corby has maintained from the time of her arrest that the drugs were planted in her body board bag and that she did not know about them. Her trial and conviction were a major focus of attention for the Australian media. Her due release date, with remissions, is currently 20 September 2017.
I fell in love at a glance
Should've known I'd never have a chance
To be with you in the long run
You have a plan I am not in
You're gonna move up north to live again
Whenever school is over
So I have to let you go
But before you leave me here
There's something you should know
When the sun goes down in Georgia
I'll be driftin' back in time
Wishin' love could've changed your mind
And when the moonlight shines through the pine trees
I'll get lost in memories
Dreaming you are here with me
Oh it's sad but true
I'm just your love-sick fool
So when the sun goes down in Georgia, oh
I'll be missin' you
I bet you never had a clue
But I'd do anything to be with you
I'd leave this place in a heartbeat
I'd move away from my sweet home
Just to be your faithful tag-along
I'd follow you forever
But if you're better left alone
I'll do my best to understand
Still my love will linger on
Cause when the sun goes down in Georgia
I'll be drifting back in time
Wishin' love could've changed your mind
And when the moonlight shines through the pine trees
I'll get lost in memories
Dreaming you are here with me
Oh it's sad but true
I'm just your love-sick fool
So when the sun goes down in Georgia, oh
I'll be missin' you
Oh it's sad but true
I'm just your love-sick fool
So when the sun goes down in Georgia
I waste away the afternoon
Feeling sorry for myself
Gotta thousand things I need to do
But no motivation left
All your letters scattered across my bed
Every I love you underlined in red lies remindin
Takin it one day at a time
Having her come having her go
Tryin to drink you off my mind
But I'm fallin apart one day at a time.
I called you up but no ones home
Guess your out there on the town,
And any other Thursday night
I'd be right beside you just pourin em down.
Circle of friends, hangin out at the city bar
Guess they all know now how you broke my heart
Said I'm takin it hard
Livin one day at a time
Having her come having her go
Tryin to drink you off my mind
But I'm fallin apart one day at a time.
Really thought that I was gonna make you happy
I'm such a fool, such a fool
I let you in but I guess you didn't like what you seen
Love is so cruel, love is cruel
I'm dyin one day at a time
Having her come having her go
Tryin to drink you off my mind
But I'm fallin apart one day at a time.
One day at a time
One day at a time
One day at a time
When I was only 17 couldn't wait for twenty one
I'd hang around on Clayton St in the bars there getting drunk
A baseball cap and a fake I'd would get me in the clubs
Then I would dance with the college girls and lie about who I was
Well, I'm premed here at UGA
Live on Milledge Avenue
I was raised over in Buckhead
I drive a BMW
I was breaking hearts
And taking names and numbers just for fun
Stealing kisses wishing I was twenty one
Well Thursdays came
And pocket change would quickly disappear
Upstairs at Lowry's Tavern
We'd pay a nickel for the beer
Shooting pool, smoking cigarettes
With a dizzy head and a grin
4 A.M. on a school night
Still hanging out with my friends
One hour sleep on a dirty coach
No shower off to school
Smelling just like a brewery
With a bad hangover too
The teachers all would hassle me
"Stay awake Pay Attention"
I was catching hell wishing I was twenty one
The youngest one of all my friends
I didn't act my age
Too cool for the football games and the homecoming parades
Now I look back and have to smile
Cause boy it was fun
Being seventeen wishing I was twenty one
Now I'm only twenty six
Feeling more like forty three
My hair lines disappearing
And I never get ID'ed
My clothes are out of fashion
No I'm not cool anymore
In the bed by ten o clock each night
And up at half past four
Still I go down
To that college town
When the Bulldogs play at home
I drink keg beer from a trash can
'Till the whole damn thing is gone
Then I look at all those college girls so innocent and young
I just check them out and say "Damn
Here we go again,
Around and around,
Oh it's a merry ride,
'Til we're back on the ground.
You dizzy up the child,
'Til the tickets are gone,
And it's time for the carnival,
To be moving on.
It carries you up,
Oh, it makes you feel alive,
It makes you laugh,
It makes you cry,
We fold the tents,
We take the carousel apart,
We roll away,
We roll away.
The sooner you can learn it never lasts,
The more you'll enjoy the carnival.
Don't hold you're breath,
Don't close your eyes,
Let go of the handlebars,
So your fingers can fly,
Seize the night,
And the autumn wind,
'Til we close the house of fun,
And leave town again.
Don't be afraid to be so easily amused,
It's a thrill we all could use,
And just like love,
It wears a candy apple coat that melts away,
We melt away.
And the sooner you can learn it never lasts,
The more you'll enjoy the carnival.
That's it for the Kalidopee
Keep lookout for the clowns,
Your the first in line the last to leave,
Well I've never been to Colorado
Or had a Rocky Mountain high
And I've never seen the Denver Broncos
Or watched a tumbleweed blow by
But I've got a 42 inch TV
High definition, crystal-clear
200 channels beamin' from above
Yeah, I can see the world from here
I can see the world from here
Well I've never been to New York City
Or took a stroll through Central Park
I've never waved up at that lady in the Harbor
Or been on Broadway after dark
But I've got a new laptop computer
A bluetooth speaker in my ear
A wireless connection to anywhere I want
Yeah, I can see the world from here
I can see the world from here
Lately I've been gettin' bigger,
They say it's lack of exercise
Yeah, the double chins keep creepin' in the mirror,
I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise
But I bought an elliptical trainer
It's got a built-in plasma screen
Now I can get my cardio with my MTV
Yeah, you gotta love technology
You gotta love technology
I've never been to Colorado
And I probably never will
Yeah I do all my travelin' by remote controls
And I'm as happy as can be here sittin' still
Yeah I'm as snug as a bug in a rug
Happy like a pickin' bud
It's the bottom of the bottle,
The stagger in your step,
The empty scattered on the floor,
It's the final cigarette,
The closing of the check,
The neon goin' dark above the door.
It's time to say goodbye again,
It's time, it's time, it's time,
So long, farewell, godspeed my friend,
Sweet sorrows overdue,
You know it's time for a goodbye, too.
It's an awkward conversation,
When there's nothin' left to say,
It's the shuffle and the shifty eyes,
It's the pause before we answer,
And the stutter when we do,
It's the glimmer of the truth we try to hide.
It's time to say goodbye again,
It's time, it's time, it's time,
So long, farewell, godspeed my friend,
Sweet sorrows overdue, (yeah)
You know it's time for a goodbye, too.
It's killing time that's killing me,
Too many places to go,
And people to see. (oh yeah)
It's a common ceremony,
Dress it however you like,
Right or wrong, it's just the way it is,
People come together,
People come apart,
But the end is always better with a kiss.
It's time to say goodbye again,
It's time, it's time, it's time,
So long, farewell, godspeed my friend,
Sweet sorrows overdue, (yeah)
You know it's time for a goodbye, too.
A fist through the window,
A foot in the front door,
A belly full of wiskey and cocaine,
He went of the deep end,
Yelled I hate you I'm leaving,
I'm taking this car and you won't ever see me agian,
And she Cried ooohohoh Where's my little baby,
She cried ooohohoh where's my sweet little boy,
Have I already lost him,
Have I already lost him,
Four in the morning she heard the fone ring,
And knew it was gonna be real bad,
They told her they found him,
Just south of blood mountian,
The car was in peices
But he was hanging on by the thread,
And she Cried ooohohoh not my little baby,
She cried ooohohoh not my sweet little boy,
Have I already lost him,
It was a Long time coming,
He was a time bomb waiting to blow,
He had to hit rock bottom,
He had to fight with the devil,
And pay up the death he was owed,
A holy revival his head in the bible,
Learning to walk strait agian,
Now he's clean and sober,
It'll be a year in october,
He's holding a good job,
And mama is so proud of him,
And she says ooohohoh that's my little baby,
She says ooohohoh that's my sweet little boy,
And she says ooohohoh that's my little baby,
And she says ooohohoh that's my little boy,
I thought we had lost him,
Will you take me up to Rose Hill
When you lay my body low
Wrap me in a flag, throw some flowers on the ground
Say a few words then let me go
There's no need to defend my honor
Or justify the life I gave
There's no need for the pictures of my happy childhood there
Please don't pour salt upon my grave
I knew long ago that I would be the one
To brandish my sword should they beat those battle drums
I stood my ground, I stood for something worth falling for
Ask my father to forgive me
I know he didn't understand
He worked too hard for way too many years
To lose his only boy in a foreign sand
No doubt, he is angry
No doubt where he'll place the blame
But don't let him fall apart, Mama, don't let him go back to the pills
Only time will ease the pain
I died a patriot, a soldier just like him
Fought like he taught me to, until the very end
I stood my ground, I stood for something worth falling for
Take my stripes and take my medals
Take my cross and these dog tags, too
Put 'em in a package and stain it with your tears
Send it up to Pennsylvania Avenue
My last regards to the man in charge
Let him know I served my country well
Yeah, he was right behind me all the way to Kandahar
The night my broken body fell
Don't let a day go by without a peaceful prayer
For my brothers and my sisters still fighting over there
They stand their ground,
Daddy worked out in the lumber yard,
By the cemetery road.
Carrying the load the best he could.
We; d see him from the highway
When mom would drive us to town.
He looked so small between those rolls of wood
He'd come home around supper time
Kick the sawdust off his boots
Take my baby brother in his arms
I was only five years old
But I remember it so well
I learned what love was there in our single wide home
It was a single wide home
On a dead end gravel road
The back side of my granddaddys land
We had a fifteen acre playground
And it was paradise to me
Lord I wish I could go home again.
We got cable television, back in 85.
50 channels were the world to me.
Then the cartoons and the evening news
Taught me how to be afraid
Of guns and drugs and poverty
I cried momma oh momma I don't ever wanna leave
She said son one day you'll be on your own
But jesus died so you might live and you don't have to be afriad
Yea I found God there in our single home
It was a single wide home
And I had a bible in my hand
And jesus saved me from my sins
As I've gotten older
I've drifted away
Lord I wish I could go home again.
I wish I could go home again
Now that trailers in the scrap yard
Out by the interstate where all the strangers come in
When grandad died they sold the property
Tore down the timber
And started builing
It was a single wide home
Just off jackson trail
Back before the developers moved in
It's all covered up now
By track houses and rows
Lord I wish I could go home again
I wish I could go home again
To a single wide home
Most of the time I'm fairly civilized
Try to hide my low class backward ways
We both know I wear a thin disguise
You've seen my true colors shine as bright as day
O yea when you bring out the redneck in me
Oh yea you know just how crazy I can be
I'll cuss, and I'll fight, and I'll drink all night,
Till I lose my dignity
O when you bring out the redneck in me
Traded in my pickup truck for an suv
Bought some khaki pants and burned all my blue jeans
I've tried to join middle class society
I gotta white collar job and a college degree
Still you bring out the redneck in me
O yea you know just how crazy I can be
I'll cuss, and I'll fight, and I'll drink all night,
Till I lose my dignity
My southern accent ain't so hard to hide
I can talk like a yankee when the timing is right
I seldom speak 'bout my rebel pride
Unless I'm down in Athens raisin' hell on a friday night
O yea and that's when you bring out the redneck in me
Oh yea you know just how crazy I can be
I'll cuss, and I'll fight, and I'll drink all night,
Till I lose my dignity, lord lord
When you bring out the redneck in me
I got a problem I hate to admit
Hell, no one likes talkin' about it
It's the painful condition of every man,
We'd all be saints here without it
It's these beautiful things
I'm like a moth to a flame
And it's buring my wings away
It's money and sex
It's money and drugs
It's the longing to look young forever
It's reachin' for more when you're all ready full
It's all this destructive behavior
It's these beautiful flames
I'm like a moth to a flame
And it's burning my wings away
And noone promises tomorrow
Our best laid plans might go to waste, oh they may
But I won't be afraid, No I won't be afraid
Cause I've got a little faith and a holy grace
And we've got love in our hearts
Hey young lady,
Don't be alarmed,
He might come on kinda strong,
But he don't mean you any harm.
You write the book,
Make him learn the rules,
Once you get him trained oh,
You can let him bend a few.
If he ain't told ya yet,
He will soon enough,
We suffer here together girl,
We're achin' to be loved.
It's a powerful feeling,
When the flame hits the fuse,
No concern for the damage,
When your days get confused.
Oh no, what a powerful feeling.
It's a powerful feeling.
Hello young man,
Try to be polite,
Mind your filthy manners boy,
You'd better treat her right,
If you go to dinner,
Don't run out on the bill,
Don't go blowin' out the candles,
'Cause you think you've sealed the deal,
The tough get goin' when the goin' gets tough,
But goin's not the answer when she's achin' to be loved. (no)
It's a powerful feeling,
When the flame hits the fuse,
No concern for the damage,
When your days get confused.
Oh no, sun burns in a halo,
It's a powerful feeling.
Little scars in your eyes,
Got struck by the blow,
When you first realize,
What a powerful feeling.
Cute little babies grow to girls and boys,
Mommys and Daddys keep a bedroom full of toys,
But they come of age, learn what their parts are for,
Put 'em together and they're not children anymore, (no)
It's a powerful feeling,
Sun burns in a halo,
It's a powerful feeling.
Little stars in your eyes,
Got struck by the blow,
What a stupid surprise,
It's a powerful feeling,
Come on back to me babies, hurry quick
I'm missing y'all so bad you know it damn near made me sick
Three days have been way too long, oh my two babies need to come on home
It's time to leave that buckeyed state behind
Oh come southbound, southbound, southbound 75
Straight through the bluegrass
Cut through that Mason-Dixie line
Lord won't you bring them down the road to Georgia from Ohio
My two babies
I ain't been right since you left me, I've been scared as hell
You know I felt like Jonah in the belly of that whale
Praying for my resurrection day thank God they're only a few hours away
Oh my two babies are coming home to say
Oh come southbound, southbound, southbound 75
Leave that Tennessee river in that rear view mirror, it's time
Lord won't you bring them down the road to Georgia from Ohio
My two babies, my two babies
Ohhh
I ain't done all the dishes and I ain't washed the clothes
But I wrote this song I hope you like how it goes
I miss my two babies with all my heart, two states between is way too far
And I ain't never gonna let you go again
Oh come southbound, southbound, southbound 75
Take a 8 lane highway straight through that Atlanta skyline
Lord won't you bring them down the road to Georgia from Ohio
Lord won't you bring them down the road to Georgia from Ohio
Times are a changing
But I'm still the same ol' son of a bitch in the wind
I act like I did back when I was a kid
But it hurts me more than it did back then
I go out on the town and make a fool of myself
I run around with the same rowdy friends
I get drunk and obnoxious
And wake up the next day swearin' I'm never drinkin' again
Yeah, my grandma still tells me
Enough is enough
Life ain't a game, son
It's time to grow up
[CHORUS]
Maybe next year, I'll start acting my age
Turn a new leaf over my wicked ways
Get a real job and start pullin' my weight
Only 365 days
Until I change my ways
I dress like a slob
I never tuck in my shirt
I let it hang over my baggy jeans
I wear an old baseball cap on the top of my head
With the logo of my favorite team
Still got the same dirty mouth that I've had
Since my first cousin taught me to cuss
And I just quit my 9 to 5 occupation
To play a whole bunch of songs I made up
Yeah, I'm a big ol' kid
But I ain't ashamed
'Cause when the time comes around
I know I can change
CHORUS
Maybe next year I'll quit blowin' all of the cash
Start working out and get off of my ass
Maybe next year I'll quit putting off all the chores
Maybe next year I'll visit my grandparents more
Maybe next year I'll go back to church and repent
Maybe next year I'll pick up my Bible again
I ought to straighten up
And there's no better time than now
To kick all the habits
That are bringin' me down
Maybe next year I won't be singin' the blues
Maybe next year I'll start telling the truth
Maybe next year I won't stay drunk all the time
Maybe next year I'll have a little more peace of mind
And maybe next year
I won't be so sad when I'm alone
It's been a lonely ride,
It's been a lonely ride,
I've traveled far and wide,
Across the countryside,
It's been a lonely ride.
So come and join me for the weekend,
My bunks got room for two, (yeah)
Carve some time out for an old friend,
We'll make a run from Birmingham to Baton Rouge,
Girl I'd love to share a window seat with you.
I've got a bird's eye view,
I've got a bird's eye view,
But the higher up I go,
The more company I leave below,
It's a lonely bird's eye view.
So let's go flying for the weekend,
This airplane's got room for two,
You won't regret a moment we spend,
They'll be nothing like the motions you'll go through,
Come on, let me share a window seat with you.
Across the Delta by the morning honey,
We'll kiss our blues away,
Louisiana let's you love her a little,
Oh, but don't you get attached,
We'll have to send you back come Monday.
Across the Delta by the morning honey,
We'll kiss our blues away,
Louisiana let's you love her a little,
Oh, but don't you get attached,
We'll have to send you back come Monday.
'Cause I need a lonely ride,
I need a lonely ride, oh ya,
I've got a voice inside,
It's chipping at this pilgrims pride,
And, I need a lonely ride.
I need a lonely ride.
Let me love you on a backroad...
I've been down this road before.
It's like the back side of my hand.
And there ain't nothing up ahead
but cow pasture and timberland.
Don't you worry baby I'm gonna take it nice and slow.
I'll keep a tight grip on the steering wheel and my eyes on the road.
Just this one time,
I promise I won't ask again.
It'll be our little secret,
honey I won't tell a soul
and if I see somebody coming I'll be sure to let you know.
Everybody does it, don't you be ashamed.
We'll still make the movie, we'll just be a little late.
And let me love you on a backroad.
Let's make a wreckless memory.
There ain't a house within ten miles of here, no.
So nobody's gonna see.
Take your seatbelt off and climb on over here girl,
leave the driving up to me.
If we get too hot and heavy there's a place where we can go.
Down this worn out hunting trail a half mile off the road.
And we might not make it back there in this little two wheel drive.
But judging by the way you're kissing me it's at least worth a try.
I'll turn this Mustang into an F250 4x4.
If they catch us back there we'll probably go to jail.
But I'd clear out my bank account and gladly pay the bail.
And I promise I'll still love you, and maybe even more.
I won't think bad about you girl, I know you're not a whore.
Let me love you on a backroad.
Let's make a wreckless memory.
There ain't a house within ten miles of here, no.
So nobody's gonna see.
Take your seatbelt off and climb on over here girl,
leave the driving up to me.
I'm rock hard, you're so hot.
I think I'm turning blue.
Come on baby please, you know I'd do the same for you.
Let me love you on a backroad.
Let's make a wreckless memory.
There ain't a house within ten miles of here, no.
So nobody's gonna see.
Back in the day,
Back in the hills,
We were busted,
Made a living on the charity,
Mama couldn't keep her job,
And the alimony check never came on time.
We were poor, I wasn't proud,
Only angry that our daddy couldn't send us more.
Always embarrassed by my free lunch card,
And food stamps for the grocery store.
No keepin' up with the Joneses,
No keepin' up with the Joneses,
When your stuck on the bottom,
You take what you can get,
You say "ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh".
I went to school in hand-me-downs from my cousin,
Baggy britches seemed to suit me well,
Kinda thin and kinda loose in the middle,
Slouching in after the tardy bell.
The teacher never called me trash,
But I knew what she was thinking when she looked at me,
Born to be the underclass,
Growing up to make a living on charity.
No keepin' up with the Joneses,
No keepin' up with the Joneses,
When your stuck on the bottom,
You take what you can get,
You say "ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh".
Don't go looking down your nose at me neighbor,
I can spot you from a yard away,
Don't try to judge me by the clothes I'm wearing or the cars in my driveway.
I'm not rich but I'm not poor any longer,
And I'm happy as a man can be.
I'm proud to work, I'm proud to pay my taxes,
And I'm grateful for my family.
No keepin' up with the Joneses,
No keepin' up with the Joneses,
When you come up from the bottom,
You love whatever you got,
Say "ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh".
No keepin' up with the Joneses,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Ain't nothing, ain't no one, gonna hold me down,
Ain't nothing, ain't no one, gonna hold me down,
Ain't nothing, ain't no one, gonna hold me down,
Been cryin' in my sleep,
Been screamin' out your name,
I wake up in a sweat,
Oh, Juliet, bearin' the burden of the blame.
There's a lock upon our door,
My keys don't seem to fit,
You've shut me out and cut me off, long enough,
Can't we talk a little bit?
Open up, let me in,
Let's start this thing over again,
Don't throw in the towel yet,
The fighting can beat out of my chest.
I know I'm asking a lot,
You're the only good thing I've got,
Juliet, Juliet.
There's a razor on your tongue,
So put that knife back into the drawer,
I'm already hurtin' honey,
You've already cut me to the core.
Oh just think of what you're saying,
What about that new born baby,
Hell I know that I was wrong,
But he's mine too,
And you can't take him away. (no, no)
So open up, let me in,
Let's start this thing over again,
Don't throw in the towel yet,
The fighting can beat out of my chest.
Tell me all is not lost,
Can we fix all the damage I've caused,
Juliet, Juliet.
This brick on my hand,
Gets to weighin' me down,
You've been pretendin' not to notice,
Buried your head in the ground.
Open up, let me in,
Oh I wanna come home again,
Don't throw in the towel yet,
The fighting can beat out of my chest.
I know I'm asking a lot,
You're the only good thing I've got,
Tell me it's not over yet,
Can't you learn to forgive and forget,
Lately, I've been singing the blues
For no apparent reason
I lay around on the couch
Piss and moan draggin' everyone down
Maybe, it's always been in the bloodstream
Maybe daddy was right when he told me
Boy, you're just like your momma
Keep your head up your ass all the time
I feel like a fool
Kickin myself black and blue for the choices I've made
Down and out
Stuck in the mud sinkin' fast gettin' worse everyday
Good Lord, won't you throw me a lifeline
A ray of hope in the sunshine
Won't you help me to find my happy ever after, Amen
Lately, I'm taking pills by the handful
The doctor told me I need 'em
Yea he wrote me a note and
Said I hope you have a hell of a time
They're too good, fill me up with a warm rush
The newspaper don't upset me as much
They ain't easy to swallow
But it's better than sleepin' all day
I'm high as a kite
At least for the time been killin' the pain in my heart
Lettin' go
Of the guilt and the shame that are tearin' my life apart
Good Lord, won't you keep me from crashin'
In anyway, shape, form, or fashion
Can't you fill my prescription
Happy ever after, Amen
Have mercy on me
Hear my pitiful prayer
I need your sympathy
Cause it feels like nobody cares about me
Since I quit takin' care of myself
Oh I'm tired, tired of the struggle
And tired of the lies that I've told
But I'm scared
Scared that my storybook ending will never unfold
Good Lord, I'm not much for confession
But if you can cure my depression
I swear I'll do better
Happy ever after, happy ever after

Been around since 1850, way before the Union come
Built up on a hill, it's got a 500-acre view
But there ain't been no cotton there since Sherman's boys marched through
They've come and burned us down
Guess we had it comin'
(Whistling Dixie)
Jumped out of my pickup truck, there was something in the wind
Filled my soul with empty and sent a chill across my skin
Heard the ghost of a black man hollerin' "Blue" across the field
He said "they sold my only daughter to keep that mansion on a hill"
And I wanted to burn it down
Aww, but it wouldn't do no good
I cried Goodbye Dixie, go rest in peace
We've got enough trouble here without you haunting me
We buried that cross now we're looking ahead
So go on Dixie don't bother me, I'm tryin' to forget
Drove up to the courthouse that holds the county seat
I walked underneath the poplar trees, casting shadows on Main Street
I read the old bronze marker I'd seen many times before
And after all these years I learned what those branches were for
They used to hang 'em here, back in the days of ole Jim Crowe
A black man I knew from high school came walkin' out in chains
He used to make me laugh, but now his eyes were filled with pain
He got busted sellin' rock down there on MLK
So the county came and locked him up and took his kids away
Oh, he used to seem alright to me
Man, I wonder what went wrong
I cried Goodbye Dixie, go rest in peace
We've got enough trouble here without you haunting me
We buried that cross now I'm looking ahead
So go on Dixie don't bother me, I'm tryin' to forget
Way down yonder in the land of cotton, oh how times have changed
But I wonder if the truth is marching on
It's hard to be a Southern man and learn your history
Cause it all comes back and hits you close to home
I cried Goodbye Dixie, go rest in peace
We've got enough trouble here without you haunting me
We buried that cross now I'm trying to make a dime
So go on Dixie don't bother me,
So go on Dixie don't bother me,
So go on Dixie don't bother me,
Blue lights flashin
They had traffic stopped
And highway 11's done turned into to a permanant road block.
I wasnt drivin,my wife was my DD and she hadnt drank a drop,still got hassled by the JPD.
And i said "hey dude cant you just leave her alone,she aint done nothin wrong,and we just wanna go home" whoa whoa.
(chorus)
And i was mad as hell thinkin fuck the popo
And they wonder why,folks dont trust 'em no more. whoa whoa
And im not gonna let this go,so im singin fuck the popo.
So i got arrested
Just for speakin up and that cop said "boy the only right you have is to shut the fuck up"
Now im a jailbird,ive done time in the pen,and Ive got a real messed up story to tell all my friends.
My name was in the newspaper in my hometown,they ruined my reputation because i wouldnt bow down no no
(chorus)
And now im mad as hell,singin fuck the popo.
And they wonder why folks dont trust 'em no more. Whoa whoa
And im not gonna let this go
So im singin fuck the popo
Two fingers in the air for the JPD
The long arm of the law comin down on me
Now i understand why all those rappers are mad
They must have been treated as badly as i have
Now im screamin thug life fuck the popo
Shootin birds out the window whenever the cops go by
They're puttin roadblocks in front of my house man
Im startin to feel like i live under the taliban
Cant drive home without a gun in my face
Thursday through sunday they're invadin my space
Tellin me its for my sake
They're keepin the streets safe
By gettin the drunks off of the highway
But i say man thats a big fuckin lie
Its all about the money from the dui's
otherwise they'd be parked out in front of this bar
Givin free breathalizers before we get in our cars
Instead they just hide about three miles away
Sit and wait for one of us to make a mistake
Drink a little too much you'll be cuffed and stuffed
And probably roughed up if you complain enough
You'll be carted off to jail in the land of the free
Another victim of the overzealous JPD
Now dont get me wrong i dont mean disrespect
Theres alot of good cops that serve and protect
They boldly put their life on the line to protect our rights and give us peace of mind
But for every cop who thinks his badge is a crown
This song is for you and I'll never bow down
And now Im mad as hell singin fuck the popo
And they wonder why folks dont trust 'em no more
And I'm not gonna let this go
Come on in,
Take off your jacket,
Hope the traffic wasn't hard on you dear.
Thanks for making the drive,
Girl, I apologize,
Lately, I just ain't been thinking so clear.
Please have a drink, I'll have another,
Excuse me if I'm pacing the floor,
I'm not the nervous type,
But I'm nervous tonight,
Never been in this situation before.
Oh, it feels like love,
Ya, it feels like love,
Don't know what else it could be,
Honey it's true, I don't know 'bout you,
But it feels like love to me.
By now you know me, I'm rather simple,
Set in my ways, used to livin' alone,
Only one night stands, come and go girlfriends,
But that all changed the moment you came along.
I met your mama, I met your daddy,
Your best friend and your kitten too,
You let me in real deep,
And it's no secret to keep,
I'm falling head and heels over you.
Oh, it feels like love,
Ya, it feels like love,
Don't know what else it could be,
Honey it's true, I don't know 'bout you,
But it feels like love to me.
I wanna plant a garden,
Wanna tend the seed and soil,
And beg for nature's pardon, (oh)
What beautiful fruit we'd spoil.
(Yeah, yeah)
Does it feel like love,
Does it feel like love,
Give me some kind of clue.
I'd be as happy as any man has ever been,
If it feels like love to you.
Does it feel like love to you,
Oh, it feels like love,
Ya, it feels like love,
Oh, it feels like love,
Ya, it feels like love,
A Long ride back from Jacksonville
500 miles from a game we should've won.
Man we ought to burn down that stadium.
Thought this year was gonna be ours
Talkin' too much junk in those Florida bars
Now I'm stuck.
Man I wish it was 1981.
And I know why they say
Every Dawg has his days.
Can't win every game we play,
But every dawg has his days.
Longin' for those glory days
Like the one where he cried
"Run Lindsay Run"
I was too young to be there
But I'm sure it was fun.
Bet that crowd was flyin' high
And I bet Glory to Old Georgia was cried
As the band played.
Man I wish I could feel that way today.
I know why they say
Every dawg has his days.
Can't win every game we play,
But every dawg has his days.
And I play back my favorite victories
Like that last minute win up in Tennesee.
I bet them hob nails hurt like hell.
And I got sweet memories of 2002,
Won the SEC, and the Sugar Bowl too.
Man we had a ball down on Bourbon street.
Woah, woah, those were the days.
Just got my tickets in the mail
September's comin fast and I can hardly wait.
They say these guys, they might take us all the way.
And if they do I'll be flyin high
And there'll probably be a happy tear in my eye.
But rain or shine,
I'll be yellin GO DAWGS
From the 20 yard line.
And I know why they say,
Every dawg has his days.
Can't win every game we play.
Oh, but you know we're gonna have our day.
We'll be singin
Glory glory to old Georgia. (x3)
I got a bad condition,
Yeah it's been going around,
Since Eve stole the fruit from the tree,
It's a thing for the dirty little thing we do,
I think about it don't freak with me.
Yeah there's a movie collection in the back of my mind,
It's filthy as a garbage pale,
If it keeps piling up at the rate it's growing,
I'm gonna be a perverted old man.
Yeah, I get dirtier by the year,
Yeah, I get dirtier by the year,
I'm more obscene than a hustler magazine,
And I get dirtier by the year.
The voice in my head is a four letter train,
It would bring my mama to tears,
Sometimes I'm ashamed just to listen myself,
Man I'm glad nobody else can hear.
Yeah, it gets dirtier by the year,
Yeah, it gets dirtier by the year,
I'm nasty enough to make a stripper blush,
And I get dirtier by the year.
I'm like a wolf on the prow,
But there's no eating allowed,
My dinner's back home on the table.
But all these fantasies,
Keep propositionin' me,
I try to stop but I'm not able. (no)
I went to the preacher,
I said I must confess,
I feel I'm rotten down to the core,
He said 'Don't be so hard on yourself now son,
What do you think all this religion is for?'
We get dirtier by the year,
We get dirtier by the year,
Yeah the longer we live,
The more there is to forgive,
We get dirtier by the year,
There's a picture my mama kept in a drawer
She pulled it out of the trash after I said we were over for sure
She must have known that one day the heartache would end
I'd come to terms with the past and wanna' see that picture again
Turns out Mama was right
'Cause I'm wonderin' about you tonight
Senior prom in the palm of my hand
Wishin' we could have been friends
We took a chance one night on the hood of my car
Couldn't hold back anymore though you swore we'd never go that far
But playin' it safe never felt nearly as good
As playin' those games in the dark, pushin' you as far as I could
Maybe it was a mistake
Stealin' all of the love I could make
And this hurtin' is the price for the sin
Yeah, I wish we just could have been friends
The last word you heard was far from the truth
The cruelest thing I'd ever spoken
And there's no way to tell you how sorry I am
'Cause every bond has been broken
Yeah, the loose ends are choking me now
Life's been good to me and I'm sure it's been good to you
I found a true love and heard that you did, too
Now you're up in Manhattan, the big city sure suits you well
Well, I'm still in this small town but I'm making a name for myself
There's no shadow of a doubt
Honey, we would have never worked out
It was all for the best in the end
Still, I wish we could have been friends
Oh, I wish we could have been friends
I wish we could have been
There's a picture my mama kept in a drawer
We chart our courses but always collide,
We stumble from the wreck wait for the rescue to arrive,
They put out the fire but the smoke never clears,
It's a blanket of lies getting thicker by the year.
I'm not throwin' stones,
I've got a glass house of my own,
But I won't pretend I was wrong,
When I'm not the one to blame.
You took off your gloves with my back to the wall,
You threw the first punch and I took a hard fall,
But I'm on trial now they beg for my plea,
They label you the victim and they put the cuffs on me.
I'm not throwin' stones,
I've got a glass house of my own,
But I won't pretend I was wrong,
When I'm not the one to blame. (no! )
I'll forgive and forget,
I'll turn the other cheek,
But I won't lay in your bed,
When it's your turn to weep,
When it's your turn to cry yourself to sleep.
I'm not throwin' stones,
Got a glass house of my own,
But I won't pretend I was wrong,
When I'm not the one, I am not the one,
To blame.
Tasha's got a room at the county shelter
The cops took her there when her mama got hauled away
Little brother and her can't even stay together
She cries each night wondering why it's gotta be this way
And she says "I wish I was anyone but me"
Yeah she'd pack her life in a heartbeat for a little change of scenery
And she keeps looking for a better place
Somewhere she can wear a smile upon her face
A home to welcome with a warm embrace
There's no way to disguise her lonely eyes
Looking for a better place
Bobby's doing time in youth detention
Pulled a switch blade knife on some boy making fun at school
And all he wanted was a little attention
And a temporary escape from the ridicule
And now he's in real deep with the freaks and the criminals
And he wonders when his time is up if he'll know himself at all
And he keeps dreaming of a better place
Somewhere he can have a little room to make mistakes
A home to help him wash the past away
Oh he don't need too much, just a little love
In a better place
In a better place
Jamie's got a room in a 3-story brick home
Daddy makes a lotta money, mama keeps her laundry clean
And she's got a $200 Abercrombie outfit on
Drives a brand new car that she got when she turned 16
Still she spends every night getting high with her so-called friends
And she's dropping hundred dollar bills on quarterbags, says she's never coming down again
And she keeps looking for a better place
Failing to realize how good she's got it made
Her loving home, she don't appreciate
Oh it's crazy but it's true, she doesn't have a clue
She's living in a better place
In a better place
In a better place
Look at the sky on fire,
Who struck the match,
Who fanned the flames,
Everyone's pointin' a finger,
'Cause nobody cares for the blame.
See the clouds getting thicker,
Cry out to God as the embers burn,
Said it's too late for redemption,
Read all the books but they never learn. (no, no)
Love is a compass,
It will turn you around 180 degrees,
The arc of a rainbow.
It's a promise made,
It's a promise kept,
Let's walk two by two,
The arc of a rainbow.
Feels like a thief in the night,
Came and carried your blanket away,
You keep reachin' for cover,
Because you're as naked as a new born babe, (yeah, yeah)
Got your eyes wide open but you can't really see a thing,
Staring up at an old moon,
So afraid of what the season will bring. (Oh, oh)
Love is a compass,
It will turn you around 180 degrees,
The arc of a rainbow.
It's a promise made,
It's a promise kept,
Let's walk two by two,
The arc of a rainbow.
Everyday is a revelation,
Hear a trumpet, see a kingdom come,
They can build us a fortress,
But fear it won't protect us from (no, no)
If it's a matter of time,
Well then time oughta matter more,
I think it's already over,
If the end is all you're waiting for.
Love is a compass,
It will turn you around 180 degrees,
The arc of a rainbow.
Each tear is a prism,
Hope is a ray of light,
Let's walk two by two,
The arc of a rainbow.
Love is a compass,
It will turn you around 180 degrees,
The arc of a rainbow.
It's a promise made,
It's a promise kept,
Let's walk two by two,
