I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for What about our freedom and this piece of ground We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in Before you start your preaching Let me ask you this my friend Have you forgotten how it felt that day To see your homeland under fire And her people blown away Have you forgotten when those towers fell We had neighbors still inside Going through a living hell And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden Have you forgotten They took all the footage off my TV Said it's too disturbing for you and me It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say If it was up to me I'd show it everyday Some say this country's just out looking for a fight After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right Have you forgotten how it felt that day To see your homeland under fire And her people blown away Have you forgotten when those towers fell We had neighbors still inside Going through a living hell And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden Have you forgotten I've been there with the soldiers Who've gone away to war And you can bet that they remember Just what they're fighting for Have you forgotten all the people killed Some went down like heros in that Pennsylvania field Have you forgotten about our Pentagon All the loved ones that we lost And those left to carry on Don't you tell me not to worry about Bin Laden Have you forgotten Have you forgotten Have you forgotten ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By WORLEY, DARRYL/VARBLE, WYNN <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i> |

I have never had an easy life
But I'm not complaining It has taught me how to stand and fight For what I believe in I guess that's just how I was raised I find it hard to walk away I will not back down When you push me to the wall Expecting me to fall I will not give in I am not afraid to fight For what I know is right I can only take so much And when I've had enough It's not in my blood to just lay down I will hold my ground I try my best to get through every day Without confrontation Stayin' out of everybody's way But then on occasion Somebody steps across the line And it's not too long before they find I will not back down When you push me to the wall Expecting me to fall I will not give in I am not afraid to fight For what I know is right I can only take so much And when I've had enough It's not in my blood to just lay down I will hold my ground I will not back down When you push me to the wall Expecting me to fall I will not give in I am not afraid to fight For what I know is right I can only take so much And when I've had enough It's not in my blood to just lay down No it's not in my blood to just lay down I will hold my ground Yeah, I will hold my ground I will hold my ground I will hold my ground I will hold my ground |

I was flying down the highway weaving in and out of traffic
I was racing time An old man pulled out in front of me and I went crazy as can be I lost my mind I blew my horn till I got close enough to see And what was on his car-tag sure convicted me POW 369 I should salute you from this heart of mine Thank you for placing your life on the line For me, I?m free I pray that the rest of your journey Is a peaceful one And may you take your own sweet time Mr. POW 369 The things we take for granted in this life we lead are tragic We should be ashamed He left his home and family and cast his fate across the sea Would we do the same? Well I sure bet he?s got some stories he could tell Ain?t that many ever made it back from hell POW 369 I should salute you from this heart of mine Thank you for laying your life on the line For me, I?m free I pray that the rest of your journey Is a peaceful one And may you take your own sweet time Mr. POW 369 Let me thank you one more time Mr. POW 369 |

I got a place that I like to slip off to
When everything starts closin' in And I got some ways that the world don't agree with Yeah, some folks would call it a sin But I work like a dog and I'm good at my job And I live for a one day weekend So I'm takin' off and I might stay a week Hell I may never come back again I need a breather, a sweet senorita Writin' my name in the sand I need a break from this job And this angry boss man Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean Just sit back and take it all in I got the fever and I need a breather again The people at work they think I'm a loner But I need some time to myself And I don't want to waste my precious vacation Livin' for somebody else 'Cause I'll have a drink and I might fall down And I don't think that they'd understand I know it all sounds a little bit crazy Well maybe that's just what I am I need a breather, a sweet senorita Writin' my name in the sand I need a break from this job And this angry boss man Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean Just sit back and take it all in I got the fever, I need a breather again Things fell apart down at the office And I'm getting blamed for it all I've only been back for a couple of days And I'm already climbin' the wall Hey I need a breather, a stiff margarita Bring 'em as fast as you can 'Cause I need a break from this job And this angry boss man Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean Just kick back and take it all in Yeah, I got the fever, I need a breather again I got the fever and I need a breather again, yes I do |

There's a little shack tucked back in the timber
It wasn't much back then, but it was home Sometimes it hurts me to remember Just how long I've been gone Oh, how I miss the smell of mama's kitchen And the way she used to sing those gospel songs Right now I wish that me and dad were fishin' So I could tell him, he was right and I was wrong Big city nights and lights surround me Feels like a prison to my soul I can hear a whippoorwill calling me home Back where I belong Now all the rockin' chairs are empty I hate to think how tall the weeds have grown I'd give back everything the good Lord gave me If I could just go back to where I belong Big city nights and lights surround me Feels like a prison to my soul I can hear a whippoorwill calling me home Back where I belong, back where I belong |

(Mark Nesler)
I don't have a lot, but I'm proud of what I've got I can't complain 'Cause I see people hangin' round, on the city streets downtown Living on pocket change There're times I've been confused, felt that I was born to lose Oh but I survived Unlike the one's who pray and feel more than blessed each day To just be still alive Is there something we can do Seems the odds against survival are a million to one The only hope they have will die In the hearts of you and I if nothing's ever done I can't save them by myself Oh but God forbid that I just turn my head And walk on by Don't let me be a stranger to those less fortunate than I Seems that old golden rule, that I learned back in school Has lost its shine It's a crying shame, and I wonder could the blame Be yours and mine Discipline was tough, and that old principal was rough But the times were good 'Cause no one ever found one single child shot down In the neighborhood Is there something we can do Seems the odds against survival are a million to one 'Cause every day that passes by Another street gang victim dies And still there's nothing done I can't save them by myself Oh but God forbid that I just run away somewhere and hide From the fear and the danger of those less fortunate than I Lord don't let me be a stranger to those less fortunate than I |

A mist halos the meadow
And a soft wind breathes a whisper through the trees As I lean against a hickory I close my eyes and I can almost see The ghostly forms of blue and gray And I can almost hear the cannons blast Standin' in the presence of the past The first few waves came cheerin' Fear and hatred runnin' through their blood When the day was finally over Those left were wadin' through a crimson flood To think I could be right here In the spot where some young soldier breathed his last Standin' in the presence of the past Brother fightin' brother Father fightin' son By the time the sun was settin' Looked like the south had won Now my mouth's as dry as cotton And my heart is beatin' fast Standin' in the presence of the past Sunrise caught the rebels sleepin' And they woke to hear a Yankee bugle blow Bullets flew like angry hornets Till the peach tree blossoms drifted down like snow It must've been like Hell on earth What happened here is more than we can grasp Standin' in the presence of the past Brother fightin' brother Father fightin' son By the time the smoke had lifted They knew the north had won Lord my soul feels empty As my tears fall on this grass Standin' in the presence of the past Brother killin' brother Father slayin' son From the looks of this old graveyard Hell nobody really won Somethin's changed inside me It sure can happen fast Standin' in the presence of the past A mist halos the meadow And a soft wind breathes a whisper through the trees |

Worked all week, got it all done
Let's make a Tennessee River run Hey everybody, I think the time is right Let's get together down where the catfish bite Cooped up all winter waitin' on a day like this It's the way I feel when I'm rockin' on the water Baby, that I can't resist Barbecue grill, summertime jam Just about a mile above the Pickwick dam Party on the water, whole lotta fun Time to make a Tennessee River run I'll get my bass boat, crank up your party barge We'll drop these anchors out where the big boats are Break out a cooler, pass out some ice cold beer Look at all the people out here on the water Man, I can't believe we're here Swingin' on a rope, gonna have a ball Jumpin' off the yellow creek waterfall Checking out the honeys baking in the sun God bless a Tennessee River run Oh, what a weekend, we've had some time to play I should be leavin', tomorrow's a work week day I just might call in, tell 'em that I can't get home Does anybody else want to stay a little longer Or am I gonna be alone? Floatin' on a tube, gonna weigh a ton Cajun sausage on a hot dog bun Barbecue grill, summertime jam Just about a mile above the Pickwick dam Party on the water, whole lot of fun Gotta have the Tennessee River run Nothing like a Tennessee River run I love a Tennessee river run Whoop up a Tennessee River run |

If it's really over and there's nothin' I can say
I'll do my best to hide the pain and turn and walk away But do me one last favor and pretend you're hurting too After all we've been through it's the least that you can do I don't know any reason we should let the whole town know Which one of us came up with this plan for letting go Try to leave me just a little pride to get me through After all I gave you it's the least that you can do When you run into our old friends could you ask them how I've been And maybe even muster up a teardrop now and then If they ask you how you're doing, what's it really gonna hurt To tell a little lie and do your best to look your worst You keep my old love letters in the closet down the hall And leave at least one picture of me somewhere on your wall Could you do your best impression of a sentimental fool After all it seems like it's the least that you can do Oh I know it won't be long till someone else is loving you And waking up in your arms just the way that I used to Promise me at least one time you'll call him by my name And when I'm with somebody new I'll try to do the same If someone ever asks you why we went our separate ways We were just too much in love might be the thing to say Or maybe you could tell them I was just too good for you After all I gave you it's the least that you can do And if the shoe were on the other foot, I'd do the same for you Hey after all we've been through it's the least that you can do |

I miss the look of surrender in your eyes
The way your soft brown hair would fall I miss the power of your kiss when we made love Oh, but baby most of all, I miss my friend The one my heart and soul confided in The one I felt the safest with The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again And let the light back in, I miss my friend I miss the colors that you brought into my life Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes And I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now Saying it'll be alright, I miss my friend The one my heart and soul confided in The one I felt the safest with The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again And let the light back in, I miss my friend I miss those times, I miss those nights I even miss our silly fights The making up, the morning talks And those late afternoon walks, I miss my friend The one my heart and soul confided in The one I felt the safest with The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again And let the light back in, I miss my friend I miss my friend, I miss my friend, mmm, I miss my friend |

Dancin' in the living room cuttin' up a rug
Dancin' with a baby looks more like a hug Livin' in a house made of saw mill wood "Roll over Beethoven" never sounded so good Come on baby, baby let's go Where we get the money honey I don't know One more baby's alright by me We'll just add another limb to the family tree Well raising up babies is our new sport You're one day late and I'm a dollar short Now maybe it was planned maybe it was a goof But a cat just has to dance on a hot tin roof Come on baby, baby let's go Where we get the money honey I don't know One more baby's alright by me We'll just add another limb to the family tree Well the lawnmower's broken, the tax is due And if I find another tick I'm gonna come unglued We got hand me down clothes, hand me down shoes We got the big belly momma here we go again blues Come on baby, baby let's go Where we get the money honey I don't know One more baby's alright by me We'll just add another limb to the family tree Baby, whoa, whoa let's go Where we get the money I don't know One more baby alright's by me It's alright, it's alright now baby We'll just add another limb to the family tree Oh we'll just add another limb to the family tree We'll just add another limb to the family tree |

I'm tired of working every day for a dollar
About to choke on my own blue collar This ain't gonna last, misled by the grand illusion I've come to this conclusion I can't make the move too fast It was written in the sky today by the morning sun It sure looks like a good day to run Wide open down a two-lane highway It's about time that some things went my way Throwing troubles out to the wind and I'm praying that they never catch up again I'm gonna say my worrying days are done And this looks like a good day to run My baby's been working as a cashier She didn't get a vacation this past year but now it won't be long We don't need no destination Just a tank of gas and a good clear station playing our favorite song There're some places that we ain't been, some things that we ain't done And it sure looks like a good day to run Wide open down a two-lane highway It's about time that some things went my way Throwing troubles out to the wind and I'm praying that they never catch up again I'm gonna say my worrying days are done And this looks like a good day to run Yeah, I'm gonna say my worrying days are done This looks like a good day to run, good day to run Good day to run, we got a good, good day |

There's an old friendly breeze that blows in the Gulf of Mexico
Somehow it always knows when I'm feeling low So I'm gonna anchor down and wait till it comes around Leave the rest of the world behind, yeah, that's how I'll pass the time Till I catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again Find the strength I lost back when you, you stopped loving me I guess I'll just stay out here until I know the coast is clear Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind There's a peace in the way I feel when the water's still And as long as it's calm out here I've got time to kill But as soon as it starts to stir I'll lose track of the way things were Float away on the open air but I'm not going anywhere Till I catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again Find the strength I lost back when you, you stopped loving me I guess I'll just stay out here until I know the coast is clear Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind I guess I'll just stay out here until I know the coast is clear Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind |

Two in the morning telephone rings
Somehow I knew who it was 'Cause, baby, it's always the same old thing When you need my love You say it's over again and again This time you've had enough Girl, I know you've been fighting with him When you need my love Oh I wish I could just say no And get you out of my heart It must be nice to have some place to go When your world falls apart He'll call tomorrow with the same ol' line And you'll forget about us And I'll be lonely until the next time When you need my love Oh I wish I could just say no And get you out of my heart It must be nice to have some place to go When your world falls apart Now someday someone's gonna love me true And, baby, when she does Then I wonder what you're gonna do When you need my love Yeah, then I wonder what you're gonna do When you need my love, when you need my love When you need my love, what are you gonna do? |

I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Too many choices and it's only getting worse Too many things that I could do today Too many stops along the way I miss the way it used to be Back when there were just two channels on TV Well, that way of life was so much easier I've got too many pockets on my shirt Somehow it all got out of hand Too complicated for a simple man Don't want to have to pick and choose Hey, look at all these things, I'll never use I'm gonna find a one-lane road Where there's only one way I can go Take a little trip back to the way things were I've got too many pockets on my shirt Somehow it all got out of hand Too complicated for a simple man Don't want to have to pick and choose Hey, look at all these things, I'll never use I'm gonna find a one-lane road Where there's only one way I can go Take a little trip back to the way things were I've got too many pockets on my shirt Wish I could get back to the way things were I've got too many pockets on my shirt Too many pockets on my shirt |

The way things are goin' in my life
I'm headed for disaster Livin' fast and faster A rebel on a roller coaster ride That's the way things are goin' in my life The very folks that mean the most to me They're as distant as the sunset I need 'em every one yet I hurt 'em till they just can't hardly be The very folks that mean the most to me It would be easy to abandon A man who's so demandin' But somehow she's still standin' here with me If I could conjure up a miracle Find comfort in the spiritual I guess I'd pray for some serenity...but that ain't me And the way things are goin' in my life I guess it won't be long now Oh before she's gone now She might say goodbye just to prove me right That's the way things are goin' in my life It would be easy to abandon A man who's so demandin' But somehow she's still standin' here with me If I could conjure up a miracle Find comfort in the spiritual I guess I'd pray for some serenity I guess it won't be long now Oh before she's gone now She might say goodbye just to prove me right That's the way things are goin' in my life Yeah, that's the way things are goin' in my life ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By SANDERS, MARK DANIEL / SANDERS, MARK DANIEL / WORLEY, DARRYL <i>Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc., Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |
