(Allen Collins -- Ronnie VanZant)
You got to love ol' Charlie Daniels You got to cut the rug with Wet Willie too And you got to be a fan of the Marshall Tucker Band Before I'll sit down and have a drink with you Yes, Bakersfield has got ol' Merle Haggard He's a bad, bad boy, yes indeed Nashville's got a million and one guitar pickers But I guess my favorite would be the CDB (Chorus) Yes there's a few good rockers in New York City Guess the big LA, it never cared for me So won't you tell all them Hollywierd writer people That it just don't make a damn When you got good friends like me Never pick on good ol' Waylon Jennings Or Willie Nelson, Bob Wills or me Well they're playin' that good ol' country-western You know this thing they call the Texas Swing (Chorus) |

Well them four walls of Raiford, closing in on me
Doin' three to five hard labor, for armed robbery I had two years behind, but I could not wait the time Everytime I thought about it, well I died some more inside And I had stripes on my back, memories that hurt For the only time I seen sunshine is when I hit the dirt Diggin' ditches for the chain gang, sleepin' in the cold Oh Lord please forgive me for I could not wait no more And I comin' home to see you Jesus Well it feels so close this time Please take mercy on this soldier From the Florida-Georgia line When they find me they must kill me Oh Jesus save my soul I can't go back down to Raiford I can't take that anymore Well these last few years behind me Oh Lord, have been so sad I fought proudly for my country when the times were bad Now they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die Only me and Jesus know that I never stole a dime Well when Vietnam was over there was no work here for me I had a pretty wife awaitin and two kids I had to feed Well I'm one of America's heroes and when they shoot me down Won't fly old Glory proudly, put my medals in the ground And I comin' home to see you Jesus Well it feels so close this time Please take mercy on this soldier From the Florida-Georgia line When they find me they must kill me Oh Jesus save my soul I can't go back down to Raiford I can't take that anymore |

(Steve Gaines)
Somewhere the sun is shining On some unhappy day Somewhere there's people laughing They think they've found the way But its not me Its not me, no no now Its not me, Its not me, Its not me, Its not me I'm not the one Well sure I used to cry, but I used to laugh to I had ups as well as downs you see But I been down now for so long I've forgotten all my dreams. Yea it must be me It must be me, you know now Its not me, Its not me, Its not me, Its not me I'm not the one in the sun Since I became I've wondered what I've become Lord I know it can't be much longer 'til I find my place in sun Sometimes I wonder will I figure something out Will I find a reason good enough to live Lord if it don't dawn on me pretty soon I think something's gonna give Yea it might be me Yea it just might be me, yea Its not me, no it can't be 'Cause I'm not the one in the sun No I'm not the one Yea I'm not the one But I'm not the one Sorry to say I'm not the one |

My poor broke mama told me When I was twelve years old You eat and talk much too fast There's one thing you should know Take your time my sweet baby Take your time my blue eyed son Well you may never have his money But you won't miss no rich man's fun I can never give you money honey I can never buy you clothes But the way them women been lookin' at you Someday you should have both If you take your time my sweet baby Take your time and love them slow And if you play your cards right You won't never wait no more Well the ladies like their diamonds They like their brand new clothes But I was blessed with plenty of other things they love the most I take my time with the ladies I take my time and I love 'em slow And since I turned thirteen Lord, I ain't never wait no more I can never give you money honey I can never buy you clothes But the way them schoolgirls look at you Someday you should have both If you take your time my sweet baby Take your time and be my son Well you might never have his money But you won't miss his fun |
