Dead Man Walkin' Lyrics
[Intro]
MMMMmmmmmm
Hahaaa
Let me tell you a story
[Verse 1]
Outside of Macon off a country road
Justice was forsaken when they let the wrong man go
Johnny Law was shady first one on the scene
They called it murder in the first degree
Dead man walking, walking down the hall
Judge says guilty but still he's standing tall
Dead man walking they say he broke the law
Taking the life of another man who done his daughter wrong
[Chorus]
Light them up, lay them down
Take them out but there's more of us around
When wrong is right and right is wrong
Oh there's a dead man walking tonight
Walk on[x3]
[Verse 2]
If I ask you a question, would you tell the truth
Would you pull the triger if you were standing in his shoes
Dead man walking I know what I'd do
If someone hurt my baby I'd be walking too
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Yeah[?]
So if I ask you that question, would you tell the truth?
Ahaha...Dead man walking
MMMMMmmmmm
Red, White & Blue Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh
Mm-mmm
[Verse 1]
We don't have no plastic L.A. friends
Ain't on the edge of no popular trend
Ain't never seen the inside of that magazine GQ
We don't care if you're a lawyer or a Texas oil man
Or some waitress bustin' ass at some liquor stand
If you got soul, we hang out with people just like you
[Chorus]
And my hair's turning white
My neck's always been red
My collar's still blue
We've always been here
Just trying to sing the truth to you
Guess you could say
We've always been red, white and blue
Oh
[Verse 2]
Ride our own bikes to Sturgis, pay our own dues
Smoking Camels and drinking domestic brews
If you want to know where I've been, just look at my hands
Yeah, I've driven by the White House, spent some time in jail
Mama cried, but she still wouldn't pay my bail
I ain't been no angel, but even God, He understands
Yeah
[Chorus]
But my hair's turning white
My neck's always been red
My collar's still blue
We've always been here
Just trying to sing the truth to you
Guess you could say
We've always been red, white and blue
Yeah, that's right
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
My daddy worked hard and so have I
We paid our taxes and gave our lives to serve this great country
So what are they complaining about?
Yeah, we love our families, we love our kids
You know it's love that makes us all so rich
That's where we're at
If they don't like it they can just, get the hell out
Yeah
[Chorus]
But my hair's turning white
My neck's always been red
My collar's still blue
We've always been here
Just trying to sing the truth to you
Oh
Mm-mm, woah
But my hair's turning white
My neck's always been red
My collar's still blue
We've always been here
Just trying to sing the truth to you
Guess you could say
We've always been red, white and blue
[Outro]
Oh
Red, white and blue
You know, you know, you know
Red, white and blue
Yeah
Oh, red, white and blue
Sweet Mama Lyrics
[Intro]
Here we go
Come on
[Verse 1]
I was raised on the west side Shanty Town
I didn't get up until the sun went down
When your backs against the wall you better get tough
I learned real quick how to swing and duck
[Chorus]
I was born in the sweet hot Florida sunshine
Good looking women backwoods and moonshine
Learned more about life on the streets than in school
Sweet Mama didn't raise no fool (No she didn't)
Hahahaha
Ooooohhh
[Verse 2]
Some folks cheat and some folks lie
I can judge a man by the look in his eyes
So don't hand me Jack and try to call it Cola
I know the difference between shit and shinola
[Chorus]
Play it boys[?]
MMmmHhmmm[?]
[Verse 3]
Mama was no angel when she taught me right from wrong
She knew every single note and every word in every single song
She taught me how to gamble and how to roll the dice
If it makes you feel good DO IT don't think twice
[Chorus] [x2]
[Outro]
Talking about Mama
Ooooh I'm telling you sheee[?]
Talking about sweet, sweet sweet Mama
Talking about sweet sweet sweet, sweet sweet Mama
Talking about sweet sweet sweet, sweet sweet Mama
Talking about sweeeeeeeeeet Mama
Rockin' Little Town Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah[?]
[Verse 1]
Big bad machine still making the scene
Big wheels keep on turning
Step on the gas, gone in a flash
Rubber just keeps on burning
[Pre-Chorus]
Because every night is a Saturday night
No Matter what town we're in
Open the doors, kick out the lights
Just let the party begin
[Chorus]
We're just watching the world from this big ass bus
The highway is home to folks like us
Making good music, keeping it alive
Slip in slip out, of your rocking little town tonight
Yeah that's what we do
[Verse 2]
Get into town, lay our head down
Really there is nothing to do
Watching the clock, get ready to rock
We aren't no different than you
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
MMMMmmmmm
So good to see you all again
I hope this ride we're on
Oooooh it never ends yeah
OOohhh
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
"Because We're just watching the world from this big ass bus
The highway is home to boys like us
Making good music, keeping it alive
Slip in, slip out
We're going to rock' your little town
Watching the world from this big ass bus
The highway is home to folks like us
Making good music, keeping it alive
Slip in, slip out
Of your rocking little town tonight
Yeah it's what we do
Oohhh we'll see you soon
MMMMMmmmOoooh
Yeah your little rocking town
Crawl Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your love does something to me that I can't describe
Dark eyes see right through me and I just can't hide
You drive me crazy with what you don't say and the way you hold back love
Tell me tell me won't you please please tell me
Need an answer from above
There you are, You're my desire, and here I am
I'd be a liar if I said
[Chorus]
I am not going to crawl
You are not going to nail my heart to the wall
You aren't going to find me crying like a child just asking for it all
I am not going to beg, I'd rather lose it all instead
If that is what it takes to get you Part of me just might let you
For someone like you, I'd do more than fall
I just might crawl
[Verse 2]
Seems like I get this feeling this time of night
Head down senses reeling, something just isn't right
Imagination locked up inside and it's got nowhere to go
I see my lover through another's eyes
And it's killing me to know the truth
Like playing with fire To lose you
I'd be a liar if I said[?]
[Chorus] [x2]
Jake Lyrics
2 ContributorsJake LyricsThe boy gets crazy when he's sittin' at the bar
Don't you mess with Jake don't you push him to far
Rot gut whiskey and home made wine
Make a good country boy just lose his mind
Like a run away train rollin' through the night
The boy ain't got no fear
Like a race car hittin' the wall he gets hard to steer
Waitin' for the smoke to clear
OOOOHH
Betty got caught in the back of Bobby's car
Bobby got caught with his hand in the cookie jar
Her daddy blew a fuse and he went for his gun
EEEEE
Now Bobby and Betty thier on the run
Like a run away train rollin' through the nite
Nothin's gonna stop them now
Gotta keep on movin', coverin' tracks somehow
Like a run away train rollin' through the night
The kids ain't got no fear
Daddy's (wizz?) bang is the last sound Bobby's gonna hear
Ooohhh
Waitin for the smoke to clear
Daddy finally caught him in the end of his gun
Put a dead end to all of Bobby's fun
OOhh
Good God almighty, Oh heaven sakes
Betty's Daddy turned out to be Jake
Like a run away train rollin' through the nite
Jake ain't got no fear
Know the hangman judge gonna give the boy 99 years
Here sits Jake at the back of this bar
Sippin' on a nice cold beer
If the law had a clue all they'd do is look right here
When they see Jake..... waitin' for the smoke to clear
Waitin for...OOOOHHHAAA
Life's Lessons Lyrics
[Intro]
MMMMMmmmmmm
[Verse 1]
I listen, and still I haven't heard
Tell me what is the word
And if I ever heard it would it be clear as water
Oh tears run down your face
Reflects the human race
We're all caught up with winning losing time and space
Life's lessons
So you think you know it all
But you're headin' for a fall
Ooh to make it back again
You'll have to crawl and step back
Take a look around
Are your feet still on the ground
Can we find you in the section of lost and found
[Pre-Chorus]
Never think you got it figured out
Because when you do you begin to doubt
It's time for you to open your eyes
[Chorus]
Will we look back and see what we've done
Will we be proud or ashamed of what we've become
Will we realize we all share one fate
Or is this another life's lesson... Too late
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Will we look back and see what we've done
OOohhh...OOohhh
Will we realize we all share one fate
OOOohhhh life's lessons
OOohhh...OOohhh...OOohhh yeah life's lessons
Ooohh... life's lessons
[Outro]
Will we look back and see what we've done
Will we realize we all share one fate
Lucky Man Lyrics
[Intro]
MMMMMmmmmMMMMMmmm
[Verse 1]
Well it took so long for me to realize
That my destiny was right before my eyes
If it were up to me to travel through this life
I'd find an open space for me to live out all my dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm such a lucky man, I try to be a stronger man
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man
It's made me a better man, I've given all I can
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man
[Chorus]
I remember all the things I've been through
Gave myself to all those people I once knew
I'm such a lucky man
[Verse 2]
I'd like to thank you for the times that you have been with me
I hope it meant as much to you to share these memories
There's a guiding light that always seems to shine on me
If I did it again I'd be happy until the end
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
It's right here in the moonlight
[Bridge]
Whooooooooohhhoooooohhhh
I'm a lucky man, I try to be a stronger man
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man
It's made me a better man, I've given all I can
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man
I'm a lucky man
Yeah
[Outro]
MMMMMmmmmMMMMMmmm.... I'm a lucky man
Whooooooooohhhoooooohhhh.... just a lucky man
