Telling you that somethings wrong....

there's a voice you been hearing for too long,
it's been telling you that something�s wrong,
come on now child wont you sing along,
we all know that it won�t be long,


all around things are falling down,
but no one wants to hear the sound,
it seems as if this world's hell bound,
as we�re treading water hoping not to drown,


there are soldiers dying in endless wars,
no one sure what they�re fighting for,
death and destruction everywhere,
wall street�s making money so no one�
no one seems to care,


all around things are falling down,
but no one wants to hear the sound,
it seems as if this world's hell bound,
as we�re treading water hoping not to drown,


an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,
lynch em� up by a hangman�s noose,
don�t get me wrong justice should prevail.
but are we acting like animals�
when its blood we smell,


all around things are falling down,
but no one wants to hear the sound,
it seems as if this world's hell bound,
as we�re treading water hoping not to drown,


come on now good people ain't it time to rise,
stand up for something before we hit our demise,
searching for greener grass or bluer skies,
just don�t keep turning those blind eyes,

don�t let them tell you it has to be this way,
who the hell are they to get to say,
that we all just have to fall in line,
come on now people were running out of time,

there's a voice you been hearing for too long,
it's been telling you that something�s wrong,
come on now child wont you sing along,
we all know that it won�t be long,

i'll be your tarzan...

I'll be your Tarzan baby,
won't you be my Jane,
we'll build us a fire,
dance within the flame,

come on now girl,
let me wake up that wildside,
i'll promise you one thing,
you won't wanna get off this ri'i'ide,

we'll sit out in the woods,
making those mud pies,
think about it darlin,
when's the last time you felt ali'i'ive,


I'll be your Tarzan baby,
won't you be my Jane,
we'll build us a fire,
dance within the flame,

come on now girl,
let me wake up that wildside,
we'll wake up those instincts,
buried down deep inside,

we'll sit out in the woods,
making those mud pies,
think about it darlin,
when's the last time you felt ali'i'ive,

I'll be your Tarzan babe,
won't you be my Jane,
we'll build us a fire,
dance within the flame,

when she told me she dont love me anymore

ohhhh, jack daniels and cooooo'caine,
what i used to use to numb the pain,
but i aint felt a god damn thing,
since that awful day last spring,
since she told me she dont love me anymore,

ohhhh i guess she must'a broke my heart,
ripped it out, tore it apart,
flushed it right on down the drain,
cause i aint felt a god damn thing,
since she told me she dont love me anymore,

yeeeaaaahh, we all know i had my wilder side,
rip this town apart from side to side,
but even then i sometimes cried,

but i guess something must have died,
yes something deep inside,
cause I ain’t felt a god damn thing,
since that awful day last spring,
when she told me she don’t love me anymore,

ohhhaaaaahhhhh, jaaaaaaaack daniels and cooooo'caaaaaine,
i still use them just the same,
but lately they dont numb a god damn thing,
since that awful day last spring,
when she told me she dont love me anymore,

(...slower mumbling...)
since she told me she don’t love me anymore,
ooohhhhh she don’t love me anymore,
that night she walked right out the door,
she broke my heart that god damn whore,
now my life is such a bore,
cause i don’t feel a thing no more,

(..back to rock out ...)

since that awful day last spring,
when sheeeee tooollllddddd meeeeee, sheeeee don’t lovvvvvveeeee meeeeeeeee anyyyyyyymooooooooorrrrrrreeee, ahhhhehhhhhhhhhhaowwwwww,

people like you

bottle of jack daniels.. tucked under my seat,
as i drive through the checkpoint.. no shoes on my feet,
sheriff staring down at me... just shakes his head,
says boy you know better... than to be with her again,

i keep saying that i'll change.. but i never do,
sometimes i think the only way... that i make it through,
is by thanking God for bloody mary's... and people like you...

cause i hang around,
with all the wrong people,
we hang around,
in all the wrong crowds,
we hang around... oh-ohhh-ohhhh,
yes we hang around....

Neo-conservative, Rhino’s and Socialist, im telling y'all it’s all the same,
they keep spending their time chasing leaders down them same great big ol’ mountains of shame,


One taking my money to give to their charities that of which I get no say,
The other policing my bedroom and social habits, you cant tell me there’s no other way,
Choosing between left and right doesn’t seem to leave me with anything id call a choice,
im thinking that maybe for people like me, it’s about damn time we had a voice,
For free minded thinkers like me,


Neo-conservative, Rhino’s and Socialist, to me really it’s all the same,
spend their time chasing their great leaders down them same mountains of shame,
back and forth in their rodeo, where it stops no one knows, but I’ll tell you who’s not to blame,


Liberty minded, non bigoted believers that freedom is the only way,
Those that don’t judge others by their own standards, only wish that they'd do the same,
It’s not hard to see people, come on now what do you say,


Neo-conservative, Rhino’s and Socialist, you know really it’s all the same,
spend their time chasing their sacred leaders down them same great big ol’ mountains of shame,
back and forth in their rodeo, where it stops no one knows, but I’ll tell you who’s not to blame,


Intellectually grounded, philosophically sounded,
conspiracy minded, not color blinded, protestors of hypocrisy,
peace loving, freedom fighting, believers in responsibility,
sound money minded, not politically blinded, liberty lovers like me,
yeah gun toting, pot smoking, garden growing, home schooling,
liberty lovers like meeeeeeee'eeee'eeeeeeeee,

ive been shooting whiskey, youve been sipping gin

ive been shooting down this whiskey,
you been sipping on that gin,
all those stories that your telling me,
they keep somehow turning back to him,

i can tell your thinking of him,
but from the way your looking at me,
i can tell were getting into something,
that we really shouldnt be,

if i was a stronger man i'd walk away,
if i was a smarter man i'd run,
but since im only this same damn fool,
i think ill stay and have myself some fun,

god damn it girl your beautiful your body's so damn fine,
and i cant even keep my eyes on it as im so lost in your eyes,
with every shot of whiskey it just gets a little more clear,
that tomorrows hangover isnt all im taking home from here,

that there ring on your left hand well girl its got to go,
and lets just get lost in this night before we hit the road,

the lonely road back home...


mama bear don’t you know that I love you,
I can’t wait to come back home,
I’ve been out here on this damn road,
I’ve been gone for way to long,

I can smell that supper cook-in’,
taste those baked beans on my tongue,
It’s the only thing that’s got me through,
these lonely nights out on the run,


record man took me down to nashville,
said he gonna make me into a star,
I can still hear the words you told me,
son don’t you forget who you are,

Lord I made me a lot of money,
and I done pissed it all away,
as if the whiskey wasn’t bad enough,
they introduced me to co’-caine,

Lord all the women and the wild nights,
we sure had us quite a time,
but it seemed that the wilder that it got,
the more i seemed to die inside,


mama bear don’t you know that I love you,
and I can’t wait to come back home,
I’ve been out here on this damn road,
I’ve been gone for way to long,

I can see daddy sitting on that porch swing,
counting every drop of rain,
he was never much for talking,
what he didn’t say said everything,


oh i never forgot where it was i came from,
i just got caught up in the ride,
seems the more that I got,
the harder it was that i'd cry,

i was headed for disaster,
when I fell down on my knees,
and i’m not saying i got any better,
just that it gave me some relief,


mama bear don’t you know that I love you,
I can’t wait to come back home,
I’ve been out here on this damn road,
I’ve been gone for way to long,

i can smell that supper cookin',
taste them baked beans on my toungue,
it's the only thing that gets me through,
these lonely nights out on the run,


yeah the farther away that I went,
the less I felt the need to roam,
yeah I guess you have to go away,
before you can ever come back home,

mama bear don’t you know that I love you,
and I can’t wait to come back home,
oh sweet lord I’m coming home,
ohhhh-ohhhh dear mama I’m coming home,

I’ve been in the prison way to long,
yes please country roads wont you lead me home,
get supper cooking I’m coming home,
ohhhh-ooohhhhh-ohhhh, your baby boys a coming home,
oh mountain mama I’m coming hoooooo’’’ooo’’’aaaaaoooo’mmmmmme,

the hand that taught me wrong from right...

i still remember the first time i got myself a tast of daddy's belt,
caught trying to walk out the store with that skoal can lord all the pain i felt,
nothing hurt me half as much that night,
as the tears i saw rolling down the cheek the same as mine,

looking back
i dont think there's
any better way for a man
to be taught wrong from right,

no sir
i cant think of a better way
than the way that i ,
the way that i was taught that night,

i say god bless the hand,
yes god done blessed the hand,
the hand that taught be wrong from right,

who i am...

sometimes i drink to much
and i end up falling down,
sometimes i get angry at the world,
and get a little loud,
and the places that i chose to hang,
typically have a rowdy crowd,

there are days that i wake up
and just want to fight the world,
for everything thats wrong with it
my blood it just get curled,

i sure love raising hell,
just to see the look on everyones face,
ive just never been any good at
fitting in to their rat race,

but a cane pole and a river bank,
a cold budlight or the 8 more i drank,
can find a way to calm me down,
or the sweet picking of an old guitar,
i just love the way it sounds,


i always try to help everyone any chance i can,
if your broke down on the side of the road,
well you can bet damn sure that im your man,

i never offer handouts,
but ill always offer a helpin hand,
and thats all you need to know,
if your wondering who i am,

on sunday mornings i go see mama,
some times we go to church,
sometimes satruday night makes that hard
cause damn my head does hurt,

my friends they all know who to come see
anytime that they are down,
do what i can to make them laugh,
never shy to play the clown,

ive never backed down from a fight,
no that ain't how i was raised,
ive always stood tall and took my knots
all throughout my days,

i definitely havent won them all,
but ive always made my stand,
and thats all you need to know
if your wondering who i am,

ive never been any good
at having anyone tell me what to do,
if i didnt always listen to ma and dad,
what makes you think ill listen to you,

i just like to lead my life
the best way that i see fit,
and if i aint hurting anyone,
you need to just stay the hell out of it,


maybe if we spent a little less time in our lives
telling others how to live,
we might find more time to do a little more,
and help the world with what we can give,

i might not know where my life will lead,
but everyone knows where i stand,
and thats all you need to know,
if your wondering who i am,
