how i feel tonight

I've been on the upside of down... on the wrong side of right...
and every place... that is in... between,
I've been running from demons... been chasing down stars...
searching for something... that they say's... a dream,
but it seems wherever i ended up... no matter where it is... that i go,
something, that just doesn't feel quite right,
but baby... looking at you... i just want you to know,
that ain't how... i feel tonight.....

hold on tight

i said baby just hold on tight,
everything is gonna be alright,
it's going to be a wild ride, but that's the only ride i've ever known,
so just come over here,
let my shoulders wipe away your tears,
where we will end up, how will get there, there aint no way to know,

but darling don't you fear,
wipe away the dust and you'' see it's all so clear,

that it's gonna be alright,
all you have to do is hold on tight,
t's going to be a wild ride, but that's the only ride i've ever known,
so just come over here,
let my kisses drown away your fears,
where we will end up, how will get there, there aint no way to know,

Don't make you country

That  Cowboyhat don't make country 

A real cowboy don't got no shiny boots

It ain't about getting cowboy up on Friday night, after spending all week in a suit

I grew up fishing wasn't just pastime

It was about getting your family a meal 

And I'm thinking it's about time someone got to explaining, what's so wrong with this new deal

It's more about mud and blood and blisters and far less about to close you wear

And brother that somehow offended you, I hope you don't think I really care

Yeah I know lots of good people, struggling just to get their families by,

Meanwhile you're driving around in your excursion looking down your nose and I ask you why

You think you can call yourself country, cause your pop song has a little metal or steel guitar

And that they let this stuff on the Opry 

where Hank Williams blessed that very stage

Well that's the kind of stuff that I can get the putting, this old boy in a fit of rage

Feeling you

I know what I'm feeling as I've never felt something so true, and there ain't nothing right now that I'm feeling, that ain't feeling you

there's something broken between our borders, it ain't right the way we treat each other, dont we know this is still our home,
you've got to take care of yourself first, your neighbor next, and tell the government to leave us all the hell alone....

I've been there...

I've been high, I've been low, I've been everyplace between,
I've been searching for an answer, i've been chasing down a dream,
ohhh, I've been there.... yes, I've been there,

at the bottom of a bottle, close enough to drown,
running from my demons, roaming town to town,
yes, I've been there, whooo-ohhh, I've been there,

slaving for a dollar in a souless corporate career,
hating every minute, but staying out of fear,
ohh, I've been there, whoo-ohhh, I've been there,

listenin' to a choir, in a backseat church house pew,
hungover sunday morning.... it helped me get through,
whooo-ohhh, I've been there...yes, I've been there....

so before you go looking down your eyes at me,
thinking your high and mighty let me tell you one thing,
ohhh, I've been there, yeah-eahhh, I've been there,

I've been on top of the mountain, I've slept in a ditch,
been bucked off a bronco, been poor I've been rich,
yes, I've been there, whooo-ohhh, I've been there,

I've been running from my demons, I've been wanted by the law,
I've been hoping for a reason, I've been waiting for a call,
yes, I've been there, whoo-ohhh, I've been there....

Just start trying

I want you to head on down the road, find somebody to share your load, go ahead and step on someone's toes and say I'm sorry...

Cause this world was made for love, and we ain't taking or giving enough, so it's time we give up on pride, and just start trying...
