The Charlie Daniels Band

We got some trouble in our own back yard.
Things are are kinda tough, times are kinda hard.
Got a lot of people livin' out in the street, people goin' hungry without nothin' to eat,
and in this land of plenty, this souldn't be goin' on.
We got enough for everybody we just gonna have to pass it along.
Well I'm glad about the fall of communism, I'm glad about the
Berlin wall, and I like seein' old Saddam bite the dust, in fact I'm glad about it all.
And I believe in helping everybody,
but when it comes to all them foreign loans,
I think we oughta remember that charity begins at home.

Yes it starts right now in (America, America,)
I know the sun is risin' on a better day.
(America, America,) we got the power and we know the way.
(America, America,) well let me say a few words about the Red, White, and Blue.
(America, America,) I know you're gonna do it I believe in you.

Now I been tryin' to figure this out, but there's somethin' that I just don't know.
How can you make things better when you
take our jobs, and send 'um down to Mexico?
And then there was this big shot, from the land of the risin' sun.
He said the workin' people in America were lazy and dumb.
Well let me tell you somethin' Jack.
The next time I go on a shopping trip, and take somethin' off of the rack,
if it don't say, "Made in the U.S.A." I'm just gonna put it back.
We can't leave it to the politicians, cause they don't do nothin' but talk,
and it's we the people that are gonna have to walk the walk.

And we can do it right now in (America, America,)
hey I know the sun is risin' on a better day.
(America, America,) yeah we got the power and we know the way.
(America, America,) now let me say a few words about the Red, White, and Blue.
(America, America,) I know you're gonna do it I believe in you.

Well we got the best dang farmers in the whole wide world.
The fastest horses and the prettiest girls. We got the Army, the
Navy, Air Force, and Marines, the mightiest fightin' force the world's ever seen.
We the kinda people that can get thins done,
We're servin' notice that we're still number one.
We got the nerve (We got the nerve.), we got the will,
(We got the will.), we are all together cause you know that we are still.

(America, America,) well I know the sun is risin' it's a risin' on a better day.
(America, America,) hey, hey we got the power and we know the way.
(America, America,) now let me say a few words about the Red, White, and Blue.
(America, America,) cause I believe in you.

See that man in the field over yonder
With dirt on his hands and a loan on his back
He's the man that puts the food on your table
He's the man that grows the clothes on your back
Were running a mile out of the house he was born in
Tending on the sidelines and watching him fall
Selling his land to the big corporations
What you gonna do when they get it all

He's been rolled for sure treated like a outlaw
Turned down sold out, put out to graze
He's been pushed you know when he can push no more
It gets a little harder everyday

[chorus]
He's the American farmer
And he damn hard to beat
Better wake up America, wake up America
Coz if the man don't work then the people don't eat

He's sending the high tech stuff of to Russia
I can't figure what where doing it for
We should be sending the wheat and meat and cotton
Coz a loaf of bread never started no war
See that man in the middle of city
Eatin' outta garbage cans, sleepin' in the street
See that baby, moping in the kitty
To make ends meet

It's a damn disgrace on the face of America
Hungry people everywhere you go
Children in Africa starving by the fields
While the land lays fallow and the banks foreclose

[chorus]

He's an American, he's an American, he's an American, American farmer
Never him through
Coz if he goes down swinging
You better know where gonna go down swinging to

[chorus]
I said the people don't eat
I said the people don't eat

Boylan

Here you are again, and here I go
Down the same old street I already know
That same sweet voice and those same old lies
I'm drawn into the world behind your eyes.

CHORUS
And I try to run away
But I know it's only a try
'Cause everything I could ever want
Is there behind your eyes,
Behind your eyes.

Seeing you again and it all comes down
Thinking how it was the first time around
And when I feel that feeling again
I have no chance, I must give in.

In the southern part of Texas, east and west of El Paso
Where the mighty Franklin Mountains guard the trail to Mexico
There's a new-made widow crying and a hearse a-rollin' slow
I guess the devil's passed this way again.

There's a lathered sorrel stallion running through the Joshua trees
And a young man in the saddle with his coat tails in the breeze.
He's got a six gun on his right hip and a rifle at his knees
And he's dealing in a game that he can't win.

Chorus:
Poor Billy Bonney, you're only 21,
Pat Garrett's got your name on every bullet in his gun.
Every notch you carve on your six gun
Has a bloody tale to tell.
You're a mile ahead of Garrett and a step outside of Hell.

Those fancy clothes you're wearin' and the women in your bed
Can't take away the traces of the men that you've left dead
As you ride across the badlands with a price upon your head
And now the Wheel of Fortune starts to turn.

Your reputation's grown 'til it's the biggest in the land
And there ain't a lot of people left who want to call your hand
And I guess you'll go down shootin' and like all branded men
When you shake hands with the devil you get burned.

Chorus:
Poor Billy Bonney, you're only 21,
Pat Garrett's got your name on every bullet in his gun.
Every notch you carve on your six gun
Has a bloody tale to tell.
You're a mile ahead of Garrett and a step outside of Hell.

Daniels-Lynne

Sittin' here in L.A., looking down at my shoes
Drownin' my troubles on small talk & blues
Sittin' here wonderin' if I could have been born to lose

I think movin is losin and now I can see
I let a false hearted woman make a fool outta me
And now all I got left now is a bad case of Birmingham Blues

Chorus:
Days are alright
I can't take these, L.A. nights
This place is a jungle when a man's on his own
I wish I could go home

Had me a fine woman down in Birmingham town
Took care of my money and she didn't play around
All I got left now is a bad case of Birmingham Blues

Chorus

Instrumentals

Repeat 1st verse

Repeat 2nd verse

On a cold concrete sidewalk, on the corner of Fifth and Main
Sits an old black blind man, and no one knows his name.
He plays the same old guitar, he plays the same old tune
And when the people pass him by, some are heard to say
“Play, let the blind man play”.

He was a cotton picker down in Alabam’
Daddy never amounted to much; died by his own hand
He lost his sight one terrible night by the hand of the Ku Klux Klan
Burned his eyes with a branding iron some are heard to say;

Play, let the blind man play
Maybe you’ll be around another day
Dreamin’ about those little things you know you’ll never see
So play, let the blind man play, let the blind man play!

The years were kind while the man was blind, but he knew his time was due
And no one cried when the blind man died, with the name that no one knew
They made his coffin outta knotty pine, with a wreath of laurel too
His epitaph was short and sweet, and all it said was "Play".

Play, let the blind man play
Maybe you’ll be around another day
Dreamin’ about those little things you know you’ll never see
So play, let the blind man play, let the blind man play
Maybe you’ll be around another day
Dreamin’ about those little things you know you’ll never see
So play, let the blind man play, let the blind man play

Play that guitar blind man!

> Ill have a blue christmas without you
Ill be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green christmas tree
Wont be the same dear, if youre not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start falling
Thats when those blue memories start calling
Youll be doin all right, with your christmas of white
But Ill have a blue, blue blue blue christmas

(instrumental break)

Youll be doin all right, with your christmas of white,
But Ill have a blue, blue christmas

"Blue Star"

Blue star over my shoulder
Blue star, can't you see?
Blue star, it's a little colder
She's gone away from me

And I wish I'd never seen her with the sunlight in her eyes
And I wish I'd never learned the game she played
And I wish I'd never listened when she told me all the lies
And I wish I'd never seen her walk away

She was everything I wanted
She was sweet mystery
Blue star, every night I hold it
She's gone away from me

And I wish I'd never seen her with the sunlight in her eyes
And I wish I'd never learned the game she played
And I wish I'd never listened when she told me all the lies
And I wish I'd never seen her walk away

Dark eyes shining like two diamonds filled with fire
Dark hair blowing in the wind of hot desire
Red lips pulling me now

Dark eyes glowing like two diamonds filled with fire
Dark hair blowing in the wind of hot desire

Blue star over my shoulder
Blue star, can't you see?
Blue star, it's a little colder
She's gone away from me

And I wish I'd never seen her with the sunlight in her eyes
And I wish I'd never learned the game she played
And I wish I'd never listened when she told me all the lies
And I wish I'd never seen her walk away
And I wish I'd never seen her walk away

"Boogie Woogie Fiddle Country Blues"

Every time I hear a fiddle and it's cookin' just a little
Well it makes me want to jump up and run
And if he's sawing with some soul boogie woogie rock n' roll
Well I know I'm gonna have some fun
And when the resin starts to fly and I'm looking in the eye
Like I'm just about to blow a fuse
Mama call the doctor 'cause your boy has got

The rocking Boogie Woogie Fiddle Country Blues

I met a man from Tenessee this is what he said to me
He said music is a rhapsody
He picked up his violin stuck it underneath his chin
And started playing me a symphony
I said that ain't the way it's done let me see that fiddle son
And I sawed him off a chorus or two
He said you'd better call the doctor 'cause I think I've got

The rocking Boogie Woogie Fiddle Country Blues

Now if you want to play me some fiddle
I'll tell you right from the start
You'd better play me something lowdown hoedown honking
I don't want to hear no funeral march
It's got to pick me up and roll me over
It's got to make me want to jump up and sing
If it ain't buzzing like a beehive, kick it into overdrive
Or it don't mean a doggone thing
So let me resin up my bow and I think I can show you
The way I like to play this thing
Let's put some boogie rhythm in it kick it on up to the limit
I'm gonna put some fire on these strings
And if you feel your feet start moving to the beat
And you feel like you've got ants in your shoes
Well you'd better call the doctor 'cause you've probably got

The rocking Boogie Woogie Fiddle Country Blues

Every time I hear a fiddle and it's cookin' just a little
Well it makes me want to jump up and run
And if he's sawing with some soul boogie woogie rock 'n roll
Well I know I'm gonna have some fun
And when the rosin starts to fly and I'm lookin' in the eye
Like I'm just about to blow a fuse

"Caballo Diablo"

Wild as a coastal boranca, swift as the wind blowin' free
With two eyes like fire brands that glow in the night
Somewhere up there he's waitin' for me
And he knows that I'm coming for him
I just can't rest 'til I find
That raven black stallion, who wears no man's brand
With a wild restless spirit like mine

They call him Caballo Diablo
Half horse and half devil they say
Caballo Diablo the outlaw
Of the blanca Sierra Madre

Two men before tried to take him
They had their chance one by one
But each met his fate when those flashin' black hooves
Brought death 'neath the Mexican sun
Still I can't leave I must find him
You fool of a horse can't you see
I may be half man, but the other half's devil
And you're just exactly like me

(refrain)

Even the breeze has stopped movin'
Hush now - be still
Don't make a sound and stay close to the ground
Cause he's waitin' just over that hill
Downwind behind him move quickly
Do it fast now, he's startin' to stir
Grab a hand full of mane and up onto his back
And start breaking him down with my spurs
But try as he will he can't shake me
As over the preface we go
To spill the lifes blood of a horse and a man
On the rocky Sierra below

(refrain)

Cumberland Mountain Number Nine

Baby don't ya cry 'cause momma's coming home
Poppa goin' bring you back some chitlins and some corn
Last frost done took its loss right down to the bone
We're lucky we still got room to roam

Goin' there to here is almost at a halt
Don't you go off blaming God, you know it ain't his fault
One time when life was fine someone found the wine
Cumberland Mountain Number Nine

That still was the best damn still they ever did make
Wouldn't stand for nothing less, stand for no mistake
Last Fall we made a haul and filled the limestone mine
Cumberland Mountain Number Nine

Chorus
Winter come a change
Spring bring the rain
We weren't meant to stay the same
One thing for sure
We done found the cure,
Cumberland Mountain Number Nine

Black coal from the strip mine way up north at Jellico
Kept the brew running smooth along the Thunder Road
Way back down in Bear Tree Gap the devil's juice flowed fine
Cumberland Mountain Number Nine

The FB- and the TV- I had followed us for years
Eventually they got the scent and nabbed us by the hair
Man said son I'll blow up everything between your ears
You got to face bout 20 years.

Chorus
Winter come a change
Spring bring the rain
We weren't meant to stay the same
And now from this cell
I've a story to tell....
Cumberland Mountain Number Nine
Cumberland Mountain Number Nine

He's the loosest dude I've ever been exposed to
He loves the bottle and a dirty joke
He likes to hang out on the street
And he'd rather fight than eat
And his nose and the women keep him broke

He's been in every jail from here to Juarez
And every funky old backstreeet saloon
He's a victim of his fate
Born a hundred years too late
And sometimes I think
A hundred years too soon

He's a outlaw, He's a bum
He's a rounder and then some
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be
He ain't ever gonna be no different
He's a damn good cowboy
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee

He didn't finish school or go to college
When he turned 16 he just had to go
And while everyone who did
Was building homes and having kids
He was out West ridin' in some rodeo

He got busted up in Cheyenne last September
And he had to get his hat and pack his trunk
And he came on back to town,
He just kinda hangs around
He's the local hero and the local drunk

He's a outlaw, He's a bum
He's a rounder and then some
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be
He ain't ever gonna be no different
He's a damn good cowboy
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee

You may think he's a little crazy
And you may think that where he's at's nowhere
And in your righteous sight,
You just might be right
But he damn sure did have fun gettin' there

He's a outlaw, He's a bum
He's a rounder and then some
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be
And if you don't like him you won't like me either
He's a damn good cowboy
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee

He's the loosest dude I've ever been exposed to
He loves the bottle and a dirty joke
He likes to hang out on the street
And he'd rather fight than eat
And his nose and the women keep him broke

He's been in every jail from here to Juarez
And every funky old backstreeet saloon
He's a victim of his fate
Born a hundred years too late
And sometimes I think
A hundred years too soon

He's a outlaw, He's a bum
He's a rounder and then some
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be
He ain't ever gonna be no different
He's a damn good cowboy
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee

He didn't finish school or go to college
When he turned 16 he just had to go
And while everyone who did
Was building homes and having kids
He was out West ridin' in some rodeo

He got busted up in Cheyenne last September
And he had to get his hat and pack his trunk
And he came on back to town,
He just kinda hangs around
He's the local hero and the local drunk

He's a outlaw, He's a bum
He's a rounder and then some
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be
He ain't ever gonna be no different
He's a damn good cowboy
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee

You may think he's a little crazy
And you may think that where he's at's nowhere
And in your righteous sight,
You just might be right
But he damn sure did have fun gettin' there

He's a outlaw, He's a bum
He's a rounder and then some
He's as ornery as a redneck fool can be
And if you don't like him you won't like me either
He's a damn good cowboy
And I hope to hell he stays in Tennessee

There's a harvest moon and the stars are bright
(Dance gypsy dance)
There's a little bit of frost on the grass tonight
(Dance gypsy dance)
Over in the meadow hid away from them all
Dance all night to the fiddle's call
Down by the river where the trees grow tall
(Dance gypsy dance)
I know about you and I know where you've been
(Dance gypsy dance)
You stole some money from a crippled man
(Dance gypsy dance)
Then you hit him in the head with a walkin' cane
Pushed him outside in the freezin' rain
But I bet you wouldn't ever do that again
(Dance gypsy dance)

Turnin' Turnin'
Round the fire
Burnin', Burnin'
Higher and Higher

Now you gotta reckon with the dead man's son
(Lay gypsy lay)
He's headed this way with a bullet in his gun
(Pray, gypsy, pray)
Yeah, the hangin' mob is ridin' all night
But they can't be here till tomorrow night
And you'll be gone by the morning light
(Dance gypsy dance)

Turnin' Turnin'
Round the fire
Burnin' Burnin'
Higher and Higher


And a shot rang out in the midnight breeze
(Dance gypsy dance)
From a Winchester rifle back in the trees
(Dance gypsy dance)

And nobody moved and nobody spoke
But way down yonder by the hollow oak
Hangin' up there by the end of that rope
(Dance gypsy dance)

Over in the meadow hid away from them all
Dance all night to the fiddle's call
Down by the river where the trees grow tall
(Dance gypsy dance)

"Dixie On My Mind"

It rained all night in Frisco and my sleeping bag got soaked
I woke up this morning, I was cold and wet and broke
I lit up my last cigarette at the California line
But I got Dixie on my mind

I flagged down a semi going into Denver town
It was snowing in them Rockies and he had to shut her down
And them Colorado Rocky Mountains sure are lookin' fine
But I got Dixie on my mind

Well, I got me a ride through Texas on a flat bed diesel truck
He said, "Where are you going?", I said "It don't matter much"
Just drop me anywhere below that Mason Dixon line
'Cause I got Dixie on my mind

I love that sippin' whiskey, Carolina Mountain Dew
And them Alabama hotcakes and that Georgia burnin' stew
I'm crazy about magnolia trees and honeysuckle vines
And I got Dixie on my mind

Just drop me anywhere below that Mason Dixon line
'Cause I got Dixie on my mind
I got Dixie on my mind

* Sitting on a bar stool
Acting like a dern fool
That's what I'm a doin' today
I'm sittin' here drinkin'
Tryin' to keep a thinking I'm crusin' my troubles away
Well now I couldn't make her stay
Well dog gone her anyway
She can't say that I didn't try-hi-hi
Poor me another one I'm finished with the other one
I'm drinkin' my baby goodbye

Everytime we disagree she was always asking me
Are you a man or a mouse?
Now that she's gone she probably thinks that I'm home just a moping around the house
She probably thinks that she's the one thing I just couldn't get along without
Well wouldn't this surprise her
I gotta sympathise her as long as these bottles hold out

Well I'm a [Repeat *]

Everytime I tried to sit down and talk with her it always ended up in a fuss
I tried to reason with her right up till the time that she got on that Grayhound bus
It'ad be better if I just forget if 'cause she sure forgot about me
And if it takes all night I'm gonna do it right
I'm gonna sit here till I can't see

Well I'm a [Repeat *]

Well I'm a [Repeat *]

I said to pour me another one I'm finished with the other one.
I'm drinking my baby goodbye
I said to pour me another one I'm finished with the other one.
I'm drinking my baby goodbye

He was nobly born
Had a spanish bull's horn
And not one scar on his hansom face

He stood like a prince
And he had ever since
He had grandly walked into the place

Though the girls of Madrid
Tonight were forbid
For tomorrow he must fight once more

Before he left the bar
He would dance with them all
Cause he was El Toreador

The day of the feast
Was just a lie in the east
When he left Maria's warm bed

Her dark eyes said more
But he walked through the door
Shaking cobwebs of dreams from his head

And later that day
As he knelt to pray
He said God grant me this nothing more

If it is the way
And I must die today
Let me die like a Toreador

The pageant he chose
Shook from the roar
As the band played the Toreador's theme

Alarmed by the sound
The bull paws the ground
As the Toreador enters the ring

Up and down, round and round
On and on, all alone

The Plaza del Toros
Shook from the roar
As the band played the Toreador's theme

Alarmed by the sound
The bull paws the ground
As the Toreador enters the ring

Up and down,
Round and round
On and on, all alone

The shouts of ole
In the heat of the day
Rushed the hot blood to his Spanish heart

And the crowd held their breath
As he flirted with death
And the bull fighter's sword found it's mark

And trying to hide
The wound in his side
He walked from the ring standing tall

And a crowd gathered round
As he fell to the ground
A priest held his hand
Where he lay in the sand
And he was heard to say
A brave bull died today
But he died like a Toreador

Thinks he's a toughguy
Superfly
Stays high
Sneakin down the alleyway to make another buy

Talkin bout a big deal
Big wheel
Nothins real
Wouldn't know the truth if it looked him in the eye

Sneakin out the back door
Top floor
Dirt poor
You know the boys gonna get himself in jail

Living on the back street
Concrete
Fast speed
Lost in the jungle with the tiger by the tail

Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's just barely getting by
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's down there getting high

Midnight siren
Whats it mean
Bad dreams
Shiverin and shakin in the middle of the night

Down in a cold sweat
In debt
Upset
Hidin in the back room to keep ot of sight

Walkin that tough walk
Jivetalk
Double cross
Sneakin down the side street hidin from the sun

Makin them big plans
Big man
Be this man
Gonna make a million but he never gets it done

Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's just barely getting by
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's down there getting high

Thinks he's a loverboy
Super joy
Tough toy
Thinks he's kinda sexy but the ladies say he ain't

Nothing but a no class
Jiveass
Movin fast
Wants to be a winner but the monkey says he can't

After hours nightspot
Whatcha got
Hot shot
Gotta keep movin just to keep from going down

The boy won't ever learn
Slow burn
Overturn
End up in a coffin there six feet in the ground

Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's just barely getting by
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's down there getting high

Well, her name was Maria
She came from [unverified]
She had a passion for diamonds and gold
She done broke every heart
In Flueto bi Arta
By the time she was eighteen years old

Then she left for Las Vegas
With Senor Rodreguez
She didn't care what anybody would think
And when she came back
She had two Cadillacs and a mink

Well, he came from Kentucky
All the boys called him 'Lucky'
He loved to ramble around and have fun
A wild-eyed joker with a talent for poker
And a good lookin' son of a gun

Strong as a bear
Kinda devil may care
But he had a weakness, alright
For good lookin' ladies
And falling in love for the night

He met Maria in a small bar in Mexico City
Where him and his buddies had gone
Down to see the bullfight

He took on look in those flashy brown eyes
And said, "Here we go again"

When these high powered lovers
Got a look at each other
They thought it was love at first sight
They danced and got high
And then by and by

She came up to his room for the night
Then that high-totin' mama
Left for Yokohana
With a millionaire from San Antone
And when Lucky woke up
His loot and his lady were gone

Now he sits in Louisville drownin'
In sour mash whiskey
While she rides through the streets
Of Juarez in a long limousine

She took his pride
And a whole lot besides
And she just don't give a damn

I guess that's what you get
For fallin' in love for the night
I guess that's what you get
For fallin' in love for the night

Well, her name was Maria
She came from [unverified]
She had a passion for diamonds and gold
She done broke every heart
In Flueto bi Arta
By the time she was eighteen years old

Then she left for Las Vegas
With Senor Rodreguez
She didn't care what anybody would think
And when she came back
She had two Cadillacs and a mink

Well, he came from Kentucky
All the boys called him 'Lucky'
He loved to ramble around and have fun
A wild-eyed joker with a talent for poker
And a good lookin' son of a gun

Strong as a bear
Kinda devil may care
But he had a weakness, alright
For good lookin' ladies
And falling in love for the night

He met Maria in a small bar in Mexico City
Where him and his buddies had gone
Down to see the bullfight

He took on look in those flashy brown eyes
And said, "Here we go again"

When these high powered lovers
Got a look at each other
They thought it was love at first sight
They danced and got high
And then by and by

She came up to his room for the night
Then that high-totin' mama
Left for Yokohana
With a millionaire from San Antone
And when Lucky woke up
His loot and his lady were gone

Now he sits in Louisville drownin'
In sour mash whiskey
While she rides through the streets
Of Juarez in a long limousine

She took his pride
And a whole lot besides
And she just don't give a damn

I guess that's what you get
For fallin' in love for the night
I guess that's what you get
For fallin' in love for the night

Jamming down the highway, feeling no pain
Mother nature, two wheels and a chain
It's good to be alive and brighter
Whisper in my ear, girl, hold on a little tighter

You know it's alright. living and lovin every day and night
Thankin' the lord for the music in me
Piece of mind and feeling free

Soon I'll be on the road, pickin guitar
Knowing that my home ain't very far
But don't you worry sweet thing cause you know I'll be there
To kiss my tennessee girl with the long golden hair

Repeat chorus

Crain

Franklin Limestone, always been my home
I was born in Nashville, a place I call my own
Where the mountains, and the rivers, and the valleys
We were married, you and me

We were both so happy just being together
Like a possum in the wood
So please forgive me if I forget to tell you
What you mean to me

Hard cold winter took away my mother
Papa got the fever, Lord he said he couldn't leave her
You carried me through bad times, through the worst times
You were my driving wheel

We were both so happy just being together
Like a possum in the wood
So please forgive me if I forget to tell you
What you mean to me

Workin in a coal mine, slaving in the day time
Lookin to the Good Lord for any peace of mind
The feeling if you left me on that hillside
Would break this heart of mine

We were both so happy just being together
Like a possum in the wood
So please forgive me if I forget to tell you
Lord, what you mean to me

Daniels

You can dance around if you want to
But there’s some thing a man don’t wanna do
And if you see him comin’ walkin’ down the street
You better jump right Outta his way
Everyone knows it’s a street skit
Every time he comes to town
Coz he’s got somethin’ in his left hip
The blues down walk around

Funky-junky
Funky-junky

He’s on Missouri Boulevard
About a half o’ mile south of the graveyard
Better run an leap through funky old dirt
Go one don’t find no shame
This old muskrat barbeque
And a sweetness on the railroad track
He’s gotta tiger in his living room
He gotta monkey on his back

Funky-junky
Funky-junky

Lamps in the windows burnin' bright, over in Santa Fe tonight
Full moon shining down along the border
But the ground is hard and the night is black
Over here by the railroad track
And I wish to the Lord that I was back in Georgia

Blue water in the evening sun,
Calling me when the day is done
Mama, mama pray for your son

All of my life I've been told
That the LA streets was paved with gold
Fame and fortune waiting to reward ya
But it didn't take long to understand
California ain't the promised land
But at least a man's a man in Georgia

Blue skys in the mornin' there
And there's green trees and breathin' air
Rockabye in my easy chair

Well the St. Mary's River in the Georgia moonlight
Flowing under the Folkston Bridge
The sun comes up through the long leaf pine trees
Over 'round the Kingsland ridge
I may be here but my mind is still
About 90 miles north of Jacksonville

Well I may not make it, it's a long, long road
But mama I've paid all the debts I owe
And if I don't you know they gonna find me tryin'
They took my songs and they took my soul
They made me hard and they made me old
Hell I just been born, but I feel just like I'm dying

(refrain)

God Bless the Mother
Who brought up her baby boy
To believe that some things in this world
Are worth fighting for
The ones who raise the brave young men
Who're marchin' off to war
God Bless the Mother

God Bless the Father
Who taught his little girl
Freedom is a precious thing
And it's rare in this old world
The ones who wear their uniforms
Their land they proudly serve
God Bless the Father

[Chorus]
Christmas is a special time
When we want our loved ones near
There's a lot of lonesome homesick soldiers
Wishin' they were here
Lets say a prayer to the Lord Above
That they'll all be home next year
And the bells of Peace
Will Ring in the Holiday



God Bless America
We thank for the USA
We thank you for the Prince of Peace
Who was born on Christmas Day
And please protect our sons and daughters
In the land so far away
God Bless America

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Repeat third verse]

God Bless the Fathers

God Bless the Mothers

"High Lonesome"

Just you and me and a little white pup
Sittin' here waiting for the sun to come up
To keep the chill away
Drinkin' our coffee at the first crack of dawn
Watchin' a doe while she nuzzles her fawn
It's my favorite time of the day

CHORUS:
High Lonesome
God don't ever let this mountain change
High Lonesome
I hope you will always stay the same

Sometimes in the evening when everything's still
Sweet mountain music floats over the hill
On a laurel-scented breeze
Sometimes when nightbirds are scolding the mist
I think I might know where heaven is
It's just above the trees

CHORUS
High Lonesome
God don't ever let this mountain change
High Lonesome
I hope you will always stay the same

Watchin' my summertimes turnin' to falls
Seein' my song growing honest and tall
Keeps me satisfied
If I live forever or I die today
All I would ask is you just let me lay
Here on this mountainside

CHORUS
High Lonesome
God don't ever let this mountain change
High Lonesome
I hope you will always stay the same

Well the eagle's been flyin' slow
And the flag's been flyin' low
And a lotta people sayin' that America's
fixin' to fall
Well speakin' just for me
And some people from Tennessee
We've got a thing or two to tell you all
This lady may have stumbled
But she aint never failed
And if the Russians don't believe that
They can all go straight to hell
We're gonna put her feet back
On the path of righteousness and then
God bless America again
And you never did think
That it ever would happen again
( In America, did you )
You never did think
That we'd ever get together again
( We damn sure could )
Yeah, we're walkng real proud
And we're talkin' real loud again
( In America )
You never did think
That it ever would happen again
From The Sound up in Long Island
Out to San Francisco Bay
And everthing that's in between them
Is our own
And we may have done a little bit
Of fightin' amongst ourselves
But you outside people best leave us
alone
'Cause we'll all stick together
And you can take that to the bank
That's the cowboys and the hippies
And the rebels and and the yanks
You just go and lay your hand
On a Pittsburgh Steelers' fan
And I think you're gonna finally
understand

"It's My Life"

It's my life, God was the one to give it
And I ain't gonna let nobody tell me how to live it
It's my song, right or wrong
You can tag along or you can stay behind

They're my troubles
Don't you let them worry you none
'Cause when I signed on to be a man
I, I knew I was gonna have some

Like I say, go or stay either way
You ain't gonna change my life
You ain't gonna change my life

When I'm low down and I'm lazy
And I'm ragged but I'm real
And I ain't never been nobody's pride and joy
Yeah, and you can take a boy out of the country
But you can't take the country out of the boy

Well, it's my troubles
Now don't you let them worry you none
'Cause I signed on to be a man
I figured I was gonna have some

Like I say, go or stay either way
You ain't gonna change my life
You ain't gonna change my life

It's my song, right or wrong
You ain't gonna change my life
I said, it's my life
You ain't gonna change my life, oh no

On a clear night, many many years ago
Two weary strangers moving slow
Were looking for a place to stay

But there was no place
Though they traveled many miles
So Mary being great with Child
Lay down on the sweet smelling hay

And then a bright light fell from Heaven
As a special star shone bright
And three wise men from a foreign land
Came to worship Him that night

And in the clear night
You could hear the Angels sing
Praises to the newborn King
Jesus is the light of the world

And the Angels heralding the Holy Birth
Were singing peace to men on earth
Unto you is born a Son

And the shepherds
Though they had their flocks to tend
Journeyed unto Bethlehem
To behold the Holy One

And then the Boy grew up to be a Man
Come to set the captives free
Come to heal the sick and raise the dead
And to cause the blind to see

And the best part
Is even though He's gone away
He'll be coming back someday
Jesus is the light of the world

And the best part
Is even though He's gone away
He'll be coming back someday
Jesus is the light of the world
Jesus is the light of the world
Jesus is the light of the world

"Jitterbug"

He wears a zoot suit with a reet pleat
Drives a '36 Cord with a rumble seat
Now he's a Lord, he's a jitterbug
Scare the letters off a highway sign

He drinks beer and eats beanies
Chases it down with ol' Thunderbird wine
Carries brass knuckles and a .44
Runs a loan shark business and a Mary Jane store

He's a... he's a jitterbug; keeps movin', don't sit still
If the law don't get him, some gun-totin' irate husband will
Oh, oh, oh, ooh, ooh, ooh jitterbug, jitterbug

One day in September he stepped out of his Cord
Into the street to face a bullet spittin' Ford
Now he's jitterbug, just a name in the news
Said, "He finally paid the price. He finally paid his dues."

jitterbug, jitterbug, jitterbug, jitterbug
jitterbug, jitterbug, jitterbug, jitterbug

At a quarter half to four
You came sneaking through the door
Ain't no time for a married woman to get home
In your suede cotton dress
With your lipstick all the mess
You keep tellin' me, you ain't done nothing wrong

Baby, I've got news for you
I've been down that river too
And I think I know the story when I hear one
Yes and lady, just one more thing
Think you better give me back my ring
'Cause when you wake up to see then I'll be gone

Yeah, mama
There goin' be nobody here to keep you home

'Cause you've been cheating again, Juanita
Ain't no need tellin' me another lie
You've been cheating again Juanita
I can see the eagerness in your eyes

You just don't act like an innocent woman
And these crocodile tears are gonna cause you to drown
You've been cheating again, Juanita
I'm gonna do it may way, gonna take the highway down

You can have that fancy car, all I want is my guitar
You can have the bank account and all the rest
And I don't need your alibis, I got bigger fish to fry
Reservations on a jet plane heading west

Yeah, mama, little girl, you might as well
Just save your breath

'Cause you'll be cheating again, Juanita
Ain't no need tellin' me another lie
You'll be cheating again, Juanita
I can see the eagerness in your eyes

You just don't act like an innocent woman
And them crocodile tears are gonna cause you to drown
You've been cheating again, Juanita
Gonna do it my way, gonna take the highway down
You've been cheating again Juanita
Gonna do it my way, gonna take the highway down

Do it now, yeah, you've been cheating again , Juanita

In the heat of the battle
To the head army there stepped a man
He said,&nbsp;?I've been to the top of the liberty
And I've looked over the promised land?

He had no fear of death or evil
His skin was black and his name was King
He said I may not get there with you
But put your faith in God and let freedom ring

There was a tyrant strong and mighty
And he built his self a wall
He said,&nbsp;?This wall's gonna stand forever
No power on Earth is gonna make it fall?

But then the winds of change they started blowing
Like a free bird on the wing
And then the wall fell down with a sound like thunder
Let the free bird fly and let freedom ring

(Let freedom ring)
Throughout the northland out across the frozen Tundra
To the land of the midnight sun and the Eskimo

(Let freedom ring)
From Albuquerque across the sea to Greece and Turkey
And from Halifax down south to Mexico

(Let freedom ring)
From Carolina round the world to Indochina
From Seattle to Mobile and Abilene

(Let freedom ring)
Let freedom ring
(Let freedom ring)
Let freedom ring
Let it ring, let it ring, let it ring

Innocent blood was shed for freedom
In a faraway place called Tiennemen Square
'Cause the heavy hand of cruel oppression
Is so much more than a man can bear

But you can't chain a man forever
And your guns they don't mean a thing
'Cause they'll rise again in the cause of justice
Give the power to the people and let freedom ring

(Let freedom ring)
From Minnesota across the plains to North Dakota
And from Kennebunkport out to Kalamazoo

(Let freedom ring)
From Rome to Reno and from Tokyo to Moscow
And from Barcelona, Spain to Kathmandu

(Let freedom ring)
From Madagascar and from Berlin to Alaska
And from Liverpool to Perth to Aberdeen

(Let freedom ring)
Let freedom ring
(Let freedom ring)
Let freedom ring
Let it ring, let it ring, let it ring

Let's give thanks to God our Father
The author of our liberty
Gave us this land to protect and cherish
It's the home of the brave and it's the land of the free

Oh America, we love you
Sweet land of hope of thee we sing
And with our life's blood we will protect you
Let the eagle fly and let freedom ring

Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let it ring, let it ring
Let it ring, let it ring
Let freedom ring

When I was a boy on my daddys knee
thats when he said these words to me,
said listen to what I'm gonna tell you son,
and you can help the world go round.
dont climb no mountain cause you might slip,
and i know you'll drown if saving ships,
heres a gutair all shiny and red,
and it makes a magic sound.

roll, roll, let it roll,
let it flood down to your soul,
let it talk, let it swing,
play that music, let it ring.

now you can pick buddy holly,
chuck berry to, and you can do anything that you wanna do,
wont cause no harm, and never started no wars,
and it sounds like father rain.
they can call it county, they can call it rock,
but I'll play this supper till the day I drop,
if you got any troubles just tune on in
cause it'll ease away your pain.

roll, roll, let it roll,
let it flood down to your soul,
let it talk, let it swing,
play that music, let it ring.

some folks get them college degrees,
and then they open up an office
and they charge big fees,
I never was good for much at all,
except for playin kinda loud.
I could feel it in my feet, hear it in my head,
I even played that music when I'm laying in bed,
it never did get me anywhere at all, but it makes me kinda proud.

roll, roll, let it roll,
let it flood down to your soul,
let it talk, let it swing,
play that music, let it ring.

come on and roll, roll, let it roll,
let it flood down to your soul,
let it talk, let it swing,

Well there's a peach tree on a hill in northern Georgia
Where a teenage boy sits staring at the ground.
Soon he'll leave to join the rebel soldiers
for the Cumberland and Nashville he is bound.

He goes down to ride with the Bedford Forrest Calv'ry
He can shoot a man at a hunnert yards or more
But he knows he's just like any other soldier.
If they spill his blood he'll never ride no more.

Don't you know I'm just a lonesome boy from Dixie.
Help me Lord, I feel so all alone.
Don't you know I'm a lonesome boy from Dixie.
Gone to war and I just want to get home.

When the battle started the rebels were outnumbered
They shot his leg with an angry cannonball
The medic came and said "we'll all be lucky
If the boy from Georgia makes it home at all".

chorus

Well there's a peach tree on a hill in northern Georgia
Where a horse stands like a statue made of stone.
Flowers bless a grave down in the meadow.
Now the lonesome boy from Dixie made it home.

chorus

People say I'm no good, and crazy as a loon
'Cause I get stoned in the mornin', I get drunk in the afternoon
Kinda like my old blue tick hound, I like to lay around in the shade
And I ain't got no money, but I damn sure got it made

'Cause I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way I'm livin'
You just leave this long haired country boy alone

Preacher man talking on TV, puttin' down the rock and roll
Wants me to send a donation, 'cause he's worried about my soul
He said, "Jesus walked on the water.", and I know that it's true
But sometimes I think that preacher man, would like to do a little walkin' too

But I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way I'm livin'
You just leave this long haired country boy alone



A poor girl wants to marry, a rich girl wants to flirt
A rich man goes to college, a poor man goes to work
A drunkard wants another drink of wine, and a politician wants your vote
I don't want much of nothing at all, but I will take another toke

'Cause I ain't asking nobody for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way I'm livin'
You just leave this long haired country boy alone

People say I'm no good, and crazy as a loon
'Cause I get stoned in the mornin', I get drunk in the afternoon

A rich man goes to college, a poor man goes to work
A drunkard wants another drink of wine, and a politician wants your vote
I don't want much of nothing at all, but I will take another toke

'Cause I ain't asking nobody for nothin'
If I can't get it on my own
If you don't like the way I'm livin'
You just leave this long haired country boy alone

People say I?m no good
And crazy as a loon
?Cause I get stoned in the morning -
I get drunk in the afternoon.
Kinda like my old blue-tick hound:
I like to lay around in the shade.
And I ain?t got no money
But I damn sure got it made.
?Cause I ain?t askin?nobody for nothin?br />?f I can?t get it on my own.
If you don?t like the way I?m livin?
You just leave this long-haired country boy alone.
Preacher-man talkin?on T.V.
Puttin?down the Rock and Roll.
Wants me to send a donation
?Cause he?s worried about my soul.
He said Jesus walked on the water
And I know that it?s true.
But sometimes I think that preacher-man
?d like to do a little walkin?too.
But I ain?t askin?nobody for nothin?br />?f I can?t get it on my own.
?f you don?t like the way I?m livin?

People get all upset and they shiver and they sweat for money (Money!)
It don't seem to make no difference which a way the wind might blow
They scrimp and they save and
They'll dig an early grave for money (Money!)
They act like maybe they can take it with 'em when they go

People work all their lives and they marry ugly wives-for money (Money!)
There just ain't no tellin' what a money hungry man might do
They cheat and they steal and they murder and they kill-for money (Money!)
Now I've heard tell of some money hungry women too

Bridge:
They say gimme gimme gimme gimme all that you've got
I want your money
Give it to me, give it to me, I want a lot
I want it all
I want it right now

Ladies of the night get out on the street and fight - for money (Money!)
They'll be standing on the corner freezing in the midnight air
You can take it out in trade
Just as long as they get paid - in money (Money!)
If it's dirty or clean just as long
As it's green they don't care

Bridge:
They say gimme gimme gimme gimme all that you've got
I want your money
Give it to me, give it to me, I want a lot
I want it all
I want it right now

Locked out in the street

(lickin' on a cock)You grip it then you kiss it
(lickin' on a cock and balls)I'm gon' stick it
(lickin' on a cock)It's time for abuse
F A double G O T this is Bruce

Check this sick as flow coming from a fuckin gay nigga
Aint you heard yet? I aint got no shame nigga
What's that you say dawg? You wanna talk trash?
Let's see how tough you look with a dick in your ass
I'm a rough motherfucker, spent 10 years in the clink
Crushed all types of ass, black, white, (?) and chink
I'm scary as hell, some motherfuckers don't flex
Shank you in the shower, it's some bloody gay sex

(lickin' on a cock)You grip it then you kiss it
(lickin' on a cock and balls)I'm gon' stick it
(lickin' on a cock)It's time for abuse
F A double G O T this is Bruce
(lickin' on a cock)You grip it then you kiss it
(if it aint swole)Then punch the tip and twist it
(lickin' on a cock)It's time for abuse
F A double G O T this is Bruce

Verse 2, coming through, with the thickness
Fuck females, I'm all about the dickness
I'll rip the mic and represent for my crew
Stricklee Dicklee, I'll put my penis where you poopoo
Don't act disgusted, it's bigger then me baby
Your daddy queer as hell and he like gulpin' gravy
From a roughneck bulletproof homo like Bruce
Get ready for cock, I hope that cornhole be loose

(lickin' on a cock)You grip it then you kiss it
(lickin' on a cock and balls)I'm gon' stick it
(lickin' on a cock)It's time for abuse
F A double G O T this is Bruce
(lickin' on a cock)You grip it then you kiss it
(if it aint swole)Then punch the tip and twist it
(lickin' on a cock)It's time for abuse
F A double G O T this is Bruce

I'm the wizard of wang, call me Gandalf the Gay
Dwarf, hobbit, or elf, all that ass being play
I'm sick with it (precious) deep inside my robes
Bow down to the scepter now your face explodes
I got potions, and some magical lotions
A sorcerers shit, put that dick in motion
The time has come, to crown the new rap king
Faggot Bruce! Give me the golden cock ring

(lickin' on a cock)You grip it then you kiss it
(lickin' on a cock and balls)I'm gon' stick it
(lickin' on a cock)It's time for abuse
F A double G O T this is Bruce
(lickin' on a cock)You grip it then you kiss it
(if it aint swole)Then punch the tip and twist it
(lickin' on a cock)It's time for abuse
