If I was runnin' this country. I'd start it over from scratch. Keep what's good an' pile up what's bad. And then I'd strike the match. Yea, we'd go back to the basics.
Well if you ask me where I come from. Here's what I tell everyone. I was born by God's dear grace. In an extraordinary place. Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly.
You get up every morning 'fore the sun comes up. Toss a lunchbox into a pickup truck. A long, hard day sure ain't much fun. But you've gotta get it started if you wanna get it done.
Now daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along. Everyone that knew him knew which side that he'd be on. He never was a hero, or this county's shinin' light.
Friday night and the ship is in, anchored down and flagging wind, away from all of this, lay, lay us down in the fire.... Your over there with the working girls all your time in the underworld and those nights in the shadow factories, lay, lay us down, down in the fire....
Your lion has left the ring now. Blood there in the dust. Every jaw hanging open. Look on if you must. . How are you dreaming?. High on your hill. Gold in the turning light.
There in the wheat,. I heard you sigh.. I don't know the size of it.. Who can know?. . Patriot,. Under the spell,. Maybe howlin' underground,. Ear at the dirt..
Behind the red door in american skin. there is a murder of roses. In the midnight hiss come cover me there. For i am electric nothing. . Out on the tide strangers all are drowing by.
I see these creatures in tired action. I hold the blade with the midnight arm. My brother dreams in real violence. My brother, dreaming through the red.
Larry Love, do you remember. When I came upon you in that place of suffering. In the valley of darkness?. I took away all you pain. And put love in your cold, cold heart.
Shoot me with the real thing. Shoot me, me moth, me motha'. Now's the time for you. To get right and repent. . I've been converted. Sit right there and get educated.
Last train to Nashville Girl, you got on board. Packed up your medicines, left without a word. Now you're strung out in Suburbia, waiting for that call.
Well you woke up this morning. Got yourself a gun. Your mama always said you'd be. The choosen one. . She said, you're one in a million. You've got to burn to shine.
My heart is like a desert. Gone too long without rain. And your love is like the water. That makes the river run again. I'm burning like the Tucson sand.
Pulling me under. You're leaving me breathless. Feeling the thunder. My heart is helpless, it's true. . You come around. And the stars light up the sky.
Two good friends, Friday night, a chick flick in the VCR. I watched you roll your eyes. Knew I'd have to twist your arm when you said. You expect a guy like me to sit and watch this mushy stuff.
We don't need the world outside. We got all we need tonight. Love is enough. . Let 'em say what they wanna say. When you're holdin' me this way. Love is enough.
I can have a heart of stone. Stand my ground and walk alone. Be strong when everything falls down around me. . I can keep my self-control. Guard the secrets of my soul.
One Room Apartment So Crowded & Small. The tomcats' meowing, and the babies all squall.. My Sister has a boyfriend , but when he comes to call. She sits on the sofa, and he stands out in the Hall.
I know your heart belongs to me and you're afraid. 'Cause I haven't given mine. You think that I don't want you to have it. But I do, I just got hurt real bad one time.
