I have never had an easy life. But I'm not complaining. It has taught me how to stand and fight. For what I believe in. I guess that's just how I was raised.
I got a place that I like to slip off to. When everything starts closin' in. And I got some ways that the world don't agree with. Yeah, some folks would call it a sin.
I miss the look of surrender in your eyes. The way your soft brown hair would fall. I miss the power of your kiss when we made love. Oh, but baby most of all, I miss my friend.
I was sittin' at the bar with my buddies. Discussin' the state of the world. Everyone had an opinion. Then somebody turned and asked Earl. "Is the stock market gonna recover.
The first thing I did when that plane finally landed was kiss the ground. The next thing I did was to go find my friends down at the old hangout. Drank some beer and talked a lot about old times.
I dug this hole I'm standing in. She made it clear she ain't coming back again. I'm dying here, it's dark and cold. Oh, I'm the only one to blame, I dug this hole.
I hear people saying. We don't need this war. But I say there's some things worth fighting for. What about our freedom and this piece of ground. We didn't get to keep them by backing down.

Girl tonight it's pouring down on us. It's been building for so long. Yeah, it's dark I know but don't let go. And don't say our love is gone. . If we hold on till the morning.
Free. Feels a lot better that I thought it would. Free. Never knew it felt so good to be. . Free to do what I wanna do. So I'm getting out on the town tonight.
I've looked high and low. I've searched near and far. And after all this time. Still I don't know where you are. . I've done all I know to do. So girl, I guess it's up to you.
All day long I break my back. To keep this company in the black. There's gotta be an end to all this labor. When I hear that whistle blow. . I can't wait to see your smiling face.
Dancin' in the living room cuttin' up a rug. Dancin' with a baby looks more like a hug. Livin' in a house made of saw mill wood. "Roll over Beethoven" never sounded so good.
Work like a dog all day in the hay. (Do you know what that is?). Five days work for one days pay. (Do you know what that is?). . Crops burnt up so pray for rain.
I got a lot of highway to travel. I got a little lady on my mind. I'm already pullin' over callin' Caroline. . I got to be in Bowling Green by mornin'.
It's cold out this mornin', it's raining, it's pourin'. My back's acting up, but so what, I'm alive and I'm breathin'. My baby's still mad from that fight that we had.
There's a little shack tucked back in the timber. It wasn't much back then, but it was home. Sometimes it hurts me to remember. Just how long I've been gone.
I woke up early with a poundin' in my head. I'd been out the night before with all my friends. A little worried, kinda wonderin' what I did. I said, Lord, please forgive me for my sins.
Skipping rocks across the creek. Tasting something good to eat. Feeling grass on my bare feet. And talking to a friend. Walking down a railroad track.
I'm tired of working every day for a dollar. About to choke on my own blue collar. This ain't gonna last, misled by the grand illusion. I've come to this conclusion.
