I'm just a city boy
But there's a small town side to me And I feel it closin' in Are we too blind to see That she's die-in' more each day And she's cryin' out to you and me Chance is comin' when thier gone They curse a fool who waits too long So lets take care of what we have Before the good we know goes bad And the beauty fades and just slips away The dirty air and the die-in' seas Will this be the world we leave To the wild and young And say just look at what we've done And right before our eyes Today's yesterday, could be tomorrow's goodbye Here comes the rain. it might wash her tears away But it doesn't change a thing Like my brother before me All I can do is write this song and for her I sing Chance is comin' when we're gone They carve in stone what we've done wrong So lets take care of what we have Before the good we know goes bad And the beauty fades and just slips away The dirty air and the die-in' seas Will this be the world we leave To the wild and young And say just look at what we've done And right before our eyes Today's yesterday could be tomorrow's goodbye Do you ever think about the future or the past Do you ever wonder how long this world will last..... So let's take care of what we have Before the good we know goes bad And the beauty fades and just slips away The dirty air and the die-in' seas Will this be the world we leave To the wild and young And say just look at what we've done And right before our eyes Now it's right before our eyes Today's yesterdaaay.......... will be tomorrow's goooodbye |

I hear the rumors flyin'
About a head on crash At the stroke of midnight When centuries clash Some gonna party Some gonna kneel and pray Well you can quote the bible Bribe the devil But there's gonna be some hell to pay We were young and innocent Though this day would never come And tomorrow seemes a million miles away Let's look each other in the eyes And realize it could be time To set aside our anger And know we're all the same Take my hand We're gonna cross the line To a brand new day Or the end of time We're gonna rise as one Or fall together Out here on the ledge We're standin' on the edge...of forever From the silence I hear the thunder role Words of the prophets echo in my soul One salvation in this world to me I know in my heart if we love each other We can face what's meant to be Now there's power in the wrong hands A madman in a foreign land If we don't get our senses It's all gonna slip away Take my hand We gonna cross the line To a brand new day on the end of time We're gonna rise as one and fall together Our here on the ledge Standin' on the edge...of forever Take my hand We're gonna cross the line To a brand new day on the end of time We're gonna rise as one and fall together Out here on the ledge Standin' on the edge Out here on the ledge Dancin' on the edge...forever Oh, oh forever, oh forever |

Yeah ooh ooh
The only time I get up early Is to met my mules at the fishin' hole I wanna catch the one that got away I wanna feel my pole bending in that way Since I was a kid I felt this way I fell hook, line and sinker Gone fishin' yeah St. John's River runs north not south Smart enough to have a large mouth If you can hook 'em you can mount 'em You can keep 'em around But if they break your line They're gonna go back down Since I was a kid I felt this way I fell hook, line and sinker Gone fishin' yeah Oh, ain't nothing like sunrise on the lake Or when the moon comes up at night There's things out there that can take your life You might just die of fright But I'll be there come rain or shine Cause see it's what I like to do Only thing better than settin' my hook Is settin' my hook in you I fell hook, line and sinker Gone fishin' oh oh Yeah yeah whoa yeah I've been everywhere, tried everything But there ain't nothin' that feels the same When you find the right one, it's a magical thing Next thing you know, it's a diamond ring She hooked me and took my name I fell hook line and sinker Gone fishin' yeah Gone, gone fishin' She hooked me Gone, gone fishin' Yeah yeah Gone, gone, gone fishin' Yeah, she's my baby Gone, gone, gone fishin' Yeah yeah oh oh Gone fishin' |

Dig down and tell me what you find
Back in the pages left behind Everybody's got a story Ours ain't no different from the rest Each step we take, it's just a test On this broken road to glory When we were young and brave We fought to save the one thing that we loved We took the scared vow and signed our names in blood And through it all, we kept on shining We fought the doubt and faced the pain We built it up from dust and ashes To cheat the odds and rise again There's been a million miles of road Another million miles to go Still giving me a reason Most times your first could be your last God give me one more second chance Oh something to believe in Though it's easier to give it up Then to give it all you got Don't let it make you something that you're not And through it all, we kept on shining We fought the doubt and faced the pain We built it up from dust and ashes To cheat the odds and rise again And through it all the wheels kept turning Above the tears the truth stands tall, yeah Here we are, one in spirit We stand together through it all Oh, through it all When we were young and brave We fought to save the one thing that we loved We took the scared vow and signed our names in blood And through it all, we kept on shining We fought the doubt and faced the pain We built it up from dust and ashes To cheat the odds and rise again And through it all the wheels kept turning Above the tears the truth stands tall, yeah Here we are, one in spirit We stand together through it all Oh, through it all The wheels keep turning, through it all Oh, through it all |

I knew a man a long long time
But I never knew him at all Small in stature, big at heart Oh, he always stood tall From the time that he was born He had a style all his own In my mind he could do no wrong Misunderstood all along He worked hard all his life To get what he has today We would all be better off, if we could Hear those words that he had to say He was a little rough around the edges And through it all, we all knew he was A little rough around the edges Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you (Oh for you, for you) He took me by the hand And said son, what's your plan I won't stop you or stand in your way Someday you'll be a man I looked at him with hungry eyes That only youth can know With all his wisdom and all his years He said, I'll teach you all that you need to know He was a little rough around the edges And through it all, we all knew he was A little rough around the edges Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you (Oh for you, for you) Don't stop now, keep moving Don't worry about where you're going, I'll hear you You'll feel me, I'm there no matter where you go He was a little rough around the edges And through it all, we all knew he was A little rough around the edges Simple in mind but always had a kind eye for you (Oh for you, for you) He was a little rough around the edges He was a little rough around the edges Simple in mind, oh oh Simple in mind, oh oh |
