I was there when the men came, and told us all the news
Father forgive them for they know not what they do Till they walk a while, a country mile In my hillbilly shoes You want to judge me by the whiskey on my breath You think you know me but you ain't seen nothing yet Till you walk a while, a country mile In my hillbilly shoes In my hillbilly shoes You work all day in the muck and the mire Dance a little jig and a stomp by the fire Ain't too much these boots can't do Might even kick a little sense into you Well I'm going up cripple creek going in a run Going up cripple creek to have a little fun Law man said they found some tracks People saw them leavin but they never come back Oh, you don't know me, you don't know, you don't know you don't know Till you walk a while, a country mile In my hillbilly shoes In my hillbilly shoes |

I've been lookin' for a sign
Runnin' through the rain Shivered to the bone But I still can't shake the pain I've been lookin' for a sign Crawlin' on the ground And what did I do today Well, I can't remember now Tryin' to survive Best way I know how But my heart just keeps on wantin' The one that doesn't want me now So what if I go crazy Goin' there keeps me alive But livin' makes it clear That I'm just stuck right here Tryin' to survive I won't stay down long I'll be back again ?N I'll even learn to smile Just wish I knew when Tryin' to survive Best way I know how But my heart just keeps on wantin' The one that doesn't want me now So what if I go crazy Goin' there keeps me alive But livin' makes it clear That I'm just stuck right here Tryin' to survive |

Pulled in the driveway, picked up the paper
Found my key, and unlocked the door I walked in, felt like a stranger Like I'd never been there before As I wandered room to room It was silent as a tomb Could have heard a teardrop Could have heard a heartbreak Never saw the flood come Even though I felt the rain Never heard a house sound So loud with memories Where there used to be A happy home In the house on the corner Of lonely and gone If she talked about leaving, I wasn't listening If she showed me a sign, well I never saw Did she stop believing, did I stop giving Can't put my finger on what went wrong Now the quietest noise I'm told, is the sound of letting go Could have heard a teardrop Could have heard a heartbreak Never saw the flood come, even though I felt the rain Never heard a house sound, so loud with memories Where there used to be a happy home In the house on the corner Of lonely and gone Whoa...never heard a house sound So loud with memories Where there used to be a happy home In the house on the corner In the house on the corner Of lonely and gone |

I could say it's all her fault
She never had any patience at all I'm a complicated guy And she didn't try to understand I could claim I had nothing to do With the fact I'm lonesome and blue But that wouldn't be true I'm a self made man Yeah I'm the one that fooled around And let the one who loved me down She had more of me than she could stand I blamed everyone but me But now that it's too late I see Nobody helped me get to where I am I'm a self made man I could blame it on the way I was raised Or I could say I was just to afraid To lay my heart in somebody else's hands I could always make one more excuse But in the end what's the use I might as well face I'm a self made man Yeah I'm the one that fooled around And let the one who loved me down She had more of me than she could stand I blamed everyone but me But now that it's too late I see Nobody helped me get to where I am I'm a self made man Oh I blamed everyone but me But now that its to late I see Nobody helped me get to where I am I'm a self made man Self made man Self made man I can't blame anybody but me |

His cows get loose and run right through the fast food parking lots
And Daddy gets calls from the mini-malls When they're downwind from his hogs When his tractor backs up traffic, the reception ain't too warm The city's growing around him, but Daddy won't sell the farm You can't roll a rock, up a hill that steep You can't pull roots when they run that deep He's gonna live and die, in the eye of an urban storm Daddy won't sell the farm He worked and slaved in '68, he bought these fields and trees He raised his corn and a big red barn and a healthy family He learned to love the woodlands, he can't stand to do them harm There's concrete all around him, but Daddy won't sell the farm You can't roll a rock, up a hill that steep You can't pull roots when they run that deep He's gonna live and die, in the eye of an urban storm Daddy won't sell the farm One day he's gonna leave it all to me And I'll start my own branch of the family tree They'll get the message written on the roof of the barn Daddy won't sell the farm You can't roll a rock, up a hill that steep You can't pull roots when they run that deep He's gonna live and die, in the eye of an urban storm Daddy won't sell the farm We're gonna live and die, in the eye of an urban storm Daddy won't sell the farm Oh you know a country boy can survive |

I've never had a broken bone
I hardly ever get a cold I keep myself in pretty good shape But I know I wouldn't here today If a broken heart could kill I'd be long gone Ashes to ashes, dust to dust by now Six feet under, a tombstone on a hill Lying there alone in my new wooden home If a broken heart could kill I've run the rapids, jumped from a plane Been through earth quakes and hurricanes I've climbed mountains, been a rodea clown But after you, I'm lucky I'm still around If a broken heart could kill I'd be long gone Ashes to ashes, dust to dust by now Six feet under, a tombstone on a hill Lying there alone in my new wooden home If a broken heart could kill Yeah I'd be heaven bound, Or on my way down If a broken heart could kill. |

Well I've spent more money than I've made
And I've grown more whiskers than I've shaved I've worked harder getting out of work But I've loved a lot more than I've hurt I've spilled more whiskey than I've drank I drove up more gas than was in my tank I've lost a lot more than my shirt But I've loved a lot more than I've hurt Oh I hurt a little now and then, But when you're broke you learn to bend The bottom line for what its worth, I've loved a lot more than I've hurt Well I walk a lot more than I ride And I show a lot more than I hide I'm sometimes more trouble than I'm worth, But I've loved a lot more than I've hurt Oh I hurt a little now and then, But when you're broke you learn to bend The bottom line for what its worth, I've loved a lot more than I've hurt Yea the bottom line for what its worth I've loved a lot more than I've hurt. |

Sorry to hear
That you're down on luck Sometimes you give Til you just give up It's hard to find A true love these days Who won't break your heart Or leave your mind in a haze I'm here to tell you It doesn't have to be that way There's just no reason For losin' faith Didn't your mama tell ya 'Bout boys like me We'll walk you in the moonlight We'll ask about your dreams We'll even carve your name in an old willow tree Didn't your mama tell ya 'Bout boys like me It's more than flowers It's bigger than diamond rings It's talkin' for hours And all those little things And I will hold you When the nights get long And if you're feelin' weak I will make you strong And I won't run when it starts lookin' tough It all comes down to a little respect for love Didn't your mama tell ya 'Bout boys like me We'll walk you in the moonlight We'll ask about your dreams We'll even carve your name in an old willow tree Didn't your mama tell ya 'Bout boys like me Didn't your mama tell ya Where we'd be found Didn't your mama tell y a That we're still around Didn't your mama tell ya 'Bout boys like me We'll walk you in the moonlight We'll ask about your dreams We'll even carve your name in an old willow tree Didn't your mama tell ya 'Bout boys like me Didn't your mama tell ya Didn't your mama tell ya Didn't your mama tell ya 'Bout boys like me Didn't your mama tell ya |

Trouble is, I can't make her see
I've said some bad things I didn't mean Now it's all come down to this She's not here, trouble is. Trouble is, she's over me. And it's no use to beg and plead. It's too late to make amends. She's not here, trouble is. Trouble is, dark, cold, and lonely. Trouble is this big half-empty bed. Now there's no one around to hold me. She's not here, trouble is. Trouble is, my closest friend. She moved out and it moved in Now its here to stay I guess That's just the way trouble is. Trouble is, dark, cold, and lonely. Trouble is this big half-empty bed. Now there's no one around to hold me. That's just the way trouble is. Now there's no one around to hold me. She's not here trouble is. |

Young kid stepped in from the cold, he ordered up a drink
He said don't look surprised old man I'm older than you think If I was the talkin' kind, I could tell you a thing or two And since you didn't ask let me show you my tattoos He said I got this rose in Memphis In some back old alley dump picked this eagle up in Dallas Man, I sure was good and drunk and you know the way I see it If it gets any worse out there, a guy like me hasn't got a prayer The old man poured some coffee, he said this one's on me Set down his cigarette and rolled up his sleeve Take a good look here my friend, you see what these are Just my ragged old and jagged ordinary scars He said I got this one in Paris in a war 'fore you were born And this one when I was half your age workin' on my daddy's farm And you know the way I see it son, you ain't seen what I've seen 'Cause tattoos and scars are different things He said I've been here for all these years And what I know is this, if you look and listen close A man will show you what he is, you know the way I see it You've been 'round but you're still green 'Cause tattoos and scars are different things Young kid stepped in from the cold and he ordered up a drink He said don't look surprised old man I'm older than you think |
