If I die sudden
Please don’t tell anyone There ain’t nobody that needs to know That I’m gone Just put me in a pine box Six feet underground Don’t be calling no minister I don’t need one around Well my grandma she told me She’d be waiting at the gate She said that the fix was in And that she’s already prayed And the rest of my family Will be waiting there for me too They’d already taken care of my sins And there’s was nothing for me to do So If I die sudden Please don’t tell anyone There ain’t nobody that needs to know That I’m gone Just put me in a pine box Six feet underground Don’t be calling no minister I don’t need one around I don’t need no preacher around I got a little bit of money Some papers you might want to see I got a house down in Georgia But let’s keep this brief I’m not afraid of dying This life’s been right to me I got a whole bunch more than I deserve And now I will be free Yeah now I will be free So If I die sudden Don’t tell anyone There ain’t nobody that needs to know That I’m gone Just put me in a pine box Six feet underground And don’t be calling no minister I don’t need one around I don’t need no preacher around |

Well there’s a pain in my side
But I keep traveling on Bring peace to this troubled land It’s dark out here I can’t read those signs Bring peace to the troubled land Hurricane on the horizon Judgment getting closer all the time I can’t find tomorrow Bring peace to this troubled land Well there’s two men a walking Down the same dirty road Bring peace to this troubled land They stand shoulder to shoulder Carrying the same heavy load Bring peace to this troubled land One man’s eyes are full of sorrow The other man’s belly full of unbearable pain They keep getting closer Bring peace to this troubled land I’ve got many screaming children Ten million rows to hoe Bring peace to this troubled land Deader than an hammer But I can’t let go Bring peace to this troubled land The eyes of heaven are upon you But so is the soul from down below They‘ll cut off your fingers To bring peace to this troubled land Well you can stand up and holler You can lay down and die Bring peace to this troubled land We can turn up our collars And never even try To bring peace to this troubled land Beware of those who want to harm you And drag you down to a lower game Just know the truth is coming To bring peace to this troubled land I got a pain in my side But I keep traveling on |

It seems like once upon a time ago
I was where I was supposed to be My vision was true and my heart was too There was no end to what I could dream I walked like a hero into the setting sun And everyone called out my name Death to me was just a mystery Cause I was too busy raisin up Abel and Cain But nothing lasts forever Your best efforts don’t always pay Sometimes you get sick And you won’t get better That’s when life is short Even in its longest days So you pretend not to notice That everything has changed The way that you look And the friends you once had So you just keep on acting the same But deep down in your soul The fire has no flame And who knows then which way to go Life is short even in its longest days But nothing lasts forever Your best efforts don’t always pay Sometimes you get sick And you won’t get better That’s when life is short Even in its longest days All I got here Is the rear view mirror The reflections of where I’ve been So you tell yourself I’ll be back up on top some day But you know there’s nothing waiting up there for you anyway But nothing lasts forever Your best efforts don’t always pay Sometimes you get sick And you won’t get better That’s when life is short Even in its longest days |

Better take a look
At my circle Better take a look around Tell all my friends Better take a look At the colors of the people Young without lovers Old without friends Better say a prayer For the poor and unhealthy Better sing a song For those who don’t care Let the people have the right To be different Young without lovers Old without friends Life is an abstraction And it tries to fool us all And it’s working so far it seems Brother against brother This world is such a mess Behind the drawn curtains So our thoughts can not be seen Better shake the hand Of the hated Better hear the words That don’t seem clear Better take a look around At what we’re doing Young without lovers Old without friends Better take a look At my circle Better take a look around Tell all of my friends Let the people have the right To be different Young without lovers Old without friends Young without lovers Old without friends Young without lovers Old without friends |

Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home
I’ve been out here in this world too long on my own I won’t bother you no more If you can just get me in the door Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home When I started out I was so young and so strong I just let it roll off my back when things went wrong Now it’s starting to get to me All of this inhumanity Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home You wouldn’t know it by looking at me now But I was showing some promise once upon a time But it’s gone now And it ain’t coming back My time’s come and gone It’s as simple as that Hey Jesus this world is just too troublesome for me I try to fight off all these devils but I’m just too weak When I’m out here walking all alone I feel like taking my life but I won’t Too big a coward, can you give me a ride back home Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home |

An all white jury hides the executioner's face
See how we are, me and you? Everyone here needs to know their place Let's keep this blackbird hidden in the flue Oh oh oh Jena Oh oh oh Jena Oh oh oh Jena Take your nooses down So what becomes of boys that cannot think straight Particularly those with paper bag skin Yes sir, no sir, we'll wipe that smile right off your face We've got our rules here and you must fit in Oh oh oh Jena Oh oh oh Jena Oh oh oh Jena Take your nooses down Some day some way sanity will prevail But who knows when that day might come A shot in the dark, well it just might find its way To the hearts of those that hold the keys to kingdom come Oh oh oh Jena Oh oh oh Jena Oh oh oh Jena Take those nooses down Oh oh hey Jena Oh oh Jena Oh oh Jena Take your nooses down Take those nooses all down |

You say that you need me
You’ll always believe me Oh my sweet love That our love is forever We’ll always be together Oh my sweet love You say you’ll always come through And there’s nothing you won’t do Oh my sweet love But I’ve heard all this before And I can’t beg anymore Oh my sweet love You’re the woman who knows exactly what she’s doing You’re the girl who ate the apple off the tree When you’re good it’s just crazy, when you’re bad it’s too much Oh my sweet love You say you never can hurt me And never desert me Oh my sweet love That your words are true I can depend on you Oh my sweet love Then when you get in the wind And all the storms begin Oh my sweet love When you’re sad and dismantled And all your senses are rattled That’s when the rodeo begins You’re the woman who knows exactly what she’s doing You’re the girl who ate the apple off the tree When you’re good it’s just crazy, when you’re bad it’s too much Oh my sweet love Sweet love standing at my gate Oh my sweet love It sure would feel good to feel good again Oh my sweet love |
