You better listen my brother
'Cause if you do you can hear There are voices still callin' from across the years And they're cryin' across the ocean And they're cryin' across the land And they will until we all come to understand (chorus) That none of us are free None of us are free None of us are free if one of us is chained None of us are free Well there are people in the darkness And they just can't see the light And if we don't say it's wrong then that says it's right We got to feel for each other Let our brothers know we're here Got to get the message and send it out loud and clear That none of us are free None of us are free None of us are free if one of us is chained None of us are free Well it's the single truth We all need to see That none of are free if one of us is chained None of us are free Well I swear to you salvation isn't very hard to find None of us can find it on our own We got to join together. Spirit, heart and mind All the are suffering, knows they're not alone None of us are free None of us are free If you just look around you You're see what I say 'Cause the world's gettin' smaller each passin' day Now it's time to make some changes Now it's time all realized That the truth is shinin' right before our eyes 'Cause none of us are free None of us are free None of us are free if one of us is chained None of us are free Well it's the very heart of humanity 'Cause none of us are free if one of us is chained None of us are free None of us, none of us None of us, none of us None of us, none of us are free None of us, none of us None of us, none of us None of us, none of us are free None of us are free None of us are free None of us are free if one of us is chained None of us are free 'Cause it's the very truth We all need to see That none of us are free if one of us is chained None of us are free |

Well, every time that I come home nobody want's to leave me be, it seems that all the friends I've got just got to come interrogate me. Well, I appreciate your feelings and I don't want to pass you by but I don' t ask you 'bout your business, don't ask me about mine. Well, it's true I love the money and I love my brand new car, I like drinkin' the best of whiskey and playin' in a honky tonk bar. But when I come off the road, well, I just gotta have my time 'cause I gotta find a break in this action, else I'm gonna lose my mind. So don't ask me no questions and I won't tell you no lies. So don't ask me 'bout my business and I won't tell you goodbye. Well, what's you favorite color and do you dig the Brothers drivin' me up the wall and every time I think I can sleep some fool has got to call. Well, don't you think that when I come home I just want a little peace of mind? If you want to talk about the business, buddy, you're just wasting time. So don't ask me no questions and I won't tell you no lies. So don't ask me 'bout my business and I won't tell you goodbye. So don't ask no stupid questions and I won't send you away.

Well I used to wake the morning before the rooster crowed
Searching for soda bottles to get myself some dough Brought 'em down to the corner, down to the country store Cash 'em in and give my money to a man named Curtis Loew Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care He used to own an old dobro, used to play it across his knee I'd give old Curt my money, he'd play all day for me (Chorus) Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew I got your drinking money, tune up your dobro People said he was useless, them people are the fools 'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues He looked to be sixty, and maybe I was ten Mama used to whip me but I'd go see him again I'd clap my hands, stomp my feets, try to stay in time He'd play me a song or two Then take another drink of wine. Chorus Yes sir On the day old Curtis died, nobody came to pray Ol' preacher said some words, and they chunked him in the clay But he lived a lifetime playin' the black man's blues And on the day he lost his life, that's all he had to lose Play me a song Curtis Loew, Hey Curtis Loew I wish that you was here so everyone would know People said he was useless, them people all are fools 'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker to ever play the blues |

Like a restless leaf in the autumn breeze
Once I was a tumblin' weed Like a rollin' stone, cold and all alone Living for the day my train would come I never cared for school or any golden rules Papa used to always say I was a useless fool So I left my home to show them thay was wrong And headed out on the road singing my song Then one sunny day. The man, he looked my way And everything that I dreamed of, it was real Money, girls and cars; and big long cigars And I caught the first plane home so papa would see When I went home to show 'em they was wrong All that I found was two tombstones Somebody tell me please was I right or wrong Oh, such a sad song First I got lost, then I got found But the ones that I love are in the ground Papa I only wish you could see me now Take a listen papa Whoo, I learnt how to play my guitar Gonna be a superstar First I got lost, then I got found The ones I love are in the ground Won't you tell me please was I right or wrong If there's any way you can hear what I say Papa, I never meant to do you wrong All the money, girls and cars. And all the words and all the cigars Papa, I just want you to know they couldn't take your place When I went home to show 'em they was wrong All that I found was two tombstones Somebody tell me please was I right or wrong Oh, such a sad song First I got lost, then I got found But the ones that I love are in the ground Somebody tell me please was I right or wrong |

My daddy told me always be strong son Don't you ever cry You find the pretty girls and then you love them Then you say goodbye I never dreamed that you would leave me But now you're gone I never dreamed that I would miss you Woman won't you come back home I never dreamed that you could hurt me And leave me blue I've had a thousand, maybe more But never one like you I never dreamed I could feel so empty But now I'm down I never dreamed that I would beg you Woman I need you now It seems to me I took your love for granted It feels to me that this time I was wrong, so wrong Oh Lord now I feel so lonely I say woman won't you come back home I tried to do what my daddy taught me But I think he knew Someday that I would find one woman like you I never dreamed that it could feel so good, Lord That two could be one I never knew about sweet love So woman won't you come back home Oh baby won't you come back home |

Cuz' this is my woman there and I'm a man who cares and this might be all for you" (I said "excuse me!") I was scared and fearing for my life I was shaking like a leaf on a tree Cuz' he was lean and mean and big and bad, Lord, pointing that gun at me Oh! wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her don't want no trouble with you and I know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me ask one favour from you Say won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister, gimme 3 steps toward the door? Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister and you'll never see me no more." (Guitar solo) Oh well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray and the water fell down to the floor and I'm telling you, son, it ain't no fun, staring straight down a fourty-four. Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou, and that's the break I was looking for and you could hear me screaming a mile away as I was headed out toward the door. Oh won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister, gimme 3 steps toward the door? Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister and you'll never see me no more." |

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 |

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw him You would even say it glows All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say "Rudolph with your nose so bright Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer You'll go down in history" Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say "Hey, Rudolph with your nose so bright Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

It seems to bring us near I wish Christmas was every day There’s somethin’ about those lights On that tree at night Feelin’ you girl, next to me Oh baby, baby the way we kiss Under the mistletoe A laugh like little children Makin’ angels in the snow Well it’s in your eyes And in your smile it shows That this very special time of year It seems to set your heart a glow Oh sing it with me baby Oh, it’s Christmas, you know it’s Christmas And it’s our favorite time of year Bells will be ringin’ Our hearts are singin’ Well I’m glad it’s Christmas time once again The city’s lit up bright On this starry night But there’s somethin’ left to do Go home and light a fire Tell me your heart’s desire Wrap me up, take me away Oh when I’m with you darlin’ There’s so much love that I want to share I know you feel it too There’s magic in the air And in this, sweet, sweet memories We share together They’re gonna last us now Now and for ever For ever and ever Oh, it’s Christmas, you know it’s Christmas And it’s our favorite time of year Bells will be ringin’ Our hearts are singin’ Well I’m glad it’s Christmas time once again |

Alas my love you do me wrong
To cast me out discourteously When I have loved you so so long Delighting in your company Your gown was of the grassy green Your sleeves of satin were hanging by Which made you be a harvest queen Yet you would not love me Green sleeves was my all my joy Green sleeves was my delight Green sleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady green sleeves Alas my love you do me wrong To cast me out discourteously When I have loved you so so long Delighting in your company |

You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town He's making a list and checking it twice Gonna find out who's naughty and nice Santa Claus is coming to town He sees you when you're sleeping He knows when you're awake He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake Oh! You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry Better not pout, I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town |

Out of all the reindeer you know you're the mastermind
Run, run rudolph, randalph's not too far behind Run, run rudolph, santa's got to make it to town Randalph he can hurry, he can take the freeway down. And away went rudolph a-whizzing like a merry-go-round Said santa to a boy child what have you been longing for? All I want for christmas is a rock and roll electric guitar And away went rudolph a-whizzing like a shooting star Run, run rudolph, santa's got to make it to town Can't you make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down And away went rudolph a-whizzing like a merry-go-round Said santa to a girl child what would you like most to get? I want a little baby doll that can cry, scream and wet And away went rudolph a-whizzing like a saber jet Run, run rudolph, run, run rudolph, a-running like a son-of-a-gun |

She'd wake us up early
Every mornin' She'd help us say our prayers Every night She was always there to help us Through the hard times We could count on her To make everything alright I remember swingin' on the front porch Papa said, there's somethin I need to say tonight Mama's been sick for a long time Let's pray to God She can make it through the night "Mama don't wanna say goodbye" She said "Wipe those tears from your eyes" "Mama, I don't wanna say goodbye" It was written in the heavens And the skies above "Son, I gave you birth Showed you all my love" "I can't think of this life without you It's hard to try Mama, I'm afraid to say goodbye" "Now kids I've been hangin' on a long time I hate to leave this world Before you're grown Remember everything That I've taught you Remember all the good times When I'm gone" "Mama don't wanna say goodbye" She said "Wipe those tears from your eyes" "Mama, I don't wanna say goodbye" It was written in the heavens And the skies above "Son, I gave you birth Showed you all my love" "I can't think of this life without you It's hard to try Mama, I'm afraid to say goodbye" She whispered in my ear Before she passed away "Son, it's time to be a man Ain't nothin' left to say Jesus walked on water, I know it's true When it comes time, he'll call you home I hope you're ready too" "Mama don't wanna say goodbye" She said "Wipe those tears from your eyes" "Mama, I don't wanna say goodbye" It was written in the heavens And the skies above "Son, I gave you birth Showed you all my love" "I can't think of this life without you It's hard to try Mama, I'm afraid to say goodbye" |

Christmas lights out in the yard
A wreath hung on our door There was christmas music on the radio When I stare outside my window Waiting for Santa to come I couldn't wait to see under our tree When Santa's work was done Singing hallelujah it's christmas Everybody all over the world tonight Singing hallelujah it's christmas It's christmas time again All year long I try to be As good as I could be Just a boy with all them childhood dreams Then I'd sit down and write "Dear Santa, Don't forget to come my way. I'll see you soon, and please make room For my guitar in your sleigh" Singing hallelujah it's christmas Everybody all over the world tonight Singing hallelujah it's christmas It's christmas time again Singing hallelujah it's christmas People all sharing their hearts tonight Singing hallelujah it's christmas It's christmas all over the world Have a happy christmas Make a joyful noise Have a happy christmas All us wild eyed boys I never got that ... But it taught me to believe That what means the most is only To give more than receive And if we could wish together I'd wish the world in harmony Cause if christmas could last forever What a better world it'd be Singing hallelujah it's christmas Everybody all over the world tonight Singing hallelujah it's christmas It's christmas time again Singing hallelujah it's christmas Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah it's christmas It's christmas time again Singing hallelujah it's christmas Everybody all over the world tonight Singing hallelujah it's christmas It's christmas time again Singing hallelujah it's christmas People all sharing their hearts tonight Singing hallelujah it's christmas It's christmas all over the world |

You got to lock your doors, keep the world out We're closin' ourselves in If you watch the news it'll scare you to death To Hell and back again The only justice here's at the wrong end of a gun Got the criminal makin' the laws got the good men on the run I've seen enough We don't own anything we've got we've givin' it all away But that don't make no sense to me you know who's gonna pay It's the man in the factory workin' twelve hours a day The woman workin' in the restaurant with another kid on the way [Chorus:] Isn't anything in this life sacred anymore We can't lose what we've got it's worth fightin' for I've seen enough, I've seen enough to make a grown man cry A man's standin' by the road a sign in his hand He don't want your charity he says I ain't no begger man All I need is a chance to get back on my feet But we just pass him by well it could be you or me I've seen enough I ain't the kind to just sit back and watch the world go 'round It's not too late to change let's turn this shit around [Chorus] |

This song goes out to all the money men He drives around in a fancy car Smokes those long cuban cigars He don't know how to play guitar He can't sing but still the pretty girls think he's a star We play music got families to feed Ain't good with numbers and he knows we can't read If we get a dollar you know he gets three It ain't hard to figure out it's as simple as can be Don't ask me ask the money man These boys are livin' in a fantasy land I just keep 'em on the road so they can pay the money man I'll be long gone before they understand My promises are strong like a road made out of sand I wanna be your money man My mortgage is picked up by the band I wanna be your money man The boys, oh they're sleepin' out in the van Don't ask me ask the money man You boys are livin' in fantasy land You signed the dotted line I'm takin' all I can Your money's lookin' good in my retirement plan That's just the way it is when your playin' in a band That's my money man down on his knees He ain't prayin' but he damn sure ought to be He's at a place where money doesn't grow on trees And all his prison buddies doin' more than shoot the breeze How does it feel no money man Not too good What did you do with my money man Well I a... Well a you know a... How does it feel to be a honey man Are you sure that your still a man Aw your dressed up like a little girl Just shootin' the breeze down on your knees Money man, oh money man |

There's a rumour goin' 'round on the backside of town
Jake is out to get some revenge Has fire in his eyes since his brother died Shot down by a so-called friend For a fifty dollar gram is what the neighbors say Drugs had control of his life Caught up on crack you're tryin' to think back The devil had him hooked you could see it in his eyes It's a killer There's a cold house at the corner of the street The kids come and go there at night Jerry drove up in front of the house Somebody pulled out a knife Jerry freaked out and went for his gun Shot him right between the eyes All he ever wanted was a twenty dollar high But now he's locked up for the rest of his life (chorus) It's a killer there's no way out baby once your in It's a killer steal from your family Then you'll turn on your friends It's a killer It can happen to you So don't you never, never give in It's a killer The neighborhood I used to call home These days it's lookin' like a war zone Unemployment on the rise but the black market thrives Money just keeps changin' hands The laws are gettin' tough sometimes it's not enough To satisfy supply and demand Trouble breaks out there's fightin' in the streets Bullets flyin' all around An innocent child caught in the line of fire All because there weren't enough drugs to go around (repeat chorus) (repeat chorus) |

I was cuttin the rug down at a place called 'The Jug' with a girl named Linda Lou
When in walked a man with a gun in his hand he was looking for you know who He said "Hey there fellow with the hair coloured yellow, watcha tryin' to proove? Cuz' this is my woman there and I'm a man who cares and this might be all for you" (I said "excuse me!") I was scared and fearing for my life I was shaking like a leaf on a tree Cuz' he was lean and mean and big and bad, Lord, pointing that gun at me Oh! wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her don't want no trouble with you and I know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me ask one favour from you Say won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister, gimme 3 steps toward the door? Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister and you'll never see me no more." (Guitar solo) Oh well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray and the water fell down to the floor and I'm telling you, son, it ain't no fun, staring straight down a fourty-four. Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou, and that's the break I was looking for and you could hear me screaming a mile away as I was headed out toward the door. Oh won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister, gimme 3 steps toward the door? Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister and you'll never see me no more." |

I'd like to tell y'all a story About a friend of mine Who liked to drink good whiskey, oh Lord And have a real good time His woman, you know she left him And stole that boy's brand new car And ran out of town with a guitar picker Said he gonna be a superstar Sure you are (Chorus) You can't alway trust your woman You can't always trust your best friend Beware of the ones that you need y'all 'Cause those might be the ones that do you in Don't talk no stuff to no slicker Don't tell your feelings to your friend Don't tell your woman that you love her, because That's when your trouble begins There are many ladies here among us That'll stab you in the back when you ain't around There are many, so many of your very best friends That'll kick you in the head when you are down Yes they will (Chorus) Don't you backtalk the police 'Cause its his job to put you in the jail They'll lock you up, boy and throw away the key And your best friend won't even go your bail There are many slickers here among us That are all dressed up in suits and ties But don't you show your pain, Lord in front of them 'Cause if you do you kiss yourself goodbye, alright (Chorus) |

Ridin' on a greyhound, countin' those white lines
Destination I don't know and I'm feelin' like I'm dyin' Well ten years on this road, my its took its toll But the man with the plan says the band has got to go I said roll gypsy roll Lord just pick up your bags and go Met many a woman on my way down the line Every woman that I met I left satisfied I made lots of money, just how much I don't know But most of the money I done stuck up my nose I said roll gypsy roll Lord just pick up your bags and go Gypsy's life's a story and its one that's never told He's always hungry, he's always on the go With no tomorrow, its how it seems to be When you're moving around from town to town Made lots of money just how much I don't know But most of the money I done stuck up my nose And maybe that's the reason I don't know where I'm going I don't know |

Well this life that I've lead has took me everywhere
There ain't no place I ain't never gone But its kind of like the saying that you heard so many times Well there just ain't no plae like home Did you ever see a she-gator protect her young Or a fish in a river swimming free Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina Or the sweetness of the grass in Tennessee And Lord I can't make any changes All I can do is write 'em in a song I can see the concrete slowly creepin' Lord take me and mine before that comes Do you like to see a mountain stream a-flowin' Do you like to see a youngun with his dog Did you ever stop to think about, well, the air your breathin' Well you better listen to my song And Lord I can't make any changes All I can do is write 'em in a song I can see the concrete slowly creepin' Lord take me and mine before that comes I'm not tryin' to put down no big cities But the things they write about us is just a bore Well you can take a boy out of ol' Dixieland But you'll never take ol' Dixie from a boy And Lord I can't make any changes All I can do is write 'em in a song I can see the concrete slowly creepin' Lord take me and mine before that comes 'Cause I can see the concrete slowly creepin' Lord take me and mine before that comes |
