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 |

I recall when I used to come home never had a dime
But Lord I always had a good time And I recall drinkin' wine with one of my friends Lord, I can't go back again Am I losin' my own way back home Am I losin' a good friend that I've known Am I losin' won't you tell me how I've sinned Why am I losin one of my bets friends And I recall this friend of mine I knew so well It goes to show Lord you just can't tell Now my friend won't talk to me Let me tell you why he thinks I 've changed because of a dollar sign And its so strange when you get just a little money Your so called friends want to act just a little funny They'll blame you But I'm not the one that's here to blame Its you my friend that's really changed Its a shame, such a shame Am I losin' once again Why these things happen, Lord I don't understand But Lord it can sure hurt a man Why my friend won't take me as I am 'Cause your friend Lord is the most important thing |

I've seen the devil,
Stared him straight in the eyes. Danced in his fire on my darkest nights. Laid in his garden an' I drank his wine. Slept with temptation 'til I found salvation: It almost ate me alive. Oh, I've been there done that, had my thrill Ain't goin' back again. I was the life of every party, It nearly did me in. I was the baddest man that you've ever seen, Lord, I wrote the book on sin. Yeah, I've been down that road, I ain't goin' back again. I've caused more damage than a hurricane. I've broke your heart an' didn't feel a thing. Then walked away and cursed your name in vain. But with you as my witness, You gave me forgiveness, Now I've got a second chance. Oh, I've been there done that, had my thrill: Ain't goin' back again. I was the life of every party, It nearly did me in. I was the baddest man that you've ever seen, Lord, I wrote the book on sin. Yeah, I've been down that road. He's knockin' at my door, Ain't walkin' round here no more. Been there, done that, Ain't goin' back again, no! I was the baddest mother that you've ever seen, Lord, I wrote the book on sin. Been there, done that, Ain't goin' back again. I was the life of every party, It nearly did me in. I was the baddest man that you've ever seen, Lord, I wrote the book on sin. Yeah, I've been down that road. I ain't goin' back again, Oh, no! Been there, done that. I was the life of the party, yeah. Been there, done that. |

It's been so long since I've been gone
Another day might be too long for me Traveling around I've had my fill Of broken dreams and dirty deals A concrete jungle surrounding me Many nights I've slept out in the streets I paid my dues and I changed my style Seen hard times. All over now I want to come home. It's been so long since I've been away And please, don't blame me 'cause I've tried I'll be coming home soon to your love to stay I miss old friends that I once had Times ain't changed and I'll be glad when I go home I don't know why the thought came to me But why I'm here I really can't see. And now... I want to come home. It's been so long since I've been away And please, don't blame me 'cause I've tried I'll be coming home soon to your love to stay Coming home to stay Coming home to your love, mama I've seen better days I miss old friends that I once had Times ain't changed and I'll be glad when I go home I don't know why the thought came to me But why I'm here I really can't see. And now... I want to come home.

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 grandaddy was a hillbilly scholar,
blue collar of a man... He came from the school where you didn't need nothin' if you couldn't make it with your own two hands He was backwoods, backwards, used words like: no sir, yes ma'am, by god, be darned, hell yeah I'm American.. and all the years he walked this earth I swear all he did was work. He said the devil dreams on an idle horse so you listen to me squirt.. Don't get too high on a bottle, and get right with the man. Fight your fights, find your grace and all the things that you can't change, and help somebody if you can Now Granny said sonny stick to your gun if you believe in something no matter what cause it's better to be hated for who you are Than beloved for what you're not. She was 5 feet of concrete New York born and raised on a slick city street. She'll stare you down, stand her ground, still kickin' and screamin' at 93 I remember just how frail she looked in that hospital bed taking her last few breaths of life and smiling as she said Don't get too high on a bottle, just a little sip every now and then, fight your fights, find your grace, and all the things that you can't change and help somebody if you can, and get right with the man I never let a cowboy make the coffee yeah that's what Granny always said to my Grandad and he'd say never tell a joke that ain't that funny more than once and if you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans Don't get too high on a bottle, get right with the man, son. fight your fights, find your grace, and all the things you two can't change and help somebody if you can and get right with the man and get right with the man |

Been lost in the darkness for so long,
I can't see the life. I been strung out, burned out, left out, And hung out to dry. So I say to myself that I wanna get better Hidin' from the truth, I can't last forever. Jesus, help me Obviously, I can't help myself I've got nobody else. Send me an angel: someone to strangle, That old demon that's hauntin' me there on the shelf. I can't help myself. And my excuses are so old an' tired Hell, I forget 'em. I keep fallin', an' crawlin', an' drownin' Down here on the bottom. Yeah, I've pushed back my brothers, said goodbye to my friends When you get in this deep, the hell never ends. Jesus, help me Obviously, I can't help myself I've got nobody else. Send me an angel: someone to strangle, That old demon that's hauntin' me there on the shelf. I can't help myself. Gimme a reason to live an' show me a sign. I'm on the edge goin' out of my mind. I'm down on my knees: I'm beggin' you please, Make me somebody else: I can't help myself. (No!) I need something stronger Pour it all over me. Send me an angel, someone to strangle, That old demon 'Cause you know that I never will. I can't help myself. |

Should've seen the look on the face of the boss of the second shift
When I threw my hard hat at him And suggested the box where he could stick it I walked downstairs and told him I was leavin' Bethlehem Like I'd seen the Saviour, had tears in my eyes Holdin' my hands up and shoutin' "Amen" [Chorus] 'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do I spent most of my life a-wrapped up tight In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes Startin' today, I'm someone I'd be proud to know You might tell me where to go But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do We buried daddy just like week at the church to save his soul Man, he dreamed of pilot's wings Spent his whole life diggin' coal I got a guitar under my bed, but I've been too scared to ply But that's enough of that stuff; I'm packin' up my truck They can just kiss my butt goodbye [Chorus] 'Cause there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do (Ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do) I spent most of my life wrapped up tight In somebody else's hand-me-down old shoes Startin' today, I'm someone I'd be proud to know You might tell me where to go But there ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do |

Daddy was a Cajun, raised on Southern land And so my kinfolks tell me, was a street-fightin' man. Well, they rushed him down to see the doctor "Hey doctor, won't you check his head?" The only thing that was wrong with him Was Johnny Walker's Red He drank ole poison whiskey 'Til it killed him dead. It happened back in the bayou many years ago Satan came to take him and he did it real slow Well, they rushed him back to see the doctor The doctor just shook his head, "Twenty years of rotgut whiskey Done killed the poor man dead." He drank ole poison whiskey 'Til it killed him dead. Take a tip from me, people... brothers can't you see Ain't no future in ole poison whiskey. They're gonna rush you down to see the doctor, The doctor's gonna shake his head. The only thing he's gonna tell ya "Stop drinkin' Johnny Walker's Red Don't drink poison whiskey, don't you drink it boy. |

Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman and you'll find love and don't forget, son, there is someone up above." 후렴 "And be a simple kind of man, oh, be something you love and understand. Baby, be a simple kind of man. Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can." "Forget your lust for the rich man's gold, all that you need is in your soul. And you can do this if you try. All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied." 후렴 반복 간주 "Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself. Follow your heart and nothing else. And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.

Friday night,Jimmy wasn't gonna play. Sitting on the bench chomping at the bit, knowing he was better. 5'6", going on six eight. A man went down, Jimmy went in: Third an' long, first an' ten. Crowd went wild: "Touchdown." Jimmy said: "I came to win." If you're gonna go, go all the way. If you're gonna stay, stand your ground. If you can't run with the big dogs, Big dog,Let me walk you out. If you can't lead, let me by you. If you won't follow, get out the way: You're taking up space. Shelly had her Daddy's money waiting, All she had to do was share his chair. She had a dream that he didn't want her chasing She was a night-school millionaire. She worked two jobs to pay her way: Stayed up late to make the grade. Graduated, Summa Cum Laude. PhD the hard way. If you're gonna go, go all the way. If you're gonna stay, stand your ground. If you can't run with the big dogs, Big Dog, Let me walk you out. If you can't lead, let me by you. If you won't follow, get out the way: You're taking up space. Life's too short to live in caution. Life's too long not to live it all. Oh, if you're gonna go, go all the way. If you're gonna stay, stand your ground. If you can't run with the big dogs, Big Dog,Let me walk you out. If you can't lead, let me by you. If you won't follow, get out the way: You're taking up space. Oh, you're taking up space. |

Oak tree you're in my way There's too much coke and too much smoke Look what's going on inside you Ooooh that smell Can't you smell that smell Ooooh that smell The smell of death surrounds you Angel of darkness is upon you Stuck a needle in your arm So take another toke, have a blow for your nose One more drink fool, will drown you Ooooh that smell Can't you smell that smell Ooooh that smell The smell of death surrounds you Now they call you Prince Charming Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes Say you'll be all right come tomorrow But tomorrow might not be here for you Ooooh that smell Can't you smell that smell Ooooh that smell The smell of death surrounds you Hey, you're a fool you Stick them needles in your arm I know I been there before One little problem that confronts you Got a monkey on your back Just one more fix, Lord might do the trick One hell of a price for you to get your kicks Ooooh that smell Can't you smell that smell Ooooh that smell The smell of death surrounds you Ooooh that smell Can't you smell that smell Ooooh that smell The smell of death surrounds you |

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 |

Have you ever lived down in the ghetto? Have you ever felt the cold wind blow? If you don't know what I mean, Won't you stand up and scream? 'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know. Too many lives they've spent across the ocean. Too much money been spent upon the moon. Well, until they make it right I hope they never sleep at night They better make some changes And do it soon. They're goin ruin the air we breathe Lord have mercy. They're gonna ruin us all, by and by. I'm telling you all beware I don't think they really care I think they just sit up there And just get high. |

from Ronnie Van Zant - Get Right With The Man (2005)
I swear I gave up drinkin';
Sometimes I have no choice, After singin' hard, six nights straight, A little sip sure helps my voice. Don't get me wrong, I love these songs, An' I know I've got it made. Sometimes my mind starts driftin', When I'm up here on the stage. To that last half-mile of dirt road, An' that oak tree on the hill. To those dogs out, barkin' in the yard, An' that tractor in the field. An' them kids up on the front porch, Screamin': "Mamma, Daddy's home!" When I'm out here, I'm just thinkin', About the things I miss the most. Yeah, the hardest thing I have to do, Is hang up this telephone. There's so much left to talk about, An' I been gone so long. So put them kids on one more time, Before they go to sleep. And, baby, no, no matter where I go, All that I can see, Is that last half-mile of dirt road, An' that oak tree on the hill. To those dogs out, barkin' in the yard, An' that tractor in the field. An' them kids up on the front porch, Screamin': "Mamma, Daddy's home!" When I'm out here, I'm just thinkin', About the things I miss the most. The things I miss the most. The things I miss the most. An' it's killin'me: I hate to leave this family that you've given me, God only knows, I hate to go, So hold me close and let me let you know, About the things I miss the most. People always ask me, After every show, "Of all the places that you've ever been, "What's your favorite place to go?" It's that last half-mile of dirt road, An' that oak tree on the hill. An' those dogs out, barkin' in the yard, An' that ol' tractor in the field. An' them kids up on the front porch, Screamin': "Mamma, Daddy's home!" When I'm out here, I'm just thinkin', 'Bout the things I miss the most. While I'm out here, I'm just thinkin', About the things I miss the most. |

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) |

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 |
