Like my women HOT and my beer ice cold
A real fast car and my whiskey old
Like a slow drive down an old dirt road

Ain't nothing better than the sound of a crowd
American Flag it makes me proud,

I know ya are Johnny

Oh thats what I do
WOOO.....

Mmmmmmmm

Ha ha ha

Let me tell ya a story

Outside of Macon, off a country road
Justice was forsaken
when they let the wrong man go
Johnny Law was shady
First one on the scene
They called it murder
in the first degree

Dead man walkin'
Walkin' down the hall
Judge says guilty
but still he's standing tall
Dead man walkin'
they say broke the law
Taking the life of another man
Who done his daughter wrong

Light 'em up
Lay 'em down
Take 'em out
But there's more of us around
When wrong is right and right is wrong
Oh there's a dead man walkin' tonight

Walk on
Walk on
Walk on

(Whistle)

Oooooohhh

If I asked you a question
would you tell the truth
Would you pull the trigger
if you was standin' in his shoes

Dead man walkin'
I know what I'd do
If someone hurt my baby
I'd be walkin' too

Light 'em up
Oh lay 'em down
Take 'em out
But there's more of us around
When right is wrong and wrong is right
Oh there's a dead man walkin' tonight

Walk on
You gotta walk on baby
Walk on
Ohhh
You gotta walk on baby
Walk on

Ohhhhhh

Yeah

So if I asked you that question
would you tell the truth

Dead Man Walkin'

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Well the sun don't shine where it use to
and the angels are hiding their heads
People don't listen to their hearts anymore
Seems the good men all are dead

There aint no right, wrong, no in between
That ain't the constitution that they wrote for me
Got our heads stuck in something overseas
Standing ass deep in hipocracy

(Ohhhhhhhhhhh)

Well I found myself out on the open road
Heading out into the desert
looking for another world
Thats's waiting on me
that none of us can see
I keep thinking to myself as I move along
Where do we all come from
Is there religion or another dimension
Another place and time (Yeah)

(Ohhhhhh)

When my life is over and done
Finally made my way through it
Another life has just begun (Is this is the way to it)
Oh The way

(OhhhhOhhhhOhhhh)

Looking in the eyes of the man in the moon
He is starring down at me
Wondering what he's thinking
and if he knows
please let me see

Life is like an open door
we're all walking through
Do you know the answers
No one knows the truth
until we pass on through

When my life is over and done
Finally made my way through it
Another life has just begun
(Is this the way to it)

(Ohhhhhh)

Walkin' on the world upside down
It keeps spinning round and round
World upside down
I'm so tired of all this bullshit going down

Finally made my way through it
When my life is over and done
This is the way to it
When my life is over and done
Finally made my way through it
Another life has just begun
This is the way to it

Ohhhh wayyyyy

This is the way to it

Ohhh wayyyyyyy

OOOOOOO MMM MMM MMMMMMM

We don't have no plastic L.A. friends
ain't on the edge of no popular trend
ain't never seen the inside of that magazine GQ
we don't care if your a lawyer or a Texas oil man
or some waitress busting ass at some liquor stand
if you got soul we hang out with people just like you

Well my hairs turning white
my necks always been red
my collars still blue
we've always been here
just trying to sing the truth to you
guess you could say we've always been Red White and Blue

Ride our own bikes to Sturgis pay are own dues
smokin camels and drinking domestic brews
if you want to know where i've been just look at my hands
yeah i've driven by the white house and spent some time in jail
mama cried but she still wouldn't pay my bail
i ain't been no angel but even god he understands

My hairs turning white
my necks always been red
my collars still blue
we've always been here
just trying to sing the truth to you
guess you could say
we've always been red white and blue

yeah that's right.....

My daddy worked hard and so have I
We paid our taxes and gave our lives to serve this great country
so what are they complaining about
yeah we love our families
we love our kids
you know it's love that makes us all so rich
that's where were at
if they don't like it they can just...get the hell out! Yeah!

My hairs turning white
my necks always been red
my collars still blue
we've always been here
just trying to sing the truth to you
guess you could say
we've always been red white and blue

OooOoOO RED WHITE AND BLUE

YA KNOW YA KNOW YA KNOW

RED WHITE AND BLUE

YEAH

ooooOOOO RED WHITE AND BLUUUUUUUE.....

Here we go

Come on

I was raised on the west side, shanty town
I didn't get up until the sun went down
When your back's against the wall you better get tough
I Learned real quick how to swing and duck

I was born in the sweet hot Florida sunshine
Good looking women backwoods and moonshine
Learned more about life on the street than in the school
Sweet mama didn't raise no fool

No she didn't

Hehaha

Ohhh

Some folks cheat and some folks lie
I can judge a man by the look in his eye's
Don't hand me Jack and try to call it cola
I know the difference 'tween shit and shineola

I was born in the sweet hot Florida sunshine
Good looking women backwoods and moonshine
Learned more about life on the street than in the school
Sweet mama didn't raise no fool

No she didn't

Play it boy's

No no no

Uh huh

Mama was no angel when she taught me right from wrong
She knew every single note and every word in every song
She taught me how to gamble and how to roll the dice
If it makes you feel good do it, don't think twice

I was born in the sweet hot Florida sunshine
Good looking women backwoods and moonshine
Learned more about life on the streets than in the school
Sweet mama didn't raise no fool

I was born in the sweet hot Florida sunshine
Good looking women backwoods and moonshine
Learned more about life on the streets than in the school
Sweet mama didn't raise no fool

Noooooo

Talking about mama

Owww Im telling ya she's so sweet

Talking about sweet, sweet, sweet mama

(Talking about sweet,(inaudible)sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet mama)

(Talking about sweet, sweet, sweet, - sweet, sweet mama)

(Talking about sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, mama)

Ohhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhh

Tornados spinning, I sit here grinning
I think we've all seen this movie before
This is confusing, almost amusing
It's hard to tell up and down anymore

When did it get so crazy
How did we lose control
Everybody's shouting how bad it really sucks
Situation normal, all funked up (uhhhh)
We're all funked up

We had some leaders and they all were cheaters
but they came out smelling like a rose
We should just reject them
but we respect them
for what they do when the door is closed

Nothing in this world, a simple man can do
Stand up and be counted
Ain't you had enough
Situation normal, all funked up

Yeah we're all funked up
We're functionally dysfunctional
We're functionally (yeah) dysfunctional
We're all funked up

Ohh
Ahhhh

Don't you know the meaning of the word snafu
better known as trouble for me and you
Murphy's law will get'cha
He is on his way
Same ol' same ol' shit, a different day

Oh

Tornados spinning, I sit here grinning
I think we've all seen this movie before
This is confusing, almost amusing
It's hard to tell up and down anymore

Everybody's shouting how bad it really sucks
Situation normal, all funked up
We're all funked up
We're all funked up
We're all funked up

Ohhhhhhhh

All Funked up

Mama used to say to me
You can make your destiny
Keep your feet planted on the ground
You can always get it back
Make a castle from a one room shack
It's all in what you make and what you found
Son your gunna find out when your older
Theres always been the hand of God
Resting right there on your shoulder

(Chorus)
Will it be Hell or Heaven on earth
The choice is up to you
Look to the sky the answer is clear
Are you gunna live life for all its worth
Choose Hell or Heaven on earth
If you live it right theres nothin to fear
Cause you'll find Heaven right here

Saw a man the other day
Had it made in every
Till his greed brought him down
He was blinded by the city lights
Now he shivvers in the cold of tonight
Who would save the lifegaurd
When he's about to drownd

(Chorus)
Will it be Hell or Heaven on earth
The choice is up to you
Look to the sky the answer is clear
Are you gunna live life for all its worth
Choose Hell or Heaven on earth
If you live it right theres nothin to fear
Cause you'll find Heaven right here

You know your gunna walk to far
You know your gunna feel the pain
Or your gunna lose if you wanna win the game
And every time your heart is breakin
And every time you breath is shakin
Remember what mama said oooohhhh that day

Hopin my time is comin
Left enough to build apart
Noones gunna say i didnt try
And heres why

(Chorus)
Hell or Heaven on earth
The choice is up to you
Look to the sky the answer is clear
Are you gunna live life for all its worth
Choose Hell or Heaven on earth
If you live it right theres nothin to fear
Cause you'll find Heaven right here

you'll find Heaven right here
Oooohhh
You'll find Heaven right here
Ooooohh
Oooooooo

It just hit home yeah that a good man's gone
Hey cat in the hat
We're all gunna miss you
And all of your practical jokes yeah
And takin three steps with you

(Chorus)
We never say goodbye we always say so long

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Step on the gas gone in a flash
Rubber just keeps on burnin'

(Chorus)
Cause every night is a saturday nite
No matter what town we're in
Open the doors and kick out the lights
Just let the party begin

We're just watchin' the world from this big ass bus
The highway is home to folks like us
Makin' the music keepin' it alive
Slip in, slip out of your Rockin' little town tonight
Yeah thats what we do

We get into town lay our head down
Really ain't nothin' to do
Just watching the clock gettin' ready to rock
We ain't no different than you

(Chorus)
Cause every night is a saturday nite
No matter what town we're in
Open the doors and kick out the lights
Yeah let the party begin

We're just watchin' the world from this big ass bus

Cause we're watchin' the world from this big ass bus
The highway is home to boys like us
Makin' the music keepin' it alive
Slip in, slip out of your Rockin' little town

Watchin' the world from this big ass bus
The highway is home to folks like us
Makin' the music keepin' it alive

Mmmmmmmm

Your love does something to me
That I can't describe
Dark eyes, see right through me
and I just can't hide

You drive me crazy with what you don't say
and the way that you hold back love
Tell me tell me won't you please please tell me
Need an answer from above

There you are,you're my desire
and here I am, I'd be a liar
If I said, I ain't gonna crawl
You ain't gonna nail my heart to the wall
You ain't gonna find me crying like a chid
just asking for it all
I ain't gonna beg
I'd rather lose it all instead

If that's what it takes to get you
Part of me just might let you
Someone like you, I'd do more than fall
I just might crawl

Ohhhh

Seems like I get this feeling
this time of night
Head down sense's reeling
Something just ain't right

Imagination locked up inside
and it's got no where to go
I see my lover through another's eyes
and it's killing me just to know, the truth
Like playing with fire, to lose you
I'd be a liar, if I said

I ain't gonna crawl
You ain't gonna nail my heart to the wall
You ain't gonna find me crying like a chid
just asking for it all
I ain't gonna beg
I'd rather lose it all instead

If that's what it takes to get you
Part of me just might let you
Someone like you, I'd do more than fall
I just might crawl

Ohhhhhh

I just might crawl

Ohhhhhh

Ooooooooo

I ain't gonna crawl
You ain't gonna nail my heart to the wall
You ain't gonna find me crying like a chid
just asking for it all
I ain't gonna beg
I'd rather lose it all instead

If that's what it takes to get you
Part of me just might let you
Someone like you, I'd do more than fall
I just might crawl

Crawl...
Sooner or later, we all fall
Crawl...

Mmmmmmm

The boy gets crazy when he's sittin' at the bar
Don't you mess with Jake don't you push him to far
Rot gut whiskey and home made wine
Make a good country boy just lose his mind

Like a run away train rollin' through the night
The boy ain't got no fear
Like a race car hittin' the wall he gets hard to steer
Waitin' for the smoke to clear

OOOOHH
Betty got caught in the back of Bobby's car
Bobby got caught with his hand in the cookie jar
Her daddy blew a fuse and he went for his gun
EEEEE
Now Bobby and Betty thier on the run

Like a run away train rollin' through the nite
Nothin's gonna stop them now
Gotta keep on movin', coverin' tracks somehow

Like a run away train rollin' through the night
The kids ain't got no fear
Daddy's (wizz?) bang is the last sound Bobby's gonna hear
ooohhh
Waitin for the smoke to clear

Daddy finally caught him in the end of his gun
Put a dead end to all of Bobby's fun
OOhh
Good God almighty, Oh heaven sakes
Betty's Daddy turned out to be Jake

Like a run away train rollin' through the nite
Jake ain't got no fear

Know the hangman judge gonna give the boy 99 years
Here sits Jake at the back of this bar
Sippin' on a nice cold beer

If the law had a clue all they'd do is look right here
When they see Jake..... waitin' for the smoke to clear

Waitin for...OOOOHHHAAA

Mmmmmmmm

I listen, and still I haven't heard
Tell me what is the word
And if I ever heard it
Would it be clear as water

Oh tears run down your face
Reflects the human race
We're all caught up with winnin'
Losing time and space
Life's Lessons

So you think you know it all
but you're headin' for a fall
Oh to make it back again
You'll have to crawl and step back

Take a look around
are your feet still on the ground
Oh can we find you in the section of lost and found
Never think you've got it figured out
'cause when you do you'll begin to doubt
It's time for you to open your eye's

Will we look back and see what we've done
Will we be proud or ashamed of what we've become
Will we realize we all share one fate
Or is this another Life's Lesson, too late

Ohhh

Never think you've got it figured out
'cause when you do you'll begin to doubt
It's time for you to open your eye's

Ohhhh

Will we look back and see what we've done
Will we be proud or ashamed of what we've become
Will we realize we all share one fate
Is this another Life's Lesson, too late

Will we look back and see what we've done

Ohhh, ohhh

Will we realize we all share one fate

Ohhhh Life's Lessons

Ohhh,ohhh,ohhh, yeah Life's Lessons

Ohhhhh - Life's Lessons

Will we look back and see what we've done (back up singers)

Will we realize we all share one fate (back up singers)

Well it took so long for me to realize,
That my destiny was right before my eyes,
If it were up to me to travel through this life,
I'd find an open space for me to live out all my dreams,

CHORUS
I'm such a lucky man, I try to be a stronger man,
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man,
It's made me a better man,
I've given all I can,
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man

I remember all the things that I've been through,
Gave myself to all those people I once knew,
I'm such a lucky man

I'd like to thank you for all the times that you have been with me,
I hope it meant as much to you to share these memories,
Theres a guiding light that always seems to shine,
If I did it all again,
I'd be happy to the end,

Im a lucky man,
I try to be a stronger man,
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man,
It's made me a better man,
I've given all I can,
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man

I remember all the things that I've been through,
Gave myself to all those people I once knew,
I'm such a lucky man

Im a lucky man,
I try to be a stronger man,
I shed a tear or two but that don't make me a weaker man,
It's made me a better man,
I've given all I can,
To a world that sometimes thinks that I'm a lesser man
I'm a lucky man

Mmmmmmmm

I'm a lucky man

Whoa, such a lucky man

Life is so strange with it's changing yes indeed
Well I've seen hard times and the pressure's been on me
But I keep on working like a working man do
And I got my act together I'm gonna walk all over you

Gimme back my bullets, put 'em back where they belong
Ain't fooling around 'cause I've done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done, gimme back my bullets

Sweet talking people done ran me out of town
And I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around
But I'm leaving this game one step ahead of you
And you will not hear me cry because I do not sing the blues

Gimme back my bullets, put 'em back where they belong
Ain't fooling around 'cause I've done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done, gimme back,gimme back my bullets
Oh put 'em back........where they belong

Been up and down since I turned seventeen
Well I've been on top then it seems I lost my dream
But I've got it back I'm feeling better every day
Tell all those pencil pushers they better get out of my way

Gimme back my bullets, put 'em back where they belong
Ain't fooling around 'cause I've done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done, gimme back,gimme back my bullets
Ooh put back where they belong
Gimme back my bullets
