America, let's get it together
Whatever happened to the good old USA?
The country my granddaddy fought for
Ain't the same country today

America, we can do better
We're on top of the world but we're not here to stay
Listen to the cries of the people
People that are w

Go
Pack a car and head to the coast
Know that I think about you most
You never rained on me

Never been so pure
Watching every step I take
'Cause I don't wanna make the mistake
With a girl like you

Oh, angel
I think I love you
Angel
I think I love y

Ain't the highest you'll ever climb
It's the farthest you'll ever see
You're as young as you'll ever be
You're as young as you'll ever be

Might be the ripest on the farm
Might be the brightest bulb in the barn
Well there's more seeds left to sow
Such little time to

If I were to walk down this road would I find you
Waitin' there for me to stop the noise and break on through?
Oh I could always call
But that ain't the same

I'll be there soon
I'll be there soon

Out here in the hills
I can see the plains where you reside
Safe

Heartless
Reckless
There's a devil on my shoulder and he's doublin' down
Throwin' his weight all over town

Stable
Off the table
I've been shruggin' off redemption for Judgment Day
Threw it all out before I held it
Now you gonna meet the real Big Velvet

Mmh-mmh-mmh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Throw fate in the fire, it's time to go
Live free or die trying, gonna justify my soul
I broke the silence, I walk alone
Made friends with darkness, out here digging a hole

Every now and then you let what you l

You know I can write a song
You know I can kiss all night
You know that I can be the man
That makes you feel just right
But there's trouble up ahead

I feel it in my spine
I'll go to church
Break some bread
Drink all the Lord's wine

No I can't
Be alone<

Roll up to the club in my 1964 Caddy
Straight ready to stunt
At a quarter to one
Just a-looking for fun

I said, a-twist for me, baby
Hit a rip for me, baby
Take another shot, get lit for me baby
It's a quarter 'til two
What you wanna do?

All you mothers and you brothers
And you sisters and you fathers
And everybody walkin' this land
No matter your race, your creed, your tribe
Whose nation you defend
With open hearts, open minds
Lend a helpin' hand each time
To the mothers and the brothers
And the

Out here in East Texas
You get pulled over and you have that devil's lettuce on you
You get thrown behind the big wall
Meet a lotta characters, there in jail
Lemme tell you 'bout 'em

Rough and rowdy
Tall and mean
Them red and blues
They're takin' me
Down to

Spirit leads
Spirit heals
Then it bleeds

Over you
Over me
Spirit tries
Spirit keeps

Right here in your soul
Hear the voice
Feel the presence
I can be wild
I can talk shit

Some days with plenty to back it up with

If I get to heaven I better roll me some sevens
'Cause right now my ticket's punched for hell
You rage and fade, I miss too many Sundays
Lord, if you hear me I could surely use some help

'Cause I like to ride the lightnin'
They ain't gonna hang me from a tree
'Cause the

Well I'm fallin' off the tracks
Goin' places I never should be
Well I've found my righteous path
But out here it's me

Don't leave me hangin' out on the line
Don't leave me hangin' out on the line
I'm preparin' to lose my mind
While I'm tryin' to make you mine
Do

Ain't gonna talking, gonna walking till they break me down
No, didn't do it, now I'm saying we're coming around
Well, have mercy on me, that word don't mean a thing
I was on my way out, just need to grab a couple of fame

Have mercy on you, have mercy on me

I've got the Holy Ghost fire
And it's burning in me
I've got the Holy Ghost fire
And it's burning in me
Got the Holy Ghost fire
And I'm burning down these streets

I've got a sweet little baddie
And she's rolling in the Caddy with me
I've got a sweet little baddi

Ain't just how you dance it's how you fall
Stood taller than the rest, held your alcohol
Watched you run the bar, winnin' pool
Stealing all them hearts and money, takin' them to school

Wait for me, darlin'
Luck is on my side
I wanna see you rise in the mornin'

Long lonely nights
Holding pillows tight without me
Hurted and alone sitting
By the telephone that never rings

Well, you're holding in a man
To hand your steady hand, you chose me
Well, I'll never been the kind of guy
You want me to be

Late nights, city lights

May be gone before the morn
See you on the other side
Come see me on the other side
I was gone in a storm
I guess I was out of time
Come see me on the other side

Just another mile down the line
Lay me by the water's edge
Just a little farther along

In my mind I'll always see you
I'll always feel you standin' there
With the same cotton dress you wore when I first met you
I recall the sunlight in your hair

Can a dream break your heart?
Can it tear your world apart?
Let the flame light the fire
Let it burn throug

Don't you run, little son
Today is your day, little son
No need to be afraid, little son
Lord, you got it made, little son
Born with a faster gun, little son
Them shadows you'll outrun, little son

Whenever I'm long gone
You'll speak of my name
Tell them that I p
