"Born To Run"

"Born To Run"

There's an old man sittin' on a front porch now
Talkin' 'bout how it used to be
When I was young I was a hell of a man
My father died when I was ten
I hit the road to find a job
Had to feed my family
Times were hard my hands are still scarred
From the life I've had to lead
I was born to run

Drove a tractor and trailer all my life
Six kids and a hell of a wife
Made lots of money it all slipped away
A large family that's the price you pay
I always dreamed never gave up
Son, even when times got tough
That's when I'd push it a little bit more
You should've heard that engine roar

[chorus]
I was born to run
Can't slow down
No regrets, I've been blessed
Born to run
In time you'll see what the good Lord's done for me
Born to run
I can't slow down
No regrets, I did my best
Born to run
In time you'll see
What the good Lord's done, done for me

The old man, he passed away
And all he said never crossed my mind
Until I saw the price he payed
Was a lot like mine
I'm full and though it's miles away
Gotta hit the city right on time
And when I'm on I'll always sing little song of mine
I was born to run

[repeat chorus]

"Bring It On"

"Bring It On"

Uhh Huh That's right

Missy was a real fine looker
Always had an eye for the boys
Man I always wanted to book that girl
Play around with some of her toys

I said, my my, oh can you look at them eyes
I said oh no Lord here we go
Don't you pretend you don't know
Bring it on
Yeah baby

Rumor says she from the bayou
Searchin' for her fortune and fame
Man she's got a way about her
She's drivin' all us poor boys insane

I said, my my, oh can you look at them eyes
I said oh no Lord here we go
Don't you pretend you don't know
Bring it on
Give it to me baby
I've been waiting for it all night long
Bring it on
I know you got it in you to shake my sheets
To your rock n roll beat
Bring it on, you can bring it on

Just about the time I thought I had it made
I felt a slap on my shoulder
I turned around and had to stare up at him
He said little man you best think this over

I said my, my oh take a look in his eyes
I said, oh no, Lord here we go
The band's on a break lets give this bar a show
Bring it on, give it to me mister
We can fight about her all night long
Bring it on, take your best shot
Oh bring it, bring it on
Oh no
We can fight about her all night long
Bring it on

"Call Me The Breeze"

"Call Me The Breeze"

Call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load

Ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
Well there ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
And I ain't hidin' from nobody
Nobody's hidin' from me
Oh, that's the way its supposed to be

Well I got that green light baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well I got that green light baby
I got to keep movin' on
Well I might go out to California
Might go down to Georgia
I don't know

Well I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
Well now I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
But I don't love me no one woman
So I can't stay in Georgia long

Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load
Oooh Mr Breeze

"Can't Take That Away"

"Can't Take That Away"

What can they all be thinkin'
Wanna' take the cross off of the hill
Put away the pledge of allegience
Lord,just the thought gives me a chill
They can take God off our money but, in the end 'o ain't it funny
How were all gonna see him on the judgement day
So sing it loud

[chorus]
One more time
Hear what you say
When you got the truth inside, now they can't take that away
One more time
'Cause it ain't too late
Hold on to what you believe 'cause thay can't take that
they can't take that away

They want to change somethin' somewhere for everybody
Right now a change ain't what we need
Just like my father's father before him
They held on with pride to everything they believed
They can take God off our money but, in the end 'o aint it funny
How were all gonna see him on the judgement day

[repeat chorus]

There's a fire that burns forever
Come a day we ain't gonna take no more

[repeat chorus]

"Cheatin' Woman"

"Cheatin' Woman"

Cheatin woman make you crazy
Cheatin' woman make you a fool
She'll leave your heart so lonely
Brother there's nothin' you can do
Well I can't stand the pain no more
She don't want my love for sure
She don't even want poor me
Knockin' on her front door

Why did you make me love you sister
When you knew you was untrue
You loved every man with pants on
Yes a dozen to you is too few
I'm gonna shoot you and end your world
Then you won't bother poor me
You won't bother poor me no longer

Cheatin' woman -- gonna shoot ya

Oh woman why you do me
Oh Lord the way you do
I done everything I can baby
Seems like nothin' reaches you
I'm gonna get that pistol gal
I'm gonna shoot you and all your pals
You ain't gonna bother poor me
You won't bother poor me no longer

"Christmas Time Again"

"Christmas Time Again"

Love this time of year
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

"Comin' Back For More"

"Comin' Back For More"

I ain't the kind to stick around without it
It'd be a crime 'cause man I'm all about it
It's in my blood
It keeps me breathin'
It's like a drug - gotta have the feeling

It's been awhile since I've seen your face
What a shame, what a waste

I've been up, I've been down
I've been kicked to the ground
But I can't get my mind off of you
So I keep on movin' on to a place I belong
Hopin' you wanted me to
I'm better than I was before
I'm knocking at your door
I'm coming back for more

Some say it's love
Some say it's hate
I'm here to tell you it's never too late
If you don't use it
Man you're gonna lose it
Your sweet little nothings are what I call music

It's been awhile since I've seen your face
What a shame, what a waste

I've been up, I've been down
I've been kicked to the ground
But I can't get my mind off of you
So I keep on movin' on to a place I belong
Hopin' you wanted me to
I'm better than I was before
I'm knocking at your door
I'm coming back for more

I keep comin' back, comin' back for more
I keep comin' back, yeah I need a little more
I keep comin' back, comin' back for more
I keep comin' back...back...back

I've been up, I've been down
I've been kicked to the ground
But I can't get my mind off of you
So I keep on movin' on to a place I belong
Hopin' you wanted me to
I'm better than I was before
I'm knocking at your door
I'm coming back for more

I keep comin' back, comin' back for more

"Comin' Home"

"Comin' Home"

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. 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

"Crawl"

"Crawl"

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 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 child just asking for it all
I ain't gonna beg, I'd rather lose it all instead
If that is what it takes to get you Part of me just might let you
For someone like you, I'd do more than fall
I just might crawl

Seems like I get this feelin' this time of night
Head down senses reeling, something just ain't right
Imagination locked up inside and it's got nowhere to go
I see my lover through anothers eyes
And it's killing me 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 child just asking for it all
I ain't gonna beg, I'd rather lose it all instead
If that is what it takes to get you, Part of me just might let you
For someone like you, I'd do more than fall
I just might crawl

I ain't gonna crawl
You ain't gonna nail my heart to the wall
You ain't gonna find me crying like a child just asking for it all
I ain't gonna beg, I'd rather lose it all instead
If that is what it takes to get you, Part of me just might let you
For someone like you, I'd do more than fall
I just might crawl

"Cry For The Bad Man"

"Cry For The Bad Man"

Well he walks so tall to be so small
Never met a man who's stranger
He lives his life for a dollar sign
And to deal with him is dangerous
He knocked me down but I'm on my feet
Now I'm so much wiser
I'd rather quit and go back home
Than to deal with the money miser
Let's cry for this bad man
I sing a song for the bad man

Well, you treat me right baby, I'll treat you right
That's the way its supposed to be
I put my faith down in my friend
And he almost put an end to me
Well I work seven days a week
Eight when I am able
When you take money from me you take food from my mama's table
Let's cry for this bad man
I wrote a song for the bad man

Oh baby you know who you are

Let's cry for this bad man
I wrote a song for the bad man way down in Georgia

Well, you treat me right baby, I'll treat you right
That's the way its supposed to be
I put my faith down in my friend
And he almost put an end to me
Well, when you take my money baby when you hurt my family
I go walkin' through the swamps without no shoes
Step on a snake it scares you
Let's cry for this bad man
I wrote a song for the bad man
Oh let's cry for this bad man
I wrote a song for the bad man

Oh baby straight to you
He's so bad, so bad
