"Somebody Said A Prayer"

"Somebody Said A Prayer"


Just a single mom raising up the kids
Little Tommy's seven now and
Her daughter Justine just turned ten

Pinchin' every cent, laughin' and lovin' and content
You would never think a couple years ago
She almost let her job, her kids, her mind, her life go up in smoke
Right there on the edge right before the fall

Somebody said a prayer, somebody had some faith
Somebody finally hit their knees and asked for help for heaven's sake
Somebody finally found someone who really cares
Somebody said a prayer

He was seventeen and his heart was broke
The middle of the night, a bottle full of pills and a goodbye note
Sittin' on his bed but then he bowed his head
Now I see him every week and every now and then
He talks about that night and the peace that came over him

Talk about a sign, can I get an amen?
Well there were tears on his face
He said look what happened lord

Somebody said a prayer, somebody had some faith
Somebody finally hit their knees and asked for help for heaven's sake
Somebody finally found someone who really cares
Somebody said a prayer

Somebody said a prayer, somebody had some faith
Somebody finally hit their knees and asked for help for heaven's sake
Somebody finally found someone who really cares
Somebody said a prayer

Can I get an amen? Oh
Can I get an amen? Oh
Somebody, somebody said a prayer
Somebody said a prayer
Somebody, somebody said a prayer

"Someday, Somewhere, Somehow"

"Someday, Somewhere, Somehow"


I looked for you in the morning with the sunrise
And I searched for you all day through
And at night as I lay my head down on my pillow
I closed my eyes and dreamed only of you

Someday somewhere somehow I know that I will be with you
Someday somewhere somehow my dreams of us together will come true
Someday somewhere somehow

[guitar]

Not a second ticks off the clock that you don't cross my mind
And with every beat of my heart I'm by your side
But the truth of the matter is it's make believe
And my love once again has been denied

Someday somewhere somehow...
Someday somewhere somehow

"Southern Rain"

"Southern Rain"


Times were rough when times were lean
Most the time nobody seemed to care
No more peace than a southern breeze
Whistling through the willow trees
And I see you standing there
And I reach out to touch your face
But the cold hard facts of life put me in my place

Southern rain falling down on me
Thinking back to yesterday and the way things used to be
Sweet home on the radio why do things have to change
Oh Lord what I would not give to feel that southern rain

Watermelon growing on the vine
The sweet taste of homemade wine
And the soft touch of your fingertips
Layin' down by the riverside
Do you recall how we used to hide
So I could taste your lips
Though the winds of change took me from home
So many years just passed me by and now I'm all alone

Southern rain falling down on me...

You said that we could last forever
But I had my wild oats yet to sow
Through every storm and each endeavor
The past and the love we found just will not let me go

Southern rain falling down on me...
Oh Lord what I would not give to feel that southern southern rain
Oh to feel that southern southern rain
Oh to feel that southern southern rain
Oh to feel that southern southern rain
Southern southern rain

"Stand"
(feat. Miley Cyrus)



[Billy Ray]
Story of a heart in need
Playin' on my T.V. screen
Will I sit back and watch it fade?
There's gotta be a better way.

Love is more than what you feel
Love is action, love is real
Break your silence, turn the key
And be the change you wanna see.

So get ready, come on everybody
Are you ready to:

[Chorus:]
Stand, for what you believe in
Stand, for all that is right
Stand, when it's dark all around you
You can be that shining light.
Stand, when troubles come calling
Your gonna be alright
Stand, just reach deep inside you
And be that shining light.
Stand.

[Miley]
I feel the earth shake, raise my voice
I have my soul, I have a choice
I feel it burning, I want more
So what am I waiting for?

[Billy Ray]
So get ready, come on everybody
Are you ready to:

[Chorus:]
Stand, for what you believe in
Stand, for all that is right
Stand, when it's dark all around you
You can be that shining light.
Stand, when troubles come calling
Your gonna be alright
Stand, just reach deep inside you
And be that shining light.
Stand.

[Chorus:]
Stand, for what you believe in
Stand, for all that is right
Stand, when it's dark all around you
You can be that shining light.
Stand, when troubles come calling
Your gonna be alright
Stand, just reach deep inside you
And be that shining light.
Stand.

[Chorus:]
Stand, for what you believe in
Stand, for all that is right
Stand, when it's dark all around you
You can be that shining light.
Stand, when troubles come calling
Your gonna be alright
Stand, just reach deep inside you
And be that shining light.
Stand...

"Stand Still"

"Stand Still"


When I was just a little boy,
I wandered through the woods
Searchin' for my daddy through the pines.
I guess I took a wrong turn
Somewhere along the way
But the Bible said
"Seek and ye shall find"
Daylight turned to darkness
Adventure turned to fear
And, when I found my way back home
His words I still can hear...

[Chorus:]
Stand Still!
When you're in the dark.
Listen to your heart
And pray for Gods will
Stand Still
Adrift in the wind...
Your voice within
Will be your best friend
Stand Still... and pray
Stand Still

Now that I'm a grown man
On my own and on my way
I've got my own decisions to be made
And when I'm at the crossroads
Unforsure and unforeseen,
I bow my head
And with these words I pray.

[Chorus]

"Stomp"

"Stomp"


The more you stomp in shit
The more it stinks.
At least is what my daddy said he thinks
Ride along, I just gotta take your game
Cause the more you stomp in shit, the more it stinks!

My mother told me such a long time ago
Be careful where you walk, and keep your eyes on the road
Don't share no secrets, spread no lies
Don't you be a beggar, [?] no alibis
Because the more you stomp in shit,
the more it stinks!

The more you stomp in shit
The more it stinks.
At least is what my daddy said he thinks
Ride along, I just gotta take your game
Cause the more you stomp in shit, the more it stinks!

I said the the more you stomp in shit
The more it stinks!
At least is what my daddy said he thinks
Ride along, I just gotta take your game
Cause the more you stomp in shit, the more it stinks! [x2]
I said the the more you stomp in shit
The more it stinks!

"Storm In The Heartland"

"Storm In The Heartland"


The leaves on the trees are turnin' inside out
From the Great White North thre's a big block cloud
Run for shelter if you can
There's a storm in the heartland

We made it through the Flood of 93
But this is gonna be the death of me
I can't hide the tears of a desperate man
There's a storm in the heartland

She's leavin' me just like a restless wind
And I can see my world is comin' to an end
Like the sound of thunder angry words ring out again
There's a storm in the heartland there's a storm in the heartland

[guitar]

The love she gave was like a breath of spring
Sweet and pure as a mountain stream
I couldn't see the danger close of hand
There's a storm in the heartland

She's leavin' me just like a restless wind...
There's a storm in the heartland

"Stripes And Stars"

"Stripes And Stars"


It's getting harder everyday being half a world away
I'm so lonely here without you
It ain't easy to believe, I'm being all that I can be
Missing everything about you

But then I see your glory flying
And remember everything behind it

I see our baby's face, brave souls who paved the way
Beyond the red, white and blue
I see the chance to dream sewn into every seam
That flag is so much more than stripes and stars

Another candle on his cake, wish you could've seen his face
When he said, "Save some for daddy"
No, it doesn't feel quite fair that they keep you over there
When we both need you so badly

Then I see your glory flying
And remember everything behind it, hey

I see our baby's face, brave souls who paved the way
Beyond the red, white and blue
I see the chance to dream sewn into every seam
That flag is so much more than stripes and stars

When I'm all out of tears and I start to lose the faith
I just take a look around, yeah
I see the reasons why we need to sacrifice
And find the strength to look past now

I see the hope it brings, what it really means
That flag is so much more

I see our baby's face, brave souls who paved the way
Beyond the red, white and blue
I see the chance to dream sewn into every seam
That flag is so much more, so much more
I see so much more than stripes and stars

So much more

"Talk Some"

"Talk Some"


Well hold on baby something's happening here
I read your body language perfectly clear
But something's fishy baby it's like the cat got your tongue
Well you done proved you ain't shy honey look me in the eye talk some

I know you're there baby I hear you breathing
Let's use some caution lady before proceedin' talk some
Tell me what's your game talk some girl I don't even know your name
Honey I'm here to listen we got coffee in the kitchen talk some

You make me nervous baby don't keep me waiting
Is there some secret you ain't articulating
I've got to ask baby I've got to know
Is there something in your past or is there someone back home

You're into mystery baby but I can do without it
Tonight is history lady if we can't talk about it
You call the signals maybe it's time to pass kick or run
Well honey I ain't hard of hearing come and whisper in my ear talk some

[guitar]

You think it's strange baby I deem it necessary
I've got to have some of your vocabulary
I'm gettin' tired of this game of Tom and Jerry
Dictate your thoughts baby I'll be your secretary

Are you from Detroit are you from Tallahassee
I can't believe you ain't got something to tell or ask me
Don't think it's crazy baby it's just my rule of thumb
How will we know where we're goin' if we don't know where we've been talk some

Well honey I'm here to listen we got coffee in the kitchen talk some
Well you've done proved you ain't shy honey look me in the eye talk some
Talk some talk some talk some talk some talk some talk some talk some
Talk some talk some talk some talk some talk some talk some talk some

"Tenntucky"

"Tenntucky"


Down in the hills of old Tenntucky
I remember the night that I got lucky
I saw you and you saw me
Where the Cumberland River meets the Tennessee
It's good to be good but I'd rather be lucky
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky

Heard the call of a whippoorwill I thought I smelled a moonshine still
Train whistle moan on down the track taknig me back
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky down in the hills of old Tenntucky

[harmonica]

Heard the call of a whippoorwill...
Down in the hills of old Tenntucky down in the hills of old Tenntucky
