"Skynyrd Family"


Well, it looks like it's another
Skynard family Christmas time
Well, well, well, well

Seems like ? New Year's Day
Started out in old L.A.
Those big wheels keep turnin' once again

But this bus we ride, we call our home
Well, this what keeps us movin' on
But 11 months on this road, I'm goin' home

Family say they're trimmin' the tree
Cookin' that turkey, waitin' on me
Just like Santa, I'll be right on time

Thirty eight will be there too
CDB will be guidin' you
To another Christmas time

Sleigh bells ringin', children singin'
It's another Skynard family Christmas time

Oh, pick an excuse
That's right, dig deep

Christmas time

Sleigh bells ringin', children singin'
It's another Skynard family Christmas time
Sleigh bells ringin', children singin'
It's another Skynard family Christmas time

Well, it's another Skynard family Christmas time
Yeah, it's another Skynard family Christmas time
That's right

It's another Skynard family Christmas time

"Smokestack Lightning"

"Smokestack Lightning"


I was sittin' at home all alone when I heard that telephone ring
And there on the line was a friend of mine sayin' he wasn't doin' a thing
So I'm steppin' out on the town tonight to party where the drinks are free
There's a sweet young thing ready and waitin' on me

[chorus]
Young and fine, strike you blind
Smokestack lightnin' make you lose your mind
She's got looks that kill can fire at will
Smokestack lightnin' she's all I need

When we got to the place I got me a taste
I knew she'd be good for a game
Dancin' out on the floor she was ready for more
She knew all the boys by their names
I said hey sweet thing let me pull your string
Let me take you home
I woke up in a hour with my money and my memory gone.

[repeat chorus]

Young and fine strike you blind smokestack lightnin'

"Something To Live For"

"Something To Live For"


What the hell have we done
To get this far down?
Yeah take a look at us now
And what we’ve become
Seems like we’re taking care of everybody else
But we forgot our own
A soldier, a beggin’ man
Yeah another homeless child

Give us somethin’ to live for
Somethin’ we can hold on to
Somethin’ to believe in
Like the love between me and you
Caught up in a game that I know we can win
To lose it all now – oh, what a sin
I’ll keep my faith – no I’ll never change
Give us somethin’ to live for
Give us somethin’ to live for

All of us took a left
When we should’ve gone right
Oh what happened to us brothers and sisters?
Now all we do is fight
Yeah face to face
And eye to eye
How do we mend this broken heart?

Give us somethin’ to live for
Somethin’ we can hold on to
Somethin’ to believe in
Like the love between me and you
Caught up in a game that I know we can win
To lose it all now – oh, what a sin
I’ll keep my faith – no I’ll never change
Give us somethin’ to live for
Give us somethin’ to live for

We all need somethin’ to believe in
Goin’ down a dead end road
Like a freight train on the tracks
Lord – carryin’ a heavy load
Oh and it’s about to break us in half

Give us somethin’ to live for
Somethin’ we can hold on to
Somethin’ to believe in
Like the love between me and you
Caught up in a game that I know we can win
To lose it all now – oh, what a sin
I’ll keep my faith – no I’ll never change
Give us somethin’ to live for
Somethin’ to live for
Gimme somethin’ to live for

"South Of Heaven"

"South Of Heaven"


There's a honky-tonk just south of Georgia
A little salvation just a' waitin' for ya'
I heard it said a long time ago
If your lookin' for your soul
Down a dirt road just across the border

Well the harder it comes you know the easier it goes
If you can make your way a little further down that road, yea
When your caught up in between
Or just dyin' to be set free

[chorus]
South of Heaven
Always endin' up
No matter how I try
I'm just south of Heaven
Don't wanna' think you can have it all
'Cause all I need is just south of Heaven

There's a little girl they call the sweet thing
Been some time I'd like to tell you one thing
You have nothin' left to lose
So by the time that you come to
You'll be one more callin' her name

Well the harder it comes you know the easier it goes
If you can make your way a little further down that road, yea
When your caught up in between
Or just dyin' to be set free

[repeat chorus]

[repeat first verse]

[repeat chorus]

And when I die don't cry for me
'Cause I'll be just south of Heaven
South of Heaven
All I want, all I need, all I want
Is south of Heaven

"Southern Ways"

"Southern Ways"


When I was 15 I dreamed of leaving my home
I had to see the world
And live like a rolling stone
I heard California was paved in gold
So I hopped on that train
It didn't come easy
But I keep thinkin' bout
The green grass and missing my home

Take me back to my southern ways
Where I can be myself and live another day
Take me back to my southern ways
Where the tall pines blow and the southern winds kiss my face

Oh southern grace

Me and my boys started a band
Practiced everyday out on the Hell House land
Played every honky tonk and this ol' bar
To sing about Sweet 'Bama
We were just simple men
The music is forever
and the songs will never ever end

Take me back to my southern ways
Where I can be myself and live another day
Take me back to my southern ways
Where the tall pines blow and the southern winds kiss my face

Oh take me back!

I sit here thinkin' about those days
I wouldn't change a thing about my life today
Ain't it funny how time sure flies
'Cause all I ever wanted and all I ever needed
WAS YOU

Take me back to my southern ways
Where I can be myself and live another day
Take me back to my southern ways
Where the tall pines blow and the St. John's flows, and only God - he
knows, and those southern winds kiss my face

"Southern Women"

"Southern Women"


I'm the kind of man that loves all the girls
From debutantes to honky-tonk queens
I've tasted every brand all around the world
But all I see are peaches in my dreams
I'm talkin' 'bout, I'm talkin' 'bout them southern women
It's a well known fact across the Dixie line
And if a man don't agree I can tell you he's blind
They can drink with the best and the hell with the rest
And if she takes you home you ain't gettin' no rest

[chorus]
I'm talkin' 'bout, I'm talkin' 'bout them southern women
I'm talkin' 'bout they'll love you so slow them southern women
Them southern girls
They look like angels on saturday night oh-lord they got a wild side
Take you places that you've never been make a man come back again
Talk about mama's southern belle little girl learned her lesson well
Ain't no others can cast a spell like the sweet southern women

[repeat chorus]

They can make a man feel so proud they can capture him with a southern style
Little girl learned her lesson well ain't no others can cast a spell
Like the sweet southern women them southern girls

"Start Livin' Life Again"

"Start Livin' Life Again"


Money can't buy you happiness
And that drinkin' can cause you pain
Yeah that stuff you put up your nose
It can drive you insane
Why do you do these things?
You're killing yourself each day
So you better get down on your knees
And ask the good Lord to take it away

Let the rain stop fallin'
Let the sun shine again
Let your heart stop cryin'
Let the good Lord be with you my friend
And Start Livin' Life Again

Time with your family is precious
Take a good look at yourself
You've been burning the candle at both ends
Don't you think it's time to got help?
Let your spirit fly and you won't need to get high anymore
Ask him into your life...
'Cause he can open up ANY door!

Let the rain stop fallin'
Let the sun shine again
Let your heart stop cryin'
Let the good Lord be with you my friend
Start Livin' Life Again!
Start Livin' Life Again
Just live again...

"Still Unbroken"

"Still Unbroken"


Broken bones, broken hearts
Stripped down and torn apart
A little bit of rust - I'm still runnin'

Countin' miles, countin' tears
Twisted roads, shiftin' gears
Year after year - it's all or nothin'

But I'm not home, I'm not lost
Still holdin' on to what I got
Ain't much left
No there's so much that's been stolen
I guess I've lost everything I've had
But I'm not dead, at least not yet
Still alone, still alive, Still UNBROKEN
I'm still alone, still alive,
I'M STILL UNBROKEN

Never captured, never tamed
Wild horses on the plains
You can call me lost - I call it FREEDOM

I feel the spirit in my soul
It's something Lord I can't control
I'M NEVER GIVIN UP WHILE I'M STILL BREATHIN!

I'm not home, I'm not lost
Still holdin' on to what I got
Ain't much left
Lord there's so much that's been stolen
I guess I've lost everything I've had
I'm not dead, at least not yet
Still alone, still alive, Still UNBROKEN
I'm still alone, still alive,
STILL UNBROKEN
I'm still unbroken
Still Unbroken

Like the wind, like the rain
It's all runnin through my veins
Like a river pouring down into the ocean

I'm out here on the streets
But I'm standing on my feet
Still alive, still alone, still unbroken

I'm not home, I'm not lost
Still holdin' on to what I got
Ain't much left
Lord there's so much that's been STOLEN
Guess I've lost everything I've had
But I'm not dead, at least not yet
Still alive, still alone, Still Unbroken
I'm still alone, still alive,
I'M STILL UNBROKEN

I'M STILL ALONE!
STILL ALIVE!
STILL UNBROKEN!
I'M STILL UNBROKEN!

I ain't never going down!
I'M STILL UNBROKEN!
Oooooooh-Ooooooh!

"Storm"

"Storm"


There was a time that you believed
That nothing could happen to you
You were in a place - deep in a hole
So dark that you could not see

Everyday the rain won't fall
The sun will come out and shine on us all
There's a light at the end for you my friend
Oh, take it from me...
The Storm will someday end
Will someday end

So much has changed inside your heart
We can tell it's tearin' you apart
We share your pain and feel your hurt
But holy water cleanses the dirt

Everyday the rain won't fall
The sun will come out and shine on us all
There's a light at the end for you my friend
Oh, take it from me...
The Storm will someday end

Yeah
You were
Stuck in a hole

Everyday the rain won't fall
The sun will come out and shine on us all
There's a light at the end for you my friend
Oh, take it from me...
Everyday the rain won't fall
The sun will come out and shine on us all
There's a light at the end for you my friend
Oh, take it from me...
The Storm will someday end
It's gonna end
It's gotta end!
