A lot of people telling me that we should be happy, A lot of folks are saying that it could've been worse, But they don't walk around in the skin that were wearing, So they don't get to preach about what we should do first, (Chorus) Ooooooh it don't get much better, To live behind these eyes, You can't even love me when I'm wrong, How you gonna love me when I'm gone, All the while it seems I'm going nowhere, But a lot of things change while standing still, And if every day we're living baby is a battleground, Then the kind of life you gets up to your will, (Chorus) Oh oh it don't get much better, To live behind these eyes, You can't even love me when I'm wrong, How you gonna love me when I'm gone, When I'm gone, When I'm gone, Whoa will you baby, How you gonna love me, You can't even love me when I'm wrong, How you gonna love me when I'm gone, When I'm gone, You can't even love me when I'm wrong, How you gonna love me when I'm gone, Hold me down my baby,

Well a long time ago in a town we don't know there's a story that we've long forgotten, There's an old stream they say where the bodies might lay where the corpses of ghosts have long rottened, I can tell you a story of the pain and the glory and the things that make men come undone, I can tell you a tale of the West and the way of the gun, (Chorus) Sinners same the saints, their bodies where they lay and they'll never be moving no more, They believed hard enough, blood needed be shed, now they're laying all gray on the floor, Well the bullets they flew as grown men screamed and writhed, their murderers fled, for old men's greed and lies, The sun will still set and the world will spin on just the same… just the same, Now that they've bled don't glorify them, How bout instead we rectify this, I can see it in your eyes that you really want to try, Is this hill that you've chosen the one upon which you must die… you must die, (Chorus) Sinners same the saints, their bodies where they lay and they'll never be moving no more, They believed hard enough, blood needed be shed, now they're laying all gray on the floor, Well the bullets they flew as grown men screamed and writhed, their murderers fled, all for men's greed and lies, The sun will still set and the world will spin on just the same… just the same,

Old man you've been gone over 100 days, from the moment you spoke up I’ve tried to mend my ways, much less drinking and drugging I ain't living in a haze, no more eating myself into an early grave, Got my head over the grindstone chase these dreams, know the fabric of life you showed me where to find the seams, yeah I got my hands dirty but I kept my nose clean, those lessons you gave me, opened everything, Now's your turn to wear the crown, Who will be your hero now, Burdens yours to carry out, Though life's wheels will grind you down, My righteous woman, what can't you do, been building our whole world just we two, all the hills that we've crested, and the trials we've climbed through, yes this life is full of doubt but I've never doubted you, Love just don't cover the way you make me feel, it's not the wine and roses but the s*** under our heels, it's the kind of strife you live through to let you know what love is real, cause in a world so full of liars you've got nothing to conceal, Cause a rose is not a rose, Without thorns to make you bleed, Till the soil and cull that weed, girl you give me all I need, Oh my sweet love child there's so much to know, though it seems like you may have been here before, you're as strong as your name girl as far as namesakes go, and the world you've been brought to who's cold you'll soon know, Don't live in fear child you got to carry on, you know the plight of the weak becomes the burden of the strong, and before I leave this plane girl you're going to know which side you're on because it's never just as simple as a basic right or wrong, What I see is part of me, she's greater than I'll ever be, I will have to go someday but these words of mine will stay, all the way through this life you'll find a path, find love and pride you'll learn it all, forget most, then at the end, you're gonna pray to ghosts, Cuz baby this life, when you're living it right, so long, soo long, My baby it’s life, oh it’s your life, soo long, sooooo long, Baby so long, I love you so long, sooo long, oooooh, Baby it’s life, all the days and nights, are yours to live right, So long, So long, So long, So long,

Don't make a sound, It's already gone to far now, Don't tell me lies, we've already said our goodbyes, Never come back, This movie has faded to black, What could you need, that you haven't just taken from me, from me, (½ Chorus) When it's over, and it's all been said and done, and you fear you'll never feel this way again for anyone, All the days we spent together, Only seem like dreams of never, And the time we spent trying not to face the truth, I can see it in the rearview, wasn't clear now but reveals you, Yeah a heart once full is now an empty room, much too soon, (Chorus) When it's over, and it's all been said and done, and you fear you'll never feel this way again for anyone, It'll hurt something fierce, pain may linger for years, but there's one more thing to know, that the hardest things not breaking up it's letting go, [Musical Interlude] (Chorus) When it's over, and it's all been said and done, and you fear you'll never feel this way again for anyone, It'll hurt something fierce, pain may linger for years, but there's one more thing to know, that the hardest things not breaking up it's letting go, That the hardest things not breaking up it's, letting go, That the hardest things not breaking up it's, letting go,

I was born on a bedroll in the sand, by the time that I could walk I had a pistol in my hand, And b y the time that I was speaking papa counted me a man, and I did that devils bidding there at… daddies right hand, We’d roam across the land, taking all that we could see, I didn’t ever fear no evil cause the devil rode with me, Til one day me and poppa, we spied prey out on the land, we cut down two peasant lovers and left their seed out in the sand, (Chorus) And that, Boys how it’s done, When you're living by the gun, you stand and you don’t run, You can’t trust anyone, God speed be on your side, If not you’re gonna die, my son this ain’t no lie. My father told me boy your word it best be pure as gold, And mama said do good so that the Lord will keep my soul, But I watched my saintly mother, and my cattle driving dad, get gunned down by two madmen left to bleed out on the land From that day on I trained and started living by the gun, so I could make men pay for all the evil that they’ve done, For years layed down the law then finally found them on the range, Read them last rights then shot those motherfuckers in the face, (Chorus) And that’s, Just how it’s done, Living by the gun, Stand and you don’t run, You can’t trust anyone, God speed be on your side, If not you’re gonna die, And that’s, Just how it’s done, When living by the gun, you stand and you don’t run, You can’t trust anyone, God speed be on your side, If not you’re gonna die,

I can't deny the truth, I know you feel it too, I found you broken, yet it's you that made me whole, as long as I live this heart of mine is yours, (Chorus) Take my hand, and don't ever let it go, from now on girl you are mine and I am yours, Take my hand, and don't ever let it go, from now on girl you are mine and I am yours, I'd walk a thousand miles to breathe the air you breathe, You are the one and know you'll always be, (Chorus) Take my hand, and don't ever let it go, from now on girl you are mine and I am yours, Take my hand, and don't ever let it go, from now on girl you are mine and I am yours,

You tore it apart, What once was a home, I'm not gonna lie, You had me so low, You were a heart breaking floozy, What you did should be a crime, It took some time, But I gotta tell you darlin' you are the last thing on my mind, We’re ussing and fighting, all of the time, you tried to break me, but I drew the line, And we ain't been fine, not for a long, long time, But I gotta tell you darlin' you are the last thing on my mind, [Musical Interlude] We went separate ways, thought we laid this to rest, but you kept comin' back, put my will to the test, you had that good cat little darlin', loving you's like doing time, Hard time But I gotta tell you mama you are the last thing on my mind, How's your lovin' so hot, when your blood is so cold, if you hadn't stole mine, you wouldn't have no soul, everyone saw how wrong you did me, but it took me time to see through your lies, But I gotta tell you mama you are the last thing on my mind,

There came a day, when I closed my eyes, when I decided, to believe my lies, I told myself it would all be ok, that she'd hang on for another day, I remember that phone call, all too well, words wouldn't come to me, my tears they fell, They told me she'd left us, around 6am, and that's when I realized, I'd never see her again, No she won't be here, to dry my tears nor can she calm me now, or quell my fears, When I hung that phone up, I was so confused, cause she's the one I'd have called, to ask what I should do, (Chorus) She'd say spend all your money, on love and good times, make sure it's your passion boy, causing all of your crime, She’d say don't let your fear, define who you might be, the road is quite long son, if life's as it should be, it seemed like just seconds, I was way across town, that we lowered her gently, into the ground, I can barely remember, who was there that day, they all just walked up to me, with such nice things to say, I sat at that gravesite, till they had all gone, I had to apologize, for being so wrong, From days into years now, from that night till today, whenever I close my eyes, I know just what she'd say, (Chorus) She'd say spend all your money, on love and good times, Make sure it's your passion boy, causing all of your crimes, She’d say don't let your fear, define who you might be, And whenever you're happy boy, oh please think of me, Spend all your money, on love and good times, Make sure it's your passion boy, causing all of your crimes, She say don't let your fear, define who you might be, And whenever you're happy boy, oh please think of me, When the sun hits your face, In the smile of your child, When things are uncertain boy, Or when life gets too wild, May the world feel that fire, which resides in your soul, And baby boy if God willing, You'll find peace and grow old, Find peace and grow old.
