[Verse 1] It's not a battle but we're goin' head to head It's hardly diplomatic repeatin' what's been said Once we're down to parsin' out the words There's two of us talkin' and none of us being heard [Chorus] I couldn't see beyond the day I said things I didn't mean to say Do I wanna be happy Or wanna be right?

[Verse 1] Don't look for me on Sunday morning I'll not darken the door Of the churches where the word is Said to be perfect and pure They're quotin' Bibles, denouncing idles Claiming no questions left They'd be closer to the truth If they'd only pay attention to the words Written in red [Chorus] Oh, the words written in red They're the words the...Learn More

[Verse 1] I've always found myself right before the dawn In the quiet hour before the sunlight comes on In the daytime we're rushin' 'round Ever since we were kids in this town [Chorus] And that's when all we could ask Was to be workin' class Watch and learn your craft From those who came before you From those who came before [Verse 2] I learned...Learn More

[Verse 1] I'm rising up to the top of the loser's bracket Moving up in a world with a hard limit And I've tried, tried, Lord knows I've tried I've tried, Lord knows I've tried I'm the kind of man that every woman wants Have a mind to find one when I sober up And I've tried, tried, Lord knows I've tried I've tried, Lord knows I've...Learn More

[Verse 1] I drank my last drops of high life Under a white oak in the rain I'll stay dry for a while anyway I'll be a grandpa come November I did okay at the wedding If I say the right words at the right time I can come off As a pretty good guy [Chorus] One more stop along the way Load me up heavy, I can take the pain I wish I could go back and do...Learn More

[Verse 1] Wish I was a Rockefeller, wish I was a richer fella Wish I was a Carnegie with money far as I can see But I'm flat busted Here in Knoxville, Tennessee But I don't owe nobody nothin' and nobody's got no paper held on me [Chorus] I'd be content for sure if I had a little bit more I've been gettin' by with what is mine I've been gettin' by...Learn More

[Verse 1] Snow lays heavy on the ground I need to work, but I can't get out We've got food for a week or two I guess we've got what we need for now I worked a job for a man I called a neighbor Decided he was rich enough that he didn't have to pay me But he used me as long as he could Then he cursed me and sent me on my way [Chorus] Life dealt us a...Learn More

A clover leaf winds me around Then it straight lines for days and I'm westward bound I've got a sandwich on the seat Coffee strong and sweet Three quarters of a tank full from the job I quit last week Wonderin' if I've left anything worth keepin' or There was something I should've saved But it's the baby with the bathwater, I'm off the beaten...Learn More
