"Back To Tennessee" (2009)

Back To Tennessee Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Fancy cars and diamond rings,
I seen all kinds of shiny things,
I should be feelin' like a king,
But lord I don't.

Great big towns, so full of users.
Make a million, still a loser.
Some may bet on you to win,
Most hope you won't.

Livin' wild, ain't no mercy being free,
When it brings you to your knees.
Can't keep lying.

I've seen the road now,
I know just what I need,
To find my way back to Tennessee.
I'm going home now,
To Southern, is so sweet,
And find my way back to Tennessee

I was only seventeen,
I lived behind my beauty queen,
I turned my back on everything,
And everyone.

Rooms with lots of pretty faces,
Still don't fill the empty spaces,
Wanderin' where Amazing Grace is,
There is none, no.

Now I know, there's no comfort in this world.
God I miss that hometown girl,
Want to hold her.

I'm on the road now,
I know just what I need,
To find my way back to Tennessee.
I'm coming home now,
To Southern, is so sweet,
And find my way back to Tennessee

All this time I was chasing after dreams,
It was right in front of me,
I was lost without her.

I'm on the road now,
I know just what I need,
To find my way back to Tennessee.
I'm coming home now,
To Southern, is so sweet,
And find my way back to you and me,
Find my way back to Tennessee.

Thrillbilly Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Shootin' at a beer can on a fence post
Drivin' to your girlfriend's on a backhoe
Goin' skinny'dippin' on an old wood dock
Startin' up a bonfire with gasoline
Seein' who can get higher on a rope swing
Burnin' up your new tires in the parkin lot

Let me tell you right now
Just in case u don't know

[Chorus:]
That's thrillbilly
Real hillbilly
That's thrillbilly
Till the cows come home
That's down-home style
Mixed with buck wild
So get on down and you'll be proud
Of how you roll
That's thrillbilly [x2]

Flippin' off a barn roof into a haystack
Sippin' on some homebrew sittin' outback
Thinkin' it'd be col to build a submarine
Dragin' down a two lane with your lights off
Hoppin' on a freight train at a feed lot
Raisin' you some bi cain- in john deere green
Here's come bubba on his four-wheeler
"Hey man, y'all watch this"

[Chorus:]
That's thrillbilly
Real hillbilly
That's thrillbilly
Till the cows come home
That's down-home style
Mixed with buck wild
So get on down and you'll be proud
Of how you roll
That's thrillbilly [x2]
OH!, hillbilly

So get on down and you'll be proud
Of how you roll

He's Mine Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Old man knocked on my front door
With a teenage boy and a couple more from up the road
He had him by the collar
Said he caught him shootin'beer bottles
Down in the holler and somkin'
I said is that right
He said, they won't speak when spoken to
So which one here belongs to you
And I know one does
Cause they all started runnin' to your back forty
When they saw me comin' on my gator
I look in the eye

And I said, He's mine that one
Got a wild-hair side and them some
There's no surprise what He's done
He's ever last bit of my old man's son
If you knew me then
There 'd be no question in your mind
You'd know he's mine- yeah he is

Friday night the football games
I was livin' for the speakers
To call the name
On the back of number thirty-seven
Just one Forty-five
And five foot eleven - maybe

Limelight barely shined on hime
But everyone still remember when
He whooped up on that boy way bigger
For thinkin' that cheap shot our little kicker
And they threw him out
Man, you should've, you should've hear me shot

I yelled he's mine that one
Got a wild-hair side and then some
There's No surprise what he's done
He's every last last bit of my old man's son
And I'll take the blame
And claim him every time
Yeah man, he's mine and he'll always be
The best thing that ever happened to me
You can't turn it off like electricity
I will love him unconditionally
And I'll take the blame
And claim him every time
Yes, sir he's mine
Thank god, he's mine

Somebody Said A Prayer Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

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

A Good Day Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Saw you at the football games
Everybody knew your name
Once or twice I'd see you smile at me
I was scared to ask you out
I was sure that you would turn me down
But I took that chance
Cause how would that be
Then what do you know
you said you'd go and there we were

Walking barefoot down by the water
Sun was hot
But you made it hotter
Found that shade tree there by the riverbank
Sitting there, our toes all muddy
That first kiss
was sweeter than honey
And every time that I look back
I say, man That was a good day

We all have our memories
The ones we lose
The ones we keep
The one we know we'll always hold on to
I've had my days, good and bad
But the best ones that I've has
Always seem to start and end with you

Yeah, those are the times
I know that I won't forget
Like that july 4th hugged up by the levy
You squeezed me hard
And told me you loved me
Fireworks flying
Talking our breath away

Felt like we were melting together
Thinking I could do this forever
And every time that I look back
I say, man that was a good day
When we're finished with this ride
And we on the other side
Bet we'll look back on this life

And say man that was a good day
Man that was a good day
Man that was a good day
Man that was a good day
Man that was a good day
Man that was a good day
Oh that, was a good day
Man that was a good day

I saw you at the football games
Everybody knew your name
Once or twice I'd seen you smile at me

I Could Be The One Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I've been waiting for your cell to ring anytime now

Maybe I'm not to certain on what I need
But a man like me gotta suceed
And baby let me tell you something

[CHORUS]

Like Nothing Else Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Sometimes I catch myself staring
When you don't know I'm looking
I still can't believe how lucky I got
Everywhere I look I see
A lot of the same ole same thing
But baby, you were different from the start
I thank God each day
That I get to hold an original

[CHORUS:]
Baby, you're like nothing else
The closer I get the more I can tell
I could look all my life
And never find a woman like you
Your smile, your eyes, your touch, your kiss
They're all like fingerprints
You're one of a kind, A moment in time
You're like nothing else

The way you talk, the way you think
The way you love me crazy
The way you get to me like no one has before
You could get away with murder
When you look at me that way
When I think I've seen it all you show me more
When you get this close
It's easy to know the difference

[CHORUS x2]

You're like nothing else
You're like nothing else
You're like nothing else
You're like nothing else

Country As Country Can Be Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I grew up on Jones and Tammy Wynette
Blue collar dollars and the sun on my neck
Nascar and earnhart, still miss number three
Hey, I'm just as country as country can be
Wide open spaces fit me like a glove
Still live for my truck to be covered in mud
I got hard workin hands, I got boots on my feet
And I'm just as country as country can be

Hey I'm just as country as country can be
Red, white and blue are the colors I bleed
I thank the all mighty for the land of the free
And I'm just as country as country can be

I hear all this talk about time for a chance
I can't help but wonder what's wrong with the same
Who I am already is alright with me
Though I'm just as country as country can be

Hey I'm just as country as country can be
Red, white and blue are the colors I bleed
I thank the all mighty for the land of the free
And I'm just as country as country can be
Hey I'm just as country as country can be

Love Is The Lesson Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Out on the highway the traffic's congested
The streets are infested with people
Feels like I'm stuck in this automobile
Trying to get through the eye of the needle

I'm just wanting to find my place
In a rat race that nobody's winning
I'm just as guilty as anyone
This ain't the way that I ought a be living

Ooh, one of these days I'm gonna listen
Ooh, whoa, life is a teacher and love is a lesson
Yes it is, oh yeah

Haven't we come a long way, baby?
Since the things that they taught us in history
Been all the way to the moon and back
But the heart of the matter's a mystery

We're all headed for a fiery crash
And nobody knows when it's coming
Just look at this helter skelter world
Man, it's no wonder everyone's running

Ooh, one of these days I'm gonna listen
Ooh, whoa, life is a teacher and love is a lesson
Love is a lesson, children

With crime in the street and the cold and the heat
And the pain that the people are feeling
Don't you all think it's time we all stood together
And let love be the healer?

Ohh, love is the lesson, yes it is
Life is a teacher, love is the lesson, yeah
Oh, yes it is

Love is the lesson
Life is a teacher, love is the lesson, yeah
You gotta know love is the lesson

Ooh, love is the lesson
Ooh, love is the lesson
Ooh, love is the lesson
Ooh, love is the lesson

Give It To Somebody Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I've been walking up and down this road
Missing something, searching high and low
Grabbing anything I could hold
Holding tight and never letting go
Talking too much of everything I wanted
Got me thinking about what I really need
The only thing I'm taking when I'm leaving
Is something to believe in

What good is a heart not loving
What good are those arms not hugging
What good is that smile you're smiling
Till you give it to somebody
Take a look at that life you're living
All you're got and all you've been given
What good is all the good you're getting
Till you give it to somebody
Whoa whoa whoa
You gotta give it to somebody

You see the little moments everywhere
When all somebody needed was somone who cared
Someone to say, left me help you there
Is there anything I can do
I still remember the way it felt
To feel a helping hand when I needed help
And the words what good is what you've got give
If you keep it all to yourself

What good is a heart not loving
What good are those arms not hugging
What good is that smile you're smiling
Till you give it to somebody
Take a look at that life you're living
All you're got and all you've been given
What good is all the good you're getting
Till you give it to somebody
Whoa whoa whoa
You gotta give it to somebody

What good is a heart not loving
What good are those arms not hugging
What good is that smile you're smiling
Till you give it to somebody yeah
Take a look at that life you're living
All you're got and all you've been given
What good is all the good you're getting
Till you give it to somebody

What good is all the good you're getting
Till you give it to somebody
Whoa whoa whoa
You gotta give it to somebody

Real Gone Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I'm American made, apple pie, Chevrolet
My momma taught me wrong from right.

I was born in the South
Sometimes I have a big mouth
When I see something that I don't like
I gotta say it.

Well, we've been driving this road for a mighty long time
Paying no mind to the signs
Well, this neighborhood's changed
It's all been rearranged
We left that dream somewhere behind.

Slow down, you're gonna crash,
Baby you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out babe, you've got your blinders on
Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone
Real gone.
Real gone.

But there's a new cat in town
He's got high-faded friends
Thinks he's gonna change history

You think you know him so well
Yeah you think he's so swell
But he's just perpetuatin' prophecy

(oh, c'm on)
Slow down, you're gonna crash,
Baby you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out, you've got your blinders on
Everybody's looking for a way
To get real gone
Real gone.
Real gone.
Real gone.
Uhh.

Well you can say what you want
But you can't say it 'round here
'Cause they'll catch you and give you a whippin'

Well, I believe I was right when I said you were wrong
You didn't like the sound of that
Now, did ya?

Slow down, you're gonna crash,
Baby you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out, you've got your blinders on
Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone

Well here I come and I'm so not scared,
Got my pedal to the metal, got my hands in the air
Look out, you take your blinders off
Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone
Real gone.
Real gone.
Ooh.
Real gone.
Real gone.

Butterfly Fly Away Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

You tuck me in,
Turn out the light
kept me safe and sound at night
little girls depend on things like that

Brush my teeth and combed my hair
had to drive me everywhere
you were always there when I looked back

You had to do it all alone
Make a live, make a home
Must have been as hard as it could be

And when I couldn't sleep at night
Scare things wouldn't turn out right
you would hold my hand and sing to me

Caterpillar in the tree, how you wonder who you'll be
can't go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
don't you worry hold on tight.
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly Fly Away
Butterfly Fly Away (butterfly fly away)

Catch your wing now you cant stay
Take those dreams and make them all come true
Butterfly Fly Away (butterfly fly away)
We been waiting for this day
All along and know just what to do
Butterfly,Butterfly,Butterfly,
Butterfly Fly Away

(Butterfly Fly Away)

(Butterfly Fly Away)

"Home At Last" (2007)

Ready, Set, Don't Go Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

She's gotta do what she's gotta do
And I've gotta like it or not
She's got dreams too big for this town
And she needs to give 'em a shot
Whatever they are

Looks like she's all ready to leave
Nothing left to pack
There ain't no room for me in that car
Even if she asked me to tag along
God I gotta be strong

She's at the startin' line of the rest of her life
As ready as she's ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in her eyes
The prize is hers to win
She's waitin' on my blessings before she hits that
open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Don't go

She says things are fallen into place
Feels like they're fallen apart
I painted this big ol' smile on my face
To hide my broken heart
If only she knew
This is where I don't say what I want so bad to say
This is where I want to but I won't get in the way
Of her and her dreams
And spreadin' her wings

She's at the startin' line of the rest of her life
As ready as she's ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in her eyes
The prize is hers to win
She's waitin' on my blessings before she hits that
open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Don't go

She's at the startin' line of the rest of her life
As ready as she's ever been
Got the hunger and the stars in her eyes
The prize is hers to win
She's waitin' on my blessings before she hits that
open road
Baby get ready
Get set
Please don't go

Don't go
Don't go
She's gotta do what she's gotta do
She's gotta do what she's gotta do

The Beginning Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

That day
The day that you wakled through
My life story
Every nedd that i
Was praying for
Was gone

I love
I love that you love me
For who i am
And i smile because
That ring on your hand
Means i'm a lucky man

[Chorus:]
Cause i know what i've been living for all this time
And i swear
I could die right now
Having lived a life
And just think
It was only
The beginning

That night
The night our little girl
Would change our life
You looked up at me
And cryed and smiled
As we held our child

I fell
I fell in love with her
Blue eyes and curls
And i swear to god
There's nothing in this world
I won't do for that girl

[Chorus]

Now the kids will grow up
And grow kids of their own
And the day will come
When i'll be gone
When there's nothing left
For pictures and stories
I pray that they'll know who to give the glory

Cause i know
What i've been living for all this time
And i swear
If i die right now
I've lived a life
And just think
When i see
Oh just think
You know i'll be
Oh just think
Whe i'm standing in his grace

It is only
The beginning

Flying By Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

It's bottles and bibs, rattles and cribs
Three am's again and again
Comfort the cry
Man, it's flying by

Swings and slides and tricycle rides
Skinning up knees and falling out of trees
It's like it's never gonna end
But it's flying by

You better hold on tight to those little lives
In the blink of an eye it's out of sight
I know, I know to go so slow
But it's flying by

Then it's braces and boots and bad attitudes
Boys and phones and every change in moods
Trying times, man, but you'll survive
And it's supposed to be home at ten
You're late again
Where the heck you been
When you're yelling and screaming
It don't seem like it's flying by
But it's flying by

You better hold on tight to those changing lives
In the blink of an eye they're out of sight
I know, I know it seems so slow
But it's flying by

There they go on their own
Flying by
You're waving good bye with a tear in your eye
I know, I know you go so slow but it's flying by

They come back home and what do you know
Them kids have got some kids of their own
You can't believe how much they've grown
And where the time's gone

You look in the mirror there's gray in your hair
You're wondering how the world did that get there
It just ain't fair how it's flying by

You better hold on tight to that sweet, sweet life
In the blink of an eye they're out of sight
I know, I know it goes so slow
But it's flying by

When it's hospital beds
Last words said, did I do enough
Holding hands and being there for the leaving

It's a line of cars parked on a hill
Family and friends perfectly still
A prayer and a song as they lowered it down into the ground

You better hold on tight it's a short, short life
In the blink of an eye it's out of sight
I know, I know it seems so slow

Yeah, it seems so slow but it's flying by
It's flying by

It's flying by
It's flying by
Enjoy the ride

Brown Eyed Girl Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Hey, where did we go
Days when the rain came
Down in the hollow
Playing a new game
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog where
Our, our hearts a-thumping
And you, my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl

And whatever happened, Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine with a Transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hide behind a rainbows wall
Slipping and a-sliding all along the waterfall
With you, my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
La dee dah

So hard to find my way now that I'm all on my own
Saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking about
Holding Hands in the green grass behind the stadium
With you, my brown eyed girl
Yeah, you, my brown eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
La dee dah
La dee dah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah

You've Got A Friend Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together now or call my name out loud
And soon I'll be knocking upon your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Don't you know that
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I'll be there

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you
Or they'll take your soul if you let them
Ah, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Don't you know that
Winter spring summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes, I'll be there
You've got a friend

You've got a friend

I Can't Live Without Your Love Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I walk around like a nervous wreck
I'm a fool, but what the heck
I'm standing here up to my neck in desire
I wanna call, want you to know
What I'm feeling in my soul
Girl, I tried, but I can't control this fire

It's killing me
You're all I see
One life is not enough
You're all I need, the air I breathe
I can't live without your love

I've been searching all my life
Just to feel this way inside
Now that I do I just can't hide no more
The touch, the feel of your skin
Makes me feel alive again
And it shakes me to the core

It's killing me
You're all I see
One life is not enough
You're all I need, the air I breathe
I can't live without your love

I just wanna hold you
For the rest of my life

You're all I need, the air I breathe
I can't live without your love
Can't live without your love

I walk around like a nervous wreck
I'm a fool, but what the heck
I can't live without your love
I want to call, want you to know
What I'm feeling in my soul
I can't live without your love

My Everything Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Oh, how I love you
And I always will
Forever and ever
Till times standing still
Know that your with me
Like the air that I breathe
I'll be beside you
And fight for your dreams

Cause you are my everything
Everything I am because of you
You are my sunshine, my wind and my rain
You are my everything

All of my sorrow has been washed away
All my tomorrows are with you today
Someone would ask me
Son, what is your dream
I'd show them your picture
And smile at a dream

Cause you are my everything
Everything I am because of you
You are my sunshine, my wind and my rain
You are my everything
You are my everything
You are my everything
My everything

Put A Little Love In Your Heart Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart

You see it's getting late
Oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and you'll see

Another day goes by
Still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart

If you want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
All the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and you'll see
Wait and see

Take a good look around
And if you're looking down
Put a little love in your heart

I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart

And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see

Well, put a little love in your heart
You got to
Put a little love in your heart
Put a little love in your heart
There's no other way
Put a little love in your heart
It's up to you, babe
Put a little love in your heart ...

Over The Rainbow Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of once
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I

Stand Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus (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.

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?

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

[Chorus:]
Stand, for what you believe in
Stand, for all that is right

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...

"Wanna Be Your Joe" (2006)

Wanna Be Your Joe Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Joe works at the steel mill
Works damn near every day
Leaves for work when the sun comes up
Drops the kids at school along the way
(Kids at school along the way)

When the night is falling
He gets home and hugs his wife
He says how much he missed her
And that he loves her more than life, yeah

More than life

Joe may never be a rich man
No lawyer, or movie star
He may not own the finest jewelry
And he may not drive the nicest car
Joe has everything he dreamed of
All the treasures that he needs
No wonder Joe's always smiling
He only aims to please, yeah

Let me be your Joe
I just wanna love you
And watch our babies grow
I may not be no millionaire
But I want you to know
I wanna be your Joe

You are just a woman and I am just a man
Though I may not feel every need
I hope you understand

I wanna be your Joe
I wanna be your Joe
Let me be your Joe
I just wanna love you
And watch our babies grow
I may not be no millionaire
But I want you to know
I wanna be your Joe
Let me be your Joe

I just wanna love you
I just wanna be your man
I just wanna hold you
Love you with all that I am
I wanna be your Joe
Let me be your Joe

I wanna be your Joe

I Want My Mullet Back Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Bell bottoms were really cool
Cuttin' class an' skippin' school
I 'member packin' that ol' fishin' pole
Skinny-dippin' at a swimmin' hole
Back light, red lights an' strobe lights too,
Were all the rage for me an' you
Only one thing I miss more than that:
I want my mullett back

I want my mullet back
My ol' Camero, an' my eight-track
Fuzzy dice hangin' loose an' proud
ZZ Top, they're playin' loud
A simple time, that's what I miss
Your mini-skirt an' your sweet kiss
Things are changin' man, an' that's a fact
I want my mullet back

Back. Back
Back. Back
Back. Back

I want my mullet back
My ol' Camero, an' my eight-track
Fuzzy dice hangin' loose an' proud
Lynrd Skynrd, they're playin' loud
A simple time, that's what I miss
Your mini-skirt an' your sweet kiss
Things are changin' man, and that's a fact
I want my mullet back

I want my mullet back
My ol' Camero, an' my eight-track
Fuzzy dice hangin' loose an' proud
Bob Seger singin' an' I'm out in the crowd
A simple time, that's what I miss
Your mini-skirt an' your sweet kiss
Things are changin' man, and that's a fact
I want my mullet back

I want my mullet back
I want my mullet back
I want my mullet back
I want my mullet back
Ow!

The Man Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Awww but something sure is missin
Somethings just aint the same

Now he thinks back on yesterday
All those victory lanes

Better wars just to steal the race
And to taste that sweet champagne

You either loved him or you hated him
Intimidation was to blame

Now Days each time they drop that flag
Somethings just aint the same

Somethings just aint the same
Ohhh they miss The Man Today

So they standin next to cheer
And Wish The Man Was here
Somethings Just aint the same

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

awww he starts up that old chevy truck
And he leaves the parking lot

Hes thinks of all he'd done today
and he thanks god for what hes got

His Youngest Son sittin by his side
Dale Jr's Still a Fan

He knows the future's lookin bright
But He Wont Forget The Man

Somethings just aint the same
Ohhh they miss The Man Today

So they standin next to cheer
And Wish The Man Was here
Somethings Just never change

So they standin next to cheer
and toast him with their beer
Somethings will never change
Nooo no noooo

[Softer Spoken]
Theres a Three Upon his ball cap
and a three upon his shirt
He Remembers how he ran this track
and all those old ones in the dirt

I Wouldn't Be Me Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

If I never see your smile again,
Or never woke to touch your skin.
The truth would be so plain to see,
If I couldn't love you, I wouldn't be me.

If the night couldn't kiss the morning sun,
Like a river that has no place to run.
God only knows where I might be,
If I couldn't love you I wouldn't be me.

If you hadn't of come into my life,
I'd be forever wondering why
I never found my destiny.
If I couldn't love you, I wouldn't be me.

And when the Master calls us home,
I hope and pray our hearts live on
And be as one eternity, Cause
If I couldn't love you, I wouldn't be me.

God only knows where I might be,
If I couldn't love you, I wouldn't be me.

If you hadn't of come into my life,
I'd be forever wondering why
I never found my destiny.
If I couldn't love you, I wouldn't me

I Wonder Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Cruisin' downtown in your Camaro,
REO Speedwagon on the stereo.
It's kind of catchy,
Kind of a virus,
Cutting your hair like Billy Ray Cyrus.
You're probably bummed,
You probably cried,
You're probably sad that the guy from Lynrd Skynrd died,
You're probably singing "oh, oh, oh",
All night long.
Feel the power of the PHANTOM MULLET,
Tremble and cower from the PHANTOM MULLET,
White metal burn of the PHANTOM MULLET,
Combed straight or permed it's the PHANTOM MULLET,
And you, cutting it short on top,
I want that for me.
Growing it long in the back,
So savage and so free.
Drop into first you're taking it slow,
You're such a rock-star,
You could never know.
I wish I was singing, "oh, oh, oh",
All night long.

Hey Daddy Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

[Spoken]
Yeah you know
Time sure does fly by
It just goes on and on and on
One day you look up
Its all gone
Tomorrow's yesterday

Once there was this working man
Never standing still
Always with his nose to the ground stone
One day his little girl asked
Just as he walked past
She called out "are you leaving home?"

[Chorus]
Hey Daddy why you always gone away?
Hey Daddy, cant you stick around and play?
Can't you see I'm growing fast?
This time here will never last
Hey Daddy, think of me today

Funny how times seems to change
How they rearrange
So quick and yet so true
That little girl is a mama now
She grew up somehow
Left an old man feeling blue
he heard her say

Hey Daddy why you always gone away?
Hey Daddy can't you stick around and play?
Can't you see I"m growing fast?
This time here will never last
Hey Daddy, think of me today
Hey Daddy, think of me today

Stand Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus (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.

Your gonna be alright
Stand, just reach deep inside you
And be that shining light.

A Pain In The Gas Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Left for work this mornin'
Without any warnin'
That little tiny gage said it's that time
So I started lookin'
But I just kept on lookin'
As I read the prices there upon those signs

Soon I knew my luck was out
My tank was dry and just about
Put me on my feet and send me cryin'
So I pulled up to a pump
Feeling as dumb as a stump
Grabbed that nozzle and bent over one more time

It's a pain in my gas
It's killin' me so fast
All my hard earned money just thrown away
Blame bin Ladin or Sudan
Irak or Iran
All I know is this a-hurtin' just won't pass
There seems to be a real pain in my gas

So if you see me thumbin'
A-beggin' or a-bummin'
Ponder these three questions that I ask
Who's to blame for all my sorrow
Does relief lie in tomorrow
In the meantime could I borrow
A little cash

'cause there's a pain in my gas
It's killin' me so fast
All my hard earned money just thrown away
Blame bin Ladin or Sudan
Irak or Iran
All I know is this a-hurtin' just won't pass
There seems to be a real pain in my gas
Help me doctor there's a deep pain in my gas
Mr president there's a real pain in my gas

"Time Flies" (2003)

What Else Is There Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I've got a chair, you've got a bed,
We've got a dream or two running through our heads,
You can't cook, and I don't care,
What else is there?

I've got a car, you've got a room,
We can talk all night or make love by the moon,
Feel the love in the air,
What else is there?

[Chorus:]
People talk about troubles
Till there blue in the face,
Run around in circles
That's the whole human race,
I've got my own life figured out,
You're the sweetest thing I've ever found,
God's smilin' down,
What else is there?

You've got this calm, I'm kinda crazy,
Might be a real cool combination in a baby,
Your eyes, my hair,
What else is there?

[Chorus:]
People talk about troubles
Till there blue in the face,
Run around in circles
That's the whole human race,
I've got my own life figured out,
You're the sweetest thing I've ever found,
God's smilin' down,
What else is there?

Years from now, even then,
We'll get old and maybe go to bed by ten,
I'll hold your hand to climb the stairs,
What else is there?

Oh, What else is there?
What else is there?
What else is there?
What else is there?
What else is there?
(You know what we're talkin' about...)
What else is there?
What else is there?
What else is there?...

She Don't Love Me (She Don't Hate Me) Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

If I'd a seen her comin'
I'd a prob'ly tried to hide
But I came around the corner
She caught me by suprise
There was no ice cold shoulder
There was no ugly scene
She smiled and didn't say the things
I thought she'd say to me.

Well, it was nothin' like that rainy night
She left and slamed he door
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore.

Well I felt like some old neighbor
Just some guy that she once knew
You'd never know she loved me
And I broke her heart in two
Was she hidin' her emotions
Did she really get that strong
Right then she turned and introduced me
To her new friend Garth.

And I could tell the way he shook my hand
He'd never heard of me before
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore.

[Instrumental]

[Spoken]
No, there was no ice cold shoulder
And there was no ugly scene
She just smiled and didn't say the things
I just knew she'd say to me.

Yeah, she got so caught up in him
My memory's gone I know
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore.

And I know it might sound crazy
And I don't know what hurts me more
Is it the fact that she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore.

Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me, anymore...

Time Flies Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

It's living int he moment today
Got down ont he floor and played with my little girl
For a little while
It's crazy how much she's grown
It seems last I looked she was so small but she sure ain't now
But she's around that age her first memories are made
Oh I remember being that young once
I think it was yesterday
Time flies
Blows by
Feels like
I've missed so many things
Time flies
And sometimes
God I wish you'd clip it's wings
Another day is winding down
There you stand in that cotton gown
The one you wore when we first made love
Back when this was just a dream, no house, no kids
The only thing we had then was us
And babe I can't help but miss that now and then
'Cause all those old tomorrows
Ain't coming back again
Time flies
Blows by
Feels like
I've missed so many things
Time flies
And sometimes
God I wish you'd clip it's wings
Time flies
God I, God I wish you'd clip it's wings
God why can't you clip it's wings
Time flies
Time flies

I Luv Ya Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

You wake up, your hair's a mess
You're all legs in my old t-shirt
Ah, that's when you look the best
Oh, I luv ya
Fuzzy slippers, coffee mug
Rubbin' your eyes you say don't look
I swear I could eat you up
Girl, I luv ya

[Chorus:]
You don't need no red dress Mama
You don't need no big hairdo
A natural born beauty just the way you are
With twenty-two freckles and a rose tattoo

Out in the garden in garden gloves
Dirt on your cheek, A smile on your face
In the middle of buttercups
Baby, I luv ya

[Chorus:]
You don't need no red dress Mama
You don't need no big hairdo
A natural born beauty just the way you are
With twenty-two freckles and a rose tattoo

Cindy Crawford, she's all right
Julia Roberts, ah she just ain't my type
You on the couch in them old levis

Girl, I luv ya
Just what you are
Just what I like
God, I luv ya

I Still Believe Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Pick up the phone
I know you're home
I see your silhouette
From this rainy pay phone booth
I didn't mean what I said
I'm sorry I snapped and lost my head
Those angry words were so far from the truth

[Chorus:]
Baby, I still believe in love
Baby, I still believe in both of us
I'd die before I'd ever let you go
Until you're in my arms again
I'll fight for you 'til the very end
I still believe

[Bridge:]
I was wrong and I admit it
Hey, I was out of line
Now I pray my heart
Somehow can change your mind

[Chorus:]
Baby, I still believe in love
Baby, I still believe in both of us
I'd die before I'd ever let you go
Until you're in my arms again
I'll fight for you 'til the very end
I still believe

Without You Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I hear your footsteps down the hall
I check my messages but I don't hear you call
I think of days gone by and now I wonder why you left me
But I can't go on without you without you

Sometimes I wander on my way
Sometimes I just break down and pray
Sometimes I think of you and I don't know what to do
And I wonder how I will go on without you
How I will go on without your love
Without you no I can't go on without you
Without you

I can't stop missin' you oh if I only knew do you miss me
Cause I can't go on without you I can't go on without you
I can't go on without your love
Without you no I can't go on without you
No I can't go on without you oh no no no

I hear your footsteps down the hall
I check my messages but I don't hear you call
And once again I'm all alone without you
No I can't go on without you no I can't go on without you
No I can't go on without you no I can't go on without you

Hard To Leave Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

You heard the boss man call
I dread when that phone rings
Everytime... It's the same ole thing
I gotta job to do
But that's the easy part
What's really killin' me
Is this broken heart

[Chorus:]
You're hard to leave
Tough to go
A heartache's ahead
This I know
Missin' you
More than the air I breathe
Easy to love
But hard to leave

[Bridge:]
This heart of mine
Is cold and blind
It just wants to find
Your hand in mine

[Chorus]

Nobody Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Nobody came one night in May
No one to love her on that day
Story goes the rest
Is just a shame

There was no mothers open arms
No daddy there to shield her from the harm
Just another face without a name

Nobody wins...nobody gains
Nobody there to keep the baby from the rain
It's so unfair.....we all lose
Nobody there to sing a lullaby a love song or the blues
Nobody wins

Years passed and young got old
Things happened, nobody knows
Father Time stole her life away
They found her in an alleyway
A cold night in the month of May
And nobody....shed a tear...

Nobody wins....nobody gains
Nobody there to keep the baby from the rain
It's so unfair...we all lose
Nobody there to sing a lullaby a love song or the blues
Nobody wins

[Tag:]
Nobody's nobody again

Stand Still Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

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]

Back To Memphis Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

It ain't natural for a delta man
To be surrounded by all this sand
To fear the echoes of live rounds
And to never sleep when the sun goes down
So I'm writing you this letter
To say I miss you more than ever and to promise you this

When I make it back to memphis
I'm gonna take you in my arms
And never let you go
And girl I promise you a kiss
For every day we've missed
'til I make it back to memphis

I'll have to say I think we've done some good
If I had to do it all again I know I would
There's still a few shots every now and then
But they say this thing is finally coming to an end
So this might be my final letter
I say the sooner the better cause I'm ready to come home

When I make it back to memphis
I'm gonna take you in my arms
And never let you go
And girl I promise you a kiss
For every day we've missed
'til I make it back to memphis

She reads his letters everyday, then she puts them all away
Next to his medal and a flag, that she would gladly give back

If it would bring him back to memphis
So he could take her in his arms
And never let her go
Cause she's still waiting for a kiss
For every day they've missed
'til he made it back to memphis

Back to memphis

Some Gave All (Acoustic Version) Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I knew a man called him Sandy Kane
Few folks even knew his name
But a hero was he
Left a boy, came back a man
Still many don't understand
About the reasons we are free.

I can't forget the look in his eyes
Or the tears he cries
As he said these words to me.

All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through
For the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all.

[Instrumental]

Now Sandy Kane is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo through out our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood the ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man.

Love your country and live with pride
And don't forget those who died
America can't you see.

All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through
For the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all.

And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties
And recall, some gave all.

Some gave all...

"The Other Side" (2003)

Face Of God Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

When my little girl gets that sleep in her eyes,
And she settles in with her head on my chest,
Why do I feel like my heart's gonna burst?
That I'm willing to die for this angel at rest?

And why am I filled with unshakeable faith,
When I look at that child so fragile and sweet?
There's something eternal I see in her face,
Something much more than her mother and me.

Maybe I'm looking at the face of God.
Makes me think I may be looking at the face of God,
And He's smiling back at me.

Why do I feel like the smallest of things,
When I try to count all the stars in the sky?
When I see the world that we're in at it's worst,
Why do I feel like it'll all be all right?

I can't see the wind as it moves through the trees.
So how do I know that I know that I know,
That somebody out there is speaking to me?
Saying: "I love you and you're not alone."

Maybe I'm looking at the face of God.
Makes me think I may be looking at the face of God,
And He's smiling back at me.

Oh, I know that I know that I know that He's out there.
Somebody's out there.
When I look at the beauty around me,
And the love that surrounds me.

Maybe I'm looking at the face of God.
Makes me think I may be looking at the face of God,
And He's smiling back at me.
Maybe I'm looking at the face of God.
And He's smiling back at me.

Wouldn't You Do This For Me? Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

He's halfin' his sandwich, his chips and Baby Ruth
Puttin' them back in a sack his mama packed
With a sticker that say's 'Jesus Loves You'
He's jumpin off the bus, runnin' in the house
Talkin' to mom about his day
Hidin' that paper sack in a baseball glove
Ridin' his bike straight to the freeway
Where there's an old man with a shoppin' cart
With a dirty face and a purple heart
Who's sayin' son you'll never know how much this means

Boy say's
Wouldn't you do this for me
If I were reachin' out to you
Wouldn't you give me food to eat if I were hungry to
Wouldn't you do this for me

Tonight, that little boy's dad is flyin' down the freeway
It's pourin' rain as he leaves the road
He's rolling down that concrete bank
Through the flames and the broken glass
An old man takes his hand
Finds a cell phone on the backseat
He's sayin' get here fast as you can
Now the bum that lives beneath the bridge
Pulls him safely from that flooding ditch
Man asked why'd you risk your life to save mine

He said
Wouldn't you do this for me
If I were reachin' out to you
Wouldn't you try to save my life, if I needed you to
Wouldn't you do this for me

Now he's layin' in that hospital bed prayin' a silent prayer
And he can't help but ask him,
Lord, did you put that beggar there
As a nurse pulls back the curtains
All he can see is a billboard sign
A sixty foot Jesus hangin' on the cross
At the bottom, just one line

Wouldn't you do this for me
Wouldn't you do this for me
Wouldn't you

Always Sixteen Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Old Mr. Johnson and his wife attend my church.
Fifty-two years and they still love like it's the first.
He holds the door, she holds his hand, they kiss a little.
He helps her in the truck, she slides right to the middle.
And so one day I ask him how they keep the fire alive.
He said: "You see two old people, but somethin' down deep inside.

Love is always sixteen.
It's always the same, though people might change
Its forever young:
Love don't have to turn cold, though lovers grow old.
Love don't have to grow weak,
'Cause love is always sixteen."

Baby, don't you find it just a little bit peculiar,
However close we get, we're never too familiar.
Everyday I wake up lovin' you so much it hurts,
And, baby, every kiss we kiss still feels like it's the first.
And it turns me on to know this feeling's never gonna fade.
I'm still gonna want you even when we're old and grey.

Love is always sixteen.
It's always the same, though people might change
Its forever young:
Love don't have to turn cold, though lovers grow old.
Love don't have to grow weak,
'Cause love is always sixteen.

Through all of its phases, it's timeless and ageless.
You're like the sun in a clear morning sky.

Love is always sixteen.
It's always the same, though people might change
Its forever young:
Love don't have to turn cold, though lovers grow old.
Love don't have to grow weak,
'Cause love:
'Cause love is always sixteen.
Is always sixteen.

I Need You Now Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I've never seen that little town where You were born
It was long before my time and far away
But as time goes on I think about You more and more
And wonder what it was like in those day's
I wish I could have walked with You
You might have called me friend
But there's no way I could've known You then

But I know You now
I know Your name
A lot of awesome things You did and why You came
I didn't know You when
You helped that lame man rise up from his bed
I didn't know You when
You stood there and called Lazarus from the dead
But I know You now

I didn't see You feed that tired hungry crowd
With five loaves and two fish one afternoon
And I didn't see You catch Peter's hand
So he wouldn't drown
When he tried the walk on water like You
I couldn't see Your face
When You taught those little kids
There's just no way I could've seen You then

But I see You now
I see Your love
I see a tiny glimpse of You in every one of us
I didn't see You on the mount of olives
Crying as You prayed
I couldn't see You when You were kissed by Judus and betrayed
But I see You now

Oh, I didn't need You when that bitter angry mob
Shouted out crucify him
And I couldn't have needed You
When they laughed and mocked You
But it could be I'm a little bit like them

'Cause I need You now
I need Your grace
And how I needed Your forgiveness to be saved
I didn't need You when Pilates soldiers beat You to the ground
I didn't need You when You hung there
Bleeding from Your thorny crown
But I need You now
Oh, I need You now

Love Has No Walls Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Yeah alright
There's a church on the corner in a harbor town
Where the stained glass lets the sunshine through
When Sunday morning rolls around
The people come to hear about the truth

The choir sings "Amazing Grace"
Then you could hear the Preacher say

Love has no walls
Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart

One day a hurricane swept through that town
Worst storm you ever did see
Next Sunday morning when no church could be found
The people still gathered out in the street

The choir sang 'Amazing Grace'
Then, you could hear the Preacher sayin'

Love has no walls
Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart
'Cause love has no walls, yeah
Alright, reach out your heart

There's a church on the corner in a harbor town
They're singing about amazing grace

Love has no walls, alright
Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart
'Cause love has no walls, yeah, alright

Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart
'cause love has no walls
Yeah, alright
Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart

Tip Of My Heart Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

It's on the tip of my heart, the words to say
But I fall apart and then I walk away
There's an angry world pressed against my back
And down every turn I keep looking back

And I know You promise me
Love through eternity
So why can't I just hold on

I want to live, I want to love
But I'm afraid my simple faith will never be enough
I want to laugh, I want to be set free
And let You hold all that my soul has deep inside of me
But I don't know where to start
It's on the tip of my heart

So want You take my hand
Because I'm sinking in
To this life I've made, but don't understand
The clock moves so slowly
Time goes so fast
But in this world wind world that will never last

This love You're giving me
It's not just make believe
Help me to just hold on

I want to live, I want to love
But I'm afraid my simple faith will never be enough
I want to laugh, I want to be set free
And let You hold all that my soul has deep inside of me
But I don't know where to start
It's on the tip of my heart

Open the sky's
Open my eyes
And all my fears scatter away
So I walk in grace, 'cause I've seen Your face
And You are all that matters to me

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna love
I'm not afraid because Your grace will always be enough
I want to laugh, I want to be set free
And let You hold all that my soul has deep inside of me
I want to live, I want to love
I'm not afraid because Your grace will always be enough
I want to laugh, I want to be set free
And let You hold all that my soul has deep inside of me

But I don't know where to start
It's on the tip of my heart

Did I Forget To Pray Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

It's 3 am and I can't sleep
I'm watching war on my TV without the sound
My family is tucked in tight
But somehow God I feel like I let You down

Did I forget to pray
Yeah, get down on my knees
Thank You for the things
Everything I need today
There's a cross around my neck
To remind me that You're never far away
Have I been missin' all the things
That You really have to say
God, did I forget to pray

We're all blessed here on my block
Is that where I let my heart stop
There's a world out there
I see all that pain and sufferin'
I been so busy doin' nothing
I forgot to care

Did I forget to pray
Yeah, get down on my knees
Thank You for the things
Everything I need today
Here's a cross around my neck
To remind me that You're never far away
Have I been missin' all the things
That You really have to say
God, did I forget to pray

There's a cross around my neck
To remind me that You're never far away
Did I forget to listen
Was I too wrapped up in doin' things my way
God, did I forget to pray

God, did I forget to pray

Holding On To A Dream Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

We were born with wings to fly
But sometimes we can't reach that high
'Cause it feels like the sky is falling down

Against the odds, against the rain
You dig your heels in to slow that train
So many wishes in the lost and found
One little thing can turn it all around

[Chorus]
Holding on to a dream
Trying to keep hope alive
You can reach out to me
You can reach down deep inside
When the whole world's gone insane
A ray of light remains
The days you know it seems
Sometimes the hardest thing is
Holding on to a dream

At times you win, at times you lose
Sometimes life puts a rock in your shoe
But something in you keeps you walking on

Leave the fear and doubt in the past
Just believe, don't look back

[Chorus]

Feels like an endless fight
All up hill, but that's all right

[Chorus]

I Love You This Much Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

He didn't have the answers
To half the questions his son ask him
A child's mind is a curious thing
But when his son hugged him and said Dad
You know I love you
How much do you love me
Daddy didn't have to think

With his arms open wide
Just as far as they could go
He said as far as I can reach
Is not enough to show
I would give my life for you
You are my flesh and blood
I love you this much

She stood there crying
Broken-hearted
Looking up at Him
And said why are You doing this
He looks down at her wanting to hold her
And wipe her tears away
He has to leave and that's the way it is
She gave her son one last kiss

With her arms open wide
Just as far as they could go
She said as far as I can reach
Is not enough to show
I would give my life for You
You are my flesh and blood
I love You this much

And they raised his broken body above the crowd
Drove in the nails as the rain came down

With His arms open wide
Just as far as they could go
He said as far as I can reach
Is not enough to show
I would give my life for you
You are my flesh and blood
I love you this much

I love you this much

The Other Side Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Oh I've heard about the streets of gold
Since I was just a kid
Stories that my grandpa told
The truths that he unhid
Preacher man sang a song of love
Our Savior was his pride
And he told of the perfect place
Just beyond the other side

Well there won't be no more sickness
Sorrow, death or pain
The sun will shine forever
No more darkness, no more rain
Glory hallelujah
Will echo through the halls
The other side is waitin'
Should our maker come to call

The other side is perfect
It was made just for a king
At the right hand of Almighty God
The angels start to sing
And the light surrounds Your very soul
The truth You cannot hide
The pearly gates will open
If You reach the other side

The other side is perfect
It was made just for a king
At the right hand of Almighty God
The angels start to sing
And the light surrounds Your very soul
The truth You cannot hide
The pearly gates will open
If when You reach the other side

The wait'l sure be worth it
When You reach the other side
Oh, the other side

Amazing Grace Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Well I once was lost but now I'm found
I was blind
But now I see

Twas grace
That taught my heart to feel
And grace my fear relieved
Our precious debt
That grace of his
When I, I first believed

When we've been there
Ten thousand years
Bright shining is the sound
Well we know the last day
I'll sing Gods sweet praise
And when we first begun

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Well once was lost
Oh, but now I'm found
I was blind
But now I see

I was blind
But now I see

"Southern Rain" (2000)

You Won't Be Lonely Now Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I know you've seen all your dreams turn to dust
I know your heart's been left in the rain to rust
But you won't be lonely now

I see a long trail of tears in your eyes
Back to the day when the innocence died
But you won't be lonely now

I wanna give you everything you need I wanna show you
You won't be lonely you won't be lonely now

Holding you here like a rose in the dark
I make this promise to you from my heart
You won't be lonely now

I wanna give you everything you need...

I'll do anything to make you see how I'm gonna love you
You won't be lonely you won't be lonely now

Now that you're here in my arms I'm alive
For the first time in a long time
I look at my face in the mirror and see
The man that I've wanted to be

I wanna give you everything you need...
I'll do anything to make you see...

Southern Rain Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

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

All I'm Thinking About Is You Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Well it's a twenty mile drive from here to town
There's gray skies and there's no doubt
Rain's comin' down this mornin'
I get off the interstate fifteen minutes late
For an appointment that I really didn't need to make
God this routine bores me
Well it's gettin' on twelve and I ain't had a bite
I'm all ceffee'd up sleepy eyed wound up tight
And it's only Monday Monday
I've had the whole night and a half the day
To think about what you said and what I need to change
But it's all the same it's all the same

Cause all I'm thinkin' bout is you all I'm thinkin' bout is you
All I'm thinkin' bout is you

Well I skipped lunch with the boss at that sleazy little bar
Stopped to get gas a bag of chips
And got back in the car and started drivin'
I headed down the road where the air is clean
And the grass is green and the birds sing to clear this head
Full of things that I've been denyin but it's all in vain

Cause all I'm thinkin' bout is you...
Yeah all I'm thinkin' bout is you...

Well it's five o'clock sharp and it's gettin' dark now
It's bumper to bumper and it's rainin' buckets down
But I'm smilin' yeah I'm smilin'

All I'm thinkin' bout is you...
All I'm thinkin' bout is you...
All I'm thinkin' bout is you...

We The People Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

The farmers rise up every morning at five
The truckers drive them eigteen wheelers all night
The factory workers they build it with pride
Twenty-four seven down the assembly line
In every city in every town
Somebody's got to make the world go round

We the people move it we the people know
We the people we run the country
We the people prove it we're the heart and soul
We the people we are the country

Here's to every salesman on the telephone line
And every waitress working hard for those dimes
The middle managers who punch overtime
And anyone fighting wars fires and crimes
Day after day year after year
The mint might print them but the buck stops here

We the people move it...

We pay the taxes we pay the bills
So they better pay attention up on Capitol Hill

We the people move it...

We the people choose it we the people vote
We the people we run the country
We the people rock it we the people roll
We the people we are the country

We the people move it...

I Will Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I will crawl through your grief I will cry till I drown
Cut a path through your dark till I'm lost and you're found
Turn your black into gray I won't hurt when I bleed
I'll give up my desire till you get what you need

Ask me I'll be there whenever you fall
To do anything everything nothing at all
I'll move any mountain that keeps you from me
I'll change rearrange disappear in your dreams
Please don't ask me to let go or make me give up
Cause I love you that much and I will it'll kill me but I will

I'll never say that I know how you feel
But I know in your heart that those demons are real
So don't push me out and I won't pull you in
I won't let you lose if you'll let me win

Ask me I'll be there whenever you fall...

[guitar]

If you can just look past your fear
You'll see me standing right here

Ask me I'll be there whenever you fall...

Love You Back Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

All I could see was her cigarette burnin'
She only smokes when she's sad
All I could hear was that engine turnin'
That's when I knew it was bad
She's never made it as far as the car before
She got my attention when she slammed that Chevy door

I best be hittin' my knees beggin' and pleadin'
Choking down some pride before she drops it into drive I can't have that
Best be foldin' my hands for one more chance
Baby don't go let me love you back

Trippin' and stumblin' and barefoot on the gravel
Fightin' my way through the rain
Bang on the window oh but she won't have it
She just keeps lookin' the other way
She wipes away her tears and the steam from the glass
Got her hand on the shifter and her foot on the gas

I best be hittin' my knees...

I hope it's not too late but now I see that all you've ever done
Is put your heart and soul into loving me
And I know it's time I did my part

Down on my knees beggin' and pleadin' put away my pride
Baby give me your hand one more chance don't go don't go
Let me love you back let me love you back

Burn Down The Trailer Park Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I borrowed some money I sold my car
I put an airstream trailer up on blocks
That satellite dish was my first mistake
She started watchin' Oprah Winfrey and Rikki Lake
She cut me down to once a week
At supper time there wasn't nothin' to eat
I was paranoid and scared to death
She came home with Aqua Velva on her breath

Burn down the trailer park
Shoot the pink flamingos out in the yard
I can't live here since you broke my heart
I'm gonna burn down the trailer park

She hired the neighbor's son to cut our grass
She gave him cold ice tea and a piece of pie
My landlord came while I was out of town
Our pipes got fixed and the rent went down
We fell asleep with the late show on
Now it's thee a.m. I wake up and she's gone
I've got a strong suspicion she's at it again
And since I don't know which trailer she's in

I'm gonna burn down the trailer park...

[guitar]

Jenny Jones don't understand Geraldo don't understand
Maury Povich sure don't understand
I've got a can of gas and I'm a dangerous man

I'm gonna burn down the trailer park...

Everywhere I Wanna Be Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I like the me I see in your eyes
And knowing that I'm the one that makes you smile
You've given love a name and a face
Showed me that it can be a beautiful place

Everywhere I wanna be in this life is here by your side baby
All I ever wanna do is get lost in lovin' you
Long as you're with me I'm everywhere I wanna be

Your breath on my skin is a tropical breeze
Your kisses send an arctic chill over me
Why wander the planet what could I hope to see
The view when I hold you is amazing to me

Everywhere I wanna be...

[guitar]

Everywhere I wanna be...

Crazy 'Bout You Baby Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Call me the biggest the fool the world's seen yet
I've been goo-goo ga-ga since the day we met
I admit that I've gone insane
I go all to pieces when I hear your name
Light in the head weak in the knees
Girl you got me beggin' baby please please please

Crazy bout you baby what can I do
Crazy bout you baby I'm in love with you
Everything about you makes my heart go boom
Crazy bout you baby

Girl I get the shivers everytime we touch
This ain't your ordinary schoolboy crush
Spend all day dreamin' how it's gonna be
When the sun goes down and you're next to me
Holdin' you close feels so right
Kissin' and a huggin' and a lovin' all night

Crazy bout you baby what can I do...

[guitar]

Crazy bout you baby crazy bout you baby

Crazy bout you baby what can I do...

Spend all day dreamin' how it's gonna be
When the sun goes down and you're next to me
Holdin' you close feels so right
Kissin' and a huggin' and a lovin' all night

Crazy bout you baby what can I do...
Crazy bout you baby crazy bout you baby
Crazy bout you baby crazy bout you baby
Crazy bout you baby crazy bout you baby

Without You Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I hear your footsteps down the hall
I check my messages but I don't hear you call
I think of days gone by and now I wonder why you left me
But I can't go on without you without you

Sometimes I wander on my way
Sometimes I just break down and pray
Sometimes I think of you and I don't know what to do
And I wonder how I will go on without you
How I will go on without your love
Without you no I can't go on without you
Without you

I can't stop missin' you oh if I only knew do you miss me
Cause I can't go on without you I can't go on without you
I can't go on without your love
Without you no I can't go on without you
No I can't go on without you oh no no no

I hear your footsteps down the hall
I check my messages but I don't hear you call
And once again I'm all alone without you
No I can't go on without you no I can't go on without you
No I can't go on without you no I can't go on without you

Hey Elvis Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Hey Elvis won'tcha come back home
I left a message on your Code-A-Phone
I tried to reach you but I can't get through
Hey Elvis where the hell are you

Somebody saw you at the shopping mall
Somebody said they heard that southern drawl
Hey Elvis is it really true we're all waitin' for a sign from you

Everybody knows about your pink Cadillac
Everybody's wonderin' when you're comin' back
Everybody's waitin' just to hear you sing
Hey Elvis you're still the king

Hey Elvis won'tcha come back soon
Nobody's rockin' in the jungle room
Come December don't know what we'll do
Be a blue Christmas without you

Everybody knows about your pink Cadillac...

[guitar]

Love me tender don't be cruel return to sender stuck on you
It's now or never suspicious minds hey Elvis aren't you lonesome tonight

Hey Elvis can't you see they need you back in Memphis Tennessee
They're makin' records but there's nothin' new
Nobody ever done it quite like you

Everybody knows about your pink Cadillac...

Everybody knows about your Lisa Marie
Everybody knows about TCB
Everybody's waitin' just to hear you sing
Hey Elvis you're still the king

Come back to Memphis Elvis you're still the king

How's My World Treating You Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

This is just a business call it won't take no time at all
If she don't wanna talk that's fine tell her that I got those papers signed
I'm sure that she'll be glad to know this thing is finally coming to a close
That was really all I had to say but since we're talking hey by the way

How's my world treatin' you are you happy there in my shoes
While I've got you on my phone tell me does she make you feel at home
You've got everything I had to lose is she making all your dreams come true
Oh tell me how's my world treatin' you

She used to treat me like a king oh she was my everything
You took my castle and you stole my crown
When you walked in and turned my world around

How's my world treatin' you...

[guitar]

How's my world treatin' you...
How's my world treatin' you how's my world treatin' you
How's my world treatin' you how's my world treatin' you
How's my world how's my world

Under The Hood Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Well my first love was a little Corvette all done up in lipstick red
I thought it'd last forever till the motor blew
Well I guess I didn't look close enough it's a little bit just like falling in love
Looks don't mean a thing if the heart ain't true

It might be a cool ride smooth lines
Something been custom made out in Hollywood
But when you get done gazing at the outside
You better start checking out the inside
If you want a love built to last you better look real good
And see what's under the hood

Sporty little model standin' by the door
So I took her for a spin on the old dance floor
Headlights shining bright but nobody home
Now I need somethin' that's more my speed
Got a whole lotta time to find what I need
So I put her in park and headed on off for home

It might be a cool ride smooth lines...

[guitar]

Well it might be a cool ride smooth lines...
You better look real good and see what's under the hood

Give My Heart To You Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I gave two teeth in a teenage brawl
For a girl whose name I can't recall
Then we broke up
I gave a knee to the football team
Chasing that high school state champ dream
We almost won

I gave junior college almost a year
Then I gave a Greyhound twenty bucks and that's how I got here

I give all my money for a slice of daily bread
I give forty honest hours to a boss I never met
And I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty-two
So there ain't much left to offer but I give my heart to you

I gave a beard and a head of hair
To a boot camp corporal with a barber's chair
At Camp Le Jeune
I gave Uncle Sam what he bargained for
Twenty-four months not a minute more
I just didn't fit in

Then I gave a high school friend of mine a call
And we gave a body shop a try till we gave up last fall

I give all my money...

[guitar - steel]

And I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty-two
So there ain't much left to offer but I give my heart to you

Busy Man Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

There's a little boy out in the driveway his basketball in hand
Saying Daddy could we play a little one on one
You pat him on the back and say not now son I'm a busy man

His sister's out on the sidewalk settin' up a lemonade stand
Hey daddy don't you want to buy a glass from me
You say maybe later can't you see I'm a busy man

You got to go got to run hit it hard and get it done
Everyone can see you're going far
You got responsibilities a crazy schedule that you keep
And when you say that time's a wastin'
You don't know how right you are busy man

There's a women in the bedroom crying sayin' I thought we had plans
You say honey I'm sorry I'll make it up
When the job slows down and I'm not such a busy man

You got to go got to run...

Have you ever seen a headstone with these words
If only I had spent more time at work

There's a call one day from the office they need you down in Birmingham
You say no way the weekend's mine
I got plans with the kids and a date with my wife I'm a busy man

You got to go got to run take a break and have some fun
Those that love you most say you've come far
Got some new priorities in that schedule that you keep
And when you say that time's a wastin'
Now you know how right you are busy man busy man

Shot Full Of Love Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Once I had a heart cold as ice love to me was only for fun
I'd make a mark for each broken heart like notches on the butt of a gun

Once I had a trick up my sleeve and a reputation all over town
I was heartless and cold whatever I'd go I shot down every young girl I found

Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit I used to be a heartbreak kid
Then I met you and the next thing I knew there I was oh shot full of love

Who'd have thought that someone like you could take a desperado like me
But oh here I am I'm as meek as a lamb with my bleedin' heart there at your feet

Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit...
Shot full of love

Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit...
Shot full of love shot full of love
Shot full of love shot full of love
Shot full of love shot full of love
Shot full of love shot full of love

Rock This Planet Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I've been on the road since I was a kid
I was born to lead this life I live
Fate placed me among the chosen few
I'm a man with a mission got a job to do

Rock this planet (rock this planet) rock this planet (rock this planet)
The world needs rockin' and I ain't stoppin' till it's done

Well I'd love to stay baby but I've got to run
People everywhere need to have some fun
I've got the message that'll set 'em free
The whole dang world is depending on me

To rock this planet (rock this planet)...

[guitar]

We did a show in Tokyo they ate it up
Paris and Rome couldn't get enough
When we were done in London we were Berlin bound
We cranked it up till the Wall came down

Rock this planet (rock this planet)...
Rock this planet (rock this planet)...
The world needs rockin' and I ain't stoppin' till it's done

Missing You Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I live for the phone I die for the mail
I took your picture right off the nail
And put it right by my bed so I could see you instead
Of the darkness of night
I hold conversations with you in my mind
They only tighten this knot deep inside
And the aching won't end till I hold you again
If I only survive

Why did you have to go why am I missing you so
One heartbeat at a time I'm going out of my mind
Missing you missing you

I started a letter I stared at your name
There wasn't a line that didn't echo my pain
There was no sound at all
But the slow lonely fall of an unspoken tear

Why did you have to go...

Life may take us in different directions
But I always end up deeper deeper in my true affection

Why did you have to go...
Missing you missing you missing you missing you
(Missing you missing you)
Missing you darling missing you baby missing you missing you

Touchy Subject Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I'll sit and talk baby all night long
We can discuss whatever you want
We'll share our secrets our little white lies
Before we're through we'll be bona fide worldly-wise
But thtere's one thing I wanna leave in the past
So don't bring it up don't even ask

Cause that's a touchy subject let's not talk about it
Right now I can't explain it I'm better off without it
Oh I'm begging you please
Don't even whisper one little word about love
Cause that's a touchy subject with me

Don't take the shine off our moment together
It's way too soon to talk about forever
Go ahead and get a little closer to me
But darlin' won't you do me one courtesy
Let's hold off on our wants and our needs
We both know right where that leads

And that's a touchy subject let's not talk about it...

[sax]

Touchy subject it hurts to talk about it
It starts rainin' mem'ries and I feel like I'm drownin'
Oh I'm beggin' you please
Don't even whisper one little word about love

Cause that's a touchy subject let's not talk about it
Right now I can't explain it I'm better off without it
It's a touchy subject let's not talk about it
Can't explain it it's a touchy subject

His Shoes Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I remember the time before you were mine
And I was dying to be in his shoes
Now he's gone away and I'm in his place
But his mem'ry hasn't moved
The shadow he cast just grows larger than life
How can the past cut two hearts like a knife

I can't walk away but how can I stay
Any way I step I lose
My back's to the wall I stumble and fall
Trying to live my life in his shoes

He wasn't a saint so what are these chains
He holds on both of us
You give it your best but you can't forget
And my love's not strong enough
To put out a fire that someone else lit
Or walk in the footprints that never will fit

I can't walk away but how can I stay...
I can't walk away but how can I stay...

[guitar]

In his shoes in his shoes in his shoes
Trying to live my life in his shoes

Time For Letting Go Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I've been holding back words and waiting for time
There's a lesson here somewhere I know it's mine
Though I'll remember the promise we made
Promises don't justify feeling this way anymore

It's time for letting go we can't hide what we both know
But ooh the hurtin' grows every time I think it's over

You've been keeping all your secrets inside
I know the truth now baby you don't have to hide
But my mind wanders to the very first day
What a shame things had to turn out this way

Now I know it's time for letting go...

No words could bring back your affection
And no lies could keep me holding on holding on and holding on

Now I know it's time for letting go...

It's time to realize that we're both just living lies
And way down deep inside the time is telilng me it's time for letting go

Let it go I keep telling myself over and over
Let it go but my love's still strong I just can't keep on holding on
I know it's time for letting go time for letting go

The American Dream Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Well they moved away from the farms they did not own
To live happily ever after on a GI loan
The future was looking bright back in '62
Neath the shadow of atomic bombs and the baby boom

You could take a walk downtown without being afraid
Hey who's the better centerfielder Mantle or Mays
There was chicken in every pot even when times were lean
We thought everybody had a shot at the American dream

Every mother was supposed to look like Donna Reed
Father knew what was best for you and me
Our lives were etched on eight millimeter frames
As we grew up in houses that all looked the same

But there was trouble on the other side of town
It was a time when people began to stand their ground
As the eyes of the world were opened by a man named King
Everybody wanted their share of the American dream

Dream on children dream on
Don't let anybody tell you the dream is gone
As long as there's a God above keep prayin' we never wake up
Keep on dreaming the American dream

Now there's medals on the wall I got back in '91
And a quarter-acre piece of heaven where my kids can run
As I turn off the cable and put my babies to bed
I kiss 'em goodnight and I whisper under my breath

Dream on children dream on...
Keep on dreaming the American dream
