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

"Trail Of Tears" (1996)

Trail Of Tears Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Too many broken promises too many trail of tears
Too many times you were left cold for oh so many years

Too many times you walked away and was made to feel ashamed
And though you only tried to give you were often blamed

[mandolin]

How can this world be so dark so unfair and so untrue
How did the cards of life fold right on top of you

[guitar]

God in heaven hear my prayer ff you are still above
Send the children hopes and dreams and lots and lots of love

For this I only ask of you to conquer all their fears
And let them soar like eagles across the trail of tears

Truth Is, I Lied Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Scratched a heart on your door then I showed myself outside
Lashed my soul cross this twin-V horse and rode off in the night
Guess you noticed I'm gone and the low
Morning sun's cast some shadows with questions inside
So truth in this letter at dawn will shed a new light

Truth is I lied when I said I'd always be vour whippin' pet
I lied when I said I shouldn't mind the hurt I guess
When I pleaded and stated I needed you just to survive
Truth is last night when you tore my heart apart my mind began
Never thinkin' bout thinkin' like your fool again
And a freedom that filled me kept spellin' out truth as I'd write
Truth is I lied

Saw an image of you where the highway touched the sky
It was blockin' my view so I steered that thought aside
Now the morning and me ride a cold memory
Past tomorrow to some other town
Where we'll never care whether this truth was lost or found

Truth is I lied when I said I'd always be vour whippin' pet...

[guitar]

Truth is I lied

Tenntucky Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

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

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

[harmonica]

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

Call Me Daddy Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Little boy running through the yard fell and skinned his heart
And later climbed up in a tree
As he looked into the sky he began to cry
And said daddy why'd you leave

Call me daddy I'm feeling blue
Call me daddy I need to talk to you
Call me daddy help me through
And then he bowed his head to pray call me dad

The little boy became a man found a bride and took her hand
And made a baby all their own
As he looked in that baby's eyes as the baby cried
He swore you'll never be alone

Call me daddy when you're feeling blue
Call me daddy and I'll talk to you
Call me daddy and I'll help you through
And then he bowed his head to pray call me dad

[mandolin]

Another life has come and gone another baby's grown
And stands alone against the world
As he looks into the sky he begins to cry
And says daddy I miss you

Call me daddy I'm feeling blue...

Sing Me Back Home Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Well the warden let the prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
Let my guitar friend playing my last request

So let's sing me back home the song I used to hear
Make my old mem'ries come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home fore I die

[fiddle - guitar]

I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the street
Came in to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers there's a song my mama sang
Could I hear it once before you move along

So let's sing me back home the song I used to hear...
Won't you sing me back home fore I die

Three Little Words Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Do I love you yes a thousand times and lately I been going out of my mind
I get the feeling you're pulling away it's gonna hurt me if you won't stay
Can't stand the thought of being alone you need to be there when I get home
If you could tell me just one more time it would surely ease my mind
Three little words would be fine

I love you I love you
I need to know that you're still mine
Three little words would be fine

It's gotten crazy I don't understand how can love get so out of hand
I've never been so uncertain before is there someone behind another door
I've got to know if I'm right or wrong with mixed emotions I can't go on
I've got to know that I'm not blind just lay it on the line
Three little words would be fine

I love you I love you...

[guitar]

Can't stand the thought of being alone...
I love you I love you...
I love you I love you I love you

Harper Valley PTA Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I wanna tell you all the story bout the Harper Valley widow wife
Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High
Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
She said mom I got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA

Well the note said Mrs Johnson you're wearin' your dresses way too high
And it's reported you've been drinkin' and a runnin' round with men and goin' wild
And we don't believe you oughta be a bringin' up your little girl this way
And it was signed by the secretary Harper Valley PTA

[guitar]

Well it happened that the PTA was gonna meet that very afternoon
And they were sure surprised when Mrs Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room
And as she walked up to the blackboard I can still recall the words she had to say
She said I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley PTA

Well there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there and seven times he asked me for a date
And Mrs Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away
And Mr Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town
And shouldn't wodow Jones be told to keep
Her window shades all pulled completely down

Well Mr Harper couldn't be here cause he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again
And if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
And when you have the nerve to tell me as a mother you think I'm not fit
Well this is just a little Payton Place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites

No I wouldn't put you on because it really did it happened just this way
The day her mama socket it to the Harper Valley PTA
The day her mama socket it to the Harper Valley PTA
The day her mama socket it to the Harper Valley PTA

I Am Here Now Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Though I let you down you stayed by my side
Knowing the truth each time I lied
Though I nearly left you you stayed till the end
I am here now you were there then

You were there then I am here now
You believed in forever and were here somehow
You were my lover my loyal friend
I am here now you were there then

There was a time when you should have been gone
I was so weak and you were so strong
I saw the light through the long endless nights
Thank God I found my way home

You were there then I am here now...
I am here now you were there then
I am here now you were there then
I am here now

Need A Little Help Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I been feeling very weak I been turning pretty pale
First I'm falling to my knees then I'm hanging by my tail
Asked the doctor for some medicine he said there's nothing we can do
Preacher said it's gonna kill you son mama dropped the chicken soup

I'm gonna need a little help help help while I'm gettin' over you
I'm just a flicker of myself self self your hurt has cooled my fire into
If you could spare a little touch touch touch I might survive a week or two
I'm gonna need a little help help help while I'm gettin' over you

Ever since you made me leave can't remember wrong or right
When I'm up I wanna sleep when I'm asleep I wanna fight
Dialed the number for emergency sheriff said to tough it out
I called my psychic friend on channel three and she confirmed without a doubt

I'm gonna need a little help...

Bells are ringing in my ears wolf is howling in the yard
But the only thing I hear is the pounding of my heart
I saw my picture in the evening news I had a caption by my head
They polled the people for the public view and nearly everybody said

I'm gonna need a little help...
I'm gonna need a little help...

Should I Stay Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

I can feel your teardrops on my shoulder
I don't know what to say or what to do
You're the one who told me it was over
You said this love affair was all but through

Well I know that there's two sides to every story
And that's what's going on inside my soul
Cause my heart is saying leave and you'll be sorry
But my mind is saying it's time for me to go

And my heart says I should stay but my mind says I should go
Should we end our love today or should we let it grow
And my heart says I should stay but my mind says I should go
Tell me if you love me let me know tell me should I stay or should I go

To think of me without you I'm so lonely
Cause you're the one who helped me for so long
All the nights we'd lay to love each other
With the radio playing our favorite song

And I remember when you told me you first loved me
With teardrops in my eyes I said I love you too
And my heart still feels the same and will forever
But my mind is telling me that we're all through

And my heart says I should stay...
Should I stay or should I go tell me please I need to know

Crazy Mama Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Crazy mama where you been so long crazy mama where you been so long
You been hidin' now I know that's true crazy mama I sure need you
Crazy mama where you been so long

[guitar]

Standing on the corner looking for you babe
Standing on the corner looking for you babe
Lordy mercy can I see crazy mama come back to me
Crazy mama where you been so long

"Storm In The Heartland" (1994)

Storm In The Heartland Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

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

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

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

[guitar]

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

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

Deja Blue Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Now as she's walking out the door saying she don't want me no more
As her tires are a squealing Lord I get this funny feeling
That I've been in this position before
A different time another flame still it's spooky how it seems the same
Deja blue deja blue

Yeah I'm feelin' pretty certain that this cryin' and a hurtin'
Is something I've already been through
Oh Lordy here I go again tell me will it ever end
Same old fool nothing new deja blue

Now it started in the second grade with little blondie what's her name
I toted all her books and gave her long and gooshy looks
And all she wanted was my brother Jay
That first time nearly done me in
But I've been there a hundred times since then
Deja blue deja blue

Yeah I'm feelin' pretty certain...

[guitar]

Deja blue deja blue

Yeah I'm feelin' pretty certain...
Same old fool nothing new deja blue

Redneck Heaven Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Take me to redneck heaven when I'm dead and gone
Where my southern roots are buried and Van Zandt still lives on
Where some smokey poolroom's standin' with Jesus on the wall
Take me to redneck heaven when the good Lord comes to call
Comes to call comes to call

Mother Mary ridin' proud on the dashboard of my truck
To remind me to count my blessings and to pray for just a little luck
Brother Levi waits for me and the local seven eleven
Just in case I don't make it there send me to redneck heaven

Take me to redneck heaven...

There I was walkin' on the sawdust streets of gold
And I saw Conway Twitty and there was Keith Whitley
Before I could say Hank Williams I turned around
And I was face to face with the king of rock and roll

You can have your streets of gold sawdust'll do just fine
And about those singing angels just give me Patsy Cline
If I could only meet the king I'll feel I've rolled a seven
Gimme swingin' doors instead of pearly gates take me to redneck heaven

Take me to redneck heaven...

Casualty Of Love Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

Mama used to tell me tales bout a part of town
Where people cry the blues most everyday
She said don't go down there boy you know love'll cut you down
And you ain't yet a man hear what I say

She said listen to me son it's so
Let me tell you I been down there and I know

That on love street they've got signs that say watch for falling victims
Dreams get run down in the night Lord and yours might be the next one
Down where lies'll cut you deep and goodbyes are loaded guns
You can take one through the heart another casualty of love

But still I had to find out just how a love would feel
I got tangled in the arms of one gone bad
Now I sit and wait and wonder as I cry myself to sleep
Why I couldn't heed what my mama said

Now here every word rings clear and true
Now I come to realize what love can do

That on love street they've got signs...

[guitar]

That on love street they've got signs...

One Last Thrill Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

So I'll be leavin' this house without you
That's the last thing I thought I'd ever do
How could we come so far and be so close
And have such a distant point of view
I won't stand here and cry over differences
I won't say things I'll regret
I'll be on my way with this broken heart
But the mem'ries I'll caress
Darlin' would you honor this last request

Let's take one last drive just one last time
And go up on old lovers hill
Let's take one last look at those city lights
Like the first time we come up here and learned how to feel
Let's take one last look at those stars that shine
I remember how it was still
Then let me take one long lasting look at your face
Give me one last kiss one last thrill

Then I'd be happy and I'd take you home
You wouldn't even have to ask me in
By then I'll be like a stranger baby
But I'll walk you to the door like a gentleman
And I'll drive away and I won't be back
It doesn't matter which way I go
I'll always be on a one way street always down a dead end road
I will always love you and that's all I know

Let's take one last drive just one last time...

Then let me take one long lasting look at your face
Give me one last kiss one last thrill

I Ain't Even Left Lyrics – Billy Ray Cyrus

My bags are packed this evening you know I'll soon be leaving
It's gonna be another long night hmm a long long night
I know that we just said hello now it's time for me to go
You wouldn't want me to miss my flight not out of mind but out of sight
I ain't even left and it already don't feel right

How in the hell can we let love grow when the only thing we ever know
Is I'll call you or you call me love is blind so I can't see
The only thing I know is baby
I ain't even left and it already don't feel right

I ain't even left and it already don't feel right
All I know is I can't control this missing you inside
Loneliness like I've neven known till you walked into my life
And I ain't even left and it already don't feel right
And I ain't even left and it already don't feel right

[guitar]

I ain't even left and it already don't feel right...
