"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
