Mama Said Knock You Out lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

(originally by Ll Cool J)

I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out

Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years
Rocking my peers and putting suckas in fear
Making the tears rain down like a monsoon
Listen to the bass go boom

Explosion, overpowering
Over the competition, I'm towering
Wrecking shop, when I wright
These lyrics that'll make you call the cops

Don't you dare stare, you better move
Don't ever compare
Me to the rest that'll all get sliced and diced
Competition's paying the price

I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out

Don't you call this a regular jam
I'm gonna rock this land
I'm gonna take this itty bitty world by storm
And I'm just getting warm
Dig it

I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out

I maintain
Unless ya say my name
Ripping, killing
Digging and drilling a hole
Pass the Ol' Gold

Mama
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out

I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
I'm gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out

Ghost Dance lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

Come quick darling, come here, what a dream
Hold me while I tell you what I seen
It was a voice inside the fire
And the words were lined with stars
Said the view will soon depart
For the ghost dance

I looked up on mother life she rode the comet's tail
Blue her sorrows, filled her eyes somehow she felt she failed
She said love to you who've tried
But the green has left the vine
And I do believe it's time
For the ghost dance

As she spoke the whispering moon fell gently through the cotton woods
She became a glistening bird on wings of old forgotten words
And her songs fell pure as snow
On the empty hearts below
And a mournful wind did blow
For the ghost dance

And the drum beat sure and slow
And the restless rail roads
Calling all the weary souls
To the ghost dance
The ghost dance

99 Single Wide lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

Billy Jack Tovar
Billy Jack Tovar

Billy Jack Tovar hammered and he crowbarred
[?] that looked like stone
Foundation, and that linoleum deck
He yanked out the roses hiding that gooseneck
Woke up the whole damn trailerhood
Revving that girl [?]
"You and him can go to hell"
Was the last thing we heard him yell

We've seen it before and we'll see it again
Putting home sweet home in a straight line when
Boarding up the windows, take down seams
Trail of dust taking up two lanes
That's how it goes when catching your girl
With your fourth best friend in the whole damn world
Collides with pride
And [?] been left on is 99 single wide

Billy Jack Tovar only got so far
Broke down in the neighbor's yard
Up yonder, about a mile or so
Out came Lucinda in her best bathrobe
[?] what really [?]
Meanwhile his [?]
Got his truck cranked up and hit it on back
We knew it was coming, just not that fast

We've seen it before and we'll see it again
Putting home sweet home in a straight line when
Boarding up the windows, take down seams
Trail of dust taking up two lanes
That's how it goes when catching your man
Getting through the night in your best friend's hands
Collides with pride
And [?] is left on is 99 single wide

Billy Jack Tovar hammered and he crowbarred
[?] that looks like stone
Foundation, and that linoleum deck
Gonna take another shot at forgive and forget
Well, that's how it goes, we've seen it before
When the [?] cost of debt and divorce
Collides with pride
And [?] been left on is 99 single wide
Oh, 99 single wide, yeah

Billy Jack Tovar

Holdin On lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

Someday comes and someday goes
Like dreams that slip away
Well something in the love we share
Somehow never fades

But I keep holdin' on
Holdin' on to all we share
Holdin' on to memories
And all the storms we face

Memories seldom fade
Play over in my mind
If only I could have one wish
I'd turn back the hands of time

And I'd be holdin' on
Holdin' on to you so tight
Holdin' on with all I am
Holdin' you each night

But I can't undo mistakes I made
Or make up for the moments that we've missed
Turn back the hands of time
If only for one kiss

I keep holdin' on
Holdin' on
Holdin' on
Holdin' on

Keep holdin' on
Never let you go
Holdin' on
Holdin' on

Good At Goodbyes lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

I'm getting so good
Getting good at goodbye
When you come around
It's just a matter of time
You're walking out the door
But I won't cry
'Cause I'm getting so good
Getting good at goodbye

I'm getting so good
Getting good at goodbye
Just a couple drinks
And get a little high
Then I tell myself
That you was never mine
'Cause I'm getting so good
Getting good at goodbye

Don't worry about me
'Cause I'll be fine
Get your ass on outta here
I'll be alright

So you best keep walking
Get a moving right along
'Cause there's a time for leaving
And a getting it on
Yeah get it on now

Don't worry about me
'Cause I'll be fine
Get your ass on outta here
I'll be alright

If I heard you once
I heard you a thousand times
I'm getting too good
Getting good at goodbye
I'm getting so good
Getting good at goodbye
Bye bye

Adios amigos
C'est la vie

I'm getting so good
So good at goodbye
What do you expect
I do it all the time
When I see your face
I see two tail lights
I'm getting too good
Getting good at goodbye
I'm getting so good
Getting good at goodbye
I'm getting real good
Getting good at goodbye

The SnakeDoctor Circus (2019)












Guns, Gold & Guitars lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

Yeah old cooter jumped up from a bad dream
On the dawn of the day of the dead
And when a plan split his brain like a light beam
Made a suit outta chicken bone heads
And then he clucked and he crowed down to Main Street
While the flock fell into his trance
And as the news crew caught it for the TV
The hens sang while the Chickenman danced

They said the chickens are troubled
The poop's aimed at the fan
We're tired of livin' on bubbles
We're sick of trickle-down plans
We're tired of peckin' for a penny
And no corn in the stew
We're sick of bad for the many
And bein' great for a few

Life in the coop is gettin' real tough
The tractor's runnin' but the wheel's stuck
We're out here lookin' for the real stuff
Yeah the chickens want guns, and gold, and guitars
Yeah they really need guns, and gold, and guitars

And so the Chickenman rooster in the courthouse
Bad eggs went walkin' round armed
But when yardbirds landed down at Fort Knox
It tripped several federal alarms
So the congressmen staggered into action
Made a law for the troops to respond
But all the seals whipped out telecasters
And cut down on the Chickenman song

They said the chickens are troubled
The poop's aimed at the fan
We're tired of livin' on bubbles
We're sick of trickle-down plans
We're tired of peckin' for a penny
And no corn in the stew
We're sick of bad for the many
And bein' great for a few

Life in the coop is gettin' real tough
The tractor's runnin' but the wheel's stuck
We're out here lookin' for the real stuff
Yeah the chickens want guns, and gold, and guitars
Yeah they really need guns, and gold, and guitars

Yeah!

Life in the coop is gettin' real tough
The tractor's runnin' but the wheel's stuck
We're out here lookin' for the real stuff
Yeah the chickens want guns, and gold, and guitars
Yeah they really need guns, and gold, and guitars
Yeah they really need guns, and gold, and guitars
Yeah they really need...
Yeah they really need guns, and gold, and guitars
... guns, and gold, and guitars
Yeah they really need... guns, and gold, and guitars

The Reckoning lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

Well the fiery 5 points came from queen of Babylon
Rotten rapture and lines of lives that came undone
And how cool wind blew their dreams away like paper cups
Now they're bound and bearing the shadows of the gun
Let's sing

And the stranded senioritas fall and take a knee
For the anthem [?] dark and rising drum
While the cholos in their Chevrolets and mercy streets
And the shiny wall for the bankers at the Bronx

Then they line the halls of the prison, it becomes

But maybe then we'll be free
When the battle lines meet
Maybe then we'll be one
When the counting is done
Maybe then we'll be free
When the reckoning comes

So the choir boys hide their voices bruised and out of tune
While the priest is in the harbor rides a wave
And the bar girls drown their choices in their silver spoons
With a junkman's nightmare crashing in their veins

And the rich ride silver horses to their waiting ships
While the poor cry out for justice and cocaine
And they all bow to the new clown of the apocalypse
And he stamps the truth and slides out onto the stage

Then as the footlocks melt the grease paint from his face
It's very hard to tell the master from his slaves

But maybe then we'll be free
When the battle lines meet
Maybe then we'll be one
When the counting is done
Maybe then we'll be free
When the reckoning comes
When the reckoning comes
When the reckoning comes
When the reckoning comes

Maybe then we'll be free
When the battle lines meet
Maybe then we'll be one
When the counting is done
Maybe then we'll see peace
When the hearts are released
Maybe we'll reach true sun
When the gauntlet is run
Maybe then we'll be free
When the reckoning comes
When the reckoning comes
When the reckoning comes

Barely Enough lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

I got plenty wildfires
That never quit burning
Plenty wheels in my mind
That never stop turning
But the places they take me
Got barely enough of your love

I got plenty bad signs
That speak of my madness
I got me burning downtown
To sink in my sadness
Well baby come save me
'Cause I got barely enough of your love
Barely enough, barely enough of your love

There ain't enough kind years
There ain't enough soul
There ain't enough shy left for this wilted road
There ain't enough time left
There ain't enough hope
And never ain't enough diamonds
To buy back your love grown cold

There ain't enough kind years
There ain't enough soul
There ain't enough shy left for this wilted road
There ain't enough time left
There ain't enough hope
And never ain't enough diamonds
To buy back your love grown cold

I got plenty of schemes
That keep leading me nowhere
I got plenty bad dreams
That give me a good scare
But when I wake up
I got barely enough of your love

Barely enough, barely enough of your love
Barely enough, barely enough of your sweet love

Goddess Of Democracy lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

The Goddess of Democracy arrived a little bit late
But she danced with flair across the square outside the palace gates
Her hair piled high into the sky on bruised and bloody toes
She bared her breast and cried aloud "Sometimes that's how it goes"

The Goddess of Democracy
She really showed some nerve
Callin' out her old lover hypocrisy
With these immortal words
All we need are hearts to bleed
And a fresh new coat of paint
So let's all drink to Socrates
And get wasted with the saints

Talk about freedom boys
Wouldn't you love to have some now
When you gonna make the choice
The golden calf or the sacred cow?

The paranoia prophecies
Require we sedate
So I hid my dreams and my memories
Before it got too late
I won't deny I like to cried
I guess it was her fate
The Goddess of Democracy burning at the stake

Talk about freedom boys
Wouldn't you love to have some now
When you gonna make the choice
The golden calf or the sacred cow?
(Sacred cow)

The Goddess of Democracy was bound to take a fall
She almost landed on top of me
Crown of thorns and all
She blew a kiss then shook her fist
And danced into the flames
Saying "Follow me I'm Democracy
And I'll be back again"
(I'll be back again)
(I'll be back, I'll be back again)
(I'm Democracy)

I Think Your Time's Come lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus (feat. Don Von Tress)

Way you're up there on the street
With gun up your sleeve
And your favorite Napoleon hat
You make blame at your kind
Just don't kill us [?]
And I got no problem with that

But all the things you do
From the vile that you spew
Is dribbling down to my heart
I've seen 'bout all I can stand
Of your particular brand
And now it's time someone took that part

I think your time's come
I think your time's come
I think that you've been served
All that you deserve
And then some
So point your missiles at me
It doesn't matter
You said you'll fix this world
But it just seems to get sadder

Guess I can stay and wait
For everything to get great
But life is really not good on my block
Now something's coming for you
And it's long overdue
So I can sit here unwinding this clock

I think your time's come
I think your time's come
I think that you've been served
All that you deserve
And then some
So point your missiles at me
It doesn't matter
We've given you our world
But you won't quit till it's shattered

(Don't you think, don't you think
Don't you think)

So after you and your pals
Have finished lootin' my house
And all the money's safe in your sacks
I'm sure that no one would grieve
If you just pack up and leave
And pinky promise you'll never come back

[?]
[?] find a new retreat
Weighing high while your conscience turns black
But I think maybe you're crazy
And there ain't no hiding from that

I think your time's come
I think your time's come
I think that you've been served
All that you deserve
And then some
So point your missiles at me
It doesn't matter
You said you'll fix this world
But it just seems to get sadder
We've given you our world
But you won't quit till it's shattered

The Blood Of The Devil lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

The rough ways ashore
In the will of her eyes
And a monkey's controller
What's left of her life

Hopelessly empty
She's parked all she owns
In a rusted out Chevy
Off a Chert County road

Sadness and pleasure
Fences and walls
Yeah she never could ever
Make sense of it all

Was she pretty? Was she scattered?
Did she grow up too soon?
Now none of that matters
When the flame licks the spoon

But her booktexts remembers
As her dreams fade to black
How the weight of a nickel
Broke an honest girl's back

The blood of the devil
Flows through the needle
And the last angel singing
That Ave Maria

There's a dark spirit rolling
Over Dixie tonight
And these black bells are tolling
As she drifts from the line

The blood of the devil
Flows through the needle
And the last angel singing
That Ave Maria
The last angel singing
That Ave Maria

Angel In My Pocket lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

I drive a souped-up sickle
I lead a tough life
I get the women when I whistle
I keep up at night
I lost my job down at the station
But I don't kill 'em all
I got a buffalo nickel and a rabbit foot
Looking for some good luck

Well I'm all hillbilly
From my mullet to my boots
So don't you mess around with me
I got a screw loose

So when the devil's talking to me
And I feel I can't stop him
I call the angel in my pocket
'Cause I know she's gonna rock it

Yeah the skinny little angel was attacked by a crow
She's got a red hot paper with a smooth flow
When she slides her jimmy like a lovesick duck
She leaves me grinning like a monkey on a coconut truck

So when the demons press on through me
And the blues come knocking
I call the angel in my pocket
'Cause I know she's gonna rock it
She's gonna rock it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's gonna rock it)
(She's gonna...)

(She gonna—come on)

So when the people treat me crudely
I shut my door and I lock it
I call the angel in my pocket
'Cause I know she's gonna rock it
I call the angel in my pocket
'Cause I know she's gonna rock it
I call the angel in my pocket
'Cause I know she's gonna rock it
She's gonna rock it
She gonna rock it
She gonna rock it

Take It Easy Greazy lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus (feat. Don Von Tress)

Take it easy Greazy
You got a long way to slide
Take it easy Greazy
You got a long way to slide
Take it easy Ggreazy
You got a long way to slide
You cut a deal with the devil
Now it's gonna be a long ride

Tom Greazy was a bad man
He kept an out-of-stained heart
He shot a [?] black man
He reckoned greed was an art
He always needed more than many
He was president of vice
When all his brothers popped a penny
Old Greazy took five

Take it easy Greazy
You got a long way to slide
Take it easy Greazy
You got a long way to slide
Take it easy Ggreazy
You got a long way to slide
You climb aboard with the devil
Now it's gonna be a long ride

Tom Greazy needed money
Much like a baby needs milk
He found the crippled people funny
He took some comfort in guilt
He thought his reign will last forever
Thought he will always be around
So when he woke up with the reaper
Old Greazy looked shocked

Take it easy Greazy
You got a long way to slide
Take it easy Greazy
You got a long way to slide
Take it easy Ggreazy
You got a long way to slide
He fixed the [?] for a seven
[?] gonna burn out
You climb aboard with the devil
Now it's gonna be a long ride

Take it easy Greazy
You got a long way to slide
Take it easy Greazy
You got a long way to slide
Take it easy Ggreazy
You got a long way to slide
Started down on the level
But you landed on the wrong side
You reach and ask for a seven
But you only [?]
You cut a deal with the devil
Now it's gonna be a long ride

Take it easy Greazy
Take it easy Greazy
Take it easy Greazy
Take it easy Greazy

I've Been Around lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

Curtain down
It's time to go
End of the story
End of the show
There's no need, it would seem
In hanging round
This lonely town

I played to win
I lost a few
I made the papers
And I've been old news
But when I'm done, let it be
Written down
I've been around

I've been a beggar
Down on your street
I've had a treasure
Laid at my feet
I played a hero
I've been a clown
I flew like an arrow
Close to the ground

So raise a glass
Clear the floor
I'll take the last dance
And I'll find the door
And I'll smile, while the house
Lights go out
'Cause I've been around

I've been loved
I've been lost
I've been found
But I've been around
I've been around

Thin Line (2016)












Thin Line lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus (feat. Shelby Lynne)

It's a thin line
Between right and wrong
Good and bad
Dusk and dawn
It's a thin line
Between hate and love
Gates of hell
Heaven above
It's a thin line

It's a thin line
Between joy and being sad
Walking lost on the road ahead
Water lasting just as fast
It's a thin line
Between rich and poor
Having too much
Needing just a little more
It's a thin line

It's a thin line
Between willy and the law
She'd be awful
Between your heart and mine
Baby it's a thin line
Between Elvis and Jesus
What we love and what he says
Your brain brings to you immediately
Yeah it's a thin line
It's a thin line

It's a thin line
Between right and wrong
Good and bad
Dusk and dawn
It's a thin line
Between hate and love
Gates of hell
Heaven above
It's a thin line

It's a thin line
Between willy and the law
She'd be awful
Between your heart and mine
Baby it's a thin line
Between Elvis and Jesus
What we love and what he says
Your brain brings to you immediately
Yeah it's a thin line
It's a thin line

Lovin' Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again) lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

(originally by Kris Kristofferson)

I have seen the morning
Burning golden on the mountain in the skies
Aching with the feeling of
The freedom of an eagle when she flies
Turning on the world
The way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine
And the shadows of her eyes

Waking in the morning
To the feeling of her fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people
And the places that I've been
Teaching me that yesterday
Was something that I never thought of trying
Talking of tomorrow and the money
Love and time we have to spend

Loving her was easier
Than anything I'll ever do again
Coming close together with a feeling
That I've never known before in my time
She ain't ashamed to be a woman
Or afraid to be a friend
I don't know the answers to the easy way
She's opened every door in my mind

Dreaming was as easy
As believing it was never gonna end
Loving her was easier
Than anything I'll ever do again

Dreaming was as easy
As believing it was never gonna end
Loving her was easier
Than anything I'll ever do again
Loving her was easier
Than anything I'll ever do again

They're Playin' Our Song lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

Took a long walk just the other day
Through the shadows of my mind
Pretty sure I saw you standing there
For a moment back in time

That smile of yours welcome me back home
To a place where love was young
I look for our tomorrow
Living while we sung

They're playing our song
They're playing our song

Let me take you in my arms, hold you tight
Loving you all through the night
Your sweet lips upon my skin
Feel you once again playing our song

I think back on what you said
And how time goes so fast
Now I look for our tomorrow
Reaching for the past

They're playing our song
They're playing our song

Let me take you in my arms, hold you tight
Loving you all through the night
Your sweet lips upon my skin
Feel you once again

They're playing our summertime in the wind
And even if it's just pretend
Volume's up, the top is down
The love is all around

They're playing our song
They're playing our song
They're playing our song
They're playing our song

They're playing our song
They're playing our song

My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

(originally by Waylon Jennings)

I grew up dreamin' of bein' a cowboy
And lovin' the cowboy ways
Pursuin' the life of my high-ridin' heroes
I burned up my childhood days
I learned all the rules of the modern day drifter
Don't you hold on to nothin' too long
Just take what you need from the ladies then leave them
With the words of a sad country song

My heroes have always been cowboys
And they still are, it seems
Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of
Themselves and their slow movin' dreams

Cowboys are special with their own brand of misery
From being alone too long
You could die from the cold in the arms of a nightman
Knowin' well that your best days are gone
Pickin' up hookers instead of my pen
I let the words of my years fade away
Old worn out saddles, and old worn out memories
With no one and no place to stay

My heroes have always been cowboys
And they still are, it seems
Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of
Themselves and their slow movin' dreams

Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of
Themselves and their slow movin' dreams

Stop Pickin' On Willie lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

There was a man that devised a plan to keep our plans alive
When the news said "this country's dead", but his music still survived
When there's a water gate and we're all hating, the rest seems kinda silly
Don't y'all think it's time to stop pickin' on Willie?

Now this silent country step-up fare they dragged on forever
Big old live-wire where other's died from some undercover endeavor
On the world stage the crowd raged when the team stopped Willie
Don't y'all think it's time to stop pickin' on Willie?

Stop pickin' on Willie
Can't you see a hero in disguise?
Stop pickin' on Willie
Let your maker be the judge through his own eyes
Let your maker be the judge through his own eyes

[?]
Some flag burning, commie preacher [?] demonstrator don't have to pay a dime
Saddam Hussein lost his brain and the whole world tried to kill him
Don't y'all think it's time to stop pickin' on Willie?

Stop pickin' on Willie
Can't you see a hero in disguise?
Stop pickin' on Willie
Let your maker be the judge through his own eyes
Let your maker be the judge through his own eyes

Sunday Morning Coming Down lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus (feat. Shelby Lynne)

(originally by Ray Stevens)

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast
Wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert
Then I fumbled to my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt
Then I shaved my face and combed my hair
Stumbled down the stairs to start the day

I'd smoked my brain the night before
With cigarettes and songs that I'd been picking
Then I'd lit my first and watched a small kid
Cussing at a can that he was kicking
Then I crossed an empty street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone's frying chicken
And it took me back to something
That I'd lost somehow somewhere along the way

On a Sunday morning sidewalk
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
Cause there's something in a Sunday
Makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing short of dying
Half as lonesome as the sound
On a sleeping city sidewalk
Sunday morning coming down

In the park I saw a daddy
With a laughing little girl that he was swinging
And I stopped beside a Sunday school
And listened to the songs they were singing
Then I headed back from somewhere far away
A lonely bell was ringing
And it echoed through the canyons
Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday

On a Sunday morning sidewalk
I'm wishing, Lord, that I was stoned
Cause there's something in a Sunday
Makes a body feel alone
And there's nothing short of dying
Half as lonesome as the sound
On a sleeping city sidewalk
Sunday morning coming down

Tulsa Time lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus (feat. Joe Perry)

(originally by Don Williams)

I left Oklahoma drivin' in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was goin' on to Arizona, maybe on to California
Where all the people live so fine
My baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy
I was goin' to show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool an' I don't need no more schoolin'
I was born to just walk the line

Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Well you know I've been through it
When I set my watch back to it
Livin' on Tulsa time

Well there I was in Hollywood wishin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone line
But they don't need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs
Guess I'm just wastin' time
Well then I got to thinkin', man I'm really sinkin'
And I really had a flash this time
I had no business leavin' and nobody would be grievin'
If I went on back to Tulsa time

Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I've been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time

Hillbilly On lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

From the hills of West, by God, Virginia
To the halls of Tennessee
Appalachia in my soul
And my roots, they all run deep
From the coal mines to the moonshine
All the way down to Cherokee
That smoke that burns makes my spirit churn
In the way things ought to be

And we keep rolling
We keep rocking, yeah
Well it's alright, okay to be wrong
Ya'll come along, get your hillbilly on

Let's get some brew and just me and you
Head out to the watering hole
Pull that tune rope down, monkey around
Maybe break out the old king cole
Let's do some fishing and some big time wishing
Maybe take a little sip
Let's get high and swing through the air
And maybe just skinny dip

And we keep rolling
We keep rocking
Well it's alright, okay to be wrong
Ya'll come along, get your hillbilly on

We'll saddle up baby
Let's ride all night beneath the stars above
Heaven waits, don't hesitate
It's a hell of a night for love

And we'll get to rocking
We keep rolling, yeah
Well it's alright, okay to be wrong
Ya'll come along, get your hillbilly on

Killing The Blues lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus (feat. Shooter Jennings)

(originally by Rowland Salley)

Leaves were falling
Down like embers
In colors red and gold
They set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam
In our eyes

Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
And killing the blues

Now I am guilty of something
I hope you never do
Because there is nothing
Sadder than losing yourself in a love

Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues

Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues

For then you ask me
Just to leave you
To go out on my own
And get what I need to
You want me to find
What I've already had

Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues

Yeah somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud
Killing the blues

Killing the blues

I've Always Been Crazy lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus (feat. Shooter Jennings & Lee Roy Parnell)

(originally by Waylon Jennings)

I've always been crazy and the trouble that it's put me through
I've been busted for things that I did, and I didn't do
I can't say I'm proud of all of the things that I've done
But I can say I've never intentionally hurt anyone

I've always been different with one foot over the line
Winding up somewhere one step ahead or behind
It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane

Beautiful lady, are you sure that you understand
The chances your taking loving a free living man
Are you really sure, you really want what you see
Be careful of something that's just what you want it to be

I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane
Nobody knows if it's something to bless or to blame
So far I ain't found a rhyme or a reason to change
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane

Hey Elvis lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus (feat. Bryan Adams and Glenn Hughes)

("Thin Line" Version)

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
Everybody's wonderin' when you're comin' back
Everybody's waitin' just to hear you sing
Hey Elvis you're still the king

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's wonderin' when you're comin' back
Everybody's waitin' just to hear you sing
Hey Elvis

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

You're still the king
Still the king
You're still the king
Oh, you're still the king
Still the king
Still the king

Help Me Make It Through The Night lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus (feat. Kenley Shea Holm)

(originally by Kris Kristofferson)

Take the ribbon from your hair
Shake it loose and let it fall
Layin' soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall

Come and lay down by my side
Till the early mornin' light
All I'm takin' is your time
Help me make it through the night

I don't care what's right or wrong
And I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
For tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

I don't care what's right or wrong
And I won't try to understand
Let the devil take tomorrow
For tonight I need a friend

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight
And it's sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night

I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night

Hope (Let It Find You) lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

I've been through every kind of hurt
And I felt more joy
Than anyone deserve
I leave my dreams down the dirt
And then I found a way
To believe there's so much more

I never asked why
I just keep trying

Hope will give you all you need
And take away what binds you
Hope will give you everything
If you let it find you
Hope will make you whole
Hope will fill your soul
With hope

When my spirit starts to break
And I've had all I could take
I reach out for something
And when I'm searching for my truth
The same ray of proof
Leads me back to you

I never asked why
I just keep trying

Hope will give you all you need
And take away what binds you
Hope will give you everything
If you let it find you
Hope will heal your soul

I never asked why
I just keep trying
There's no denying

Hope will bring you to your knees
And take away the chains that bind you

Hope will give you everything
If you let it find you
Hope will make you whole
Hope will fill your soul
With hope

Going Where The Lonely Go lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus (feat. Braison Cyrus)

(originally by Merle Haggard)

Rollin' with the flow
Going where the lonely go
Anywhere the lights are low
Going where the lonely go

Making up things to do
Not running in all directions, trying to find you
I'm just rollin' with the flow
Going where the lonely go

And I've got to keep goin'
I can't lay down
Sleep won't hardly come
Where there's loneliness all around

I've got to keep goin'
Traveling down this lonesome road
And I'll be rollin' with the flow
Goin' where the lonely go

I've got to keep goin'
I can't lay down
Sleep won't hardly come
Where there's loneliness all around

I've got to keep goin'
Traveling down this lonesome road
And I'll be rollin' with the flow
Goin' where the lonely go

Angels Protect This Home lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus (feat. Miley Cyrus)

We all marvel at the airplanes up so high
But we aren't doin' nothin' but copyin'
What we see in the birds in the sky
We all marvel at the skyscrapers up so high
If we don't be careful
All the giraffes might not have no life

We all would just breathe in, breathin' in oxygen
But that's just what you're thinkin'
'Cause you can't see all the shade
We all marvel at the airplanes up in the sky
But we have to learn from
The birds, they all know how to fly

And her mama was prayin'
As the baby was dyin'
And the earth could not breathe any longer
'Cause the sea had died
And you can't drink the water
And you can't breathe the air
You can't find love anywhere
'Cause they are killin'
They're out killin' in the street
They are sittin' on fire
And the devil's comin' for you and me

Comin' for you and me
Comin' for you and me
Comin' for you and me

I was singing this the other day
You think you wanna get rid
Of all them past-can-bes
But when they no longer exist on the planet
You'll just have to see
We've gotta take care
Gotta take care of the earth and the air
And the sky and the water
Angels protect this home

And the angels were singin'
Deep meditation

Change My Mind (2012)




















Change My Mind lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

I’ve been talkin’ to myself

Thinkin’ ’bout changing my mind, I’ve been talkin’ to myself
I thought I put your memory high upon a shelf
Well you know I said I’d forget you, you go away in time
But lately I’ve been thinking and I’m thinkin’ bout changing my mind
Change my mind, woo-hoo-hoo
Change my mind, change my mind
Woo-hoo-hoo

Well I said I love you, and then I said goodbye
I know I made you happy, and then I made you cry
If I promised you forever, then I told you a lie
But lately I’ve been thinkin’ and I’m thinkin’ ’bout changing my mind
Change my mind, woo-hoo-hoo
Change my mind, change my mind
Woo-hoo-hoo
Change my mind

Thinkin bout changing my mind,
I’ve been talkin’ to myself
Thought I put your memory high upon a shelf
Well you know I said I’d forget you, you go away in time
But lately I’ve been thinking, and I’m thinkin’ bout changing my mind
Change my mind, woo-hoo-hoo
Change my mind, change my mind
Woo-hoo-hoo
Oh I’ll change my mind

Once Again lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

Moonlight come callin',
On my window pane,
Ain't seen the sunlight,
Lord I felt the rain on my skin,
You're not here once again,

I check my cellphone, I read my mail,
Cold wind keeps blowin',
Right behind your sail,
And you keep goin',
When will this misery end,

Your picture's in my head,
I feel my heart break once again,
You know I loved you,
Still you chose to leave back then,

Though I've been broken,
There's still hope that I can mend,
If I could see you once again,
If I could see you once again,

Moonlight keep callin',
On my window pane,
Ain't seen the sunlight,
Lord I felt the rain on my skin,
You're not here once again,

Cold wind keep blowin',
I feel my heart break once again,
You know I love you,
I feel my heart break once again,
Once again

Hillbilly Heart lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

Born down in the hollow,
Down among the hill,
Never had a lot of luck,
Lord I had some thrills,

Keepin' it country,
Keepin it country all the time,
Country is as country does,
Country is what country loves,

Walkin' by the river,
All along the tracks,
Always tried to look ahead,
But Lord I love looking back,

And keepin' it country,
Keepin' it country all the time,
Well I've been this way from the start,
I got a hillbilly heart,

Lord I love the guitar,
Love to hear it loud,
If you don't like what you hear,
You should leave this crowd,

We're keepin' it country,
Keepin' it country all the time,
Well this southern twang here is my art,
I got a hillbilly heart,

I love my truck,
Love to drive it fast,
If you don't like the way I drive,
You can kiss my ass,

I'm keepin' it country,
Keepin' it country all the time,
Well you can change every part,
Except my hillbilly heart,

Well I've been this way from the start,
I got a hillbilly heart, I got a hillbilly heart.

Tomorrow Became Yesterday lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

We were young, barely outta school,
Fell in love like lovers do,
And the whole world seemed brand new,

Had a little girl and a little boy,
How we shared in our pride and joy,
And each day another dream came true,

Somehow it all just slipped away,
Oh how a memory fades,
Sunny skies turned to grey,
Tomorrow became yesterday,

You had a smile that I recall,
I see you laughin' there in the hall,
With that look twinklin' in your eyes,

We used to talk for hours on end,
Dreamed of forever remember when,
The only thing I didn't love was saying goodbye,

Now we stand here on the fray,
Not really knowin' just what to say,
Should I go or should I stay,

Tomorrow became Yesterday [x3]

We were young, barely outta school,
Fell in love like lovers do,
And the whole world seemed brand new,

Never dreamed how things would change,
How our lives have rearranged,
I'd look around and you'd be gone,
Somehow you just moved on,

Now it's time to turn the page,
Walk away to another stage,
I pray to God this memory never fades,

Tomorrow became yesterday [x2]

We were young barely outta school,
Fell in love like lovers do,
And the whole world seemed brand new.

Good As Gone lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

You're just as good as gone,
You've been leaving for so long,
Ain't been yours, You ain't been mine,
It's been over for quite some time,
So go ahead walk on out the door,
You don't love me anymore,
We know that this just can't drag on,
It's too bad you're just as good as gone,

I see that you've made up your mind,
And goodbye's for good this time,
No need to fight no need to fuss,
It's too late for the two of us,
I feel so bad I feel so blue,
In my heart I know that we are through,
I'm losing you and oh lonely won,
It's obvious, you're just as good as gone,

You're just as good as gone,
You've been leaving for so long,
Ain't been yours, You ain't been mine,
It's been over for quite some time,
So go ahead walk on out the door,
You don't love me anymore,
We know that this just can't drag on,
It's too bad you're just as good as gone,

You're just as good as gone,
You've been leaving for so long,
Ain't been yours, You ain't been mine,
It's been over for quite some time,
So go ahead walk on out the door,
You don't love me anymore,
We know that this just can't drag on,
It's too bad you're just as good as gone,

It's so sad you're just as good as gone.

Forgot To Forget lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

I forgot to forget
now I live to regret
like when we walked away
all the words I didn't say
could've changed things I did.
Now I try to break down,
that our love could've end
though I swore I wouldn't [?]
or recall the day we met
I forgot to forget.

I forgot to forget
your love alone,
now memory has said,
on your grace and charm
I never look at the moon,
or think of the star
we laugh at her
beating in my heart

I forgot to forget
now I live to regret
like when we walked away
all the words I didn't say
could've changed things I did.
Now I try to break down,
that our love could've end
though I swore I wouldn't [?]
or recall the day we met
I forgot to forget.

Set me free, set me free, set me free

I am a look at the moon, or think of the star
well now that hurt, we can [?] heart

I forgot to forget
now I live to regret
like when we walked away
all the words I didn't say
could've changed things I did.
Now I try to break down,
that our love could've end
though I swore I wouldn't [?]
or recall the day we met
I forgot to forget.
Though I never would've bet
how my mind is so sad
I forgot to forget.
Now my memory is gonna..
and the heart is wanna get
'cause I forgot to forget

Oh I forgot to forget.

That's What Daddys Do lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

I was just a young boy
The day I learned to ride my bike
I asked daddy are you sure if you let go
I'm gonna be alright
He said trust your self my boy
Keep your faith and know that dreams can still come true
And know im her to catch your fall
Cause that's what daddy's do

That's what daddy's do
They shield you from the rain
Shelter in the storm
There to ease your pain
Wherever you may rome
What your going through
Know im by your side
Cause that's what daddy's do

Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na

Now that I'm a grown man
With my own family
Pictures of my daddy on the wall
Of that fade memories
I can still see him standing there
The day he read the doctors news
Though he tried to hide his pain
He smiled and said son that's what daddy's do

That's what daddy's do
They shield you from the rain
Shelter in the storm
There to ease your pain
Wherever you may rome
What your going through
Know I'm by your side
Cause that's what daddy's do

Yeah, know I'm by your side
Cause that's what daddy's do

Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na!

Hope Is Just Ahead lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

I wonder why I had the blues,
so I turn on the evening news
children running from their school
because it's some damn fools,
have no morrows and more [?]

Another kid late in the block
another town ground in the flood
just a tragic travel tears
lessons not learned through the years
have all save us from our fears.

I hope is just ahead
sorrow is just behind us
from what the good books said
the truth will never bind us
who's to say I wish I find
I guess I grew for sure in time
to then let's keep the dream in [?]
for sure their hope is just ahead.

Oh you gotta believe
you gotta put your faith,
get down on your knees
oh you gotta believe.

People fighting in the streets
meanings with no full deet
how much longer can relax
have we learned nothing from our past
these are the questions when I ask.

I hope is just ahead
sorrow is just behind us
from what the good books said
the truth will never bind us
who's to say I wish I find
I guess I grew for sure in time
to then let's keep the dream in [?]
for sure their hope is just ahead.
to then let's keep the dream [?]
for sure their hope is just ahead.

Oh you gotta believe
keep your faith
get down on your knees
oh, you gotta believe
ohh, you gotta believe.
gotta keep your faith
or get down on your knees,
oh you gotta believe.

I'm So Miserable lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

I wake up in the morning in a lonely ice and bed
Thinkin' bout the nightmare that just played in my head
I think of all the things I miss
Like moments that we share a kiss so dear
I'm so miserable without you it's almost like you're here

I search your house for coffee but it's to no avail
The days not even started it seems it's shot to hell
The jeans I'm wearin' look like dirt
As I put on my old wrinkled shirt it smells like beer
I'm so miserable without you it's almost like you're here

But there was a time when you were mine and life was such a pretty dream
Then you fell in love with another man that changed everything
The world I knew changed everyday as I watched it all slip away so clear
I'm so miserable without you it's almost like you're here

I turn on my radio they play your favorite song
Did I not do something right was there something I done wrong
As you pulled away you shouldn't tried
Instead of feeling foolish pride and fear
I'm so miserable without you it's almost like you're here
I'm so miserable without you it's almost like you're here

Stomp lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

The more you stomp in shit
The more it stinks.
At least is what my daddy said he thinks
Ride along, I just gotta take your game
Cause the more you stomp in shit, the more it stinks!

My mother told me such a long time ago
Be careful where you walk, and keep your eyes on the road
Don't share no secrets, spread no lies
Don't you be a beggar, [?] no alibis
Because the more you stomp in shit,
the more it stinks!

The more you stomp in shit
The more it stinks.
At least is what my daddy said he thinks
Ride along, I just gotta take your game
Cause the more you stomp in shit, the more it stinks!

I said the the more you stomp in shit
The more it stinks!
At least is what my daddy said he thinks
Ride along, I just gotta take your game
Cause the more you stomp in shit, the more it stinks! [x2]
I said the the more you stomp in shit
The more it stinks!

I'm American (2011)




















Runway Lights lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

Graduated from Lincoln High
Somehow I made my way through VMI
Joined the Navy and I learned to fly
That’s what I always dreamed of
There’s a hometown girl who wears my ring
Her name is painted on my starboard wing
Tonight I’m half a world from everything
And everyone that I love.

I wonder how the Yankees did tonight
I sure hope grandma's doin' alright
I wish I knew what momma's cooking for supper
I pray Jane had got my letter and knows how much I love her

Lord knows I got a job to do
I just can’t wait until it’s through
I keep dreamin’ bout that homebound flight
Looking for those runway lights.

Grandpa did his part for Uncle Sam
Daddy did his time in Vietnam
Now I'm flying over sea and sand
Through unfriendly skies
Man if it was up to me
I’d be touchin’ down in Tennessee
My baby standing there waiting on me
Tears in her eyes

I wonder how the Yankees did tonight
I sure hope grandma's doin' alright
I wish I knew what momma's cooking for supper
I pray Jane had got my letter and knows how much I love her

Lord knows I got a job to do
I can’t wait until it’s through
I keep dreamin’ bout that homebound flight
Looking for those runway lights.
Looking for those runway lights.
Looking for those runway lights.

We Fought Hard lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

My big brother broke my arm
Roughhousing out in our backyard
He'd hold me down till I couldn't breathe
Still think he put the tough in me, we fought hard

We both dated Katy Lee
He swore he kissed her before me
We saw her out with a boy named Jack
When it all went down I had his back, we fought hard

We fought hard, we fought real
No, you couldn't tell us different
We thought we were made of steel

We went all in, we gave 'em hell
Every loss and every victory
Is a story we could tell

These sweet scars that left their mark
We fought hard

They shipped us out, 2001
To a battle in the desert sun
I won't lie, I was scared
But at least I had my brother there
We fought hard

We fought hard, we fought real
No, you couldn't tell us different
We thought we were made of steel

We went all in, we gave 'em hell
Every loss and every victory
Is a story we could tell

These sweet scars that left their mark
We fought hard

Rode in the plane, I brought him home
Couldn't let him come back all alone
I met my mama at the gate
And all that I could think is

Was mama, we fought hard
And we fought real
Though you tried to tell us different
We thought we were made of steel

We went all in, we gave 'em hell
I never thought this'd be the story
That I'd ever have to tell

These sweet scars they leave their mark
We fought hard

Keep the Light On lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

Everybody's on their own track
There ain't one road, there ain't one map
Come on, keep the light on

Been gone so long, my jeans are faded
I've seen this world, man, it's overrated
Come on, keep the light on

'Cause I'm coming home tonight
Yeah, I'm coming home tonight

Put on that dress, the red one I gave you
Let's spend all night getting reacquainted
Come on, keep the light on

We'll call the boys, tell 'em all I'm coming
This soldier's rockin', get that jukebox a-humming
Come on, keep the light on

'Cause I'm coming home tonight
Yeah, I'm coming home tonight

Now is the time, let's take a chance
Let's take the world by the seat of its pants
Let's make some noise, let's make it last
Just give me a sign, baby, keep the light on

Let's shake the stands and wake the nation
I'm rounding third and I'm coming home
Come on, keep the light on

We'll call my folks and call the papers
I'm on my way, this time I'm staying
Come on, keep the light on

'Cause I'm coming home tonight
Yeah, I'm coming home tonight

Now is the time, let's take a chance
Let's take the world by the seat of its pants
Let's make some noise, let's make it last
Just give me a sign, baby, keep the light on
Keep the light on

Stripes And Stars lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

It's getting harder everyday being half a world away
I'm so lonely here without you
It ain't easy to believe, I'm being all that I can be
Missing everything about you

But then I see your glory flying
And remember everything behind it

I see our baby's face, brave souls who paved the way
Beyond the red, white and blue
I see the chance to dream sewn into every seam
That flag is so much more than stripes and stars

Another candle on his cake, wish you could've seen his face
When he said, "Save some for daddy"
No, it doesn't feel quite fair that they keep you over there
When we both need you so badly

Then I see your glory flying
And remember everything behind it, hey

I see our baby's face, brave souls who paved the way
Beyond the red, white and blue
I see the chance to dream sewn into every seam
That flag is so much more than stripes and stars

When I'm all out of tears and I start to lose the faith
I just take a look around, yeah
I see the reasons why we need to sacrifice
And find the strength to look past now

I see the hope it brings, what it really means
That flag is so much more

I see our baby's face, brave souls who paved the way
Beyond the red, white and blue
I see the chance to dream sewn into every seam
That flag is so much more, so much more
I see so much more than stripes and stars

So much more

I'm American lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

One red line in our home town
you everybody from miles around
this country made me who I am
I thank God I'm American

[Chorus:]
Ohhhh I'm American
red, white and blue
I'm American
From my head down to my boots

Mama's in the kitchen suppers almost up
daddy on the front porch?
Raise me up do what I can
proud is hell I'm American

[Chorus:]

I'm American

Ohhh yeah
I'm just a boy you see
All forget what we thought to me
freedom and free you can't deny
don't forget those sacrifice

I'm American
From my head down to my boots
I'm American
red, white and blue
Ohhhhh
I'm American

Old Army Hat lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

He came home to Tennessee
Young man at the end of forty five
Only one of seven men in his platoon
That made it back alive

And he must've seen some tough things
But he never said too much about all that
Put his pictures and his memories in our cedar chest
Everything but his old army hat

By the time that I was born
The winds of change had swept across our land
They were burning flags and draft cards
When they bothered to take some kind of stand

Now we used to laugh at grandpa
Like he was some old relic from the past
'Cause he never left the house unless he was wearing
That funny looking worn out army hat

Every eye was on him
Anytime when he went anywhere
They whispered and they pointed
But you could tell my grandpa didn't care

"I ain't wearing this for them", he'd say
"It's a whole lot more than that
For my buddies who gave everything
The least that I can do is keep on wearing this old army hat"

He called me up one morning
Said he'd seen it on the news on his TV
"They've opened up a monument to World War II
In Washington DC"

"I ain't getting any younger
And I wish someone would take me to see that"
And I couldn't help but think they're gonna laugh at you up there
If you show up in that silly army hat

Two strangers, both salute
As grandpa walked up to the monument
One said, "Thank you soldier, for the job well done"
The other said, "Amen"

And a young boy told him
"Sir, my daddy went to war and didn't make it back
Could you take a picture standing here beside me
And maybe let me wear your army hat"

Every eye was on him
There was not a dry one in the crowd
They whispered and they pointed
As my grandpa stood up extra tall and proud

And he told him, "Son, just keep it"
When the young boy tried his best to give it back
"You're a brave little soldier and every soldier needs
His very own authentic army hat"

"For your daddy who gave everything the least that I can do
Is pass on this old worn out army hat"

Nineteen lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

Nineteen
Number on his back
Voted captain of his high school football team
Took us all the way to State
Got a scholarship to play down in Tennessee

Said he could run, he could duck
He could throw, he could go
Like you never seen
Nineteen

On the day those twin towers came down
His whole world turned around
He told 'em all, "Y'all, I can't play ball
There's a war on now"

So he marched right in with a few good men
And joined the Marines
Nineteen

He's the boy next door
He might've carried your bags at the grocery store
Now he's somebody's son in a hole with a gun
In some foreign land
Trying to hold on to his American Dreams, nineteen

There's a sniper out there in the dark somewhere
And a soldier down
Need someone who can run, who can duck
And go get him out

It takes one good man to raise his hand
Take one for the team
How 'bout you, nineteen?

He's the boy next door
He might've carried your bags at the grocery store
Now he's somebody's son in a hole with a gun
In some foreign land
Trying to hold on to his American Dreams
Nineteen

Brought him home today
With the big parade down on main street
Gave him a purple heart, a silver star
Soldier gave a speech

Said, "He could run, he could duck, he could throw
He's the one who rescued me"
Said, "He could've played for Tennessee"

Um, number nineteen
He was nineteen

Some Gave All lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

I knew a man called him Sandy Kane few folks even knew his name
But a hero yes was he
He left a boy came back a man still many just don't understand
About the reasons we are free
I can't forget the look in his eyes or the tears he cried
As he said these words to me

[Chorus:]
All gave some some gave all
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

Now Sandy Kane is no longer here but his words are oh so clear
As they echo throughout 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 live with pride and don't forget those who died
America can't you see

[Chorus]

And if you ever think of me think of all your liberties
And recall yes recall some gave all some gave all

Achy Breaky Heart 25 lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus (feat. The Silver Bullet Band & Caballo Dorado)

You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I'm gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
You can tell my arms go back to the farm
You can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more

But don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man, ooh

Te gusta vivir bien te juro que tal vez
Yo pueda darte algo de valor
Or tell your brother Cliff whose fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me anyway
Me he andado por las ramas
Por vigas y por nada
No tengo más motivo que tu amor
Or you can tell my eyes to watch out for my mind
It might be walking out on me today

No rompas más mi pobre corazón
Estás pegando justo entiéndelo
Si quiebras poco más mi pobre corazón
Me harás mil pedazos quiérelo, ooh

No rompas más mi pobre corazón
Estás pegando justo entiéndelo
Si quiebras poco más mi pobre corazón
Me harás mil pedazos quiérelo, ooh-ooh
Ooh!
Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
My achy breaky heart
Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart
Ooh eh alright, Come on, Alright
No rompas más mi pobre corazón (my achy breaky heart)
Estás pegando justo entiéndelo (I just don't think he'd understand)
Si quiebras poco más mi pobre corazón
He might blow up and kill this man
Don't tell my heart

Chevys And Fords lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus & Johnny McGuire

Stole my first whiskey kiss on the back of one
Heard my first country song through the dash of one
Made millions of memories between those two doors
Yeah, I come from a long line of Chevys and Fords

Lots of beer cans and dolls have rode in the back
And Mom always wanted a Cadillac
But that was a few dollars more than we could afford
So I come from a long line of Chevys and Fords

They were red white and rusty
All dented up and dusty
They were sitting in that church parking lot every Sunday
Out in front of the bars
Or parked under the stars
With a girl in your arms who don't want nothing more
Than a guy from a long line of Chevys and Fords

After the Friday night lights were done
We'd pick up our girls and go ride in one
We'd circle them up in a field of cut corn
'Cause we come from a long line of Chevys and Fords

They were red white and rusty
All dented up and dusty
They were sitting in that church parking lot every Sunday
Out in front of the bars
Or parked under the stars
With a girl in your arms who don't want nothing more
Than a guy from a long line of Chevys and Fords

When they broke down we'd cuss 'em and kick 'em some
Then we'd haul 'em back home and we'd fix 'em up
Drive to town and grab another six-pack from the store
Yeah, I come from a long line of

Red white and rusty
All dented up and dusty
They were sitting in that church parking lot every Sunday
Out in front of the bars
Or parked under the stars
With a girl in your arms who don't want nothing more
Than a guy from a long line of Chevys and Fords

And on the day that I get called back home to the Lord
I bet there's a long line of Chevys and Fords
(That's right)

Chevys and Fords and...
Thank you Lord, for my Chevy and Ford

I Am...I Said lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

(originally by Neil Diamond)

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time
The feeling is laid back
Palm trees grow and rent's so low
And don't you know, I keep thinking about it
Making my way back

Well, I'm New York City born and raised
And nowadays, I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine but it ain't home
New York's home but it ain't mine no more

"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even a chair
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... said I
And I am lost and I can't even say why
Leaving me lonely still

Did you ever read about a frog
Who dreamed of being a king?
And then became one
Well, except for the names and a few other changes
If you talk about me
The story is the same one

But I've got an emptiness deep inside and I've tried
But it won't let me go
And I'm not a man who likes to swear
But I've never cared for the sound of being alone

"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even a chair
"I am"... I cried
"I am"... said I
And I am lost and I can't even say why
Leaving me lonely, still
Leaving me lonely, still
(Lonely)
(Lonely)

L.A.'s fine, the sun shines most the time

It's All The Same To Me lyrics - Billy Ray Cyrus

Girl, you can head north, south, east or west
Which way you go, I couldn't care less
It doesn't matter, if this is where
You want to be

You can take the couch, you can take the chair
It makes no difference, I don't care
Can't you see, it's all the same to me

You can put me on some island
In the middle of the sea
Or lock me in a prison
With no chance of ever being free
Or run a dagger through my heart
Stand back and watch me bleed
Oh, baby you can leave
It's all the same to me

Day or night, rain or shine
I'll be alone, still losing my mind
Without you, it's all the same to me

You can put me on some island
In the middle of the sea
Or lock me in a prison
With no chance of ever being free
Or run a dagger through my heart
Stand back and watch me bleed
Oh, baby you can leave
It's all the same to me

I could never love someone else
If I can't have you
You might as well leave

You can put me on some island
In the middle of the sea
Or lock me in a prison
With no chance of ever being free
Or run a dagger through my heart
Stand back and watch me bleed
Oh, baby you can leave
It's all the same to me

Yeah baby if you leave
It's all the same to me

It's all the same to me
Yeah baby if you leave
It's all the same to me

[Billy Ray Cyrus & {Young Thug}:]
{Yeehaw}
Oh, oh-oh
Oh

Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
(Kio, Kio, {woo})

[Lil Nas X & (Young Thug):]
I got the horses in the back
Horse tack is attached
Hat is matte black
Got the boots that's black to match (Woo)
Ridin' on a horse, ha
You can whip your Porsche
I been in the valley
You ain't been up off that porch, now

[Lil Nas X:]
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'

[Young Thug:]
Maserati rowdy, got a V12 for my bride (Skrrt)
Foggy rocky road, got a three-wheeler inside (Ayy)
All I wanna do is take a pill, catch a chill vibe
Real prince, I'm really the real don
I'ma take a horse to the South Berry Road (Ayy)
I don't remember her name, but I painted on her nose (Ayy)
Country money, I don't gotta do no chores
I'm a menace, I got women tryna sneak me through their doors (Skrrt)

[Young Thug & (Lil Nas X):]
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me
(Can't nobody tell me nothin')
You can't tell me, you can't tell me

Hat down, cross town, livin' like a rockstar
Spent a lot of money on my brand new guitar
Baby's got a habit: diamond rings and Fendi sports bras
Ridin' down Rodeo in my Maserati sports car

[Mason Ramsey & (Lil Nas X):]
Hold up, let me tell y'all somethin'
You can't tell me nothin'
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
(You can't tell me nothin')

[Mason Ramsey:]
Hop up in my Razor, got a thousand acres
Ride up on the cows with it, pray that it don't faze her
Aye-o, aye-o, yippee-o ki-yay
If you ain't got no giddy up then giddy out my way

[Billy Ray Cyrus, Mason Ramsey & Lil Nas X:]
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more

[Young Thug:]
Yeehaw

Plans lyrics - FIREROSE & Billy Ray Cyrus

Can't see my life without you in it
I fall in love with you more every minute
Everyday there's something new I love about you
There's no one else for me my heart knows this
'Cuz you're the one it wants to get old with
You're the one I see being the one beside me
So have you got plans, plans

Have you got plans for forever
Do you have 'til the end of time free
Have you got plans for forever
Do you wanna make them with me
'Cuz I swear there's nothing else I'd rather do
Than plan the rest of my life with you
Plan the rest of my life with you

And through the years I'll hold you closer
To me you'll never be one day older
I'll still feel the butterflies
Even after a lifetime
And with every single touch of your hand
I'll fall in love with you all over again
You're the one I need
So if you feel what I feel
Then let's make some plans

Have you got plans for forever
Do you have 'til the end of time free
Have you got plans for forever
Do you wanna make them with me
'Cuz I swear there's nothing else I'd rather do
Than plan the rest of my life with you

Gonna give you my time
For at least a hundred lifetimes
So I need oh, I need to know

Have you got plans for forever
Do you have 'til the end of time free
Have you got plans for forever
Do you wanna make them with me
'Cuz I swear there's nothing else I'd rather do
Than plan the rest of my life with you
Plan the rest of my life with you
Rest of my life with you...
