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)

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
