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

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)

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

Than plan the rest of my life with you

Plan the rest of my life with you

Rest of my life with you...
