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
