Lyrics:
Were the stones the workmen found
All this time
The river flowed
In the falling light
Of a northern sun
If I had my way
I'd take a boat from
don't want to break her heart,
Like a sword with a double edge blade,
It's gonna cut deep either way,
This little town that big old world,
Chase
"Well, the doctor comes 'round here with his face all bright
And he says, "In a little while you'll be all right"
All he gives is a humbug pill,
A gangster came to see by boy
When I was working nights to pay one more bill
He promised the kid a sweeter life
Said, "Gotta understand it's dog
Little did he know that, waitin' in the closet
No matter what you call that, playboy sure got done
'Cause they know where you live and they've seen
[ Don Rich]
At first mom and papa called their little boy Ned
They raised him on the banks of the river bed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree
a perfect world go by
We're all looking for love and meaning in our lives
We follow the roads that lead us
To drugs or Jesus
My whole life, I've tried
affection
'Cause the big boys like you and to you I'm an infection
So if you don't want me around
I think I'll run along and drown
You can't want this bum in
In the town of Louisville they got a man they call Big Bad Bill
I wants to tell ya, he sure was tough tough, and he certainly did
strut his stuff
your life just to cover it up now
Born in the USA
I was born in the USA
I was born in the USA
Born in the USA now
Got in a little hometown jam
One, two, three, four!
Wake up and live, y'all
Wake up and live!
Wake up and live now!
Wake up and live!
Life is one big road with lots
To find a town where we can live
Even in the half light
We can see that something's gotta give
When we watched the markets crash
The promises we made
time to live my life
But don't think I'm just his little wife
Don't get it twisted, get it twisted
This my shit, bow down bitches
Bow down bitches,
too big for the room
You know from two stories up
A Zenith makes a big boom
It's hard to get around in a six foot town
When your ten feet tall
while I sleep
You can tell I'm a living legend
Not some ordinary creep
No way, I'm the boss
The Big Cheese
Yeah, I got this town on its knobby little
At first mom and papa called their little boy Ned
They raise him on the banks of the river bed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree a home for my
They killed my brother in a poker game
Damn this town, I'm leavin'
Daddy stayed drunk and he died insane
Damn this town, I'm leavin'
Mama had
halfway there
We're old school, small town sticking around
Just like folks used to, good ol' boys and girls
Just falling in love, living the life, yeah
To find a town where we can live
Even in the half light
We can see that something's gotta give
When we watched the markets crash
The promises we made
By standing in the road alone
Standing watching the fires burn
The northern sky it stinks with greed
You can smell it for miles around
Good old boys in
America to me
The place I work in
The workers at my side
The little town, a city
Where my people live and die
The howdy and the handshake
The air
Down in the little Mexican town of Nuevo
There lived a maiden lovely as a rose
Deep was the love of Lisa, the rose of Nuevo
For Johnny Fedavo
need a man like me in town
I pick cotton down on the Dixie line
Work hard all day tryin' to make a dime
But that's alright, that's OK by me
'Cause
At first mom and papa called their little boy Ned
They raise him on the banks of the river bed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree a home for my
