A Country boy can survive - Hank Williams Jr.(Lyrics)
The preacher man says it’s the end of time And the Mississippi River she’s a goin’ dry The interest is up and the Stock Markets down And you only get mugged If you go down town
I live back in the woods, you see A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me I got a shotgun rifle and a 4-wheel drive And a country boy can survive Country folks can survive
I can plow a field all day long I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too Ain’t too many things these ole boys can’t do We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine And a country boy can survive Country folks can survive
Because you can’t starve us out And you cant makes us run Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun And we say grace and we say Ma’am And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn
We came from the West Virginia coalmines And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot-line And a country boy can survive Country folks can survive
I had a good friend in New York City He never called me by my name, just hillbilly My grandpa taught me how to live off the land And his taught him to be a businessman He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights And I’d send him some homemade wine
But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife For 43 dollars my friend lost his life Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes And shoot him with my old 45 Cause a country boy can survive Country folks can survive
Cause you can’t starve us out and you can’t make us run Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun And we say grace and we say Ma’am And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn
We’re from North California and south Alabam And little towns all around this land And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot-line And a country boy can survive Country folks can survive
Waylon & Johnny Cash - There Ain't No Good Chain Gang(Lyrics)
Album: Johnny Cash - ''I Would Like to See You Again'' Track: #09
Bet it ain't raining back home Bet your sister's still on the phone Bet Momma's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken Wishing that I hadn't done wrong.
Yeah, Momma, don't you worry about it none though Everything's gonna be all right, Momma They're teaching us a lot of new things in here Momma Things like.
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi And there ain't no good chain gang.
Papa's reading yesterday's mail Wishing that the hay was all baled I bet he's a-wishing we could go fishing And here I am a-laying in jail.
Well, Papa, don't you worry about it none now Everything's gonna be all right, Papa They're teaching us a lesson a day we're learning pretty well too We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already Things like.
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi And there ain't no good chain gang.
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi And there ain't no good chain gang.
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi And there ain't no good chain gang...
If the [D] wife and I are fussin', brother that's our right 'Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight [D7] Why don't you [G7] mind your own business (Mind [D] your own business) 'Cause if you mind [A7] your business, then you won't be mindin' [D] mine.
Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring Why don't you mind your own business (Mind your own business) Well, if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.
I got a little gal that wears her hair up high, the boys all whistle when she walks by. why don't you mind your own buisness (Mind your own business) Well, if you mind your own business, you sure won't be minding mine.
If I want to honky tonk around 'til two or three Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me. Just mind your own business (Mind your own business) If you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine.
Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned I got all that I can do just to mind my own Why don't you mind your own business (Mind your own business) If you mind your own business, you'll stay busy all the time.
I walk the line - Johnny cash at san quentin (lyrics).
Mm-mm-mm-mm I keep a close watch on this heart of mine. I keep my eyes wide open all the time. I keep the ends out for the tie that binds. Because youre mine, I walk the line. Mm-mm-mm-mm I find it very, very easy to be true. I find myself alone when each day is through. Yes, Ill admit that Im a fool for you. Because youre mine, I walk the line. Mm-mm-mm-mm As sure as night is dark and day is light, I keep you on my mind both day and night. And happiness Ive known proves that its right. Because youre mine, I walk the line. Mm-mm-mm-mm Youve got a way to keep me on your side. You give me cause for love that I cant hide. For you, I know Id even try to turn the tide. Because youre mine, I walk the line. Mm-mm-mm-mm I keep a close watch on this heart of mine. I keep my eyes wide open all the time. I keep the ends out for the tie that binds. Because youre mine, I walk the line.
Whatever gets you through the night - Waylon Jennings(Waymore) singing it with his love, Jessi (Lyrics)
Whatever gets you through the night Whatever makes everything all right I'm not the kind to judge you See what you do is all right with me Whatever gets you through the night.
Well, some guys just don't care They say play all nights and sleep all day Then some work till the day they die Some get rich and some get by.
Some spend the lifetime having fun Some say they're gonna wait till Jesus comes Some say that girls are their downfall Some boys don't like girls at all Whatever gets you through the night.
Well, some like cars and fancy clothes Some live fast and some live slow Some spend their life searchin' for truth Some come to church in a three piece suit.
Well, I heard a good woman's all you need I heard some guys need two or three Some want to save the world I'm told Some just want to rock'n roll Whatever gets you through the night.
Whatever gets you through the night Whatever makes everything all right I'm not the kind to judge you See what you do is all right with me Whatever gets you through the night...
McCain Palin tradition - Hank Williams Jr.(lyrics)
The left wing liberal media have Always been a real close knit family But, most of the American People Don’t believe em anyway ya see Stop and think it over Before you make your decision If they smell something They’re gonna come down strong It’s a McCain - Palin tradition
Now this old Union’s got problems That is plain to see The Democrats bankrupted Fannie Mae N Freddie Mac Just like 1, 2, 3 The bankers didn’t want to make all those bad loans, But Bill Clinton said you got to Now they want a bail out, what I’m talking about Is a Democrat liberal who doo
CHORUS
John N Sarah tell ya Just what they think And they’re not gonna blink They don’t have terrorist friends To whom their careers are linked Yes, John is his own man And Sarah fixed Alaska’s broken condition They’re gonna go just fine We’re headed for better times It’s a McCain - Palin tradition
I am very proud of our country’s name But no society is perfect And we have had our stains If I’m down at the coffee shop and Somebody starts to give our flag friction We say please move on Cause we’re standing strong That’s an old John McCain tradition
CHORUS
John N Sarah tell ya Just what they think And they’re not gonna blink And they’re gonna fix this country Cause they’re just like you N ole Hank Yes John is a maverick And Sarah fixed Alaska’s broken condition They’re gonna go just fine We’re headed for better times It’s a McCain - Palin tradition
Some are bound to tell you I’m Preaching to the choir And that is very true And we are going even higher Like a mama bear in Idaho She’ll protect your family’s condition If you mess with her cubs She’s gonna take off the gloves It’s an American female tradition
CHORUS
They all want to know Sarah Why do you hunt John why do you fish How could she be so smart and savvy Such a ‘hey good-lookin” dish Yes John is his own man And Sarah fixed Alaska’s bad condition They’re going to get it right We’re going to see the light It’s a McCain - Palin tradition
Oh, I met this girl I swore was close to perfect. I could see the ring, the dress, and the whole nine yards. I had a country station on and she reached and turned it. Said she couldnt stand the sound of a steel guitar. We hit the town to catch an early movie. And ol' Kris Kristofferson played the leading role. I said "That's my man!" She said "Who's he?" I jumped up and said "Girl, we gotta go!"
She dont like to play my kinda music. She's never heard a Waylon Jennings song. She's never been a fan of Willie Nelson. So there aint no way in hell we'll get along.
She told me she thinks country musics hokey. She said "You can't dance to it, and all the songs are sad." I cocked my eyebrow and said "You must be jokin!" "Ain't no excuse for havin taste that bad." Then I asked her if she'd heard of Alan Jackson. And she said "Didn't he sing that song called 'Where Were You?'" I said "Ya, but girl, that man's a livin' legend." And she said "Really? I thought he was new."
She dont like tp play my kinda music. She's never heard of David Allan Coe. She can't get enough of Whitney Houston. And I'm thinkin "Lord, that's all i need to know."
So when the night was over i walked her to her door. And i bid that girl an overdue farewell. And without a good night kiss i jumped back in my truck. Turned on some Hank and cranked it loud as hell.
She don't like to play my kinda music. She don't know Sunday morning comin down. She can't see what's so cool about "he stopped lovin' her today". Or "angel flying to close to the ground". She told me that she sorta likes the Eagles. She couldn't name one hit by Johnny Cash.
No, she don't like to play my kinda music. So I had to tell that girl to kiss my [noise to cover up the word]!!!!

This ain't Dallas and this ain't Dynasty. This is a real-life two job working family. And I ain't J.R. You ain't Suellen We're just a man and a woman holding things together.
I work every day the sun comes up from eight until five. I don't have a new Mercedes car or a chauffer to drive. My wife ain't out shoppin' with a country club queen. Cause she's workin' in the morning until she picks up the kids at three.
And this ain't Dallas and this ain't Dynasty. This is a real-life two job working family. And I ain't J.R. You ain't Suellen We're just a man and a woman holding things together.
Now we all like to watch those shows and we all like to dream. You know J.R. is making deals and Alexis is making steam. Joan and Linda, Victoria and Morgan they're a sight to see. My ole lady said, "I know what you're thinkin'" I said "Now honey, don'tcha know all of that is on TV.
And this ain't Dallas, this ain't Dynasty. This is makin' a livin' down in Tennessee. And I ain't J.R. and you ain't Suellen. Nah We're just man and woman holding things together.
No this ain't Dallas and this ain't Dynasty. This is makin' a livin' down in Tennessee. I ain't J.R. and you ain't Suellen. Nah just man and woman holding this thing together.
And we're just a man and woman holding this thing together.
Thats how they do it in Dixie - Hank Williams Jr.( lyrics )
Cut-off jeans an' cowboy boots, Long blonde hair an' dark brown roots. Lord, pinch me: That's how they do it in Dixie.
Electric slidin' on a sawdust floor, Long-neck chaser for a, Shot of hard core whiskey: That's how they do it in Dixie.
Little red Geo, stickers on the window says "Sugar n' spice. Baby, crank the bass up, ride it till you shake up Those pink fur dice. Oh, ain't that nice.
Down to the river to go for a dip. Rollin' them Levis off of her hip. Goin' Big Kenny skinny: That's how they do it in Dixie. Splish-splash.
Instrumental Break.
Watermelon lip-gloss, kiss beneath the swamp moss, On a moonlit night. Bubble gum perfume, well placed tattoo, Above her hiney, high. (Oh my.)
Belly button danglin', a twenty minute tan. You know, I'll go on Jerry Springer if you hit on my man. That girl will throw a hissy. That's how they do it in Dixie.
Cut-off jeans an' cowboy boots, Long blonde hair an' dark brown roots. Lord, pinch me: That's how they do it in Dixie: Yeah, yeah now.
Y'all, that's how we do it in Dixie.
Whoo I love them girls man. In Dixie. That's how they do it in Dixie. That's right, class, that's how we do it in Dixie.
Y'all, that's how we do it in Dixie.
Bocephus for president. President of the honky-tonk. Aw, had some good rowdy friends on this one.
Dallas packed her suitcase And drove off in the brand new car I bought her She made leaving me look easy I wish she'd made it look a little harder I took her out of Texas When she was just a girl But old Tennessee and me Couldn't take Texas out of her
On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee If I could move Texas east Then she'd be here with me Then nothin' else would come between the two of us If Dallas was in Tennessee
By now she's leaving Memphis And everything we had behind her Lord I hope the gold band on her hand Will serve as a reminder That true love is a treasure That's very seldom found But you can't stay together if there's no common ground
Oh how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee If I could move Texas east Then she'd be here with me Then nothin' else would come between the two of us If Dallas was in Tennessee Oh if Dallas was in Tennessee
Dallas packed her suitcase And drove off in the brand new car I bought her
