Aaron Lewis Lyrics

The Party's Over lyrics - Aaron Lewis

Tried to close my eyes so I can make this big ol' world just disappear

The lining ain't so silver over here

That much is clear

I wish the pain and heartache that I feel inside would up and go away

Things would be so different today

Or so they've said

Well, I could be a pilot and I'd fly around for free

Well, I could run for President and get called out on TV

When I drink enough Jack Daniels, I play the fool for all to see

When the party's over, there ain't nothin' left but me

I wake up just as empty as the bottle that I drank the night before

My head feels just as heavy as the pour

Ah, just one more

I guess what I was thinkin' was somehow I could just drink you off my mind

I guess in this case ignorance is gone

Or I'm just blind

I just get so lonely with the passing of the time

This highway just gets longer, keepin' it between the lines

But through a glass of Tito's, man, this world's a sight to see

Oh, but when the party's over there ain't nothin' left but me

I just get so lonely with the passing of the time

This highway just gets longer, keepin' it between the lines

When I drank enough Jack Daniels, I play the fool for all to see

Yeah, but when the party's over, there ain't nothin' left but me

When the party's over there ain't no one left but me

Can't Take Back lyrics - Aaron Lewis

I'm the last cuss word that cuts like a razor

The first sip of sin from an old brown sack

A feel good band, and hate yourself later

I'm just another thing that you can't take back

Another lonesome sun is almost gone

And the shadows climb the wall

Up to that nail where a picture hung

But you don't care at all

'Cause I'm the last cuss word that cuts like a razor

The first sip of sin from an old brown sack

A feel good band, and hate yourself later

I'm just another thing that you can't take back

As I lay my head in this big ol' bed

I think of you and me

And if I lay in this bed I made

I don't get no sleep

You ain't comin' back to me

'Cause I'm the last cuss word that cuts like a razor

The first sip of sin from an old brown sack

A feel good band, and hate yourself later

I'm just another thing that you can't take back

I'm the wrong first time, the first puff of smoke

Give it a try when you should have said "No"

Just this once, it tears you in two

But don't do that, then you go ahead and do

I'm the last cuss word that cuts like a razor

The first sip of sin from an old brown sack

A feel good band, and hate yourself later

I'm just another thing that I can't take

'Cause I'm the last cuss word that cuts like a razor

The first sip of sin from an old brown sack

A feel good band, and hate yourself later

I'm just another thing that you can't take back

Reconsider lyrics - Aaron Lewis

Take another look around me

Still waitin' for my light to shine

But if you looked you haven't found me, baby

And I don't wanna waste your time

But if I try would you reconsider?

Would you reconsider comin' home?

And if I cried would you reconsider?

Would you reconsider comin' home?

Take a breath and try to hold it

Wish I could hold it long enough

Can't help but hate the way we've fallen, baby

And I was never good enough

And if I try would you reconsider?

Would you reconsider comin' home?

And if I cried would you reconsider?

Would you reconsider comin' home?

You know, I hate myself when I'm not with you

'Cause I don't know what I'm supposed to do

But I tried to take a step today

And I keep getting in my way

So I take another look around me

And if I tried would you reconsider?

Would you reconsider comin' home?

And if I cried would you reconsider?

Would you reconsider comin' home?

It Keeps On Workin' lyrics - Aaron Lewis

They used to sing about pickup trucks on my radio

Now those SOBS are in SUV's and ain't never left the road

But it keeps on workin'

Lord, Lord, Lord, it keeps on workin'

I was raised upon the outlaws

Just three chords and the truth

But someone traded steel guitar for a big lie and the loot

But it keeps on workin'

Lord, Lord, Lord, it keeps on workin'

I ain't never been that good at being things I'm not

I just sing what I know, even though that ain't a lot

Wrong or right, whether you like my music or you don't

I live and breathe my country to the bone

I don't just sing a song

There ain't no country music

Down on music row these days

Used to feel all down back home

Now it's watered down LA

But it keeps on workin'

Lord, Lord, Lord, it keeps on workin'

Just when I think it's over

Another one comes along

Fresh new face in her sister's jeans

Singing the same damn song

But it keeps on workin'

Tell me why, why, why does it keep on workin'?

'Cause I ain't never been that good at being things I'm not

I just sing what I know, even though that ain't a lot

Wrong or right, whether you like my music or you don't

I live and breathe my country to the bone

I don't just sing a song

Yeah, Waylon never just sang a song

Keith Whitley, he never just sang a song

Merle Hank and Johnny and Lefty, never just sang a song

They lived it, right or wrong

But they never just sang the song

But it keeps on workin'

Lord, Lord, Lord, it keeps on workin'

Yeah, it keeps on workin'

Lord, Lord, Lord, it keeps on workin'

State I'm In lyrics - Aaron Lewis

I lost my faith a long time ago

Puttin' miles on this old road

I lost my family and I lost my soul

800 miles and one more show

Still workin' these fingers to the bone

When the show is over I sit alone

Where the angels and devils are my only friends

I wake up in the morning and I do it again

I don't know what you've been told

All the whiskey in the world won't save my soul

I've done it all so where do I begin

To fix all the messes in the state I'm in

It's hard

Yeah it's hard

I feel like there's a better way

To make it through another day

So sad that life turned out like this

'Cause I still taste you on my lips

Well I don't know what you've been told

All the whiskey in the world won't save my soul

I've done it all so where do I begin

To fix all the messes in the state I'm in

It's hard

Mmh it's hard

Yeah it's hard

Mmh it's hard

God And Guns lyrics - Aaron Lewis

All the talkin' heads on TV, they sellin' their lies

Sayin' their way is better for livin' my life

And I'm fed up of them set up all high on that hill

They don't give a damn 'bout a common man, hell, they never will

So say what you want to 'bout the things I hold true

And the fabric that makes up this red, white, and blue

'Cause I'll fight for my country till the day that I'm done

I've still got my God and I've still got my gun

I was raised up to stand up for what I thought was right

A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye

And do unto others as you'd be done to

If you do me wrong, mister, got it comin' to you

So you can say what you want to 'bout the things I hold true

And the fabric that makes up this red, white, and blue

'Cause I'll fight for my country till the day that I'm done

And I've still got my God and I've still got my gun

And if you want me, come get me, I ain't hard to find

A .45 on my hip and the Lord on my side

So you can say what you want to 'bout the things I hold true

And the fabric that makes up this red, white, and blue

And I'll fight for my country till the day that I'm done

And I've still got my God and I've still got my gun

And I'll fight for my country till the day that I'm done

And I'll still have my God and I'll still have my gun

Love Me lyrics - Aaron Lewis

(live version)

Well it seems that I've come

To a fork in the road

With a knife and a breeze at my back

With no way to move forward

And really no way to turn back

And my nights are too long and too lonely

And my daytime still filled with this pain

With me stuck in the middle

Without the right words to explain

But we all fall down someday

But you try to love me

You try so hard to save me

You just wanna see me

Get through my day

So I try to love you

The way I'm supposed to

But all that I've been through

Still gets in my way

But you try to love me

Oh, you try to love me

Well, it seems this life just keeps rolling along

Like a freight train that's jumped from the tracks

With this weight I've been carrying a lifetime

Still breaking my back

And my nights are so long and so empty

And my days are still filled with this pain

With me stuck in the middle

Without the right words to explain

But we all fall down

We all fall down someday

But you try to love me

You try so hard to save me

You just wanna see me

Get through my day

So I try to love you

The way I'm supposed to

But all that I've been through

Just gets in my way

But you try to love me

Oh, you try to love me

You try to love me

Oh, you try to love me

If I Were The Devil lyrics - Aaron Lewis

If I were the devil, I'd find a way somehow

To make man think he created God and not the other way around.

And what you see on TV, will seem like the gospel truth,

And I'd make right look so wrong I'd make wrong look so cool

Yeah, anything to keep you out of Heaven

If I were the devil

If I were the devil, everyone would just see color.

And I'd take all religions and I'd turn them against each other

I'd sit back and I'd love it, watch you fuel the hate

Light fires on the evenin' news and let them fan my flames

Bring everybody down to my level

If I were the devil

I would keep on doin' what I'm doin'

But what I'm doin' sure is workin' now

And if you don't believe me, I could prove it

Hey, all you need to do is look around

Hey, I'd be thinkin' things just can't get better

If I were the devil

And I'd just keep on doin' what I'm doin'

'Cause what I'm doin' sure is workin' now

And if you don't believe me, I can prove it

Hey, all you need to do is look around

Hey, I'd be thinkin' things just can't get better

If I were the devil

If I were the devil, when all is said and done

I'd be the coward that I am and I'd tuck my tail and run

I'd hide out in my darkness I'm destined to regret

If I were the devil, hell I'd be scared to death

Burnt The Sawmill Down lyrics - Aaron Lewis

Dirt road, Georgia, childhood days

A sawmill way of life

Where I grew up to love a rich girl

Who could never be my wife

And the roses near their mansion

On a cool, Southern ground

She cut a memory into mine

But I had to leave that town

Dirt poor, backwoods, I was was raised

Now the lawman's comin' round

Mama said I raised a good boy

But he burnt the sawmill down

It's been years since I left Georgia

And I left there on the run

They say her daddy's still in a rage

Over what I done

But he shot at me for lovin' her

Thought he run me outta town

But I hid until the mornin' light

Then I burned his sawmill down

I still love that long-haired girl

There's a price tag on my head

Her daddy owns the county law

And if I go back there, I'm dead

So I just dream of Southern roses

And miss the love we found

Lord, I wish I'd never been born poor

Or burnt the sawmill down

It's been years since I left Georgia

And I left there on the run

They say her daddy's still in a rage

Over what I done

He shot at me for lovin' her

Thought he run me outta town

But I hid until the mornin' light

Then I burned his sawmill down

Dirt poor, backwoods, I was was raised

Now the lawman's comin' round

Mama said I raised a good boy

But he burnt the sawmill down

Mama said I raised a good boy

But he burnt the sawmill down

The Bottom lyrics - Aaron Lewis

Elevator, operator

Looks at me and smiles that weary smile

I'm sure my looks could easily deceive

The very wisest of them all

And he says,

"Are you goin' to the penthouse

Or the condo that lies just beyond

The chapel door?"

I smile back and softly tell him, "No,

I'm headed to the bottom"

I'm goin' all the way down

To the bottom

So turn the music up real high

And let the sweetest Bénédictine liqueur flow

No need to worry

About tomorrow, 'cause you're not there

I'm goin' all the way down

To the bottom

Rainy streets and wet memories

Have found a place inside to pass the time

And Pete serves up my whiskey cold

And I drink it, and pray the picture fades

Dressed in black, you turned your back

And broke a heart that loved and loved you so

Oh I loved you so

The bells rang on the day we died

And I headed straight to the bottom

I'm goin' all the way down

To the bottom

So turn the music up real high

And let the sweetest Bénédictine liqueur flow

There's no need to worry

About tomorrow, 'cause you're not there

I'm goin' all the way down

To the bottom

I'm goin' all the way down

All the way down

To the bottom

Sinner lyrics - Aaron Lewis (feat. Willie Nelson)

So I sit here, in my hole

I hope the lord can, come save my soul

'Cause I'm a sinner to my core

I ask forgiveness, and nothin' more

Darkness surrounds me, and I can't see

All of the demons, right here with me

'Cause I'm a sinner to my core

I ask forgiveness, and nothin' more

My eyes are open, now I can see

All of the damage, brought on by me

I'm a sinner to my core

I ask forgiveness, and nothin' more

'Cause I'm a sinner to my core

I ask forgiveness, and nothin' more

That Ain't Country lyrics - Aaron Lewis

What a sad state of affairs I'm in

Cause I'm trying to compete where I just don't fit in

Cause the country, if you call it that, from off the road

Ain't country just because I'm old enough to know that

That ain't country

That's a natural fact

It's full of tails of good times and happy endings

My life ain't like that

So I'll keep listening to the old songs that my Grandad used to play

Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away

The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today

So tell me, whatever happened to the country songs

Full of truth and consequences, all the things gone wrong

Someone came and changed it up, made it all a lie

I'd like to spit a little beach-nut right in that dude's eye

Cause that ain't country

That's a natural fact

It's full of tails of good times and happy endings

My life ain't like that

So I'll keep listening to the old songs that my Grandad used to play

Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away

The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today

Now listen here

We got Waylon singing songs bout a Ramblin' Man

And Junior's got a cold one in his hand

And the Possum's gettin drunk again imagine that

And Charlie Daniels playing fiddle underneath that hat

And John and June are goin' back and forth again

And David Allan Coe is singing 'bout his kin

And Haggard sings the songs that'll save your soul

And Willie sings the songs about the hearts he stole

Cause that shit's country

That's a natural fact

It's full of tails of hard times and complications

Ain't life like that?

So I'll keep listening to the old songs that my Grandad used to play

Full of pain and heartache and desperation and the ones that got away

The ones that speak to me, the way I feel today

The ones that speak to me

The way I feel today

Whiskey And You lyrics - Aaron Lewis

There's a bottle, on the dresser by your ring

And it's empty, so right now I don't feel a thing

But I'll be hurtin', when I wake up on the floor

But I'll be over it by noon

That's the difference between whiskey and you

Come tomorrow, I can walk in any store

It ain't a problem, they'll always sell me more

But your forgiveness, well that's something I can't buy

There ain't a thing that I can do

That's the difference between whiskey and you

One's a devil, and one keeps driving me insane

At times I wonder, if they ain't both the same

And one's a liar, that helps to hide me from my pain

And one's a long gone bitter truth

That's the difference between whiskey and you

I've got a problem, but it ain't like what you think

I drink because I'm lonesome, an' I'm lonesome 'cause I drink

But if I don't break down, and bring it on myself

It'll hit out of the blue

That's the difference between whiskey and you

One's a devil, and one keeps driving me insane

At times I wonder, if they ain't both the same

And one's a liar, that helps to hide me from my pain

And one's a long gone bitter truth

That's the difference, between whiskey and you

Oh, that's the difference, between whiskey and you

Northern Redneck lyrics - Aaron Lewis

We grow tobacco and we drive trucks

We kill whitetails and greenhead ducks

And drive our four wheelers down the main road

And bust out the sleds when it's cold

We got back roads an' four-wheel-drives

We got tailgates on a Friday night

And it's a half hour from my front door

To a Walmart or a grocery store

What you all don't understand

It ain't all about a southern man

'Cause we got outlaws, we got hicks

We got honkytonks out in these sticks

We love our whiskey and we love our homegrown

God damn it's so good to be home

We wear Carhart, we don't wear suits

We wear square toes and Chippewa boots

And we all know where we come from

And we'll be right here when it's done

What you all don't understand

It ain't all about the southern man

'Cause we got family livin' out in these woods

We got pride and a sense of what's good

And we all got dirt on our hands

It's a song for the workin' man

Get up early and we work third shift

Pay our taxes and protect our kids

And we all got dirt on our hands

'Cause there's rednecks north of the Mason-Dixon

There's rednecks north of the Mason-Dixon

'Cause I'm from the North son, you're from the South

Straight out the trailer, fresh off the plow

You got your Chevy parked next to my Ford

And the colors flyin' high at your door

I got a shotgun, fill it with shells

You got a Bible but I'll see you in hell

We ain't that different son, you and me

Tryin' to make it in the land of the free

What y'all don't understand

It ain't all about a southern man

'Cause we got family livin' out in these woods

We got pride and a sense of what's good

And we all got dirt on our hands

It's a song for the workin' man

Get up early and we work third shift

Pay our taxes and protect our kids

And we all got dirt on our hands

'Cause there's rednecks north of the Mason-Dixon

I'm a redneck north of the Mason-Dixon

Mama lyrics - Aaron Lewis

My mama always told me

"Son, you'd best go easy down that road"

And she said she was sorry

For all the times she couldn't save my soul

I shoulda listened to her words a little more

Before I packed up and I walked right out that door

Daddy always told me

"Son, you'd better love the best you can"

And "Don't look back and be sorry

These moments won't be comin' 'round again"

But I feel like I could conquer the whole world

When I look up and see those three little girls

But I get lost, I can't find my way

All my pieces glued together for the world to see

Mistakes I've made, consumed by some

Till there's nothing left of me when all is said and done

Now a preacher man once told me

"Son, I'm not so sure you can be saved"

He said, "Life is full of choices

And He sees all the bad ones that you've made"

And I said "Yeah, you're right, I'll probably go to Hell

But goddamn all the stories I can tell"

'Cause I'm so lost, I can't find my way

All my pieces glued together for the world to see

Mistakes I've made, consumed by some

Till there's nothing left of me when all is said and done

So my mama always told me

"Son, you'd best go easy down that road"

Sunday Every Saturday Night lyrics - Aaron Lewis

I've seen drunk girls singin' karaoke

I've seen old timers pray to their beer

And we all seem to have our sad stories to tell

That's how we all ended up here

Washin' away all our problems

Gettin' baptised in those neon lights

And the drunker I get, the more things I forget

And I just ain't got that kind of time

So that's why I like drinkin' whiskey

Because it fills up the cracks in my soul

And it helps me forget all the damage I've done

And all the time I've spent down in this hole

And for a moment I swear I hear Jesus

Sayin' "Son, it'll all be alright."

So I take one more shot of redemption, Lord

It's like Sunday every Saturday night

Now the gospel comes out of that jukebox

And an angel just walked through the door

And she pulled up a chair right beside me

She said, "You think misery's got room for one more?"

So that's why I like drinkin' whiskey

Because it fills up the cracks in my soul

And it helps me forget all the damage I've done

And all the time I've spent down in this hole

And for a moment I swear I hear Jesus

Sayin' "Son, it'll all be alright."

So I take one more shot of redemption, Lord

It's like Sunday every Saturday night

Now the bar stools are lined up like church pews

And the preacher just yelled out "Last call!"

And confession is held belly-up to the bar

Hell even the best angels fall

So that's why I like drinkin' whiskey

Because it fills up the cracks in my soul

And it helps me forget all the damage I've done

And all the time I've spent down in this hole

And for a moment I swear I hear Jesus

Saying "Son, it'll all be alright."

So I take one more shot of redemption, Lord

It's like Sunday every Saturday night

Lost And Lonely lyrics - Aaron Lewis

Well I've been shattered and broken, for most of my life

But I've done pretty good, with a job and a wife

Got a family that loves me, and a good piece of land

That I bought with hard work, that I earned with these hands

These things that I do

I did them for you

So just tell me you love me, and tell me you'll stay

And you'll watch over this house, while I go away

And just promise to be here, when I get back home

So we can start where we left off, all those years ago

Before my demons... they took control

Lost and lonely, out here on the road

Cause I've been careless and selfish, got no self respect

I'm an albatross hanging around my own neck

I'm a hard one to handle, and I've played the fool

And I'm so hard to love, cause I break all the rules

These things that I do

Cause I couldn't have you

So just tell me you love me, and tell me you'll stay

And you'll watch over this house, while I go away

And just promise to be here, when I get back home

So we can start where we left off, all those years ago

Before my demons... they took control

Lost and lonely, out here on the road

So just tell me you love me, and tell me you'll stay

And you'll watch over this house, while I go away

And just promise to be here, when I get back home

So we can start where we left off, all those years ago

Before my demons... they took control

Lost and lonely, out here on the road

Story Of My Life lyrics - Aaron Lewis

I'll watch it all go down in flames

Knowin' there's no one to blame but me

Another vice to kill the pain

Knowin' that the pain will set me free

So I sit here starin' at the sky, and wonder why

The hands of God still hold me, and help me through this life

A sinner in so many ways, I've made it through so many days

I struggle, still lookin' for a sign

A little purpose

The story of my life

I'm haunted by the words you said

Prayin' that there's any hope for me

This holy war inside my head

Is probably not the safest place to be

So I sit here starin' at the sky, and wonder why

The hands of God still hold me, and help me through this life

A sinner in so many ways, I've made it through so many days

I struggle, still lookin' for a sign

A little purpose

The story of my life

So as the darkness turns to day

The light it shows the depth of my disguise

My safety was naivety

Created by deception and with lies

So I sit here starin' at the sky, and wonder why

The hands of God still hold me, and help me through this life

I'm a sinner in so many ways, I've made it through so many days

I struggle, still lookin' for a sign

A little purpose

The story of my life

Stuck In These Shoes lyrics - Aaron Lewis

I'm stuck in these shoes

And I ain't a hero, or role model material

Well I'm just a man, that's tryin' to get by

And I'm stuck in these shoes

And they're made for walkin'

Let my songs do the talkin'

I'm just not really sure

How much further they'll go

'Cause sometimes I still feel like I'm losin'

And sometimes I still feel all alone

And sometimes I still feel I won't make it through this

On my own

'Cause I'm stuck in these shoes

I got nothin' to lose

I've played the fool, I broke all of the rules, and I have to choose

'Cause I'm stuck in these shoes

And I ain't a savior

And I ain't here to save ya

'Cause I'm not very good

At savin' myself

'Cause sometimes I still feel like I'm losin'

And sometimes I still feel all alone

And sometimes I still feel I won't make it through this

On my own

'Cause I'm stuck in these shoes

I got nothin' to lose

'Cause I play the fool, I break all the rules, and I need to choose

'Cause I'm stuck in these shoes

I Lost It All lyrics - Aaron Lewis

When I die I'll go to Heaven

Because I've spent my time in Hell

I've never claimed to know the answers

But I've faked it pretty well

And I've walked straight through the valley

Full of shadows and of death

And I've learned a lot of lessons

But they haven't killed me yet

I lost it all, I tried to make it through my pain

I lost it all, and it'll never be the same

And right now the only thing that's left, is sadness and the shame

I lost it all, and it'll never be the same

I lost it all

Now I've heard so many stories

Full of sadness and regret

And I've learned a lot of answers

To the things I didn't get

And I lost it all, I tried to make it through my pain

I lost it all, and it'll never be the same

And right now the only thing that's left, is sadness and the shame

I lost it all, and it'll never be the same

I lost it all

Now somewhere in the darkness

There shined a little light

A chance for me to be forgiven

But I couldn't get it right

I lost it all, I tried to make it through my pain

I lost it all, and it'll never be the same

'Cause right now the only thing that's left, is sadness and the shame

I lost it all, and it'll never be the same

'Cause I lost it all

I lost it all

So when I die I'll go to Heaven

Because I've spent my time in Hell

I never claimed to know the answers

But I've faked it pretty well

Travelin' Soldier lyrics - Aaron Lewis

Two days past eighteen

He was waitin' for the bus in his army green

Sat down in a booth, in a cafe there

He gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair

He's a little shy so she give him a smile

And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while

And talkin' to me, I'm feelin' a little low

She said I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go

So they went down and they sat on the pier

He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care

I got no one, to send a letter to

Would you mind if I sent one back here to you

I cried

Never gonna hold the hand of another guy

Too young, for him they told her

Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier

Our love will never end

Waitin' for the soldier to come back again

Never more to be alone

When the letter said, a soldier's comin' home

So the letters came from an army camp

In California then Afghanistan

And he told her of his heart, it might be love

And all of the things that he was so scared of

He said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here

I think of that day sittin' down at the pier

And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile

Don't worry but I won't be able to write for a while

I cried

Never gonna hold the hand of another guy

Too young, for him they told her

Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier

Our love will never end

Waitin' for the soldier to come back again

Never more to be alone

When the letter said, a soldier's comin' home

One Friday night at a football game

The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang

A man said "Folks, would you bow your head

To a list of local soldiers dead"

Cryin' all alone under the stands

Was a piccolo player in the marchin' band

And one name read, and nobody really cared

But the pretty little girl, with a bow in her hair

I cried

Never gonna hold the hand of another guy

Too young, for him they told her

Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier

Our love will never end

Waitin' for the soldier to come back again

Never more to be alone

When the letter said, a soldier's comin'...

I cried

Never gonna hold the hand of another guy

Too young, for him they told her

Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier

Our love will never end

Waitin' for the soldier to come back again

Never more to be alone

When the letter said, a soldier's comin' home

75 lyrics - Aaron Lewis

I'm starting to hate

All these cigarettes and this loneliness

And I'm starting to fade

Like the lines on route 143

Sometimes I feel like I might wanna get off this ride

As my bedroom rolls down this long highway at 75

And this highway ain't no place for home-loving drifters like me

All these hotels and bars

Rides in stretched cars

Ain't for me

I'm tired of missing

The moments I'll never get back

And I'm tired of missing

The smiles on my little girl's face

Sometimes I feel like I might wanna get off this ride

As my bedroom rolls down this long highway at 75

And this highway ain't no place for home-loving drifters like me

All these hotels and bars

Rides in stretched cars

Ain't for me

And this highway ain't no place for home-loving drifters like me

All these hotels and bars

Rides in stretched cars

Ain't for me

So, sometimes I feel like I might wanna get off this ride

As my bedroom rolls down this long highway at 75

The Road lyrics - Aaron Lewis

There's a thousand miles and eighteen hours

I got to double drive down southbound 35

I got the hammer down, Detroit made

525 pushin' my ass right down that line

And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel

Just tells me that I'm back out on the road

I got a full grown creepin' up on my tail

And I won't make bail in this small time jail, no, not 'round here

I got the bird dog on, radio cranked

Gear jammin', lane changin' son of a bitch, you bet ya, son

And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel

Just tells me that I'm back out on the road

Just left the jail with a hand full of pills

And I won't quit till I hit the coop in Abilene

I'm almost there there's just a few more miles

I'll make the drop and I'll turn and burn, I'm out o' here

And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel

Just tells me that I'm back out on the road

And that smell of burnin' diesel fuel

Just tells me that I'm back out on the road

Endless Summer lyrics - Aaron Lewis

In the mornin' on a Saturday, I got my girls and we're skippin' town

In my '67 442 got the rag top down

Aldean's on the radio, ain't it funny how they sing along

Makes you smile just a little bit because it's not a Miley Cyrus song

These are the moments we can share

Come on let me take you there

Loadin' up and livin' right

Fast cars on a summer night

Breeze is warm and the moon is bright

This endless summer

Boogie boards and diggin' holes

Sand castles and the fishin' poles

What a way to save my soul

This endless summer

Now we're at our little getaway, Zoe go and grab the fishin' poles

I can't think of any better way for us to cleanse our souls

Fresh striper on the grill tonight, cherrystones straight out the shell

Just another day in paradise, another story I can tell

These are the moments we can share

Come on let me take you there

Loadin' up and livin' right

Fast cars on a summer night

Breeze is warm and the moon is bright

This endless summer

Boogie boards and diggin' holes

Sand castles and the fishin' poles

What a way to save our souls

This endless summer

Monday mornin' and it's gettin' late

There's no traffic at the tollbooth line

Aldean's on the radio

And my three girls know every line

And these are the moments we can share

Come on let me take you there

Loadin' up and livin' right

Fast cars on a summer night

Breeze is warm and the music's right

This endless summer

Boogie boards and diggin' holes

Sand castles and fishin' poles

What a way to save our souls

This endless summer night

Red, White & Blue lyrics - Aaron Lewis

My grandmama worked on a factory floor

Sewing leather for minimum wage

While my granddaddy worked all the beer joints in town

Tryin' to forget the memories he made

Because when daddy was born in 1945

We'd been fightin' for what we believed

Along with five other brothers, who stood by his side

They were ready, they willing to bleed

Red, white and blue

Those colors mean something, those colors stay true

Like my family before me, I feel it too

The blood that's in my veins runs red, white and blue

My daddy grew up, on the wrong side of poor

Rubbin' nickels together for heat

Well, he and his sister had barely got by

With the clothes and the shoes on their feet

So he joined the service, when he was eighteen

Like his daddy and his uncles before

He was ready to die, for what he believed

To fight for, what's worth fightin' for

Red, white and blue

Those colors mean something, those colors stay true

Like my family before me, I feel it too

The blood that's in my veins runs red, white and blue

Well me and my sisters, got kids of our own

And my brother's coming up on sixteen

And my daddy taught us all, how to live off the land

And how to stand up for what we believe

Red, white and blue

Those colors mean something, those colors stay true

Like my family before me, I feel it too

The blood that's in my veins runs red, white and blue

Like my family before me, I feel it too

The blood that's in my veins runs red, white and blue

Lessons Learned lyrics - Aaron Lewis

I've walked a mile in the shoes of a broken man

I've fallen down a thousand times and got up again

There's times I've talked to God likes he's my only friend

There's times it seems the devil's tryin' to take me by the hand

'Cause in life, sometimes

You gotta slow it down a little bit

Take time, rewind

Appreciate the little things that life provides to you

I've borrowed pages from the life of Johnny Cash

I've tried to find the answer in a whiskey glass

I've done a lot of things back in my shady past

And I've sat on that old metal bed, just livin' way too fast

'Cause in life, you'll find

You gotta slow it down a little bit

Take time, rewind

Appreciate the little things that life provides to you

And these pictures runnin' through my head

As I sat there on that cold metal bed

And wondered

How I wound up here again

Because in life, you'll find

You gotta slow it down a little bit

Take time, rewind

Appreciate the little things that life provides to you

Forever lyrics - Aaron Lewis

Another cheap high rise hotel room

Another place, another show

Another meaningless destination

With nowhere to go

Another time to say "I love you"

Another time to say "goodnight"

Another time to hear a dial tone

'Cause no one wants to fight, why should we fight

'Cause I can see it in your eyes

Is the sparkle gone forever, don't say forever

And I can feel it when we touch

Is the fire out forever, don't say forever

Another time to miss a birthday

Another time to miss my flight

I've missed so much that I don't know what I have

And what I thought I might, what I might, 'cause

I can see it in your eyes

Is the sparkle gone forever, don't say forever

And I can feel it when we touch, is the fire out forever

Don't say forever

Now I'm lyin' beside you

A stranger in your arms

We drift apart together

And come back like a storm, like a storm

Another show up in Decatur

Another one in San Antone

Somewhere else in this equator

Takes me far away from home, I'm comin' home, cause

I can see it in your eyes

The sparkle shines forever, this is forever

And I can feel it when we touch

The fire burns forever, this is forever

Granddaddy's Gun lyrics - Aaron Lewis

It sits above the mantel, on a couple rusty nails

It ain't worth a lot of money, and it damn sure ain't for sale

The good Lord only knows all the stories it could tell

My granddaddy's gun

Well he bought it new out of the Sears-Roebuck catalog

And it shot a many shells over the back of an old bird dog

It backed a burglar down when grandma took the safety off

Granddaddy's gun

It's just an old double barrel twelve

The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell

It wouldn't mean what mean's to me, to no one

I can still hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder

A guns like a woman son, it's all how you hold her

Taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt

And one of these days I'll pass it on to my grandson

My granddaddy's gun

He handed it to me on the day I turned thirteen

With a half shot box of shells and a kit to keep it clean

I keep a picture in the case of that sweet old man and me

Granddaddy's gun

It's just an old double barrel twelve

The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell

It wouldn't mean what mean's to me, to no one

I can still hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder

A guns like a woman son, it's all how you hold her

Taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt

One of these days I'll pass it on to my grandson

My granddaddy's gun

There's a long beard hangin' on my livin' room wall

That I got with a box call

And, grandaddy's gun

And there's a shot up sign out there on 49

That me and Billy Joe shot up one night

With, granddaddy's gun

Well it sits above the mantel, on a couple rusty nails

It ain't worth a lot of money, and it damn sure ain't for sale

State Lines lyrics - Aaron Lewis

Well, I just left out of Corpus

And I'm headed into Nashville for the day

I left my mark on Music Row

Now back out on the road, more shows to play

I've worn the tires off this bus ten times

I've carried contraband across state lines

An' I've played concert halls and holes in walls

And places that a show just shouldn't be

And there's stadiums and late night shows

On every major network on TV

And I've worn the tires off this bus ten times

I've carried contraband across state lines

Well, I just left West Virginia

One more in Wabash and then I'm comin' home

I can take this guitar off my back

And hang up these ol' boots because I'm done

And I've worn the tires off this bus ten times

I've carried contraband across state lines

An' I've followed yellow lines till I can't see

I'll never know where this road's takin' me

Anywhere But Here lyrics - Aaron Lewis

This road is going nowhere

And these, these shoes are worn too thin

There's always should-haves where I'm going

There's always could-haves where I've been.

And all the things that I've said

And the road up ahead don't mean nothing don't mean nothing

And the things that I've done and the man I've become disappear

I wish I was anywhere but here.

There's always footsteps from behind me

Why don't they ever read the writing on the wall

And all the time I've spent rewinding

It might mean nothing, it might mean nothing at all

And all the things that I've said

And the road up ahead don't mean nothing don't mean nothing

And the things that I've done and the man I've become disappear

I wish I was anywhere but here.

The bed next to me is empty

Just like the, the shell I'm still trying to fill

The things put in life to tempt me

They won't ever, they might break my will

And all the things that I've said

And the road up ahead don't mean nothing don't mean nothing

And the things that I've done and the man I've become disappear

I wish I was anywhere but here. Wish I was anywhere but here.

Party In Hell lyrics - Aaron Lewis

I've been hard up, tore down, the things I've been through

And the angels won't take me away

And I've talked to Saint Peter, he won't let me pass

So it looks like I'm goin' today

So let's have a party and tell 'em I'm home

There'll be Waylon and Whitley as well

And the devil will be dealing, the cards as they lay

So let's have a party in hell

Washed up, worn out, and down on my knees

But the angels won't take me away

The bartender only serves brown liquor in hell

And that sure sounds like heaven to me

So let's have a party and tell 'em I'm home

There'll be Janice and Jimi as well

And Rick James will bring all the cocaine you want

So let's have a party in hell

So let's have a party and tell 'em we're home

They'll be No Show and Junior and Merle

And Jamie Johnson'll be drinking from a brown paper bag

So let's have a party in hell

The Story Never Ends lyrics - Aaron Lewis

Another two months on the road

Just two more miles I'll be home to what I know

Where things move a little slower

And people always wave goodbye and say hello

And the maples on this road they must be three hundred years old

Just imagine all the stories they could tell

Of the tractors and the cars

All comin' home from Liston's bar

And the country folk just out to raise some hell

To raise some hell

This is my home

This is where I belong

Where my daughters go to school

Where opinions are strong

Where my neighbors are my friends

And the story never ends

So I just hit the ground and keep on runnin'

All of yesterday has come and gone

And so you try to pick up all the pieces

Put it all back the way that it belongs

Well the next thing that you know

It's time to play another show

I'm leavin' out of here just after dawn

Ain't it good to know that no matter where you go

That this town has got your back when you are gone

When you are gone

And this is my home

This is where I belong

Where my daughters go to school

Where opinions are strong

And my amendment rights

They keep me safe at night

Where my neighbors are my friends

And the story never ends

This is my home

This is where I belong

Where my daughters go to school

Where opinions are strong

Where my amendment rights

Keep me safe at night

Where my neighbors are my friends

And the story never ends

Another two months on the road

Just two more miles I'll be home

To what I know

Vicious Circles lyrics - Aaron Lewis

If I could walk on water

Like Jesus did before

If I knew all the answers

To keep you comin' back, for more

If I could paint a picture

And then cut off my own ear

If I chose all the right colors

Would this just, disappear

Because, we run in vicious circles

Until we're we're dizzy with disdain

And there's there's miles and miles between us

And yet we still remain

If I could write a poem

And find the perfect words

And then put them all to music

Just so my voice gets heard

Because, we run in vicious circles

Until we're we're dizzy with disdain

And there's there's miles and miles between us

And yet we still remain

So if I could walk on water

Like Jesus did before

And if I knew all the answers

I'd keep you comin' back, for more

Because, we run in vicious circles

Until we're we're dizzy with disdain

And there's there's miles and miles between us

And yet we still remain

We run in vicious circles

Until we're we're dizzy with disdain

And there's miles and miles between us

And yet we still remain

Country Boy lyrics - Aaron Lewis (feat. Charlie Daniels, Chris Young & George Jones)

Now I grew up down an old dirt road, in a town you wouldn't know

My pops picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks, back in nineteen sixty-four

My grandfather was a drinker, back in the day he'd put 'em down

But a war is known to change a man, and the whiskey's known to change a man

But, that's not me

I rarely drink from the bottle, but I'll smoke a little weed

I still live in the sticks where you wouldn't go, in a town of twelve hundred off an old dirt road

And a country boy, is all I'll ever be

Now it's been twelve years since I sold my soul, to the devil in L.A

He said sign your name here on the dotted line, and your songs they all will play

He set up shop on Sunset, he put me up at the Marquee

He said, "You wanna sell a million records, boy? You better listen to me"

He said, "Change your style, whiten your smile

You could lose a couple pounds

If you want to live this life, you'd better lose that wife

Do you need your friends around?"

I said, "no that's not me"

'Cause the biggest things in life are your friends and family

And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts, and a couple extra pounds never really hurt

'Cause a country boy, is all I'll ever be

'Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive

You'll never catch me out the house without my nine or fourty-five

I've got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck, and my idea of heaven's chasin' white tail bucks

And as a country boy, I know I can survive

Now two flags fly above my land, and really sum up how I feel

One is the colors that fly high and proud, the red, the white, the blue

The other one's got a rattlesnake, with a simple statement made

"Don't tread on me" is what it says, and I'll take that to my grave

Because, this is me

I'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefs

And I've said it before, but I'll say it again, 'cause I've never needed government to hold my hand

And I've said it before, but I'll say it again, 'cause my family's always fought and died to save this land

And a country boy, is all I'll ever be

I love my country, I love my guns, I love my family, I love the way it is now

And anybody that tries to change it, has to come through me

That should be all of our attitudes, 'cause this is America, and a country boy is good enough for me, son

Tangled Up In You lyrics - Aaron Lewis (feat. Alexa Carter)

You're my world, the shelter from the rain

You're the pills, that take away my pain

You're the light, that helps me find my way

You're the words, when I have nothing to say

In this world where nothing else is true

Here I am still tangled up in you

I'm still tangled up in you

Still tangled up in you

You're the fire, that warms me when I'm cold

You're the hand I have to hold as I grow old

You're the shore, when I am lost at the sea

You're the only thing that I like about me

And in this world where nothing else is true

Here I am still tangled up in you

I'm still tangled up in you

How long has it been, since this storyline began

And I hope it never ends, and goes like this forever

In this world where nothing else is true

Here I am, still tangled up in you

Tangled up in you

(I'm still tangled up in you)

I'm still tangled up in you

(I'm still tangled up in you)

Massachusetts lyrics - Aaron Lewis

I sit here on the stairs and listen to

The night time as the daylight fades away

It's such a haunting and familiar tune

When I hear it in the distance I can say

That I'm home, in Massachusetts

Where my daughters and my wife they wait for me

All alone, but the truth is

It's where I always am, it's where I long to be

Because I'm home

The North Shore is where my father lives

I wear my Red Sox hat around the world with pride

But the Berkshires are where my heart is

And when I see them in the distance I could cry

Because I'm home, in Massachusetts

Where my daughters and my wife they wait for me

All alone, but the truth is

It's where I always am, it's where I long to be

Nyla started pre-school, and Indie just turned two

And Zoe's just the perfect mix of me and you

They keep getting older, and time keeps going by

To think about it makes your daddy wanna cry

So I just passed the sign that welcomes me to Worthington

Established long before this country came to be

A place that hasn't really changed with time

The way this country that I love, it used to be

Because I'm home, in Massachusetts

Where my daughters and my wife they wait for me

All alone, but the truth is

It's where I always am, it's where I long to be

Because I'm home, in Massachusetts

Where my hero teaches classes everyday

Where my friends, don't treat me different

It's where my family is, it's where I'll always stay

Because I'm home

Am I The Only One (Clean Version) lyrics - Aaron Lewis

Am I the only one here tonight

Shakin' my head and thinkin' somethin' ain't right?

Is it just me? Am I losin' my mind?

Am I standin' on the edge of the end of time?

Am I the only one-tell me I'm not-

Who thinks they're takin' all the good we got

And turnin' it bad? Hell, I'll be damned

I think I'm turnin' into my old man

Am I the only one willin' to bleed

Or take a bullet for bein' free

Screamin' "What the Hell!" at my TV

For tellin' me? Yeah you're tellin' me

That I'm the only one willin' to fight

For my love of the red and white

And the blue burnin' on the ground?

Another statue's comin' down in a town near you

Watchin' the threads of Old Glory come undone

Am I the only one not brainwashed

Makin' my way through the land of the lost

Who sees it as it is and worries 'bout his kids

As they try to undo all the things he did?

Am I the only one who can't take no more

Screamin' "If you don't like it there's the freakin' door! "?

This ain't the freedom we've been fightin' for

It was somethin' more, yeah, it was somethin' more

Am I the only one willin' to fight

For my love of the red and white

And the blue burnin' on the ground?

Another statue's comin' down in a town near you

Watchin' the threads of Old Glory come undone

I'm not the only one

I can't be the only one

Am I the only one who quits singin' along

Every time they play a Springsteen song?

Am I the only one sittin' here

Still holdin' on, holdin' back my tears

For the ones who paid with the lives they gave?

God bless the U.S.A.

I'm not the only one willin' to fight

For my love of the red and white

And the blue burnin' on the ground

Another statue comin' down in a town near you

Watchin' the threads of Old Glory come undone

I'm not the only one

I can't be the only one

Black lyrics - Aaron Lewis

(originally by Pearl Jam)

Shades of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay

Were laid spread out before me, as her body once did

All five horizons revolved around her soul

As the earth to the sun

Now the air I tasted and breathed

Has taken a turn

Oh... and all I taught her was everything

Oh... I know she gave me all that she wore

And now my bitter hands

Shake beneath the clouds

Of what was everything

Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black

Tattooed everything

I take a walk outside

I'm surrounded by some kids at play

I can feel their laughter

So why do I swear

Oh... and twisted thoughts that spin round my head

I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning

How quick the sun can, drop away

And now my bitter hands

Cradle broken glass

Of what was everything

All the pictures have all been washed in black

Tattooed everything

All the love gone bad

Turned my world to black

Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be... yeah

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star

In somebody else's sky, but why

Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine

Folded Flag lyrics - Aaron Lewis

When I'd seen you

You were shinin' like a diamond in that dress

We were young, in love and reckless

We were just two kids

When I went and signed my name

Now here I am

Just a few months later comin' home to you

I'm flyin' with my brothers yeah we fought real hard

We're all packed up and headed home

And if you're readin' this there'll come a time real soon

When family, friends and flowers fill the room

And two men with starch white gloves

Fold the colors 'til they touch

It's probably more than I deserve

But I'm proud to get this much

Sendin' all the love I ever had

Inside this folded flag

Now look at you

You're roundin' out but babe you wear it well

A little boy or girl it's still too soon to tell

Wish I could be there now to hold you both

And if you are readin' this you're probably 'bout to cry

Runnin' through your head the questions why

As two men with starch white gloves

Fold the colors 'til they touch

It's probably more than I deserve

But I'm proud to get this much

Sendin' all the love I ever had

Inside this folded flag

And it'll sit here on the mantle

For many years to come

And every time you pass it by

I hope you feel my love

Two men with starch white gloves

Fold the colors 'til they touch

It's probably more than I deserve

But I'm proud to get this much

I'm sendin' all the love I ever had

Inside this folded flag

Sendin' all the love I ever had

Inside this folded flag

No Little Girl lyrics - Aaron Lewis

(performed by J-CAT)

Last night I saw her face

It made me lose my place, it did

It made me wonder

How did I fumble into space

Can't eat a thing at all

My appetite is way to small, it is

Except for big brown bags

I really love that alcohol

No little girl,

That your kiss ain't what I'm missing

But your loving me,

Loving me, yeah

No little girl,

That your kiss is what I'm missing

And you're twisting me,

Twisting me yeah

No little girl

That your voice wakes me at night

Always pushing me away

Always trying to start a fight

Uh, break it down

The pain washes across me

The things that I thought we'd see, yeah

The pain washes across me

But now we're both strong and free, baby!

Last night we danced real close

That's when she feels the most, it is

Her pace is much to fast

How do I look inside my soul

No little girl

That your kiss ain't what I'm missing

But your loving me,

Loving me, yeah

No little girl

That your kiss is what I'm missing

And you're twisting me,

Twisting me, yeah

No little girl

That your voice wakes me at night

Always pushing me away

Always trying to start a fight

What Hurts The Most lyrics - Aaron Lewis

(originally by Rascal Flatts)

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that is not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away

And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder, getting up, getting dressed, living with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away

And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away

And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away

And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
