The Road (2012)












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
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
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
