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

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

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

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

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

The story of my life

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
