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
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
All the way down
To the bottom
