Kid Rock Album

Fast, on a rough road riding
High, through the mountains climbing
twisting, turning further from my home.
Young, like a new moon rising
Fierce, through the rain and lightning
Wandering out into this great unknown.

And I don’t want know one to cry, but tell em’
If I don’t survive ………

Chorus
I was Born Free!
I was born free
I was born free, Born Free.

Free, like a river raging
Strong, if the wind I’m facing.
Chasing dreams and racing fathered time.
Deep like the grandest canyon,
Wild like an untamed stallion.
If you can’t see my heart you must be blind.

You can knock me down and watch me bleed
But you can’t keep no chains on me.

[Chorus]

And I’m not good at long goodbyes but look down
Deep into my eyes.

I was born free!

Heyy yayaaa yaayayaaa.
Ohhh hooo…

Calm facing danger
Lost, like an unknown stranger
Grateful for my time with no regrets.

Close to my destination
Tired, frail and aching
Waitin patiently for the sun to set.

And when its done believe that I will yell it from that mountain highhh!

[chorus]

And I will vow to the shining seas and celebrate God’s Grace on me.

[Chorus]

Oh, ohh ohh ohhwaahhoo..

There's a new day on the horizon
There's a rising in the air
Somewhere somebody's tryin' to tell me they care
So I'm a lift my head to a new day
Plant my feet on the ground
Look at life in a new way and what's goin' down
Cuz today's the day, I'm gonna take things slow
Try and change my ways, forgive and let all that go
Tell the ones I love, what they need to know
I'm gonna turn around, settle down
And slow my roll
Mixin' lonliness and whiskey
Heartache and cocaine
Livin' life like a gypsy, lost and ashamed
So I'm a look to the Lord as my witness
Rest my hat on a shelf
Trade these boots for forgiveness and find myself
Cuz today's the day, I'm gonna take things slow
Try to change my ways forgive and let all that go
Tell the ones I love, cuz they need to know
I'm gonna turn around, settle down
And I can't believe 16 has long since past
Ciz I'm tired of runnin', and never looking back
And I won't survive if I live this life this fast, no, no
And today's the day, I'm gonna take things slow
Change my ways, forgive and let all that go
Tell the ones I love, what they need to know
I'm gonna turn around, settle down
And slow my roll
Slow my roll, slow my roll

-Kid Rock-

Day by day my life gets colder
My eyes go thin as I get older
Pieces, pieces, bloody and bruised
I feel so helpless and confused

Cuz' I hear screamin on the left
Yellin on the right
I'm sitting in the middle tryna live my life

CHORUS:
Cuz' I can't stop the war
Shelter homeless, feed the poor
I can't walk on water
I can't save the sons and daughters
Well I can't change the world and make things fair
The least I could do (x3)
Is care

-Martina McBride-

(Ooohh ohh... ooooh... yeahh... uh huh)

I pray and pray for life salvation
Faithist, pride, and true, and tribulation, yeah
? Love is lost and lonely, checkin dues?
And with these open arms I'll wait for you
Cuz' I hear screamin on the left
Yellin on the right
Sittin in the middle tryna live my life

CHORUS:
Cuz' I can't stop the war
Shelter homeless, feed the poor
I can't walk on water
I can't save the sons and daughters
Well I can't change the world and make things fair
The least I could do (x3)
Is care

-T.P-

For the life of me I can't see how the devil keep enticing me
All you see is a felon
I know God can see what's right in me
How could I be labeled as a villain in the first place
When the worst case scenario is my birth place
I'm just tryna keep from fallin victim to the murder way
Take my life lesson condense into adolescence
That a god up in heaven sendin down blessings
And your future way brighter than your present
Quit stressin
Screamin on the left
Yellin on the right
Sittin in the middle tryna live my life

CHORUS(x2):
Cuz' I can't stop the war
Shelter homeless, feed the poor
I can't walk on water
I can't save the sons and daughters
Well I can't change the world and make things fair
The least I could do (x3)
Is care

We kept apart and connected by the same stretch of road
Neglected the truth and refused to grow old
It started a stream but then the levee fell
When the rainmaker had some extra seends to sell

I just wanna drink 'til I'm not thirsty
I just wanna sleep 'til I'm not tired
I just wanna drive 'til I run out of highway
Into the purple sky

Well, I just thought I'd call and see what's going on
Did the hills all flatten out since I've been gone?
Are the fields all painted up in red and blue?
Are you thinking of me the times I'm thinking of you?

I just wanna drink 'til I'm not thirsty
I just wanna sleep 'til I'm not tired
I just wanna drive 'til I run out of highway
Into the purple sky

But if I'm gonna live until I'm 50
I'm gonna need you by my side
Cuz I don't wanna dance without you with me
Into the purple sky

Livin' like a soulless pirate somewhere lost at sea
Wondering if I ever make it home, will you come back to me
Could we dream up a reason for a rendezvous?
I'm back in town and I got nothing to do
We could drive all day with the top let down
We could stay in tonight or we could wreck this town

I just wanna drink 'til I'm not thirsty
I just wanna sleep 'til I'm not tired
I just wanna drive 'til I run out of highway
Into the purple sky

Buut if I'm gonna live until I'm 50
I'm gonna need you by my side
Cuz I don't wanna dance without you with me
Into the purple sky

Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, huh, huh
Into the purple sky
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, huh, huh
Into the purple sky
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, huh, huh
Into the purple sky
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, huh, huh
Into the purple sky
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, huh, huh
Into the purple sky

Like a deer in the headlights, I stood frozen in my tracks
And the weight of the news, It nearly broke my back
It was late september, and I remember oh so well
I put a rose in the bible and placed it on my shelf

Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before

Back then when we were 17
Time was on our side
Holes in our jeans and a pocket full of dreams
The future was Friday night
And we would hangout down by the riverbend
Singing our favorite songs
Laughin and drinkin, smokin and smilin
Now those days are gone

Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I know for shore

Like a deer in the headlights, I stood frozen in my tracks
And the weight of you not here nearly broke my back
And the tears they fell like a monsoon
Underneath the cold fall moon
Somehow God put his hands on yur shoulders
Way too, way too soon

Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now the things I never knew before
Now when it rains, it pours
Wish I didnt know now
No I didnt know now
What I knew before

In the justle and grind, workin' 9 to 9
Losin' my mind, watchin' Father TIme
It's the same ole same, this ball and chain
With only one day to ease my pain
Cuz Monday's just a bitch
Tuesday's such a bother
Wednesday's like watchin' dead flowers grow
Thursday ain't for shit
Friday's getting hotter
But on Saturday night you know
We let it rock
And keep the drinks pourin'
We let it roll
Until the early morning
We're underpaid, but we still give tanks and praise
God bless Saturday
They tell me I'm livin' the American dream
Just workin' for the man
But 52 hours in a stamping plant
Sometimes I don't understand
Cuz Monday's just a bitch
Tuesday's such a bother
Wednesday's like watchin' dead flowers grow
Thursday ain't for shit
Friday's getting hotter
But on Saturday night you know
We let it rick
And keep the drinks pourin'
We let it roll
Until the early morning
We're underpaid, but we still give thanks and praise
God bless Saturday

You're no angel, I'm no saint, if we were
We wouldn't be in this place tonight

Lost and lonely, scared and confused
We both have a past, nothing to lose, tonight
Well it cuts like a knife these bad luck blues
We both got scars from the hell we been thru
Somebody's gotta win, somebody's gotta lose

So let's roll the dice, one more time
Take a chance on love again tonight
Risk it all, lay it on the line
Let the skeletons fight for life
Tonight, hold on tight, as we collide

Reconnected, feelin' no pain
Seeking shelter like a spark in the rain, tonight (ooh yeah)
Worn and weathered, scared to go home
We're here together, but still all alone, tonight (uh uh yeah)
And there's no need to lie, we've both been abused
The love and the pain, the cocaine and booze, now
Most people don't, but some people do

So let's roll the dice, one more time
Take a chance on love again tonight
Risk it all, lay it on the line
Let the skeletons fight for life
Tonight, hold on tight, as we collide

You know I spent a little time out in Malibu
I spent quite a bit down in Nashville too
Cuz I like the beach and loves to honky tonk
But the place that I call home
Is where I never have to feel alone
It's the place where I was raised and I was born

And the grass don't get much greener
And life can't get no sweeter
I got a funny cigarette and a two-dollar bottle of wine
And there's no need for new beginnings
More money or window trimmings
And if the good Lord's willin', I'm a keep on chillin', refillin' and flyin' high

Flyin' high
In an old lawn chair
Flyin' high
With an ice cold beer
Got nowhere to go, no place I'd rather be
Yeah the grass don't get much greener
And life can't get no sweeter
And if the good Lord's willin', I'm a keep on chillin', refillin' and flyin' high

You know I've traveled on yachts thru the south of France
Think I even got a pair of Versace pants
But all that makes me feel is like a fool
Cuz a pontoon boat, and a bottle of Beam
A couple good friends, and some cut off jeans
Has made us realize, you can't buy cool

And the grass don't get much greener
And life can't get no sweeter
I got a funny cigarette and a two-dollar bottle of wine
And there's no need for new beginnings
More money or window trimmings
And if the good Lord's willin', I'm a keep on chillin', refillin' and flyin' high

Flyin' high
In an old lawn chair
Flyin' high
And my family near
Nowhere to go no place I'd rather be
Yeah they mock me because I stand out
But I ain't never had to take a handout
And if the good Lord's willin', I'm a keep on chillin', refillin' and flyin' high

The lakes and pines they bleed of beauty and grace
And the rivers they run wild like an endless race
The forests soar so high then fall to the sea
As church bells ring and sing in harmony

I heard them say they're shuttin' Detroit down
But I won't leave cuz' this is my hometown

And it's times like these we can't replace
It's times like these we must embrace
And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees
It makes us who we are, in times like these

The concrete and steel stand strong against the wind
With the memories of what was and what has been
The sounds of sweet soul music and blue-collar blues
There were 17 colors for a Chevy all red white and blue

I heard them say that you can't save that town
But I won't leave, I will stand my ground

And it's times like these we can't replace
It's times like these we must embrace
And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees
It makes us who we are, in times like these

(Solo)

The ice and snow give way to a new spring bloom
In the wake that hope and faith they will be home soon
A new day dawns as the good Lord shines from above
Cuz in the rubble and rust there remains a whole lotta love

And I was here watchin' it all go down
And I'll still be, when it comes back around

And it's times like these we can't replace
It's times like these we must embrace
And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees
It makes us who we are, in times like these
It makes us who we are in times like these

Tears on the pillow
Is all you leave behind
And the only thing you know, this time
Is it's time to let go
So put the key under the mat
And don't you look back, just

Rock on, baby rock on
You ain't got nothing to lose, that ain't already gone
Cuz trapped in these blues, ain't where you belong
So baby rock on

Let the songs and the static
Fight for the dial
Inside an addict's last passin' mile
Well I know it ain't easy, but the wheel's in your hand
And who knows where you'll land, so just

Rock on, baby rock on
You ain't got nothing to lose, that ain't already gone
And may the good Lord God bless you, and help you along
Now baby rock on

(Solo)

And baby don't stop, just

Rock on, baby rock on
You ain't got nothing to lose, that ain't already gone
I know your heart's black and blue, but life don't last long
So baby rock on

Baby rock on

A moonshine shuffle in a crowded space
A hog-tied hustle with a driving bass
Some full throttle, half bottle, high saddle rhythm and blues
Come on now try it, this muddy water's feelin' fine
You can't deny it, footstompin' music and wine

It feels good to me (answer)
It feels good to me (answer)
It feels good to me (tell the truth)
It feels good to me (thru and thru)
It feels good to me now, I hope it feels good to you!

A smoke filled fever in a low-lit room
A pocket full of pain and a bag of doom
Some high cotton, fat bottom, bad rockin' hundred proof
Come on now try it, it's bound to make ya lose your mind
You can't deny it, footstompin' music and wine

Chorus

A big bonfire in an open field
Some good timin' womens like Riley Steele
Forget tomorrow
Tonight we gonna raise the roof
Come on now try it, cuz these are those good times
You can't deny it, footstompin' music and wine

Chorus

These non-stop, last-drop, hi-watt, rock bottom blues

I been livin' like a drunken sailor
Playin' in a rock 'n roll band
Far from a failure, I feel like a brand new man
Smoking like a fiend and schemin'
Dealin' with the upper hand
It's been so long since I felt this good, God damn

I'm finally standin' tall
I feel I just can't fall
Your love takes me to a higher place

For the first time, in a long time
I'm done payin' my dues
For the first time, in a long time
I don't feel used

Let's go out honky tonkin'
Dancing till the morning light
The time is now and this time I feel all right

I'm finally standin' tall
I feel I just can't fall
Your love takes me to a higher place

For the first time, in a long time
I don't stand accused
For the first time, in a long time
I feel brand new
Life's been kind, water tastes like wine
I feel so high like I'm on cloud nine
For the first time, in a long time
