Billy Ray Cyrus Album

Joe works at the steel mill
Works damn near every day
Leaves for work when the sun comes up
Drops the kids at school along the way
(Kids at school along the way)

When the night is falling
He gets home and hugs his wife
He says how much he missed her
And that he loves her more than life, yeah

More than life

Joe may never be a rich man
No lawyer, or movie star
He may not own the finest jewelry
And he may not drive the nicest car
Joe has everything he dreamed of
All the treasures that he needs
No wonder Joe's always smiling
He only aims to please, yeah

Let me be your Joe
I just wanna love you
And watch our babies grow
I may not be no millionaire
But I want you to know
I wanna be your Joe

You are just a woman and I am just a man
Though I may not feel every need
I hope you understand

I wanna be your Joe
I wanna be your Joe
Let me be your Joe
I just wanna love you
And watch our babies grow
I may not be no millionaire
But I want you to know
I wanna be your Joe
Let me be your Joe

I just wanna love you
I just wanna be your man
I just wanna hold you
Love you with all that I am
I wanna be your Joe
Let me be your Joe

I wanna be your Joe

Bell bottoms were really cool
Cuttin' class an' skippin' school
I 'member packin' that ol' fishin' pole
Skinny-dippin' at a swimmin' hole
Back light, red lights an' strobe lights too,
Were all the rage for me an' you
Only one thing I miss more than that:
I want my mullett back

I want my mullet back
My ol' Camero, an' my eight-track
Fuzzy dice hangin' loose an' proud
ZZ Top, they're playin' loud
A simple time, that's what I miss
Your mini-skirt an' your sweet kiss
Things are changin' man, an' that's a fact
I want my mullet back

Back. Back
Back. Back
Back. Back

I want my mullet back
My ol' Camero, an' my eight-track
Fuzzy dice hangin' loose an' proud
Lynrd Skynrd, they're playin' loud
A simple time, that's what I miss
Your mini-skirt an' your sweet kiss
Things are changin' man, and that's a fact
I want my mullet back

I want my mullet back
My ol' Camero, an' my eight-track
Fuzzy dice hangin' loose an' proud
Bob Seger singin' an' I'm out in the crowd
A simple time, that's what I miss
Your mini-skirt an' your sweet kiss
Things are changin' man, and that's a fact
I want my mullet back

I want my mullet back
I want my mullet back
I want my mullet back
I want my mullet back
Ow!

Awww but something sure is missin
Somethings just aint the same

Now he thinks back on yesterday
All those victory lanes

Better wars just to steal the race
And to taste that sweet champagne

You either loved him or you hated him
Intimidation was to blame

Now Days each time they drop that flag
Somethings just aint the same

Somethings just aint the same
Ohhh they miss The Man Today

So they standin next to cheer
And Wish The Man Was here
Somethings Just aint the same

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

awww he starts up that old chevy truck
And he leaves the parking lot

Hes thinks of all he'd done today
and he thanks god for what hes got

His Youngest Son sittin by his side
Dale Jr's Still a Fan

He knows the future's lookin bright
But He Wont Forget The Man

Somethings just aint the same
Ohhh they miss The Man Today

So they standin next to cheer
And Wish The Man Was here
Somethings Just never change

So they standin next to cheer
and toast him with their beer
Somethings will never change
Nooo no noooo

(Softer Spoken)
Theres a Three Upon his ball cap
and a three upon his shirt
He Remembers how he ran this track
and all those old ones in the dirt

If I never see your smile again,
Or never woke to touch your skin.
The truth would be so plain to see,
If I couldn't love you, I wouldn't be me.

If the night couldn't kiss the morning sun,
Like a river that has no place to run.
God only knows where I might be,
If I couldn't love you I wouldn't be me.

If you hadn't of come into my life,
I'd be forever wondering why
I never found my destiny.
If I couldn't love you, I wouldn't be me.

And when the Master calls us home,
I hope and pray our hearts live on
And be as one eternity, Cause
If I couldn't love you, I wouldn't be me.

God only knows where I might be,
If I couldn't love you, I wouldn't be me.

If you hadn't of come into my life,
I'd be forever wondering why
I never found my destiny.
If I couldn't love you, I wouldn't me

I still don't understand how things got out of hand
One day you looked away, next thing I heard you say
Goodbye, oh, goodbye

What about love, what about faith
What about the kids and what they would think
What about tears, what about time
What about the day you said you were mine
Hey, what about us?

I know the past is past and though it hurts to ask
These teardrops in my eyes say all the reasons why
Oh, why, tell me why

And what about love, what about faith
What about the kids and what they would think
What about tears, what about time
What about the day you said you were mine
Hey, what about us?

What about us?

What about love, what about faith
What about the kids and what they would think
What about tears, what about time
What about the day you said you were mine
Hey, what about us?

What about us?
What about love?
What about tears?

Well I sure miss ole Waylon
And Paychecks paid his dues
Chet Adkins on that red guitar
And Carl Perkins Blue Suede Shoes
Well ya just don't hear ole Hank that much
Without Cash we all loose
Maybe that's why country music has the blues

Roy Acuff and miss Minnie Pearl
Is who this country needs
And all then cheatin' and drinkin' songs
That makes your poor heart bleed
Yea the Possum's done gone missin'
Before his time is through
Maybe that's why country music has the blues

If it makes you feel better
Blame me if you want to
But I think country music has the blues

Merle Haggard and all those Strangers
Ah they heard any more
And ole Buck and Conway Twitty
They used to pack that ole dance floor
And Loretta and Patsy and Tammy Wynette
I bet they ain't amused
And I bet they ain't surprised to hear
That Nashville has the blues

If it makes you feel better
Blame me if you want to
But I think country music has the blues

I was just a teenage boy on my way to school
Mama mad at me for me 'cause I turned on the news
Details still uncertain as I put on my shoes
Wasn't sure what happened but I knew I had the blues.

Cause that's the day the freebird fell
Oh, I remember it well
So many cried when Ronnie died
He never said farewell
What he'd say in a southern song
Stories told still here long
The day the freebird fell.

Pulled myself together and I went on my way
Missed the bus on purpose so I could walk that day
Tuesday's Gone and Simple Man Play on in my mind
Sweet Home Alabama, Curtis Loew and One More Time

'Cause that's the day the freebird fell
Oh, I remember it well
So many cried when Ronnie died
He never said farewell
What he'd say in a southern song
Stories told still here long
The day the freebird fell.

Freebird fell
Freebird fell, mmmm.

Many years have come and gone, a lot of things have changed
Father time has passed me by one thing stayed the same
When I'm feeling lonely, when I'm feeling blue
I crank up some of that good ol' honkey, Lord I think of you.

Back to the day the freebird fell
Oh, I remember it well
So many cried when Ronnie died
He never said farewell
What he'd say in a southern song
Stories told still here long
The day the freebird fell.

Freebird fell

Gimme three steps, you got that right
Oooo that smell
Simple man was comin' home
The day the freebird fell.

I was just a teenage boy on my way to school...

Cruisin' downtown in your Camaro,
REO Speedwagon on the stereo.
It's kind of catchy,
Kind of a virus,
Cutting your hair like Billy Ray Cyrus.
You're probably bummed,
You probably cried,
You're probably sad that the guy from Lynrd Skynrd died,
You're probably singing "oh, oh, oh",
All night long.
Chorus"
Feel the power of the PHANTOM MULLET,
Tremble and cower from the PHANTOM MULLET,
White metal burn of the PHANTOM MULLET,
Combed straight or permed it's THE PHANTOM MULLET,
And you, cutting it short on top,
I want that for me.
Growing it long in the back,
So savage and so free.
Drop into first you're taking it slow,
You're such a rock-star,
You could never know.
I wish I was singing, "oh, oh, oh",
All night long.

The rain keeps fallin' down
The world keeps on spinnin' 'round
The grass grows and the sky's still just as blue
Our address still has your name
But nothing out there feels the same
Lonely wins every time without you...

I still drink my coffee black
I still wear that same ole hat
That one you gave me back in 1992
But when I wear it I seldom smile
I take it off and think of you a while
Lonely wins every time what will I do...

Lonely wins every time...
Lonely wins every time...
Without you...

I still get your picture down
The one of you on that merry-go-round
What a day we had... just us two...
I guess it was at the county fair
I won you that big ole teddy bear
That's the first time we said.. I love you...

Lonely wins every time...
Lonely wins every time...
Without you...

I look at you... You look at me
Is it true... or make believe
Your eyes in mine... my ole friend
How've ya been

Yesterday... When you were here
We loved to play... We had no fear
Time... How it flies...
How've ya been

If only you knew oh how much I missed you
If only you knew oh how much I cared
Heaven only knows why you left me
Take my hand... How've ya been
Heaven only knows why you left me
Take my hand... How've ya been

They say love is blind
I know that still rings true
Cause I couldn't see it comin'
But when it landed I sure knew
Well it knocked me to my knees
It hit me like a train
And I never will forget ole what's her name

I gotta long term loss of shor term memory
And one thing in my life is for ever changed
I'm sure I fell in love
With this angel from above
And I never will forget ole what's her name
Oh what's her name???

Time just keeps on ticken
And I've tried to move on
And though I keep on searchin'
I'm pretty sure she's gone
I know I'll always miss her
And things will never be the same
And I never will forget ole what's her name

I gotta long term loss of shor term memory
And one thing in my life is for ever changed
I'm sure I fell in love
With this angel from above
And I never will forget ole what's her name
Oh what's her name???

Yeah you know
Time sure does fly by
It just goes on and on and on
One day you look up
Its all gone
Tomorrow's yesterday

Once there was this working man
Never standing still
Always with his nose to the ground stone
One day his little girl asked
Just as he walked past
She called out "are you leaving home?"

(Chorus)
Hey Daddy why you always gone away?
Hey Daddy, cant you stick around and play?
Can't you see I'm growing fast?
This time here will never last
Hey Daddy, think of me today

Funny how times seems to change
How they rearrange
So quick and yet so true
That little girl is a mama now
She grew up somehow
Left an old man feeling blue
he heard her say

Hey Daddy why you always gone away?
Hey Daddy can't you stick around and play?
Can't you see I"m growing fast?
This time here will never last
Hey Daddy, think of me today
Hey Daddy, think of me today

(Billy Ray)
Story of a heart in need
Playin' on my T.V. screen
Will I sit back and watch it fade?
There's gotta be a better way.

Love is more than what you feel
Love is action, love is real
Break your silence, turn the key
And be the change you wanna see.

So get ready, come on everybody
Are you ready to:

Chorus:
Stand, for what you believe in
Stand, for all that is right
Stand, when it's dark all around you
You can be that shining light.
Stand, when troubles come calling
Your gonna be alright
Stand, just reach deep inside you
And be that shining light.
Stand.

(Miley)
I feel the earth shake, raise my voice
I have my soul, I have a choice
I feel it burning, I want more
So what am I waiting for?

(Billy Ray)
So get ready, come on everybody
Are you ready to:

Chorus:
Stand, for what you believe in
Stand, for all that is right
Stand, when it's dark all around you
You can be that shining light.
Stand, when troubles come calling
Your gonna be alright
Stand, just reach deep inside you
And be that shining light.
Stand.

Chorus:
Stand, for what you believe in
Stand, for all that is right
Stand, when it's dark all around you
You can be that shining light.
Stand, when troubles come calling
Your gonna be alright
Stand, just reach deep inside you
And be that shining light.
Stand.

Chorus:
Stand, for what you believe in
Stand, for all that is right
Stand, when it's dark all around you
You can be that shining light.
Stand, when troubles come calling
Your gonna be alright
Stand, just reach deep inside you
And be that shining light.
Stand...

Left for work this mornin'
Without any warnin'
That little tiny gage said it's that time
So I started lookin'
But I just kept on lookin'
As I read the prices there upon those signs.

Soon I knew my luck was out
My tank was dry and just about
Put me on my feet and send me cryin'
So I pulled up to a pump
Feeling as dumb as a stump
Grabbed that nozzle and bent over one more time.

It's a pain in my gas
It's killin' me so fast
All my hard earned money just thrown away
Blame Bin Ladin or Sudan
Iraq or Iran
All I know is this a-hurtin' just won't pass
There seems to be a real pain in my gas.

So if you see me thumbin'
A-beggin' or a-bummin'
Ponder these three questions that I ask
Who's to blame for all my sorrow
Does relief lie in tomorrow
In the meantime could I borrow
A little cash.

'Cause there's a pain in my gas
It's killin' me so fast
All my hard earned money just thrown away
Blame bin Ladin or Sudan
Iraq or Iran
All I know is this a-hurtin' just won't pass
There seems to be a real pain in my gas
Help me doctor there's a deep pain in my gas
Mr. President there's a real pain in my gas...
