Kiss Your Freedom Goodbye
(ed king, johnny van-zant)
I dont read the paper, I dont watch the news
Lifes good in this small town, population 62
Our bank aint been held-up since 1932
Our doors are always unlocked
But not for long Im tellin you
(chorus)
cause I know times are gonna change
I know life will never be the same
I see please tell me it aint so
Theyre all movin in surroundin me
No place left to go
My oh my you can kiss your freedom goodbye
Used to have a small town drugstore
Where old men liked to meet
That stores gone out of business
Theyre sellin drugs out in the streets
The new kids like to spray paint
Theyve got a lot to say
Sure do have a way with words
Taught me a few today
(chorus)
cause I know times are gonna change
I know life will never be the same
I see small town folks like me
Are gonna have to change the way we do things cause eventually
My oh my you can kiss your freedom goodbye
Kiss it goodbye
(repeat 1st chorus)
(repeat 2nd chorus)

Let er Rip
I can tell theres something you dont wanna tell me
Its killing you cause the words are hard to find
I know you want to break it to me gently
Well sweet baby say whats on your mind
Chorus:
Let er rip, let it fly
Come on baby, say it, do you think Im gonna cry
I aint about to bawl, and I aint gonna die
So if youre gonna say goodbye, dont take all day and night
Let er rip, let it fly
Why the drama, we dont have to drag out this situation
It wasnt you, it wasnt me, sometimes the chemistry dont ignite
There aint no rings, no mortgage, there aint any complications
Its just a hyphenated word, get it out, Im sure Ill be alright
Repeat chorus
It aint no big deal, it aint no great loss
You and I are on the same train of thought
So you dont have to tell me where to get off
Maybe I misunderstood you, if youre leaving, baby would you
Repeat chorus
So if youre gonna say goodbye, dont take all day and night
Let er rip, let it fly

Cant Take That Away
(johnny van zant, robert johnson, michael lunn)
What can they all be thinkin
Wanna take the cross off of the hill
Put away the pledge of allegience
Lord,just the thought gives me a chill
They can take God off our money but, in the end o aint it funny
How were all gonna see him on the judgement day
So sing it loud
(chorus)
One more time
Hear what you say
When you got the truth inside, now they cant take that away
One more time
cause it aint too late
Hold on to what you believe cause thay cant take that
They cant take that away
They want to change somethin somewhere for everybody
Right now a change aint what we need
Just like my fathers father before him
They held on with pride to everything they believed
They can take God off our money but, in the end o aint it funny
How were all gonna see him on the judgement day
(repeat chorus)
Theres a fire that burns forever
Come a day we aint gonna take no more

Going Back
J. spinks
Im just a fool - no disguise
I still get hurt - same old pride
But growing older - Ive realized
Theres not a place - in my life - tonight
(chorus)
I aint gonna leave this town no more
Im sorry for the times that I did before
Im going back to where my heart came from
I aint gonna leave this town again
Im sorry for the things I did but then
I didnt realize whre I belonged
Shakin the blues - every night
Been all alone - no surprise
Dont you forget me - Im so blind
Im coming back - one more time - tonight
(chorus)
If these streets were empty
With nothing to see
You could take me from this town
Oh but you wont take this town out of me
Too many years - cant forget
So many dreams - aint done yet
An all of these memories - still the same
Im going home - and Ill remain - unchanged

Hand Me Down
Someday theyll find your small town world on a big town avenue
Gonna make you like the way they talk when theyre talking to you
Gonna make you break out of the shell cause they tell you to
Gonna make you like the way they lie better than the truth
Theyll tell you everything you wanted someone else to say
Theyre gonna break your heart, yeah
[chorus]
From what Ive seen
Youre just a one more hand me down
Cause no ones tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now
Somebody ought to take you in
Try to make you love again
Try to make you like the way they feel
When theyre under your skin
Never once did think theyd lie when theyre holding you
You wonder why they havent called
When they said theyd call you
You start to wonder if youre ever gonna make it by
Youll start to think you were born blind
[chorus]
From what Ive seen
Youre just a one more hand me down
Cause no ones tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now
Im here for the hard times
The straight to your heart times
Whenever it aint easy
You can stand up against me
And maybe rely on me
And cry on me, yeah
Oh no, no, no
Some day theyll open up your world
Shake it down on a drawing board
Do their best to change you
They still cant erase you
[chorus]
From what Ive seen
Youre just a one more hand me down
Cause no ones tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now
Lay them down on me
Oh yeah
Youre just one more hand me down
And all those nots dont give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down...on me

Mama (Afraid To Say Goodbye)
(e. king, j.& d. van zant, gary rossington)
Shed wake us up early every mornin
Shed help us say our prayers every night
She was always there to help us through the hard times
We could count on her to make everything alright
I remember swingin on the front porch
Papa said theres somethin I need to say tonight
Mamas been sick for a long time
Lets pray to God she can make it through the night
(chorus)
Mama dont wanna say goodbye
She said wipe those tears from your eyes
Mama I dont wanna say goodbye
It was written in the heavens and the skies above
Son I gave you birth showed you all my love
I cant think of this life without you its hard to try
Mama Im afraid to say goodbye
Now kids Ive been hangin on a long time
I hate to leave this world before your grown
Remember everything that Ive taught you
Remember all the good times when Im gone
(repeat chorus)
She whispered in my ear before she passed away
Son its time to be a man aint nothin left to say
Jesus walked on water I know its true
When it comes time hell call you home
I hope your ready too

Outta Hell In My Dodge
(randall hall, johnny van-zant, ed king, robert johnson)
Five a.m. in the mornin, whiskey still runnin through my head
I could get out of bed and maybe Ill just have another cigarette
As long as I can remember seems all Ive ever done is work
The boss is a jerk and I aint payin the rent
Spent my whole life shovelin dirt
(chorus)
Im gonna get outta hell in my dodge
Cant take this anymore
Gonna go downtown pick up my girl
There aint nothin worth waitin for
Take the road less traveled
Spend my life behind the wheel
Gonna get outta hell in my dodge
Freedom made out of steel
Theres a knock on the door from the sheriff
Askin me where I was last night
Seems somebody lookin a lot like me
Had takin up with his wife
He said son if I ever catch him
Theres gonna be some hell to pay
Hell be gone for good if I see him again
cause I just might blow him away
(repeat chorus)
Whats a poor man supposed to do
Stuck in the middle and trapped by the blues
Baby, Im sick of these blues
(chorus)
Im gonna get outta hell in my dodge
Cant take this anymore
Gonna go downtown pick up my girl
There aint nothin worth waitin for
Well I dont care if Im wrong or right
Gotta split this town tonight
Gonna get outta hell in my dodge
Live my life behind the wheel
Im gonna get outta hell in my dodge
My freedom made out of steel

What It Takes
I wanna walk
To no particular destination
I wanna talk
When I got the inclination
I wanna move
When I got the locomotion
Im gonna do just what it takes
To keep this smile on my face
I wanna drive my car
Wherever theyre driving faster
I wanna sail the ship
As long as I can be the master
I wanna ride the rails
On my own roller coaster
Im gonna do just what it takes
To keep this smile on my face
(chorus)
I was born to be this way
Never save for a rainy day
I just like to make it my own way
I wanna be the first to say
Dont wanna work real hard
If it means that I aint livin? br> dont wanna go through life
If theres no room for gettin? br> dont wanna stand here long
If it just means Im a waiting
Im gonna do just what it takes
To keep this smile on my face
(repeat chorus)
Dont wanna change my ways
If there aint no good reason
Dont wanna change my mind
Without any rhyme or reason
Dont wanna be one way
I got to change like a season
Im gonna do what it takes
To keep this smile on my face
Im gonna do what it takes
To keep this smile on my face

Tv Movie
I woke up last night shaking from a dream
For in that dream I died
My wife rolled over and told me
That my life would be immortalized
Not in some major motion picture
Or great american novel, you see
No, theyre gonna make a tv movie out of me
Chorus:
Well now, its one two three you take the money
Yeah its as easy as a b c
Yeah theyre gonna make a tv movie out of me
Well they can change my name or they can leave it
They can change my story too
Or they can make me black or chinese
And do things that I never did do
Theyre gonna give my life a whole new ending
And put me in prime time first-run
And when its over, what I did there will be what I done
Now I dont want my name in a history book
Nobodys ever gonna see
No, theyre gonna make a tv movie out of me
(chorus)
Well Im a shoe-in for a sponsor
Goodyear blimp and radial wheels
Somebody had a meeting somewhere
Somehow somebody made a deal
Well I was one of them kinds of stories
That everybody liked to see
Yeah theyre gonna make a tv movie out of me
Now I dont want no inscription on my gravestone
No long soliloquy
No theyre gonna make a tv movie out of me

Goodbye Hollywood
Born and raised in the windy city
I moved west to kick start a dream
What I found was a town without pity
Thatll chew you up and swallow you clean
Im amazed at the life Im livin
Dont want to seem like Im rockin the boat
But it aint all about taking but giving
I feel something tugging at my coat
No one ever told me it would be like this
That thered be something called home thats too hard to miss
Chorus:
Im saying goodbye to the glamour
Back to the old neighborhood
All that I need is a place that I can breathe
Im saying goodbye to hollywood
Done my time in the hoodoo jungle
Tired of waking up in another mans dream
Ive got the ball and I aint gonna fumble
Gonna make a winner of this team
All that ever mattered were the goals I chased
Now, Im ready to run in the human race
Chorus:
Im saying goodbye to the glamour
Life never tasted so good
All that I need is a place that I can breathe
Im saying goodbye to hollywood
Me and the mrs. done made up our minds
Were gonna give our boys a little less sunshine
Call it runnin say what you like
Ive got my own definition of paradise
Id rather be knee deep in snow than knee deep in jive
I may be cold but my soul is alive

1000 Times Goodbye
Dave mustaine
The tides of change pulled us apart
I feel a familiar pain
It seems like years since weve loved
Or even liked and thats a lonely way to be
Drifting alone in a sea of agony
Your face I cant recognize
Dont make this hard on us
I will miss you if you just go away
I did no right you did no wrong
Nothing left but wasted days
I regret you leaving
But I will never take you back
Solo - pitrelli
You know what? its over
I just dont feel the same way as I used to
Weve been together forever, but its over
Goodbye 1000 times goodbye
The thought never crossed my mind
That this would be my last goodbye
Let me put pennies on your eyes
And kiss your lips one last goodbye
My love 1000 times goodbye
It seems nothing good is free
A good thing cost much more than the price
You were good but not that good
Dont kid yourself now its time to beak up
Drifting alone in a sea of agony
Your face I cant recognize
Dont make this hard on us
I will miss you if you just go away
I did no right you did no wrong
Nothing left but wasted days
I regret you leaving
But Ill never take you back
Solo - pitrelli
Dont call me anymore. its just not
I dont feel the same way about you
Its not as good as it used to be
Goodbye 1000 times goodbye
The thought never crossed my mind
That this would be my last goodbye
Let me put pennies on your eyes
And kiss your lips one last goodbye
My love 1000 times goodbye
Repeat chorus
Solo - mustaine
Ill always love you but just not like that
Like what?
I want to be honest with you I met someone else
You did what?
And I really, I really love him like I used to love you
Remember the time that I told you that
I was going out of town for business?
Well I went to see him
You know what? you suck!
Solo - mustaine
Goodbye 1000 times
Youll always have a special place
In my heart you know that
Its just I cant be with you anymore its over
Goodbye 1000 times
Things may not work out with him
Goodbye 1000 times
And if they dont
Goodbye 1000 times
Then Ill certainly call you
Goodbye 1000 times
You mean a lot to me
I still really want to be friends with you
I love you like youre my brother

Borrowed Time
Got the word, getting ready
Gonna get my pay from ? ? ? ?
Im in light, ? ? ? ?
When the action is hot, ? ? ? ?
No town, no city
Gonna be free from the jumping jack
Kiss of life, getting gritty
If the mule dont kick you know the mule dont ride
And I know, yes I know, well I know
Thats the way to go
And I know, and I know
And I know that Im gonna get it down the road
Chorus:
Cause Im living on a borrowed time
Do it your way, Ill do it mine
Living on a borrowed time
Dont need a shove, dont need a sign
Call me names, call me crazy
Dont try to stop me when I feel this way
Its a game, (whoopsy daisy? )
Here comes another girl to make my day
And I know, yes I know, well I know
Thats the way to go
And I know, yes I know
Im gonna get up when Im up on the road

Its Never Easy To Say Goodbye
Jimmy climbs on board that old yellow bus
It sure looks big in his little eyes
His mama waits as her tears kick up the dust
Its never easy to say goodbye

Has found her wings and its time to fly
Its all her dad can do to keep from breakin? down
Its never easy to say goodbye

It aint easy
To ever say goodbye
It aint easy
Lettin? go of the ones you love
But believe me
Begin by and by
If not here
Than somewhere up above
Ive had some friends that I lost along the way
Theyve been called on down the line
Though their time was short, I think about them every day
And it aint easy to say goodbye

Now the time has come to go our separate ways
And its all right if you want to cry
And though I know, well meet again someday
Its never easy to say goodbye

Theyre So Tough
Theyre so tough
They like to make us feel little
They like to meke us feel small
They like to put us down
till we feel no good at all
Then they tell us that were stupid
That we got no sense at all
Theyll take away the spark
Keep us in the dark
Make us feel we have no vision at all
Chorus:
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, I dont believe it has to be this way
Then they tell us to be patient
That our time will come
But ive stood outside their doors
And walk their floors
And I aint gonna do it again
Theyd like to make me their nigger
I say to hell with them
Im not getting down on my knees
And begging please
Can you throw me a crumb now and then
Chorus:
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way
I cant really speak to you
And I dont know about them
They must be out of their minds
Cant read between the lines
They can stick it where the sun dont shine

No, no, no, I dont believe it has to be this way

Dont make me cry, girl (cry, girl)

Used to have such fun
Used to have good times
But now those days are gone
Used to have it all
Used to get on fine
But things just went wrong
Used to be in love
Thought we had it made
But everything has changed
We just grew apart

Maybe we cant go on
But if love can take the changes

Saying things were fine
But were just fooling ourselves
Maybe we should
Talk it out right now
And put things on the line
Everyone in love
Goes through times like these
Its just part of the game
I remember
I used to call your name
Woh, things dont have to be this way
Love is the answer now
Maybe we could start again today

Do nothing till you hear from me
Leave a number where youre gonna be
These times are dangerous for you and me
Would I get a message through?
Shell be watching every move you make
Shell be waiting for that one mistake
Somebodys heart is gonna have to break
Before we are through
Chorus:
Because we cant live
From kiss to kiss
Making up for all weve missed
Hiding in the daylight shadows
Until its time to say goodbye
Wishing it would be all right
Living with a loneliness
From kiss to kiss
Dont ask me now what is right or wrong
cos Ive been wondering since you came along
We were weak and love was strong
Now theres nothing we can do
So Ill meet you at the same ole place
I know its worth it when I see your face
Someday well just disappear without a trace
Baby, thats the truth
I keep hoping well find a way
(kiss to kiss)
I keep wondering whos gonna pay
(kiss to kiss)
I keep waiting for judgement day
Some peoples lives
Just get in the way
And thats the truth

Nobodys Diary
If I wait for just a second more,
I know Ill forget what I came here for,
My head was so full of things to say,
But as I open my lips all my words slip away
And anyway,
I cant believe you want to turn the page,
And move your life onto another stage,
You can change the chapter you can change the book,
But the story remains the same if youd take a look.
(chorus)
For the times weve had I dont want to be - a page in your diary babe,
For the good, the bad I dont want to see - a page in your diary babe,
For the happy, the sad - I dont want to be another page in your diary.
Perhaps if I held you I could win again,
I could take your hands wed talk and maybe then -
That look in your eyes I always recognise,
Would tell me everything is gonna be fine,
Youre gonna be mine
For a long time...

Climb That Mountain High
(don schlitz/reba mcentire)

Ive had enough of this desert to last from now until
Im tired of living day-to-day and hand-to-mouth
This could be the day I finally find my way out
Chorus:
Im gonna climb that mountain high
Im gonna see whats on the other side
Im gonna kiss this town good-bye
Im gonna climb that mountain
How I arrived here, heaven only knows
Seems more like the kind of place the devil wouldve chose
To spend my life here, is more than I can do
I know somewhere down the road my dream will come true

What will I have to show
But if I make it over
Then everyone will know
Im gonna climb that mountain high
