Oo, woke up crying With a break of dawning I looked out at the sky The air was still Yet all the leaves were falling Can you tell me why Well I just don't know the reason I don't know what to say It just seems a normal day And I've got to live my own life I just can't spare the time 'Cause you've got strange things on your mind Well, I just feel That ev'ry minute's wasted My life is unreal And anyway I guess I'm, I'm just not rated Leastwise, that's how I feel Well I just don't know the reason I don't know what to say It just seems a normal day And I've got to live my own life I just can't spare the time You've got strange things on your mind I eat a lot Sleep a lot Passing the time of day Maybe I'll find my way Who am I kidding Yes, it's just myself

I left my home in Georgia Took a dream and a dollar Went looking for that fortune and fame Well I found it up in Nashville With the guitars and the fiddles Started singing 'cross the U.S. of A Well I'd played my songs in Georgia Way down there in Florida Once or twice in New Orleans But the sounds I was making Didn't know that I'd be taking Them to places that's so far and strange But the people really dug it No matter where we strummed it I felt that it would be okay 'Cause I learned right away It ain't just a southern thang Now I've played up in Chicago And western Colorado And we kicked 'em dead in Santa Fe Sung in North and South Dakota And eastern Oklahoma And a TV-Show out in L.A. They got the hats and boots And them country roots No matter what state they claim Yeah the facts are plain It ain't just a southern thing, y'all I've seen cowgirls a plenty up in New York City Milwaukee and in Philly PA They got the four-wheel drives On that Minnesota ice Just like they have in Alabam-a They're dancing and they're moving To the lyrics and the music From Maui up to Bangor Maine Lord it may sound strange But it ain't just a southern thing Yeah I've played up in Chicago And western Colorado And we kicked 'em dead in Santa Fe Sung in North and South Dakota And eastern Oklahoma And a TV-Show out in L.A. They got the hats and boots And them country roots No matter what state they claim All the facts are plain It ain't just a southern thing I've played that country music On the land and the ocean But people can't say my name Yeah, the fact remains It ain't just a southern thing Oh I've played up in Chicago And western Colorado And we kicked 'em dead in Santa Fe Sung in North and South Dakota And eastern Oklahoma And a TV-Show out in L.A. Oh they got the hats and boots And country roots No matter what state they claim All the facts are plain It ain't just a southern thing Oh, it may sound strange But it ain't just a southern thing Yeah the fact remains It ain't just a southern thing, y'all

You said you'd be there for me In times of trouble, when I need you, when I'm down And likewise you need friendship It's from my side pure love but i see lately things have been changing You have goals to achieve But the roads you take are broad and heartless, The wounds you make you are not aware You throw stones Can't you see that I am human? I am breathing, but you don't give a damn Can't you feel my heart is beating? Can't you see the pain you're causing? Can't you feel my heart is beating? Can't you see the pain you're causing? Blood blood blood ... keeps rushing And now the world is asleep How will you ever wake her up when she keeps deep in her dreams, wishing! And yet so many die And still we think that it is all about us It's all about you? You sold your soul to the evil and the lust And the passion and the money ain't you? Innocent ones die People hunger for decades, Suffer under civilized damned robbers, modern slaveholders Can't you feel my heart is beating? Can't you see the pain you're causing? Can't you feel my heart is beating? Can't you see the pain you're causing? Blood blood blood ... keeps rushing Evaded, eliminated, erased, interrogated Our tradition, our love for our fellow countrymen, Our property, our resources, our pride Can you feel my heart beating? NO NO NO NO NO NO You don't, dont see, don't feel... Can't you feel my heart is beating? Can't you see the pain you're causing? Can't you feel my heart is beating? Can't you see the pain you're causing?

Just as I am, without one plea But that Thy blood was shed for me And that Thou bid'st me come to thee O Lamb of God, I come, I come Just as I am, though tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt Fightings and fears within without O Lamb of God, I come, I come Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind Sight, riches, healing of the mind Yea, all I need, in Thee to find O Lamb of God, I come, I come Just as I am, Thou wilt receive Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve Because Thy promise I believe O Lamb of God, I come, I come
