There's an urgent crying There's an urgent crying, in my head And I am lost It envelopes as I lie It envelopes as I dream And I am lost There's an urgent crying There's an urgent crying, in my head And I am lost I can hear it in my sleep, I can feel it as you breathe And I am lost Oh am I There's an urgent siren There's an urgent siren in my speech And I am lost It envelopes as I lie It envelopes as I dream And I am lost I can hear it in my sleep, I can feel it as I breathe There's a burning in my chest, maybe this livings not for me I am calling out your name, don't dare say you can't hear me speak If I gave more than I have well I'd be ripping at the seams And I am lost Can't you hear me calling Can't you hear me calling Would you stop the siren call Can you help me stop the screams I am calling out your name Are you calling out for me Would you stop the siren call Can you help me stop the screams I am calling out your name Are you calling out for me Cause I am Would you stop the siren call Can you help me stop the screams I am calling out your name Are you calling out for me I am Cause I am Cause I am There's an urgent crying There's an urgent crying, in my head And I am lost There's an urgent crying There's an urgent crying, in my head And I am lost I feel so lost

Lying in my room quite late one night Something I could see made me check my sight Something very strange made me walk outside So I walked outside like this fool would Nothing to lose and I knew I should, ah Ever since she told me that I was no good It was no good, I knew it would be Only a shadow, only a shadow Only a shadow, but she looks like you Only a shadow, only a shadow Only a shadow, but she looks like you She looks like you It's the time of year when the flower dies It's the kind of night when the ghost will rise Searching for thе girl with the dancing eyes Who could stay all day but lеave next night Instinct should have told me it never worked out right Now I'm very nervous, I leave on my light But I walk outside, I walk outside, but it's Only a shadow, only a shadow Only a shadow, but she looks like you Only a shadow, only a shadow Only a shadow, but she looks like you Only a shadow, only a shadow Only a shadow, but she looks like you Only a shadow, only a shadow Only a shadow, but she looks like you She looks like you Listen to her voice going 'round my head Comes to me at night when I'm in my bed Could be going crazy, it's what they said And what they say is I'm no good Told me to leave, you really think I should Haunted by your face everywhere I look But I walk outside and I don't want to find that it's Only a shadow, only a shadow Only a shadow, but she looks like you Only a shadow, only a shadow Only a shadow, but she looks like you Only a shadow, only a shadow Only a shadow Shadow Shadow Only a shadow Only a shadow

He was raised on a tractor in overalls and boots Been to college and then law school since leaving his roots Came home in a Lexus, he left in a Ford Country ain't country no more. He told his daddy catch up with the times He said now a days people trade heifers online Dad ain't sealing deals with a handshake like before Country ain't country no more. No, country ain't country no more. The back forty was sold to make up for hard times Then sold by the half acre lot overnight The houses went up and the trees were cut down And there went the finest deer hunting around Lord, everyone's locking their doors 'Cause country ain't country no more. Now his dad sits in traffic looking 'round at the change Watching crews turn the county road into four lanes The old Sunday drive has turned into a chore Country ain't country no more. Lord, country ain't country no more. The back forty was sold to make up for hard times Then sold by the half acre lot overnight The houses went up and the trees were cut down And there went the finest deer hunting around Lord, everyone's locking their doors 'Cause country ain't country no more. There's no turning back And you just can't ignore That country ain't country no more. No, country ain't country no more... Country certainly isn't country anymore... Thanks to Kerry. VOTE Bush!

Have you ever picked guitar on your front porch In the morning as the sun was risin'? Or followed your dog down to the river And ran into an ole' baptizin'? Do you think to pull off on the side of the road When that big black hearse is passing? Have you ever helped someone in need Without them even asking? We do that in the country, Let me tell you 'bout country. Country can be in the middle of a city Country can be on a farm, Country ain't even a place on map, It's a place in your heart. Have you ever hitched a ride to Music City Just to see an Opry show? Would you drive across the country To listen to some country? Country can be in the middle of a city Country can be on a farm, Country ain't even a place on the map, It's a place in your heart. Have you ever been there at the courthouse square For the parade on the 'Fourth of July'? With a tear on your face and a lump in your throat As you watch ole' glory go by, Or sat thru a service where they played tabs For a soldier who never came home? Or looked in the sad brown eyes of his momma As she touched his name on that stone? He fought for his country And died for his country I love my country. Let me tell you 'bout. country.
