Everyday I find another way something more
To get me through this life life life
You don't believe in what you see
Tell me baby does it make you blind blind blind
That ain't the way it is

I need a witness (I need a witness)
When you talk to me (When you talk to me)
I need a witness (I need a witness)
Won't you set me free
I need a witness (I need a witness)
When you talk to me (When you talk to me)
I need a witness baby (I need a witness)
Now won't you set me free

All these people that travel along
now they travel along the road road road
Now you tell me how to plant my seed
Then you tell me baby it won't grow grow grow
Oh, that ain't the way it is

I need a witness (I need a witness)
When you talk to me (When you talk to me)
I need a witness (I need a witness)
Won't you set me free
I need a witness (I need a witness)
When you talk to me (When you talk to me)
Oh, I need a witness baby (I need a witness)
Now won't you set me free
Oh, set me free, child
C'mon

Listen to me, people
People die when we don't try we walk away
Don't you see there's a better way of life
People die when we don't try we walk away
Don't you see there's a better way people pray
People die when we don't try we walk away
Don't you see there's a better way of life
People die when we don't try we walk away

Yeah
I need a witness (I need a witness)
When you talk to me (When you talk to me)
I need a witness, baby (I need a witness)
Won't you set me free
Yeah, set me free!
I need a witness (I need a witness)
Now won't you talk to me (When you talk to me)
I need a witness baby (I need a witness)
Now won't you set me free
Yeah, set me free!

Said, Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Tell me what you do baby
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Tell me what you do child
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Tell me what you do baby
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
I need a witness, baby

I grew up on Merle Haggard, ZZ Top and CDB
And if that Freebird wasn't soarin
Y'all would have never heard of me
Turn up Bocephus on the radio
Marshall Tucker now can't you see

Chorus:
You can take me out the country
But you'll never take the country out of me

Can't go a day without Waylon Jennings
And the red haired starnger's on mind
Johnny Cash and Jimmy Rogers
JJ Cale and old John Prine
My Sweet Melissa keeps on callin'
Take a load off Annalee

I ain't never been to Heaven
But I hear it's just the same as Tennessee

(Solo)

Now my face might seem familiar
You see me smiling on tv
They might take me out to LA
But they'll never take sweet Dixieland from me
They might take me out the country
But they'll never take the country out of me
If you didn't know that I was country
Alabama's always home to me

I'm gonna give leaving a brand new meaning
Show you how it feels to be alone
I can't find the rhyme within her reason
Guess it's time for me to just move on.

Chorus
Cause I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone
Traveling down this lonely road
A friend to the wind and the sky's my home
Traveling down this road yet I'm all alone
But I'm gone

Another coffee smoke-filled Sunday morning
She's in the other room but not at home
I've tried everything to please that woman
The beauty's in the sparkle not the stone

Chorus
But I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone
Traveling down this lonely road
A friend to the wind and the sky's my home
Traveling down this road yet I'm all alone
But I'm gone

I don't worry about tomorrow
I find out a mile on down the road

Chorus
That I'm Gone
Traveling down this lonely road
Friend to the wind and the sky's my home
Traveling down this road yet I'm all alone
But I'm gone

I don't know how much I can take
Before I reach the point of breaking down again
Just like a candle to the wind
It only burns a short while then it's out again

Chorus:
You say it's only words
You say it's only words
But in my heart I know that it's time to go
In my heart I know, yeah

Do I ever cross your mind?
Love is blind they say I still can't find my way
Though I've lost myself at times
In my heart I know you're never too far away

(Chorus)

(Solo)

(Chorus)

Well you've been talkin', talkin' 'bout it
Now you got to leave it behind
You ain't got no cause for conversation
No you ain't gonna stand here in line
Keep a distance with your dirty habits
All these people just letting you by

Chorus:
Ain't got money, ain't got time
You're spreading me thin girl
Like a worn thin dime

No you cannot stand and deny
The groove is happenin', and the beat is flowin'
Breathin’ right here on time
Sure will miss you, baby as you're leavin'
Hear you whisper as you close the blinds

(Chorus)

(Solo)

Sure will miss you, baby as you're leavin'
Hear you whisper as you close the blinds

(Chorus)

There's a meeting across the river
Just past the smokescreen in your eyes
Everybody's waitin' to see you deliver
Now's the time to break the tie that binds
Come on down now, from your fences
Come on down to the other side

CHORUS:
Broken down in another man's cell
Who's gonna be there to pay your bail?
It's hard sometimes to know what is right
Everyday, just another hard time
You should know by now you gotta pay to ride
But that's alright, I finally see the light

Didn't think there'd be a sermon
Don't make no difference, by and by
I can't be bothered by your burden
It's just a matter of time before it dies

(CHORUS)

Just go on about your business
Break out the truth at the light of day
One more thing you should consider
Is how your lies gave you some damn good shade

(CHORUS)

Sometimes it's hard to know
If you're going or if you're gone
So you dodge from right to left
Never knowing which way is wrong, no
You're holding strong to all you know
It's slipping fast until you fall

You're like a sinner in a sin
Never losing or never win
Well, I'm a poet without a pen
I've always been and I'd do it again

Gonna paint the town tonight
I'll use colors green and amber
I'm like a painter without a brush
I have a picture that fails to capture
And it's the chaos I understand
It's the calmness in my rants of anger

Just like a sinner in a sin
No, the Loser will never win
Well, I'm a poet without a pen
I've always been and I'd do it again

One day I'm going to wake up
And I know that the sun is going to shine
Keeps on shining down
I know that the clouds they are gonna part
Yes and I know its' rays they will find me
Keeps on shining down

You might say that I'm beaten down
Just so you'll always know
There's not a grain that's worth reaping
If your seed can't grow, ah no

Like a sinner in a sin
Never losing or never win
A poet without a pen
I've always been and I'd do it again

Oh, I'm a sinner in a sin
Oh, Never losing or never win
Well, I'm a poet without a pen
I've always been
And I'd do it again

Oh well, I'm a poet without a pen
And I've always been

This train is comin' down the track and I hear it callin' my name
I got a dollar in my pocket and I'm hopin' that I can make it on okay
All the years of countin' on nothin' at least it's on my mind
If I can make it on this time then I'll take it on down the line

CHORUS:
Well now this train is comin' down my way
This train is gonna make it okay
This train is runnin' down full speed
This train is comin' down for me

At the station with my bottle and a Bible and I'm waitin' on a Northbound train
God's willin' and I'm hopeful that he's happy 'cause I know that I'm feelin' no pain
All the years of countin’ on nothin’ went by in a blink of an eye
Years of fear and blissful tears, you learn to crash before you fly

(CHORUS x2)

What a strange situation that I got myself into
I knew I should have listened when they said stay away from you
I made my decision, I didn't care about the consequence
The pain, the lies, you hurt my pride
I wonder where my money went

Chorus:
You do what you do just to get at me
If it makes you feel good go ahead and try
I'll take anything that you throw at me
It might hurt but I ain't gonna die (no, no, no)

Well you wouldn't know a good thing if it looked you in the face
If you'd pay attention instead of getting off into my space
You'd see a new way that wasn't there the day before
One more try, if not, goodbye
Go ahead and close the door

(Chorus)

(Solo)

(Chorus)

I got whiskey, women and time
I've been travelin' down those thin white lines
About ninety miles behind me now and it's gonna be a good ride
I can't wait to get back out on the road
It's the place that I love every time baby don't ya know

Chorus:
I love that whiskey, women and time
Travelin' thin white lines
Love whiskey, women and time
Travelin' thin white lines

Bout ninety miles outta Vegas gonna be a long trip
There've been many times I've stumbled along the way
There've been many times I slipped
I keep comin' up & fallin' down, everything here and in between
Haven't been asleep in so long I know that it feels like a dream this time

(Chorus)

(Solo)

Many times when you see me, you know I'm on the go
Headed to another town, it's time to do another show
Grab a friend if you want, come along, you can join me for the ride
Life should be a journey for your heart; it's in and out like the tide

I've got whiskey, women and time
I've keep travelin' down those thin white lines
‘Bout a million miles behind me now, feels like a billion miles
I can't wait to get back home and see my momma, my dad my brothers and sisters, all the people that I love
Baby don't you know, it's good to be back home again

(Chorus x2)

(Solo)
