I'LL NEVER PASS THIS WAY AGAIN

From the Civil War Soundtrack

I was born beside this river
'Bout a half mile from here
But I never seemed to notice
That the water ran this clear
And I've never seen that color green
Sparkle down the glen
Now I'll never pass this way again
I have wandered through that orchard
And played among her trees
But i never heard the secrets
That she whispers on the breeze
For the only sound on hallowed ground
Is the silence of the men
Who will never pass this way again
It never shone as beautiful
As how it looks today
We never miss the things we love
'Til they go away
But I have heard the bugler's call
And it's time for me to leave
Cause there comes a day when a man must say
I will die for what I believe
I have often thrown my pennies
In that old wishing well
And if I had a penny
I would wish me a spell
I would kneel and pray that here I'd stay
Forever Amen
But I'll never pass this way again
No I'll never pass this way again
No, I'll never pass this way again

PAINT IT BLACK

Stone Country

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted to black
Maybe then I'll fade away and have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

HMMMM HMMMMM HMMMMMM

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted
painted black
yeah!

ONE FOOT ON THE PEDAL

Nascar, Hotter than Asphalt

I came out kickin' on the day I was born
Had my daddy's disposition, had the bull by the horn
I was seventeen by the time I was ten
Throwing bottles at the roadside, caution to the wind
I've wrestled alligators and I've hunted rattlesnakes
Drove a 57' Chevy to the bottom of the lake
I bet a hundred dollars when I din't have a dime
The way that I'm living, it's a wonder I'm alive
Never gave a single thought to putting on the brakes
Got one foot on the pedal and one foot in the grave

Chorus
Talk on the street is I better slow down
Straighten up my act 'fore I won't be around
But I'll be in overdrive 'till judgement day
Got one foot on the pedal and one foot in the grave
Got one foot on the pedal and one foot in the grave

I've done alot of living and the lesson I have learned
Is keep the wheels rolling when you don't know where to turn
I'll go out kickin' on the day that I die
Then I'll have a second thought in the sweet by and by
Push it to the floor until they carry me away
One foot on the pedal and one foot in the grave

Repeat Chorus
