Lyrics To All Songs On The Album: This Road I'm On
This Road I'm On
Jon Sizemore
Looking down the road wondering which way to go
There’s a cool breeze blowing that put’s a chill on my bones
Should I go left should I go right?
I just don’t know, no I ain’t alright
(Chorus)
This road I’m on is going nowhere fast
And I’m just tired of kicking my own ass
I’m thinking about all the things that I’ve done wrong
With the window rolled down and the radio on
This road I’m on
There’s nothing here, but trees and coal
The hills are too steep for a decent row
There’s a road coming in, they say it don’t go out
Get a dead end job, go in debt and get trapped
(Chorus)
This road I’m on is paved with stones
And it’s washed out and dusty and long
I think I’ll make a turn before it comes to a dead end
Man I’m gone, this road I’m on
Well I’ve had some good times, but they’ve come and gone
And I’ve been thinking ‘bout leaving for way too long
Man I’m gone, yeah I’m gone this time
Man I’m gone, yeah I’m gone
Strong As These Hands
Jon Sizemore
Every day I strain my back and wipe the sweat from my eyes
Yeah swinging a hammer ain’t no way to survive
I come home tired and dirty, I gotta plan I hope works out
But if it does or if it don’t I know without a doubt
(Chorus)
Well I know I ain’t perfect, not even close
And I sure ain’t rich or no Romeo
I’m just a simple kind of man
But my love for you
Is as strong as these hands
I don’t care if it rains or if it snows
I don’t mind if the wind blows on and on
I’ll stand out in the pouring rain or 100 degree heat
With a smile on my face knowing your still here with me
(Chorus)
Well I know I ain’t perfect, not even close
And I sure ain’t rich or no Romeo
I’m just a simple kind of man
But my love for you
Is as strong as these hands
Don't Turn Away
Jon Sizemore
He keeps all his dreams locked up inside
Waiting for that one chance to see them fly
He don’t know that what he’s looking for
Is reaching out for him on the other side of that door
(Chorus)
Don’t turn away, don’t turn away this time
Don’t let your memories kill you now
Cause their come a day
When everything, everything will come your way
And don’t lay your head down in shame
Don’t Turn Away, don’t turn away
Day’s just keep rolling on and on
You keep on waiting till she’s gone
Why don’t you open up your eye’s
And give life a chance before you die
(Chorus)
Don’t turn away, don’t turn away this time
Don’t let your memories kill you now
Cause their come a day
When everything, everything will come your way
And don’t lay your head down in shame
Don’t Turn Away, don’t turn away
She Believes
Jon Sizemore
She was lying there tangled up in her hair
Trying not to think about that day
She felt the warm breath against her skin
And lonely hand softy brush her face
He never said a word; she shed a tear when she heard
A silent goodbye as he walked away
And she believes, she believes, she believes in ghost
It started out so simple but it turned into a fight
She never new her heart could be so black
She said just go yeah, and I hope you know
I hope you never do come back
And she believes, she believes, she believes in ghost
And now she cries at night when she lays down with her pain
This burden she carries is too much for her to take
The slippery road it tore her world apart
And it takes too long die from a broken heart
And she believes, she believes, she believes in ghost
Moonlight & Moonshine
Jon Sizemore
Falling down again, I get back up and then
I think of other things, but man I love to drink
No I don’t waste my money on a shrink
(Chorus)
Cause when the music’s loud and the beer is cold
It’s gets in my blood and down in my soul
Come Friday night, I get right y’all
I think moonlight & moonshine can cure us all
You gotta get it all out, all the things that get you down
When you wonder what you doing here and your world it ain’t too clear
Just take a look at the stars through a mason jar
(Chorus)
When the music’s loud and the beer is cold
It’s gets in my blood and down in my soul
Come Friday night, I get right y’all
I think moonlight & moonshine can cure us all
Peace & Hard Times
Jon Sizemore
For every good there’s a bad, for every right there’s a wrong
Happiness comes with sad, for every silent heart theirs a song
There’s a burning fire inside me, but the rain puts it out
When darkness creeps up on you the sun rise without a doubt
(Chorus)
There’s a angel reaching for you
There’s a devil sharpening his claws
There be peace down in the valley
There be hard times for us all
Well everyone wants what they ain’t got they pay no mind to what they have
When you think things are tuff sometimes it’s not that bad
There’s a poor man begging for change, so he can eat again
There’s a rich man going insane cause he’s got too much to spend
(Chorus)
There’s a angel reaching for you
There’s a devil sharpening his claws
There be peace down in the valley
There be hard times for us all
Everything’s 50/50 you know
Take my chances as they come before they go
Sometimes it’s right, sometimes it’s not
We all got the same odds, so run with what you’ve got
(Chorus)
There’s a angel reaching for you
There’s a devil sharpening his claws
There be peace down in the valley
There be hard times for us all
Hyden Town
Jon Sizemore
Well I got a coon skin cap I traded my best rooster to
I was offered a hundred bucks, but I tell you what I’ll take two
I got a moonshine still in the shed out back
I got a big mouth woman she’s a Cadillac
I got a four wheel drive and hotrod Malibu
(Chorus)
I wont pull your leg but I might blow some smoke
I might be bent but I ain’t broke
I got everything a hillbilly ever needs
I fix my troubles on the riverbank
It’s where I take a dip and have a drink
Sometimes I don’t come home till I can’t see
So if you’re ever down around Hyden town
Just look me up and we’ll throw one down
You better pack your bags cause you might not want to leave
Well my old trucks blocked up without no wheels
I’m gonna fix it if I ever get me a record deal
But old Blue be mad if it got gone for five years now it’s been his home
I tried to sell’um both but I just got offered pills
(Chorus)
I wont pull your leg but I might blow some smoke
I might be bent but I ain’t broke
I got everything a hillbilly ever needs
I fix my troubles on the riverbank
It’s where I take a dip and have a drink
Sometimes I don’t come home till I can’t see
So if you’re ever down around Hyden town
Just look me up and we’ll throw one down
You better pack your bags cause you might not want to leave
Superman
Jon Sizemore
Well I get tired of floatin’ around in the clouds all day
When I get board I come down and move mountains out of my way
Stop the oceans still and all its waves
I fly through the eye of a hurricane
(Chorus)
Cause all I ever wanted was to be your man
And all I ever needed was to hold your hand
And oh it’s your love that makes me stronger than Superman
You make it bright as day on the darkest night
You’re the wind in my cap when I take flight
Everything’s gonna be alright
I ain’t afraid of no kryptonite
(Chorus)
Cause all I ever wanted was to be your man
And all I ever needed was to hold your hand
And oh it’s your love that makes me stronger than, Ohh…Yeah
(Chorus)
Cause all I ever wanted was to be your man
And all I ever needed was to hold your hand
And oh it’s your love that makes me stronger than Superman
Whiskey Life
Jon Sizemore
Well I can’t seem to put it down and keep it out of my hands
Sometimes I think it pours itself in me
My mind spins around in circles and I’m consumed with memories
My souls an open book for you to read
(Chorus)
And I remember all the things that day
When you finally gave up and walked away
I remember all the times I wasn’t there
And I recall all the times I didn’t care
But I can’t seem to put it down and keep it out of my hands
Sometimes I think it points itself at me
And I can’t find a reason not to pull the trigger down
Cause this whiskey life gonna put me in the ground
Yeah this whiskey life goin’ to put me in the ground
(Chorus)
And I remember all the times you’d say
I should give it up and live a different way
The mistakes I’ve made want pass me by
And I’ll stumble to my bed on the day that I die
Well I can’t seem to put it down and keep it out of my hands
Sometimes I think it pours itself in me
The End
Jon Sizemore
Gas is too damn high
And a lot of good men have gave their lives
For a cause that their not sure about
The deserts dry until the blood and oil runs out
Theirs children fighting for their lives
And sunbeams coming through the sky
The worlds about to burn it’s getting dry
And people want to get high
(Chorus)
I believe in the future and I believe in the past
I wanna believe things are getting better
But I can’t keep telling myself, telling myself that
(Chorus)
I believe in the future and I believe in the past
I wanna believe things are getting better
But I can’t keep telling myself, telling myself that
