Great Song Lyrics

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee

greenest state in the land of the free

raised in the woods so he knew ev'ry tree

kilt him a b'ar when he was only three

Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!

In eighteen thirteen the Creeks uprose

addin' redskin arrows to the country's woes

Now, Injun fightin' is somethin' he knows,

so he shoulders his rifle an' off he goes

Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear!

Off through the woods he's a marchin' along

makin' up yarns an' a singin' a song

itchin' fer fightin' an' rightin' a wrong

he's ringy as a b'ar an' twict as strong

Davy, Davy Crockett, the buckskin buccaneer!

Andy Jackson is our gen'ral's name

his reg'lar soldiers we'll put to shame

Them redskin varmints us Volunteers'll tame

'cause we got the guns with the sure-fire aim

Davy, Davy Crockett, the champion of us all!~

Headed back to war from the ol' home place

but Red Stick was leadin' a merry chase

fightin' an' burnin' at a devil's pace

south to the swamps on the Florida Trace

Davy, Davy Crockett, trackin' the redskins down!

Fought single-handed through the Injun War

till the Creeks was whipped an' peace was in store

An' while he was handlin' this risky chore

made hisself a legend for evermore

Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!

He give his word an' he give his hand

that his Injun friends could keep their land

An' the rest of his life he took the stand

that justice was due every redskin band

Davy, Davy Crockett, holdin' his promise dear!

Home fer the winter with his family

happy as squirrels in the ol' gum tree

bein' the father he wanted to be

close to his boys as the pod an' the pea

Davy, Davy Crockett, holdin' his young'uns dear!

But the ice went out an' the warm winds came

an' the meltin' snow showed tracks of game

An' the flowers of Spring filled the woods with flame

an' all of a sudden life got too tame

Davy, Davy Crockett, headin' on West again!

Off through the woods we're ridin' along

makin' up yarns an' singin' a song

He's ringy as a b'ar an' twict as strong

an' knows he's right 'cause he ain' often wrong

Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear!

Lookin' fer a place where the air smells clean

where the trees is tall an' the grass is green

where the fish is fat in an untouched stream

an' the teemin' woods is a hunter's dream

Davy, Davy Crockett, lookin' fer Paradise!

Now he's lost his love an' his grief was gall

in his heart he wanted to leave it all

an' lose himself in the forests tall

but he answered instead his country's call

Davy, Davy Crockett, beginnin' his campaign!

Needin' his help they didn't vote blind

They put in Davy 'cause he was their kind

sent up to Nashville the best they could find

a fightin' spirit an' a thinkin' mind

Davy, Davy Crockett, choice of the whole frontier!

The votes were counted an' he won hands down

so they sent him off to Washin'ton town

with his best dress suit still his buckskins brown

a livin' legend of growin' renown

Davy, Davy Crockett, the Canebrake Congressman!

He went off to Congress an' served a spell

fixin' up the Govern'ments an' laws as well

took over Washin'ton so we heered tell

an' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell

Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear!

Him an' his jokes travelled all through the land

an' his speeches made him friends to beat the band

His politickin' was their favorite brand

an' everyone wanted to shake his hand

Davy, Davy Crockett, helpin' his legend grow!

He knew when he spoke he sounded the knell

of his hopes for White House an' fame as well

But he spoke out strong so hist'ry books tell

an' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell

Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear!

When he come home his politickin' done

the western march had just begun

So he packed his gear an' his trusty gun

an' lit out grinnin' to follow the sun

Davy, Davy Crockett, leadin' the pioneer!

He heard of Houston an' Austin so

to the Texas plains he jest had to go

Where freedom was fightin' another foe

an' they needed him at the Alamo

Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear!

His land is biggest an' his land is best

from grassy plains to the mountain crest

He's ahead of us all meetin' the test

followin' his legend into the West

Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!

Oh you can search far and wide

You can drink the whole ground dry

But you'll never find a beer so brown

As the one we drink in our home town...

You can keep your fancy ales

You can drink them by the flagon

But the only brew for the brave and true

Comes from the Green Dragon

Home is behind

The world ahead

and there are many paths to tread

Through shadow to the edge of night

until the stars are all alight

Mist and shadow

Cloud and shade

all shall fade

all shall fade

It was the first snow of the season

i can almost see you breathin

in the middle of that empty street

Sometimes i still see myself

in that lonesome bedroom

playin my guitar

and singing songs of hope

for a better future

life is

only

as good as the memories we make

and i'm taking back what belongs to me

polaroids of classrooms unattended

these relics of remembrance

are just like shipwrecks

only theyre gone faster

than the smell after it rains

last night while everyone was sleepin

i drove through my old neighborhood

and resurrected memories from ashes

we said that we would never fit in

we were really just like them

does rebellion ever make a difference

life is

only

as good as the memories we make

and im taking back what belongs to me

polaroids of classrooms unattended

these relics of remembrance

are just like shipwrecks

only theyre gone faster

than the smell after it rains

So long astoria

i found a map to buried treasure

and even if we come home empty handed

well still have our stories

of battle scars, pirate ships and wounded hearts,

broken bones, and all the best of friendships

and when this hourglass

has filtered out

its final grain of sand

i raise my glass to the memories we had

this is my wish

this is my wish

im takin back

im takin them all back

Yea Lies

Look at me now

Just sittin here by myself

And I think you found someone else

Now I'm gonna have to find

A way to put the bottle down

And why can’t you see

That I’m drowning in a pool of misery

I’m always afraid

That you’re gone

Away from me

I’m always afraid

That you’re lost in somebody

I’m always afraid

That you’re gone

Away from me

I’m always afraid

That you’re lost

So here I am

I don't wanna be by myself

And I think you’re fucking someone else

now im gonna have to find a way

To take the knife out of my back

And how could you leave me

Stranded in a closet full of bones

I’m always afraid

That you’re gone

Away from me

I’m always afraid

That you’re lost in somebody

I’m always afraid

That you’re gone

Away from me

I’m always afraid

That you’re lost

Maybe you could let me stay

Maybe just for one more day

You could help me stay the same

Maybe things won’t ever change

Maybe we could taste the rain

You could push me out the way

Now I sit here by myself

Think about somebody else

How could you let them take you away from me

There’s somebody else

There’s somebody else!

I’m always afraid

That you’re gone

Away from me

I’m always afraid

That you’re lost in somebody

I’m always afraid

That you’re gone

Away from me

I’m always afraid

That you’re...

I’m always afraid [x7]

Away From Me

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare

the shadow in the background of the morgue

the unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley

we can live like Jack and Sally if we want

where you can always find me

we'll have Halloween on Christmas

and in the night we'll wish this never ends

we'll wish this never ends

(I miss you, miss you)

(I miss you, miss you)

Where are you and I'm so sorry

I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight

I need somebody and always

this sick strange darkness

comes creeping on so haunting every time

and as I stared I counted

webs from all the spiders

catching things and eating their insides

like indecision to call you

and hear your voice of treason

will you come home and stop this pain tonight

stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me you're already

the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)

don't waste your time on me you're already

the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already

the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)

don't waste your time on me you're already

the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already

the voice inside my head (I miss you, miss you)

Life is a dream-that knows no shade.

Life is a dream-of pain and woe

A dream from which-we pray to wake

A dream from which-we wake and go

Who would sleep-when the new dawn waits?

Who would sleep-when the sweet winds blow?

A dream must end-when the new day comes.

This dream from which-we wake and go.
