To the man that waited on me at the Starbucks down on Main, I hope you understand
When I put on that t-shirt, the only thing I meant to say is I'm a Skynyrd fan
The red flag on my chest somehow is like the elephant in the corner of the south
And I just walked him right in the room
Just a proud rebel son with an 'ol can of worms
Lookin' like I got a lot to learn but from my point of view
I'm just a white man comin' to you from the southland
Tryin' to understand what it's like not to be
I'm proud of where I'm from but not everything we've done

Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-ho
Like the ferris wheel goes around and around
Well the trouble with up is there's always a down
First I'm holding your hand and we're on the boardwalk
There's heaven right here on these streets and these docks
But the sun keeps settin', the days go fast
And the sand on the beach is like an hourglass
I can just feel it all slipping away
Beat This Summer

I had a heart attack
(He had a heart attack)
While I was playing charades
Everybody yelled
"Heart attack!"
(Pledge of allegiance)
But it was too late

Remember when we got the news
Confirming our worst fears.
I said he wouldn't make it six months
And others gave him a year.
And sure enough, last Saturday
We paid our last respects.
He left us here, still in this life
And he's gone on to the next.
Death Of A Single Man

Harvey Bodine
Died at 11:09
And he left behind
A miserable wife.
And at 11:14
His heart came back on the screen.
Thanks to that defib machine,
He came back to life.
Oh but those five minutes were heaven.

A gun goes off in a far off city
A siren wails right here at home
Well sometimes life ain't all that pretty
When you're watching it all alone
You build a wall around your feelings
Just another heart afraid to break
And you don't wanna let me in cause really,
What difference can I make?
I Can't Change The World

She doesn't dare go in the place
With those bruises on her face
So she goes through the drive-thru
And keeps her sunglasses on
She didn't know when she married that man
She'd get to him like the back of his hand
But now she's had enough
And battle lines are drawn

So you ruffled some feathers, yeah, you've done it now
Turned the tables in the temple clean upside down
You're out on a ledge and one thing's for sure
When you've got 'em all wishin' you'd never been born
Congratulations, you are officially alive
It's confirmation you are officially alive
It's not the double kick of an ultrasound
Or a piece of paper on file downtown
Officially Alive

Well, Christina waits on tables at Clarabelle's Cafe
Now she's waitin' on a bench for Johnny
At the end of another hard day
Hey, hey, he just got paid for washin' all them cars
They ain't goin' to the movies and they ain't goin' to a bar
They gonna pick up the keg and I'm gonna pick up the ice
And we're gonna show you how the experts kill us a Friday night
We drive out in the country, set somethin' on fire
We set an ice-cold beer on a tractor tire

You were a pain girl, a thorn in my side
Drove me insane girl, a white-knuckle ride
So why do I go lookin' through old photographs
And chase you down the hallways of our checkered past
Hold on for dear life and keep the fire fed
I oughta let go but instead
It's like I'm pressing on a bruise
To see if it still hurts
Right now that's all I've got left of you
Pressing On A Bruise

Headlights on the ceiling as she pulls into the drive
She never says she's coming and she never says goodbye
She's gonna bring the sunshine and she's gonna bring the rain
It's like I'm standing at the station and I'm waiting on a runaway train
When I was a young'un, my momma used to pray
That I'd find me a Christian girl and settle down someday
But the devil's at the front door and she's calling out my name
It's like I'm standing at the station and I'm waiting on a runaway train
Runaway Train

When your wheelhouse is the land of cotton,
The first time you leave it can be strange, it can be shocking
Not everybody drives a truck, not everybody drinks sweet tea
Not everybody owns a gun, wears a ball cap boots and jeans
Not everybody goes to church or watches every nascar race
Not everybody knows the words to "Ring Of Fire" or "Amazing Grace"
Chorus:
Southern Comfort Zone

Now there are men who make history
There are men who change the world
And there are men like me
That simply find the right girl
In that very moment, it all became clear
What I'm meant to do, the reason I'm here
Now every night I thank the Lord I found ya
Every time I put my arms around ya

Those crazy Christians, I was gonna sleep in today
But the church bells woke me up and they're a half a mile away
Those crazy Christians, dressed up drivin' down my street
Get their weekly dose of guilt before they head to Applebee's
They pray before they eat and they pray before they snore
They pray before a football game and every time they score
Every untimely passing, every dear departed soul
Is just another good excuse to bake a casserole
Those Crazy Christians

After the breakup,
I really thought we'd make up.
Give her a little time, I'd be on her mind
And suddenly she'd wake up.
But today if you listen,
Softly off in the distance,
Somewhere across town, you can hear the sound
Of wedding bells ringing.
And there's bird seed on the concrete,
And she's waving goodbye
