Like a set of black marks tattooed on a highway Like some cheap light beer or that Georgia clear That got us a little sideways Like a first love's tears and taillights, so long 17 Hand-me-down Ford, "For Sale" sign Along with her shotgun seat Gone but not forgotten All those memories, we got 'em These small towns change And glory fades like all our yesterdays Gone but not forgotten Gone but not forgotten And there's a little white cross on the side of the highway In memories of the ones we loved and lost that got to fly away Reminders of the good-die-youngs all over this old town Like all of the tears and beers we poured out on this hallowed ground Gone but not forgotten All those memories, we got 'em These small towns change And glory fades like all our yesterdays Gone but not forgotten And here's to all the some-gave-alls The ones that done come home The ones that do, those 22 That died fightin' the same damn war Gone but not forgotten All those memories, we got 'em Gone but not forgotten All those memories, we got 'em These small towns change And glory fades like all our yesterdays Gone but not forgotten Gone but not forgotten

I am not immortal I am just a man A power-craving tyrant Beyond the shadows in the sand Men have come to fear me Many bow and cry Known across the desert I am the one who will not die I have faced the demons of our most desperate moments I have been the one to defend our pride I have worn the banner of my abandoned brothers I will be the first one to give my life Lost not forgotten Reigning against the odds Feared and respected living among the Gods Leading the empire Spirit as black as coal Lost not forgotten King of the deathless soul An epic novel no one's read Pages torn and faded The greatest story never told Behold the kingdom I possess Land of wealth and beauty Where the streets are paved with gold Once fearless and brave A realm passed away The ghosts of yesterday Lost not forgotten Reigning against the odds Feared and respected living among the Gods Leading the empire Spirit as black as coal Lost not forgotten King of the deathless soul Lost not forgotten Reigning against the odds Feared and respected living among the Gods Leading the empire Brutal and heartless Vanishing further Into the darkness Lost not forgotten King of the deathless soul

I woke up this morning kissed my wife good bye I pray to god that I make it home safe tonight It's a dangerous job but I take that risk I trade my blood and sweat just to feed my kids Ive been workin' for the man since a tender age Now a rich politician wants to lower my wage Pour me a drink so I can understand These are the struggles of a workin' man I work outside in the pourin' rain When its cold as ice, when im full of pain It dont matter what i feel inside, long as the job that im workin' gets done on time The boss man says works gettin' slow Pack up your tools boys and head on home I pour another drink and try to understand These are the struggles of a workin' man (Spoken) See i work construction, i build things You understand how important that is to the world I dont know if ya'll realize the pressure that puts on a man like me I love my wife and I raise my son Best I can, better than some I just found out there other day I got another little one thats on the way I took a new job down at the factory Ya, dont pay much but atleast we can eat I roll up a smoke and i make a new plan These are the struggles of a workin' man Went down to the river just the other day Got down on my knees and began to pray I said lord please wont you understand The struggles of this workin' man These are the struggles of a workin' man

Well I'm gonna have to give up something that means the world to me* And I don't know what I'm gonna do or how I'm gonna be Yea I'm puttin' it down gonna try to stand on my two feet So this is the last time the needles going in To try to set my soul free I don't know what I'm gonna do but somethings gotta change Cause all the Heroin and downers are takin' away my flame I've done had four friends die around me Now I realize that old number 5 just might be me Once your a junkie they say it'll never go away But at least I'm gonna try To make it through one more day I'm just now startin' to tune into who I'm suppose to be So I'm breakin' the chains of the needle That's had a hold on me I don't know what I'm gonna do But somethings gotta change Cause the Heroin and downers are taking away my flame I've done had four friends die around me And I realize that old number 5 just might be me Yea I realize that old number 5 just might be me

I've been cool for far too long Just a matter of time before I break I took more shit than I wanted to take You can't look me in the eyes Something's gone wrong and you know I know I'm like a stick of dynamite ready to blow I just can't accept your lies no more It ain't my fault that you can't take it Just ain't cool if you have to fake it Don't threaten me, just pack your trash And don't let the door hit you in the ass Get outta my life! Get up, get gone, I got to keep on keeping on Too much pain, too much strife Up yours, get outta my life! Get up, get gone, I gotta keep on keeping on Too much pain, too much strife Up yours, get outta my life! I ain't gonna be cool no more You took advantage of my whole deal This ain't about you, it's the way I feel Nothing's ever good enough Your never satisfied heard it all before When you give all you got you can't give no more It's too late to change my mind I can't turn back the hands of time You should have noticed the danger sign Don't threaten me, just pack your trash And don't let the door hit you in the ass Get outta my life! Get up, get gone, I got to keep on keeping on Too much pain, too much strife Up yours, get outta my life! Get up, get gone, I got to keep on keeping on Too much pain, too much strife Up yours, get outta my life! Get up, get gone, I got to keep on keeping on Too much pain, too much strife Up yours, get outta my life! Get up, get gone, I got to keep on keeping on Too much pain, too much strife Up yours, get outta my life!
