She never cried when old Yeller died She wasn't washed in the blood of the lamb She never stood up for the star spangled banner And she wasn't a John Wayne fan Her baby blue eyes had the warning signs That woman was bad to the bone She never cried when old Yeller died So do you think I'll cry when she's gone So desperate, I answered an ad in the personals Hoping to find me a date A good lookin' non smokin' full figured Leo Was looking to find her a mate We hit it off, we got it on My love was growing so strong Then I started seeing a side of that woman I should have seen all along She never cried when old Yeller died She wasn't washed in the blood of the lamb She never stood up for the star spangled banner And she wasn't a John Wayne fan Her baby blue eyes had the warning signs That woman was bad to the bone She never cried when old Yeller died So do you think I'll cry when she's gone I can't believe I just didn't see The writing there on the wall Listening to those Barry Mannilow records Was just one of her character flaws Sometimes she was rude, unnaturally crude But this good old boy let it pass But when she cussed in front of my mom I told she could kiss my She never cried when old Yeller died She wasn't washed in the blood of the lamb She never stood up for the star spangled banner And she wasn't a John Wayne fan Her baby blue eyes had the warning signs That woman was bad to the bone She never cried when old Yeller died So do you think I'll cry when she's gone She never cried when old Yeller died And I ain't gonna cry when she's gone

I tried to muster all the strength I had To hold back the tears When I looked into those big brown eyes And realized how the months have turned into years He said Daddy That baseball glove you gave me last year is like brand new I was hoping you can spend some time with me Maybe we can throw a few I said sorry Son, I've got to go I've got to make my mark in life And while I'm gone, you're the man of the house And take care of your mother, my wife I got to try and buy you all the things That I could never own And I heard a voice say no success can make up a failure in the home He cried Daddy Daddy can't you see I'd rather play with my old toys with you Let's spend some time with me He cried Daddy Daddy don't you know That all the money in the world Will never ever make me love you more He cried Daddy

One fine day in hell The master told a story Someone lied so well He sent him back to glory There are whispers between the screams That this deed can be done Even sinners must dream And I can be the one To make the devil cry I can win this game If all things come together I know it sounds quite strange I won't be smart just clever It's the law on the other side Just a kill lets you run And though many have tried I know I'll be the one To make the devil cry At last my time has come I must not give him pleasure I can be the one One chance or burn forever So I told him about my pain And the life I've been through He just smiled and the laughter came Then I told him that I love you And the devil cried Tears from his eyes Eyes of fire And the devil cried

They pulled in just behind the fridge He lays her down, he frowns "Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too young?" He kissed her then and there She took his ring, took his babies It took him minutes, took her nowhere Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but All night She wants the young American Young American, young American, she wants the young American All right She wants the young American Scanning life through the picture window She finds the slinky vagabond He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang, but Heaven forbid, she'll take anything But the freak, and his type, all for nothing Misses a step and cuts his hand, but Showing nothing, he swoops like a song "Where have all Papa's heroes gone?" All night She wants the young American Young American, young American, she wants the young American All right She wants the young American All the way from Washington Bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor "We live for just these twenty years Do we have to die for the fifty more?" All night He wants the young American Young American, young American, he wants the young American All right He wants the young American Do you remember, the bills you have to pay Or even yesterday? Have you been an un-American? You were no idol singing falsetto Leather, leather everywhere, and Not a myth left from the ghetto Well, well, well, would you carry a razor In case, just in case of depression? Sit on your hands in a bus of survivors Blushing at all the afro-sheeners Ain't that close to love? Well, ain't that poster love? It ain't that Barbie doll Her heart's been broken just like you have All night You want the young American Young American, young American, you want the young American All right You want the young American Well, you ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache I got a suite and you got defeat Ain't there a man you can say no more? Ain't there a child I can hold without judging? Ain't there a pen that will write before they die? Ain't you proud that you've still got faces? Ain't there just one song that will make you break down and cry? All night Young American, young American, you want the young American All right Young American, young American, you want the young American

This magic moment So different and so new Was like any other Until I kissed you And then it happened It took me by surprise I knew that you felt it too By the look in your eyes Sweeter than wine (sweeter than wine) Softer than a summer night (softer than a summer night) Everything I want, I have (everything, everything) Whenever I hold you tight This magic moment (this magic moment) While your lips are close to mine Will last forever Forever till the end of time (This magic moment) Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (This magic moment) Oh-oh-oh-oh Sweeter than wine (sweeter than wine) Softer than a summer night (softer than a summer night) Everything I want I have (everything, everything) Whenever I hold you tight This magic moment (this magic moment) While your lips are close to mine Will last forever (this magic moment) Forever till the end of time (magic) Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh (magic) Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh (magic) Oh-oh-oh-oh (moment) Oh-oh-oh-oh (magic) Oh-oh-oh-oh (magic) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (magic) Oh-oh-oh-oh (moment) Magic, oh-oh-oh Magic, oh-oh-oh Magic, oh-oh-oh (moment)

I grew up with reverence for the red, white, and blue Spoke of God and liberty, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance Learned love of country from my own family Some shivered and prayed, approaching the beaches of Normandy The flag waves high and that's how it should be So many lives given and taken in the name of freedom But the story's complicated and hard to read Pages of the book obscured or torn out completely I am a son of Uncle Sam And I struggle to understand the good and evil But I'm doing the best I can In a place built on stolen land with stolen people Blood in the soil with the cotton and tobacco Blood in the soil with the cotton and tobacco Blood in the soil with the cotton and tobacco A misnamed people and a kidnapped race Laws may change but we can't erase the scars of a nation Of children devalued and disavowed Displaced by greed and the arrogance of Manifest Destiny Short-sighted to say it was a long time ago Not even two lifetimes have passed since the days of Lincoln The sins of Andrew Jackson, the shame of Jim Crow And time moves slow when the tragedies are beyond description I am a son of Uncle Sam And I struggle to understand the good and evil But I'm doing the best I can In a place built on stolen land with stolen people We are more than the sum of our parts All these broken homes and broken hearts God will you keep us wherever we go? Will you forgive us for where we've been? We Americans Blood on the table with the coffee and the sugar Blood on the table with the coffee and the sugar Blood on the table with the coffee and the sugar I've been to every state, and seen shore to shore The still open wounds of the Civil War Watched blind hatred bounce back and forth Seen vile prejudice both in the south and the north And accountability is hard to impose On ghosts of ancestors haunting the halls of our conscience But the path of grace and goodwill is still here For those of us who may be considered among the living I am a son of God and man And I may never understand the good and evil But I dearly love this land Because of, and in spite of, we the people We are more than the sum of our parts All these broken bones and broken hearts God will you keep us wherever we go? Can you forgive us for where we've been? We Americans We Americans Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory Love Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory Love Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory Love in our hearts with the pain and the memory

I was all right for a while I could smile for a while But I saw you last night You held my hand so tight As you stopped to say "Hello" Ah you wished me well You couldn't tell That I've been cryin' over you Cryin' over you Then you said "So long" Left me standin' all alone Alone and cryin' (cryin') Cryin' (cryin'), cryin' (cryin'), cryin' It's hard to understand That the touch of your hand Can start me cryin' I thought that I was over you But it's true, so true I love you even more than I did before But darlin' what can I do You don't love me and I'll always be Cryin' over you, cryin' over you Yes, now you're gone And from this moment on I'll be cryin' (cryin') Cryin' (cryin'), cryin' (cryin'), cryin' I'm cryin', cryin' over you
