up in the mountains where the hillbillies stay
when weekend comes  around they dance the night away
bring along some moonshine and there dancing soul
folks all gather round time to rock and roll

band play rock n roll for the whole night through
dance the night away till the early morning dew
rockin and a rollin with music in there soul
when weekend comes around they love to rock n roll

with a little bit of moonshine and dancing in there soul
when weekend comes around they love to rock n roll
dancing all night long with a drink or two
dancing all together till the early morning dew

rockin n rollin the hillbilly way
dancing all night long till break of day
a little bit of moonshine dancing in there soul
dancing all together they love rock n roll

I walk,I walk, I walk.
I talk, I talk, I talk.
I sing because, I'm happy.
I dance because, I'm free.

Humility is not found, in bowing down.
Or refusing to face, the truth.
But it's found in self sacrifice.
As you see the plight, of others.

If you break my heart.
Will you mend it.
Will you wipe away the many tears.
That I shed for only you.
Will you replace the light that shone forth.
As my eyes lingered only on you.
Will you fix this broken vessel.
That was perfect when you met it.
Or will you walk away.
And say, let's just call it a day

When paging through lifes journey.
What do we see.
Ticks or crosses.
Let's begin the count, one two, three.
For every cross we see.
It was just another blank.
Of goals we did not reach.
Or missions we did not fulfill.
So today a day as such as this.
Let's counteract, the blanks.
Filling every page, with visions, dreams and heartfelt cries.
As they come, to life on the pages.

believe me
i know my tears—
too wet,
 too sudden

my eyes a washing line
of memories, regrets
hung me up
  to dry

searching for a loan
of love like a borrowed
heart pinned to a shirt

to find the wear and tear
of time; every memory
is washed,
 wrung out in silence
until it dripped from my eyes—

finally, oh finally,
  this man has found
the time to cry.
