This world is made with sweat and toil, pushing muscle and elbow oil
We can't lie too long in the shade, cause every day must be remade
Some days you fall some days you fly, but in the end we all must die
Our rotting flesh and broken bone will feed the ground that we call home

But a new sprout grows from a fallen tree, my sons will go on after me
So lift your heart and dry your eye, it's another day to live and die

The latest news
Has struck me funny
Says you have no friends
If you haven't got money

And all of us
Good folks are in distress
But I'm gonna get something off my chest

I’ve Been A Foreign Lander

I’ve been a foreign lander
Full seven long years and more
Among the bold commanders
Where the thundering canons roar
I’ve conquered all my enemies
Both all on land and sea

Left the cold and rain behind, I drove out west to Memphis
South across the Mississippi line, I rolled my window down
Big river runnin' on my right, turtles on the banks a walkin'
Don't know how far I'm gonna get tonight, forty-nine keep on talkin'

Chorus:
Some roads are made for drivin' fast, some roads are made for walkin'
Some roads are made to ease my mind, forty-nine keep on talkin'

It?s not as if I didn?t know better, her innocent look and a scented letter
It looked like love but it felt like a memory
Sometimes a young girl wants a ticket out
and a gambler on a roll looks good no doubt
But if you think you?re winnin? you don?t even know the game you?re in

Chorus:
It?s read ?em and weep, it?s a sad old song

Lyrics:

Pretty fair maid was in her garden
When a stranger came a-riding by
He came up to the gate and called her
Said pretty fair maid would you be my bride

She said I've a true love who's in the army

Train on the Island

Train on the island, hear the whistle blow
Go and tell my true love, I'm sick and I can't go

Train on the island, listen to her squeal
Go and tell my true love how happy I do feel
