Sometimes I don’t have the strength to fight the fall.
Sometimes I’m tired and just drop the ball.
When the earth beneath my feet’s just shaky ground,
An’ when I’m scared I’m gonna let the whole world down.
You breathe life into me,
Put me back on my feet.
Every time, you know exactly what I need.
An’ when I lose control,

My little boy kneelin’ by his bed,
Hands folded, sayin’ his prayers.
Talkin’ to God, man to man:
He don’t know that I’m there.
That’s a picture I’d like to frame.
That’s a picture only God can paint.

Ray taught me the value of Faith an’ family,
The American flag, hard work, honesty an’ a [...]

We’re farmers’ sons an’ preacher’s boys.
Small town with big toys.
Call us fools or call us brave,
On rainy nights, we parade,
In four wheel drives; the girls in jeans too tight.
Ain’t no drive dirt. there ain’t no dust.
Got mud, no fear, Bocephus, cold beer.
We bounce, we slide, we sing while we ride.
We don’t like paved streets, asphalt [...]
