More from High Times and Low Livin'

Well, maybe some day I'll get the hang of using a computer, so here is the rest of the new songs that somehow didn't make the previous post........so please review these lyrics and the previous posting. Thanks. T.

 

Confederate American of the 21st Century

 

Each and every mornin’ as he gets out of his bed

He says a quiet prayer as he humbly bows his head

Askin’ for protection for all those that he loves

Knowin’ his words are heard  by God above

 

He always asks for guidance to get him through the day

To help him be a better man in each and every way

To keep alive the spirit of those who he comes from

Sharin’ truth with Honor keeps his enemy on the run

 

Chorus

A Confederate American of the 21st century

Ther’s more to this soldier than the little that ya see

He’s a complex individual and he’s learned from history

A Confederate American who wants his liberty

 

Under fire daily from those who speak in lies

They can not make him waiver no matter how they try

He stands his ground firmly his colors he proudly flies

Born Confederate American, an he’ll be one till he dies

 

They poke fun of him in Hollyweird because it makes them dollars

He stands to the Constitution  as written an makes liberals holler

They don’t want him to speak the truth his morals they shun

They can only hold their power by keepin’ him under thumb

 

Chorus:

 

He knows its truly wrong when illegals have more rights than him

An try as you may to change it,  to him abortion still a sin

Belief in God gets him through as does love of country flag and family

He’s Confederate American loud and proud an longin’ to be free

 

Though many will harass him and some try to divide the ranks

He gives his best for the Cause out of duty with little thanks

Never Lookin’ for fame nor glory no that is not his way

He’s Confederate American stout and true and waitin’ for his day

 

Chorus and  fade…….

Verse c g f

 

 Guess They Don’t Know (No Other Way To BE)          intro  f  g  c  verse c  f c  f  c f  g 

chorus  g c gc g f c

 

 

They stare hard but they don’t  really see

They walk enchained and think their free

They whisper  to some they wont speak aloud

They hang their head instead of bein’ proud

 Guess they don’t know no other way to be

 

They bitch and moan and they  always complain

They don’t do nuthin an wonder why it stays the same

They  hide in the shadows while others fight their fight

They would’nt dare fly the colors  now that aint right

Guess they don’t know no other way to be

 

Chorus   They don’t know how to be a man

              They don’t know how to make a stand

              They don’t  even know right from wrong

              They’re the reason I wrote this song

              Guess they don’t know no other way to be

 

They ain’t interested in learnin’ the truth of history

They’d rather spend their time bashin’ you and me

They can all  get together and go to straight to hell

They’d mess their pants if they heard a rebel yell

Guess they don’t know no other way to be

 

They believe that  equality is a one way street

They just want to keep us under their gliberal feet

They need everything  their way an that ain’t fair

They want the whole pie, not just their share

Guess they don’t know no other way to be

 

 

Chorus   They don’t know how to be a man

              They don’t know how to make a stand

              They don’t  even know right from wrong

              They’re the reason I wrote this song

              Guess they don’t know no other way to be

 

 

I’m just a man

 

There’s something strange and wild

In the blood of one like me

Who in all my days and nights

Have struggled to get free

 

Something stirs within me

It trembles and it beats

Like the flutter of broken wings

Or the sound of wind dried sheets

 

It is something that will never know

The feelin’ of content

Not until I’m dead an gone

Will my restless soul relent

 

An aching yearn that wakes and cries

Like a sea wind on the land

I’m lowly unhealthy but humble

For I am just a man……

 

 

 

Homeless Veteran

 

 

It was just outside of Charleston

we stopped to rest for awhile

As I walked up to the store front

I saw his  faded  smile

His cardboard sign read

“Disabled homeless vet

There was somethin’ there about him

That touched me an I ain’t  over it yet

 

At first I just walked on by

Like so many of us do”

A voice inside me whispered

“But for the Grace of God Go You”

I bought the things I stopped for

And I went  on back  outside

I took a good hard look at him

And then I started to cry….

 

His face it  was all mangled

From what the shrapnel did to him

And  though I  tried not to stare

I know I looked straight through him

I didn’t stop I merely walked back to the van

 I got a few more dollars from  the travel can

I went back into the store and bought some food

As I took it to him I said “don’t think me rude”

 

How does a Veteran  in  America

Come to end up this way  ?

And what will it take to change it

To make  tomorrow better than today?

Before I could ask him   more

 he began to quietly weep

But he composed himself

and then began to speak

 

Chorus

 

I haven’t eaten in 2 days  or maybe its been 3

And most folks turn away when they look at me

 cant remember the last time the kindness you’ve shown

Tomorrow will be better when Ive got a job and home…….

 

 I sat there beside him for quite a little  spell

An we talked of Heaven and  we talk’d of Hell

We both agreed hell can be    right here on  earth

An Heaven comes later in the form of   re birth

I got up from the stoop and offered  out my hand.

He trembled as he took it and  said I hope you understand

How much its, meant to me for your kindness an company

I told him I surely did appreciate what he gave to me...............

 

Well preciate ya'll readin' this far so please read on through the next post I've put my heart and soul into these songs I hope they move someone. Blessin's to all..T
