Lynyrd Skynyrd

Four Walls of Raiford



Well them four walls of Raiford, closing in on me 
Doin' three to five hard labor, for armed robbery 
I had two years behind, but I could not wait the time 
Everytime I thought about it, well I died some more inside

And I had stripes on my back, memories that hurt 
For the only time I seen sunshine is when I hit the dirt 
Diggin' ditches for the chain gang, sleepin' in the cold 
Oh Lord please forgive me for I could not wait no more

And I comin' home to see you Jesus 
Well it feels so close this time 
Please take mercy on this soldier 
From the Florida-Georgia line

When they find me they must kill me 
Oh Jesus save my soul 
I can't go back down to Raiford 
I can't take that anymore

Well these last few years behind me 
Oh Lord, have been so sad 
I fought proudly for my country when the times were bad 
Now they say I'm guilty, when they find me I must die 
Only me and Jesus know that I never stole a dime

Well when Vietnam was over there was no work here for me 
I had a pretty wife awaitin and two kids I had to feed 
Well I'm one of America's heroes and when they shoot me down 
Won't fly old Glory proudly, put my medals in the ground

And I comin' home to see you Jesus 
Well it feels so close this time 
Please take mercy on this soldier 
From the Florida-Georgia line

When they find me they must kill me 
Oh Jesus save my soul 
I can't go back down to Raiford 
I can't take that anymore

I love "Sunshine" and some of his other music. Of course, most of his music would probably be described as "hippy". On the same album as "Sunshine", he has a song called "Shanty" which is about sitting around the house just getting high.

Thanks. I've only been on FR since Jan this year and contributed 2nd and 3rd quarter $100 each time. When I get these kids paid for I'll set up recurring. It shocks me how few Freepers choose to voluntarily support this site. Even 50 cents a day is something yet the few carry the weight of the many. I like your tagline also. I change mine frequently to suit my mood.

"Taxman" (The Beatles) - George Harrison's ode to tax collectors and the governments they work for.


Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me.

Probably the best one that very few people know of is 'WE MUST TAKE AMERICA BACK'....don't remember all the lyrics but it starts out: The American dream has become a nightmare....the sign of times are cardboard street corners in town....there's a cancer called crime in our cities...and an unspoken fear we're on our way down...We must take America back, put an end to the gangs and the drugs on the streets and the fact that the bad guys must always go free...that is wrong. The singer is Steve Vaus who's done many well made patriot songs, in fact they're so good most are banned from mainstream radio stations.....he probably makes all the phony politcos and others a little too uncomfortable.

David Allen Coe "If That Ain't Country"

THE OLD MAN WAS COVERED WITH TATTOOS AND SCARS 
HE GOT SOME IN PRISON AND OTHERS IN BARS 
THE REST HE GOT WORKIN' ON OLD JUNK CARS 
IN THE DAYTIME 
THEY LOOKED LIKE TOMBSTONES IN OUR YARD 
AND I NEVER SEEN HIM WHEN HE WASN'T TIRED 
AND MEAN 
HE SOLD USED PARTS TO MAKE ENDS MEET 
COVERED WITH GREASE FROM HIS HEAD TO HIS FEET 
CUSSIN' THE SWEAT AND THE TEXAS HEAT 
AND MOSQUITERS 
AND THE NEIGHBORS SAID WE LIVED LIKE HICKS 
BUT THEY BRUNG THEIR CARS FOR PA TO FIX 
ANYHOW 
HE WAS VETERAN-PROUD, TRIED AND TRUE 
HE'D FOUGHT TILL HIS HEART WAS BLACK AND BLUE 
DIDN'T KNOW HOW HE'D MADE IT THROUGH 
THE HARD TIMES 
HE BOUGHT OUR HOUSE ON THE G.I. BILL 
BUT IT WASN'T WORTH ALL HE HAD TO KILL 
TO GIT IT 
HE DRANK PEARL IN A CAN AND JACK DANIELS BLACK 
CHEWED TOBACCO FROM A MAIL POUCH SACK 
HAD AN OLD DOG THAT WAS TRAINED TO ATTACK 
SOMETIMES 
HE'D GET DRUNK AND MEAN AS A RATTLESNAKE 
AND THERE WASN'T TOO MUCH THAT HE WOULD TAKE 
FROM A STRANGER 

THERE WERE THIRTEEN KIDS AND A BUNCH OF DOGS 
A HOUSE FULL OF CHICKENS AND A YARD FULL OF HOGS 
I SPENT THE SUMMERTIME CUTTIN' UP LOGS FOR THE WINTER 
TRYIN' LIKE THE DEVIL TO FIND THE LORD 
WORKIN' LIKE A NIGGER FOR MY ROOM AND BOARD 
COAL-BURIN' STOVE, NO NATURAL GAS 
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ASS 
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, IT'LL HAIRLIP THE POPE 
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, IT'S A DAMN GOOD JOKE 
I'VE SEEN THE GRAND OLE OPRY, AND I'VE MET JOHNNY CASH 
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ASS 

RECITATION: 
MAMA SELLS EGGS AT A GROCERY STORE 
MY OLDEST SISTER IS A FIRST-RATE WHORE 
DAD SAYS SHE CAN'T COME HOME ANYMORE 
AND HE MEANS IT 
MA JUST SITS AND KEEPS HER SILENCE 
SISTER, SHE LEFT 'CAUSE DAD GOT VIOLENT 
AND HE KNOWS IT 
MAMA SHE'S OLD FAR BEYOND HER TIME 
FROM CHOPPING TOBACCO AND I'VE SEEN HER CRYIN' 
WHEN BLOOD STARTED FLOWIN' FROM HER CALLOUSED HAND 
AND IT HURT ME 
SHE'D JUST KEEP WORKIN' TRYIN' TO HELP THE OLD MAN 
TO THE END OF ONE ROW AND BACK AGAIN 
LIKE ALWAYS 
SHE'S BEEN THROUGH HELL SINCE JUNIOR WENT TO JAIL 
WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT SHE AIN'T NEVER FAILED 
TO GET DOWN ON HER KNEES AND PRAY 
BECAUSE SHE LOVES HIM 
TOLD ALL THE NEIGHBORS HE WAS OFF IN THE WAR 
FIGHTIN' FOR FREEDOM, HE'S GOOD TO THE CORE 
AND SHE'S PROUD 
NOW OUR PLACE WAS A GRAVEYARD FOR AUTOMOBILES 
AT THE END OF THE PORCH THERE WAS FOUR STACKS OF WHEELS 
AND TIRES FOR SALE FOR A DOLLAR OR TWO 
CASH 

THERE WAS FIFTY HOLES IN AN OLD TIN ROOF 
ME AND MY FAMILY WE WAS LIVIN' PROOF 
THE PEOPLE WHO FORGOT ABOUT POOR WHITE TRASH 
AND IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ASS 
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, IT'LL HAIRLIP THE POPE 
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, IT'S A DAMN GOOD JOKE 
I'VE SEEN THE GRAND OLE OPRY, AND I'VE MET JOHNNY CASH 
IF THAT AIN'T COUNTRY, I'LL KISS YOUR ASS 

[Our man in washington]

Okay, so maybe he's more of a libertarian than a conservative. :)

[Prof Engineer]

For some reason I thought Lynard Skynard was a liberal?

I believe "Mr. Saturday Night Special" proves your point.

[HurkinMcGurkin]

I got no problem with that ;-)

I always loved that one line from "Sunshine" too, Sums up how I feel about politicians and others.

[mathluv]

Do you mean Merle is supporting Dennis Kuchinic (sp?)?

[gracex7]

For me, it's always been Chuck Berry's "Back in the U.S.A."

Oh well, oh well I feel so good today

I just touched down on an international runway

Jet-propelled back home from overseas to the USA.

New York, Los Angeles, oh how I yearn for you

Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge

How I long just to be in my home back in ol' St. Lou

Did I miss the skyscrapers, did I miss the long freeways?

From the coast of California to the shores of the Delaware Bay?

You can bet your life I did till I got back to the USA

I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA

Yeah, I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA

Anything you want, we got it right here in the USA

[Texas Federalist]

Anthem
by Rush

Know your place in life is where you want to be
Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me
Keep on looking forward, no use in looking 'round
Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you
Down

Live for yourself -- there's no one else
More worth living for
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will
Only cry out for more

Well, i know they've always told you
Selfishness was wrong
Yet it was for me, not you, i
Came to write this song

Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind
We marvel after those who sought
New wonders in the world, wonders in the world,
Wonders in the world they wrought

[gracex7]

Steve Vaus has got some great songs (that he writes). Is he still affiliated with 'For The People" and Chuck Harder?

[FortWorthPatriot]

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down You could stand me up at the gates of hell But I won't back down Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down Chorus Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out Hey I will stand my ground And I won't back down Well I know what's right, I got just one life In a world that keeps on pushin' me around But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down Hey baby there ain't no easy way out Hey I will stand my ground And I won't back down No, I won't back down

[american spirit]

I used to listen to Chuck a few yrs. ago and remember him playing Steve's songs like "I'd Rather die on my Feet than Live on my Knees", "Forever Heroes", etc. Some of his stuff has resurfaced from time to time on John Stadtmiller's show who is so far ahead of the talkshow curve it's not even funny. He's on www.gcnlive.com (STREAM 1 M-F 4-6CST) and if you check him out for a couple weeks you'll learn more from him and his callers than 6 months of the Mega ditto Blowfish.

[FortWorthPatriot]

Would someone please teach me how to format text - such as returns - in this forum? Re: my last post.

Thanks.

Ted Nugent, Rawdogs & Warhogs:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the mighty USA
Everywhere I run around they get out of my way
'Cause I'm American made, American born, from my hands my flag will not be torn away, no way!

'Cause I'm a Rawdog, Warhog, yeah
And I'm ready to fight, just pick out a night, I'll turn out your lights, I'm a Rawdog, Warhog, Rawdog, Warhog, yeah

Here I come like Crazy Horse, I hear that battle cry
My spirit is full like sitting bull, it's a perfect day to die

'Cause I'm a Rawdog, Warhog, yeah
And I'm ready to fight, just pick out a night, I'll turn out your lights, I'm a Rawdog, Warhog, Rawdog, Warhog, yeah

[Physicist]

Let's not forget the classic "Capitalism" by Oingo Boingo:

Capitalism

There's nothing wrong with Capitalism
There's nothing wrong with free enterprise
Don't try to make me feel guilty
I'm so tired of hearing you cry

There's nothing wrong with making some profit
If you ask me I'll say it's just fine
There's nothing wrong with wanting to live nice
I'm so tired of hearing you whine
About the revolution
Bringin' down the rich
When was the last time you dug a ditch, baby!

If it ain't one thing
Then it's the other
Any cause that crosses your path
Your heart bleeds for anyone's brother
I've got to tell you you're a pain in the ass

You criticize with plenty of vigor
You rationalize everything that you do
With catchy phrases and heavy quotations
And everybody is crazy but you

You're just a middle class, socialist brat
From a suburban family and you never really had to work
And you tell me that we've got to get back
To the struggling masses (whoever they are)
You talk, talk, talk about suffering and pain
Your mouth is bigger than your entire brain
What the hell do you know about suffering and pain (you dumb f---). . .

(Repeat first verse)

(Repeat chorus)

There's nothing wrong with Capitalism
There's nothing wrong with Capitalism
There's nothing wrong with Capitalism
There's nothing wrong with Capitalism
