You know I’ve spent a lot of time Looking up from the ground Just tryin’ to pick myself up From bein’ knocked down ‘Cause It’s never easy Bein’ someone like me Like a fire that’s gone with the wind I’m my own enemy. But I struggle and I scrape To find a better me And when I just don’t think That I will have the strength To take on anything I can’t forget it’s up to Me to find a way To land back on my feet Whoa yeah You know there’s never a time To quit and give in Just gotta dust yourself off and get ready To go at it again ‘Cause I struggle and I scrape To find a better me And when I just don’t think That I will have the strength To take on anything I can’t forget it’s up to Me to find a way To land back on my feet Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa ‘Cause I struggle and I scrape To find a better me And when I just don’t think That I will have the strength To take on anything I can’t forget it’s up to Me to find a way To land back on my feet

Well I don’t know if I’m the only one who expected life to be A little more then workin’ like a dog for almost free They say you can be anything that you wanna be I say ignorance is bliss and you are livin’ in a dream Cause’ we’re all just workin’ to make ends meet Just tryin’ to live the lives we’re supposed to lead With so much standin’ in our way Well we learn to live another day With the shirts on our backs and the shoes down on our feet Just tryin’ to make ends meet When I was young my old man worked his hands to the bone To put food on the table and he did it alone Workin for the man who never through him a bone To this day he’s in a factory workin’ along Cause’ we’re all just workin’ to make ends meet Just tryin’ to live the lives we’re supposed to be With so much standin’ in our way Well we learn to live another day With the shirts on our backs and the shoes down on our feet Just tryin’ to make ends meet Now I’m 25 and I can’t complain I’m doin’ what it is that I love Write and playin’ songs and doing things some only get to dream of Now those of you who go to work everyday My hat goes off to you It’s not easy just tryin’ to get by But we do what we gotta do Cause’ we’re all just workin’ to make ends meet Just tryin’ to live the lives we’re supposed to lead With so much standin’ in our way Well we learn to live another day With the shirts on our backs and the shoes down on our feet Just tryin’ to make ends meet

Raisin' Hell 05:18
Hey there darlin how ya doin tonight? Would you like to have a drink and watch the fire flies Under the sweet summer sky It’s 11:45 on a Tuesday night But we don’t give a damn ‘cause it’s all alright When you are by my side Just you and I And there’s nothin’ that’ll ever slow us down On a summer night lost somewhere in our hometown ‘Cause there’s always mischief to find on those late night rides Goin’ to parties and bars like it’s goin’ out of style There’s nothin’ like gettin’ high And watchin’ the summer sun rise And the shows outside underneath those stars Where we seem to find out who we really are What’s in store for tomorrow we never can tell But we’re probably gonna raise some hell Yeah we’re probably gonna raise some hell And there’s something about you in this moonlight That I can’t seem to get off my mind You got me all shook up Just wonderin’ what’s in your cup And the warmth in the air has us dancin’ around Got us actin’ like we must own the town Well for tonight we do And forever it’s me and you And I don’t think I would have it any other way When I come home again someday I hope there’s still All that mischief to find on those late night rides Goin’ to parties and bars like it’s goin’ out of style There’s nothin’ like gettin’ high And watchin’ the summer sun rise And the shows outside underneath those stars Where we seem to find out who we really are What’s in store for tomorrow we never can tell But we’re probably gonna raise some hell Yeah we’re probably gonna raise some hell And there’s nothin’ that’ll ever slow us down On a summer night lost somewhere in our hometown ‘Cause there’s always mischief to find on those late night rides Goin’ to parties and bars like it’s goin’ out of style There’s nothin’ like gettin’ high And watchin’ the summer sun rise And the shows outside underneath those stars Where we seem to find out who we really are What’s in store for tomorrow we never can tell But there’s probably gonna be some Mischief to find on those late night rides Goin’ to parties and bars like it’s goin’ out of style There’s nothin’ like gettin’ high And watchin’ the summer sun rise And the shows outside underneath those stars Where we seem to find out who we really are What’s in store for tomorrow we never can tell But we’re probably gonna raise some hell Yeah we’re probably gonna raise some hell Yeah we’re probably gonna raise some hell Yeah we’re probably gonna raise some hell

Late nights, long rides To feel free for just a moment in time Just another page in this wild life Hit the lights, dark as night But clear as day if I just close my eyes There’s nothin’ else that could make me feel so high ‘Cause I never know which way I’m goin’ I only know where I’ve been And I can only hope I’m comin’ back again Some days I’m tired, feelin’ a little wired From the endless grind night after night But this is the life, just a day at a time Tryin’ to survive Road signs and white lines All look the same as the ones that we left behind Another state line in this wild state of mind Showtime, I unwind Before I have to walk that line There’s nothin’ else that could make me feel so alive ‘Cause I never know which way I’m goin’ I only know where I’ve been And I can only hope I’m comin’ back again Some days I’m tired, feelin’ a little wired From the endless grind night after night But this is the life, just a day at a time Tryin’ to survive ‘Cause I never know which way I’m goin’ I only know where I’ve been And I can only hope I’m comin’ back again (I’ll see you again) Some days I’m tired, feelin’ a little wired From the endless grind night after night But this is the life, just a day at a time Tryin’ to survive Who-oh, who-oh, who-oh-oh-oh-oh Who-oh, who-oh, who-oh-oh-oh-oh Who-oh, who-oh, who-oh-oh-oh-oh Who-oh, who-oh

It’s always been you Who kept me strong And kept me holdin’ on I just never knew And it’s always been you When somethin’ feels so wrong That’s always lead me true I just never knew And it’s always been you That’s been the dim of light While I’ve been lost in the dark I just never knew That I would find a girl with a heart like you That we would smile and laugh as our time just flew us by Before we could blink our eyes But now that we’re right here it is so damn clear That all our greatest mistakes were all worth the wait If there’s one thing that’ll never be more true It’s always been you It’s always been you That kept me on the right road And kept me warm in the cold I just never knew And it’s always been you Who’s always had my eye I never will deny My heart belongs to you And it’s always been you I just never knew That I would find a girl with a heart like you That we would smile and laugh as our time just flew us by Before we could blink our eyes But now that we’re right here it is so damn clear That all our greatest mistakes were all worth the wait If there’s one thing that’ll never be more true It’s always been you

Just couldn’t take it today Swear it’s all a big mistake You’ve gone and given up everything you ever loved There’s nothing you can say ‘Cause words don’t tolerate Throw it all away for a moment of being numb Now the days are counting down And time is running out Will you set aside your pride and see What is real in your world that’s been built and broke on lies How do you believe in anything that’s always been disguised Can you see through the clouds of your wreckage and your pain Do you really think that anything can ever be the same When you point the blame Why do you do it this way? It’s the same old shit as yesterday Right back at the bottom where you had begun No matter how hard you try You’ll never be fully satisfied So afraid of life and always on the run Now the days are counting down And time is running out Will you set aside your pride and see What is real in your world that’s been built and broke on lies How do you believe in anything that’s always been disguised Can you see through the clouds of your wreckage and your pain Do you really think that anything can ever be the same When you point the blame What is real in your world that’s been built and broke on lies How do you believe in anything that’s always been disguised Can you see through the clouds of your wreckage and your pain Do you really think that anything can ever be the same When you point the blame

As soon as night falls I’ll be skippin' town Not a damn reason to be stickin' around Lookin’ for the party and lookin’ for the sound It's damn hard to do when there ain’t nothin' around So just get on in and hold on tight While we chase the mornin' sweet sunrise The trucks loaded up, the tanks full of gas And the law won’t even bother chase our ass 'Cause there’s no time for stoppin' now And I sure as hell ain’t turnin' around 'Cause we’re Southbound and we’re flyin' high Rollin' by the stars and the moon in that sky Yeah we’re Southbound, gonna be drivin' all night Go until this hell ain’t no where in sight 'Cause there really ain’t no better place for me Then where the tunes are cranked and there’s some good company So we’re Southbound and we ain’t turnin' back now You know I’m so sick and tired of this brutal cold And watchin' snow fall is gettin' real damn old I wanna feel the heat, wanna feel the sand And I wanna do it all with a drink in my hand So just get on in and hold on tight cuz you and I are in for a hell of a ride Pack your bags, we’re leavin' at dawn And don’t bother callin' 'cuz we’ll be long gone ‘Cause the only thing on our minds Is sunny and 75 'Cause we’re Southbound and we’re flyin' high Rollin' by the stars and the moon in that sky Yeah we’re Southbound, gonna be drivin' all night Go until this hell ain’t no where in sight 'Cause there really ain’t no better place for me Then where the tunes are cranked and there’s some good company So we’re Southbound and we ain’t turnin' back now Y’all better get a good look now 'Cause once we hit the road, there ain't no turnin' back 'Cause we’re Southbound and we’re flyin' high Rollin' by the stars and the moon in that sky Yeah we’re Southbound, gonna be drivin' all night We'll go until this hell ain’t no where in sight 'Cause there really ain’t no better place to be Then where the tunes are cranked and there’s some good company So we’re Southbound and we ain’t turnin' back now Southbound and we’re flyin' high Rollin' by the stars and the moon in that sky Yeah we’re Southbound, gonna be drivin' all night We'll go until this hell ain’t no where in sight 'Cause there really ain’t no better place for me Then where the tunes are cranked and there’s some good company So we’re Southbound and we ain’t turnin' back now (Southbound) No we ain't turnin' back now (Southbound)

I haven’t always seemed like I’m in way in over my head But I’ve been pushed beyond my limits It doesn’t ever seem like I am gonna win As hard as I try I just can’t fix it ‘Cause life has a way of messin’ with my mind Somehow it happens all the time, when all I can do is Scream my heart out I scream till I scream so loud That I can’t make another sound I scream to the ones who wronged me or ever showed me any doubt I scream like no one is around I scream my heart out And I don’t remember when I grew to be this way With a fuse always lit in my head And I could never find the words I know I should’ve said When the fight is always lost I see red But I want so bad to keep it all inside And some things are just to hard to hide When all I can do is Scream my heart out I scream till I scream so loud That I can’t make another sound I scream to the ones who wronged me or ever showed me any doubt I scream like no one is around I scream my heart out Scream, scream Scream my heart out Scream my heart out I scream till I scream so loud That I can’t make another sound Scream my heart out I scream till I scream so loud That I can’t make another sound I scream to the ones who wronged me or ever showed me any doubt I scream like no one is around I scream my heart out
