“A Country Boy Can Survive” by Hank Williams Jr,

Mixed with,

“Country Boy” by Aaron Lewis

by Ian R. Shirm

ed. note: All the words, from both songs, used once. Lyrics mixed to turn two songs into one. The words in quotes are Aaron’s and the rest Hanks.

The preacher man says it’s the end of time
And the Mississippi River she’s a goin’ dry
The interest is up and the Stock Markets down
And you only get mugged
If you go down town

“Well I grew up down an old dirt road in a town you wouldn’t know
My pops picked the place up for 1500 bucks back in 1964” -Aaron

I live back in the woods, you see
A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun, a rifle and a 4-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

“I got a big orange tractor and a diesel truck
And my idea of heaven is chasing whitetail bucks
And as a country boy you know I can survive” -Aaron

I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain’t too many things these ole boys can’t do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

“Now two flags fly above my land that really sum up how I feel
One is the colors that fly high and proud
The red, the white, the blue
The other ones got a rattlesnake with a simple statement made
“Don’t tread on me” is what it says and I’ll take that to my grave
Because, this is me
I’m proud to be American and strong in my beliefs” -Aaron

Because you can’t starve us out
And you cant makes us run
Cause one-of-’em old boys raisin ole shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

“Now it’s been 12 years since I sold my soul to the devil in L.A.
He said “sign your name here on the dotted line and your songs they all will play” -Aaron

“He set up shop on sunset, he put me up at the marquee
He said “you wanna sell a million records boy you better listen to me” ” -Aaron

“He said “change your style, whiten your smile, you could lose a couple of pounds
And if you want to live this life, you better lose that wife, do you need your friends around?” ” -Aaron

“I said, no that’s not me
Cause the biggest things in life are your friends and family
And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts
And a couple extra pounds never really hurt
Cause a country boy is all I’ll ever be” -Aaron

We came from the West Virginia coalmines
And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

“My grandfather was a drinker back in the day he put ’em down
But a war is known to change a man and the whiskey is known to change a man” -Aaron Lewis

“But, that’s not me
I rarely drink from the bottle but I smoke a little weed
I still live in the sticks where you wouldn’t go
In a town of 1200 off an old dirt road
And a country boy is all I’ll ever be” -Aaron

I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
And I’d send him some homemade wine

But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life
Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
And shoot him with my old 45
Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

“Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive
You’ll never catch me out the house without my 9 or 45” -Aaron

Cause you can’t starve us out and you can’t make us run
Cause one-of-’em old boys raisin ole shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

“And I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again
Cause I’ve never needed government to hold my hand
And I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again
Cause my family has always fought and died to save this land
And a country boy is all I’ll ever be” -Aaron

We’re from North California and south Alabama
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trot line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

“I love my country, I love my guns, I love my family
I love the way it is now, and anybody that tries to change it
Has to come through me, that should be all our attitudes
’cause this is America and a country boy is good enough for me son” -Aaron

“Lonesome, On’ry And Mean” by Waylon Jennings,

Mixed with,

“Three Shades of Black” by Hank Williams the Third

by Ian R. Shirm

 

Three shades of black is where I come from.
Depression, Misery, and Hellacious fun.
No we’re not the kind to turn our backs and run
coz three shades of black is where we come from.
We are a certain breed and we don’t like you.
Some are junkies some are freaks and others are everyday ghouls.
No one will ever know what we’ve been through
and we are proud in the light of the moon. -Hank III

On a Greyhound bus Lord I’m travelin’ this morning
I’m goin’ to Shreveport and down to New Orleans
Been travlin’ these highways and doin’ things my way
It’s been making me lonesome on’ry and mean. – Waylon

God her hair was jet black and her name was Bodine
Thought she was the queen of the Basin Street Queens
She got tired of that smoky-wine dream
She began to feel lonesome on’ry and mean. – Waylon

Three shades of black
Three shades of black
We all like metal and Whiskey!
Livin’ Hard and chasin’ down Hell.
We’ll never give up on what we have because the darkness gives us our thrills. -Hank III

We got together and we cashed in our sweeps
Gave onto beggar who was mumblin’ through the streets
There’s no escaping from his snowy white dream
On’ry and lonesome on’ry and mean. – Waylon

3 shades of black
3 shades of black
We all like metal and Whiskey!
Livin’ Hard and chasin’ down Hell.
We’ll never give up on what we have because the darkness gives us our thrills. -Hank III

Yeaaaaaaaahhhh! Yeeeeeaaaaahyeaaaaaaaah! -Hank III

I’m down in this valley where the wheels turn so low
At dawn I pray to the Lord of my soul
I say do Lord do right by me you know
I’m tired of being lonesome on’ry and mean… -Waylon

Three shades of black is where I come from.
I was born in the sacrifice when I was young.
Three shades of black is what makes us strong,
and we all wear it like a uniform of chosen ones. -Hank III

[Chorus]
Three shades of black.
Three shades of black.
Three shades of black.
We all like metal and Whiskey!
Livin’ hard and chasin’ down Hell.
We’ll never give up on what we have because the darkness gives us our thrills. -Hank III

Coz’ the darkness gives us our thrills….. -Hank III

“Take Me To Church” by Hozier

Mixed with,

“Terrible Lie” by Nine Inch Nails

by Ian R. Shirm

ed. note: All the words, from both songs, used once. Lyrics mixed to turn two songs into one. ps. I took artistic liberty and didnt follow the above rule, in order to give the song a better feel and have it flow better.

My lover’s got humor
She’s the gig­gle at a funeral
Knows everybody’s dis­ap­proval
I should have wor­shiped her sooner

If the heav­ens ever did speak
She’s the last true mouth­piece
Every Sunday’s get­ting more bleak
A fresh poi­son each week

‘We were born sick,’ you heard them say it

(Hey God)

Why are you doing this to me?
Am I not living up to what I’m supposed to be?
Why am I seething with this animosity?
(Hey God)
I think you owe me a great big apology

My Church offers no absolutes.

She tells me, ‘Wor­ship in the bed­room.‘
The only heaven I’ll be sent to
Is when I’m alone with you

(Hey God)

I really don’t know what you mean
Seems like salvation comes only in our dreams
I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme
(Hey God)
Can this world really be as sad as it seems?

I’ll wor­ship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that death­less death
Good God, let me give you my life

(Everything)
Terrible lie
(My sweet everything)
Terrible lie
(I give you everything)
Terrible lie
(My sweet everything)

I was born sick,

But I love it
Com­mand me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Take me to church
I’ll wor­ship like a dog at the shrine of your lies

I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that death­less death
Good God, let me give you my life

Don’t take it away from me, I need someone to hold on to

Don’t take it away from me, I need someone to hold on to
Don’t take it away from me, I need someone to hold on to
Don’t take it away from me, I need someone to hold on to

If I’m a pagan of the good times

My lover’s the sun­light
To keep the God­dess on my side
She demands a sacrifice

Drain the whole sea
Get some­thing shiny
Some­thing meaty for the main course
That’s a fine look­ing high horse
What you got in the sta­ble?
We’ve a lot of starv­ing faithful

That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hun­gry work

Take me to church

Don’t take it away from me, I need someone to hold on to

Don’t take it away from me, I need someone to hold on to
Don’t take it away from me, I need you to hold on to
Don’t take, don’t take, don’t take it, don’t take it, don’t

Take me to church
I’ll wor­ship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that death­less death
Good God, let me give you my life

(Hey God)
There’s nothing left for me to hide
I lost my ignorance, security and pride
I’m all alone in a world you must despise
(Hey God)

I believed the promises, your promises and lies

Take me to church
I’ll wor­ship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that death­less death
Good God, let me give you my life

No Mas­ters or Kings

When the Rit­ual begins
There is no sweeter inno­cence than our gen­tle sin

In the mad­ness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am Human
Only then I am Clean
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Terrible lie

(Everything)
Terrible lie
(My sweet everything)
Terrible lie
(I give you everything)
Terrible lie
(My sweet everything)
Terrible lie

Take me to church

I’ll wor­ship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that death­less death
Good God, let me give you my life

You made me throw it all away, my morals left to decay

(Terrible lie)
How many you betray you’ve taken everything
(Terrible lie)
My head is filled with disease, my skin is begging you please
(Terrible lie)
I’m on my hands and knees, I want so much to believe

Take me to church

I’ll wor­ship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that death­less death
Good God, let me give you my life

I give you everything, my sweet everything

I give you everything, my sweet everything
I give you everything, my sweet everything
I give you everything, my sweet everything
There’s nothing left for me to hide

Take me to church

I’ll wor­ship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that death­less death
Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church…..

“I See a Darkness” by John Cash,

Mixed with,

“The Beast in Me” by John Cash,

by Ian R. Shirm

Well, you’re my friend and can you see,
Many times we’ve been out drinkin’,
Many times we’ve shared our thoughts,
But did you ever, ever notice, the kind of thoughts I got?

And that I see a darkness.

The beast in me
Is caged by frail and fragile bars
Restless by day
And by night rants and rages at the stars
God help the beast in me

Oh, no, I see a darkness.
Oh, no, I see a darkness.

The beast in me.

Did you know how much I love you?
Is a hope that somehow you,
Can save me from this darkness.

The beast in me
Has had to learn to live with pain
And how to shelter from the rain
And in the twinkling of an eye
Might have to be restrained
God help the beast in me

Well, I hope that someday, buddy, we have peace in our lives.
Together or apart, alone or with our wives.
And we can stop our whoring and pull the smiles inside.
And light it up forever and never go to sleep.
My best unbeaten brother, this isn’t all I see.

And that I see a darkness.
And that I see a darkness.

Sometimes it tries to kid me
That it’s just a teddy bear
And even somehow manage to vanish in the air
And that is when I must beware
Of the beast in me that everybody knows
They’ve seen him out dressed in my clothes
Patently unclear
If it’s New York or New Year
God help the beast in me

Oh, no, I see a darkness.
Oh, no, I see a darkness.

Well, you know I have a love, a love for everyone I know.
And you know I have a drive to live, I won’t let go.
But can you see this opposition comes rising up sometimes?
That it’s dreadful imposition, comes blacking in my mind.

Did you know how much I love you?
Is a hope that somehow you,
Can save me from this darkness.
