Yeah, we're one big country nation, that's right On two thousand country stations We work in the factories and the fields Assembly lines and coal mines and the steel mills That's what we do but there's more to us than that If you want to know who we are

Stand up, stand up we were right And they can't deny it You know we can't be more justified We've come to far just to fade away Pushed every day now See the blood sweat and tears on our face We've never been stronger There's no holding back now So you

The past is dead. I walk the funeral march and I will make my peace. There's parts of me that are lost forever. At least we're all lost together. I'll show you my hurt and I'll show you my heart. A life lost in the dark. Our skin, it shows, these

All that's left is a band of gold All that's left of the dreams I hold Is a band of gold Now that you've gone And the memories Of what love could be If you were Still here with me You took me from the shelter of a mother I had never known

Break my arms around the one I love And be forgiven by the time my lover comes Break my arms around my love I'm here to take you now You were right about the end It didn't make a difference How they got to be this way You must have known I'd do this

I took a heavenly ride through our silence Where were you when I was burned and broken While the days slipped by from my window watching And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless 'Cause the things you say and the things you do surround me

If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life We'll do it all

'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride It'll take you to the other side I don't need to see the other side So if you do like I do So if you do like me We're going to the other side Right here, right now I put the offer out I don't

I'd get on my knees Confess my love, I'd know where to be My sanctuary, you're holy to me If you were church, I'd get on my knees You were doomed but just enough I'd get on my knees, yeah If you were church, yeah, I'd get on my knees And take the pain

If you were there you'd know That I care If you were there you'd know I care for you baby You're the one that makes my day a dream come true Yet and still you wander if I think of you You ought to see how the other girls behave when you're not round And
