1. STILL UNBROKEN

Broken bones, broken hearts
Stripped down and torn apart
A little bit of rust - I'm still runnin'

Countin' miles, countin' tears
Twisted roads, shiftin' gears
Year after year - it's all or nothin'

But I'm not home, I'm not lost
Still holdin' on to what I got
Ain't much left
No there's so much that's been stolen
I guess I've lost everything I've had
But I'm not dead, at least not yet
Still alone, still alive, still unbroken
I'm still alone, still alive,
I'm still unbroken

Never captured, never tamed
Wild horses on the plains
You can call me lost - I call it freedom

I feel the spirit in my soul
It's something Lord I can't control
I'm never givin up while I'm still breathin!

I'm not home, I'm not lost
Still holdin' on to what I got
Ain't much left
Lord there's so much that's been stolen
I guess I've lost everything I've had
I'm not dead, at least not yet
Still alone, still alive, still unbroken
I'm still alone, still alive,
Still unbroken
I'm still unbroken
Still unbroken

Like the wind, like the rain
It's all runnin through my veins
Like a river pouring down into the ocean

I'm out here on the streets
But I'm standing on my feet
Still alive, still alone, still unbroken

I'm not home, I'm not lost
Still holdin' on to what I got
Ain't much left
Lord there's so much that's been stolen
Guess I've lost everything I've had
But I'm not dead, at least not yet
Still alive, still alone, still unbroken
I'm still alone, still alive,
I'm still unbroken

I'm still alone!
Still alive!
Still unbroken!
I'm still unbroken!

I ain't never going down!
I'm still unbroken!
Oooooooh-Ooooooh!


2. SKYNYRD NATION

I think it's gonna be good night here Rickey!
I think it's time to rock!
It's gonna be hell of a show!

People out there in the parking lot
Smoking that stuff it's a rebel flag rock
Turn it up, crank it out, let me hear you shout!
That sweet soul southern music!

So put your hands in the air
Give us all you got

We're feeling right (feelin' right)
Gonna take all night (take all night)
To rock this joint the way it's supposed to be
Young and old (young and old)
3 Generations bold (generations)
We've been told
It's a skynyrd nation

Motorcycle ladies hugging up to their daddies
Oh teenage bangers they're all getting ready!
Open those gates gonna rock tonight
Oh when those lights go down it's a beautiful sight!

So put your hands in the air
Give us all you got

We're feeling right (feelin' right)
Gonna take all night (take all night)
To rock this joint the way it's supposed to be
Young and old (young and old)
3 Generations bold (generations)
We've been told
It's a skynyrd nation!

Hey put your hands in the air

We're feeling right (feelin' right)
Gonna take all night (take all night)
To rock this joint the way it's supposed to be
Young and old (young and old)
3 Generations bold (generations)
We've been told
It's a skynyrd nation

Skynyrd nation! (Young and Old)
Skynyrd nation! (3 Generations More!)

We've been told...

It's a skynyrd nation


3. SIMPLE LIFE

Hey, when is the last time you sat down and had dinner With your kids?
Talked about what's going on in their lives?
Hey, when is the last time you just stopped and helped Somebody out?
I bet you can't remember

Well a lot of people are sayin'
"We're changing for the better"
Well that don't interest me

I like the simple life
The way it used to be
We left our doors wide open
We didn't need no key
I've been around the world
Seen all there is to see
I'd trade all those memories for one more day
How it used to be
I like the simple life

I wanna get up Sunday mornin'
Go fishin' with my boy
Watch the sunset kick back in my yard
Take my Harley on a real long lazy Sunday drive
And do a little more nothin' once in a while

Yeah Maybe kick my feet up
Watch a little re-run on tv
Laughin' with ol' Barney, Andy and Aunt Bee

I like the simple life
The way it used to be
We left our doors wide open
We didn't need no key
I've been around the world
Seen all there is to see
I'd trade all those memories for one more day
How it used to be
I like the simple life

Everything's going by so fast
I swear sometimes we just can't see
So caught up in where we're trying to get
Life as we know it, could be gone in a minute

I like the simple life
The way it used to be
We left our doors wide open
We didn't need no key
I've been around the world
Seen all there is to see
I'd trade all those memories for one more day
I like the simple life
I like the simple life
I want the simple life


4. THAT AIN'T MY AMERICA

Sometimes I want to light up underneath the no smoking sign
Sometimes I wished they'd tell me how justice got so blind
I wish they'd just leave me alone cause I'm doing alright
You can take your change on down the road and leave me Here with mine

Cause that aint my America, that aint this country's roots
You want to slam ol Uncle Sam but I aint lettin you
I'm mad as hell and you know I still, bleed red white and Blue
That aint us, That aint my America, That Aint My America

Yeah I was standing there in Dallas, waiting on a plane
I overheard an old man tell a young soldier thanks
Young soldier hung his head and said its hard to believe
You're the only one that took the time to say a word to me

And the old man said

That aint my America, that aint this country's roots
You want to slam ol Uncle Sam but I aint lettin you
Yeah I'm mad as hell and you know I still, bleed red white And blue
That aint us, That aint my America, That Aint My America

It's to the women and men in their hands they hold a bible And a gun
And they aint afraid of nothing when they're holding Either one, oh, uhh
Now theres kids that cant pray in school, hundred dollar Tanks of gas,
I can tell you right now this country aint, aint supposed To be like that

No, that aint my America, that aint this country's roots
You want to slam ol Uncle Sam but I aint lettin you
Yeah I'm mad as hell and you know I still, bleed red white And blue
That aint us, that aint my, that aint my America, oh no, That Aint My America

No, no, no, no, ohh, ohhh, uhuh, that aint my America, oh No....

5. SOUTHERN WAYS

When I was 15 I dreamed of leaving my home
I had to see the world
And live like a rolling stone
I heard California was paved in gold
So I hopped on that train
It didn't come easy
But I keep thinkin' bout
The green grass and missing my home

Take me back to my southern ways
Where I can be myself and live another day
Take me back to my southern ways
Where the tall pines blow and the southern winds kiss my Face

Oh southern grace

Me and my boys started a band
Practiced everyday out on the Hell House land
Played every honky tonk and this ol' bar
To sing about Sweet 'Bama
We were just simple men
The music is forever
and the songs will never ever end

Take me back to my southern ways
Where I can be myself and live another day
Take me back to my southern ways
Where the tall pines blow and the southern winds kiss my Face

Oh take me back!

I sit here thinkin' about those days
I wouldn't change a thing about my life today
Ain't it funny how time sure flies
'Cause all I ever wanted and all I ever needed
Was you

Take me back to my southern ways
Where I can be myself and live another day
Take me back to my southern ways
Where the tall pines blow and the St. John's flows, and Only God - he
knows, and those southern winds kiss my face


6. TRAVELIN' MAN (LIVE FROM FREEDOM HALL)

I was born a travellin' man, that's all I'll ever be
Moving around from town to town its what makes me so free
My father was a trucker for the years since '23
On the day that I was born his blood was left for me
I'm a travellin' man
Travellin' Man - that's what I am
Travellin' Man
Travellin' Man
That's what I am

Travellin' man - that's what I am
No one puts a hold on me
You'll see me once or maybe twice
That's all you'll see of me
All you pretty women Lord, I hope you understand
Don't be a fool and fall in love with a travellin' man
I'm a travellin' man
Travellin' Man - that's what I am
Travellin' Man
Travellin' Man
That's what I am
Travellin' man - that's what I am
But at least I'm free

Travellin' man
Oh that's what I am

Travellin man - that's what I am, Lord I move so fast
I have had so many women, none of them have lasted

Travellin' Man - that's what I am
Travellin' Man
Travellin' Man


7. WORKIN' (LIVE FROM FREEDOM HALL)

Up every mornin' before the sun
Takin' my lovin' on the run
Breakin' my back till the day is done
I'm gonna punch that time clock and have some fun
Ain't no easy way to get myself out

So-I keep on workin'
Like a workin' man do
I gotta buy my baby shoes
I keep on workin'
It's the only thing to do
I make my livin by the sweat of my brow
Oh-workin' just like you-uh

I was raised on the poor side of town
I made my livin' movin' around
I never let no one dog me down
Oh I was taught to stand my ground
Life was always changin'
That's just the way it is

So-I keep on workin'
Like a workin' man do
I got to buy my baby shoes
I keep on workin'
It's the only thing to do
I make my livin by the sweat of my brow
Oh-workin' just like you-uh
Oh oh oh oh-I keep on workin'

Ooh-I keep on workin'
Like a workin' man do
I got to buy my baby shoes
I keep on workin'
It's the only thing to do
I make my livin by the sweat of my brow

Oh-I keep on workin'
Like a workin' man do
I need to buy my baby shoes
I keep on workin'
It's the only thing to do
I make my livin by the sweat of my brow
Oh workin' just like you

Aaah ah ah ah aaah ah ah ah

8. RED WHITE AND BLUE (LIVE FROM FREEDOM HALL)

We don't have no plastic L.A. Frynds,
Ain't on the edge of no popular trend.
Ain't never seen the inside of that magazine GQ.
We don't care if you 're a lawyer, or a texas oil man,
Or some waitress busting ass in some liquor stand.
If you got Soul
We hang out with people just like you

My hair's turning white,
My neck's always been red,
My collar's still blue,
We've always been here
Just trying to sing the truth to you.
Yes you could say
We've always been,
Red, White, and Blue

Ride our own bikes To Sturgis
We pay our own dues,
Smoking camels, drinking domestic BREWS
You want to know where I have been
Just look at my hands
Yeah, I've driven by the White House,
Spent some time in jail.
Momma cried but she still wouldn't pay my bail.
I ain't been no angel,
But even God, he understands.

My hair's turning white,
My neck's always been red,
My collar's still blue,
We've always been here
Just trying to sing the truth to you.
Yes you could say
We've always been,
Red, White, and Blue

Yeah that's right!

My Daddy worked hard, and so have I,
Paid our taxes and gave our lives
To serve this great country
So what are they complaining about

Yeah we love our families, we love our kids
You know it is love that makes us all so rich
That's where were at,
If they don't like it they can just
Get the hell out!

Yeah!

My hair's turning white,
My neck's always been red,
My collar's still blue,
We've always been here
Just trying to sing the truth to you.
Yes you could say
We've always been,
Red, White, and Blue

Oh..oh..Red, White, and Blue....

Red, White, and Blue

Oh..oh....Red, White, and Blue


9. SWEET HOME ALABAMA (LIVE FROM FREEDOM HALL)

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yes

Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Alabama

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the governor's true
Sweet Home Alabama
Lordy
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Yea, yea Montgomery's got the answer


10. FREE BIRD (LIVE FROM FREEDOM HALL)

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on now
There's too many places I've gotta see
If I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same

Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
Oooh ooh ooh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I cannot change

Bye bye its been sweet love
Though this feeling I can't change
Please don't take this so badly
Cause lord knows I'm to blame
If I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same

Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
Ooh oh oh
And the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change

Lord help me I can't chaaange
Lord I can't change
Wont you fly high free bird
