SONG LYRICS

One AmeriCan

Verse 1
In ain’t about the color
Or badges on our chest
But the love for one another
Is all that should exist

All for one and one for all
Walking hand in hand
One Nation Under God
One AmeriCan

Verse 2
We survived a great depression
The Covid and the flu
World Wars and terrorists
And the division of the news

Never judge a book
Or the will of a man
One Nation Under God 
One AmeriCan 

Chorus
One AmeriCan change this world
Just like Dr. King 
So one AmeriCan you and I
Can close our eyes and dream 

One AmeriCan make a difference
When there is someone in need 
One AmeriCan be a Hero 
In God’s land of the free 

Verse 3
One by one we rise
When our brothers or sisters fall
United we stand up
And we answer the call

In ain’t about the color
Or the badges on our chest
But the love for one another
And what this flag represents 

Chorus
One AmeriCan change this world
Like brothers and sister do
Standing on the front lines
Protecting me and you

One AmeriCan make a difference
When there is someone in need
One AmeriCan be a hero
In God’s land of the free

Bridge
One AmeriCan change this world
Let Freedom Ring proud and true
With liberty and justice
God Bless Red White and Blue

One AmeriCan make a difference
Be all you can be
One AmeriCan be a Hero 
In God’s land of the free 

One AmeriCan be a Hero
In God’s land of the free

Small Town of Mine

Verse 1
I didn’t grow up on Friday night lights
Never joined a football team
I played with the kids from the neighborhood
Til it was too dark to see

I scored touchdowns in my front yard 
Couldn’t miss from the driveway line
We were out there running free and wild 
In this small town of mine

Chorus
In this small town 
It’s so much than, county roads
Out here it’s just a special place 
It’s a home inside my soul 

And if you grew up like me
You found a way to survive
And appreciate all the little things
In this small town of mine 

Verse 2
Everybody knew everybody
At the local grocery store
I learned to stuff hams and stock shelves
But it meant so much more 

Working alongside my brother 
My hero and my best friend 
If only those walls could talk 
And I could hear his voice again 

Chorus
In this small town 
It’s so much than, county roads
Out here it’s just a special place
It’s a home inside my soul 

And if you grew up like me
You found a way to survive
And appreciate all the little things
In this small town of mine 

Bridge
Mama never rested till we were safe at night
I can still feel her warm hugs, from the front porch lights
This place holds the stories, the stories of my life

Chorus
In this small town
It’s so much than, county roads 
Out here it’s a special place
It’s a home inside my soul  

And if you grew up like me 
You found a way to survive
And appreciate all the little things
In this small town of mine 

In this small town of mine 

In this small town of mine 

I’m Not a Superman

Verse 1
I ain’t got no cape
And I can’t fly
These boots aren’t red
There’s no hero to disguise 

Cause I’m not that strong
No, I can’t stop a train
I’d be lucky if
If I survive another day

Chorus
Cause I’m not a Superman
No, I’m not built that way
Only the man upstairs
Has that kind of strength

I’m just a willing man
Who’s willing to fight
I won’t save the day
But I’ll stand by your side

I’m not a Superman

Verse 2
I’m not bulletproof
Or faster than the speed of light 
I don’t wear spandex 
These ole jeans fit just right

I’m not a man of steel
My bones, they will break
I can’t leap a single bound
But I can take a leap of faith

Chorus
Cause I’m not a Superman
No, I’m not built that way
Only the man upstairs
Has that kind of strength

I’m just a willing man
Who’s willing to fight
I won’t save the day
But I’ll stand by your side

I’m not a Super 
A Superman

Bridge
There’s no S on my chest
Just my heart on my sleeve
I don’t need kryptonite 
To make me feel weak 

Chorus
I’m not a Superman
No, I’m not built that way
Only the man upstairs
Has that kind of strength

I’m just a willing man
Who’s willing to fight
I won’t save the day
But I’ll stand by your side

I’m not a Superman

Fighting 4

Verse 1
There is smoke
Over the horizon
With no time 
Left to defend 

Helpless cries
Echo in the distance 
Thinking if 
This will be the end

Hear the sirens something’s wrong
The Signal for heroes to run

Chorus
One by one
They get up and go
In the face of danger
Fear never shows

The wind that stands 
On wings that soar
Guarded by the angels
Of our fighting 4

Verse 2
There’s a weight
Within the silence
No rest
For innocent eyes

Blood of freedom
Tragedy in violence 
A Hero’s creed
No one left behind

Hear the sirens something’s wrong 
Signal for heroes to run

Chorus
One by one
They get up and go
In the face of danger
Fear never shows

The wind that stands 
On wings that soar
Guarded by the angels 
Of our fighting 4

Bridge
Sacrifice and risk it all
Heroes stand brave and strong
After all the smoke is gone
Praying everyone comes home 

Chorus
One by one
They get up and go
In the face of danger
Fear never shows

The wind that stands 
On wings that soar
Guarded by the angels 
Of our fighting 4

Of our fighting 4
Of our fighting 4
Of our fighting 4

To the ones not hear anymore

One More Round

Verse 1
The sun don’t shine like it used to
But damn if it still don’t shine
And freedom don’t come cheap
It’s got a heavier price

I’m not as good as I once was
But Toby I’m doing alright
The gloves may be off 
But I still got some fight

Chorus
This ain’t my story
I’m not staying down
I’ve got stuff in the basement 
I need to let out

Cause this ain’t my story
No this ain’t how it ends
I can feel a comeback
In these praying hands

I got one more
One more round

Verse 2
Now’s the time to get going
And relace up these old boots
The going’s gonna get tougher 
Carrying on with these roots

But they are worth the battle
I’m damn proud of my last name
Ain’t a hell that’s gonna keep me
Held a prisoner in these chains 

Chorus
This ain’t my story
I’m not staying down
I’ve got stuff in the basement 
I need to let out

Cause this ain’t my story
No, this ain’t how it ends
I can feel a comeback
In these praying hands

I got one more
One more, one more round
I got one more, one more round 

Bridge
I got one more chance to walk this road
One more day to rise
With the good lord standing with me
Not a fight, a hell I won’t survive 

Chorus
This ain’t my story
I’m not staying down
I’ve got Amen’s and hallelujah’s
I need to let out

Cause this ain’t my story
No this ain’t how it ends
I can feel a comeback 
In these praying hands

I got one more, one more, one more round
I got one more, one more round

I’m not as good as I once was 
But Toby I’m doing all right
The gloves may be off
But I’m always ready 

My Favorite Recipe

Verse 1
I’ve been thinking about you girl 
Can’t get you off my brain
You’re home dressed in your sweet and spicy 
My favorite kind of marinade

I'm talking 24/7
All gas and no breaks
My mind has never been more focused 
On only wanting one thing

Chorus
I can’t wait to take you out
And warm you up
Baste you in kisses
Tenderize you with love

Slow cook you down
Till your clothes fall off
And Ladle you up 
Till you’re in my arms 

Oh, I can already taste your
Secret spices loving up on me
Girl, you’re my favorite recipe 

Verse 2
I love dancing with you girl
I’ve never felt so free
Body to body
You’re all that I need                                        

And when we get going
Ain’t no stopping us now
Two hearts beating on fire
We’re burning it down 

Chorus
I can’t wait to take you out
And warm you up
Baste you in kisses
Tenderize you with love

Slow cook you down
Till your clothes fall off
And Ladle you up 
Till you’re in my arms 

Oh, I can already taste your
Secret spices loving up on me
Girl, you’re my favorite recipe 

Chorus
I can’t wait to take you out
And warm you up
Baste you in kisses
Tenderize you with love

Slow cook you down
Till your clothes fall off
And Ladle you up 
Till you’re in my arms 

Oh, I can already taste your
Secret spices loving up on me
Girl, you’re my favorite recipe 

The only one I need
My favorite recipe

Happy Birthday, Heaven

Verse 1                            
She was strong like a lion                    
Gentle as a lamb                        
She loved all her family                    
Kept a rosary in her hands                    

She embraced every battle                    
And didn’t go without a fight                    
Unti the good Lord called her home                  
One Silent Night                         
                                    
Chorus                          
Happy Birthday, Heaven                        
You had a good year                        
With so many of your                        
Children coming home                    
                                
My hearts so lost                        
Without you here                        
It’s hard to imagine you’re gone                    
                            
The days like today                         
Are so heavy                             
And I’m running out of tears                    
                                
Happy Birthday, Heaven                            
You had a good year                        

Verse 2                            
She never met a stranger                    
Was selfless in her soul
She was braver than a hero
A protector of her own

She was baptized by fire
Walked through the cancer of death
She loved with all her heart
Down to her last breath

Chorus                          
Happy Birthday, Heaven                        
You had a good year                        
With so many of your                        
Children coming home                    
                                
My hearts so lost                        
Without you here                        
It’s hard to imagine you’re gone                    
                            
The days like today                         
Are so heavy                             
And I’m running out of tears                    
                                
Happy Birthday, Heaven                            
You had a good year                        
 

Bridge
And when my judgement day comes
I’ll be down on one knee
Begging for your forgiveness
That someday you will take me to heaven

Chorus
Happy Birthday, Heaven
It'll be a good year
A reunion with my 
Family coming home

My heart, it smiles
Holding your memories near
I know I'm not alone

Days like today
I'm so ready
To climb those golden stairs

Happy Birthday, Heaven
It'll be a good year

Oh, Happy Birthday Heaven

We love you down here

God Shows Up

Verse 1
I've given God many reasons,
Not to love me
But that didn't change his mind

And I don’t go to church 
Like I should
But he still gives me his time

I’ve tried running away
Only to find him in every place I go
If there is one thing I know

Chorus
God shows up at the bottom of a bottle
Or if I don't take a sip

God Shows up when I’m feeling lonely
Or If I'm out in a crowded strip

The nights I don’t want to end
Days I don't want to see tomorrow

God Shows up

Verse 2
Many times I've cursed him
Said his name in vain
And been jeoulous of too many things

I forced mistakes in my life 
I'll never make right
But he never left me, he's right by my side

Chorus
God shows up at the bottom of a bottle
Or if I don't take a sip

God Shows up when I’m feeling lonely
Or If I'm out in a crowded strip

The nights I don’t want to end
Days I don't want to see tomorrow

God Shows up
God Shows up

Bridge 
When I'm weary
He gives me compassion
And when my grief is too heavy
He carries me with passion 

Chorus
God shows up at the bottom of a bottle
Or if I don't take a sip

God Shows up when I’m feeling lonely
Or If I'm out in a crowded strip

The nights I don’t want to end
Days I don't want to see tomorrow

God Shows up
God Shows up
God Shows up
God always shows up

Piece by Peace

Verse 1
Hard times have fallen
And I'm breaking down
All that I thought I was
I am nowhere to be found

Who I am anymore
It's like I don't exist
If I was to just disappear
Would I ever be missed

Verse 2
These thoughts and more
Keep playing in my brain
All of these changes
I won't ever be the same

I’m already tired of running
Running against that ole wind
Only just to end up
Back where it all begins

Chorus
Cause people change
Storms come rolling through
You do your best to hold on
But there's not a damn thing you can do

But bow your head
And get down on your knees
Give it your all and pray to God
He puts you back piece by piece

Piece by peace

Verse 3
Picking up the pieces
One Piece at a time
Is the only way that I know
How to survive

I tried picking them all up
Only to fall back apart
Not every piece that breaks
Fits back in your heart

Chorus
Cause people change
Storms come rolling through
You do your best to hold on
But there's not a damn thing you can do

But bow your head
And get down on your knees
Give it your all and pray to God
He puts you back piece by piece

Piece by peace

Bridge
The next time the devil
Comes back and says say when
He might think he has me in pieces
Until I pray Amen

Amen
Amen 

Chorus
Cause people change
Storms come rolling through
You did your best to hold on
And God got you through

You bowed your head
And now you rest in peace
All thanks be to God now Momma  

He put you back piece by piece

Piece by Peace

My Addiction

Verse 1
I look into your bloodshot eyes
And wonder if the tears you cry
Was it just your imagination 
Inside you head

All those thoughts you thought you’d new
Was nothing more than the broken truth
From all of the lies
That have been spread

Here’s to your addiction my friend

Verse 2
You lived your life of empty dreams
Leaving nothing the way it seams
And you grew too tired of all
The fiction you’ve read

Feeling lost in your mind
Fighting a bout for all mankind
Your only hope to survive 
Is left for dead

Here’s to your addiction my friend

Bridge
You drink your cup
And smoke your stuff
And suddenly it’s not enough
And your conscience goes off with it’s goodbyes 

Heaven hears you loud and clear
And tells you they don’t want you here
So now you’re an angel 
That cannot fly

Only those who repent will survive 

Verse 3
The devil tries to take her soul
You break down and lose control
You get down on your knees
And pray why me

You see a light at the end
The angel cries don’t fear my friend
Just close your eyes and believe 

She’s with God now can’t you see
She said she loved you till the end
Here’s to my addiction, my friend
