Johnny Cash - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

Virgil Caine is my name, and I served on the Danville train,

'til stonemans cavalry came and tore up the tracks again

In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive.

By May the tenth, Richmond had fell, it's a time I remember, oh so well

The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the bells were ringing,

The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the people were singin, they went

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she said to me,

Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee

Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good

Ya' take what ya' need and ya' leave the rest,

But they should never have taken the very best

The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the bells were ringing,

The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the people were singin, they went

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Like my father before me, I will work the land,

Like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand

He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a yankee laid him in his grave,

I swear by the mud below my feet,

You can't raise a Caine back up when he is in defeat

The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the bells were ringing,

The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the people were singing, they went

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Tracy Lawrence - If The World Had A Front Porch

It was where my Mama sat on that old swing with her crochet

It was where Granddaddy taught me how to cuss and how to pray

It was where we made our own ice cream those sultry summer nights

where the bulldog had her puppies,and us brothers had our fights

There were many nights I'd sit right there and look out at the stars

To the sound of a distant whippoorwill or the hum of a passing car

It was where I first got up the nerve to steal me my first kiss

and it was where i learned to play guitar and pray I had the gift

If the world had a front porch like we did back then

we'd still have our problems but we'd all be friends

Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin

Wouldn't be gone like the wind

If the World had a front porch, like we did back then

Purple hulls and pintos, I've shelled more than my share

As lightening bugs and crickets danced in the evening air

And like a beacon that old yellow bulb, it always led me home

Somehow Mama always knew just when to leave it on

Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin

Wouldn't be gone with the wind

If the World had a Front Porch, like we did back then

JAM - Town Called Malice

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life -

cos it's the one we'll never know

And quit running for that runaway bus -

cos those rosey days are few

And - stop apologising for the things you've never done,

Cos time is short and life is cruel -

but it's up to us to change

This town called malice.

Rows and rows of disused milk floats

stand dying in the dairy yard

And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk

bottles to their hearts

Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry

It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come

fast and furious

In a town called malice.

Struggle after struggle - year after year

The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice -

I'm almost stone cold dead

In a town called malice.

A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef

gets dashed against the Co-op

To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear

It's a big decision in a town called malice.

The ghost of a steam train - echoes down my track

It's at the moment bound for nowhere -

just going round and round

Playground kids and creaking swings -

lost laughter in the breeze

I could go on for hours and I probably will -

but I'd sooner put some joy back

In this town called malice.
