Company, always on the run
Destiny, it's the rising sun
I was born a shotgun in my hand
Behind the gun I'll make my final stand
Yeah, that's why they call me

Bad company, I can't deny
Bad, bad company
Till the day I die
Until the day I die
Until the day I die

Rebel souls, deserters we've been called
Chose a gun and threw away the sun
Now these towns, they all know our names
The death punch sound is our claim to fame
That's why they call me

Bad company, I can't deny
Bad, bad company
Till the day I die
Until the day I die
Until the day I die

Eye for an eye
Tooth for a tooth
Blood for blood
We've all gotta die, we've all gotta die

And that's why they call me
Bad company, I wont deny
Bad, bad company
Until the day I die

Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing, just to play the King
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Hard and cold
Bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Yeah! Are you satisfied?
Wish I might, Wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing. just to play the King
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Huh!

Wish I may, wish I might
Have this wish, I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how

Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish you may regret it
Careful what you wish you just might get it

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger, but there's no one around
Just want one thing, just to play the King
But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Nothing

Oh, You're just nothing
Where's your crown King Nothing?
Oh, you're just nothing
Absolutely nothing

Off to never never land

Don't let go.
Tonight, where did you go?
Your expression is familiar.

Cowboy...Cowboy.

Well I'm packing up my game and I'm a head out west
Where real women come equipped with scripts and fake breasts
Find a nest in the hills, chill like Flynt
Buy an old drop top, find a spot to pimp
Then I'm a Kid Rock it up and down your block
With a bottle of scotch and watch lots of crotch
Buy a yacht with a flag sayin' chillin' the most
Then rock that b**** up and down the coast
Give a toast to the sun, drink with the stars
Get thrown in the mix and tossed out of bars
Zip to Tiajuana... I wanna roam
Find Motown, tell them fools to come back home
Start an escort service, for all the right reasons
And set up a shop at the top of Four Seasons
Kid Rock and I'm the real McCoy
And I'm headin' out west sucker... because I wanna be a...

Cowboy baby
With the top let back and the sunshine shining
Cowboy baby
West coast chillin' with the Boone's Wine
I wanna be a Cowboy baby
Ridin at night cause I sleep all day
Cowboy baby
I can smell a pig from a mile away.

I bet you'll hear my whistle blowin when my train rolls in
It goes [whistle] like dust in the wind.

Stoned pimp, stoned freak, stoned out of my mind.

I once was lost, but now I'm just blind
Palm trees and weeds, scabbed knees and rice
Get a map to the stars, find Heidi Fleiss
And if the price is right then I'm gonna make my bid boy
And let Cali-forn-I.A. know why they call me...

Cowboy baby
With the top let back and the sunshine shining
Cowboy baby
West coast chillin' with the Boone's Wine
I wanna be a Cowboy baby
Ridin' at night cause I sleep all day
Cowboy baby
I can smell a pig from a mile away.

Yeah... Kid Rock... you can call me Tex
Rollin' Sunset woman with a bottle of Becks
Seen a slimmy in a Vette, rolled down my glass
And said: "Yeah this d*** fits right in your ass"
No kiddin', gun slingin', spurs hittin' the floor
Call me Hoss, I'm the Boss, with the sauce and the whores
No remorse for the sheriff, in his eye I ain't right
I'm gonna paint his town red, then paint his wife white
Cause chaos, rock like Amadeus
Find West Coast pussy for my Detroit players
Mack like mayors, ball like Lakers
They told us to leave, but bet they can't make us
Why they wanna pick on me... lock me up and snort away my key
I ain't no G, I'm just a regular failure
I ain't straight outta Compton, I'm straight out the trailer
Cuss like a sailor... drink like a Mick
My only words of wisdom are just "Radio Edit"
I'm flickin' my Bic up and down that coast and
Keep on truckin' till it falls in the ocean

Cowboy
With the top let back and the sunshine shining
Cowboy
Spend all my time at Hollywood and Vine
Cowboy
Ridin' at night cause I sleep all day
Cowboy
I can smell a pig from a mile away
Cowboy
With the top let back and the sunshine shining
Cowboy
With the top let back and the sunshine shining
Cowboy
Hollywood and Vine.

It's 8am and her blood's still warm
The radio choke's out my favorite song
I hear sirens, they sing along...through the walls
My pulse is pumping to the beat outside
A violent screaming rise and shine
Waves of helplessness reach to the sky...with heartbreak eyes
And as the walls around come crashing down
I ask myself how am i still around
It's easy
It's beautiful
It's simple
The everlasting Sunday glow
I won't let you in
Don't push me away
I turn the music up a little more
Trying to drown out what's in store
There's a battle raging right outside my door...it's all over
Head downstairs
Empty table
The tv glares
A criminal has been declared..beware
And as the walls around come crashing down
I ask myself how am i still around
It's easy
It's beautiful
It's simple
The everlasting Sunday glow
I won't let you in
Time and time and time again
We seem to break before we bend
It's easy
It's beautiful
It's simple
The everlasting Sunday glow
I won't let you in
So don't push me away

I need you
Here with me
Don't take this
Too far now

Your eyes seem
So lonely
Inside you
Feel like you lost your mind

Could've been the champagne, the champagne
Could've been the cocaine, the cocaine
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Could've been a bad day, a bad day
Could've been the real way, the real way
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Through

And I miss you
All day now
I'm screaming
Inside out

Don't tempt me
'Cause I'll break you
I don't need this
And I'll burn this whole thing down

Could've been the champagne, the champagne
Could've been the cocaine, the cocaine
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Could've been a bad day, a bad day
Could've been the real way, the real way
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Through
We were through

I wish you
Would take from me
Everything
I cannot be

With eyes so blind
You cannot see
That I won't ever leave

Could've been the champagne, the champagne
Could've been the cocaine, the cocaine
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Could've been a bad day, a bad day
Could've been the real way, the real way
Could've been the way you looked at me that told me we were through
Through
We were through
Now we're through

Come and give me that Wildfire!
The uncivilized sound that I love
The primitive, like a blaze style!
Consciousness vibes I and I know
The untamed flame that I desire!
Me want uncultivated Jah glow
Foolish intensity, versatile!
He'll fly the spirit high, take me higher!

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire will never end

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire never ends

I want to feel that Wildfire!
Irregular burning of the sun
Shining through, make you spit fire!
Savage combustion, let it go
Impetuous, fervor testifier!
Outlandish passions I know
Crucial rhythms no Denial!
Musical nation, Empire!

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire will never end

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire never ends

One leads with the passion
Tribal fire will never end
The righteous will burn again
Tribal fire will never end
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire will never end
Tribal fire will never end

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire never ends

Dear mother, can you hear me whinin'?
It's been three whole weeks since I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me tremblin'
'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slum, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise

A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason, it's still now feeling like my home
and I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slum, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise

Dear mother, can you hear me laughin'?
It's been six whole months since I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason, it's still now feeling like my home
and I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slum, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise

Even with a diagram of my DNA
I leave scientists baffled 'till the end of the day
They try to pick apart my life-style and how I survive
Making money for the boss while I make nickel and dime
And being on time, takin' a punch and doin' my best
Not ever hearing, 'Good job' and staying upset
It doesn't take to much to find the sediments they left behind

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Not even with ten men holding me back
Not even with a devious planned attack
Contemplating every move that I play
Willing the bad things all away
Keeping the worry-free happiness philosophy
That's what I let them see when they try to look at me

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Don't want out

These issues arise every day
Though you try to turn your head and walk away
Though it leaves you feeling insecure
You're gonna feel your life mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

I'm in love with sombody
Found someone that completes me
I'm in love with sombody
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
And it's not you

Be now single
Now whatcha gonna do
See these lips are all done talkin to you
I don't mean to bruise your ego
But I've had you nailed down for so long
I don't see your name on my tattoo

I hope you understand
It's been a long time coming
It's for the best
No offense

I'm in love with sombody
Found someone that completes me
I'm in love with sombody
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
And it's not you

I know who you think you are
Sorry I've turned you on
But I'm kissing you off
Lines of whiskey and cigarettes
But not enough to make me forget
I got someone who has raised the bar
I heard it all before
Stop spinnin your wheels
You'll use the door
No hard feelings

I'm in love with sombody
Found someone that completes me
I'm in love with sombody
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
And it's not you

You probably never been shot down before
You probably never been shot down before
I'll try and make it easier

I'm in love with sombody
Found someone that completes me
I'm in love with sombody
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
And it's not you
It's not you
It's not you

I am at war with my absent mind
Fighting for peace and it's hard to find
Maybe tomorrow will be okay
Out of the wreck i rise today

It's easier to be medicated
Reality is i'm uneducated
Black or it's white and i'll call it gray
Out of the wreck i rise today

Fighting political ignorance
Sick of this religious impotence
Careful i don't put it on display
Out of the wreck i rise today

I want your body- i want your legs
I want your blood running through my veins
I want you to breathe every word i say
I refuse to live this way

I want to love the people you came to save
Take possession of the love you gave
I want to believe cause i know someday
Out of this world you're taking me

I am aware that im not alone
Fighting a war a little close to home
Maybe tomorrow will be okay
Out of the wreck i rise today
Out of the wreck i rise today
Out of the wreck i rise today
Out of the wreck i rise

Down under the night sky
I lay in wait
Praying to whoever will listen to me.
I'd fashioned my own cross,
Been crushed by it's weight
There's no stronger message
Then dirt in your face.

I've seen down the end of the road
Now i deal in a different story, oh
And i will never go back again
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I'll do this on my own. (o-o-oh bones, bones o-oh)

They say the spirit's willing
But the flesh is always weak
Well I found everything i needed right beneath my skin -oh

I've seen down the end of the road
Now i deal in a different story, oh
And i will never go back again
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I'll do this on my own.

[Instrumental]

We're all architects in our own private hell.
No one can hurt us like we've hurt ourselves.

I've seen down the end of the road
Now i deal in a different story, oh
I will never let go again
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I know i'm not alone (o-oh bones, bones o-oh no)

Huah!
Ahhh!

This shining city built of gold
A far cry from innocence
There's more than meets the eye
'Round here look to the waters of the deep
A city of evil

There sat a seven-headed beast
Ten horns raised from his head
Symbolic woman sits on his throne
But hatred strips her and leaves her naked
The beast and the harlot
Whoa

She's a dwelling place for demons,
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
Every filthy bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great

The city dressed in jewels and gold
Fine linen, myrrh and pearls
Her plagues will come all at once
As her mourners watch her burn
Destroyed in an hour

Merchants and captains of the world,
Sailors, navigators too
Will weep and mourn this loss
With her sins piled to the sky
The beast and the harlot
Oh

She's a dwelling place for demons,
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
Every filthy bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great

The day has come for all us sinners,
If you're not a servant you'll be struck to the ground
Flee the burning, greedy city,
Looking back on her to see there's nothin' around

I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to Hell,
You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,
You're welcome to the city where your future is set
Forever

She's a dwelling place for demons,
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
Every filthy bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great

She's a dwelling place for demons,
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
Every filthy bird and makes us drink
The poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings
Fallen now is Babylon the Great

Huah!

Every word I said is what I mean
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Virgin eyes and dirty looks
On what I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook

Now I know why you've been shaking
Now I know why you've been shaking
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
I said what's in it for me

Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel
Buying lies and stealing jokes
And laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took

Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
I said what is in it for me

Yeah!
Yo, you were that foundation
Never gonna be another one, no
I followed, so taken
So conditioned, I could never let go
Then sorrow, then sickness
Then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow, so vicious
So afraid I couldn’t let myself see

That I could never be held
Back or up no, I hold myself
Check the rep, yep, you know mine well
Forget the rest, let them know my hell
There and back, yet my soul ain’t sell
Kept respect up, the best, they fell
Let the rest be the tale they tell
That I was there saying

In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie
I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go
Go
Go

Test my will, test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Y’all go hard, I go smart
How’s that working out for y’all in the back, huh?
I’ve seen that frustration
Been crossed and lost and told no
And I’ve come back unshaken
Let down and lived and let go

So you can let it be known
I don’t hold back, I hold my own
I can’t be mapped, I can’t be cloned
I can’t C-flat, it ain’t my tone

I can’t fall back, I came too far
Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are
’Cause I was there saying

In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie
I can see through
This time I finally let you go
(Go)
(Go)
(Go)
(Go)
(Go)

No, you can tell ’em all now
I don’t back up, I don’t back down
I don’t fold up and I don’t bow
I don’t roll over, don’t know how
I don’t care where the enemies are
Can’t be stopped, all I know, go hard
Won’t forget how I got this far
For every time saying

In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie
I can see through
This time I finally let you
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)

Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go

I can't stand it, I know you planned it
I'm a' set straight, this Watergate
I can't stand rocking when I'm in here
'Cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear
So while you sit back and wonder why
I got this f***in' thorn in my side
Oh my god, it's a mirage
I'm tellin' y'all it's sabotage

So listen up 'cause you can't say nothin'
You'll shut me down with a push of your button
But I'm out and I'm gone
I'll tell you now I keep it on and on

'Cause what you see you might not get
And we can bet so don't you get souped yet
You're scheming on a thing that's a mirage
I'm trying to tell you now it's sabotage

Whyyyyyyyyyyy!?
Our backs are now against the wall
Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage
Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage
Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage
Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage

I can't stand it, I know you planned it
I'm a' set straight this Watergate
I can't stand rockin' when I'm in this place
Because I feel disgraced because you're all in my face
But make no mistakes and switch up my channel
I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle
What could it be, it's a mirage
You're scheming on a thing, that's sabotage
