Normally a cola guy,
But I'm gonna give something else a try.
I'm drinkin' Mountain Dew tonight.
4 o'clock in the AM,
Usually watch re-runs of Roseanne,
But I'm turning the TV off.
Gonna do things a bit different this time.
Gotta gain a new perspective.
Gotta journey down the road I've least traveled on.
Gotta write some brand new songs.

The Free Bird Song
00:27
|

There's one in every crowd,
And he's always really loud,
Standing up there on his bar stool,
And he's probably drunk.
He yells Free Bird, I say no.
He yells Free Bird, I say no.
He yells Free Bird and I tell him to shut up.

Out here on the corner,
Just trying to make a buck.
All the troubles in the world
Got me down on my luck.
These people keep walking on by.
Some throw money in my hat.
Others just keep on walking.
Well, I expected that.
And I know
That playing on the corner won't
Get me anywhere
And I know
That it might not be that good,
But it makes me feel alright.
Out here on the corner,
Same shit just a different day.
Same people keep walking on by.
Some throw money my way.
Others just keep on walking
As if they have some place to go.
Feels like I have no place to go to.
Feels like I have no home.
And I know
That playing on the corner won't
Get me anywhere
And I know
That it might not be that good,
But it makes me feel alright.

When I was younger
My mother told me
That I could be anything that I wanted to be.
But she was wrong.
There are so many things that
I will never be.
Like I will never be your man.
I will never hold your hand.
You will never be my girl.
Not so long as we live in this cruel world.
When I was younger
The movies told me
That love would be so romantic.
But they were wrong.
It's not like that.
It never works out like you planned it.
And I will never be your man.
I will never hold your hand.
You will never be my girl.
Not so long as we live in this cruel world.

Open a magazine.
Turn it to page 59.
Read the article and everything is fine.
But don't forget to read,
Read in between the lines.
That's where it's saying I love you.
Read between the lines
Of all of my actions.
Read between the lines.
Read between the lines
Of all of the things I say.
Read between the lines.
Hidden in the words,
Covered by the metaphors
Bringing meaning to lines that don't make sense.
And don't forget to read,
Read all the captions,
Bringing meaning to the illustrations.
Read between the lines
Of all of my actions.
Read between the lines.
Read between the lines
Of all of the things I say.
Read between the lines.
Open a magazine,
Turn it to page 59.
That's where it's saying I love you.

Sometimes it feels you're so full of hate
When you're living in a small town.
Sometimes it feels like you can't get away
When you're living in a small town.
Sometimes it feels like you're stuck in your fate
When you're living in a small town.
Sometimes it feels like you won't get away
When you're living in a small town.
But if heaven and hell are your only concerns
Then you might have missed the point of salvation.
Starts in your soul, but it can't stop there.
Bring freedom to all the nations.
Bring freedom to all the nations.
Bring freedom to all the nations.
Bring freedom to all the nations.

If I had a little money
I could buy a monster truck.
You could climb up in my cab
And check out my cool stuff.
If I had a little confidence
Then I could win you over,
But I don't so I'll go home
And hang out in my room.
And dream about you and me,
Dream about you and me,
Dream about you and me in monster trucks.
Dream about you and me,
Dream about you and me,
Dream about you and me in monster trucks.
Dream about you and me,
Dream about you and me,
Dream about you and me in monster trucks.
Dream about you and me,
Dream about you and me,
Dream about you and me in monster trucks.

Your birthday
Is a really good day
To see how many friends
You don't have on Facebook
When they
Leave their comments on your wall
Too bad they never even
Cared enough to call.
But that's just how it goes
I suppose.
And Christmas
Is the perfect time to see
The worst side of everyone's
Jealousy and greed,
And they
Have the nerve to say
They're doing all of this
In Jesus' holy name.
But that's just how it goes
I suppose.

Nobody was playing with me so I played with myself. I couldn't do music good so I made the songs short. I couldn't be Ben Shin so I became Not Ben Shin.
