Jesus Died For You lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
You may be down, you may be out
With nothing to be glad about
But you can stand right up and shout
'Cause Jesus died for you
You may think that you can't cope
You may be drunk or hooked on dope
Believe me brother, you've still got hope
'Cause Jesus died for you
Maybe you ain't got a dime
You're standing in the welfare line
Or maybe you're in prison doin your time
But Jesus died for you
Satan may have you in retreat
But you won't go down in defeat
'Cause you can sittin in the mercy seat
'Cause Jesus died for you
He died for you - to complete salvation's plan
He died for you - He's got nail scars in His hands
He bore the cross - to sanctify the lost
All you've got to do is believe it,
Get down on your knees and receive it!
You may think you're too far gone
You've sinned so bad you can't atone
But bow your head and come on home
'Cause Jesus died for you
This ol' world keeps falling apart
But you don't have to let it break your heart
You can make a brand new start
'Cause Jesus died for you
Now Satan is a mighty foe
But just stand firm because you know
You've got a better place to go
'Cause Jesus died for you
When there's trouble in the wind
Or when you face the bitter end
You can start all over again
'Cause Jesus died for you
You can face death with a smile
Laugh at all your troubles and trials
Never have to walk another lonely mile
Jesus died for you!
He died for you - to break the devil's hold
He died for you - to redeem your mortal soul
Don't be afraid - 'Cause you debt has done been paid
You just come and do your best -- The Holy Spirit's gonna do the rest!
He died for you - to complete salvation's plan
He died for you - He's got nail scars in His hands
He bore the cross - to sanctify the lost
All you've got to do is believe it,
Get down on your knees and receive it!
Makes no difference how wrong you've been
How heavy is your load of sin
The door's still open come on in
'Cause Jesus died for you
Now you may think you're too far gone
You've sinned so bad you can't atone
But bow your head and come on home
'Cause Jesus died for you
Jesus died for you
Jesus died for you
Sunday Morning lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
Sunday morning at the little church down the street
I was sitting in the congregation I was listenin' to the preacher preach
Yeah, we had a good time, love all over the place
We was talking about the blood of Jesus, singing Amazing Grace
Gave a little money, that's all I could afford
And then me and my brothers and sisters got on down to praisin' the lord, yeah
We had a good time, thinkin' about the promised land
When I got home Sunday morning, I was feeling like a brand-new man
But Monday morning, my car wouldn't start, I didn't get to work till ten
The bossman said if you want to work here, don't you ever let it happen again
There was people grumblin' and carrying on, I had to listing to all of that fuss
I'll tell you brother, it's just about enough to make a man want cuss
Went over in the corner, where there warn't nobody but me
I said thank you Jesus, because I'm not the man I used to be
I gonna make it, gonna make it through the week 'cause I know
Come Sunday morning, I'll be sitting on the very front row
Saturday evening, an old friend came by and said come on, let's go downtown
We'll find us a bar and we'll pick up some girls and do a little folling around
I said hold on buddy, I'm sure glad you came 'cause I got something I want you to see
Why don't you sit down here and let me tell you about what the lord has done for me
I said Jesus love you and he died got for your sins (Jesus loves you, died for your sins)
And if you let me, I'll be glad to lead you straight to him
We talked for a little while and I got down on my knees
Now Sunday morning, every Sunday morning
Every Sunday morning he's sittin' right here with me
On the very front row
Protected By Prayer lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
He got lost from his unit in the jungle alone
With the enemy on the advance
As the bullets & tracers flew over his head
He knew that he didn't have a chance
He fired his rifle & tried to be brave
Though his senses were frightened & numb
He lay on the ground with a lump in his throat
Cause he knew that the end would soon come
But back home a mother was down on her knees
Prayin be with my son keep him safe Father please
When it all looked so hopeless just a one-sided fight
His deliverence flew into the night
And the enemy scattered
As the chopper touched down
And lifted the soldier
Off the hard killin ground
He could feel the Lord's presence
In the hot jungle air
Surround by mercy
Protected by prayer
She had to work late she was hurryin along
Tryin to get home before dark
Against her better judgement she turned from her way
And took the shortcut that ran thru the park
With night falling quickly & no one around
From the deep shadows there stepped a man
She noticed the cold evil look in his eye & she saw the knife in his hand
She cried out Lord Jesus I'm one of your own
Send me help Lord you know I can't face this alone
As the powers of Heaven fought the forces of Hell
The man tripped & stumbled & fell
She walked thru the darkness without worry or fear
Knowin nothin could harm her cause her angel was near
No evil could touch her
No demon would dare
Surrounded by mercy
Protected by prayer
He who abides in the Almighty's shadow
Shall be kept neath his sheltering wings
Ye tho I walk thru the valley of shadow
I will not fear anything
He was a good husband & a father of two
It all began harmless enough
He started out tryin the drugs just for fun
Then he was hooked on the stuff
He was out on the street just a thief & a b__
He was dirty & out of control
But his family wouldn't give up
They cried out to God
And prayed for his lost troubled soul
Then one day a street preacher walked up to him
He said friend did you know Jesus died for your sin
I've been sent to help you find salvation's door
Ya can't live like this anymore
And the Heaven's were opened & conviction fell down
And he cried out for mercy as he knelt on the ground
When he stood up his soul was in the Good Shepherd's care
Surrounded by mercy
Protected by prayer
Surrounded by mercy
Protected by prayer
Praying To The Wrong God lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
You got you diamonds and your cadillac
Two thousand dollar suit across your back
You've got your mansion out on millionaire's row
Go all the places that the rich folks go
Your Bible is a check book and your church is a bank
You don't believe in charity and you don't give thanks
For what you've got brother that's a lot
You lie and swindle and you steal and you cheat
You throw widows and orphans right out on the street
You say when it comes to business it's alright to be tough
You think your money's enough
But you're praying to the wrong god mister
You're living for your sensual pleasures and your evil desires
Praying to the wrong god mister
One of these days it's going to eat your flesh like fire, like fire
Eat your flesh like fire
When you need answers you don't go to the Lord
You've got your tarot cards and ouija board
You put your faith in scientology, in fortune tellers and astrology
You hate your neighbors and you cheat on your wife
You say you'll make it up in your next life
You say all roads lead to the mountain top
You've got a long way to drop
And you're praying to the wrong god mister
Satan wants to blind you to the truth and tell you all is well
And you're praying to the wrong god mister
You're running down a highway leading you straight to hell, to hell
You're headed straight to hell
Two Out Of Three lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
I've been thinking back over my life,
And some of the questions I've had.
I've thought about living,
I've thought about dying.
And what makes me happy or sad.
Well most of my questions I've kept to myself,
Like, "Why in the world was I born?"
But the number one question I'd like to ask,
I'd like to ask of the Lord.
Jesus how could You love me,
Oh sweet Jesus how could You love me.
Cause when I had a choice between good and bad,
I picked bad two out of three.
What makes a man start looking around,
When he's already got a good wife.
What makes a man pour drink from a bottle,
When he knows it can cut like a knife.
Tho' some are called good,
Some are called bad,
We have all been tempted and charmed.
But all of us sinners,
The man in the sandals will welcome right back in his arms.
Jesus how could You love me,
Oh sweet Jesus how could You love me.
Cause when I had a choice between good and bad,
I picked bad two out of three.
Jesus how could You love me,
Oh sweet Jesus how could You love me.
Cause when I had a choice between good and bad,
I picked bad two out of three.
Jesus how could You love me,
Oh sweet Jesus how could You love me.
Cause when I had a choice between good and bad,
I picked bad two out of three.
End Of The World lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
Satan is our enemy, the master of evil power
He roams around like a hungry lion seeking those that he might devour
He'll tell you it's alright to sin just go on along for the ride
Then when you get depressed he'll say the answer is suicide
Don't you listen to him, he leads you down to ruin
He prays on your weakness and your sinfulness desires
He knows God's clock is running, he knows his time is coming
When he'll be cast out into the everlasting fire
Yes, God created the place of torment that all the evil will share
But it's meant for Satan and his angels, you're not supposed to be there
So if you're following the devil, you better heed this message well
That path you're travelin' down is just a one way street to hell
He's the father of confusion, his way is just delusion
He'll blind you with flashes that would cause your head to whirl
Think about the way you're living if you're among the unforgiven
What you're gonna do if it comes down to the end of the world
It's coming by and by
It's gonna happen in the twinkling of an eye
Where will you be standing, on his left or right?
Bound for eternal joy or for eternal night
You know God's door is standing open, oh, won't you come on in
Just say, Jesus Christ I need you, please forgive me and my sins
Now, he'll give you joy and peace of mind because he loves you so much
And those that he holds in his hands the devil cannot touch
Then tell another sinner, I just became a winner
Believe it in your heart, confess it with your tongue
And you don't have to worry, God is the judge and jury
You've escaped the devil and awesome time to come
It's coming by and by
It's gonna happen in the twinkling of an eye
Where will you be standing, on his left or right?
Bound for eternal joy or for eternal night
It's coming by and by
It's gonna happen in the twinkling of an eye
Where will you be standing, on his left or right?
Bound for eternal joy or for eternal night
Talking 'bout the end of the world
Jerusalem Trilogy: My Chosen One lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
Many, many years ago God came to Abraham
He said I've chosen you to carry out my plan
Gather up your household and prepare to leave this land
You will not live here anymore
I will lead you to a new land by and by
Your heards will increase and your seed will multiply
They shall be as plentiful as stars up in the skies
And sands upon the shores
Honor my name and do the things I tell you to
And I will make a mighty nation of you
The throne of David will shine forever brighter than the sun
For my chosen one
But Israel forsook the righteous path their fathers tried
They bowed down to idols and they worshiped other gods
But Jehovah in his mercy withheld his vengeful rod
And let a remnant remain
And then the Romans came and took Jerusalem
And God could hear his people crying out to him
They in their bondage were remorseful in their pain
They were repentant in their sins
So sunset followed sunrise and the centuries unfold
Then came the season that the prophets had foretold
Israel, you've waited for so long, now the time has finally come
For my chosen one
Jerusalem Trilogy: Crucify Him lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
This man who stands before you isn't what he claims to be
He's even had the nerve to criticize us Pharisees
We are the keepers of the law, the righteous of the land
He slandered and blasphemed God, he is an evil man
Crucify him, you know he's lying
If you are who you say you are, you will have to pay the cost
Crucify him, we don't know him
That'll show him, if you are the son of God why don't you come down off of that cross
We've taken him to Herod and we've brought him back again
How can you say it, Pilate, that you find no fault in him
Sir, you must condemn this man, the people want him dead
So let the blood be on our hands and on our children's heads
Crucify him, you know he's lying
If you are who you say you are, you will have to pay the cost
Crucify him, we don't know him
That'll show him, if you are the son of God why don't you come down off of that cross
All Night Long lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
Well the party started early bout a quarter till three
Just a few close friends and my baby and me
We just got started when somebody asked
How long you think this party's goin' to last
We said all night long all night long
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin' goin' to boogie woogie all night long
Well the next door neighbors started raisin' a fuss
Said you had a party and didn't call us
I said put on your dancin' shoes and come along
We'll be here till the cows come home
And that's all night long said all night long
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin' goin' to boogie woogie all night long
Well they're jumpin' through the windows sneaking down the halls
Dancing on the ceilin' dancin' on the wall
The last thing I remember before the lights went out
I jumped up on the table and I started to shout
I said all night long all night long
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin' goin' to boogie woogie all night long
I said all night long all night long I said all night long all night long
I said all night long all night long I mean all night long all night long
We'll be rocking we'll be rolling going to boogie woogie all night
Yeah I said all night long honey all night long
Dancing all night long I said all night long
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin' goin' to boogie woogie all night long
I said all night long I said all night long
I said all night long rockin' all night long
We'll be rockin' we'll be rollin' goin' to boogie woogie all night long
Troubles Of My Own lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
I was mindin' my business the other day just jukin' on down the street
When I seen this perfect stranger and he come slidin' up next to me
He said friend my old lady just threw me out and why I just don't know
But it ain't no joke cause I'm hungry and broke I got no place to go
I gave him my last twenty dollar bill and told him to go on home
And leave me alone
I don't want nobody whinin' at me I don't need nobody moanin' to me
I don't want nobody cryin' on me I've got troubles of my own
Well I went on down to this joint in town and found somethin' I didn't expect
I was having a ball when the door flew open and who walked in but my ex
She said your alimony payments' way behind it's six months over due
And if you don't straighten this out right now I'm gonna call the law to you
I said baby you'd better remember every dog's gonna have his day
And I just want to say
I don't want nobody whinin' at me...
The cops came through the front door and I went out the back
And I caught me a ride on a west bound freight train rollin' down the railroad track
I went on out to east St Louis and looked up this old friend of mine
I said I need a place to lay my head and brother I ain't got a dime
He said you'd better get on outta here hoy and he pulled out a gun
And I started to run
I don't want nobody whinin' at me...
I don't want nobody whinin' at me...
Tennessee Two Step lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
There's a dance they do down in Tennessee
It's just as simple as one two three
The old folks do it and the young folks too
Your little brother Billy and your old Aunt Sue
It's just a hillbilly rhythm with a touch of the blues
It ain't nothin' but a simple little country song
Keep movin' to the music and you can't go wrong
Do the Tennessee two step all night long
They do it down in Memphis on a Saturday night
And them folks in Chattanooga think it's outta sight
Down in Music City it's all the rage
They do it on the Grand Old Opry stage
Even heard them talkin' bout it on Crook and Chase
They say it even makes the Smoky Mountains smoke
Like wildfire spreadin' everywhere you go
And it's a Tennessee two step they do it on a hardwood floor
I said the Tennessee two step one time you're gonna holler for more
You put your right foot forward and your left foot back
Start a little wiggle in your sacroiliac
And that's a Tennessee two step they do it on a hardwood floor
From the Mississippi River to the Cumberland Gap
They don't want to hear no rock any they don't want to hear no rap
Tennessee people like to do it up proud
They turn the lights down low the music up loud
Grab yourself a partner and follow the crowd
Everybody's smilin' cause they're feeling fine
Get yoursell together in a big long line
To a Tennessee two step they do it on a hardwood floor
I said the Tennessee two step one time you're gonna holler for more
You put your right foot forward...
They say it even makes the Smoky Mountains smoke...
You put your right foot forward...
I said a Tennessee two step they do it on a hardwood floor
I said do it on a hardwood floor
The Girl Next Door lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
Almost all of my life every day and every night
The only thing that I could think of
Was doing all I could do to find me a true blue
A foxy little lady to love
I looked uptown downtown looking all around town
Searching and trying so hard
Looking for the right face but looking in the wrong place
I should have looked in my back yard
Cause I found everything I was a looking for
When I fell in love with the pretty little girl next door
She went away to college to get herself some knowledge
She just got back a month ago
She had changed a whole lot I found out she was not
That little girl I used to know
As little freckled faced tomboy who used to make a lot of noise
Running around the neighborhood
Was sitting on the front porch in a pair of short shorts
And buddy she was looking good
I got what I want I'll never ask for more
When I fell in love with the pretty little girl next door
We're gonna move way out to a little biddy town
Where the living is nice and slow
Where they ain't got nothing but a general store
One street and a picture show
I hope we have a little boy gonna be my pride and joy
Raise him by the golden rule
Watch him while he grows tall fishing poles and football
Apple pie and Sunday school
So goodbye bright lights single bars and wild nights
Goodbye all you partying girls
You can't find what I've got in honky tonks and night spots
And I wouldn't trade it for the world
Tell the boys at the hideaway I hope they had a nice day
Tell them all I said goodbye
I would've dropped around but I'm going out of town
And besides I've got a ring to buy
So long old friend I'm headed out the door
With my blue eyed ever loving pretty little girl next door the girl next door
I got all I want I'll never ask for more
When I fell in love with the pretty little girl next door I said the girl next door
I'm talking bout the girl that foxy little girl that pretty little girl next door
I'm talking bout the girl that foxy little girl that pretty little girl next door
I'm talking bout the girl that foxy little girl that pretty little girl next door
I'm talking bout the girl that foxy little girl that pretty little girl next door
America, I Believe In You lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
We got some trouble in our own back yard.
Things are are kinda tough, times are kinda hard.
Got a lot of people livin' out in the street, people goin' hungry without nothin' to eat,
and in this land of plenty, this souldn't be goin' on.
We got enough for everybody we just gonna have to pass it along.
Well I'm glad about the fall of communism, I'm glad about the
Berlin wall, and I like seein' old Saddam bite the dust, in fact I'm glad about it all.
And I believe in helping everybody,
but when it comes to all them foreign loans,
I think we oughta remember that charity begins at home.
Yes it starts right now in (America, America,)
I know the sun is risin' on a better day.
(America, America,) we got the power and we know the way.
(America, America,) well let me say a few words about the Red, White, and Blue.
(America, America,) I know you're gonna do it I believe in you.
Now I been tryin' to figure this out, but there's somethin' that I just don't know.
How can you make things better when you
take our jobs, and send 'um down to Mexico?
And then there was this big shot, from the land of the risin' sun.
He said the workin' people in America were lazy and dumb.
Well let me tell you somethin' Jack.
The next time I go on a shopping trip, and take somethin' off of the rack,
if it don't say, "Made in the U.S.A." I'm just gonna put it back.
We can't leave it to the politicians, cause they don't do nothin' but talk,
and it's we the people that are gonna have to walk the walk.
And we can do it right now in (America, America,)
hey I know the sun is risin' on a better day.
(America, America,) yeah we got the power and we know the way.
(America, America,) now let me say a few words about the Red, White, and Blue.
(America, America,) I know you're gonna do it I believe in you.
Well we got the best dang farmers in the whole wide world.
The fastest horses and the prettiest girls. We got the Army, the
Navy, Air Force, and Marines, the mightiest fightin' force the world's ever seen.
We the kinda people that can get thins done,
We're servin' notice that we're still number one.
We got the nerve (We got the nerve.), we got the will,
(We got the will.), we are all together cause you know that we are still.
(America, America,) well I know the sun is risin' it's a risin' on a better day.
(America, America,) hey, hey we got the power and we know the way.
(America, America,) now let me say a few words about the Red, White, and Blue.
(America, America,) cause I believe in you.
Juanita lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
At a quarter half to four
You came sneaking through the door
Ain't no time for a married woman to get home
In your suede cotton dress
With your lipstick all the mess
You keep tellin' me, you ain't done nothing wrong
Baby, I've got news for you
I've been down that river too
And I think I know the story when I hear one
Yes and lady, just one more thing
Think you better give me back my ring
'Cause when you wake up to see then I'll be gone
Yeah, mama
There goin' be nobody here to keep you home
'Cause you've been cheating again, Juanita
Ain't no need tellin' me another lie
You've been cheating again Juanita
I can see the eagerness in your eyes
You just don't act like an innocent woman
And these crocodile tears are gonna cause you to drown
You've been cheating again, Juanita
I'm gonna do it may way, gonna take the highway down
You can have that fancy car, all I want is my guitar
You can have the bank account and all the rest
And I don't need your alibis, I got bigger fish to fry
Reservations on a jet plane heading west
Yeah, mama, little girl, you might as well
Just save your breath
'Cause you'll be cheating again, Juanita
Ain't no need tellin' me another lie
You'll be cheating again, Juanita
I can see the eagerness in your eyes
You just don't act like an innocent woman
And them crocodile tears are gonna cause you to drown
You've been cheating again, Juanita
Gonna do it my way, gonna take the highway down
You've been cheating again Juanita
Gonna do it my way, gonna take the highway down
Do it now, yeah, you've been cheating again, Juanita
Sweet Little Country Girl lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
Well I've got me a sweet little country girl
She's across between a diamond and a pearl
There ain't nobody like my sweet little country girl
She's a little bitty booger she just stands about five feet tall
She hails from Dixie and she talks with a southern drawl
I just love to hear her when she says good morning y'all
Sweet little country girl the apple of my eye
Sweet little country girl I'll love her till the day I die
She's got country in her soul but she loves to rock and roll
Well she's sure double tough and I can't get enough
Of my sweet little country girl
Now don't think she's slow cause she lives out on the rural route
She's a hip little lady and she knows what it's all about
And if there's somethin' happenin' she don't mind checking it out
Sweet little country girl the apple of my eye...
Sweet little country girl the apple of my eye...
Alley Cat lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
Every night downtown on the streets of the city
When the midnight hour is comin' on
You'll see her come slinkin' down the alley in a tight dress
She'll walk them streets till the break of dawn
Well she'll slip away fore the sun starts rising
When the daylight comes she's gonna be long gone
Don't you ever come down here looking for trouble
Cause trouble is the ladies' middle name
You may think you're bad but let me tell you somethin'
There ain't no way you're gonna play her game
She'll make you feel like a fool with a hole in your pocket
Like you've been run over by a choo choo train
She purrs and she growls and she rambles and she prowls
And she's evil and she's mean like a misery machine
She's a little bit of this and a whole lot of that like an alley cat
Better stay away from the midnight lady
She'll leave you standing on the corner with a mess of the blues
She's an accident looking for a place to happen
She'll make you an offer that you can't refuse
If she ever gets them claws into you
She'll turn you every which a way but loose
And she purrs and she growls...
Well she purrs and she growls...
What You Gonna Do About Me lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
You told me that your honky tonking days were through
But you came in this morning at a quarter till two
Oh baby what you gonna do about me
You said that fling with Johnny was a one night stand
How come I seen him sitting with you holding your hand
Oh baby what you gonna do about me
What you gonna do about me
How come you treat me like an old hound dog
I feel as helpless as a knot on a log
And you ain't got no sympathy for me
I ain't telling no lie
You sure know how to make a grown man cry
Oh oh baby what you gonna do about me
I let you use my car you said it's just for a day
But you stayed gone a month and turned up out in LA
Oh baby what you gonna do about me
I said I've had enough I'm gonna take back my ring
Then I found out that you'd done gone and pawned the thing
Oh baby what you gonna do about me
What you gonna do about me
That's something that you'd better think about
One of these days you're gonna wear me out
And you'll be sorry wait and see wait and see
There's gonna come a time
You'll realize a good man's hard to find
Oh oh baby what you gonna do about me
Oh oh baby what you gonna do about me
San Miguel lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
Down near the village of old San Miguel
In a far away place by the sea
Lived Maria Consuela Manuel
A lady of high born degree
And she was sixteen a proud woman child
And I was a cowboy rambunctious and wild
But we fell in love by the tall mission bell
That stands in the village of old San Miguel
Her father was master of all he surveyed
As rich as a king on his throne
When he found out about us he flew into a rage
And told me to leave her alone
He threatened my life and told all his man
This gringo must never see Maria again
But I found a way and I sent her a note
And I still remember all the words that I wrote
Meet me Maria in the cool of the evening
We'll slip away into the night
We'll cross the border at Nuevo Laredo
And together we'll start a new life
There's nothing here but heartaches and tears
And I don't even feel like a man
I'll saddle the horses and wait by the old Spanish trail
We'll leave our troubles behind us in old San Miguel
She slipped out of the shadows and into my arms
As the clock in the village struck ten
We crept through the alleys to the north side of town
And rode into the night like the wind
A full moon was shinin' the desert was still
Then I saw the vacaros ridin' over the hill
The rifle shots rang out the horses went down
And I saw Maria lyin' still on the ground
I knew the bullets had been meant for me
And the riders were comin' on fast
As I held her I knew by the look in her eyes
That she'd soon be breathin' her last
I whispered a prayer to heaven above
'Cause the good Lord has mercy on people in love
Then she closed her eyes forever more
Via condios adios mi amore
Meet me Maria in the cool of the evening
We'll fly away into the night
We'll drift through the sky to sweet by and by
And together we'll find a new life
There's nothing here but heartaches and tears
And I don't even feel like a man
Wait in the moon light just over the old Spanish trail
We'll leave our troubles below us in old San Miguel
Meet me Maria in the cool of the evening...
Susie Q lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
(from "Susie's Hope" soundtrack)

The Intimidator lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
Talladega, Alabama, hot day in the fall
Yeah, it's pedal to the metal keep it off the wall
Darrell's passing marlin and Jeff just took the lead
He's burning up the track but look out
Here comes number three
He's moving to the inside listen to that engine howl
Just move it on over the intimidator's on the prowl
Push it down and stand on it put it on the floor
Roaring down the backstretch blowing off their doors
Eating up the asphalt and chewing up the miles
They're bringing out the checkered flag
The crowd is going wild
Carolina country boy could always find a way to win
Y'all wave bye bye
The intimidator's done it again
The man meant business when he got behind the wheel
Eye like an eagle and nerves made of steel
Speed is the bottom line and winning is the deal
(Let her whine) Let her whine
(Man he's flyin') Man he's flyin'
(Finish line) Finish line
One more time
You're burning down the straight away putting on a show
Leading by a length with only 20 laps to go
You almost got this sucker won engines running great
But don't you look in your rearview mirror here comes number eight
He's a rockin' and a rollin' and he sure knows how to shut them down
I guess it runs in the family the intimidator's back in town
Yeah, I guess it runs in the family the intimidator's back in town
Bad boy
Stand on it, son
Yeah
Twas The Night Before Christmas lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
while visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.
And Mama in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap.
When out on the roof there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
gave the lustre of midday to objects below,
when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came,
and he whistled and shouted and called them by name:
"Now Dasher! Now Dancer!
Now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid!
On, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch!
To the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away!
Dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky
so up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
with the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
the prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head and was turning around,
down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
and he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes--how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
and the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
and the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
that shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
and I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
and filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of sight,
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
