He’s Alive
Oh yeah, all right I do believe in you more than myself I can depend on you when I need help So when I tell you, please understand That I do love you, love you man to man
Oh yeah, all right I remember oh so well when the times were bad If I needed anything, you'd give me all you had And when the troubles came you were by my side You said use God as your guide my son don't you know He's alive, He's alive
Oh yeah But now you have gone and I'm on my own But I realize one thing, one man is never alone But I wish that you were here right by my side I would love to tell you that I know He's alive, He’s alive Oh yeah, all right Ain't Too Proud To Pray
I heard a voice and saw the face and I know He was there. The road that flowed around my bed and I felt no pain. You can talk about the help you need. He’s a friend indeed, just open your heart and let Him walk in and He will set you free We’ll it took them away All the troubles and the pain Oh Ooh You can call me a fool but I know He was there Yes I know He was there The night I had has long since gone But the memory stayed And now Mr. Trouble when you come my way I’m not too proud to pray Yes He took them away All the troubles and the pain Oh Ooh you can call me a fool But I know He was there Yes I know He was there Well it took them away all the troubles and the pain Oh you can call me a fool but I know He was there Yes I know He was there The night I had has long since gone but the memory stayed And now Mr. Trouble when you come my way I’m not too proud to pray
Four Walls of Raiford
Well them four walls of Raiford, closing in on me Doin' three to five hard labor, for armed robbery I had two years behind, but I could not wait the time Everytime I thought about it, well I died some more inside
And I had stripes on my back, memories that hurt For the only time I seen sunshine is when I hit the dirt Diggin ditches for the chain gang, sleepin in the cold Oh lord please forgive me for I could not wait no more
And I comin' home to see you jesus Well it feels so close this time Please take mercy on this soldier From the Florida-Georgia line
When they find me they must kill me Oh jesus save my soul I cant go back down to Raiford I cant take that anymore
Well these last few years behind me Oh lord, have been so sad I fought proudly for my country when the times were bad Now they say Im guilty, when they find me I must die Only me and jesus know that I never stole a dime
Well when Vietnam was over there was no work here for me I had a pretty wife awaitin and two kids I had to feed Well Im one of americas heroes and when they shoot me down Wont fly old glory proudly, put my medals in the ground
And I comin home to see you jesus Well it feels so close this time Please take mercy on this soldier From the Florida-Georgia line
When they find me they must kill me Oh jesus save my soul I cant go back down to Raiford I cant take that anymore
***NOTE*** The Four Walls of Raiford was written for Ronnie Van Zants life long friend and Body Guard, Gene Odom's brother that was serving time at Raiford.
Mama (Afraid to Say Goodbye)
She'd wake us up early every mornin' She'd help us say our prayers every night She was always there to help us through the hard times We could count on her to make everything alright
I remember swingin on the front porch Papa said theres somethin I need to say tonight Mamas been sick for a long time Lets pray to God she can make it through the night
(chorus) Mama I don't wanna say goodbye She said wipe those tears from your eyes Mama I don't wanna say goodbye It was written in the heavens and the skies above Son I gave you birth showed you all my love I can't think of this life without you its hard to try Mama I'm afraid to say goodbye
Now kids I've been hangin on a long time I hate to leave this world before your grown Remember everything that I've taught you Remember all the good times when I'm gone
(repeat chorus)
She whispered in my ear before she passed away Son its time to be a man ain't nothin' left to say Jesus walked on water I know its true When it comes time to call you home I hope your ready too
