LYRICS:
We are gathered here today not to commiserate but to celebrate the life and the music of Boogie Fleetwood Jr. Can I get a hell yeah?
The Reverend said "You must have faith in the spirit"
A serpent wrapped around his forearm
they spoke in tongues passed around glass jars of poison
eyes rolled back inside they head
My young bride said "I want to be affluent, Boogie"
But I'm just a poor boy don't know what she means
I'll do my best, I'll work real hard now
To make a better life for you and me
They said "Boy you're not above your raising"
"Get back here where you belong"
I said "Hell no, I'm going around the world and sing this song"

Paper Mill

Paper mill paper mill
I see your smoke stack sits high in the sky
But what is that smell?
Will those emissions make my flowers wilt and die?
that’s just the smell of money, son
In this town that’s the smell of money
Paper mill paper mill
I see your smoke clouds floating above a school yard down the street
what the hell? You know they smell it when they breath
what are you doing to all those trees to get that smell?
Paper mill paper mill
Seems like you got the best jobs around
And I need that paper
So I can take my pretty little girl out on this big old stinkin’ town

Hustle and Grind
06:12

Wake up kids rise and shine it’s another day to hustle and grind
If something hurts you pay it no mind, put your boots on lets go toe the line
Theyre gonna give you money for your time
Just another day, of hustle and grind
Sure is easy to get left behind when you’re struggling just to get by
Life only intensifies as we move further on down the line
You need a soft bed and a study spine and a whole bunch grit and tough shits
To go with your grind your hustle and grind
Cause everyday we’re hustlin’ trying to make those ends
Doing the best that we can
To meet all of those demands
Whether its 9 to 5 trick work or overtime
There are no short cuts just a hustle and grind
Working like a dog gets pretty rough and you never get paid enough
Your tired of kissing butt your stick in a rut you could use a leg up
Stress kicks you in the gut but you cant be giving up hell no
You got responsibilities to be right on
Its up to me to keep these lights on
So you reach on down deep inside of you and you do what you have to do
You sweat for a paycheck make another man money
But you want thrills not bills are you over the hill with your feet stuck firm?
Too many holes to fill, the blood you spill, the bitter pill
But you aint got time to bleed cause you got mouths to feed
so you ignore the pain and do the deed cause the cost of livings gone way up
so you hustle and grind for a few bucks

running full steam i'm a freight train
I never mess with love cause I hate pain
Never stick around to see a new day cause girl I'm gone
I like to run around with the wrong crowd
Trouble follows me like a dark cloud
But I always knew when it was time to get out of town
and that's when I see your pretty face
and I know that I am the right place
I like being your man but don't go making a bunch of plans
cause I probably wont love you forever but I'll love you for as long as I can
and then I'm gone
Theres a whole lotta miles between here and there
I'm a wild comet burning through this atmosphere
If theres one thing let me make this perfectly clear
I aint the type of guy to settle down
I love em and leave em then I get on out of town
I need to let you know how I am
I get around

God Guns And Weed
04:09

Walking through the foothills of Appalachia
With Mama’s homegrown and Daddy’s Winchestor
I had a little issue with the law
The came and took it all away from me
Now were stockpiling bullets and planting seed
God guns and weed
Politician can kiss my ass, gives us laws that we don’t need
It’s a power grab in a world gone mad with opportunity and greed
What I do on my land ought to be my business
As God as my witness I never hurt nobody
why am I suspicious?

Every now and then things come to an end then new things begin
Yeah that’s just how it is
People come together then they fall apart it tears out your heart then new things start
And you move on with it
I can see the writing on the wall
We had some good times honey
We even had ourselves a ball
But even Rome had to fall
Yeah it looks like the good times are gone
All of our progress has stalled
So im just hoping for a little change is all
Yeah that’s all
Things people do leaves us all confused
so we pack up our bags and make a different move
thinking what else can I do?
Life has a way of rearranging things
so you hold on and hope everything is gonna be ok

Through With Love
03:51

How many times must one heart mend?
I promise myself this wouldn't happen again
What was I thinking of?
I've had it up to here...I'm through with love
You'd think I woulda learned my lesson well
But I keep getting put under that same old spell
I may need some help from above
I mean it this time
I'm through with love
How many tears must I cry?
How many beers must I buy for this heartache to go away?
It's much too much
I mean it this time
I'm through with love
well I think I may have spoke too soon
you'll never believe what just walked in the room
I may need some help from above
I guess I'm just a fool who cant get enough
I'm just a fool for love
It aint nothing new I'm just a fool
I'll never be through with love

Pretty On The Inside
03:53

I see you checking her out, Hoss…
I know you like the way she looks she carries herself very well
But is she pretty on the inside? Sometimes is just so hard to tell.
Because credit cards buy brand new clothes
The better she looks the less she needs to know
Is she pretty on the inside or is all that beauty just for show?
I see she’s got perfect make up, expensive shoes, designer bags, a new tattoo
A cute little dress and those big fake boobs
so easy on the eyes what’s a boy to do?
But is she genuine and generous?
Does she care about those less fortunate or does she look down her nose at the rest of us?
Is she classy, Hoss? Or is she scandalous?
Is she honest or she notorious?
Is she easy going or is she high maintenance?
Does she get her done or does she put up a fuss?
You know beauty is as beauty does.
You see a pretty girl in an ugly world but Hoss maybe she’s just an ugly girl
It’s a superficial world

Someone To Love On
04:06

Sit down in that chair son I got a little story for you
Some old sage advice to help you get through
This cold harsh life
No one is gonna give you anything but a bunch of flack
So you’re gonna need someone to love on
Someone to love you back
Life aint fair son it never was
Somebody is gonna bring you down
Just because that’s just the way some people are and that’s a fact
You ever think about things like where you want to be?
20 years from now, son can you see that far away and whatchu think about that?
Id hate to see you live without love in your life
Trust me son you don’t want those lonely nights
Mama would be so proud of you if she were still here
She’d tell you to be yourself son work hard and have no fear
Yeah she’d probably say something like that

Will You Be Satisfied
04:06

know you got some questions
If you are alive you’ve got a few
But there’s one question that seems to be on everybody’s mind
What happens when I die?
Well I know what happens when you die.
I don’t know where you are going to go but I know what happens when you die
The world it keeps spinning around
So what do you want out of life?
What if it don’t get any better than this?
Will you be satisfied?
Just hanging around singing the blues
Acting like you got nothing to lose
But time aint on your side and it makes us choose
And you wonder how you ever even got in this place
You take a look around and you’re in the middle of a rat race
Doing your best just to keep pace
One foot in front of the other so you don’t fall flat on your face
And you wonder how you’ll ever get there from here
The future is uncertain and nothing is clear
You doing best but does anybody care?
Someday youll be gone, maybe ill see you there
