Waitin' for my piece of the pie
It takes too long for dad to die
Want to worship at the alter where the world has knealt
The saint and the sinner stuck on the fence
Don't matter what you're giving
This world don't owe you a living
I ran out of dad's cash, friends for sale can't last
The saint and the sinner stuck on the fence
Lord have mercy
Have mercy on me
Broke and hungry with friends all gone
Career that's peaking feeding hogs
Nothing's as simple as it seems, I got to live my dream
The saint and the sinner stuck on the fence
Why don't I just get up and head for home, I'm dying here
So many questions like "What if" and "Why"
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, have mercy on me
The saint and the sinner stuck on the fence
Lord have mercy
Have mercy on me

Reverence

There once was a time and place
Though it may be past
Where heroes stood both proud and tall
And never were harrassed
They stood against the test of time
And questions fools would ask
But reverence doesn't live here anymore
You had a lucky birthday
Got to miss the draft
There are 60 year old men
Who can't talk about that
They did what they were asked
We should be thanking them
But reverence doesn't live here anymore
Chorus:
Doubted by those people
Who have never fought a fight
Their courage being questioned
Like some thief in the night
Some how we've lost our way
On what's wrong, what is right
No matter what you say or do
They still stand for you
The horrors of battle
Have injured them deeply
While we weren't there
They guard our freedom
Some want to kill us
God here our prayers
How can we reduce our God
Down to the man upstairs?
And then we wonder
If He really cares
Instead we should be thanking Him
For all the sin He bears
But reverence doesn't live here anymore

I don't want to hurt nobody
Don't want no one hurtin me
The things I do for love and recognition
I don't think they come to me for free
Competition for affection
Sometimes really drives me mad
I just want someone to see me
I don't care if it's good or it's bad
Perfection has it's own advantage
Working hard does comfort me
Awards and gold get my attention
But Lonliness won't set me free

My Boots are in Texas

In my heart I know...Texan's know their way
They stand by their word...and do just what they say
The Alamo's heros...drew that line in the sand
They showed us all the way...that a man takes a stand
And I say God bless Texas
Heck these folks might secede
Yes I say God bless Texas
But I still miss Tennessee
They got good whiskey...poured over clean ice
And High school football...under friday night lights
The men stick to the basics...what is wrong and what's right
The women sure are pretty...out on a saturday night
You can run hard and you can run far
You can't out run whoever you are
Wherever you go, well that's where you'll be
My boots are in Texas but my heart's in Tennessee
You know just what you know...cause you learned it first hand
And I'm sad to say...it's time to move on again
Pick another city...got new friends to see
Man I got to tell ya...I'm sure missing sweet tea...

Shadow People

Looking through the window at the people there inside
Staying in the shadows where it't safe for me to hide
Hoping for acceptance, trying to fit in
A shadow at the window on the ouside looking in
Walk along the lonely halls inside the Christian school
Never understanding what it takes to make me cool
Hoping for survival, trying to fit in
A shadow at the window on the outside looking in
Is there not a man of worth who'll fight for me today?
Do I have to face a beating each and every day?
Gay, fat, and ugly - that's what you say
What did I ever do for you to treat me this way?
Sitting during lunch alone eyes cast down, courage gone
Longing for attention but not wanting to be seen
Hoping for acceptance, trying to fit in
A Shadow at the window on the outside looking in
Do you hear me talking, do you hear my voice?
Do I have a say in this, is there any choice?
I could just end this, yes I could end this
Shadow at the window on the outside looking in
