Backroads and Barstools

[Verse] Two boys from Ohio with muscles to flex, Posting on the internet, causing car wrecks. With scented candles and boxing gloves on tight, They’re fighting for clicks in the dead of night. [Verse 2] Logan's on a mission, stirring up the pot, Whether in a forest or in some fake feuds he’s got. Jake’s out here strutting, trying to bust a rhyme, But it just sounds like nonsense every single time. [Chorus] Oh, brothers and buffoons, dancing for the views, Acting like stars but got nothing to lose. Chasing every dollar, causing online spats, Everybody’s laughing at their cowboy hats. [Verse 3] From YouTube to the ring, taking every dare, They’ve got a million followers, but does anyone care? Logan’s got that podcast, talking lots of smack, While Jake’s making headlines with some cringe attack. [Verse 4] They’ve been pulling stunts since we can recall, Selling merch and tickets, trying to stand tall. But when the lights go down and they’re all alone, Are they left with anything more than just their phone? [Chorus] Oh, brothers and buffoons, dancing for the views, Acting like stars but got nothing to lose. Chasing every dollar, causing online spats, Everybody’s laughing at their cowboy hats.

[Verse] Underneath the clear blue sky, she hides her gray, In a small-town whisper where the pain won't stay, Bruises bloom like roses, she can't find her way, But love shouldn't feel like this, it shouldn't ache each day. [Verse 2] She dreams of open fields where corn grows tall, Where her heart's unburdened, answers freedom's call, She needs to break those chains, her courage won't be small, His words can't bind her spirit, she will rise, won't fall. [Chorus] Girl, you deserve the light, not these shadows in the night, Stand up and find your strength, to set your wrongs to right, Leave behind the darkness, walk towards the bright, Your heart beats for a love that's pure, not one filled with fright. [Verse 3] Her mama used to tell her, "Good men raise you high," Not drag you through the dirt or make you cry, She's got that spark inside her, can't let it die, She'll find her wings and learn once more to fly. [Verse 4] She's packing up her memories and holding tight, To every bit of hope that shines so bright, She'll reach out for tomorrow and find it's right, Gonna find a love that treats her heart polite. [Chorus] Girl, you deserve the light, not these shadows in the night, Stand up and find your strength, to set your wrongs to right, Leave behind the darkness, walk towards the bright, Your heart beats for a love that's pure, not one filled with fright.

[Verse] Little Jimmy’s sitting with his eyes all glued, To a screen with a glow, that’s his attitude. Momma's in the kitchen, scrolling too, Family dinner's turning into something new. [Chorus] Oh, they've got the screen time blues, iPads and phones, it’s what they choose. No more playing in the yard or climbing trees, They're trading life for pixels and USBs. [Verse] Daddy spends his evenings with a gaming pad, Mommy’s taking selfies, got her filters stacked. Jimmy’s learning numbers on an app so loud, But he ain’t counting fireflies out in the crowd. [Chorus] Oh, they've got the screen time blues, iPads and phones, it’s what they choose. No more fishing rivers or catching bees, They're swapping life for screens and LCDs. [Bridge] Remember sunsets, red and gold, Conversations deep, stories told. Now it's all emoticons and virtual hugs, Real life's turning into just a buzz. [Verse] Granny says it wasn't like this before, Kids were always running out the backdoor. Now they’re hidden behind digital walls, Missin’ out on the world, the season's calls.

[Verse] I walked into the clinic, felt a sudden chill, Doctor said, "Take a number, just sit and be still." Hours turned to days, as I looked around, Folks call it free, but it's got us feeling down. [Verse 2] Old Mr. Jenkins, he's coughing up a storm, Mama with her newborn trying to keep it warm, Nurse said, "Wait your turn, it'll be alright, But it’s looking like another sleepless night." [Chorus] In the land of maple leaves and snow, Hope your list ain't too long, that’s how it goes, Might find yourself in a never-ending line, Health care’s free, but it's eating up your time. [Verse 3] Had a friend named Sally, needed surgery fast, Waited six months, her good days didn't last, By the time they called her name, she was too far gone, Now her family prays without her at dawn. [Verse 4] Preacher in a wheelchair, said his back’s all broke, Nurses smile politely, but it's just a cruel joke, Said he’d best lean on faith and less on man, Because this waiting game ain’t part of the plan. [Chorus] In the land of maple leaves and snow, Hope your list ain't too long, that’s how it goes, Might find yourself in a never-ending line, Health care’s free, but it's eating up your time.

[Verse] I walked into the bank today, stood in line for a while, Tellers movin’ slow as molasses, with that forced little smile, I watched the clock, it didn’t move, just like the staff behind, Got nothin’ done by quittin’ time, left my patience far behind. [Verse 2] Manager struttin’ like a rooster, thinkin' he's the boss, But when you need some help around, he's more like useless gloss, No answers and no helpin’ hand, just a bunch of air, Feels like I’m nappin’ on my feet, but I’m payin’ my fare. [Chorus] Oh, the Royal Bank, you slow me down, Like a tortoise stuck in town, Why can’t you pick up the pace? I’m feelin' like I'm runnin' in place. [Verse 3] Got a paycheck to deposit, but the line ain't movin’ still, Tellers takin' forever, don’t they know the deal? In this busy world we live, there’s no time to waste, But at the Royal Bank, all I get is a bitter taste. [Verse 4] When you need some real advice, well, good luck with that, The managers all clueless, just lookin' for a chat, They’ll nod their heads and smile wide, but nothing gets resolved, Avoidin' all our problems, leavin' them unsolved. [Chorus] Oh, the Royal Bank, you slow me down, Like a tortoise stuck in town, Why can’t you pick up the pace? I’m feelin' like I'm runnin' in place.

[Verse] Well, down at the gym I go most every day, Seen folks sweatin' cares away. Lately I've seen a curious sight, Ladies dressed for the hot summer night. [Verse] Now don't get me wrong, I don't mean no harm, But why wear less than you got on the farm? Those tight little shorts and tops way too small, Now you're surprised when guys start to call? [Chorus] Oh, the gym attire blues, it's quite a show, Why wear near nothin' if you don't want folks to know? Complainin' 'bout the glances, but don't you see? You're just addin' fuel to the curiosity. [Verse] Girl on the treadmill, showin' off her legs, Rolls her eyes as she's poppin' them begs. "Stop lookin' at me, I'm here to work out!" Well honey, that outfit’s just causin' more doubt. [Verse] Squats and lunges in those barely-there leggings, Men can't help but be caught second-guessin'. You shout and complain, but here's the truth, Dress for the workout, not for the booze. [Chorus] Oh, the gym attire blues, it’s quite a plight, Wearin' them string-tops that don’t fit right. If you want no attention, here's what to do, Dress for the occasion, it'll respect you too.

[Verse 1] Kapag nakikita kita, puso ko’y lumalambot, Parang mamon na unti-unting nalulunod. Ang tibok ng dibdib ko, tila ba sumisigaw, Ngunit sa’yo’y di ko masabi ang lihim kong tanaw. [Pre-Chorus] Bakit ganito, di mo ba nararamdaman? Ang bawat ngiti ko’y may tagong kahulugan. Sa bawat tingin, may sinisigaw ang damdamin, Ngunit takot akong mawala ka sa akin. [Chorus] Hanggang kaibigan na lang ba? Ang pagmamahal ko’y di mo ba madarama? Ayokong masira ang tagal ng ating samahan, Ngunit mahal kita, higit pa sa kaibigan. Hanggang kaibigan na lang ba? Kung sabihin ko, baka maglaho ka. Ngunit bawat saglit na kasama kita, Puso ko’y umaasa, sana’y higit pa. [Verse 2] Sa mga sandaling ikaw ay nasa tabi, Pilit kong itinatago ang nadarama kung ngiti. Gusto ko sanang sambitin, "Mahal kita," Ngunit natatakot, baka mawala ka bigla. [Pre-Chorus] Bakit ganito, di mo ba nararamdaman? Ang mga kilos ko’y may lihim na dahilan. Bawat pag-alalay, bawat biro’t tawanan, May pag-ibig na pilit kong tinatapatan. [Chorus] Hanggang kaibigan na lang ba? Ang pagmamahal ko’y di mo ba madarama? Ayokong masira ang tagal ng ating samahan, Ngunit mahal kita, higit pa sa kaibigan. Hanggang kaibigan na lang ba? Kung sabihin ko, baka maglaho ka. Ngunit bawat saglit na kasama kita, Puso ko’y umaasa, sana’y higit pa. [Bridge] Paano kung malaman mo ang aking lihim? Paano kung masaktan ka sa aking damdamin? Ngunit paano kung sa dulo ng lahat, Mayro’n palang pag-asa’t di dapat matakot? [Outro] Hanggang kaibigan na lang ba? O may pagkakataon na mahalin ka? Sa takot at pangarap, ako’y lumalaban, Ngunit sa dulo, sana’y ikaw ay makapiling

[Verse] در کنار ساحل مرگ، صدای دریا میاد غم و قصه‌های کهنه، توی خوابم میاد تنهایی و شب سرد، یار دیرینه من دل مثل اون غریبه، خسته از شهر و وطن [Verse 2] خاطراتم با تو، در بادها گمشده دل خوشی‌های دیروز، گویی همه رفته جاده‌هایی پر پیچ، حالا تنها رمم چشم هایی دیده غمگین، به دنبال عطر تو [Chorus] دریای غم، چرا مرا تنها گذاشتی؟ چرا قلبم دلشکسته، با همان دردهای آشنا؟ دریای غم، بگو کجاست ساحنت آرامش؟ من به دنبال رویا، توی خواب‌هایم شب‌زنده‌دارم [Verse 3] نسیم هر شب بوزد، به یادت زنده من غم چون خوابی سنگین، برف زده بر دل من رویاهایی در شب، در آن کوچه‌های باریک عشق رفته، رفته و من، با دل دیوانه [Bridge] در غروب غربت، مرا به کجا رساندی؟ آی نسیم مهربان، خاطراتم را بخواندی؟ به آن چشم‌های خسته، هجوم رؤیاها آسمان تاریک شده، دلم باز تنها [Chorus] دریای غم، چرا مرا تنها گذاشتی؟ چرا قلبم دلشکسته، با همان دردهای آشنا؟ دریای غم، بگو کجاست ساحنت آرامش؟ من به دنبال رویا، توی خواب‌هایم شب‌زنده‌دارم

[Verse] Dil se maafi mangti hoon Jab tune kaha tha sun loon Meri zidd ne roka mujhe Ab samajh mein aaya kyun [Verse 2] Tere bina khali hai sans Mere ehsaas bhi ro rahe hain Dil toot gaya hai ab samjha Mere gunaah maaf kar de [Chorus] Kaise kahoon mujhe afsos hai Tere aansu ka dard mujhse na seh jaaye Mujhse galti hui hai maan gayi Tere bina jeena mushkil hai bhai [Verse 3] Aankhon mein aansu hain tere Mere dil mein pachtawa bhaari Jis raah pe tune mujhe bulaya Usi raah pe laut aayi [Bridge] Meri awaz sun le phir se Sath bitaye pal yaad hai tujhe Har pal socha kash maani hoti Tu mujhe maaf kar de bas yahi dua hai [Chorus] Kaise kahoon mujhe afsos hai Tere aansu ka dard mujhse na seh jaaye Mujhse galti hui hai maan gayi Tere bina jeena mushkil hai bhai

[Verse] Sunrise slow as we begin Chasing dreams where we have been Shadows fade and light pours in Brighter days we can't rescind [Verse 2] Cold nights askin' where we go Echoes whisper what we know Through the rain and through the snow Holdin' hands don't let them go [Chorus] It's okay tears will fall Together we'll stand tall Hearts will mend with every call In your arms I give my all [Verse 3] Wonder speaks in silent prose Secrets hidden in our clothes Eyes they meet the truth it shows Love is wild like a rose [Bridge] Broken roads they lead us here Fear is gone when you are near In this world so crystal clear No more pain or any fear [Chorus] It's okay tears will fall Together we'll stand tall Hearts will mend with every call In your arms I give my all

[Verse] Books and bags and morning haze Running late on coffee craze Dorm room talks that last till dawn It's a life that keeps me drawn [Verse 2] Campus paths we wander through Finding friends in something new Classes start and knowledge flows In this place where our heart grows [Chorus] Welcome friend to this new ride Hold on tight it's wild inside Every laugh and every tear Shapes the path we hold so dear [Verse 3] Midnight snacks and late-night chat Under stars we tip our hats Chasing dreams and sharing fears In this space we lose our years [Bridge] Lecture halls and library dens Strangers turning into friends Games and clubs and weekend plans We just let the good life span [Chorus] Welcome friend to this new ride Hold on tight it's wild inside Every laugh and every tear Shapes the path we hold so dear

[Verse] The evening sun sets behind the pine, I'm left here feeling barely fine, With nicotine stains on my fingertips, And whiskey burning on my lips. [Verse 2] The porch swing creaks to an empty tune, Friday nights pass way too soon, Stars blink out in the midnight sky, While I just sit here wondering why. [Chorus] Whiskey in my hand, miles of broken dreams, Nicotine tries to cover up my screams, Depression, like a shadow, follows me around, Another night in this old lonesome town. [Verse 3] The radio plays that old sad song, A lonesome melody that plays too long, Each verse feels like an old wound torn, Another night I wish I'd never been born. [Verse 4] Neighbors wave as they drive by slow, Eyes full of pity, but they don't know, That half a pack and a bottle's end, Are my only comfort, my last two friends. [Chorus] Whiskey in my hand, miles of broken dreams, Nicotine tries to cover up my screams, Depression, like a shadow, follows me around, Another night in this old lonesome town.
