[Verse 1] Big John Wilson Flint-born soul Walkin' through the city with a heart of gold Carryin' a stick Like a staff of old Stories 'bout him The legends they unfold [Verse 2] John moved like a shadow in the early dawn Streets of Michigan knew he'd soon be gone With every step His courage shone In every wind's whisper You could hear his song [Chorus] Oh Big John Wilson The man with the stick A spirit so strong Not easy to break Through snow and sunshine He'd make his way In tales of Flint His name will forever stay [Verse 3] The children would cheer When they'd see him walk Passing their homes He'd sometimes stop and talk Sharing wisdom Never bound by clock In his eyes You saw a spirit that couldn't be locked [Verse 4] The factories roared But John’s steps were loud In a town of labor He stood out from the crowd With his unyielding spirit He'd make folk proud The essence of Flint Oh he wore it like a shroud [Chorus] Oh Big John Wilson The man with the stick A spirit so strong Not easy to break Through snow and sunshine He'd make his way In tales of Flint His name will forever stay

[Verse] Down an old dirt road, where the wildflowers grow, She walks to the store with rust on its door. A humble glass bottle, a treat to be seen, Her heart skips a beat for that sweet caffeine. [Chorus] Dr Pepper lover, oh how she shines, Sipping on memories, tasting the times. In a world full of choices, it’s her favorite sip, A classic delight with each little trip. [Verse] Sunrise to sunset, through the summer’s heat, That fizzy concoction’s her only retreat. A moment of pleasure in a small Texas town, Dr Pepper in hand, she never feels down. [Chorus] Dr Pepper lover, oh how she shines, Sipping on memories, tasting the times. In a world full of choices, it’s her favorite sip, A classic delight with each little trip. [Verse] Sitting on a porch swing, lost in her thoughts, Each drop of that drink so carefully bought. Counting the bubbles as they gently fizz, Thinking of the moments she doesn't want to miss. [Chorus] Dr Pepper lover, oh how she shines, Sipping on memories, tasting the times. In a world full of choices, it’s her favorite sip, A classic delight with each little trip.

[Verse] O' Gulfpoint fair by the briny sea Where the sun sets bold and wild and free Children laugh and old folks sigh Beneath our flag 'neath southern sky [Verse 2] From the bayous deep to sandy shores Echoes of our father's roars Fields of cotton Fields of gold Stories of the South unfold [Chorus] O' Gulfpoint We sing thy praise Underneath the swelterin' blaze Land of courage Heart so true Our heritage we bless anew [Verse 3] Storms may come and waters rise But hope lingers in our eyes Cypress stands as sentinel tall Guarding all who heed her call [Bridge] In the midnight hour Songs we hear Whispers soft They draw us near Echoes of a time that's past Memories made to last [Verse 4] From the marches deep Voices ring In tribute to our land we sing Through the hardships and the strife Drawin' breath Breathin' life
[Verse 1] सांझ-सवेरे खेत में जावे मेहनत का हम गीत गावे धरती माई की गोद संभाले दुख-सुख में भी मुस्करावे [Verse 2] चला-चली बस ताने ही सुने दिल में जज्बा जो धधके लाख रोके ये दुनिया सारी हम ना कभी कभी ना रुकते [Chorus] जिंदगी का संग्राम है ये हर कदम पर मल्हार है ये हर मुश्किल को हंसके सहना हम तो सच्चे यार हैं ये [Verse 3] फूलों में भी कांटे छुपे हैं राहों में मुश्किलें भरे हैं फिर भी हिम्मत जोड़ी हमने मंजिलों को पाना ठाने हैं [Verse 4] बिन आग के जो जीवन जिए बिन संघर्ष क्या पाई खुशी चलना है जैसे रुख हवा का बनाना अपना हर पल सही [Bridge] तूफान आया अन्धेरा छाया रौशनी पर जीत की छाया ना कोई डर दिल में बसाया राह मौत से भी मिलाया
[Verse] Ветер в волосах и сердце взаперти Взгляды украдкой день за днем летит Мир под ногами рассыпается в прах Словно искра яркая в серых облаках [Verse 2] Скамейка старая у школьных ворот Мгновения счастья в памяти полет Никто не узнает что в душе творится Свою первую любовь так легко влюбиться [Chorus] Первая любовь как сладкий сон Летящие моменты как звезды небосклон Первая любовь уносит нас вдаль Наивные мечты и бесконечная печаль [Verse 3] Цветет весна и звезды над рекой Ты рядом был и мир казался мой Руки в твоих и больше ничего Столько чувств и слов еще неразговоренных [Bridge] Жизнь летит но помним смеха шаги Детство в воспоминаниях и улыбаются миры Первый поцелуй как свет восхода Навсегда запомнится наша свобода [Chorus] Первая любовь как сладкий сон Летящие моменты как звезды небосклон Первая любовь уносит нас вдаль Наивные мечты и бесконечная печаль

[Verse] En Zotolticlan las flores bailan La brisa juega con la luz del día Aromas dulces en cada esquina Sonrisas largas en su melodía [Verse 2] Pueblo chico tan lleno de magia Las plazas cuentan historias pasadas Cada calle un verso olvidado Ríos de tinta en viejas fachadas [Chorus] Oye los cuentos del viento Calles quebradas pero alma fuerte Zotolticlan nunca miente Sus sueños despuntan y sienten [Verse 3] En sus calles el polvo se eleva Mil grietas hablan sin decir nada Caminarás por caminos viejos Y entenderás lo que espera la alborada [Verse 4] Aunque sus calles se caigan a trozos El corazón del pueblo palpita Cada vecino una chispa eterna Que nunca en la lluvia se marchita [Chorus] Oye los cuentos del viento Calles quebradas pero alma fuerte Zotolticlan nunca miente Sus sueños despuntan y sienten
[Verse] Down the gravel road, where the old oak stands, Home fires burning, held by calloused hands. Mama's in the kitchen, making cornbread warm, Papa’s in the field, braving every storm. [Verse 2] Children in the backyard, chasing fireflies, Echoes of laughter underneath the skies. Grandma’s telling stories on the front porch swing, Each word a memory, each tale a ring. [Chorus] Home fires burning, keep us all in light, Guiding us through every darkest night. In this humble place, love is always found, Home fires burning, making country ground. [Verse 3] Brother’s at the river, skipping stones so far, Dreams of leaving town, driving Daddy’s car. Sister’s in the meadow, picking daisy chains, Whispers of tomorrow in the summer rains. [Verse 4] Church bells ringing, calling us to pray, In these small town dreams, we find our way. Neighbors lend a hand, 'cause we’re all kin, Home fires burning, where it all begins. [Chorus] Home fires burning, keep us all in light, Guiding us through every darkest night. In this humble place, love is always found, Home fires burning, making country ground.
[Verse] Woke up this mornin', sun's just risin' high, Rooster's crowin', hear that lonesome cry, Coffee's brewin', life in black and white, Just another day, under this simple sky. [Verse] Dusty boots and fields of golden wheat, Small-town whispers, where everyone you'll meet, Knows your mama, and the way you smile, It's a quiet life, but it goes for miles. [Chorus] High lonesome road, carrying my dreams, In this small town, nothing's what it seems, Every heartache, every joy untold, Travels down this high lonesome road. [Verse 4] Grandma's porch swing, creakin' with the breeze, Stories of the past, bring me to my knees, Faded photographs, memories in a shoebox, Lessons learned, like weathered old rocks. [Bridge] But there's beauty here, in the quiet nights, Fireflies dancing, under moonlight, Sometimes the simple, is the most profound, In this small town, where love is found. [Chorus] High lonesome road, carrying my dreams, In this small town, nothing's what it seems, Every heartache, every joy untold, Travels down this high lonesome road.
