Aaron Lewis - The Hill Album Lyrics

Got to work two jobs and rob a bank
To put food on the table and gas in your tank
And everybody knows who's to blame
But I ain't gonna worry about none of that shit today

So let's go fishin', let's go wishin'
On a star in the dark in the middle of the night
The world's gone crazy and the shit ain't right
Let's go runnin', a little backwoods hidin'
It's all so f*cked up I can't stand it
Let's go Karen, let's go Brandon
And let's go fishin'

We can make America great again
Turn right on a two track and turn off CNN

And let's go fishin', let's go wishin'
On a star in the dark in the middle of the night
The world's gone crazy and the shit ain't right
Let's go runnin', a little backwoods hidin'
It's all so f*cked up I can't stand it
Let's go Karen, let's go Brandon
And let's go fishin'
Let's go fishin'

Take a foot off the gas
This ain't a Nascar race
Just kick it on back
With a smile on your face

And let's go fishin', let's go wishin'
On a star in the dark in the middle of the night
The world's gone crazy and the shit ain't right
Let's go runnin', a little backwoods hidin'
It's all so f*cked up I can't stand it
Let's go Karen, let's go Brandon
And let's go fishin'
Let's go fishin'

I've been growing older all my life
Well, that don't mean I always act that way
Still ain't backing down from any fight
Just pickier about the ones I pick these days

Still ain't running faster then my demons
I still got my problems with my pride
Still looking for a reason for my reasons
But luckily I still ain't out of time

And I've lived and I've learned
I've crashed and I've burned
Every bridge that's tried to cross me
Misspent some days that cost me
Everything that's anything
And damn sure there's so many things
I wish I had the chance to not get wrong
Now that I'm over the hill I'm dying on

It's taken me this long to get up here
I still ain't sure the climb was worth the view
'Cause up here now I look around
I wish that I could go back down
To where I hadn't done some things I can't undo

And I've lived and I've learned
I've crashed and I've burned
Every bridge that's tried to cross me
Misspent some days that cost me
Everything that's anything
And damn sure there's so many things
I wish I had the chance to not get wrong
Now that I'm over the hill I'm dying on

I'm a little older now
I could make it up somehow

I've lived and I've learned
I've crashed and I've burned
Every bridge that's tried to cross me
Misspent some days that cost me
Everything that's anything
And damn sure there's so many things
I wish I had the chance to not get wrong
Now that I'm over the hill
Over the hill I'm dying
Over the hill I'm dying on

I ain't made in China
From all the cheapest parts
I ain't one for driving
Them imported foreign cars
I'm more like American muscle
From 1966
Yeah, I ain't made in China
I'm American as it gets

I ain't made by Uyghur kids
For pennies on the dollar
I'm made in the USA
It says so on my collar
Tried and true, red, white and blue
My roots run way too thick
Yeah, I ain't made in China
'Cause I'm American as it gets

And I'm hat over heart, doing my part
To love the flag
That drapes over the caskets
Of the ones who don't come back
I'm a gun-toting, locked and loaded
God fearing son of a bitch
Lord knows, I ain't made in China
I'm American as it gets

Red-blooded as they come
I'll die for being free
I'm proud of where I'm from

Foreign-made or city-raised
I'm proud to say I'm neither
And I ain't selling 'em any of mine
I ain't buying theirs either
If you got something to say about that
I couldn't give two shits
'Cause I ain't made in China
I'm American as it gets

And I'm hat over heart, doing my part
To love the flag
That drapes over the caskets
Of the ones who don't come back
I'm a gun-toting, locked and loaded
God fearing son of a bitch
Lord knows, I ain't made in China
I'm American as it gets

Lord knows I ain't made in China
'Cause I'm American as it gets

We were there for a minute
We were wrapped up in it
Ain't a highway I don't ride
Don't make me wish I was right back in it

That dream is a bitch
It'll turn on you quick
You go off running from the ones you love
And you wind up with nothing but the things you miss

I left that whole world spinning
I left that whole world spinning
A long, long time ago

It was real, and I know it
But I knew I would blow it
There's an emptiness in me
Nobody gets to see
'Cause I don't dare show it

I might drink for a minute
Pour myself back in it
Light another smoke and let it all go
'Cause I know I'll f*ck it up again

And I left that whole world spinning
I left that whole world spinning
A long, long time ago

There's no place I can run to
Don't take me right back to
The last time that I saw you
'Cause that me was the one who-

Left that whole world spinning
I left that whole world spinning
When I left that whole world spinning
I left that whole world spinning
A long, long time ago

Over me
If I were you, that's where I'd be
Just the same old song
Playing on and on

Over you
That's the one thing that my heart can't do
That's right where we left it at

I could fall into an empty kiss
Find someone to sleepwalk with
But I don't know if I can be redeemed
And I'm better off in this miss you hell
At least that's what I tell myself
All I know is I don't know where I'd be
If you were over me

Here I am
As far away as I've ever been
And closer than I ever was
To getting over me
'Cause you know damn well that's what I need
But getting over you
Would be the death of me

And I could fall into an empty kiss
Find someone to sleepwalk with
But I don't know if I can be redeemed
And I'm better off in this miss you hell
At least that's what I tell myself
But all I know is I don't know where I'd be
If you were over me
If you were over me

I could fall into an empty kiss
Find someone to sleepwalk with
I don't know if I can be redeemed
And I'm better off in this miss you hell
At least that's what I tell myself
All I know is I don't know where I'd be
If you were over me, over me
Over me, over me

People try to tell that I'm stuck in my ways
Just a stubborn SOB
So be it if that's the case
I'm just out here doing what I've always done
It ain't that complicated
I ain't changing for no one
Ain't like I can hide it
Ain't like I got a choice
Ain't never gonna be anything
But this bad old good old boy

I'm on the outside of the inside
The wrong side of the fence
On the right side of the Lord
I don't care what the left side says
You can love it or leave it
Like it or not
American since the day I was born
Outlaw by the grace of God

Ain't no one gonna make me unmake my made-up mind
'Til my dying day, there ain't no way
I ain't living this way of life
I don't care what you think of me
For being who I am
The good Lord made me just this way
So take it up with Him
Don't need your permission to do what I wanna do
I'll mind my own business
How about you mind yours too?

I'm on the outside of the inside
The wrong side of the fence
On the right side of the Lord
I don't care what the left side says
You can love it or leave it
Like it or not
American since the day I was born
Outlaw by the grace of God

I'm on the outside of the inside
The wrong side of the fence
On the right side of the Lord
I don't care what the left side says
You can love it or leave it
Like it or not
American since the day I was born
Outlaw by the grace of God

American since the day I was born
Outlaw by the grace of God

If it were up to me
I know it ain't but if it was
The land of the free wouldn't cost so much
And the bank wouldn't own at all

I'd run things differently
I know I can't but if I could
I stand where lady liberty stood
Before I'd let her fall
I'd build a better life
And a bigger wall

If it were up to me the churches would stay open
If it were up to me our borders would stay closed
And the helping hand would go to those still working
Their fingers to the bone
Can't help but wonder how much better it would be
If it were up to me

The games they play with all of us
As our history turns to dust
Would all be over
Hang the Constitution back up
And fight for those who fought for us
I'd make "In God We Trust" more than words on the dollar

If it were up to me the churches would stay open
If it were up to me our borders would stay closed
And the helping hand would go to those still working
Their fingers to the bone
I can't help but wonder how much better it would be
If it were up to me

If it were up to me there'd be a bolder line between good and evil
And wrong and right, and We the People would always get to speak
Whatever we damn well please

If it were up to me the churches would stay open
If it were up to me our borders would stay closed
And the helping hand would go to those still working
Their fingers to the bone
Can't help but wonder how much better it would be
If it were up to me

Way out here where the pine trees climb
The river winds, the coyotes hide
You will find me
Floating a boat, sipping something cold
Rolled a little smoke
Let the fishing pole unwind me
Out here where the simple meets divine

That's my life, it's alright
That's what I like, I don't care
You do yours, I'll do mine
That's my life, that's my life

I've been down there in your smoggy air
Where drag queens party with the billionaires and their habits
With your Antifa and your CRT and your alphabet soup
That ain't for me, you can have it
That's not my cup of tea but that's your right

Cause that's your life, do what you like
'Cause that's alright, I don't care
You do yours, I'll do mine
That's your life, that's your life

I don't know how the story ends
Enemies or best of friends
That's on you, man
I don't hate, I never did
Just wanna live and raise my kids
In the country I grew up in

And that's my right and that's alright
It's what I like, I don't care
You do yours, I'll do mine
'Cause that's your life
And that's alright
It's what you like, I don't care
You do yours, I'll do mine
'Cause that's my life
And that's your life

I don't mean to sound desperate
Lord knows that it would be easier to walk away
Than to stay
The old me wouldn't let this misery
Fill me up, get inside
Need to hear you tell me I'm a better man
And here I am

Holding on, I'm hanging by a thread
Even though I can't let go
Of these voices in my head
Telling me I'm wrong
Telling me to run
But I keep holding on
Even only if it's in my mind
Even only if it's in my mind

What's the point of saving this
If I'm the only lonely one who's wanting this?
But I can't quit

Holding on, I'm hanging by a thread
Even though I can't let go
Of these voices in my head
I'm telling me I'm wrong
I'm telling me to run
But I keep holding on
Even only if it's in my mind
Even only if it's in my mind

I don't know why
I keep holding on, I'm hanging by a thread
Even though I can't let go
Of these voices in my head
Telling me I'm wrong
Telling me to run
But I keep holding on
Even only if it's in my mind
Even only if it's in my mind
Even only if it's in my mind
Even only if it's in my mind
Even only if it's in my mind

Could've been little more listen, little less say
A little less statue, a little more clay
With a little less pride, more I was wrong
I'd be a little more there, you'd be a little less gone

If I could, you know I would
Turn my bads back into good
Unburn a bridge, unbreak a heart
Put back together what I tore apart

I've got a long list of regrets
Still ain't forgiven me for yet
Worst one of all, if only I'd
Been little less me, you'd be a little more mine

Should've been twenty-something, a damn good life
Instead, I'm twenty-something into a damn goodbye
I'd be further along if I hadn't gone so far
Less where I am and more where you are

If I could, you know I would
Turn my bads back into good
Unburn a bridge, unbreak a heart
Put back together what I tore apart

I've got a long list of regrets
Still ain't forgiven me for yet
Worst one of all, if only I'd
Been little less me, you'd be a little more mine

If I could, you know I would
Turn my bads back into good
Unburn a bridge, unbreak a heart
Put back together what I tore apart

I've got a long list of regrets
Still ain't forgiven me for yet
Worst one of all, if only I'd
Been little less me, you'd be a little more mine
