The Legacy lyrics

Southern Nights Have You Ever Felt A
Southern Night Free As A Breeze
Not To Mention The Trees
Whistling Tunes That You Know And Love So

Southern Nights Just As Good Even When
Closed Your Eyes I Apologize
To Any One Who Can Truly Say
He Has Found A Better Way

Feel So Good Feel So Good It's Frightening
Wish I Could Stop This World From Fighting

Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin'
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
She was 21 when I left Galveston

Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there lookin' out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?

It's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
That keeps you in the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

One day, little girl, the sadness will leave your face
As soon as you've won the fight to get justice done
Someday little girl you'll wonder what life's about
But other's have known few battles are won alone
So, you'll look around to find
Someone who's kind, someone who is fearless like you
The pain of it will ease a bit
When you find a man with true grit

Let me be a little kinder
Let me be a little blinder
To the faults of those about me
Let me praise a little more

Let me be when I am weary
Just a little bit more cheery
Think a little more of others
And a little less of me

Let me be a little braver
When temptation bids me waver
Let me strive a little harder
To be all that I should be

Let me be a little meeker

People see us everywhere
They think you really care
But myself I can't deceive
I know it's only make believe.

My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care,
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you.
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My only prayer will be someday you'll care for me
But it's o-only make believe.

When Jesus washed
Oh when he washed
When Jesus washed
He washed my sins away!

Oh when he washed
When Jesus washed
He washed my sins away!

If you see your brother standing by the road
with the heavy load from the seeds he sowed
and if you see your sister falling by the way
why don't you stop and say:
You're on the wrong way!

But you've got to try a little kindness
you show a little kindness
but you shine your light for every one to see
But if you try a little kindness
then you'll overlook the blindness

If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he's sowed
And if you see your sister falling by the way
Just stop and stay you're going the wrong way

You got to try a little kindness
Yes show a little kindness
Just shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness
Then you'll overlook the blindness

Who broke the circle first
Well that's a pointless question
We both know a circle can't be broken
You thought you told me something new but you were wrong
Sometimes the loudest words are unspoken
You ran away
Forgot the promise you made
A friendship is a terrible thing to waste
Cut your nose off just to spite your face
What a stupid thing to do

I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singing in the wires I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line

I know I need a small vacation but it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain

Where have you gone

My darling one

Are you on your own

Are you having fun

Is there someone to hold
When you need it bad

Is it uncontrolled

Like the love we had

Does a day go by

Like a memory

Do you ever try

To remember me

In an automobile

Or a crowded bar

Well I hope you're alright

Wherever you are

I was all right for a while I could smile for a while

But I saw you last night you held my hand so tight as you stopped to say hello
Oh you wished me well you couldn't tell

That I'd been crying over you crying over you

Since you said so long left me standing all alone alone and crying crying crying crying

It's hard to understand that the touch of your hand can start me crying

Found some letters you wrote me this morning they told of a love we once knew

Now they're gone I'd burned them to ashes
Don't want nothing to remind me of you

Burning bridges behind me it's too late to turn back now

Burning bridges behind me all I want is to forget you somehow

Sold the house we once planned together said goodbye to friends we knew

Hey little one so far from home and so alone
Hey little one I'm just like you I'm lonely too
The road of life is a long long road when you walk alone
Then I found you I found a love a love I've never known a love I've never known
Hey hey hey hey little one don't go away tell me you'll stay
Hey hey hey hey little one I'm just like you I'm so lonely too

Oh amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me

I once was lost oh but now I'm found I was blind Lord but now I see
Through many dangers toils and snares that we already fear

Twas grace that brought the sake the spar and grace will lead us home

When we've when we've been there ten thousand years

Bright shining bright shining as the sun

Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through

Someone's gonna pay for the things you do

How many hearts will break how many will it take
Just to satisfy you just to satisfy you

Another love another fool to play your game

Another love another fool they're all the same

Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through

Now don't be surprised if that someone is you
