Twenty

(gary rossington -- johnny vanzant -- rickey medlocke -- hughie thomasson)

Here i sit all by myself
Wonderin' how she could put our love on a shelf
A crowd of people, they pass me by
But all i can do is hang my head and cry

(chorus)
Blame it on a sad song in the night
I don't want anyone but you to make it right
Blame it on a sad song in the night
Well, it's an old familiar feelin'
Girl, it's got my heart reelin'
Don't want to hear a sad song in the night
Anymore

I know when we first started out
I was your only love and you had no doubt
But songs of the heart don't last forever
But don't you give up on love 'cause you never say never

Blame it on a sad song in the night
I don't want anyone but you to make it right
Blame it on a sad song in the night
Well, it's an old familiar feelin'
Girl, it's got my heart reelin'
Don't want to hear a sad song in the night
Anymore

'cause not a day goes by that i don't think about you
Oh, moment to moment, i get lost in time
And many years from now when i hear that song come on the radio
All those feelings will come back to haunt me
My heart will let me know

Blame it on a sad song in the night
I don't want anyone but you to make it right
Blame it on a sad song in the night
Well, it's an old familiar feelin'
Girl, it's got my heart reelin'
Don't want to hear a sad song anymore

Blame it on a sad song
You can blame it on a sad song, baby
Blame it on, blame it on a sad song

There's a story to tell about days of old
A man and his gun, a street fighter i'm told
There's one in every town, tryin' to make himself a name
If he's quicker on the draw, comes glory and fame

They say he's always alone, he rides a horse with no name
His only friend was the devil by his side but it caused him so much pain
If his guns could talk, oh, the stories they would tell
Of all the men who tried and lost, all the ones he sent to hell

(chorus)
They are outlaws, renegades, rebels on the run
They pay the price every day they live like the wrong end of a gun
Move around from town to town can't stay in any place to long
Outlaws, renegades... rebels on the run

Things haven't changed much these days
Faces are younger, but still they keep playing the deadliest game

Brothers and sisters, what are we fightin' for
It's not for the fame or the glory anymore
I hear the mothers cryin'
Too many children dyin'
How many tears have to fall to bring this to an end

They are outlaws, renegades, rebels on the run
They pay the price every day they live like the wrong end of a gun
Move around from town to town can't stay in any place to long
Outlaws, renegades... oh
They're all outlaws, renegades, rebels on the run
They pay the price every day they live like the wrong end of a gun
Move around from town to town can't stay in any place to long
Outlaws, renegades... rebels on the run

I can still remember i was eight years old
The first time that i picked her up little did i know
She's taken me to places that i've never been
Did my first gig in a rock-n-roll band
Berneice, sweet berneice

Get a real job let the guitar go
There ain't no future in this rock-n-roll
So go for your guitars, go for your guns
Better think twice it's three against one
Take your best shot it's a showdown now
Berneice, sweet berneice
Oh, berneice won't you play for me


A guitar woman needs a guitar man
One without the other, neither one of them can stand
Remember where we came from we can do it all again
So thanks to all you people, give youselves a hand
Berneice, sweet berneice
Berneice, won't you play for me

(barry mann, cynthia weil, brenda russell)

You better listen my brother
'cause if you do you can hear
There are voices still callin' from across the years
And they're cryin' across the ocean
And they're cryin' across the land
And they will until we all come to understand

(chorus)
That none of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free if one of us is chained
None of us are free

Well there are people in the darkness
And they just can't see the light
And if we don't say it's wrong then that says it's right
We got to feel for each other
Let our brothers know we're here
Got to get the message and send it out loud and clear

That none of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free if one of us is chained
None of us are free
Well it's the single truth
We all need to see
That none of are free if one of us is chained
None of us are free


Well i swear to you salvation isn't very hard to find
None of us can find it on our own
We got to join together. spirit, heart and mind
All the are suffering, knows they're not alone

None of us are free
None of us are free

If you just look around you
You're see what i say
'cause the world's gettin' smaller each passin' day
Now it's time to make some changes
Now it's time all realized
That the truth is shinin' right before our eyes


'cause none of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free if one of us is chained
None of us are free


Well it's the very heart of humanity
'cause none of us are free if one of us is chained
None of us are free

None of us, none of us
None of us, none of us
None of us, none of us are free

None of us, none of us
None of us, none of us
None of us, none of us are free


None of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free if one of us is chained
None of us are free
'cause it's the very truth
We all need to see
That none of us are free if one of us is chained
None of us are free

This is a story 'bout livin'
A tale of a long hard road
Ain't a whole lot of misgivin's
Of the things that i thought i sowed
My daddy was a real hard worker
He said son there will come a day
Talk ain't always cheap
And here's what daddy had to say
With these hands i've made my livin'
With these hands i've held a child
With these hands i've climbed a mountain
Sometimes we forget
We ain't much different at all

He likes grits, you like the apple
There ain't nothin' wrong with that
He says y'all, you say you'se
It all depends on where you're at
Well a little bit of music is a whole lot of fun
And its always good for the soul
From new york city out to california
You know its only rock and roll

With these hands we come together
With these hands we can change the world
With these hands i play my music
Sometimes we forget
We ain't much different at all

Oh, not at all
So what i'm trying to tell you
Is that i'm only one son of the south
Its gonna take more than you me and you
To work this whole thing out

With these hands i've made my livin'
With these hands i've held a child
With these hands i've climbed a mountain
Sometimes we forget

With these hands we come together
With these hands we can change the world
With these hands i play my music
Sometimes we forget
We ain't much different
We ain't much different
Ain't much different
At all

Alarm clock rings about a quarter after five
I've been up all night
Raisin' hell with some friends of mine
I take one good look in the mirror
But only one things gettin' clearer
The way i live, i'm lucky to be alive

There i go lying to myself
Said i wasn't gonna do it
Next thing you know, here i go again
Talked myself right into it

Supposed to be to work an hour ago
When i pass that boss stormin' down the road
Now there's an angel on my shoulder
Thinnkin' she can win me over
Devil's got my number don't you know

There i go lying to myself
Said i wasn't gonna do it
Next thing you know, here i go again
Talked myself right into it

Maybe, maybe have i gone to far this time
Maybe, maybe is my conscience workin' overtime
Nah

There's a knockout georgia peach givin' me the eye
Well if the truth beknown i'm just a little shy
Turns out she wasn't alone
She had a six foot chaperone
But that didn't slow me down
Don't ask me why

There i go lying to myself
Said i wasn't gonna do it
Next thing you know, here i go again
Talked myself right into it

I got no one to blame except myself
I said i wasn't gonna do it
Next thing you know here i go
Talk myself right into it
Talk myself, talk myself right into it
Talk myself, talk myself, talk myself right into it
Said i wasn't gonna do it
Here i go again baby
