For All You Know

A Collection of Hits

13 Can You Burn

Well it started out like any other day on earth,
everything accounted for assigned its worth
Its all that you’ve been working for, since your birth until you die

Grab a cup of coffee out the door so fast, gave you a kiss that could be our last,
I didn’t say I love you but you know that it will always be that way 

VERSE 2:
Step out the door, the air smells so fine
Spring thaw and the dandelions
I take one last look just to know that it is real

Then all in a moment I was beggin please
What i couldn’t plan for brought me to my knees
And as I lay there dying, a voice said to me now
Son what you wanna do with your last time here?

CHORUS:
And I said, play that song that I know so well,
And I’ll sing it out until my final breath
Its the one about love and stars and the way that takes me home
And even though we come and go alone, I know my soul’s part of a greater whole
Ima miss the sun, the sky, and the trees, but most of all I’ll miss you and me

VERSE 3:
 Open ends and words unsaid, little moments that never left your head
All come together to make the bed in which you’re lying
Cause all in an instant it could be the end,
And would you be satisfied with how its been
And as I lay there dying a voice said to me now,
Son what you wanna do with your last time here?


CHORUS:
And I said, play that song that I know so well,
And I’ll sing it out until my final breath
Its the one about love and the stars and the way that takes me home
And even though we come and go alone, I know my soul’s part of a greater whole
And Ima miss the sun, the sky, and the trees, but most of all I’ll miss you and me
And Ima miss the sun, the sky, and the trees, but most of all I’ll miss you and me

You & Me

Lyric: Kevin Reardon & Bobby Joe Peace; Music: Kevin Reardon 

Verse  
Yesterday I drove the gravel road to the house where I was raised  
We moved away when I was twelve but I never forgot that place
Growing up we didn’t have much but our house was full of love
My folks both had to work and they made sure we had enough
It wasn’t much to look at with a creaky old front porch
But to us it was our castle, never needed nothing more  
We took care of each other, stood tall with what we owned 
So, I bought it and I’m moving back and I’m proud to call it home
I’m proud to call it home 

Verse 
Then I got back in my truck, drove down the old main street 
Some storefront names have changed and there’s a brand-new factory
My old town went through tough times, jobs up and went away
But folks were just mule stubborn, wouldn’t give up on this place
From ashes, rust and dust, they brought it back to life
But some things there were lost, progress claims its price 
Now I live here once again, gonna give back what I owe
We’re building our town’s tomorrow and I’m proud to call it home 
I’m proud to call it home

Bridge
I travel for my job all across this big ol’ land 
Meet people of every race and creed, doing all they can
I see towns like mine renewed with self-less sacrifice 
A time to every purpose, folks doing what is right
 
Verse 
So, when I hear some people saying there’s something wrong with the USA
I don’t see that we have lost our edge or that we’ve lost our way 
I can’t deny there’s work to do, we all got to play our part
But I know we’ll pull together from the strength within our hearts
Whether city, town, ranch or farm, no better place on earth  
With the freedom to believe and our belief that freedom works 
So, I’ll shout it from the rooftops, let the whole world know
Our USA is here to stay and I’m proud to call it home
Yeah, I’m proud to call it home 

Outro
It’s great to live in the USA
Great to live in the USA, great to live in the USA and I’m proud to call it home
It’s great to live in the USA
Great to live in the USA, great to live in the USA and I’m proud to call it home

Proud To Call It Home
