We were Cyoung and bound for glory
Itchin' Ffor a fight like you
Bringin' Ghell and purgatory
To the Emboys who wore the Blue
And I Fthought I'd seen it Gall
Till the Emday night wouldn't Amfall
Oh how the Fsun did blaze
Wouldn't go Gdown for days.
I got Cshot and lost my rifle
When the Ffirst wave hit the rise
And the Gguns rolled out like thunder
And the Emblack smoke burned my eyes
And I Fwatched it all unGfold
Just the Emway the Bible Amtold
Joshua's Fendless day
Keepin' the Gnight at bay.
And the Amsoldiers kept a comin'
Til the Fground looked like a sea
Of Blue and GGrey
And I Amwatched it from a distance
Wonderin' Fif I would've fought, or run Gaway.
The Day The Sun Stood CStill
How they beat the bloody Gdrums
And the seconds moved like Amhours
But the sunset never Fcomes
And the cannons shake the Cground
And the bullets test your Gwill
Even shadows found no Amcover
On that Godforsaken Fhill
The GDay The Sun Stood CStill. F
And I Cwatched them lean their shoulders
To the fearful hail of lead
And I Gprayed for night to save us
And I Emcried and bowed my head
But the Fsun just kept a-Gcreepin'
Cross a Emcold indifferent Amsky
Castin' a Fdeadly glow
On all the Gmen below.
All the Amhours in a lifetime
Don't add Fup to one while minute, in that Gs-un
And the Amheroes and the cowards
Look the Fsame when they have fallen, by the Ggun.
The Day The Sun Stood CStill
And the North and South looked Gwest
But the evening star was Amsleepin?
And the daylight wouldn't Frest
Out on the killin? Cfloor
The red sun on the Ghill
Shinin' down on all the Amdead men
With a strange and eerie Fchill
The GDay The Sun Stood CStill.
BbDo not judge, what you Fbrother does
CTill you've walked a mile
GRank by bloody file
BbWho's to say, if you'll Frun or stay, and Gf-ight.
Chrous3:
The Day The Sun Stood CStill
Is just beneath the Gskin
In the soul of every Amsoldier
Every battle that he's Fin
The Day The Sun Stood CStill
Will haunt your dreams at Gnight
And stalk your every Amsunrise
Though you will not know it Ftill
The GDay The Sun Stood CStill.
How they beat the bloody Gdrums
And the seconds moved like Amhours
But the sunset never Fcomes
And the cannons shake the Cground
And the bullets test your Gwill
Even shadows found no Amcover
On that Godforsaken Fhill
The GDay The Sun Stood CStill. F
The Day The Sun Stood CStill F
The Day The Sun Stood CStill F

Put Some Drive In Your Country
Travis Tritt
AWell I was raised on country classics
Like Roy Acuff and George Jones
Lord I love'd to hear 'em
Sing all them old time country E7songs
But I Areally got excited
'bout the time I turned 15
That's the D7first time I heard Waylon
and old Bocephus sing
They put some Adrive in their country
EThat really turned me Aon
D7Yea, put some drive in your country
Keep country drivin' Aon
When the D7music gets you movin'
BYou know that can't be Ewrong
AEverytime I hear that Outlaw stuff
On my car radio
It D7makes me wanna drive it
Just as fast as it will go
Put some Adrive in your country
ELet's keep country drivin' Aon
AWe played some shows in Atlanta
On Sunday afternoons
The gigs were packed and I was nervous
Cause I wanted folks to like my Etunes
The crowds were Afull of younger people
They were all about my age
So I D7turned and told the band
Just before we walked on stage
Put some Adrive in your country fellas
EWe turned those people Aon
Yea put some D7drive in your country
Keep country drivin' Aon
When the D7music gets you dancin'
BYou know that can't be Ewrong
ASee I made myself a promise
When I was just a kid
I'd mix D7southern rock and country
And that's just what I did
Put some Adrive in your country
EKeep country drivin' Aon
HEY-YEA-YEA-YEA
Put some D7drive in your country
Hey let's keep country drivin Aon
When the D7music gets you movin'
BYou know that can't be Ewrong
I still Alove old country
I ain't tryin' to put it down
D7Damn I miss Duanne Allman
I wish he was still around
Put some Adrive in the country
EKeep country drivin' Aon

Song: Country Ain't Country
Author: ????
Performed by: Travis Tritt
Album: Strong Enough (release date Sept 24, 2002)
This song is played with a capo on the 1st fret
(making all of these chords sharps) but for the sake of
simplicity, it's presented here as if played open. The
Dsus2 and Gsus2 are included in the chord chart, but not
put into the body of the song. How and when to use them
is up to you. There is a simple bend, walk and pull-off on the A string, 4th
to 3rd fret to open during the intro, between verses, and after the choruses.
I'm not confident
on the chords for the 5th line of the chorus ("locking their doors"). If you
can figure it out, please send in the correction.

COUNTRY AIN'T COUNTRY - Travis Tritt
DHe was raised on a tractor in Goveralls and Dboots.
Been to college and then law school since Gleaving his Droots.
Came home in a Lexus. He Gleft in a DFord.
GCountry ain?t Acountry no Dmore.
DHe told his daddy, ?Catch Gup with the Dtimes."
He said, "Now a?days people trade Gheifers onDline."
Dad ain?t sealing deals with a Ghandshake like beDfore.
And Gcountry ain?t Acountry no Bmmore.
No, Gcountry ain?t Acountry no Dmore.
GThe back forty was sold to make Dup for hard times
And Asold by the half acre Dlot overnight.
GThe houses went up and the Dtrees were cut down.
AThere went the finest deer Dhunting around.
Lord, Geveryone?s Bmlocking their Adoors.
?Cause Gcountry ain?t Acountry no Dmore.
DNow his dad sits in traffic looking ?Ground at the Dchange
Watching crews turn the county road Ginto four Dlanes.
The old Sunday drive has turned Ginto a Dchore.
And Gcountry ain?t Acountry no Bmmore.
Lord, Gcountry ain?t Acountry no Dmore.
DThere?s no turning back and you Gjust can?t Dignore
That Gcountry ain?t Acountry no Bmmore.
No, Gcountry ain?t Acountry no Dmore.

EWell he was the assistant preacher And the Sunday school teacher
In the church that I grew up in
She was a looker from atlanta Led the choir, played piano
Had a bBody that was made for sin
EShe didn,t care that he was married Cause the torch that she carried
Was hAotter then the fires of hell
EShe had plans to suduce him
If she cAould she would loBosen
A notch in the bible bEelt
ESo she called him up at home, When she knew he'd be alone,
Said preacher I could use advice
I got troubles with a man, That I know you'll understand
If you could hBelp me it would sure be nice
EThey met a few minutes after, In the office of the pastor
And she stAarted telling how she felt
What a chEance they were takin'
When they fAirst started breakin'
The lBaws of the bible bEelt
There's a lAot of good people
Who are led astray
That bEelieve what the good book said
Well I'll tAall ya something brother
When you're dealin' with the devil
It's tFough to keep a level hBead
It's hEard to imagine How the flames of passion
Can bAurn till your soul will melt
And it'll spEread like a cancer
But yAou're gonna have to answer
To the lBord and the bible bEelt

Verse:II E A E A B E
ESomeone said they went to Vegas, Back home it didn't take us long
To hear the news of what they did
Nobody could believe That he left his wife to grieve

But I know that they're screwin' up
A gAood thing they once had
They bEetter get their heads together
Or they're goAnna slap leather
