Song from the album Decoration Day
Lyrics:
Way you look at me like that, somethings got to give pretty soon
Throw it on a camels back, somethings got to give pretty soon
Living hard to chase the dream, way beyond our ways and means
Yours dont mean a goddamn thing.
Thats what you said, but, dont believe it.
That shattered look upon your face, somethings got to give pretty soon.
Swallow, but cant stand the taste, bark at the wind, chase the moon
Living fast and drinking lots. List of things we havent got.
Tired of life with the have-nots
Thats what you said and I believe it.
Maybe what you needs for someone to send you flowers
Someone strong and mean who can prove he has the power to
show you more than charm and take you on your way
to where you want to be at the end of the day
and it breaks my heart in two to know it aint meant to be
but, it aint me. It aint me.
And you say its these things I do, about me thats attracted you
so if I started doing something else, what would we have left.
And you say you just want compromise, then act so different all the time.
These reasons why you said goodbye, just another way of telling lies.
Somethings got to give, got to give pretty soon
or else were gonna lose the very things that made it bloom
Sitting in silence in a cold and lonely room
while the world goes on around us
Somethings got to give, got to give pretty soon
or else were gonna hate each other
and that would be the saddest thing I ever seen.
livin' large and chasin' dreams...

HahA !!! You guys crack me up ... Skynyrd was a good band ... they OPENED for a lot of better bands . To say DBT can't match Skynyrd is ignorant ! Free bird was one of their worst songs .. DBT ... doesn't have a bad song . They are two different types of music .. both talented but ... "Bulldozers and dirt" VS. "Freebird" , not even a question ! I pray that you both continue to love music ... and that you realize that music is not for the crowd in the stands . It's purpose is to express emotion

@haydenwce27 "Free Bird" is the main reason I QUIT listening to them! That's what caused all of the people who had never heard of them to jump on their bandwagon. I like Leonard Skynard (or whatever that gym teacher's name was), but Free Bird ain't one of their best. Sorry bout the spelling- I don't have their poster hanging over MY bed
