Infantry song

Why is life such a chance
Why is peace such a chance
Why is it such a chance
Just to live here in peace

And our soldiers of past
You lived your life so fast
That all I can do is dream
Of what reality seemed

One by one I will be coming to you
One by two I hope you would too
One by three for you and me and them

You never hear the whine
Of the round that is thine
And all you know is the truth
I’m just what you have to do

A roundis a round is a round
Your belly flat to the
And if you live through this day
You did it the infantry way

And if it ends up that your luck, done went down
You will end up on a monument ground
Better places there may be
But that’s the way of the infantry

You never hear the cry
Of the nurses who died
Through the heart of their pain
About those soldiers who came

A round is a round is a round
Your bellies flat to the ground
And if you lived through that day
You did it the infantry way

One by one I will be coming to you
One by two I hope you would too
One by three for you and me and them

“I don’t know”
#frankleepiercemusic

I’ve seen her pain
I’ve seen her refrain 
I’ve seen hurt in her soul
 but I don’t know
But I don’t know

I’ve seen her grow
I’ve seen that she knows
I love how she plays
I love how she lays 
I love how she lays

you let down your pride
Ain’t no free ride
We’re one human band
Try all you can

We can’t even plan
 but the day here at hand
 so I’ve wasted no time
 I’ve waited in line
 when you are fine
 lord how do we shine
Oh, how do we shine

Well, I don’t know
 no, I don’t know

 these moments, we cried
We wanted something inside
Anything about this
And we ain’t even kissed
 no we ain’t even kissed
 no, I don’t know
No, I don’t know



Ride alone

Hang them high or haul them down low
I ain’t got no time for the lowdown crawl
I’m doing 20 the noose did not fall
The sheriff wants to see me
do the lowdown crawl

If you don’t love me
when I break these chains
You might have to hang me
after the winter and rains
Cause I ain’t begging
no sheriff with no name
to let me go free
and ride again I’ll ride again

I Ain’t afraid
To ride out alone
Give me some lead
I’ve got to Roam

I had some wanderlust
I’ve done some wrong
the hurt keeps me feeling
The road keeps me strong
I ain’t a Crying
Or too badly shamed
It’s a miracle I’m Leavin
High on the range
I’m high on the range

Most of the time
I feel I don’t belong
So I sent you this letter
in the form of a song
I’ll ride through the dusk
And into the dawn
It’s the Lord that I trust
and I won’t be long

No I won’t be long

I ain’t afraid
To ride out alone
I’ve lived most of my life
With nary a home

No I ain’t afraid
To ride out alone
I’ve lived my life with nary a home

Rodeo

I’ve wasted some bylines
I’ve wandered through high times
And I’ve walked were so many would not go
My friends they all know me
I am fun for the company
But I’m not billed for the long-haul
But for this night
You’re gonna be all right
It ain’t my first rodeo

If you going my way
I take the old highways
That’s just the way I want to go
Now the desert behind me
To the mountains that I can see
It’s the path and not the road that troubles me
And all the friends that know me they say I’m good company
And for one night that is true
But in this life
I’m not good for much
If for anything at all

But that one girl well
She’s my world
That’s where my friends
They don’t know me
They think I’m good company
But it’s just a show
Love is my first rodeo

I’ve wasted some bylines
I want you to high times
and I’ve walked with so many would not go
All the friends that know me
They think I’m good company
And for this night it’s true
But in this life
I’m not good for much
If for anything at all
But that one girl
Well she’s my world
That’s where my friends they just don’t know me
They’ll tell you I’m good company
But that’s just a show
Love is my first rodeo
