Lyrics by Doug Thompson

Rage…..
Rage in a cage
Caged in rage
Hateful words raised
Phrased in hate
Raised in rage
A fighting cage

Hating for reasons
No seasons, no reasons
Fear’s gonna bleed
Evil’s gonna feed
No mercy for me
Arms to bear arms
Even the score
Hate the future
Show ’em the door
Ending tonight
In the firefight!

Rage…..
Rage in a cage
Caged in rage
Hateful words raised
Phrased in hate
Raised in rage
A fighting cage

Morning won’t break
Fired through the night
Don’t give a shit
Whose side’s in the fight
My final stance
Last breath, last chance


Rage…..
Rage in a cage
Caged in rage
Hateful words raised
Phrased in hate
Raised in rage
A fighting cage

No breath left to take
Funerals await
Heaven or Hell
Who’s gonna tell?
No second chance
Graves start to dance

Rage…..
Rage in a cage
Caged in rage
Hateful words raised
Phrased in hate
Raised in rage
A fighting cage

The living still wonder
Why the endless plunder
Why the disgrace
On a dead man’s face
Dead don’t feel pain
Life’s just a game

Rage…..
Rage in a cage
Caged in rage
Hateful words raised
Phrased in hate
Raised in rage
A fighting cage

Death is the end
No letters get sent
Hell’s been discovered
Fate uncovered
Left here in rage
No final page
No final stage
Just rage…
RAGE!

We grew apart over the years
I ran around town
Acting like a clown
Every woman I met
Ended with the same tears
No knowing when it went wrong
Just like a good old country song

BUT,

Sorry, I Messed up
Wishin to make up
I’ll Never give up
Loving the thought of you
Loving the things we could do
My heart beats from yours
Walk through that door
One more chance
One more dance

Never cameback from the war
Left my soul on the ground
fallen friends make no sounds
Startled awake in my sleep
Hatred and fear run deep
Need a drink to calm down
But, sunrise comes around

BUT,

Sorry, I Messed up
Wishin to make up
I’ve Never given up
Loving the thought of you
Loving the things we could do
My heart beats from yours
Walk through that door
One more chance
One more dance

Watched with pride and joy
Our son on graduation day
Saw you sitting far away
I stayed by the back door
You’ve raised him right
While I battled the fight

I see,

Sorry, I Messed up
Wishin to make up
I’ve Never given up
Loving the thought of you
Loving the things we could do
My heart beats from yours
Walk through that door
One more chance
One more dance

Spending Sundays in prayer
Let the words of Jesus care
Looking for my forgiveness
Hugged our son, thankfulness
He said you wished to meet
As we walked down the street

I know

I Messed up
Wish to make up
I’ve Never given up
Loving the thought of you
Loving all the things we do
My heart beats from yours
Let me walk through that door
One more chance
One more dance

You said yes a SECOND TIME

I Messed up
Wish to make up
I’ve Never given up
Loving the thought of you
Loving all the things we’ll do
My heart beats with yours
Walking through that door
One more chance
One more dance

Kids and family together
Moving on from the past
Make good memories last
My demons are put to test
Your love keeps me at rest

Messed up
Made up
Never gave up
Loving you
Loving’s what we’ll do
My heart beats with yours
Walking through that door
One more chance
One more dance


Messed up
made up
Never gave up
Loving you
Right thing to do
Loving you

Loving you
Right thing to do

Bet my guitar for a chance
Won it back at a glance
Practiced as I schooled
Our garage band grew
Surprised ’em all—who knew?

Rockin’ the floor, out the door

Twisted fate, wasted hate
Beats go on, day by day
Crazy shit, play by play
Innocence lost today
Future of the past stays
Riddled mysteries sway
Only deceivers left to say

Rockin’ the floor, know the score

Big hits, made big time
Parties rockin’ all the time
Everyone livin’ on our dime
Friends and enemies combined
How the hell does it happen?
…the beat’s still slappin’

Still rockin’ the floor, idiots out the door

Twisted fate, wasted hate
Beats go on, day by day
Crazy shit, play by play
Innocence lost today
Future of the past stays
Riddled mysteries sway
Only deceivers left to say

Rockin’ the floor, what for

Hit the bottom, nothin’ new
Then, who the hell likes you?
Lost in time, measured lies
Everyone tells you what to do
Mysteries now—how the hell?
Gonna figure, gonna ring the bell!

Still in the game, gotta tell
Gonna find it, ring the bell
Who the hell says, who plays
Made it once, made it again
I’ll decide who’s when

Rockin’ now more than then

Twisted fate, wasted hate
Beats go on, day by day
Crazy shit, play by play
Innocence lost today
Future of the past stays
Riddled mysteries sway
Only deceivers left to say

Rockin’ it… never forgotten it
Rockin’ it for more…
Rockin’ through every door
Rockin’ the score….
Rockin’ it…
Rockin’…..
