Well, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt We got a little crazy but we never got caught. Down by the river on a Friday night Pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women Never had a plan, just a livin' for the minute. Yeah, way down yonder on the Chattahoochee Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was A lot about livin' and a little 'bout love. Ya ha Well, we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy I was willin' but she wasn't ready So I settled for a burger and a grape sno-cone I dropped her off early but I didn't go home. Down by the river on a Friday night Pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight Talkin' 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women Never had a plan, just a livin' for the minute. Yeah, way down yonder on the Chattahochee Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was A lot about livin' and a little 'bout love.

She's been playing in a room on the strip for ten years in Vegas
Every night she looks in the mirror and she only ages She's been readin' about Nashville and all the records that everybody's buying Says, I'm a simple girl myself, grew up on Long Island So she packs her bags to try her hand Says this might be my last chance She's gone country, look at them boots She's gone country, back to her roots She's gone country, a new kind of suit She's gone counrty, here she comes Well the folk scene's dead, but he's holding out in the Village He's been writing songs, speaking out against wealth and privilege He says, I don't believe in money, but a man could make him a killin' 'Cause some of that stuff don't sound much different than Dylan I hear down there it's changed, you see Well, they're not as backward as they used to be He's gone country, look at his boots He's gone country, back to his roots He's gone country, a new kind of suit He's gone country, here he comes He commutes to L.A., but he's got a house in the Valley But the bills are piling up and the pop scene just ain't on the rally And he says, honey, I'm a serious composer, schooled in voice and composition But with the crime and the smog these days, this ain't no place for children Lord, it sounds so easy, this shouldn't take long Be back in the money in no time at all He's gone country, look at them boots He's gone country, back to his roots He's gone country, a new kind of suit He's gone country, here he comes Yeah, he's gone country, a new kind of walk He's gone country, a new kind of talk He's gone country, look at them boots He's gone country, oh, back to his roots He's gone country He's gone country Everybody's gone country Yeah, we've gone county The whole worild's gone country |

She's Got The Rhythm (And I Got The Blues) (Print the Lyrics) (Alan Jackson/Randy Travis) This old bar stools feeling higher As a started sinking lower The minute that she waltzed right through that door Not long ago I held her Like a fool I went and left her Now she's with somebody else out on that floor And she's got the rhythm and I got the blues And she's showing me how much I had to lose With her every little move she's telling me I'm over you She's got the rhythm and I got the blues Well that music's gettin' louder As my heart keeps beatin' faster As she spells out regret in perfect time Well I thought I wanted freedom But that ball and chain I needed 'Cause when you choose, sometimes you lose the prize And she's got the rhythm and I got the blues And she's showing me how much I had to lose With her every little move she's telling me I'm over you She's got the rhythm and I got the blues With her every little move she's telling me I'm over you She's got the rhythm and I got the blues |

Midnight in Montgomery, silver eagle, lonely road
I was on my way to Mobile, for a big New Year's Eve show I stopped for just a minute, to see a friend outside of town Put my collar up, I found his name, and felt the wind die down And a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise Wearing shiny boots, a Nudi suit, and haunting haunted eyes He said friend it's good to see you, it's nice to know you care Then the wind picked up and he was gone, was he ever really there 'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery, just hear that whippoorwill See the stars light up the purple sky, feel that lonesome chill 'Cause when the wind is right, you'll hear his songs, smell whiskey in the air Midnight in Montgomery, he's always singing there Well I climbed back on that eagle, took one last look around Through red tail lights, the shadow moved slow across the ground And off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by I could hear that whistle moan, I'm so lonesome I could cry 'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery, just hear that whippoorwill And see the stars light up the purple sky, feel that lonesome chill 'Cause when the wind is right, you'll hear his songs, smell whiskey in the air Midnight in Montgomery, he's always singing there He's always singing there, Hank's always singing there |

Daddy won a radio
He tuned it to a country show I was rocking in the cradle to the crying of a steel guitar Mama used to sing to me She taught me that sweet harmony Now she worries cause she never thought I'd really ever take it this far Singin' in the bars CHORUS: And chasin' that neon rainbow Livin' that honky tonk dream Cause all I've ever wanted Is to pick this guitar and sing It's time to be somebody Just wanna be heard and sing I'm chasin' that neon rainbow Livin' that honky tonk dream And it was at a coffee cup Five pickers and an old Dodge truck Headin' down to Houston for a show on Saturday night This overhead is killing me Half the time I sing for free When the crowd�s into it, lord, It makes this thing I'm doing seem right Standing in the spotlight CHORUS Now daddy's got a radio He won it thirty years ago He said; son I just know We're gonna hear you singin� on it some day I made it up to music row Lordy, don't the wheels turn slow Still I wouldn't trade a minute I wouldn't have it any other way Just show me to the stage CHORUS |

Two young people without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings And settle down with just what they need Livin' on love She don't care 'bout what's in style She just likes the way he smiles It takes more than marble and tile Livin' on love Livin' on love, buyin' on time Without somebody, nothing ain't worth a dime Just like an old-fashioned story book rhyme Livin' on love It sounds simple, that's what you're thinkin' But love can walk through fire without blinkin' It doesn't take much when you get enough Livin' on love Two old people without a thing Children gone but still they sing Side by side on that front porch swing Livin' on love He can't see anymore She can barely sweep the floor Hand in hand they'll walk through that door Just livin' on love Livin' on love, buyin' on time Without somebody, nothing ain't worth a dime Just like an old-fashioned story book rhyme Livin' on love It sounds simple, that's what you're thinkin' But love can walk through fire without blinkin' It doesn't take much when you get enough Livin' on love Livin' on love, buyin' on time Without somebody, nothing ain't worth a dime Just like an old-fashioned story book rhyme Livin' on love Well, it sounds simple, that's what you're thinkin' But love can walk through fire without blinkin' It doesn't take much when you get enough Livin' on love No, it doesn't take much when you get enough Livin' on love |

I called my doctor on the telephone
"Help me doctor, there's something wrong I can't shake it, it's gone too far" He said, "Tell me what your symptoms are" (chorus) I said "My hands are sweaty and my knees are week I can't eat and I can't sleep It's turning me every way but loose" He said, "It sounds like love's got a hold on you No doubt, love's got a hold on you" I told my buddies I was settling down No more of this running 'round They looked at me like I was a fool And said "Come on tell us what's wrong with you" chorus Well I tossed and turned 'till the morning light Holding my pillow hanging on for life There ain't nothing I can do They said, "It sounds like love's got a hold on you Sounds like love's got a hold on you" chorus |

In small town down in Georgia
Over 40 years ago Her maden name was Musey Until she met that Jackson boy They married young like folks did then Not a penny to their name They believed the one you vowed to love Should always stay the same And on the land his daddy gave him A foundation underway For a love to last forever Or until their dying day They built a bond that's strong enough To stand the test a time And a place for us to turn to When our lives were in bind And they made their house from a toolshed Grandaddy rolled out on two logs And they built walls all around it And they made that house a home And they taught us 'bout good living And taught us right from wrong Lord, there'll never be another place In this world that I'll call home My mama raised five children Four girls, and there was me She found her strength in faith of God And a love of family She never had a social life Home was all she knew Except the time she took a job To pay a bill or two And my daddy skinned his knuckles On the cars that he repaired He never earned much money But he gave us all he had He never made the front page But he did the best he could Folks drove the cars from miles around And let 'em look underneath the hood And they made their house from a toolshed Grandaddy rolled out on two logs And they built walls all around it And they made that house a home And they taught us 'bout good living And taught us right from wrong Lord, there'll never be another place In this world that I'll call home There'll never be another place In this world that I'll call home |

Well I was sitting in a roadhouse down on Highway 41
You were wiping off some ketchup on a table that was done I knew you didn't see me, I was in a corner booth Of course you weren't my waitress, mine was missing her front tooth So I flagged you down for coffee, but I couldn't see a thing But I'm in love with you, baby, and I don't even know your name I'm in love with you baby, I don't even know your name I've never been too good with all those sexual games So maybe it's just better if we leave it this way I'm in love with you, baby, and I don't even know your name So I ordered straight tequila, a little courage in a shot And I asked you for a date and then I asked to tie the knot I got a little wasted, yeah, I went a little far I finally got to hug you when you helped me to my car The last thing I remember I heard myself say I'm in love with you, baby, and I don't even know your name I'm in love with you baby, I don't even know your name I've never been too good with all those sexual games So maybe it's just better if we leave it this way I'm in love with you, baby, and I don't even know your name The next thing I remember, I was hearing wedding bells Standing by a woman in a long white lacy veil I raised the veil and she smiled at me without her left front tooth And I said where the hell am I and just who the hell are you? She said, I was your waitress and our last name's now the same 'Cause I'm married to you, baby, and I don't even know your name Yeah, I'm married to a waitress, I don't even know her name I've never been too good at all those sexual games I never thought my love life would quite turn out this way Hey, I'm married to a waitress and I don't even know her name |

Dallas packed her suitcase
And drove off in the brand new car I bought her She made leaving me look easy I wish she'd made it look a little harder I took her out of Texas When she was just a girl But old Tennessee and me Couldn't take Texas out of her On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee If I could move Texas east Then she'd be here with me Then nothin' else would come between the two of us If Dallas was in Tennessee By now she's leaving Memphis And everything we had behind her Lord I hope the gold band on her hand Will serve as a reminder That true love is a treasure That's very seldom found But you can't stay together if there's no common ground Oh how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee If I could move Texas east Then she'd be here with me Then nothin' else would come between the two of us If Dallas was in Tennessee Oh if Dallas was in Tennessee Dallas packed her suitcase And drove off in the brand new car I bought her |

Cowboys don't cry, and heroes don't die
Good always wins, again and again And love is a sweet dream, that always comes true Oh if life were like the movies, I'd never be blue But here in the real world, it's not that easy at all 'Cause when hearts get broken, it's real tears that fall And darlin' it's sad but true, but the one thing I've learned from you Is how the boy don't always get the girl, here in the real world I gave you my love, but that wasn't enough To hold your heart, when times got rough And tonight on that silver screen, it'll end like it should Two lovers will make it through, like I hoped we would But here in the real world, it's not that easy at all 'Cause when hearts get broken, it's real tears that fall And darlin' it's sad but true, but the one thing I've learned from you Is how the boy don't always get the girl, here in the real world |

She looked me in the eye and said it's over
I can't take this heartache, anymore She said don't tell me lies and try to please me I've heard it all so many times before And I took her by the arm and said don't leave me There's nothin' in this world, I wouldn't do Just give me time, I'll be the man you've needed She said I wish that I could take that, for the truth And I said someday, I'll get my life straight And she said it's too late, what's done is done And I told her someday, she said I can't wait 'Cause sometimes someday, just never comes She said all I've ever wanted, was to love you And somewhere deep inside me I still do But now I think it's time I stopped believin' 'Cause I'm never gonna see a change in you And I said someday, I'll get my life straight And she said it's too late, what's done is done And I told her someday, she said I can't wait 'Cause sometimes someday just never comes Sometimes someday just never comes |

Has it been ten years
Since we said "I do" I've always heard marriage Made one seem like two But you're looking better Than you did back then You still make this old heart give in Chorus: And if I had it to do all over I'd do it all over again If tomorrow I found one more chance to begin I'd love you all over again The preacher man said "Til death do us part" That seemed like forever To a young man's heart Now the days seem much shorter The longer we love And the memories just keep adding up Chorus: And if I had it to do all over I'd still do it all over again If tomorrow I found one more chance to begin I'd love you all over again If tomorrow I found One more chance to begin I'd love you all over again... |
