Don't Rock The Jukebox

Roger Murrah - Keith Stegall - Alan Jackson

© Murrah Music, BMI

Don't rock the jukebox I wanna hear some Jones
My heart ain't ready for the Rolling Stones
I don't feel like rockin' since my baby's gone
So don't rock the jukebox play me a country song

Fore you drop that quarter keep one thing in mind
You got a heartbroke hillbilly standing here in line
I've been down and lonely ever since she left
Fore you punch that number could I make one request

Don't rock the jukebox I wanna hear some Jones...
[ instrumental ]
I ain't got nothin' against rock and roll
When your heart's been broken you need a song that's slow
There ain't nothin' like a steel guitar to drown a memory
Fore you spend your money babe play a song for me

And don't rock the jukebox I wanna hear some Jones...
Yeah don't rock the jukebox play me a country song

That's All I Need To Know

Jim McBride - Alan Jackson

© Cross Keys Pub, ASCAP

I had to look through our old pictures to see the way we used to smile
Before we left love in the closet like it just went out of style
Can we pull out those old feelin's wipe the hurt away like dust
Make love shine the way it used to shine find the gold beneath the rust

That's all I need to know do you wanna stay together
Just say let's don't let go and I'll keep holdin' on forever
Have the teardrops that you've cried drowned the fire in your eyes
Is there one flame beneath the smoke tell me is there any hope
That's all I need to know
[ instrumental ]
Is it too late to recover those old smiles we used to wear
Can we save a love that once was strong before it breaks beyond repair

That's all I need to know do you wanna stay together...

Is there one flame beneath the smoke tell me is there any hope
That's all I need to know

Dallas

Keith Stegall - Alan Jackson

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

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 make 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

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
[ instrumental ]
And 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...

Oh if Dallas was in Tennessee
Dallas packed her suitcase drove off in the brand new car I brought her

Midnight In Montgomery

Don Sampson - Alan Jackson

© MCA Music, ASCAP

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 nude 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
When the wind is right you'll hear his songs smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in Montgomery he's always singing there

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 passin' by
I could hear that whistle moaning I'm so lonesome I could cry

Cause it's midnight in Montgomery just hear that whippoorwill...
He's always singing there Hank's always singing there

Love's Got A Hold On You

Keith Stegall - Carson Chamberlain

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

I called my doctor on the telephone
Help me Doc there's something wrong
I can't shake it it's gone too far
He said tell me what your symptoms are

I said my hands are sweaty and my knees are weak
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 settlin' down
No more of this running round
Looked at me like I was a fool
And said come on tell us what's wrong with you

I said my hands are sweaty and my knees are weak...

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
[ instrumental ]
Oh my hands are sweaty and my knees are weak...

Sounds like love's got a hold on you
No doubt love's got a hold on you

Someday

Jim McBride - Alan Jackson

© April Music, ASCAP

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 arms and said don't leave me
There's nothing 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
Now I think it's time I stopped believing
Cause I'm never gonna see a change in you

And I said someday I'll get my life straight...
Oh sometimes someday just never comes

Just Playin' Possum

Jim McBride - Alan Jackson - Gary Overton

© Warner-Tamerlane Pub, BMI

I parked my car round back I've got the shades pulled down
I told everybody includin' my mama I was leaving town
But I've been right here since you've been gone
Belly-up at the bottom of a bottle listening to George Jones

And just playin' possum layin' low
I've got hundred watts of hurtin'
Coming through the speakers of my stereo
Don't want to see nobody nowhere I want to go
Just playin' possum and laying low
[ instrumental ]
I'm gonna hide my heart and be a love recluse
Oh I could cry on my best friend's shoulder but there ain't no use
I need an expert on the pain I'm going through
So I'll keep George on the old turntable till I'm over you

And just playin' possum. layin' low..
Tell 'em Jones he's a playin' possum and he's a layin' low

From A Distance

Randy Travis - Alan Jackson

© Sometimes You Win Music, ASCAP

Just another bar with loud guitars smoke and candles burning low
And the same ol' boys their backs to the bar starin' cross a crowded floor
Then I hear a familiar sound your voice laughing out loud

From a distance I can see you dancin' slowly with somebody new
But I can't hold you like I want to but I can love you from a distance
[ instrumental ]
So I take a chair in a corner somewhere you can't see me but I can look at you
And I remember those times when I looked in your eyes the way that he now looks at you
Deep down I know it's over it hurts me when he's so much closer

From a distance I can see you dancin' slowly with somebody new...

And if I can't hold you near me I'll just hold onto your mem'ry

From a distance I can see you dancin' slowly with somebody new...
I'll always love you from a distance

Walkin' The Floor Over Me

Don Sampson - Alan Jackson

© MCA Music, ASCAP

There's a lady living right above me
Pretty as a picture on the wall
Once I helped her with a bag of groceries
We met a time or two out in the hall

She told me somebody hurt her feelings
The hurt that's in her eyes is plain to see
Slowly she's been wearing out my ceiling
Walkin' the floor over me

Every night I hear her crying
Crying over some old memory
A little of my heart is down here dying
Cause she's walkin' the floor over me
[ instrumental ]
Back and forth I followed every footstep
Countin' long enough to fall asleep
Had the sweetest dream last night
Cause I dreamed she was walkin' the floor over me

Every night I hear her crying...
That woman is walkin' the floor over me

Workin' Class Hero

Don Sampson - Alan Jackson

© MCA Music, ASCAP

A callused right hand holds a shiny gold watch
For thirty years spent on the clock
But you won't see no tears from this workin' class hero
He's always been hard as a rock

He knows he's too old to really start over
Besides he just wouldn't know how
I guess he's just glad that he's not alone
He's got to wonder what now

Cause there's no hall of fame for that working class hero
No statute carved out of stone
His greatest reward is the love of a woman
And his children so after he's gone
That old working class hero lives on
[ instrumental ]
That three bedroom house he built in the 50's seems so much bigger today
With just him and mama and not many bills cause all of the kids moved away
What he's done with his life might not be remembered
But he's got every right to be proud
Cause the blood sweatin' years of this workin' class
Hero is really what livin's about

Cause there's no hall of fame for that working class hero...
[ guitar ]
Yes that workin' class hero lives on that workin' class hero lives on
