Chattahoochee

Jim McBride - Alan Jackson

© Cross Keys Pub, ASCAP

Hey way down yonder on the Chattachoochee
It gets hotten than a hoochie-coochie
We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt
Got a little crazy but we never got caught

Down by the river on a Friday night
Pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking bout cars and dreaming 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
[ instrumental ]
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...
[ instrumental ]
Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee...
That's right

Gone Country

Bob McDill

© Hall-Clement Pub, BMI

She's been playin' that room on the strip for ten years in Vegas
Every night she looks in the mirror but she only ages
She's been readin' bout Nashville and all the records that everybody's buyin'
Says I'm a sinple 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 country here she comes
[ instrumental ]
Well the folk scene's dead but he's holdin' out in the village
He's been writin' songs speakin' 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 they're not as backward as they used to be

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
[ instrumental ]
He commutes to LA but he's got a house in the valley
But the bills are pilin' up and the pop scene just ain't on a rally
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

Yeah he's gone country look at them boots...

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 country the whole world's gone country we're gone

She's Got The Rhythm (And I Got The Blues)

Randy Travis - Alan Jackson

© Sometimes You Win Music, ASCAP

The old bar stool's feelin' higher cause I've started sinkin' 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 new out on that floor

Yes she's got the rhythm and I got the blues
She's showin' me how much I had to lose
With her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you
She's got the rhythm and I got the blues
[ instrumental ]
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 need 'em
Cause when you choose sometimes you lose the prize

Yes she's got the rhythm and I got the blues...

Yeah with her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you
She's got the rhythm and I got the blues

Midnight In Montgomery

Don Sampson - Alan Jackson

© WB 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 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
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

Chasin' That Neon Rainbow

Jim McBride - Alan Jackson

© April Music, ASCAP

Daddy won a radio he tuned it to a country show
I was rockin' in the cradle to the cryin' 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 ever really take it this far
I'm singin' in the bars

Chasin' that neon rainbow and livin' that honky tonk dream
Cause all I've ever wanted was to pick this guitar and sing
Just tryin' to be somebody just wanna be heard and seen
I'm chasin' that neon rainbow livin' that honky tonk dream
[ instrumental ]
An Atlas and a coffee cup five pickers in an old Dodge truck
Headin' down to Houston for a show on Saturday night
This overhead is killin' me half the time I sing for free
When the crowd's into it Lord it makes this thing I'm doing seem right
Standin' in the spotlight

Chasin' that neon rainbow and livin' that honky tonk dream...

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 someday
I made it up to Music Row but Lordy don't the wheels turn slow
Still I wouldn't trade a minute and I wouldn't have it any other way
Just show me to the stage

Chasin' that neon rainbow and livin' that honky tonk dream...
Oh I'm chasin' that neon rainbow livin' that honky tonk dream

Here we are talkin' bout forever
Both know damn well It's not easy together
We've both felt love we've both felt pain
I'll take the sunshine over the rain

And I'll try to love only you
And I'll try my best to be true
Oh darling I'll try

So I'm not scared it's worth a chance to me
Take my hand let's face eternity
Well I can't tell you that I'll never change
But I can swear that in every way that

I'll try to love only you...

I'm not perfect, just another man
But I will give you all that I am

And I'll try to love only you...

Don't Rock The Jukebox

Roger Murrah - Keith Stegall - Alan Jackson

© Acuff-Rose 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

Before 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
Before 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
Before you spend your money baby play a song for me

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

Livin' On Love

Alan Jackson

© WB Music, ASCAP

Two young people without a thing say some vows and spread their wings
Settle down with just 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 nothin' ain't worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book ryhme 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
[ instrumental ]
Two old people without a thing children gone still they sing
Side by side in that front porch swing livin' on love
He can't see anymore she can't barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand the'll walk through that door just livin' on love

Livin' on love buyin' on time...
Yeah livin' on love buyin' on time...
No it doesn't take much when you get enough livin' on love

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

A stark naked light bulb hangs over my head
There's one lonely pillow on my double bed
Yeah I've got a ceiling a floor and four walls
Who says you can't have it all

My room's decorated with pictures of you
Your letters wallpaper this shrine to the blues
I've got precious mem'ries at my beck and call
Oh who says you can't have it all

I've got everything a broken heart needs
Oh I'm doing fine don't you worry bout me
Cause I'm Lord and Master of a fool's Taj Mahal
Oh who says you can't have it all

I've got everything a broken heart needs...
Oh who says you can't have it all

Home

Alan Jackson

© WB Music, ASCAP

In a small town down in Georgia over forty years ago
Her maiden name was Musick when she met that Jackson boy
They married young like folks did back then not a penny to their name
But they believed the one you vowed to love should always stay the same

On the land his daddy gave them a foundation underway
For a love to last forever or until their dying days
They built a bond that's strong enough to stand test the of time
And a place for us to turn to when our lives were in a bind

And they made their house from a tool shed grandaddy rolled down on two logs
And they built walls all around it and they made that house a home
They taught us about good living they 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 then there was me
She found her strength with faith in God and 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

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
And folks drove their cars from miles around to let him look neath the hood

And they made their house from a tool shed grandaddy rolled down on two logs...
There'll never be another place in this world that I'll call home

Excuse me m'am can you help me
I need to place an ad with you today
No m'am tomorrow may be too late
I'd like to have it started right away

What's that no this is personal
I'm not buying or selling anything
Yes m'am I know just what to say
I wrote it down this is how it should read

Wanted one good hearted woman to forgive
Imperfection in the man that she loved
Wanted just one chance to tell her how much he still loves her
He can't be sorry enough

What's that no that's all I want to say
I just hope these few lines will get to her
Yes m'am she means everything
I hope she comes back when she reads these words

Wanted one good hearted woman to forgive...

I Don't Even Know Your Name

Alan Jackson - Ron Jackson - Andy Loftin

© WB Music, ASCAP

Well I was sittin' in a road house down on Highway 41
You're wipin' 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 missin' her front tooth
So I flagged you down for coffee but I couldn't say 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 at 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
[ instrumental ]
So I ordered straight tequila a little courage in a shot
I asked you for a date and I asked to tie the knot
I got a little wasted yeah I went a little far
But 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

Yeah I'm in love with you baby and I don't even know your name...
[ instrumental ]
The next thing I remember I was hearing weddin' bells
Standing by a woman in a long white lacy veil
I raised the veil 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

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

Here In The Real World

Alan Jackson - Mark Irwin

Cowboys don't cry and heroes don't die
Good always wins again and again
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 darling it's sad but true but the one thing I learned from you
Is how the boy don't always get the girl here in the real world
[ instrumental ]
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...
No 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 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

I'd Love You All Over Again

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

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
[ instrumental ]
The preacher man said till 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 mem'ries just keep adding up

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
