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 |

First I get cold and hot
think I'm on fire, but I'm not. Oh, what a pain I've got, it must be love! There's nothing I can do, all that I want is you. Look what I'm going through, it must be love! It must be love, it must be love. I fall like a sparrow and fly like a dove. You must be the dream I been dreaming of, oh what a feeling, it must be love! Something is wrong or right, I think of you all night. Can't sleep 'til morning light, It must be love! Seeing you in my dreams, holding you close to me. Oh, what else can it be? It must be love! It must be love, it must be love. I fall like a sparrow and fly like a dove. You must be the dream I been dreaming of Oh what a feeling, it must be love. (Repeat 4x, decres. on 4th time) |

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 |

Don't Rock The Jukebox
(Alan Jackson/Roger Murrah/Keith Stegall) 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 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 I ain't got nothin' Against rock & roll But when your heart's been broken You need a song that's slow 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 George 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 Ya don't rock the jukebox Play me a country song |

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 |

Pop a top again
I just got time for one more round Sit em up my friends Then I'll be gone Then you can let some other fool sit down I'd like for you'd to listen to a joke I heard today From a woman who said she was through and calmly walked away I'd tried to smile and did a while it felt so outta place Did you ever hear of a clown with tears drops streamming down his face. Pop a top again I think I'll have another round Sit em up my friend Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down. Home for me is misery and here I am wasting time Cause a row of fools on a row of stools is not what's on my mind But then you see her leaving me it's not what I perfer So it's either here just drinking beer or at home remembering her. Pop a top again I think I'll have another round Sit em up my friend Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down Pop a top again. |

If money grew on hackberry trees
If time wasn't such a luxury If love was lovesick over me That'd be alright If I could keep the wind in my sails Keep a hold of the tiger by the tail A half a ham sandwich in my lunch pail That'd be alright Chorus Yeah, That'd be alright That'd be alright If everybody everywhere had a lighter load to bear And a little bigger piece of the pie We'd be livin' us a pretty good life And that'd be alright Go heavy on the good and light on the bad A hair more happy and a shade less sad Turn all that negative down just a tad That'd be alright If my dear ol' dog never got old If my family farm never got sold If another bad joke never got told That'd be alright (Chorus x3) That'd be alright That'd be alright Yeah, That'd be alright That'd be alright.... That'd be alright |

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 |

When I look into your soft green eyes
When I see your delicate body Revealed to me as you slip off your dress I'm reminded what I feel for you Will remain strong and true Long after the pleasures of the flesh Then I'll go on loving you I'll go on loving you I'll go on loving you Be it the wind or the rain Or the moon up in the sky The spin of the earth or the changes in the tide I don't know what brought us together What strange forces of nature Conspire to construct the present From the past Then I'll go on loving you I'll go on loving you I'll go on loving you When I look into your soft green eyes When I see your delicate body Revealed to me as you slip off your dress I'm reminded what I feel for you Will remain strong and true Long after the pleasures of the flesh Then I'll go on loving you I'll go on loving you I'll go on loving you |

I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want There's johnson's hardware and morgans jewelry And the ol' Lee king's apothecary They ware the little man The little man I go back now and the stores are empty Except for an old coke sign dated 1950 Boarded up like they never existed Or renovated and called historic districts There goes the little man There goes the little man Now the court square's just a set of streets That the people go round but they seldom think Bout the little man that built this town Before the big money shut em down And killed the little man Oh the little man He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat The new stores came where you do it yourself You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf Forget the little man Forget about that little man He hung on there for a few more years But he couldn't sell slurpees And he wouldn't sell beer Now the bank rents the station To a man down the road And they sell velvet Elvis and Second-hand clothes There goes little man There goes another little man Now the court square's just a set of streets That the people go round but they seldom think Bout the little man that built this town Before the big money shut em down And killed the little man Oh the little man Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip You can buy the whole world in just one trip And save a penny cause it's jumbo size They don't even realize They'er killin' the little man Oh the little man Now the court square's just a set of streets That the people go round but they seldom think Bout the little man that built this town Before the big money shut em down And killed the little man Oh the little man It wasn't long ago when I was a child An old black man came with his mule and his plow He broke the ground where we grew our garden Back before we'd all forgoten about the little man The little man Long live the little man God bless the little man |

Everywhere you look
You can write a book On the trouble of a woman and a man But you can not impose You can't stick your nose Into something that you don't understand But still you wonder Who's cheatin' who Who's being true And who don't even care anymore It makes you wonder Who's doin' right with someone tonight And who's car is parked next door I thought I knew her well I really couldn't tell That she had another lover on her mind You see it felt so right When she held me tight How could I be so blind But still you wonder Who's cheatin' who Who's being true And who don't even care anymore It makes you wonder Who's doin' right with someone tonight Who's car is parked next door A heart is on the line Each and every time Love is stolen in the shadows of the night Though it's wrong all along It keeps goin' on As long as you keep in outta sight Still you wonder Who's cheatin' who And who's being true Who don't even care anymore It makes you wonder Who's doin' right with someone tonight Who's car is parked next door Still you wonder Who's cheatin' who And who's being true And who don't even care anymore It makes you wonder Who's doin' right with someone tonight Who's car is parked next door Still you wonder Who's cheatin' who And who's being true And who don't even care anymore It makes you wonder Who's doin' right with someone tonight Who's car is parked next door |
