Tema: Alan Jackson

A Woman's Love

I have known it
And I have felt it
I have known a woman's love
And I have tasted
And I have wasted
A woman's love

And I know
I know I'll never understand it
All the little things that make it grand and
A woman's love
And I know
I know I'll never come face to face
With anything that takes the place
Of a woman's love

Well I have kissed it
Tried to resist it
I have missed a woman's love
And I have hated
Taken for granted
A woman's love

And I know
I know I'll never understand it
All the little things that make it grand and
A woman's love
And I know
I know I'll never come face to face
With anything that takes the place
Of a woman's love

Well I have needed
And I have pleaded
And I have lost a woman's love
And I have worshipped
And I have cursed it
A woman's love

And I know
I know I'll never understand it
All the little things that make it grand
A woman's love
And I know
I know I'll never come to face to face
With anything that takes the place
Of a woman's love

And I know
I know I'll never come face to face...

All American Country Boy

I work a forty hour week and I earn my keep
And I try to walk proud and tall
I keep my nose to the grind, I don't get behind
And I don't back up at all

Well my neck's a little red, my collar's blue
I sip a little coffee and I drink a little booze

Cause I'm an all American country boy
I'm my daddy's spittin' image and my mamma's pride and joy
There ain't nothin' down home that I really don't enjoy
Cause I'm an all American country boy

I drive a pickup truck and I don't pass the buck
And I always speak my mind
I'm hooked on TV, Rolaids, and B.C.'s
And I know how to have a good time

I'm a little bit rowdy and a little bit tame
Ain't no way I'm ever gonna change

Cause I'm an all American country boy
I'm my daddy's spittin' image and my mamma's pride and joy
There ain't nothin' down home that I really don't enjoy
Cause I'm an all American country boy

Well I must admit that I've mellowed a bit
Father time can slow you down
I'm still doin' all I used to do
It just takes a little longer now

Cause I'm an all American country boy
I'm my daddy's spittin' image and my mamma's pride and joy
There ain't nothin' down home that I really don't enjoy
Cause I'm an all American country boy
I'm just a country boy
A good ol' country boy

Another Good Reason

I woke up the other night lyin' on the floor
Just because of what I said before
She said, "My name's Juliet, but Romeo you ain't"
That's another good reason not to drink

That's another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober, I'm almost a saint
If I keep goin' on like this, I'll end up like ol' Hank
That's another good reason not to drink

I can't go see my best friend, he said stay away
Just because of what I said on his wedding day
"You ought to call her Sherman, 'cause she looks just like a tank"
That's another good reason not to drink

That's another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober, I'm almost a saint
If I keep goin' on like this, I'll end up like ol' Hank
That's another good reason not to drink
I'm gonna sue the city about that police man

Last night as I left the bar, he stepped right on my hand
He, "Are you drunk or blind"; I said, "Let me think"
That's another good reason not to drink
That's another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober, I'm almost a saint

If I keep goin' on like this, I'll end up like ol' Hank
That's another good reason not to drink
That's another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober, I'm almost a saint
If I keep goin' on like this, I'll end up like ol' Hank

That's another good reason
Baby, let me in, I'm freezin'
Another good reason not to drink

Anywhere On Earth You Are

I've been riding these blue highways
Another night has made me stop
My weary bones can go no farther
And here's where they'll drop

In my dreams your arms will find me
They will hold me through the night
Then release me to my journey
As another day grows light

I've got so many miles to go
And promises to keep
Right now all I wanna do
Is be anywhere on earth you are

I've always been a gypsy
And the road calls me to roam
But each day brings me closer
To the place where we call home

Still got many miles to go
And promises to keep
Right now all I wanna do
Is be anywhere on earth you are

In my dreams your arms will find me
They will hold me through the night
Right now all I wanna do
Is be anywhere on earth you are

Are You Washed In The Blood

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

[Chorus:]
Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Lay aside your garments that are stained with sin
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb.
There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean.
O, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
[Chorus]

As Lovely As You

A big moon is risin'
So bright in the sky
But it won't shine brighter
Than the stars in your eyes

It rises above me
So bright and so blue
And I won't see anyone
As lovely as you

Take me into the night
Pass these lonely dreams
in my heart
I love you
More than I can show you
More than I can know in my heart

So lay down beside me
And hold me tonight
For your love has found me
And it feels so right

These thoughts in my mind
Are so scattered and few
But I won't see anyone
As lovely as you

Take me into the night
Pass these lonely dreams
in my heart
I love you
More than I can show you
More than I can know in my heart
In my heart

Blessed Assurance

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.

[Refrain:]
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
[Refrain]

Bluebird

I'm lost in the night
The icy wind is howling out your name
And desolation lingers
Like a fog
The fires growing dimmer
In the wind

I'm out in the rain
The moon is gone behind the clouds again
And I can't stand to live
Another day
Cause my bluebird went away

And I'm locked in this room
With my sorrow
No escape
No way to get away

And my only connection
with tomorrow
Is hopin' that you might decide to not stay away

Well I'm out on a limb
If I could only find sweet love again
To live my life this way is too much to bear
Can't find my bluebird anywhere

I'm out in the rain
The moon is gone behind the clouds again
And I can't stand to live another day
Bluebird why'd you go away?
Bluebird why'd you go away?

Buicks To The Moon

How long will I love you
I don't really know
I'd like to think forever
Is how far we could go so let me paint a picture
Of how it's gonna be
The day you don't mean everything to me

When a nickel's worth a dollar
And gold ain't worth a dime
When they build a ship
On waters that will take you back in time
When the stars have all been counted
And I stop lovin' you
Honey they'll be driving
Buicks to the moon

Now you don't have to worry
About what comes to pass
This old world may wear out
But my love's gonna last
If they ever build that highway to the moon
I'll just fond somethin else to promise you

When a nickel's worth a dollar
And gold ain't worth a dime
When they build a ship
On waters that will take you back in time
When the stars have all been counted
And I stop lovin' you
Honey they'll be driving
Buicks to the moon

Oh when the stars have all been counted
And I stop lovin' you
Honey they'll be drivin'
Buicks to the moon

Burnin' The Honky Tonks Down

She's burnin' the honky tonks down
Burnin' the honky tonks down
Smoke's been rising all over town
She's burnin' the honky tonks down

She's burnin' the honky tonks down
She caught me runnin' around
She was dancin' in the ashes
When they caught her with them matches
She's burnin' the honky tonks down

Well she's burnin' the honky tonks down
I tried but I could not put them out
Did the best to save the whiskey
But the flame's just too risky
She's burnin' the honky tonks down

She's burnin' the honky tonks down
She couldn't stop that honky tonk sound
It was sizzlin' like a griddle
When I ran out with my fiddle
She's burnin' the honky tonks down

She's burnin' the honky tonks down
She's down in the jailhouse now
Said she felt no remorse
For breakin' out that torch

She's burnin' the honky tonks down
Burnin' the honky tonks down
Smoke's been a rising all over town
She's burnin' the honky tonks down

Chasin That Neon Rainbow

Daddy won a radio
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
Taught me that sweet harmony
Now she worries 'cause she never thought
I'd ever really take it this far

Singin' in the bars
Chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
All I've ever wanted
Was to pick this guitar and sing

Just tryin' to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and seen
Chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream

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
But when the crowd's into it
Lord it makes this thing I'm doing seem right
Standin in the spotlight

Singin' in the bars
Chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
All I've ever wanted
Was to pick this guitar and sing

Just tryin' to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and seen
Chasin' that neon rainbow
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

Singin' in the bars
Chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
All I've ever wanted
Was to pick this guitar and sing

Just tryin' to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and seen
Chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream

I'm chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream

Country Boy

Excuse me ma’am, I saw you walkin’
I turned around, I’m not a stalker
Where you going? Maybe I can help you
My tank is full, and I’d be obliged to take you

‘Cause I’m a country boy, I’ve got a 4-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I’ll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you need to go
’cause I’m a country boy

You sure look good, sittin’ in my right seat
Buckle up, I’ll take you through the five speeds
Wind it up, or I can slow it way down
In the woods or right uptown

I’m a country boy, I’ve got a 4-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I’ll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you need to go
’cause I’m a country boy

Big 35’s whinin’ on the asphalt
Grabbin’ mud, and slingin’ up some red dirt
’cause I’m a country boy

My muffler’s loud, dual Thrush tubes
I crank the music, the tone gets real good
Let me know when we’re gettin’ close
You can slide on out, or we can head on down the road

‘Cause I’m a country boy, I’ve got a 4-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I’ll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you wanna go
’cause I’m a country boy

Bucket seats, soft as baby’s new butt
Lockin’ hubs, that’ll take you through a deep rut

‘Cause I’m a country boy, I’ve got a 4-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I’ll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down winding roads
I can get you where you need to go
‘Cause I’m a country boy

Yea I’m a country boy, I’ve got a 4-wheel drive
Climb in my bed, I’ll take you for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get you where you wanna go
’cause I’m a country boy

Yeah, I'm a country boy,
Oh, I'm just a country boy,
A nice little country boy.

Don't Ask Why

Ask me any kind of question
Anything you wanna know
Tell you all about my lovers
Heartaches and laughter
From a long time ago

Ask me if I'm finally happy
I've never really been before
Ever since you happened to me
I've told all my secrets
I don't have anymore

Ask me now
And I won't tell a lie
Ask me how
I've been feelin' inside
When somebody loves you
You know that it's true
Don't ask why

And ask me if I really mean it
When I tell you I love you
Ask me will I please repeat it
I'll tell you forever if you want me to

And ask me now
And I won't tell a lie
Ask me how
I've been feelin' inside
When somebody loves you
And you know that it's true
Don't ask why
Now don't ask why

Don't Change On Me

Girl you're my sunshine
Chase away the raindrops
Make it all worthwhile
Make all the pain stop

Just like the river
Keep love flowin'
Don't let our world stop
Keep it goin'

I like it just the way you are
Honey don't change who you are
Don't change on me
Don't you change on me

Girl you're my lucky star
Honey don't change who you are
Don't change on me
Don't change on me

I used to wonder
Where would I find
Some kind of happiness
And peace of mind
Livin' in the darkness
Then you came
Bringin' sunlight
Easin' my pain

I love you just the way you are
Honey don't change who you are
Girl don't change on me
Don't you change on me

Girl you're my lucky star
Honey don't change who you are
Don't change on me
Don't you change on me

If there's a heaven
This is my prayer
Lord knows I wanna know you
We should meet there
And then forever
We'll walk together
Nothin' but sunshine
No more stormy weather

I love you just the way you are
Honey don't change who you are
Don't change on me
Don't you change on me

Girl you're my lucky star
Honey don't change who you are
Don't change on me
Don't change on me
Oh now
I love you just the way you are
Honey don't change who you are
Don't change on me
Don't you change on me
Girl you're my lucky star
Honey don't change who you are
Don't change on me
Don't change on me

Drive (For Daddy Gene)

It was painted red the stripe was white
It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light
Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
We put on a shine; put on a motor
Built out of love, made for the water
Ran her for years, 'til the transom got rotten
A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten

It was just on old plywood boat
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
A young boy two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And I would turn her sharp
And I would make her whine
He'd say, "you can't beat the way an old wood boat rides"
Just a little lake across the Alabama line
But I was king of the ocean
When daddy let me drive

Just an old half ton shortbed ford
My uncle bought new in '64
Daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
He let me drive her when we'd haul off a load
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal

It was just an old hand-me-down Ford
With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door
A young boy two honds on the wheel
I canö³t replace the way it mode me feel
And I would press that clutch
And I would keep it right
And he'd say, "a little slower son you're doing just fine"
Just a dirt rood with trash on each side
But I was Mario Andretti
When daddy let me drive

I'm grown up now three daughters of my own
I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
And pull out that old memory
And think of me and smile and say

It was just an old worn out Jeep
Rusty old floorboard, hot on my feet
A young girl two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And he'd say, "turn it left and steer it right,
Straighten up girl, you're doing just fine"
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
But I was high on a mountain
When daddy let me drive

When daddy let me drive

Oh he let me drive

Daddy let me drive

It's just an old plywood boat
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke

Everything I Love

Coffee keeps me up and I can't sleep
And when I drink too much then I can't eat
Losing you has led me to believe
Everything I love is killing me

Everything I love is killing me
Cigarettes, Jack Daniels and caffeine
And that's the way you're turning out to be
Everything I love, gonna have to give up
'Cause everything I love is killing me

I guess I made a big mistake
Thinkin' you're a habit I can break
Well, I'm addicted to you now I see
Everything I love is killing me

Everything I love is killing me
Cigarettes, Jack Daniels and caffeine
And that's the way you're turning out to be
Everything I love, gonna have to give up
'Cause everything I love is killing me
Everything I love, gonna have to give up
'Cause everything I love is killing me

Gone Crazy

Here I am all alone again tonight
In this old empty house
It's hard to learn what you don't think you need
You can't live without
Never leave the sound of the telephone
But ever since you left
I've been gone

Gone carzy, goin' out of my mind
I've asked myself the reasons,
at least least thousand times
Goin' up and down this hallway
Tryin' to leave the pain behind
Ever since you left, I've been gone

I never saw your face this many times
When you were really here
The things you said I never understood
Are now crystal clear
I never spent this much time at home
But ever since you left,
I've been gone

Gone carzy, goin' out of my mind
I've asked myself the reasons,
at least least thousand times
Goin' up and down this hallway
Tryin' to leave the pain behind
Ever since you left, I've been gone

Good Imitation Of The Blues

You called it quits
And hung up the phone
Now go love
The one you choose

And my friends say I should be happy
But if I'm happy
This is a good imitation of the blues

You threatened to leave
One too many times
I'm gettin' out
My travelin' shoes

And now that you're gone
I'm gonna be walkin' on
With this good imitation of the blues

My friends all say
You're no good without me
They tell me
That's good for you

And they say that I'm
just feelin' fine
With this good imitation of the blues

You threatened to leave
One too many times
I'm gettin' out
My travelin' shoes

And now that you're gone
I'm gonna be walkin' on
With this good imitation of the blues

Good Time

Work, work all week long
Punchin' that clock from dusk till dawn.
Countin' the days till Friday night
That's when all the conditions are right.
For a good time
I need a good time.

Yea, I've been workin' all week
And I'm tired and I don't wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It's time for a good time

I cashed my check, cleaned my truck
Put on my hat, forgot about work
Sun goin' down, head across town
Pick up my baby and turn it around
Good time,
Aahh, I need a good time

I've been workin' all week
And I'm tired and I don't wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
Time for a good time

HEY!

Pig in the ground, beer on ice
Just like ole Hank taught us about
Singin' along, Bocephus songs
Rowdy friends all night long
Good time
Lord, we're having a good time,

Yea, I've been workin' all week
And I'm tired and I don't wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It's time for a good time

Whew

Heel toe dosey doe
Scootin' our boots, swingin' doors
B & D Kix and Dunn
Honkin' tonk heaven, Double shotgun
Good time,
Lord, we're havin' a good time

Cause I've been workin' all week
And I'm tired and I don't wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It's time for a good time

Shot of Tequila, beer on tap
Sweet southern woman set on my lap
G with an O, O with a D
T with an I and an M and an E
And a good time
Shhheww, good time
I've been workin' all week
And I'm tired and I don't wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It's time for a good time

Ahh, turn it up now.

A Shot of Tequila.
Beer on tap.
A good looking woman.
To set on my lap.

A G with an O, an O with a D
A T with an I an M with an E
That spells good time
A good time

Ohh, I've been workin' all week
And I'm tired and I don't wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
Time for a good time

Twelve o'clock, two o'clock three o'clock four
Five o'clock we know were that's gonna go
Closing the door, shuttin' em down
Head for that Waffle House way across town
Good time
Ohh, we're havin' a good time.
Ohh, I've been workin' all week
And I'm tired and I don't wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It's time for a good time

Ohh, I've been workin' all week
And I'm tired and I don't wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It's time for a good time

Ohh, I've been workin' all week
And I'm tired and I don't wanna sleep
I wanna have fun
It's time for a good time

Ohh, yea, a good time.

I need a good time.

Yea, a good time.

Had It Not Been You

The girl's wouldn't look anything like they do
Can't imagine my life without dresses and shoes
Or never taking a sunset from a front porch swing
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings
I'd been alone for sure
Had it not been you

I wouldn't reach for your arms
When my dreams don't come true
Never sit holding hands
On a crowded church pew
I wouldn't smile when my fingers run through your hair
Or laugh when we race to the top of the stairs
I'd get old for sure
Had it not been you

You know there are times
That I can't wait to pick up the phone
When you're callin'
And the three little voices
That always chime in right along
When we're talkin'

Oh I never would see through
eyes of truth
And my heart
would have overlooked
a view that some just talk of
and never find
In a lifetime

It's hard to describe
in just words how I feel
when I hold stand beside you
But I make it known
It's just time that I kill
When I'm alone and without you
I will love all through the night
If you love me
As long as I wake up each morning
I'll know I'm the only one around
For a lifetime

I'd never have taken in a sunset from the front porch swing
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings
I'd been alone for sure
Had it not been you

Here In The Real World

Cowboys dont cry, and heroes dont die
Good always wins, again and again
Love is a sweet dream that always comes true
Oh, if life were like the movies, Id never be blue

Chorus
But here in the real world
Its not that easy at all
cause when hearts get broken
Its real tears that fall
And darlin its sad but true
But the one thing Ive learned from you
Is how the boy dont always get the girl
Here in the real world

I gave you my love, but that wasnt enough
To hold your heart when times got rough
And tonight on that silver screen
Itll end like it should
Two lovers will make it through
Like I hoped we would
Repeat

Repeat chorus

No, the boy dont always get the girl
Here in the real world

Hole In The Wall

There's a hole in the wall
Where a nail used to be
A nail that held a picture of
The one that once held me

Now that wall's tellin' me
What I don't wanna hear
I'm tired of the word "fool"
Ringin' in my ears

Oh I guess a saner man
Would simply paint it
But I'm not sane and after all
It's my wall, ain't it
I've got this hammer in my hand
And when I'm through
There'll be a hole in that wall
Big enough to drive a truck through

When you lose the greatest love
You've ever had
A little hole in the wall
Is enough to drive you mad

Oh I guess a saner man
Would simply paint it
But I'm not sane and after all
It's my wall, ain't it
I've got this hammer in my hand
And when I'm through
There'll be a hole in that wall
Big enough to drive a truck through

Oh I've got this hammer in my hand
And when I'm through
There'll be a hole in that wall
Big enough to drive a truck through

How Great Thou Art

Oh Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works
Thy hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed

Then sings my soul
My Saviour, God, to Thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul
My Saviour, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

When Christ shall come
With shouts of adulation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim My God
How great Thou art

Then sings my soul
My Saviour, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Saviour, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

How great Thou art
How great Thou art...

I Don't Need The Booze (to Get A Buzz On)

I've been known to tie one on and honky tonk til half past three
But the party don't get started til my baby pours her love on me
She's a hundred proof, Lord, she's smooth
She makes me moan all night long
So I don't need the booze to get a buzz on

I've tried it all from Tennessee Whiskey
To Ozark Mountian Moonshine
But it's her sweet love that packs the punch
And keeps me higher than a Georgia pine

My Southern Comfort don't come in a bottle
I get a double shot of love homegrown
So I don't need the booze to get a buzz on

My little country girl makes my head whirl and my knees begin to shake
No. I can't walk a chalk line, I ain't a-talking or a-thinking straight
I'm hooked on my baby's love, there ain't nothing in a jug this strong
And I don't need the booze to get a buzz on

I've tried it all from Tennessee Whiskey
To Ozark Mountian Moonshine
But it's her sweet love that packs the punch
And keeps me higher than a Georgia pine

My Southern Comfort don't come in a bottle
I get a double shot of love homegrown
So I don't need the booze to get a buzz on

I wear a Blue Ribbon grin every now and then,
But I don't need that to get stoned,
I don't need the booze to get a buzz on
No, I don't need the booze to get a buzz on

I Love To Tell The Story

I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and his glory,
Of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story,
Because I know 'tis true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else can do.

[Refrain:]
I love to tell the story,
'twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and his love.

I love to tell the story,
For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song,
'twill be the old, old story
That I have loved so long.
[Refrain]

I Want To Stroll Over Heaven With You

If I survey all the good things that come to me from above
If I count all the blessings from the storehouse of love
I'd simply ask for the favor of him beyond mortal king
And I'm sure he would grant it again
I want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad day
When all our troubles and heartaches are vanished away
Then we'll enjoy the beauty where all things are new
I want to stroll over Heaven with you

So many places of beauty we long to see here below
But time and treasures have kept us from making plans as you know
But come the morning of rapture together we'll stand a new
While I stroll over Heaven with you
I want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad day
When all our troubles and heartaches are vanished away
Then we'll enjoy the beauty where all things are new
I want to stroll over Heaven with you

I Wish I Could Back Up

I wish I could back up and start all over
Cause now I'd know better the best way to love her
The words I would tell her the time I would give her
I wish I could back up and start all over

Time takes you places you never knew you'd be goin'
It softens the edges of memories you're towin'
It changes the reasons
You wanted to hold her
I wish I could back up and start all over

I wish I could back up and start all over
I'd make the first time feel like forever
Not to be younger may be just to be smarter
I wish I could back up and start all over

Time takes you places you never knew you'd be goin'
It softens the edges of memories you're towin'
It changes the reasons
You wanted to hold her
I wish I could back up and start all over

I wish I could back up and start all over
Days I would take back nights I'd wanna make longer
Moments I'd never just throw over my shoulder
I wish I could back up and start all over

But it's never too late to wanna do better
Love's never easy, changes just like the weather
Some days it's raining some are sunny and blue
There's never perfect but there's faithful and true

Time takes you places you never knew you'd be goin'
It softens the edges of memories you're towin'
It changes the reasons
You wanted to hold her
I wish I could back up and start all over
I wish I could back up and start all over

I'll Fly Away

Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away;
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

[Chorus]

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

Be it the rain or the wind
Or the moon up in the sky
The spin of the earth or the change of 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

If French Fries Were Fat Free

Will I need a miss of my life
Each time I went left, I should've gone right
And love's no exception to this rule
Cause I turned around I lost you
Now I'm feeling lonesome and blue
Just the way I expect to
But there's something that I could use
To help me deal with this abuse
If French fries were fat free
And you still love me
If French fries were fat free
And you still love me
What a wonderful world this would be
If the whiskey really helped me
Forget your memory
I'd wear a smile endlessly
If French fries were fat free
And you still love me

You know the more I think about you
The more sense it makes
Cause grease and love both cause heartache
So I raise my glass and toast
These things I want the most
Though I probably never see
I can't help but believing
That if French fries were fat free
And you still love me
What a wonderful world this would be
If the whiskey really helped me
Forget your memory
I'd wear a smile endlessly
If French fries were fat free
And you still love me
Oh if French fries were fat free
And you still love me
