The Blues Man Lyrics

Hank Williams Jr.

I’m just a singer, a natural-born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
I’m not a walk-behinder, I’m a new note finder
But my name’s a reminder of a blues man that’s already gone

So I started drinkin’, took things that messed up my thinkin’
I was sure sinkin’, when you came along
I was alone in the hot lights, not too much left in sight
But she changed all that one night, when she sang me this song

Hey baby, I love you
Hey baby, I need you
Hey baby, you ain’t got to prove to me you’re some kind of macho man
You’ve wasted so much of your life running through the dark nights
Let me shine some love light down on the blues man

I got so sick from speedin’, all the stuff they said I wasn’t needin’
If I was to keep pleasin’, all of my fans
I got cuffed on dirt roads, I got sued over no-shows
But she came and took all that old load, down off this blues man

Hey baby, I love you too
Hey baby, I need you
Hey baby, I do get tired of this travelin’ band
I’m 30 years old now, nights would be cold now
If you hadn’t stuck it out with this blues man

I’m 30 years old now, nights sure would be cold now
If you hadn’t hung around with this blues man

Chattahoochee Lyrics

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
A 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

Well we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy
I was willing but she wasn’t ready
So I settled for a burger and a grape snow cone
Dropped her off early but I didn’t go home

Down by the river on a Friday night
A 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

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.

A lot about livin’ and a little ’bout love.

You’ll Always Be My Baby (Written for Daughters’ Weddings)

Alan Jackson

First steps, first words
Seems like yesterday you were just a girl
Skinned knees, climbing trees
All those memories so close to me

Now you’re a woman on your own
All in love and nearly gone

But you’ll always be my baby
No matter where you are
You’ll always be my baby
Forever in my heart16, first car
21 and there’s a broken heart
High heels, strong will
In my eyes I see a young child still

But you’re a woman on your own
All in love and nearly gone

But you’ll always be my baby
No matter where you are
You’ll always be my baby
Forever in my heart

So I say a prayer every day
That God will guide you as you find your way
You know that I’m near
Anytime my love is always here

‘Cause you’ll always be my baby
No matter where you are
You’ll always be my baby
Forever in my heart…

Country Boy Lyrics

Song by Alan Jackson

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, I’d be obliged to take you

‘Cause I’m a country boy, I’ve got a four-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, and 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 four-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 four-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 want to 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 four-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

Yeah

Yeah I’m a country boy, I’ve got a four-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 want to 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.

She’s Got the Rhythm (And I Got the Blues) Lyrics

Song by Alan Jackson

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

He Stopped Loving Her Today Lyrics

Song by George Jones

He said, “I’ll love you till I die”
She told him, “You’ll forget in time”
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
But he still loved her through it all
Hoping she’d come back again

Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single, I love you

I went to see him just today
Oh, but I didn’t see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I’d seen him smile in years

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they’ll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

You know, she came to see him one last time (ooh)
Ah, and we all wondered if she would (ooh)
And it kept runnin’ through my mind (ooh)
“This time he’s over her for good”

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they’ll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

Too Much of a Good Thing Lyrics

Song by Alan Jackson

Smiles in the morning as warm as sunshine
Kisses when I lay down at night
And two loving arms to console me
I should be scared it’s so right

But too much of a good thing is a good thing
Feelings like this can’t be wrong
And too much of a good thing is a good thing
And we’ve got a good thing going on

You look in my eyes and see my thinking
I know when you’re happy, and when you’re sad
Some would say it’s too perfect
But I don’t think what we have is so bad

‘Cause too much of a good thing is a good thing
Feelings like this can’t be wrong
And too much of a good thing is a good thing
And we’ve got a good thing going on
Yeah, we’ve got a good thing going on

Where Her Heart Has Always Been

Song by Alan Jackson

“And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them
And the glory of the Lord shone round about them”

The morning light was soft and low
The clouds had left an early snow
A peaceful sound was calling low
“It’s time to go”
Then God reached out His tender hand
And gently pulled her home with Him
And brushed away the sorrow from her soul within

And I could hear the roses sing
A bluebird softly claps its wings
The sun seemed brighter than it’s ever been
And now she’s dancing in the wind
With her true love again
Where her heart has always been
Where her heart has always been

And I could hear the roses sing
A bluebird softly claps its wings
The sun seemed brighter than it’s ever been
And now she’s dancing in the wind
With her true love again
Where her heart has always been
Where her heart has always been
Where her heart has always been

The morning light was soft and low
The clouds had left an early snow

Small Town Southern Man Lyrics

Song by Alan Jackson

Born the middle son
Of a farmer
And a small town
Southern man
Like his daddy’s
Daddy before him
Brought up
Workin’ on the land
Fell in love
With a small town woman
And they married up
And settled down
Natural way of life
If you’re lucky
For a small town
Southern man

First there came
Four pretty daughters
For this small town
Southern man
Then a few years
Later came another
A boy, he wasn’t planned
Seven people
Living all together
In a house built
With his own hands
Little words with love
And understanding
From a small town
Southern man

And he bowed
His head to Jesus
And he stood
For Uncle Sam
And he only loved
One woman
He was always proud
Of what he had
He said
His greatest contribution
Is the ones
You leave behind
Raised on the ways
And gentle kindness
Of a small town
Southern man
Raised on the ways
And gentle kindness
Of a small town
Southern man

Callous hands
Told the story
For this small town
Southern man
He gave it all
To keep it all together
And keep his family
On his land
Like his daddy
Years wore out his body
Made it hard
Just to walk
And stand

You can break the back
But you can’t break
The spirit
Of a small town
Southern man

And he bowed
His head to Jesus
And he stood
For Uncle Sam
And he only loved
One woman
He was always proud
Of what he had
He said
His greatest contribution
Is the ones
You leave behind
Raised on the ways
And gentle kindness
Of a small town
Southern man
Raised on the ways
And gentle kindness
Of a small town
Southern man

Finally death
Came callin’
For this small town
Southern man
He said it’s alright
‘Cause I see angels
And they got me
By the hand
Don’t you cry
And don’t you worry
I’m blessed
And I know I am
‘Cause God
Has a place in heaven
For a small town
Southern man

And he bowed
His head to Jesus
And he stood
For Uncle Sam
And he only loved
One woman
He was always proud
Of what he had
He said
His greatest contribution
Is the ones
You leave behind
Raised on the ways
And gentle kindness
Of a small town
Southern man
Raised on the ways
And gentle kindness
Of a small town
Southern man

Place to Fall Apart Lyrics

Merle Haggard

I’ll probably never see you eye to eye again
This letter’s meant to be my last farewell
But you need to under-stand I’m nearly crazy
You need to know my life has gone to hell

Write me back and tell me why it ended
Send a letter that I can show my heart
I’ll be somewhere between “I love you” and what you’re feeling now
Lookin’ for a place to fall apart

Looking for a place to fall apart
Trying to find a place that I can leave my heart
I need to be somewhere hidin’ when I feel the teardrops start
Lookin’ for a place to fall a-part

I can’t seem to justify your leavin’ me
I’m be-wildered as to how it all came down
I thought everything was fine until your phone call
The call that turned my world around
Send me word and tell me why it ended
I need some final proof to show my heart
I’ll be somewhere between “I love you” and what you’re feelin’ now (I love you)
Lookin’ for a place to fall apart

Looking for a place to fall apart
Trying to find a place that I can leave my heart
I need to be somewhere hidin’ when I feel the teardrops start
Lookin’ for a place to fall a-part

Looking for a place to fall apart
Trying to find a place that I can leave my heart
I need to be somewhere hidin’ when I feel the teardrops start
Lookin’ for a place to fall a-part
