You’ve Never Been This Far Before
Conway Twitty
I can almost hear the stillness As it yields to the sound of your heart beating I can almost hear the echo Of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking
And I can feel your body tremble As you wonder what this moment holds in store And as I put my arms around you I can tell you’ve never been this far before
I don’t know what I’m saying As my trembling fingers touch forbidden places I only know that I’ve waited For so long for the chance that we are taking
Well I don’t know and I don’t care What made you tell him you don’t love him anymore And as I taste your tender kisses I can tell you’ve never been this far before
And as I take the love you’re giving I can feel the tension building in your mind And you’re wondering if tomorrow I’ll still love you like I’m loving you tonight
You have no way of knowing Tonight will only make me love you more And I hope that you’ll believe me ‘Cause I know you’ve never been this far before

Watch this certified country music tune by George Strait entitled “Every Little Honky Tonk Bar.” George Strait co-wrote the song with his son Bubba Strait and longtime collaborator Dean Dillon, which was written “during a late-night session and was inspired by Bubba’s tongue-twisting opening line, ‘Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge..” He debuted the song for the first time with a live performance in December 2018 at a show in Las Vegas, Nevada. It reached a peak of number 17 on the Billboard Chart.
George Strait is the undeniable “King of Country Music.” His music career spans more than 30 years; includes 60 No. 1 singles, more than any other artist in any genre; and boasts 33 platinum or multi-platinum-selling albums, more than any country artist and third across all genres behind only The Beatles and Elvis Presley. Strait is the only act in history to have a Top 10 hit every year for over three decades and has sold more than 70 million albums and earned more than 60 major entertainment industry awards. He was born on May 18, 1952, in Poteet, Texas. He was raised on a family-owned farm in nearby Pearsall, Texas, where he studied agriculture at Southwest Texas State University. He began performing in a band while serving in the U.S. Army. He landed a recording contract in the 1980s with MCA records.
Every Little Honky Tonk Bar Lyrics
Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge Ice creates the water that’s no longer runnin’ under it Stool holds the fool that pours the whiskey on his broken heart Cigarettes create the smoke that hides the lonesome in his eyes The jukebox plays Hank, “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” Dance floor holds the folks trying to forget who they are And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Friday night, it’s a given I’ll be L-I-V-N, livin’ We’ll dance on the bar ’til we’re sleeping it off in the car Monday morning, it’s a given I’ll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin’ And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Neon lights flashing bright ’til you’re almost hypnotized Waitress, short skirt, gets hit on by every guy Comin’ and goin’, always rollin’ with the flow Bartender, pour our drinks; Código, do a shot You think you’re tall and bulletproof until somebody says you’re not You step outside thinkin’ you’re gonna show ’em you are And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Friday night, it’s a given We’ll be L-I-V-N, livin’ We’ll dance on the bar ’til we’re sleeping it off in the car Monday morning, it’s a given We’ll be D-R-A-G-N, draggin’ And that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar Yeah, that’s what happens in every little honky tonk bar
Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge

About Alan Jackson
Alan Jackson was born in the small town of Newnan, Georgia, on October 17, 1958. He grew up singing gospel music, both in church and at home with his family, and as a teenager he performed locally as part of a country duo. He left school to work and married his high-school sweetheart, Denise, who worked as an airline stewardess. In 1989, Jackson became the first artist signed to Arista’s new country division. Jackson’s debut album, Here in the Real World, was issued in 1990 and became a platinum-selling hit on the strength of four Top Five hits: the title cut, “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow,” “Wanted,” and the first of many chart-toppers, “I’d Love You All Over Again.” He shot to full-fledged superstardom with the follow-up, 1991’s Don’t Rock the Jukebox, whose title track was an inescapable number one smash that year.
Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) Lyrics
Where were you when the world stopped turnin’ That September day? Were you in the yard with your wife and children Or workin’ on some stage in L.A.? Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke Risin’ against that blue sky? Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor Or did you just sit down and cry?
Did you weep for the children, they lost their dear loved ones Pray for the ones who don’t know? Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble And sob for the ones left below? Did you burst out with pride for the red, white, and blue And the heroes who died just doin’ what they do? Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer And look at yourself and what really matters?
I’m just a singer of simple songs I’m not a real political man I watch CNN, but I’m not sure I can tell you The diff’rence in Iraq and Iran But I know Jesus and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was young Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us And the greatest is love
Where were you when the world stopped turnin’ That September day? Teachin’ a class full of innocent children Or drivin’ down some cold interstate? Did you feel guilty ’cause you’re a survivor? In a crowded room did you feel alone? Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her? Did you dust off that Bible at home?
Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened Close your eyes and not go to sleep? Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages And speak to some stranger on the street? Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow Go out and buy you a gun? Did you turn off that violent old movie you’re watchin’ And turn on I Love Lucy reruns? Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers Stand in line to give your own blood? Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family Thank God you had somebody to love?
I’m just a singer of simple songs I’m not a real political man I watch CNN, but I’m not sure I can tell you The diff’rence in Iraq and Iran But I know Jesus and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was young Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us And the greatest is love I’m just a singer of simple songs I’m not a real political man I watch CNN, but I’m not sure I can tell you The diff’rence in Iraq and Iran But I know Jesus and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was young Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us And the greatest is love
And the greatest is love And the greatest is love
Where were you when the world stopped turnin’ On that September day?
