Check Yes or No Lyrics

Song by George Strait

It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow in her ponytail
She kissed me on the school bus but told me not to tell
Next day I chased her ’round the playground
‘Cross the monkey bars to the merry-go-round
And Emmylou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it I read what she wrote

“Do you love me? Do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do
Well then don’t be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes
Check yes or no”

Now we’re grown up and she’s my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Ain’t much changed, I still chase Emmylou
Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room

Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years together she still gets to me
Can’t believe it’s been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note

“Do you love me? Do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do
Well then don’t be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes
Check yes or no”

Check yes or no
Check yes or no
Check yes or no
Check yes or no

About Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson was born in the small town of Newnan, Georgia, on October 17, 1958. Alan Grew up singing gospel music, both in church and at home with his family.

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

Memorable Duet of George Strait & Alan Jackson: “Murder on The Music Row”

By Thor

In Alan Jackson, Country Music, George Strait

George Strait & Alan Jackson performed this song “Murder on The Music Row” together at George Strait’s “Cowboy Rides Away” Concert. It’s a beautiful song. The song laments the rise of country pop and the accompanying decline of the traditional country music sound; it refers to Music Row, an area in Nashville, Tennessee considered the epicenter of the country music industry.

Alan Jackson was born in the small town of Newnan, Georgia, on October 17, 1958. Alan Grew up singing gospel music, both in church and at home with his family.

Murder on Music Row Lyrics

George Strait

Nobody saw him running from sixteenth avenue.
They never found the fingerprint or the weapon that was used.
But someone killed country music, cut out its heart and soul.
They got away with murder down on music row.

The almighty dollar and the lust for worldwide fame
Slowly killed tradition and for that someone should hang
(oh, you tell them Alan).
They all say not guilty, but the evidence will show
That murder was committed down on music row.

For the steel guitars no longer cry and fiddles barely play,
But drums and rock ‘n roll guitars are mixed up in your face.
Old Hank wouldn’t have a chance on today’s radio
Since they committed murder down on music row.

They thought no one would miss it, once it was dead and gone
They said no one would buy them old drinking and cheating songs (I’ll still buy’em)
Well there ain’t no justice in it and the hard facts are cold
Murder’s been committed down on music row.

Oh, the steel guitars no longer cry and you can’t hear fiddles play
With drums and rock ‘n roll guitars mixed right up in your face
Why, the Hag, he wouldn’t have a chance on today’s radio
Since they committed murder down on music row
Why, they even tell the Possum to pack up and go back home
There’s been an awful murder down on music row.
