2. 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 killin' me

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

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

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
3. Who's Cheatin' Who

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
 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
4. There Goes

There you were standin' in the shadows
Well I just looked where I don't see
I'm still pretendin' I don't need you
I won't let you know you're killin' me

Like some big black widow spider
You know just how to catch your prey
I'm actin' like it doesn't matter
And you sneak up from behind and whisper my name

And there goes your paralyzin' eyes
There goes your tantalizin' smile
There goes my act of playin' it cool
And there go the words I meant to say
There go the games I wanted to play
There goes my heart fallin' for you

Well I think you're playin' with me darlin'
You like to see what you can do
Well I should be fishin' for Blue Marlin
Instead of bein' hooked by again by you

But there goes your paralyzin' eyes
There goes your tantalizin' smile
There goes my act of playin' it cool
And there go the words I meant to say
There go the games I wanted to play
There goes my heart fallin' for you

Yeah there goes your paralyzin' eyes
There goes your tantalizin' smile
There goes my heart fallin' for you
Yeah there goes my heart fallin' for you

 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
5. 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 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

 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
6. Right On The Money

Let's begin with the day I met her
How fast this good old boys world got better
The sky got bluer, the grass got greener
Just the first few seconds after i first seen her

Like my, favorite song on a new set of speakers
My best old jeans and my broken sneakers
A home run pitch floatin right down the middle
Sweet music made when the bow hits the fiddle

Chorus
She's, right on the money
She goes direct, to my heart
When it comes to loving me
She's everything I need
Bulls eye perfect
She's, right on the money

She's no red lights, when ive over slept
She's a three point jump shot thats nothin but net
A hand full of aces when the dealers done dealin
Im forever on a roll thats how shes, got me feelin

Chorus

She's the best cook thats ever melted cheese
I ain't much around the house, but I aim to please
Theres absolutley no reason to doubt it
When she says I wouldn't last ten minutes without her

Chorus
 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
7. Gone Crazy

here i am alone again tonight
in this old empty house
its hard to learn what you don't think you need
that you can't live without
never leave the sound of the telephone
but ever since you left
i've been gone

gone crazy
going out of my mind
i've asked myself the reasons
atleast a thousand times
going up and down this hall way
trying to leave the pain behind
ever since you left
i've been gone

never saw your face this many times
when you were really here
things you said i never understood
now crystal clear
never spent this much time alone
but ever since you left
i've been gone

gone crazy
going out of my mind
i've asked myself the reasons
atleast a thousand times
going up and down this hall way
trying to leave the pain behind
ever since you left
i've been gone (2x)

i've been gone (repeat til end)
 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
8. Little Man

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

Chorus:

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

Chorus:

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

(Instrumental)

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

Chorus:

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
 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
9. Pop A Top

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.
 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
10. Blues Man, The

He's just a singer
A natural born guitar ringer
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
He's not a walk behinder
He's a new note finder
His name's a reminder of a blues man
That's already gone
So he started drinking and took somethings
That meesed up his thinking
He was sure sinking when she came along
He was born in the spot light not to much left inside
She changed all that one night
When she sang him this song

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

He got so sick of speeding all things
They said he was needing if he was to keep on pleasing all of his fans
He got cuffed on dirt roads
He got sued over no shows
She came and took all that old down off of that blues man

And he sang
Hey baby I love you too
Hey baby I need you
Hey baby I do get tired of this traveling band
I'm over 40 years old now
Nights would be so cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man

He's over 40 years old now
Nights would be so cold now
If she hadn't hung around with that blues man.
 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
11. It Must Be Love

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)

 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
12. WWW.memory

I know your leavin I see the signs
your gonna walk out on this heart of Mine
You'll never call me, you'll never write
You made your mind up and your gone tonite
If some rainy day your all alone
And feel like talkin you can log me on

chorus
At www dot memory I’ll be waitin for you patiently
If you feel the need just click on me. At www dot memory

Instrumental

you won't even have to hold me or look into my eyes
you can tell me that you love me through your keyboard and wires
though you won't have to touch me or even take my hand
just slide your little mouse around until you see it land...

chorus
At www dot memory Ill be waitin for you patiently
If you feel the need just click on me. At www dot memory.
If you feel the need just click on me. At www dot memory.

 

13. When Somebody Loves You

When your heart is all alone every second
Seems so long
When it's just you, you can't see through
Those ol' clouds that rain so blue

But when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you

When it's late, the sun hangs low
By yourself, nowhere to go
Sing a song, you dance alone
Play solitaire and stare at the phone

But when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you

So let's put aside our foolish pride
And let our hearts say hello
We both agree we're just no good
At bein' on our own

'Cause when somebody loves you
There's nothing you can't do
When somebody loves you
It's easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you

The way I love you
The way I love you
 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
14. Where I Come From

Well I was rollin' wheels and shiftin' gears
'Round that Jersey Turnpike
Barney stopped me with his gun
ten minutes after midnight
Said sir you broke the limit in that rusty ol' truck
I don't know about that accent son
Just where did you come from

I said where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch sittin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
And workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from

Well i was south of Detroit City
I pulled in this country kitchen
To try their brand of barbecue
The sign said finger-lickin'
Well I paid the tab and the lady aked me
How'd you like my biscuit
I'll be honest with you ma'am
It ain't like mama fixed it

Cause where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch pickin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
And workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from

I was chasin' sun on 101
somewhere around Ventura
I lost a universal joint and I had to use my finger
This tall lady stopped and asked
If I had plans for dinner
Said no thanks ma'am, back home
we like the girls that sing soprano

Cause where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch sittin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
And workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from

Well I was headed home on 65
somewhere around Kentucky
The CB rang for the bobtail rig
that's rollin' on like thunder
Well I answered him and he asked me
Aren't you from out in Tulsa
No, but you might'a seen me there
I just dropped a load of salsa

Where I come from It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch pickin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
and workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from

Where I come from It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta back porch pickin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
Workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from
Yeah where I come from
A lotta front porch sittin'
Starin' up at heaven
Where I come from
Where I come from
Tryin' to make a livin'
Tryin' to make a livin'
Oh, where I come from
Where I come from
Yeah where I come from
Get back down there sometimes
Where I come from
 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
15. Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)

Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Were you in the yard with your wife and children
Or working 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 who lost their dear loved ones
And 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 in 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?

Chorus:
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 difference 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 turning on that September day?
Were you teaching a class full of innocent children
Or driving 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 loved her?
Did you dust off that Bible at home?

Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
Close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
Or speak to some stranger on the street?
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Or 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
Did you stand in line and give your own blood?
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love?

Repeat Chorus 2x
And the greatest is love.
And the greatest is love.

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day?

 

16. Drive (For Daddy Gene)

It was painted red the stripe was white
It was 18 feet from the bow to 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, and made for the water
Ran her for years, til' the transom got rotten
A piece of my childhood will never be forgoten

It was just an 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 it whine
He'd say, "You can't beat the way a old wood boat rides"
Just a little lake cross the Alabama line
But I was king of the ocean
When Daddy let me drive

Just an old half ton short bed 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'd let me drive her when we haul off a load
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thickpen Road
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedels
Smiling like a hero who just received his medal

It was just an old hand me down ford
With 3 speed on the column and a dent in the door
A young boy two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel and
I would press that clutch
And I would keep it right
He would say a little slower son
Your doing just fine
Just a dirt road with trash on each side
But I was Mario Andretti
When Daddy let me drive

I'm grown up now
3 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 floor boards
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 now, 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

Daddy let me drive

Oh he let me drive

It's just an old plywood boat
With a 75 johnson
And electric choke
 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
17. It's Five O'Clock Somewhere - (with Jimmy Buffett)

That sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow
and so am I
The workday passes like molasses in wintertime
but it's July
I'm getting paid by the hour
and older by the minute
my boss just pushed me over the limit
I'd like to call him something,
I think I'll just call it a day

Pour me something tall and strong
make it a Hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past twelve but I don't care
It's Five O'Clock somewhere

Well this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon
and half the night
tomorrow morning there'll be hell to pay
hey, but that's alright
I ain't had a day off now in over a year
My Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here
If the phones for me you can tell them
I just sailed away

Pour me something tall and strong
make it a Hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past twelve but I don't care
It's Five O'Clock somewhere

I could pay off my tab, pour myself in a cab
and be back to work by two
But at a moment like this I can't help but wonder
what would Jimmy Buffett do?

"""enter Jimmy Buffett"""

"Funny you should ask Alan"

"I'd say"

"Pour me something tall and strong
make it a Hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past twelve but I don't care
It's Five O'Clock somewhere"

Pour me something tall and strong
make it a Hurricane before I go insane
it's only half past twelve but I don't care (he don't care)
and I don't care
It's Five O'Clock somewhere

"What time zone am I on?"
"What Country am I in?"
It don't matter it's Five O'Clock somewhere
"It's always on Five in Margaritaville come to think of it"
I heard that
"You've been there haven't you?"
Yes sir
"I've seen your boat there"
I've been to Margaritaville a few times
"Alright well that's good"
stumbled my way back
"OK we just want to make sure you can keep it
between the navigational beacons"
between the buoys, I got it
"alright, well it's five o'clock let's go somewhere"
I'm ready to crank it up
"lets get out of here"
I'm gone
 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
18. Remember When

Remember when I was young and so were you
And time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when

Remember when we vowed the vows, and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, and it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when

Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each others hearts
Remember when

Remember when the sound of little feet, was the music we danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we never give it up
Remember when

Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookin' back, its just a steppin' stone
To where we are
Where we've been
Said we do it all again
Remember when

Remember when we said when we turn gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when

Remember when
Remember when

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
19. Job Description

Well I know sometimes you find it hard
To understand just what we do out here
Well that bus rolls up at home
And I just disappear

And I sure don't like to leave you
Couldn't stand for you to think that I don't care
So I wrote this job description
Just to tell you what I do when I'm not there

I sleep eighty miles an hour
To the whining of a diesel down the interstate
Dreamin' 'bout my little girls
The easy chair that sits beside the fireplace
Then we shut her down in another town
Shower up and do just what we came to do
Sing for the people
Count the money and the miles back home to you

Well each night I take the stage
With a six piece band and a guitar in my hand
Singin' songs about my life
All the good times and the bad

Then we say goodbye and we load it up
And head somewhere I've already been
Then I lay down in that double bed alone
And I thank the Lord again

I sleep eighty miles an hour
To the whining of a diesel down the interstate
Dreamin' 'bout my little girls
The easy chair that sits beside the fireplace
Then we shut her down in another town
Shower up and do just what we came to do
Sing for the people
Count the money and the miles back home to you

Well I just sing for the people
Count the money and the miles back home to you
 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
20. Tropical Depression

I thought some time in the sun
Would help me get over you
But I could tell from day one
This is a place meant for two

Now here I sit on the beach
Watching the tide ebb and flow
I booked my room for a week
But now I'm ready to go

I'm in a tropical depression
I've got the blue water blues
Can't shake this loving you obsession
Can't stand this sand in my shoes
This forgetting you vacation
Is just a fool's holiday
If I can't get over you
This tropical depression is gonna
Blow me away

This should be paradise
Heaven down by the sea
Without you here by my side
It feels like hell to me

I'm in a tropical depression
I've got the blue water blues
Can't shake this loving you obsession
Can't stand this sand in my shoes
This forgetting you vacation
Is just a fool's holiday
If I can't get over you
This tropical depression is gonna
Blow me away

If I can't get over you
This tropical depression is gonna
Blow me away
 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
21. Let's Get Back To Me And You

Let's Get Back to You and Me
Alan Jackson

I'm always on the road
You're always all alone
And I'm not always there when I'm at home

But I'm ready for a little change
I'm ready to accept some blame
So let's back up to yesterday

Let's get back in love
Back to dreamin' of
All those little things we used to do
Let's start holdin' hands
Let's start makin' plans
Honey, let's get back to me and you

It's not like it was
When we fell in love
When all we had was enough

Well I don't like the blues
I like love that's true
Honey, let's get back to me and you

Let's get back in love
Back to dreamin' of
All those little things we used to do
Let's start holdin' hands
Let's start makin' plans
Honey, let's get back to me and you

Let's get back in love
Back to dreamin' of
All those little things we used to do
Let's start holdin' hands
Let's start makin' plans
Honey, let's get back to me and you

Let's get back in love
Back to dreamin' of
All those little things we used to do
Let's start holdin' hands
Let's start makin' plans
Honey, let's get back to me and you

Well honey, let's get on back to me and you

22. You Can't Give Up On Love

you say you're heart's been broken
and you just can't win
you say that you'll never find love again
let me tell you friend

Chorus:
you can't give up on love
that's the one thing we've got to keep going
cause it don't come easy and it's so hard to hold
but you can't give up on love

looked out my window and what did I see?
it's another broken family
the kids are stayin' with mama at home
daddy's livin in a house all alone

Chorus:
you can't give up on love
that's the one thing we've got to keep going
cause it don't come easy and it's so hard to hold
but you can't give up on love

troubled times make it hard to stay
so many lovers take the easy way
but don't go crazy and jump ship too soon
cause everday can't be a honeymoon

Chorus:
you can't give up on love
that's the one thing we've got to keep going
cause it don't come easy and it's so hard to hold
but you can't give up on love

no you can't give up on love
oh you can't give up on love

23. Hole In The Wall

Hole in the Wall
Alan Jackson
(Alan Jackson/Jim McBride)

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
 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
24. 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 find something 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 be counted
And I stop lovin' you
Honey they'll be drivin' Buicks to the moon
 

[ Alan Jackson Lyrics ]
25. When Love Comes Around

love for me hasn't been easy
I've let true love fall to the ground
through the years and the tears
I've learnt what loves about
this time i'll be ready
when love comes around

When love comes around i'll be ready
love will find me a brand new man
i'll be standing there with my heart in my hand
this time i'll be ready
when love comes around

too many times i've lost a good love
and i can't see now how it went
but when love comes back to me
it won't see the same old me
this time i'll be ready when love comes around
