A Lot About Livin' (And A Little 'Bout Love) lyrics

Our room was filled with silence
I guess we'd said it all
I don't know when I'd seen our bedroom
So long I can't recall

We built this thing between us
I'm not sure what's the cause
So I swallowed all my pride
And tonight I climbed the wall

(Chorus)
Tonight I climbed the wall
And took her by the hand
We'd come too far to fall
Couldn't stand to see it end

A stark naked light bulb hangs over my head
There's one lonely pillow on my double bed
I've got a ceiling, a floor and four walls
Who says you cant have it all

My room's decorated with pictures of you
Your letters wallpaper this shrine to the blues
I've got precious memories at my beck and call
Who says you cant have it all

I've got everything a broken heart needs

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

I guess it's just not my day
The wind blew my morning paper away
Then I cut my toe oin a sliver of glass
From the stormdoor you broke when you left here so fast

If it ain't one thing it's you
If you've heard that I'm goin crazy
It's true
The wheels seem to fall off whatever I do
If it ain't one thing
It's you

I rented that movie you hate
But that old VCR just chewed up the tape

Well if I had money
Tell you what I'd do
I'd go downtown and buy a Mercury or two
Crazy bout a Mercury
Lord I'm crazy bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury
And cruise it up and down the road

Well the girl I love
I stole her from a friend
He got lucky, stole her back again
She heard he had a Mercury
Lord she's crazy bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury

This old bar stool's feelin' higher
'Cause I've started sinkin' 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 new out on that floor

(Chorus)

And she's got the rhythm and I got the blues
And She's showin' me how much I had to lose
With her every little move she's tellin' me I'm over you

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 Mountain Moonshine
But it's her sweet love that packs the punch

You told me you don't love me when you walked out the door
I stood there feelin lonely, then the tears began to pour
What else could I do, I'd never felt like that before
So I cried an ol blue river i the middle of the floor

Now I'm up to my ears in tears
I'm cryin night and day since you went away
The things you used to say, honey, I no longer hear

I got my first motorcycle when I turned sixteen
I remember my mama raisin cane with me
She said, "Son tell me why you want to ride that thing"
She didn't know about the blonde at the Dairy Queen

I got my own reasons why I do what I do
I like to ride motorcycles
She likes it too
I like to ride motorcycles
She likes it too

I always wore my hair just a little too long

I guess it's just not my day
The wind blew my morning paper away
Then I cut my toe oin a sliver of glass
From the stormdoor you broke when you left here so fast

If it ain't one thing it's you
If you've heard that I'm goin crazy
It's true
The wheels seem to fall off whatever I do
If it ain't one thing
It's you

I rented that movie you hate
But that old VCR just chewed up the tape

Well if I had money
Tell you what I'd do
I'd go downtown and buy a Mercury or two
Crazy bout a Mercury
Lord I'm crazy bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury
And cruise it up and down the road

Well the girl I love
I stole her from a friend
He got lucky, stole her back again
She heard he had a Mercury
Lord she's crazy bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury

Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie
We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt
Got a little crazy but we never got caught

Chorus

Down by the river on a Friday night
Pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women
Never had a plan, just a livin' for the minute
Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee

Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie
We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt
Got a little crazy but we never got caught

Chorus

Down by the river on a Friday night
Pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking 'bout cars and dreamin' 'bout women
Never had a plan, just a livin' for the minute
Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee

Our room was filled with silence
I guess we'd said it all
I don't know when I'd seen our bedroom
So long I can't recall

You told me you don't love me when you walked out the door
