(M.Irwin-I.Kelley)

Well, tonight if you turn your radio on
You might hear a sad, sad song
About someone who lost everything they had
It may sound like me but I'm a little bluer than that.

When you look out in the morning you might see
Clouds rolling by like memories
And a big ol' sky above you looking back
You may think of me but I'm a little bluer than that.

(C.Craig-K.Stegall-A.Jackson)

It's twilight and the street lights are comin on
I'm in a stream of cars on this boulevard headed home
And I can hardly wait for you to make what's wrong today, seem right
It's been a long hard day so bring on the night.

Bring on the night and pull down the shades
Lock the world outside and throw the key away
And turn on the feelings and turn out the lights

(A.Jackson)
Alan Jackson & George Strait

Here's my keys, I want you to take them
I think I'm gonna need you to get back home
Hold on to my hat, I dont want to loose it
I couldn't stand for something else to be gone
I'm sure you know the reason I'm here cryin'
I think you'll understand why.

Tonight, I'm the designated drinker
I just lost the one who wrapped me 'round her finger

(A.Jackson)

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

(A.Jackson)

I was fifteen, she was eighteen
The prettiest thing I'd ever seen in my life
I loved her at first sight
I found her in Marietta, a town north of Atlanta
I brought her home to see my folks
They loved her too.

We were together for a long time
Thought it would be for all time
But things change and rearrange
She had to go
She left me cryin' in '79
An airline pilot, in Carolina

(H.Allen-J.W.Wiggins)

A drunk man walkin' down a rainy street
A wood floor and new socks on your bare feet
You look down and suddenly you're lookin' up
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love.

A bald tire runnin' on an icy road
A steep hill underneath a foot of snow
A greased pig fallen off a pickup truck
Whoops, I slipped and fell in love.

I hope that you're feelin' the way that I feel

(A.Jackson)

Some people have it and some people don't
Some people never will
Sometimes it's hard to know when you got it
Sometimes it's perfectly clear.

Well, I know it's out there I've seen it happen
And I know the way it should feel
There's no mistakin that good kind of achin'
Of once in a lifetime love.

Once in a lifetime love
A love like we've all dreamed of

(M.D.Sanders-T.Nichols-T.Sillers)

If money grew on Hackberry trees
If time wasn't such a luxury
If love was lovesick over me
That'd be alright.

If I could keep the wind in my sails
Keep a hold of the tiger by the tail
A half a ham sandwich in my lunch pail
That'd be alright.

Chorus:
Yeah, That'd be alright, that'd be alright
If everybody, everywhere had a lighter load to bear

(A.Jackson)

I can hear a heartbeat, it seems a little strong
I can hear the things that I did wrong
I can hear a song by looking in her eyes
I can hear all the times she cried.

I can hear the memory as they echo off the wall
Falling from the pictures down the hall
I can hear regret building up inside of me
I can hear all them things I could not see.

Those are the sounds of a woman leavin'

(A.Jackson)

Love for me hasn't been easy
I've let true love fall to the ground
Through the years and the tears
I've learned what loves about
And 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
And I'll be standing here with my heart in my hand
This time I'll be ready when love comes around.

Where were you when the world stopped turning
That September day?
Out 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

(A.Jackson)

Okay, I forgot about the trash
I didn't trim the long hairs on my mustache
I did buy you a ring, I believe it was back in '93
Alright I admit it I forgot our anniversary
I did pick up the baby this mornin' at the nursery
That ain't no big thing but it's a gold star for me.

Chorus:
You get tired and disgusted with me
When I can't be just what you want me to be
