Good Time lyrics

Rockie burned up the movie screen and I was turnin' seventeen
Tie-dyed shirts and Levis jean, lookin' cool at the Dairy Queen
Tryin' to impress a young woman in her Sunday dress.

And that was 1976, didn't know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night

Excuse me ma'am, I saw you walk in
I turned around, I'm not a stalker
Where you goin? Maybe I can help ya
My tank is full, and I'd be obliged to take ya.

Chorus:
I'm a country boy, I've got a 4 wheel drive
Pile in my bed, I can take ya for a ride
Up city streets, down country roads
I can get ya where you need to go
'Cause I'm a country boy.

You sure look good, sittin' in my right seat

Work, work all week long
Punchin' that clock dusk 'til dawn
Countin' the days 'til friday night
That's when all the conditions are right
For a good time, I need a good time.

And I been working all week and I'm tired
I don't wanna sleep and I wanna have fun
It's time for a good time.

I cashed my check, cleaned my truck
Put on my hat, forgot about work
Sun goin down, head across town

There's satellite communications
Long distance internet relations
The world's a little faster every day
I know it's all well and good
And I don't embrace it like I should
But I wouldn't wanna go back even if I could.

Chorus:
But I still like balogna on white bread
Now and then
And the sound of a whippoorwill
Down a country road
The grass between my toes
And that sunset sinking low

I wish I could back up and start all over
'Cause now I'd know better the best way to love her
The words I would tell her the time I would give her
I wish I could back up and start all over.

Time takes you places you never knew you'd be goin'
It softens the edges of memories you're towin'
It changes the reasons you wanted to hold her
I wish I could back up and start all over.

If Jesus walked the world today, He'd probably be a hillbilly
Common man of men and the King of many
He'd lay his hands on his brother man, save us all from the sinnin'
If Jesus walked the world today He'd probably be a hillbilly.

--- Instrumental ---

If He was here today I bet He'd drive a Chevrolet
Workin' at the plant drawin' workers pay

Whatll it be he asked, what do you need tonight
Something cold to drown the fire, something hot to stir one up
Ill make it simple I said, just two things Ill request
That bottle by your shoulder and some quarters for these dollars.

Chorus:
If you wanna make me happy pour me bourbon on the rocks
And play every sad song on the jukebox
Songs of lovin' and leavin', of lyin' and cheatin'

Laid back n' low key
You an me on that white powdered beach
Side by side with the sand and the sea
Laid back n' low key.

Gentle roar of a wave on the shore
Makes it way through the crack 'neath the door
Wake up call from the ocean floor
Down in Adaco.

Laid back n' low key
You an me on that white powdered beach
Side by side with the sand and the sea
Laid back n' low key.

--- Instrumental ---

Look at me and tell me you dont love me
Take my hand and say it cant be
Kiss me once and just before you walk away
Listen first to what your senses say.

Cause I can see me loving you forever
I can feel my arms around your life
I can taste your lips against my memory
Listen to your senses and what they have to say.

--- Instrumental ---

Love can hurt, love can scar you

It happens every time I think about the reasons why
I'm sitting here alone at night and not with you
Heartache takes control and let me know just what a fool I was
And how you can't erase the things you do.

And sorry just can't mend the broken heart, I've handed you
Brake apart is what most broken hearts tell you to do.

Chorus:
But I made long, long way from over you

(Alan Jackson & Martina McBride)

(Alan)
Girl I swear you got me acting crazy
Half the time I don't know what my name is
I'm the kind that like to take it slow and lazy
Girl you got me runnin hot and hazy.

(Both)
Oh, I loved you like I never
Oh, I loved ya like I never
Oh, I loved you like I never loved before.

(Martina)
Boy you got me burning like a rocket

I shaved my face and combed my hair
Put on a new pair of underwear
And sat on the porch with my Labrador
Like a hundred other times before.

She changed her shoes and freshened up her face
Put on some skimpy sexy lace
And finally made her way through the back screen door
We loaded up on the front seat of my Ford.

And we went out to dinner and we drove right back home

Im usually strong, keep love far away
The wall around my heart so it wont have to break
But you take me some place that Ive never been
Now I dont know if Ill find my way back again.

Chorus:
'Cause youve got me right where I want you
And theres not a thing I can do
Completely consumed, all about you
Youve got me right where I want you.

I close my eyes youre lookin' at me

Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe.

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying

Born the middle son of a farmer
And a small town southern man
Like his daddy's daddy before him
Brought up workin' on the land
Fell in love with a small town woman
And they married up and settled down
Natural way of life if you're lucky
For a small town Southern man.

First there came four pretty daughters
For this small town Southern man
Then a few years later came another

There's an old hardwood tree starin' through the glass at me
It's been there since eighty-five, sometimes I think it reads my mind
I guess it's true, you can't keep it from shinnin' through

There's no denyin' I've been hidin' from this thing that's chasin' me
Yeah, I've been runnin', no good at shunnin' all these scars from yesterday

Tonight doesn't feel like it did last night
I'm feeling warm and different inside
Since I saw your face
Since I looked in your eyes
Theres a change in this place
I think the love factors high.

Chorus:
When the love factors high
And too hearts collide
You dont even try
Thats when youll find
One that feels right
One for all time
Its hard to deny
When the love factor's high.
