Jasper County [MCA Nashville] lyrics

(Jessi Alexander - Paul Cunningham - Sonya Issacs)

You got me walkin' a tightrope across a lover's sky
An' now I'm feelin' the wind blow: I've never been so high
Promise me the moon, I'm reachin' for the stars
I need a hand to hold baby, don't you let go now
Baby, don't you let go now
Baby, don't you let go.

Fin'lly found me a rainbow that I can hold on to

(Ed Hill - Karen Rochelle)

Barefoot in the bed of your truck on a blanket lookin' up
Half a moon peekin' down at us from underneath the clouds
Teenage kids sneakin' out again, I heard the thunder rollin' in
We were fallin' the moment when it all came pourin' down.

The Georgia rain on the Jasper county clay
Couldn't wash away what I felt for you that day
Just you an' me down an ol' dirt road

(George Ducas - Hillary Lindsel - Angelo Petraglia)

Black coffee an' teardrops are all soakin' through
All over my pillow: ain't nothin' new
Somethin' just crossed my mind
I been feelin' like love's a crime
An' if it is, well I've done my time, I'm through.

Hey, gimme the good stuff, yeah
Hey, I'm tired of this hard luck
Hey, gimme the good stuff.

(Al Anderson - Leslie Satcher)

Well, I'm thinkin' everything's alright
It might be all right for the very first time
Walkin' with a mate of mine
Everybody comin' up once in a while
Tell 'em 'bout the love
Tell 'em bout you an' me skinny dippin' in the fountain of youth
Yeah, I'm thinkin' everything's alright: (It's alright.)
It's alright. (Alright.)

Well, I'm thinkin' everything is cool

(Al Anderson - Leslie Satcher)

Well, this is what happens when you fall for a pistol
No, no, I don't mean no gun
Talkin' 'bout a man with bells and whistles
The kind that keeps your heart on the run.

I met that cat in a two-bit juke-joint
Took my money in a game of pool
Next thing I knew, I was sittin' 'hind the eight ball
Playin' my heart, breakin' all the rules.

(Mary Green - LeslieSatcher)

I told myself I'd stay away
I got no business 'round here today
You're so not good for me, and everybody knows
The way you break my heart again and again
But before I know, I'm too close
One sweet look.

And then you pull me under
With a touch that's like no other
I'm drifting, drowning
There's nothin' I can do but fall into the river of you.

(Sarah Majors - Maia Sharp)

Mother said, ''Stand up straight
Don't let your classmates make
You feel like you don't belong
So not like the rest of them
Someday, the best of them
Will realize they were wrong.''
But in my world, different, an' then lonely
The last place I wanted to be.

Was standing out in a crowd
Where the spotlight finds you and singles you out
What are they whisperin' about?

(Craig Wiseman - Tia Sillers)

Summer breeze easin' back the curtains in my bedroom
Ceilin' fan stirrin' up the heat of the afternoon
I'm puttin' on my lipstick, my ruby red lipstick
Nice an' thick, baby.

It ain't the gettin', it's the wishin'
It ain't the catchin', it's the fishin'
Anticipation got me waitin' for your sweet love, baby
Sweet love.

(Stephanie Chapman - Liz Rose)

You don't think you can find true love again: won't you try me?
There's somebody somewhere that you can't forget, so you're not free
But I don't believe you believe you can ever get by me
Maybe I could undo all the hurt you've been through
Try me, try me, try me.

You've got no right to deny a fight till you try me

(Bill Lloyd - Beth Nielsen Chapman)

Blew out all my plans the world fell in my hands
The day that I began tryin' to love you.
The secrets I have kept the nights I haven't slept
I've laughed until I've wept tryin' to love you.

Tryin' to love you
No one's come as close or gone so far, (Tryin' to love you.)
I've lost and found myself in who you are. (Tryin' to love you.)

(Anthony Smith - Bobby Terry - Craig Wiseman)

I wanna know, who invented the wheel
Tell me who discovered steel
It was the wheel an' the steel that caused this pain
An' made the car that took him away
I wanna know who invented the wheel?

I wanna know, who found the rock
Tell me who laid the black top
It was the rock an' the black top that caused this pain
