John Anderson Greatest Hits lyrics

Verse: 1

F C

You shouldn't wade out in deep water

G
when you don't know how to swim

G7

He told you it was over

C

and like a fool you followed him

G7/B Am G

into a whirlpool of emotion

C/E Dm

spinning out of control

G7 C

I got an invite to a Saturday night

Shindig way up town

You know old John likes to have his fun

I couldn't turn a party down

The band was playing some highfalutin music

I'd never heard before

Everybody there seemed to like it a lot

But I was headed for the door

Then somebody had the nerve, to call in orderves

Like something from a real bad dream

A high dollar woman in a low cut dress

God never wanted me to have a woman like that I guess

A forty room mansion sitting high on a hill

I ain't ever lived in a place like that and I never will

But I've got the mornin' sun, I've got the evenin' breeze

I got the woman that I love lyin' close to me

I've got a few good friends and all my bills are paid

I never seen a mircle before

I thought you were sent from heaven's door

but you knew all along you wouldn't stay

you left me here to drown in this heartache

chorus

I feel in the water

that you walked on

Up to my heart in misery

I can't believe you're gone

I thought you could do no wrong

Til I fell in the water

That you walked on.

I got a little change in my pocket goin' jingle-ingle-ing.

Wanna call ya on the telephone--baby, give you a ring.

But each time we talk, I get the same old thing,

Always no huggy, no kissy till I get a weddin' ring.

My honey, my baby dont't keep my love upon no she

She says "Don't give me no lines and keep your hands to yourself.

A one way ticket is all we need

No return, no guarantee

Straight ahead and don’t look back

This train is on a one way track

Oh, oh, oh,

Life is a precious thing

Don’t waste it all worrying

Time that’s lost

Can’t be returned

It’s another long hared lesson learned

Teach your children not to hate

It's Friday night, baby, get ready, set, go.. Gonna take you to the Krystal and a picture show.

Well, the sky's the limit, there's no price too high,. Baby, you're the apple of my eye.

Got my paycheck in my pocket and some gas in the tank:
Honey, your love's better than money in the bank.

I wish I had a bass boat and a Z-28.

But I guess that stuff'll have to wait.
