(G.J.)
You always said someday you'd go to live
(In Southern California)
And me I'd stay right here in Tennessee

You always talked about the better days
(In Southern California)
But if you'll stay in Tennessee

You say that you want me

Yes, I really want you

Well, how much do you want me?

Well, I want you as much as a child wants it's mother
Oh, that's how much I want you

And you say that you need me

Yes, I really need you

(G.J.)
I've got a real important job
In a large office buildin'
Ridin' people in an elevator

I drive a '57 Chevrolet
With busted tail lights
Burned out valves
And a leaky radiator

I wear a twenty dollar suit
I bought from J.C. Penney's
Back in 1962

We always wanted a big two story house
Back when we lived in that little two room shack
We wanted fame and fortune
And we'd live life the way the rich folks do
We knew some how we'd make it, together me and you

By a fountain back in Rome
I fell in love with you
In a small cafe in Athens
You said you loved me too

(G.J)
And it was April in Paris
When I first held you close to me
(T.W)
Rome, Georgia
Athens, Texas
And Paris, Tennessee

No we're not the jet set

(T.W.)
In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display

(G.J)
She smiles n' nods her head
As he says, "Honey that's for you,
It's not much, but it's the best
That I can do."

(man speaks):
Dearly beloved, we are gathered together,
In the presence of God, and these witnesses,
To join this man and this woman in the bonds,
Of holy matrimony

Do you Tammy, take this man, George

[tempo increases with each verse]

Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around this shack
'Til the mail tain comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

I ain't gonna work on the railroad
(You ain't gonna work at all if you can help it !)
No, I ain't gonna work on the farm
I'll lay around this shack
'Til the mail train comes back

GJ sings:
It was so good when he loved you
I could tell by the sunshine on your face
I know he bought you pretty things
I know he made your world a happy place

T.W. sings:
And I remember when she loved you

I can't thank you enough
For the happiness we've shared
I've never known a day that sunshine wasn't there
I can't begin to tell you the joy you bring to me
And as long as we're together
What more could there ever be?

We're just a pair of old sneakers
Stringin' each other along
Sometimes I feel just like a heel
'Cause I know in my soul, that it's wrong

We're just a pair of old sneakers
Kickin' each other around

God's gonna get 'cha for that
God's gonna get 'cha for that
There's no place to run and hide
For He knows where you're at

God's gonna get 'cha for that
God's gonna get 'cha for that
Every wrong thing that you do
God's gonna get 'cha for that

All my friends told me, we'd never make it
That love to you was just a game you played
And I'll admit at times we had rough goin'
But in each other's arms we loved it away

And I've been told, my love could never hold you

There's just one place for me
Near you

It's like heaven to be
Near you

Times when we're apart
And I can't face my heart

Say you'll never stay
More than just two lips away

If my hours could be spent
Near you

I'd be more than content

(both sing)
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna hooooold on
We're gonna ho-ho-oh-old on to
Each other

(T.W.)
Life can be rough
Sometimes it's kind
A real good life
Is hard to find

But the best love
Is the one we've known
And the faith we have between us

Take me, take me to your darkest room
Close every window and bolt every door
The very first moment I heard your voice
I'd be in darkness no more

Take me to your most barren desert
A thousand miles from the nearest sea
