Playlist Alan Jackson

alan jackson - i ll try

Here we are, talkin' 'bout forever
Both know damn well, It's not easy together
We've both felt love, we've both felt pain
I'll take the sunshine over the rain

And I'll try
To love only you
And I'll try
My best to be true
Oh darling, I'll try

So I'm not scared, it's worth a chance to me
Take my hand, let's face eternity
Well, I can't tell you that I'll never change
But I can swear that in every way

I'm not perfect, just another man
But I will give you all that I am

alan jackson - a good year for the roses

I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick on the cigarettes there in the ashtray
Lyin' cold the way you left them but at least your lips caressed them while you packed
And a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured and didn't drink
But at least you thought you wanted it an' that's so much more than I can say for me

But what a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin'
It's funny, I don't even care
When you turned and walked away
And as the door behind you closes
The only thing I know to say
It's been a good year for the roses

After three full years of marriage it's the first time that you haven't made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talkin': there's so little left to say, we haven't said
An' while a million thoughts go runnin' through my mind, I find I haven't spoke a word
And from the bedroom, the familiar sound of our one baby's cryin', goes unheard

Chorus

alan jackson - i love to tell the story

I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and his glory,
Of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story,
Because I know 'tis true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else can do.

[Refrain:]
I love to tell the story,
'twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and his love.

I love to tell the story,
For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song,
'twill be the old, old story
That I have loved so long.
[Refrain]

alan jackson - a woman s love

I have felt it and I have held it I have known a woman's love
I have tasted and I have wasted a woman's love
And I know I'll never understand all the little things that make it grand
A woman's love
And I know I'll never come face to face with anything that takes the place
Of a woman's love

Well I have kissed it tried to resist it I have missed a woman's love
And I have hated taken for granted a woman's love
And I know I'll never understand...
[ guitar ]
Well I have needed and I have pleaded and I have lost a woman's love
And I have worshipped and I have cursed it a woman's love
And I know I'll never understand...
I adore it thank God for it a woman's love

alan jackson - tropical depression

I thought some time in the sun
Would help me get over you
But I could tell from day one
This is a place meant for two

Now here I sit on the beach
Watching the tide ebb and flow
I booked my room for a week
But now I'm ready to go

I'm in a tropical depression
I've got the blue water blues
Can't shake this loving you obsession
Can't stand this sand in my shoes
This forgetting you vacation
Is just a fool's holiday
If I can't get over you
This tropical depression is gonna
Blow me away

This should be paradise
Heaven down by the sea
Without you here by my side
It feels like hell to me

I'm in a tropical depression
I've got the blue water blues
Can't shake this loving you obsession
Can't stand this sand in my shoes
This forgetting you vacation
Is just a fool's holiday
If I can't get over you
This tropical depression is gonna
Blow me away

If I can't get over you
This tropical depression is gonna
Blow me away

alan jackson - little man

I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want
There's johnson's hardware and morgans jewelry
And the ol' Lee king's apothecary
They ware the little man
The little man

I go back now and the stores are all empty
Except for an old coke sign from 1950
Boarded up like they never existed
Or renovated and called historic districts
There goes the little man
There goes the little man

Now the court square's just a set of streets
That the people go round but they seldom think
Bout the little man that built this town
Before the big money shut em down
And killed the little man
Oh the little man

He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat
The new stores came where you do it yourself
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf
Forget about the little man
Forget about that little man

He hung on there for a few more years
But he couldn't sell slurpees
And he wouldn't sell beer
Now the bank rents the station
To a down the road
And sell velvet Elvis and
Second-hand clothes
There goes little man
There goes another little man

Now the are lined up in a concrete strip
You can buy the world with just one trip
And save a penny cause it's jumbo size
They don't even realize
They'er killin' the little man
Oh the little man

It wasn't long when I was a child
An old black man came with his plow
He broke the ground where we grew our garden
Back before we'd all forgot about the little man
The little man
Long live the little man
God bless the little man

alan jackson - blue blooded woman

Album: Here In The Real World

She loves a violin, I love a fiddle
We go separate ways but we meet in the middle
Don't see eye to eye but we're hand in hand
A blue blooded woman and a redneck man

The lady I love loves silk and satin
She was raised uptown with a silver spoon
Well, I was born on a farm just south of Jackson
We had an old Ford tractor and a country moon

Repeat Chorus

She's Saks Fifth Avenue perfection
Caviar and dignif(E)ied
Well, I live my life in Wal-Mart fashion
And I like my sushi southern fried

Repeat Chorus Twice

She's a blue blooded woman I'm a redneck man

alan jackson - she likes it too

I got my first motorcycle when I turned sixteen
I remember my mamma raisin' cane with me
She said, Son tell me why you wanna ride that thing
She didn't know about the blonde at the Dairy Queen

I got my own reasons why I do what I do
I like to ride motorcycles
And she likes it too
I like to ride motorcycles
And he likes it too

I always wore my hair just a little too long
Daddy didn't like it and he made no bones
If I'd have gotten it cut like he wanted me to
She wouldn't have had nothin' left to run her fingers through

I got my own reasons why I do what I do
I like to wear my hair long
And she likes it too
I like to wear my hair long
And she likes it too

I remember ridin' around with my buddies back home
Listenin' to some country on the radio
When they tried to change the station to some Rock 'n' Roll
I'd turn the Opry up just as loud as it'd go

I got my own reasons why I do what I do
I like country music
She likes it too
I like country music
She likes it too

Now I got a big Harley
And my hair is still long
And I'm still listening to a country song

I got my own reasons
Why I do what I do
I know what I like
She likes it too
I know what I like
She likes it too
Yeah I know what I like
She likes it too

alan jackson - right on the money

Let's begin with the day I met her
How fast this good old boy's world got better
Sky got bluer, the grass got greener
Just the first few seconds after I first seen her
Like my favorite song on a new set of speakers
My best old jeans and my broke in sneakers
A home run pitch floating right down the middle
The sweet music made when the bow hits the fiddle
She's
Right on the money
She goes directly to my heart
And when it comes to loving me
She's everything, I mean bulls eye perfect
She's right on the money
She's no red lights when I've overslept
She's a three point jump shot that's nothing but net
A hand full of aces, the dealer's done dealing
I'm forever on a roll, that's how she's got me feeling
She's
Right on the money
She goes direct to my heart
And when it comes to loving me, she's everything, I mean bulls eye perfect
She's
Right on the money
She's the best cook that's ever melted cheese
I ain't much around the house, but I aim to please
There's absolutely no reason to doubt her
When she says I wouldn't last ten minutes without her
She's
Right on the money
She goes directly to my heart
And when it comes to loving me
She's everything, I mean bulls eye perfect
She's
Right on the money

alan jackson - the thrill is back

We'll i'm ready to raise the blinds in this place
Think I'll rejoin the human race
You said yes now your wearing my ring
Guess I can stop playing ol B.B.King

Chorus

Cause the thrill is back
the heartache's gone
Time stands still baby love lives on
the room spins around when your kissing me
the thrill is back like it used to be

I sure could use a hair cut and shave
Now that I'm crawling outta my cave
Since you've said we were through
I've been down with a case of the blues

Cause the thrill is back
the heartache's gone
Time stands still baby love lives on
the room spins around when your kissing me
the thrill is back like it used to be

Bridge

I think I'd better give my doctor a call
And tell him i won't need that prozac after all

Cause the thrill is back
the heartache's gone
Time stands still baby love lives on
the room spins around when your kissing me
the thrill is back like it used to be

Cause the thrill is back
the heartache's gone
Time stands still baby love lives on
the room spins around when your kissing me
the thrill is back like it used to be

Tag
The room spins around when your kissing me
the thrill is back like it used to be

alan jackson - never loved before

Girl, I swear you
Got me acting crazy
Half the time
I don't know
What my name is
I'm the kind
Who like
To take it slow
And lazy
Girl, yo ugot me
Runnin' hot and hazy

Chorus:
Oh, I love you like I never
Oh, I love you like I never
Oh, I love you like I never
Loved before

Boy
You got me runnin'
Like a rocket
You stole my heart
And stuck
It in your pocket
And now
I got your face
Inside my lockett
I really tried
But I dont think
I can stop it baby

(Chorus)

You sat beside me
Last night on the sofa
I took your hand
And pulled you
Little closer
You kissed my lips
And then you
Let me hold yah
That feels the way
That loves supposed
To feel baby

(Chorus)

You held the door
When we went to the movies
I like your quirky
Sneeky sense of humor
Your strong and sweet
And all the things I needed
Your the one that keeps
My heart a beetin'

(Chorus)

Oh
My heart starts beatin'
When it's time
For you to leave me

Yah, my heart
Starts spinnin

Every time
That your near me

(Chorus)

alan jackson - jim and jack and hank

Hey you were standing by the screen door slamming
Rather clear what?s taking place.
You were holding on to Louie
He was packing, he was heavy that plastic handle just about to break

Well then you picked up Chloe.
She knew y?all were going
She started barking like a tank.
I was shocked and I was joking,
But I would not be longing.
Cause I got Jim and Jack and Hank

Take your string bikinis, your apple martinis
Take what?s left there in the bank
Take your flat iron and your curlers
Your sparkling water and that damn perfume I never liked
Take your black Mercedes all that stuff for ladies
To me you?re just a total blank,
go on and leave me baby
I don?t need you, I got
Jim and Jack and Hank

Well now you left screaming and your tires screeching
That little dog right in your lap
I have become a little sad and I called up my old dad
He said son you just woke me from my nap
I told him you had left me.
He said now son don?t you hate me
You know exactly what I think.
You know you?re better off
You can fish and you can golf.
You still got Jim and Jack and Hank

Take your string bikinis, your apple martinis
Take what?s left there in the bank
Take your flat iron and your curlers
Your sparkling water and that damn perfume I never liked
Take your black Mercedes all that stuff for ladies
To me you?re just a total blank,
go on and leave me baby
I don?t need you, I got
Jim and Jack and Hank

That?s right

So I got out the whiskey I began to listen to songs out in my truck you couldn?t crank
I started feeling empty, then again it hit me. I got Jim and Jack and Hank

Take your string bikinis, your apple martinis
Take what?s left there in the bank
Take your flat iron and your curlers
Your sparkling water and that damn perfume I never liked
Take your black Mercedes all that stuff for ladies
To me you?re just a total blank,
go on and leave me baby
I don?t need you, I got
Jim and Jack and Hank
Yeah now go on and leave me baby
I don?t need you
I got Jim and Jack and Hank

That?s right, you go ahead, I?ll be a okay
Cause I got Jose, Captain Morgan
Not to mention Old George and Tammy, Loretta, Merell, Willie Nelson, Big John Cash
How about Old Jimmy Buffet bring him in there when it?s sun shining,
George Strait an old friend
Can?t forget Hank Jr and all his rowdy friends
I?m gonna clean out the whole closet, baby
All yeah... Goodbye

alan jackson - after 17

Her right hand closed the front porch door
Suddenly a child no more
All the ribbons all the bows in a box now on her closet floor
Anxious for whats to come
Afraid to leave a place she loves

Shes not a woman not a girl
Trying to find her place in this crazy world
Meet a lover make a friend
Try and figure out what this life really means
After 17

Broken hearts and rusted dreams
Sometimes make it hard to leave and
Certainty is out of reach even with some self belief
So she bites her lip and shows a smile
Flips her hair and flaunts her style

Shes not a woman not a girl
Trying to find her place in this crazy world
Meet a lover make a friend
Try and figure out what this life really means
After 17

Her memories she stowed away
Pulls them out on rainy days
And brand new faces take their place beside the ones that never fade
Shes strong and fragile, weak and smart
Whatever the cost she plays the part

Shes not a woman not a girl
Trying to find her place in this crazy world
Meet a lover make a friend
Try and figure out what this life really means
After 17

Her right hand closed the front porch door
And suddenly a child no more.

alan jackson - sure got cold after the rain fell

Rain fell this mornin',
Made me feel so bad
On account of my baby
Walked off with another man.
Like takin' eyesight from the blind man
And money from the poor
That woman took my lovin'
And walked on out that door
And it sure got cold after the rain fell
Not from the sky, from my eye

--- Instrumental ---

Somebody tell me
Makes a man feel this way
Like a river without water,
Like night without day
And it sure got cold after the rain fell
Not from the sky, from my eye

--- Instrumental ---

Started early in the mornin'
The rain began to fall
With thunder bolts and lightning
The wind begins to call
Your worry's superficial
'Cause you slept on through the night
Stormy weather keeps you wond'rin'
If ev'rything's all right
And it sure got cold after the rain fell
Not from the sky, but from my eye
Not from the sky, Lord, from my eye

--- Instrumental ---

After the rain fell

It sure got cold after the rain fell

Sure got cold after the rain fell

After the rain fell

It sure got cold...
