All I Want

spent forty-eight dollars last night at the county fair,
I throwed out my shoulder but i won her that teddy bear.
She's got me saying sugar-pie, honey, darlin', and dear,

I ain't seen the braves play a game all year.
I'm gonna get fired, if i don't get some sleep,
My long lost buddies say i'm gettin' in too deep.

Chorus:
But i like it, i love it, i want some more of it,
I try so hard, i can't rise above it.
Don't know what it is 'bout that little gal's lovin',
But i like it, i love it, i want some more of it.

My mama and daddy tried to teach me courtesy,
But it never sank in till that girl got a hold of me.
Now i'm holding umbrellas and openin' up doors,

I'm taking out the trash and i'm sweepin' my floors.
Crossin' my fingers, and countin' every kiss,
Prayin' that it keeps goin' on like this.

Chorus:

Bridge:
Got to wash my truck and dress up
To pick he rup to watch tv.
And she sits down on the sofa,
She'll move a little closer...
She can't get enough of me.

I just want to get a little more out of my payday
Finally own a car that doesn't break down on the freeway
A little vacation..... ain't askin' very much

I hate comin' home to this old broken down apartment
I wish i had a dime for every whole that's in the carpet
No i don't want it all... but i ain't got enough

Chorus
All i want is a life
To drink from a glass from a well that ain't dry
I'm sick of the crumbs i want a peice of that pie
All i want is a life.

I don't mind the hours and the pain that comes from workin'
But it's enough to kill me when i see my baby hurtin'
Wanna give her that diomond.... i never got to buy

She keeps tellin' me that everything is gettin' better
But one step up the rung and someone knocks me off the ladder
Just wanna break even someday before i die

Repeat chorus

Everywhere i go, they're staring at her
Every man i know he wants to have her
I guess i ought to be a jealous man

I look the other way, they're hittin' on her
Every night and every day, they telephone her
They try to get to her but i know they can't

Chorus
She never lets it go to her heart
She never lets it go that far
When they start talking she starts walking
Right back to my arms
She can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart

She walks into the room and everybody watches every move
Hoping she don't love me
I know it by the way they hang around

But they don't realize there's more to her than
What meets the eye that's why i'm certain
No matter what they do to reach her now

Repeat chorus

When they start talking she starts walking
Right back to my arms
She can turn every head
But she never lets it go to her heart

fogged in in dallas on my way to l.a.
Staring up at the screen , all flights were delayed
When a voice behinde me asked
"stranger how have you been?"
I was caught off guard when i saw her face
Stumbled my way through an awkward embrace
Yet somehow i managed to say "good to see you again"
We caught up on old friends
Caught up on old times
But all through the small talk, it kept burning through my mind

Does she think about the nights we spent on crystal lake
Wrapped up in a blaket 'til the break of day
So many times i wondered does she think of me that way
I didn't ask and she didn't say

Trading stories and pictures of kids
Things we're gonna do and things never did
'til we were stranded in that moment not sure what to say
Then she broke the silence with her little shy smile
And she brought up the weather but all the while

I wondered if she thinks about jackson hole
Nights beside the fire and angels in the snow
So many times i've wondered does she think of me that way

I didn't ask and she didn't say

We said our goodbyes, swore we'd stay in touch
Then we went our separate ways knowing, knowing no one ever does

But i couldn't help but wonder as i walked
If thinks had turned out different where would we be today
So many times iv'e wondered does she think of me that way
I didn't ask and she didn't say
No, i didn't ask and she didn't say
