1. _ Mercury Blues
(robert l geddins/kc douglas)
Well if i had money
Tell you what i'd do
I'd go downtown and buy a mercury or two
Crazy bout a mercury
Lord i'm crazy bout a mercury
I'm gonna buy me a mercury
And cruise it up and down the road
Well the girl i love
I stole her from a friend
He got lucky, stole her back again
She heard he had a mercury
Lord she's crazy bout a mercury
I'm gonna buy me a mercury
And cruise it up and down the road
Well hey now mama
You look so fine
Ridin round in your mercury 49
Crazy bout a mercury
Lord i'm crazy bout a mercury
I'm gonna buy me a mercury
And cruise it up and down the road
Well my baby went out
She didn't stay long
Bought herself a mercury, come a cruisin home
She's crazy bout a mercury
Yeah she's crazy bout a mercury
And cruise it up and down the road
Well if i had money
I tell you what i'd do
I'd go downtown and buy me a mercury or two
Crazy bout a mercury
I'm gonna buy me a mercury
And cruise it up and down the road

2. _ Chattahoochee
way down yonder on the chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie
We laid rubber on the georgie asphalt
We got a little crazy but we never got caught
Down by the river on a friday night
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute
Yeah way down yonder on the chattahoochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But i learned how to swim and i learned who i was
A lot about livin' and a litttle 'bout love
Well we fooged up the windows in my old chevy
I was willing but she wasn't ready
So a settled for a burger and a grape sno-cone
Dropped her off early but i didn't go home
Down by the river on a friday night
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute
Yeah way down yonder on the chattahoochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But i learned how to swim and i learned who i was
A lot about livin' and a litttle 'bout love
Way down yonder on the chattahoochee
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie
We laid rubber on the georgie asphalt
We got a little crazy but we never got caught
Well we fooged up the windows in my old chevy
I was willing but she wasn't ready
So a settled for a burger and a grape sno-cone
Dropped her off early but i didn't go home
Down by the river on a friday night
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute
Yeah way down yonder on the chattahoochee
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
But i learned how to swim and i learned who i was
A lot about livin' and a litttle 'bout love

3. _ Dallas
(alan jackson/keith stegall)
Dallas packed her suitcase
And drove off in the brand new car i bought her
She made leaving me look easy
I wish she'd made it look a little harder
I took her out of texas
When she was just a girl
But old tennessee and me
Couldn't take texas out of her
On how i wish dallas was in tennessee
If i could move texas east
Then she'd be here with me
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
If dallas was in tennessee
By now she's leaving memphis
And everything we had behind her
Lord i hope the gold band on her hand
Will serve as a reminder
That true love is a treasure
That's very seldom found
But you can't stay together if there's no common ground
Oh how i wish dallas was in tennessee
If i could move texas east
Then she'd be here with me
Then nothin' else would come between the two of us
If dallas was in tennessee
Oh if dallas was in tennessee
Dallas packed her suitcase
And drove off in the brand new car i bought her

4. _ Someday
(alan jackson/jim mcbride)
She looked me in the eye and said it's over
I can't take this heartache anymore
She said don't tell me lies and try to please me
I've heard it all so many times before
And i took her by the arm and said don't leave me
There's nothin' in this world i wouldn't do
Just give me time i'll be the man you've needed
She said i wish that i could take that for the truth
And i said someday
I'll get my life straight
And she said it's too late
What's done is done
And i told her someday
She said i can't wait
'cause sometimes someday just never comes
She said all i've ever wanted was to love you
And somewhere deep inside me i still do
But now i think it's time i stopped believin'
'cause i'm never gonna see a change in you
And i said someday
I'll get my life straight
And she said it's too late
What's done is done
And i told her someday
She said i can't wait
'cause sometimes someday just never comes
Sometimes someday just never comes

6. _ Gone Country
she's been playing in a room on a strip
For ten years in vegas
Every night she looks in the mirror
But she only ages
She's been reading about nashville and all
The records that everybody's buying
Says 'i'm a simple girl myself
Grew up on long island'
So she packs her bags to try her hand
Says this might be my last chance
She's gone country, look at them boots
She's gone country, back to her roots
She's gone country, a new kind of suit
She's gone country, here she comes
Well the folk scene is dead
But he's holding out in the village
He's been writing songs speaking out
Against wealth and privilege
He says 'i dont believe in money
But a man could make him a killin'
Cause some of that stuff don't sound
Much different than dylan
I hear down there it's changed you see
They're not as backwards as they used to be'
He's gone country, look at them boots
He's gone country, back to his roots
He's gone country, a new kind of suit
He's gone country, here he comes
He commutes to la
But he's got a house in the valley
But the bills are piling up
And the pop scene just ain't on the rally
He says 'honey i'm a serious composer
Schooled in voice and composition
But with the crime and the smog these days
This ain't no place for children
Lord it sounds so easy it shouldn't take long
Be back in the money in no time at all'
He's gone country, look at them boots
He's gone country, back to his roots
He's gone country, a new kind of suit
He's gone country, here he comes
Yeah he's gone country, a new kind of walk
He's gone country, a new kind of talk
He's gone country, look at them boots
He's gone country, oh back to his roots
He's gone country
He's gone country
Everybody's gone country
Yeah we've gone country
The whole world's gone country

7. _ Here In The Real World
here in the real world
Cowboys don't cry, and heroes don't die
Good always wins, again and again
Love is a sweet dream that always comes true
Oh, if life were like the movies, i'd never be blue
Chorus
But here in the real world
It's not that easy at all
'cause when hearts get broken
It's real tears that fall
And darlin' it's sad but true
But the one thing i've learned from you
Is how the boy don't always get the girl
Here in the real world
I gave you my love, but that wasn't enough
To hold your heart when times got rough
And tonight on that silver screen
It'll end like it should
Two lovers will make it through
Like i hoped we would
Repeat
Repeat chorus
No, the boy don't always get the girl
Here in the real world

8. _ Wanted
(alan jackson/charlie craig)
Excuse me, ma'am, can you help me
I need to place an ad with you today
No ma'am, tomorrow may be too late
I'd like to have it started right away
What's that, no this is personal
I'm not buying or selling anything
Yes ma'am, i know just what to say
I wrote it down, this is how it should read
Wanted one good hearted woman
To forgive imperfection
In the man that she loves
Wanted just one chance to tell her
How much he stills loves her
He can't be sorry enough
What's that, no thats all i wanna say
I just hope these few lines will get to her
Yes ma'am, she means everything
I hope she comes back when she reads these words
Wanted one good hearted woman
To forgive imperfection
In the man that she loves
Wanted just one chance to tell her
How much he stills loves her
He can't be sorry enough
Wanted

9. _ Home
(alan jackson)
In a small town down in georgia over forty years ago
Her maiden name was musik til she met that jackson boy
They married young like folks did then, not a penny to their name
But they believe the one you vow to love
Should always stay that same
And on the land his daddy gave him, a foundation under way
For a love to last forever or until their dying day
They built a bond that's strong enough to stand the test of time
And a place for us to turn to when our lives were in a bind
And they made their house from a toolshed
Grandaddy rolled down on two logs
And they builts walls all around it
And they made that house a home
They taught us 'bout good living
They taught is right and wrong
Lord there'll never be another place
In this world i'll call home
My momma raised five children, four girls then there was me
She found her strength with faith in gof and love of family
She never had a social life, home was all she knew
Except the time she took a job, to play a bill or two
My daddy skinned his knuckles on the cars that he repaired
He never earned much money but he gane us all he had
He never made the front page but he did the best he couold
And folks drove their cars from miles around
To let him look underneath the hood
And they made their house from a toolshed
Grandaddy rolled down on two logs
And they builts walls all around it
And they made that house a home
They taught us 'bout good living
They taught is right and wrong
Lord there'll never be another place
In this world i'll call home
No there'll never be another place in this world
That i'll call home

10. _ Midnight In Montgomery
(alan jackson/don sampson)
Midnight in montgomery, silver eagle, lonely road
I was on my way to mobile for a big new years eve show
I stopped for just a minute to see a friend outside of town
Put my collar up, found his name, and felt the wind die down
Then a drunken man in a cowboy suit took me by surprise
Waering shiny boots, a nudi suit and haunting haunted eyes
He said 'friend it's good to see you, it's nice to know you care'
Then the wind picked up and he was gone
Was he ever really there
'cause it's midnight in montgomery
Just hear that whippoorwill
See the stars light up the purple sky
Feel that lonesome chill
When the wind it's right, you'll hear his songs
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in montgomery
He's always singing there
I climbed back on my eagle, took one last look around
Through red tail lights a shadow moved slow across the ground
Off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by
I could hear that whistle moaning
I'm so lonesome i could cry
'cause it's midnight in montgomery
Just hear that whippoorwill
See the stars light up the purple sky
Feel that lonesome chill
When the wind it's right, you'll hear his songs
Smell whiskey in the air
Midnight in montgomery
He's always singing there
He's always singing there
Hank's always singing there

12. _ Who Says You Can't Have It All
(alan jackson/jim mcbride)
A stark naked light bulb hangs over my head
There's one lonely pillow on my double bed
I've got a ceiling, a floor and four walls
Who says you cant have it all
My room's decorated with pictures of you
Your letters wallpaper this shrine to the blues
I've got precious memories at my beck and call
Who says you cant have it all
I've got everything a broken heart needs
I'm doing fine dont you worry about me
Cause i'm lord and master
Of a fools taj mahal
Who says you cant have it all
Oh who says you cant have it all

13. _ Livin' On Love
(alan jackson)
Two young people without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
Settle down with just what they need
Livin on love
She dont care 'bout whats in style
She just likes the wayhe smiles
It takes more than marble and tile
Livin on love
Livin on love, buyin on time
Without somebody nothing aint worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Livin on love
It sounds simple thats what you're thinkin'
But love can walk through fire without blinkin'
It doesnt take much when you get enough
Livin' on love
Two old people without a thing
Children gone but still they sing
Side by side in that front porch swing
Livin on love
He cant see anymore
And she can barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand they'll walk through that door
Livin on love
Livin on love, buyin on time
Without somebody nothing aint worth a dime
Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme
Livin on love
It sounds simple thats what you're thinkin'
But love can walk through fire without blinkin'
It doesnt take much when you get enough
Livin' on love
No it doesnt take much when you get enough
Livin' on love

14. _ Summertime Blues
(eddie cochran/jerry capehart)
Well i'm a-gonna raise a fuss, i'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar
Everytime i call my baby, to try to get a date
My boss says, "no dice, son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes i wonder what i'm gonna do
'cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well my mom 'n' papa told me, "son, you gotta make some money
If you wanna use the car to go ridin' next sunday"
Well i didn't go to work, told the boss i was sick
"now you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes i wonder what i'm gonna do
'cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the united nation
Well i called my congressman and he said quote
"i'd like to help you son, but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes i wonder what i'm gonna do
'cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well i'm a-gonna raise a fuss, i'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar
Sometimes i wonder what i'm gonna do
'cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Yeah, sometimes i wonder what i'm gonna do
'cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
No there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

15. _ Chasin' That Neon Rainbow
(alan jackson/jim mcbride)
Daddy won a radio
Tuned it to a country show
I was rocking in the cradle to the crying of a steel guitar
Mama used to sing to me
She taught me that sweet harmony
Now she worries 'cause she never thought
I'd ever really take it this far
Singing in the bars and
Chasin' the neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
'cause all i've ever wanted
Is too pick this guitar and sing
Just trying to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and seen
Chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
An atlas and a coffe cup
Five pickers in an old dodge truck
Heading down to houston for a show on saturday night
This overhead is killing me
Half the time i sing for free
But when the crowd's into it
Lord it makes this thing i doing seem right
Standing in the spotlight
Chasin' the neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
'cause all i've ever wanted
Is too pick this guitar and sing
Just trying to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and seen
Chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
Daddy's got a radio
He won it thrity years ago
He said 'son i just now we're gonna hear you singing on it someday' i
Made it up to music row lordy don't the wheels turn slow but i wouldn't
Trade a minute i wouldn't have it any other way just show me to the
Stage
I'm chasin' the neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
'cause all i've ever wanted
Is too pick this guitar and sing
Just trying to be somebody
Just wanna be heard and seen
Chasin' that neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream
I'm chasin' the neon rainbow
Livin' that honky tonk dream

16. _ Don't Rock The Jukebox
(alan jackson/roger murrah/keith stegall)
Dont rock the jukebox
I wanna hear some jones
Cause my heart aint ready
For the rolling stones
I dont feel like rocking
Since my baby's gone
So dont rock the jukebox
Play me a country song
Before you drop that quarter
Keep one thing in mind
You got a heartbroke hillbilly
Standing here in line
I've been down and lonely
Ever since she left
Before you punch that number
May i make one request
Dont rock the jukebox
I wanna hear some jones
Cause my heart aint ready
For the rolling stones
I dont feel like rocking
Since my baby's gone
So dont rock the jukebox
Play me a country song
I aint got nothing
Against rock and roll
But when your heart's been broken
You need a song that's slow
There aint nothing like a steel guitar
To drown a memory
Before you spend your money baby
Play a song for me
Dont rock the jukebox
I wanna hear some jones
Cause my heart aint ready
For the rolling stones
I dont feel like rocking
Since my baby's gone
So dont rock the jukebox
Play me a country song
Dont rock the jukebox
Play me a country song

17. _ I Don't Even Know Your Name
(alan jackson, ron jackson, andy loffin)
Well i was sitting in a roadhouse down on highway 41
You were wiping off some ketchup on a table that was done
I knw you didn't see me, i was in a corner booth
Of course you weren't my waitress mine was missing her front tooth
So i flagged you down for coffee
But i couldn't say a thing
But i'm in love with you baby and i don't even know your name
I'm in love with you baby, i don't even know your name
I've never been to good at all these sexual games
So maybe it's just better if we leave it this way
I'm in love with you baby and i don't even know your name
So i ordered straight tequila, a little courage in a shot
I asked you for a date and then i asked to tie the knot
I got a little wasted, yeah i went a little far
But i finally got to hug you when you helped me to my car
The last thing i remember i heard myself say
I'm in love with you baby, i don't even know your name
I'm in love with you baby, i don't even know your name
I've never been to good at all these sexual games
So maybe it's just better if we leave it this way
I'm in love with you baby and i don't even know your name
The next thing i remember, i was hearing wedding bells
Standing by a woman in a long white lacy veil
I raised the veil, she smiled at me without her left front tooth
And i said 'where the heel am i and just who the hell are you?'
She said 'i was your waitress and our last name's now the same'
'cause i;m married to you baby and i don't even know your name
I'm married to a waitress, i don't even know her name
I've never been to good at all these sexual games
I never thought my love life would quite turn out this way
Hey i'm married to a waitress and i don't even know her name

18. _ She's Got The Rhythm (and I Got The Blues)
(alan jackson/randy travis)
This old bar stools feeling higher
As a started sinking lower
The minute that she waltzed right through that door
Not long ago i held her
Like a fool i went and left her
Now she's with somebody else out on that floor
And she's got the rhythm and i got the blues
And she's showing me how much i had to lose
With her every little move she's telling me i'm over you
She's got the rhythm and i got the blues
Well that music's gettin' louder
As my heart keeps beatin' faster
As she spells out regret in perfect time
Well i thought i wanted freedom
But that ball and chain i needed
'cause when you choose, sometimes you lose the prize
And she's got the rhythm and i got the blues
And she's showing me how much i had to lose
With her every little move she's telling me i'm over you
She's got the rhythm and i got the blues
With her every little move she's telling me i'm over you
She's got the rhythm and i got the blues

19. _ Love's Got A Hold On You
(keith stegall/carson chamberlain)
I called my doctor on the telephone
Help me doc there's something wrong
I can't shake it it's gone too far
He said tell me what your symptoms are
I said my hands are sweaty and my knees are weak
I can't eat and i can't sleep
It's turning me every way but loose
He said it sounds like love's got a hold on you
No doubt love's got a hold on you
I told my buddies i was settlin' down
No more of this running 'round
They looked at me like i was a fool
And said come on tell us what's wrong with you
I said my hands are sweaty and my knees are weak
I can't eat and i can't sleep
It's turning me every way but loose
He said it sounds like love's got a hold on you
No doubt love's got a hold on you
Well i tossed and turned til the morning light
Holding my pillow hanging on for life
There ain't nothing i can do
They said it sounds like love's got a hold on you
Sounds like love's got a hold on you
My hands are sweaty and my knees are weak
I can't eat and i can't sleep
It's turning me every way but loose
He said it sounds like love's got a hold on you
Sounds like love's got a hold on you
Sounds like love's got a hold on you
No doubt love's got a hold on you

20. _ I'd Love You All Over Again
has it been ten years
Since we said "i do"
I've always heard marriage made one seem like two
But you're looking better than you did back then
You still make this old heart give in
(chorus)
And if i had it to do all over
I'd do it all over again
If tomorrow i found one more chance to begin
I'd love you all over again
The preacher man said "til death do us part"
That seemed like forever to a young man's heart
Now the days seem much shorter
The longer we love
And the memories just keep adding up
(repeat chorus)
If tomorrow i found one more chance to begin
I'd love you all over again
