ALAN JACKSON – You Don’t Have To Paint Me A Picture

The kiss was colder than I remember
When we first said hello
I guess the flame’s now a little lower
I can feel you letting go
You know the pain drops a little darker
Then when you first put it on
I guess your love’s like some old cheap and magic marker
Said forever nice go
But you don’t have to paint me a picture
You don’t have to say things at all
You don’t have to paint me a picture
I can see in the writing on the wall

When we first fell, we fell a long way
Summer nights and winter days
Mountain sunrise, ocean sunset
Hand in hand in the haze
Now it’s cold heart summer evenings
And there’s clouds on my sunrise
But you don’t have to smile and say you’re happy
I can see what’s in your eyes
You don’t have to paint me a picture
You don’t have to say things at all
You don’t have to paint me a picture
I can see in the writing on the wall

ALAN JACKSON – You Go Your Way

All your pretty bags are packed
Forever sure did go by fas
I hope you find the skies are blue
The grass is green and the road is smooth

[Chorus]
You go your way, c’est la vie sweet baby
Here’s hoping that you don’t hate me
Who knows you might just maybe miss me out there
It ain’t about who’s right or wrong
Love Dies and life goes on
Had a good thing but now it’s long gone baby
You go your way and I’ll go crazy

I poured some bourbon in a coffee cup
it’s been too long since I drank too much
so here’s to me and here’s to the moon
And here’s to love that ends too soon

[Chorus]
You go your way, c’est la vie sweet baby
Here’s hoping that you don’t hate me
Who knows you might just maybe miss me out there
It ain’t about who’s right or wrong
Love Dies and life goes on
Had a good thing but now it’s long gone baby
You go your way and I’ll go crazy

Yeah it ain’t about who’s right or wrong
Love dies and life goes on
Had a good thing but now it’s long gone baby
you go your way and I’ll go crazy
I’ll go crazy

ALAN JACKSON – White Christmas

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

(I’m dreaming of a white Christmas)
(Just like the ones I used to know)

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white…

ALAN JACKSON – Work In Progress

Okay I forgot about the trash
I didn’t trim the long hairs on my mustache
I did buy you a ring I believe it was back in ’93
Alright I admit it I forgot our anniversary
But I did pick up the baby this mornin’ at the nursery
That ain’t no big thing but it’s a gold star for me

[Chorus]
You get tired and disgusted with me
When I can’t be just what you want me to be
I still love you and I try real hard
I swear one day you’ll have a brand new car
I even asked the Lord to try to help me
He looked down from heaven and said to tell you please
Just be patient I’m a work in progress

I’m sorry I got mad waitin’ in the truck
It seemed like hours you gettin’ all dressed up
Just to go to Shoney’s on a Wednesday night
I read taht book you gave me about Mars and Venus
I think it’s sinkin’ in but i probably need to reread it
But I’m startin’ to see now what you’ve been sayin’ is right

[Chorus]

I know you meant well when you gave me those clogs
But my heels sure get hot down by the muffler on my hog
I’m sure they’re stylish but I’ll take my boots
I try to do that healthy thing like you want me to do
But that low fat, no fat’s gettin’ hard to chew
Now I love your cooking honey
But sometimes I need some real food

[Chorus]

Oh honey just be patient now
I’m a work in progress

ALAN JACKSON – www.memory

I know your leavin’ I see the signs
Your gonna walk out on this heart of mine
You’ll never call me, you’ll never write
You made your mind up and your gone tonite
If some rainy day your all alone
And feel like talkin’ you can log me on.

[Chorus:]
At www dot memory
I’ll be waitin’ for you patiently
If you feel the need just click on me.
At www dot memory.

You won’t even have to hold me or look into my eyes
You can tell me that you love me
Through your keyboard and wires
Though you won’t have to touch me or even take my hand
Just slide your little mouse around until you see it land.

[Chorus:]
At www dot memory
I’ll be waitin’ for you patiently
If you feel the need just click on me.
At www dot memory.

If you feel the need just click on me.
At www dot memory…

ALAN JACKSON – When Somebody Loves You

When your heart is all alone every second
Seems so long
When it’s just you, you can’t see through
Those ol’ clouds that rain so blue

But when somebody loves you
There’s nothing you can’t do
When somebody loves you
It’s easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you

When it’s late, the sun hangs low
By yourself, nowhere to go
Sing a song, you dance alone
Play solitaire and stare at the phone

But when somebody loves you
There’s nothing you can’t do
When somebody loves you
It’s easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you

So let’s put aside our foolish pride
And let our hearts say hello
We both agree we’re just no good
At bein’ on our own

‘Cause when somebody loves you
There’s nothing you can’t do
When somebody loves you
It’s easy to get through
When somebody loves you
The way I love you

The way I love you
The way I love you

ALAN JACKSON – Where I Come From

Well I was rollin’ wheels and shiftin’ gears
‘Round that Jersey Turnpike
Barney stopped me with his gun
ten minutes after midnight
Said sir you broke the limit in that rusty ol’ truck
I don’t know about that accent son
Just where did you come from

I said where I come from
It’s cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch sittin’
Where I come from tryin’ to make a livin’
And workin’ hard to get to heaven
Where I come from

Well i was south of Detroit City
I pulled in this country kitchen
To try their brand of barbecue
The sign said finger-lickin’
Well I paid the tab and the lady aked me
How’d you like my biscuit
I’ll be honest with you ma’am
It ain’t like mama fixed it

Cause where I come from
It’s cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch pickin’
Where I come from tryin’ to make a livin’
And workin’ hard to get to heaven
Where I come from

I was chasin’ sun on 101
somewhere around Ventura
I lost a universal joint and I had to use my finger
This tall lady stopped and asked
If I had plans for dinner
Said no thanks ma’am, back home
we like the girls that sing soprano

Cause where I come from
It’s cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch sittin’
Where I come from tryin’ to make a livin’
And workin’ hard to get to heaven
Where I come from

Well I was headed home on 65
somewhere around Kentucky
The CB rang for the bobtail rig
that’s rollin’ on like thunder
Well I answered him and he asked me
Aren’t you from out in Tulsa
No, but you might’a seen me there
I just dropped a load of salsa

Where I come from It’s cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch pickin’
Where I come from tryin’ to make a livin’
and workin’ hard to get to heaven
Where I come from

Where I come from It’s cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta back porch pickin’
Where I come from tryin’ to make a livin’
Workin’ hard to get to heaven
Where I come from
Yeah where I come from
A lotta front porch sittin’
Starin’ up at heaven
Where I come from
Where I come from
Tryin’ to make a livin’
Tryin’ to make a livin’
Oh, where I come from
Where I come from
Yeah where I come from
Get back down there sometimes
Where I come from
