Johnny Walker sat at a table in a bar. Minding his own affairs. Drinking his namesake over the rocks. He was drunk, too drunk to care. . When a girl from the bar walked up beside him.
Eight years old with a flour sack cape. Tied all around his neck. He climbed up on the garage. He's figurin' what the heck. Well, he screwed up his courage up so tight.
Let's go down to Alabama. Let's go see my dear old mama. Fryin' eggs and cookin' hammy. That's what I like 'bout the South. . She's got baked ribs and candied yams.
Hey, hey now. Don't you wanna come down. bring your guitar. here we play music with our own sound. a lot of our friendship and music's been born and bred right here in our backyard at the pickin' shed.
I've got a cold beer in my right hand. In my left I got my weddin' band. I've been wearin' it 'round now for way too long. And I'm more than ready to see it gone.
I went walking along a highway. Lost in a trance as I went on my way. . I heard a bad beat. That weird, weird beat. Everywhere I put my feet. . Well it all started about a week ago.
Would you be my Tennessee valentine. Hold me close and call me dear. On more time. We'll waltz in the moonlight. and kiss beneath the pines. Would you be my Tennessee valentine.
I met a man. Traveling down the road. He looked me in the eye. And he gave me a ring. And he gave me a rose. And he told me some gypsy lies. . The road is a lover, you never recover.
Tell you a little story and it won't take long. 'Bout a lazy farmer who wouldn't hoe his corn. The reason why I never could tell. For that young man was always well.
Don't choose me because I am faithful. Don't choose me because I am kind. If your heart settles on me, I'm for the taking. Take me for longing or leave me behind.
Well, sometimes I wish we'd bought the kind. That folds out into a bed. But it ain't too bad if you lay on your side. And use the armrest for you head.
Well, I've been waiting for this right moment. To tell you what's on my mind. I don't know exactly how to say it. But I do think that it's about time.
Oh the stars are out, and the moon is high. Over your shoulder. Shinin' like a neon halo in your hair. Dancin' in slow motion. To music only you and I can hear.
