Alan Jackson - You Don't Have To Paint Me A Picture - lyrics

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 - A Fool On The Hill - lyrics

I gave her that diamond she dreamed of,
And I bought her a home with a view.
I took her to the end of the rainbow,
But all I left her was blue.
Seems I never had time to love her,
And now it seems time just stands still.
I thought I was king of the mountain,
But I was only a fool on the hill.
Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely
Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill.
I thought I was king of the mountain,
But I was only a fool on the hill.
Now I'm here alone, after leavin' her lonely
Lord, I'm livin' with the memory I know I can't kill.
I thought I was king of the mountain,
But I was only a fool on the hill.
Yeah, I thought I was king of the mountain,
But I was only a fool on the hill.

Alan Jackson - A House With No Curtains - lyrics

(alan jackson/jim mcbride)
We still wear our rings
We still say I love you
We both play the part
Oh so well
But everyone knows
Its just a sad show
And were only foolin ourselves
Its like living in a house with no curtains
The whole world can see whats inside
You can turn out the lights in a house with no curtains
But the heartache has nowhere to hide
We could pack up and leave in different directions
If we just had somewhere to go
We just keep on pretending
Afraid of the ending
Admitting what everyone knows
Its like living in a house with no curtains
The whole world can see whats inside
You can turn out the lights in a house with no curtains
But the heartache has nowhere to hide
You can turn out the lights
In a house with no curtains
But the heartache has nowhere to hide

Alan Jackson - I Don't Even Know Your Name - lyrics

(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 didnt see me, I was in a corner booth
Of course you werent my waitress mine was missing her front tooth
So I flagged you down for coffee
But I couldnt say a thing
But Im in love with you baby and I dont even know your name
Im in love with you baby, I dont even know your name
Ive never been to good at all these sexual games
So maybe its just better if we leave it this way
Im in love with you baby and I dont 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
Im in love with you baby, I dont even know your name
Im in love with you baby, I dont even know your name
Ive never been to good at all these sexual games
So maybe its just better if we leave it this way
Im in love with you baby and I dont 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 names now the same
cause i;m married to you baby and I dont even know your name
Im married to a waitress, I dont even know her name
Ive never been to good at all these sexual games
I never thought my love life would quite turn out this way
Hey Im married to a waitress and I dont even know her name

Alan Jackson - All American Country Boy - lyrics

(keith stegall/charlie craig)
I work a forty hour week and I earn my keep
And I try to walk proud and tall
I keep my nose to the ground, I dont get behind
And I dont back up at all
Well my necks a little red, my collars blue
I sip a little coffee, and I drink a little booze
cause Im an all american country boy
Im my daddys spittin image and my mamas pride and joy
There aint nothing down home that I really dont enjoy
cause Im an all american country boy
I drive a pickup truck and I dont pass the buck
And I always speak my mind
Im hooked on t.v., rolaids, and b.c.s
And I know how to have a good time
Im a little bit rowdy and a little bit tame
Aint no way Im ever gonna change
cause Im an all american country boy
Im my daddys spittin image and my mamas pride and joy
There aint nothing down home that I really dont enjoy
cause Im an all american country boy
Well I must admit that Ive mellowed a bit
Father time can slow you down
Im still doin all I used to do
It just takes a little longer now
cause Im an all american country boy
Im my daddys spittin image and my mamas pride and joy
There aint nothing down home that I really dont enjoy
cause Im an all american country boy
Im just a country boy
A good ol country boy

Alan Jackson - Amarillo - lyrics

The time has come,
Youre really leavinyou always told me that
You wanted to
I guess I never thought
It would happen
I guess I never really wanted it to
The world is calling you and
You must answer
But you can take me with you
In you drams
If you ever get back to amarillo
In a shiny new car or
Worn out shoes
If you ever get back to amarillo
Ill be waitinfor you
Your sister told me you were workinat some office out in tinsel town
Dont forget about those who
Love you
Theyll be there for you if you
Get down
I believe in you and all youre after
I hope you end up where you
Want to be
Chorus
Thirty years now have
Gone by quickly
I still think of you from time to time
My wife died early, Ive got children
Im happy and my health is fine
I often wondered if you found your
Freedom
I sometimes wonder if I should
Have gone
Chorus

Alan Jackson - A Holly Jolly Christmas - lyrics

Have a holly jolly Christmas 
It's the best time of the year 
Well I don't know if there'll be snow 
But have a cup of cheer 
Have a holly jolly Christmas 
And when you walk down the street 
Say hello to friends you know 
And everyone you meet 
Ho ho the mistletoe 
Hung where you can see 
Somebody waits for you 
Kiss her once for me 
Have a holly jolly Christmas 
And in case you didn't hear 
Oh bygolly have a holly jolly Christmas 
This year 
Have a holly jolly Christmas 
And when you walk down the street 
Say hello to friends you know 
And everyone you meet 
Bridge 
Have a holly jolly Christmas 
And in case you didn't hear 
Oh bygolly have a holly jolly Christmas 
This year

Alan Jackson - Ace Of Hearts - lyrics

(lonnie wilson,ron moore,carson chamberlain)
Loves a gamble every heart will take
You roll the dice in hopes that it wont break
One night I bet on your blue eyes and took a chance
And won a whole lot more than one night of romance
I won the ace of hearts,that night in the dark
How lucky can one man be
I hold the winning hand any way life deals the cards
No way to lose, cause Ive got you my ace of hearts
Loves a numbered wheel you have to spin
Theres no need for me to spin again
Cause loving you is paying off more than I knew
I took a little risk and hit it big with you
Chorus

Alan Jackson - 'Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus - lyrics

'tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus,
And To Take Him At His Word;
Just To Rest Upon His Promise,
And To Know, "thus Saith The Lord."
[refrain:]
Jesus, Jesus, How I Trust Him!
How I've Proved Him O'er And O'er!
Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!
O For Grace To Trust Him More!
I'm So Glad I Learned To Trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I Know That Thou Art With Me,
Wilt Be With Me To The End.
[refrain]
