If this ain't love, we're dancing all around it
Honey, who knows how we might have found it
Call it what you want and that's close enough
If this ain't real I don't know what else it is
Anything better, I never felt it
What could it be if this ain't love

We've been out in the rain
Laughing out loud
We've been so afraid to say
All that we've been feeling up till now
So we walk to the river, let the world go on by
I can see all the answers in your eyes

If this ain't love, I wonder what it could be
Sure feels like everything it should be
I'm just glad it finally took ahold of us
If this ain't it, where we gonna find it
Seems like we've been sneakin' up behind it
Sure would be surprised if this ain't love

We've both been fooled before
So we took it kind of slow
We can't deny it anymore
No sense in pretending we don't know
It's a new situation that we got on our hands
And it's changing all of our plans

If this ain't love, we're dancing all around it
Honey who knows how we went have found it
Call it what you want and that's close enough
If this ain't love, where we gonna find it
Seems like we've been sneakin' up behind it
Sure would be surprised if this ain't love
Sure would be surprised if this ain't love
If this ain't love

Here she comes in her hot pink pedal pushers
Bouffant hair from the Curl Up and Dye
Cat mama shades with the rhinestone customizing
Tell me I ain't one lucky guy

It's Friday night and the full moon's shining
That always makes her just a little insane
Eight o'clock and I hear her tires squealing
Picking me up in her purple Fairlane

There's a band at the Rotary
Just a two dollar cover charge
We hear 'em playing as we're parking the car

And it's bang bang bang goes the drummer
Twang twang twang goes guitar
Dance dance dance little Dixie
And there goes my heart

Never forget the first time I saw her
Chuck Berry playing while she walked the dog
Go-go boots and leopard skin body suit
Beat 'bout anything I ever saw
We did the stroll and the double watusi
She never once let me catch my breath
She kept me going like a steam locomotive
Felt so good I liked to hurt myself

Now 'bout each and every weekend
I watch her cuttin' up a rug
Every time I just fall in love

And it's bang bang bang goes the drummer
Twang twang twang goes guitar
Dance dance dance little Dixie
And there goes my heart

There's a band at the Rotary
Just a two dollar cover charge
We hear 'em playing as we're parking the car

And it's bang bang bang goes the drummer
Twang twang twang goes guitar
Dance dance dance little Dixie
And there goes my heart

Bang bang bang goes the drummer
Twang twang twang goes guitar
Dance dance dance little Dixie
And there goes my heart

In a pair of faded coveralls and her mama's old high heels
She wobbles up and takes a shaky bow
She smiles a little smile that hides her missing baby tooth
And she manages to sing that way somehow
She starts with "Delta Dawn"
Then goes into "Amazing Grace"
Then squints her eyes and sings "I Fought The Law"
And when the wind comes sweeping in and ripples through the corn
To her it sounds exactly like applause

She's just singing to the scarecrow
Dancing through the fields
With a kitten named Bojangles in her arms
Trying to let the whole world know
How wonderful it feels
To be here on this south Kentucky farm
Singing to the Scarecrow

She looks into his patchwork eyes and looks into his heart
Then tries to find a song to ease his pain
Then she sings "Faded Love" until the sunny sky grows dark
And his tears are falling in the summer rain

And she's singing to the scarecrow
Dancing through the fields
With a kitten named Bojangles in her arms
Trying to let the whole world know
How wonderful it feels
To be here on this south Kentucky farm
Singing to the Scarecrow

Now that little girl is grown
She's in a band out on the road
She left those green Kentucky fields behind
But she sings herself back home
When she's at the microphone
And she smiles that funny smile and shuts her eyes

She's still singing to the scarecrow
Trying to let the whole world know
How wonderful it feels
To be there on that south Kentucky farm
Singing to the Scarecrow
Singing to the scarecrow
Singing to the scarecrow

Hey everybody take a break
You're puttin' up with more than you should take
You've got work up to here fifty weeks a year
What difference would a couple days make
You got to get out in the world and see what's going on
You won't know what you're missin' 'til the missin's all gone

Forget the job (get a life) forget the job (get a life)
Forget the job (get a life, get a life, get a life)
Hey

You get an hour to grab lunch
You barely start before you have to be done
Someone comes up to you, you think they're real cute
But you have to be back before one
Or the boss'll be mad, the place'll fall apart
What you gonna do when it's him or your heart

Forget the job (get a life) forget the job (get a life)
Forget the job (get a life, get a life, get a life)
Hey

You come home half dead
Jammed traffic still poundin' in your head
Dishes in the sink, you could use a drink
Laundry piled up on the bed
You never stay home you party all the time
You really got to get your priorities in line

Forget the job (get a life) forget the job (get a life)
Forget the job (get a life, get a life, get a life)
Hey

Forget the job (get a life) forget the job (get a life)
Forget the job (get a life, get a life, get a life)
Hey

Forget the job (get a life, get a life, get a life, get a life)
Forget the job (get a life, get a life, get a life, get a life)
Forget the job (get a life, get a life, get a life, get a life)
Forget the job

We've been together for a while
Look how far we've come
Guess we both thought this would be
Just another kiss and run
But feelings grew stronger
Day after day
'Til we both were certain
That it was meant to be this way

It's about time, baby
And it's about love
It's about tomorrow
And all we can become
It's about time darlin'
And it's about trust
It's about forever
And it's about us

I never thought I'd feel so sure
About anyone
Where each emotion is so clear
Now that day has finally, finally come

I never thought I'd feel so sure
About anyone
Now every single doubt is gone
And I know that you're the one

It's about time, baby
And it's about love
It's about tomorrow
And all we can become
It's about time, darlin'
And it's about trust
It's about forever
And it's about us

It's about time
It's about us

When I was a boy
Four houses down from me
Was a family with an only child
And she was the only girl in this ol' world
That could make me smile
Down the road
I made up reasons to go down the road

Somewhere inside of me
There was something she took a liking to
And I asked her to marry me
And she said she really wanted to
Down the road
See what life's gonna hold, down the road

Her mama wants to know am I washed in the blood
Or just in the water
Her daddy wants to know if I make enough
To take his daughter
Down the road
Before he can let her go down the road

Now down the street from here
There's an engineer with an only son
And our baby girl says she believes
That he is the only one
Down the road

Her mama wants to know is he washed in the blood
Or just the water
And I want to know that he makes enough
To take my daughter
Down the road
When it comes time to go down the road

Down the road
You know I want to help her go down the road
Down the road

I got a four leaf clover
Hung a horseshoe on the wall
Threw salt over my left shoulder
I'll try anything at all
To get lucky with you
I want you so much
Until you want me too
I ain't gonna give up

I'll throw another nickel in the well
Tell myself this time maybe it'll help
To make my dreams come true
I'll make another wish upon a star
Just in case you're out in your backyard
Lookin' up there too
With a lot of love and a little luck
You'll fall like I fell
I'll just cross my fingers
And throw another nickel in the well

If I could get Houdini
To teach me a trick or two
Then maybe you would see me
In the way I want you to
I'm gonna knock on wood
It ain't been easy
I've done everything I could
To make you need me

I'll throw another nickel in the well
Tell myself this time maybe it'll help
To make my dreams come true
I'll make another wish upon a star
Just in case you're out in your backyard
Lookin' up there too
With a lot of love and a little luck
You'll fall like I fell
I'll just cross my fingers
And throw another nickel in the well

With a lot of love and a little luck
You'll fall like I fell
I'll just cross my fingers
And throw another nickel in the well
I'll just cross my fingers
And throw another nickel in the well

I used to live the luxury life
A new house, three cars to drive
Steppin' over the credit line
I was payin' a heavy price

It seemed that more was never enough
So I called my creditors up
Said all I need is that Cadillac car
I'm headin' for a brand new start

I was in way too deep
Straightened out my priorities
I'm a man of simple means
Just rent, groceries and gasoline

I got a trailer, it's sturdy and cheap
A part-time job, work when I please
Goin' to Mexico next week
Gotta feel that ocean breeze

I might settle down sometime
But right now it ain't on my mind
Got a pretty girl along for the ride
And she's the adventurous kind

I got everything I need
Straightened out my priorities
I'm a man of simple means
Just rent, groceries and gasoline

Got a full tank and some food to go
Check the map and we'll hit the road
In the flicker of the dashboard lights
I feel my life unwind

I got everything I need
Straightened out my priorities
I'm a man of simple means
Just rent, groceries and gasoline

I got everything I need
Straightened out my priorities
I'm a man of simple means
Just rent, groceries and gasoline

Give me rent, groceries and gasoline
Just rent, groceries and gasoline
I need rent, groceries and gasoline

Well, the road was hot and flat as a ruler
Good hundred miles between me and Missoula
That vinyl top weren't gettin' no cooler
So I stopped at a Quickie Sack
Well, I figure I'd need about a six of Miller
And one of them things so's I wouldn't spill 'er
So I asked the girl if the beer was in the back

She said,
It's a dry town, no beer, no liquor
For miles around I'd give a nickel
For a sip or two to wash me down
Out of this dry town

So I turned right around, no hesitatin'
Cursed the laws ruining the nation
Waved goodbye to the boy at the station
But she wouldn't go into gear
He said it sounds like it's your transmission
You need Bob, but he's gone fishing
On his day off he gets a long way from here

'Cause it's a dry town no beer no liquor
For miles around I'd give a nickel
For a sip or two to wash me down
Out of this dry town

Well, back home friends you can get a dose of
Something strong from the local grocer
So I walked down 'til I come closer
To a place called Happy John's
He said I keep some for colds and fevers
Down underneath's where I usually leave 'er
But just last night I felt a cold coming on

Now it's a dry town no beer no liquor
For miles around I'd give a nickel
For a sip or two to wash me down
Out of this dry town

It's a dry town no beer no liquor
For miles around I'd give a nickel
For a sip or two to wash me down
Out of this dry town

I need a sip or two
To wash me down
Out of this dry town

Now I wonder if where love's involved
Did we improve as we evolved
Perhaps we'd fix a big mistake
By going wild, going ape

Here we go 'round the dry thistle
Monkey can climb but I can whistle
He can't sing and I can't dance
And the monkey don't have to wear no pants

Here we go 'round the dry thistle
Monkey can climb but I can whistle
He can't sing and I can't dance
And the monkey don't have to wear no pants

Here we go 'round the dry thistle
Monkey can climb but I can whistle
He can't sing and I can't dance
And the monkey don't have to wear no pants

Here we go 'round the dry thistle
Monkey can climb but I can whistle
He can't sing and I can't dance
And the monkey don't have to wear no pants

I had a dream that I was in my Dixie home
When my sleep was shattered by the telephone
It was Samantha and she said darlin' boy
Can we get back together you're my pride and joy

Now I'm a southbound train
Just a rollin' down the line
Oh I'm a southbound train
Headin' to that gal of mine

Picked up my car keys threw on my coat and hat
And then I grabbed my suitcase and that was that
Ran to my old Ford and slid behind the wheel
Words can't tell you how I feel

Now I'm a southbound train
Just a rollin' down the line
Oh I'm a southbound train
Headin' to that gal of mine

Ooh, sounds like thunder in the night
Ooh, but there's no rain
Ooh, that rumble that you hear
It's me, I'm a southbound train

Well, I'm a southbound train
Just a rollin' down the line
Oh I'm a southbound train
Headin' to that gal of mine

Now I'm a southbound train
Just rumblin' down the track
Oh, I'm a southbound train
Ain't nothin' gonna hold me back
