A little country church on a two lane road
A bride and groom coming out the door
White lace dress and a red bouquet
Just married written on a blue Chevrolet
Don't that make you want to fall in love
Don't that look like a picture of us
A match made in heaven if there ever was
Don't that make you want to fall
That just makes me want to give you my heart
Ever forever needs a place to start
Gotta be a sign from up above
Don't that make you want to fall in love
Old folks sittin' in a front porch swing
Still holdin' hands like they were sixteen
Fifty good years they're a lover's dream
Darlin' that could be you and me
Don't that make you want to fall in love
Don't that look like a picture of us
A match made in heaven if there ever was
Don't that make you want to fall
That just makes me want to give you my heart
Ever forever needs a place to start
Gotta be a sign from up above
Don't that make you want to fall in love
Yeah, yeah
Don't that make you want to fall in love

Grandpa Told Me So
If you don't get in the water, you're never gonna learn to swim
He said a snake is just as scared of you as you are of him
He could tell by the moon when the fish would bite
Seems there was nothing that he didn't know.
As a kid I believed 'cause Grandpa told me so
He talked Daddy into letting me have my first car
I thought I was really somethin' til Becky Thompson broke my heart
That first taste of love nearly did me in
Getting over her was slow
But I knew someday I would 'cause Grandpa told me so
He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And I lived by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so.
I promised him I wouldn't cry when it was his time to leave
That's the only promise I made him I couldn't keep
He smiled from his bed and said we'll meet again
Somewhere down the road
And I believe 'cause Grandpa told me so
He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give.
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And I live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so
He said life is made for you to live
The best love is the love that you give.
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go
And I live by those words 'cause Grandpa told me so
Yeah, and I still believe 'cause Grandpa told me so
Grandpa told me so
I still believe

The Bigger the Fool
Her long legs looked like trouble
as she sashayed through the door
And my mind flashed a warning sign
that I chose to ignore
For the prize I thought I could win
the risk seemed mighty small
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
Fell in love in the heat of passion
Oh but passion has it's price
Under all that beauty
beat a heart that was made of ice
God knows as far as I could see she didn't have a flaw
But the bigger the fool the harder the fall
I said a woman to keep
The softer the skin
The sweeter the love
The more bitter the end
Well one lesson I've learned that applies to all
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
One day she was lovin' me
The next day she was gone
And I became another verse
to a lonesome heartbreak song
Now that I've learned to face the truth
the words stick in my craw
Well the bigger the fool the harder the fall
I said a woman to keep
The softer the skin
The sweeter the love
The more bitter the end
Well, one lesson I've learned that applies to all
The bigger the fool the harder the fall
The bigger the fool the harder the fall

All I Need To Know
With a little luck
this old truck
will get me home today
With a little more
I'll still have this job tomorrow
Weather man says wet weekend
Well he just might be right
But rain or shine you'll be mine tonight
That's all I need to know
In a world where most things come and go
I'll always have you to hold
and that's all I need to know
Heaven knows
I ain't even close
to being God's gift to women
But in your arms
I feel like I am
I don't know it all
I sure can't solve
the problems of the human race
But I know how to bring a smile
to your face
That's all I need to know
In a world where most things come and go
I'll always have you to hold
and that's all I need to know
Darlin' say it one more time
You will forever be mine
That's all I need to know
In a world where most things come and go
I'll always have you to hold
and that's all I need to know
I'll always have you to hold
and that's all I need to know

Honey Would You Stand By Me
If I quit my job for the simple life
Honey would you stand by me
If I bought a little cabin on a mountainside
Honey would you stand by me
Would you be my one true friend
Stick with me through thick and thin
If the roof was old and the rain came in
Honey would you stand by me
If I tried my luck in Hollywood
Honey would you stand by me
If my break never came like I thought it would
Honey would you stand by me
Would you be my heart of gold
And never complain when the money was low
If your coat was thin and your shoes were old
Honey would you stand by me
And if I joined up with the rodeo
Honey would you stand by me
If we traveled around from show to show
Honey would you stand by me
Would you be a cowboy's dream
And smile right on when times got lean
If you didn't have nothin' but boots and jeans
Honey would you stand by me
Honey would you stand
Honey would you stand by me
Honey would you stand
Honey would you stand by me
Honey would you stand
Honey would you stand by me

Someone Else's Hog
Well I got a little girl and she's got a daddy
who's got a lotta money and it makes me happy
to follow them around like a little whipped puppy dog
Well she's my honey but he's my sugar dad
This country boy ain't doin' too bad
Livin' high on someone else's hog
Well, I'm livin' high on someone else's hog
I sit around all day like a twenty-four karat
bump on a golden log
Well I traded that rusty ol' GMC
Got a long black Cadillac limousine
I'm a livin' high on someone else's hog
Well this redneck boy from a blue-collar town
has really moved up since he got tied down
I got a brand new life and I owe it to my daddy-in-law
Well he gave me a so-called executive position
Now I get up early every day and go fishin'
I'm a livin' high on someone else's hog
Well, I'm livin' high on someone else's hog
I sit around all day like a twenty-four karat
bump on a golden log
Well I traded that rusty ol' GMC
Got a long black Cadillac limousine
I'm a livin' high on someone else's hog
Well, I'm livin' high on someone else's hog
I sit around all day like a twenty-four karat
bump on a golden log
Well I traded that rusty ol' GMC
Got a long black Cadillac limousine
I'm a livin' high on someone else's hog
Well I traded that rusty ol' GMC
Got a long black Cadillac limousine
I'm a livin' high on someone else's hog

Me and You
Ordinary no, really don't think so
Not a love this true
Common destiny
We were meant to be
Me and you
Like a perfect scene from a movie screen
where every dream comes true
Suited perfectly for eternity
Me and you
Every day I need you even more
And the nighttime too
There's no way
I could ever let you go
even if I wanted to
Every day I live
I try my best to give
all I have to you
I thank the stars above
that we share this love
Me and you
Every day I need you even more
And the nighttime too
There's no way
I could ever let you go
even if I wanted to
Ordinary no, I really don't think so
Just a precious few
ever make it last
Get as lucky as
Me and you
Me and you

Between Midnight and Daylight
Their shadows danced closer on the honky tonk walls
as the band plays the last verse to that goin' home waltz
And they'll start to pair off 'neath the parking lot moon
And some cars and a pickup won't be picked up 'til noon
Somewhere between midnight and daylight
It's an after hours merry-go-round
Somewhere between midnight and daylight
There's a whole lot of love lost and found
I wish I could say now that I've learned it all
from my observations as a fly on the wall
But if lonesome's a crime oh I'm guilty as sin
'cause tomorrow I'll pick up my ol' pickup again
Somewhere between midnight and daylight
It's an after hours merry-go-round
Somewhere between midnight and daylight
There's a whole lot of love lost and found
There's a whole lot of love lost and found

Paris, Tennessee
I may not have a whole lot of money
But I got enough girl for you and me
I'm takin' off won't you come with me honey
Gonna take you all the way to Paris, Tennessee
I wanna show you the Riviera
Got good tires and a good CB
Put on some lipstick, your mascara
'Cause we're goin' all the way to Paris, Tennessee
Baby I adore you
And don't say I've never done nothin' for you
Girl that just ain't true
Oh here we go ....
Baby I adore you
And don't say I've never done nothin' for you
Girl that just ain't true
We might not see no Eiffel Tower
But I got a cousin that I want you to meet
He can pick the wildwood flower
Better'n anybody down in Paris, Tennessee
We're goin' all the way to Paris, Tennessee
Ooh la-la baby
Vous le vous
And barbecue

The Tin Man
Saw a man in the movies
That didn't have a heart
How I wish I could give him mine
Then I wouldn't have to feel
it breakin' all apart
and this emptiness inside
would suit me fine
It's times like these
I wish I were the tin man
You could hurt me all you wanted
I'd never even know
And I'd give anything
just to be the tin man
Then I wouldn't have a heart
and I wouldn't need a soul
I couldn't see your leavin' comin'
It took me by surprise
Even now still seems like a dream
But I know I cant be dreaming
'cause as I lay down each night
the pain's so great that it won't let me sleep
It's times like these
I wish I were the tin man
You could hurt me all you wanted
I'd never even know
Well I'd give anything
just to be the tin man
Then I wouldn't have a heart
and I wouldn't need a soul
I'd give anything
just to be the tin man
and I wouldn't have a heart
and I wouldn't miss you so
