A House With No Curtains

Album: Everything I Love

We still wear our rings

We still say I love you

We both play the part

Oh so well....

But everyone knows

It's just a sad show

And we're only, foolin ourselves

It's like living....in, a house with no curtains

The whole world, can see what's 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

It's like living in, a house with no curtains

The whole world, can see what's inside

You can turn out the lights in a house with no curtainsBut 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

Chasin' That Neon Rainbow

Daddy won a radio

Tuned it to a country show

I was rocking in the cradle to the crying of a steel guitar

Mama used to sing to me

She taught me that sweet harmony

Now she worries 'cause she never thought

I'd ever really take it this far

Singing in the bars and

Chasin' the neon rainbow

Livin' that honky tonk dream

'Cause all I've ever wanted

Is too pick this guitar and singJust trying to be somebody

Just wanna be heard and seen

Chasin' that neon rainbow


An atlas and a coffee cup

Five pickers in an old Dodge truck

Heading down to Houston for a show on Saturday night

This overhead is killing me

Half the time I sing for freeBut when the crowd's into it

Lord it makes this thing I doing seem right

Standing in the spotlight

Chasin' the neon rainbow



Is too pick this guitar and sing

Just trying to be somebody

Just wanna be heard and seenChasin' that neon rainbow


Daddy's got a radio

He won it thrity years ago

He said 'Son I just now we're gonna hear you singing on it someday'

I made it up to Music Row Lordy don't the wheels turn slow

But I wouldn't trade a minute I wouldn't have it any other way

Just show me to the stage

I'm chasin' the neon rainbow


3/43



Is too pick this guitar and sing

Just trying to be somebody

Just wanna be heard and seen

Chasin' that neon rainbow


I'm chasin' the neon rainbow

Dallas

Dallas packed her suitcase

And drove off in the brand new car I bought her

She made leaving me look easy

I wish she'd made it look a little harder

I took her out of Texas

When she was just a girl

But old Tennessee and me...

Couldn't take Texas out of her

(Chorus)

On how I wish Dallas was in Tennessee

If I could move Texas east

Then she'd be here with meThen nothin' else would come between the two of us

If Dallas was in Tennessee.......

By now she's leaving Memphis

And everything we had behind her

Lord I hope the gold band on her hand

Will serve as a reminder

That true love is a treasure

That's very seldom found

But you can't stay together if there's no common ground(Chorus)

Dallas packed her suitcase

And drove off in the brand new car I bought her

Home

In a small town down in Georgia over forty years ago

Her maiden name was Music til she met that Jackson boy

They married young like folks did then, not a penny to their name

But they believe the one you vow to love

Should always stay that same

And on the land his daddy gave him, a foundation under way

For a love to last forever or until their dying day

They built a bond that's strong enough to stand the test of time

And a place for us to turn to when our lives were in a bind

And they made their house from a toolshed

Grandaddy rolled down on two logsAnd they built walls all around it And they made that house a home

They taught us 'boutgood living They taught us right and wrong

Lord there'll never be another place In this world I'll call home

My momma raised five children, four girls, then there was me

She found her strength with faith in God and love of family

She never had a social life, home was all she knew

Except the time she took a job, to pay a bill or two

My daddy skinned his knuckles on the cars that he repaired

He never earned much money but he gave us all he hadHe never made the front page but he did the best he could

And folks drove their cars from miles around to let him look underneath the hood

And they made their house from a toolshed Grandaddy rolled down on two logs

And they built walls all around it and they made that house a home

They taught us 'bout good living

They taught us right and wrong

Lord there'll never be another place in this world I'll call home

No, there'll never be another place in this world that I'll call home

I'll Try

Here we are....Talkin' bout forever

Both know damn well

It's not easy together

We've both felt love....We've both felt pain

I'll take the sunshine

Over the rain

(chorus 1)

And I'll try To love only you

And I'll try

My best to be true ....Oh darlin', I'll try

So I'm not scared...It's worth a chance to me

Take my hand..Let's face eternity

Well I can't tell you...That I'll never change

But I can swear That in every way (chorus 1)

I'm not perfect Just another man

But I will give you (chorus 1)

All that I am

I'll tryTo be true to you

I'll try......I'll try

To always love you

I'll try

Love's Got A Hold On You

I called my doctor on the telephone

Help me Doc there's something wrong

I can't shake it it's gone too far

He said tell me what your symptoms are

I said my hands are sweaty and my knees are weak

I can't eat and I can't sleep

It's turning me every way but loose

He said it sounds like love's got a hold on you

No doubt love's got a hold on you

I told my buddies I was settlin' down

No more of this running 'roundThey looked at me like I was a fool

And said come on tell us what's wrong with you

I said my hands are sweaty and my knees are weak





Well I tossed and turned til the morning lightHolding my pillow hanging on for life

There ain't nothing I can do....

They said it sounds like love's got a hold on you

Sounds like love's got a hold on you

My hands are sweaty and my knees are weak




Sounds like love's got a hold on youSounds like love's got a hold on you

Midnight In Montgomery

Midnight in Montgomery, silver eagle, lonely road

I was on my way to Mobile for a big New Year's Eve show

I stopped for just a minute to see a friend outside of town

Put my collar up, I found his name, and felt the wind die down

Then a drunk man in a cowboy hat took me by surprise

Wearing shiny boots, a Nudi suit and haunting haunted eyes

He said 'Friend it's good to see you, it's nice to know you care'

Then the wind picked up and he was gone

Was he ever really there

'Cause it's midnight in MontgomeryJust hear that whipporwill

See the stars light up the purple sky

Feel that lonesome chill

Cause when the wind is right, you'll hear his songs

Smell whiskey in the air

Midnight in Montgomery

He's always singing there

Well, I climbed back on that eagle, took one last look around

Through red tail lights a shadow moved slow across the groundAnd off somewhere a midnight train is slowly passing by

I could hear that whistle moaning

I'm so lonesome I could cry

'Cause it's midnight in Montgomery

Just hear that whipporwill

See the stars light up the purple sky

Feel that lonesome chill

Cause when the wind is right, you'll hear his songs

Smell whiskey in the airMidnight in Montgomery



Oh Hank's always singing there

Shes Gone Country

She's been playin' in a room on the Strip

For ten years in Vegas

Every night she looks in the mirror

And she only ages

She's been readin' about Nashville and all

The records that everybody's buyin'

Says 'I'm a simple girl myself

Grew up on Long Island'

So she packs her bags to try to her hand

Says this might be my last chance

She's gone country, look at them bootsShe's gone country, back to her roots

She's gone country, a new kind of suit

She's gone country, here she comes

Well the folk scene is dead

But he's holdin' out in the village

He's been writin' songs speakin' out

Against wealth and privilege

He says 'I dont believe in money

But a man could make him a killin''Cause some of that stuff don't sound

Much different than Dylan

I hear down there it's changed you see

They're not as backward as they used to be

He's gone country, look at them boots

He's gone country, back to his roots

He's gone country, a new kind of suit

He's gone country, here he comes

Well, he commutes to LA

But he's got a house in the valley

But the bills are pilin' up

And the pop scene just ain't on the rally

And he says 'Honey I'm a serious composer

Schooled in voice and composition

But with the crime and the smog these days

This ain't no place for children

Lord it sounds so easy it shouldn't take long

Be back in the money in no time at all'


11/43


He's gone country, backt to his roots

He's gone country, a new kind of suit

He's gone country, here he comes

Yeah he's gone country, a new kind of walk

He's gone country, a new kind of talk


He's gone country, oh back to his roots

He's gone country

He's gone country

Everybody's gone country

Yeah we've gone country

The whole world's gone country

SOMEDAY

She looked me in the eye and said its over

I cant take this heartache anymore

She said dont tell me lies and try to please me

Ive heard it all so many time before

And I took her by the arm and said dont leave me

Theres nothin in this world I wouldnt do

Just give me time Ill be the man youve needed

She said I wish that I could take that for the truth

Reff

And I said someday

Ill get my life straightAnd she said its too late

What done is done

And I told her someday

She said I cant wait

cause sometimes someday just never comes

She said all Ive ever wanted was to love u

And somewhere deep inside me I still do

But now I think its time to stopped believin

cause Im never gonna see a change in u

Oh sometimes, someday just never comes....

Tall, Tall Trees

If you wanna drive a big limousine

I'll buy you tall, tall trees and all the waters in the seas

Well if it's lovin' you want well I've got itIf it's money you want the I'll get it

If it's money you want well I'll get it



Yeah I'm a fool, fool, fool for you

Livin' On Love

Two young people without a thing

Say some vows and spread their wings

Settle down with just what they need

Livin on love

She dont care 'bout whats in style

She just likes the wayhe smiles

It takes more than marble and tile

Livin on love

Livin on love, buyin on time

Without somebody nothing aint worth a dime

Just like an old fashioned story book rhymeLivin on love

It sounds simple thats what you're thinkin'

But love can walk through fire without blinkin'

It doesnt take much when you get enough

Livin' on love

Two old people without a thing

Children gone but still they sing

Side by side in that front porch swing

Livin on loveHe cant see anymore

And she can barely sweep the floor

Hand in hand they'll walk through that door

Just livin on love

Livin on love, buyin on time

Without somebody nothing aint worth a dime

Just like an old fashioned story book rhyme

Livin on love

It sounds simple thats what you're thinkin'But love can walk through fire without blinkin'

It doesnt take much when you get enough

Livin' on love

No it doesnt take much when you get enough

Livin' on love

I Don't Even Know Your Name

Well I was sitting in a roadhouse down on highway 41

You were wiping off some ketchup on a table that was done

I konw you didn't see me, I was in a corner booth

Of course you weren't my waitress mine was missing her front tooth

So I flagged you down for coffee

But I couldn't say a thing

But I'm in love with you baby and I don't even know your name

I'm in love with you baby, I don't even know your name

I've never been to good at all these sexual games

So maybe it's just better if we leave it this way

I'm in love with you baby and I don't 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



I've never been to good at all these sexual games

So maybe it's just better if we leave it this wayI'm in love with you baby and I don't 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 name's now the same'

'Cause I;m married to you baby and I don't even know your name

I'm married to a waitress, I don't even know her nameI've never been to good at all these sexual games

I never thought my love life would quite turn out this way

Hey I'm married to a waitress and I don't even know her name

Summertime Blues Lyrics

Well I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler

About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollar

Everytime I call my baby, to try to get a date

My boss says, "No dice, son, you gotta work late"

Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do

'Cause there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom 'n' papa told me, "Son, you gotta make some money

If you wanna use the car to go ridin' next Sunday"

Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick

"Now you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"



I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a vacation

I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nation

Well I called my congressman and he said quote

"I'd like to help you son, but you're too young to vote"



Well I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler

About workin' all summer just to try an' earn a dollarSometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do


Yeah, sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do


No there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Another Good Reason

I woke up the other night

Lying on the floor

Right beside someone

I've never seen before

She said my name's Juliet And Romeo you ain't

Thats another good reason not to drink


When I'm sober I'm almost a saint

If I keep going on like this

I'll end up like ole Hank


I cant go see my best friend

He said stay away

Just because of what I said

On his wedding day

He oughta call a sherman

Cause she looks just like a tank



When I'm sober I'm almost a saintIf I keep going on like this



I'm gonna sue to city

About that policeman

Last night as I left the bar

He stepped right on my hand .....

He said 'Are you drunk or blind?'

I said 'Let me think'.Thats another good reason not to drink


When I'm sober I'm almost a saint

If I keep going on like this




When I'm sober I'm almost a saintIf I keep going on like this

Thats another good reason

Baby let me in I'm freezing

Another good reason not to drink

She's Got The Rhythm (And I Got The Blues)

This old bar stools feeling higher

As a started sinking lower

The minute that she waltzed right through that door

Not long ago I held her

Like a fool I went and left her

Now she's with somebody else out on that floor

And she's got the rhythm and I got the blues

And she's showing me how much I had to lose

With her every little move she's telling me I'm over you

She's got the rhythm and I got the blues

Well that music's gettin' louderAs my heart keeps beatin' faster

As she spells out regret in perfect time

Well I thought I wanted freedom

But that ball and chain I needed

'Cause when you choose, sometimes you lose the prize

And she's got the rhythm and I got the blues

And she's showing me how much I had to lose

With her every little move she's telling me I'm over you

She's got the rhythm and I got the bluesWith her every little move she's telling me I'm over you

She's got the rhythm and I got the blues

Chattahoochee

Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee

It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie

We laid rubber on the Georgie asphalt

We got a little crazy but we never got caught

Down by the river on a friday night

A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight

Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women

Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute

Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee

Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me

But I learned how to swim and I learned how I was

A lot about livin' and a litttle 'bout love

Well we fooged up the windows in my old chevy

I was willing but she wasn't ready

So a settled for a burger and a grape sno-cone

Dropped her off early but I didn't go home




Never had a plan just a livin' for the minuteYeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee

Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me



Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee

It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie

We laid rubber on the Georgie asphalt

We got a little crazy but we never got caught

Well we fooged up the windows in my old chevy

I was willing but she wasn't ready

So a settled for a burger and a grape sno-cone

Dropped her off early but I didn't go home




Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute

Yeah way down yonder on the ChattahoocheeNever knew how much that muddy water meant to me

Don't Close Your Eyes Lyrics

Songwriters: MCDILL, BOB

I know you loved him, along time ago

And even now in my arms, you still want him I know

But darlin' this time let your mem'ries die

When you hold me tonight don't close your eyes

Don't close your eyes let it be me

Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy

Darling just once let yesterday go

And you'll find more love than you've ever known

Just hold me tight when you love me tonight

And don't close your eyes

Maybe I've been a fool, holding on all this time

Lying here in your arms, knowing he's in your mind

But I keep hoping someday.....that you'll see the light~~

Let it be tonight, don't close your eyes


Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy

Darlin' just once let yesterday go


Just hold me tight when you love me tonightAnd don't close your eyes


And don't pretend it's him in some fantasy

Darlin' just once let yesterday go


Just hold me tight when you love me tonight

And don't close your eyes

Just hold me tight when you love me tonightAnd don't close your eyes...

Everything I love

Coffee keeps me up and I can't sleep

And when I drink too much then I can't eat

Losing you has led me to believe

Everything I love is killing me


Cigarettes, Jack Daniels and caffeine

And that's the way you're turning out to be

Everything I love, gonna have to give up

'Cause everything I love is killing me

I guess I made a big mistake

Thinkin' you're a habit I can breakWell, I'm addicted to you now I see



Cigarettes, Jack Daniels and caffeine

And that's the way you're turning out to be

Its Time You learned about goodbye

Well I've been on the wrong side

Of the front door too often

Watched you slam it in my face

Well I may have learned the hard way

I'm not a soft one

Tonight I'm standin in your place

Cause you taught me a lot about leavin

Won't even have to try

So here's your lesson in heartache and grievin

And a chance for you to cry

Cause it's time you learned about goodbye

I've stood behind you

And I've laid beside you

But I won't do that anymore

Cause I'm tired of bein

Just here when you want me

Tonight I'm walkin out that door

Cause you taught me a lot about leavin

Won't even have to try

So here's your lesson in heartache and grievinAnd a chance for you to cry

Cause it's time you learned about goodbye

It's time you learned about goodbye

Bring on the Night

It's twilight and the streets Light, are coming onI'm in a stream of cars

On this Boulevard, headed home

I can hardly wait

You can make what went wrong today ..Seam right

It's been a long hard day

So bring on the night

Bring on the night...

And pull down the shades

Lock the world out sideAnd throw the key away

Turn on the feelings

And turn out the lights

Lets call it a day

And bring on the night

From 9 to 5 ...it's the same ole grind

All weeklong

And the only thing

That keeps sane, is coming homeWhen the sun goes down

You know how to set things right

Lets put the day behind us


Bring on the night

And pull down the shades

Lock the world out side

And throw the key away

Turn on the feelingsAnd turn out the lights

Lets call it a day


Lets call it a day

"When Somebody Loves You"

When your heart is all alone every second

Seems so longWhen 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


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




When somebody loves youThe 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





The way I love you

The way I love you

The way I love you

"Don't Rock The Jukebox"

Don't rock the jukebox

I wanna hear some Jones

My heart ain't ready

For the Rolling StonesI don't feel like rockin'

Since my baby's gone

So don't rock the jukebox

Play me a country song

Before you drop that quarter

Keep one thing in mind

You got a heartbroke hillbilly

Standing here in line

I've been down and lonelyEver since she left

Before you punch that number

Could I make one request


I wanna hear some Jones


For the Rolling Stones

I don't feel like rockin'

Since my baby's goneSo don't rock the jukebox


I ain't got nothin'

Against rock & roll

But when your heart's been broken

You need a song that's slow

Ain't nothin' like a steel guitar

To drown a memory

Before you spend your money babyPlay a song for me


I wanna hear George Jones


For the Rolling Stones

I don't feel like rockin'

Since my baby's gone

So don't rock the jukebox

"Little Bitty"

Have a little love on a little honeymoon

You got a little dish and you got a little spoon

A little bitty house and a little bitty yard

A little bitty dog and a little bitty car.

Well, it's alright to be little bitty

A little hometown or a big old city

Might as well share, might as well smile

Life goes on for a little bitty while.

A little bitty baby in a little bitty gown

It'll grow up in a little bitty town

A big yellow bus and little bitty books

It all started with a little bitty look.

Well, it's alright to be little bitty




(Yeeeaaahhhh)

You know you got a job and a little bitty check

A six pack of beer and television setLittle bitty world goes around and around

Little bit of silence and a little bit of sound.

A good ole boy and a pretty little girl

Start all over in a little bitty world

Little bitty plan and a little bitty dream

It's all part of a little bitty scheme.

It's alright to be little bitty

A little hometown or a big old cityMight as well share, might as well smile


It's alright to be little bitty




(Whoooo)...

"In The Garden"

I come to the garden alone

While the dew is still on the roses

And the voice I hear, falling on my ear

The Son of God disclosesAnd He walks with me

And He talks with me

And He tells me I am His own

And the joy we share as we tarry there

None other has ever known

I'd stay in the garden with Him

'Tho the night around me is falling

But He bids me go; through the voice of woe

His voice to me is callingAnd He walks with me

And He talks with me

And He tells me I am His own

And the joy we share as we tarry there

None other has ever known

I'm grown up now three daughters of my own

To let them drive my old Jeep across a pasture in our home

Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file

And pull out that old memoryAnd think of me and smile, and say

Just an old worn-out Jeep

Rusty old floorboard, hot on my feet

A young girl two hands on the wheel

I can't replace the way it made me feel

And he'd say, turn it left and steer it right

Straighten up girl now you're doing just fine

Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride

But I was high on a mountain

When Daddy let me drive

When Daddy let me drive

Oh he let me drive

Daddy let me drive

It's just an old plywood boat

With a '75 Johnson with electric choke

"So You Don't Have To Love Me Anymore"

Ill be the bad guy,

Ill take the black eye,

When I walk out,

You can slam the door,

Ill be the S.O.B,

If thats what you need fromme,

So you dont have to love me anymore.

When you and our friends talk,

Make it all my fault,

Tell em Im rotten to the core,

Ill let it all slide,

Get em all on your side,So you dont have to love me anymore.

I will keep,

All those memories, of the good times.

Yeah, there were some good times.

So when you think,

Of you and me,

They wont even cross your mind.

If the wine youre drinkin,Leads you to thinkin,

That you want what we had before,

Girl you can call me,

Ill let it ring and ring,


Yeah, I will keep,

All those memories, of the good times.

Yeah, there were some good times.

So when you think,Of you and me,

They wont even cross your mind.

If you need me to make you cry,

I dont want to but Ill try,

Tropical Depression Lyrics

Now here I sit on the beach

Watching the tide ebb and flow

I booked my room for a week

But now I'm ready to go

I'm in a tropical depression

I've got the blue water blues

Can't shake this loving you obsession

Can't stand this sand in my shoes

This forgetting you vacation

Is just a fool's holiday

If I can't get over you

This tropical depression is gonna

Blow me away

This should be paradise

Heaven down by the sea

Without you here by my side

It feels like hell to me

I'm in a tropical depression

I've got the blue water blues

Can't shake this loving you obsession

Can't stand this sand in my shoesThis forgetting you vacation

Is just a fool's holiday



Blow me away



Blow me away

Here In The Real World Lyrics

Alan Jackson

Intro:G-A-D-G-D

D G

Cowboys don't cry,

A D

And heroes don't die.

G

Good always wins

A D

Again and again.

G A

And love is a sweet dreamD

That always comes true

G

Oh, if life were like the movies,

A D G/D

I'd never be blue.

(Chorus)

D GBut here in the real world,

D

It's not that easy at all,

A A7

Cause when hearts get broken,

D

It's real tears that fall.

G

And darlin', it's sad but true,

DBut the one thing I've learned from you,

Em F#m G

Is how the boy don't always get the girl,

A G

Here in the real world. D/G/A/D/G/D

D G

I gave you my love,

A DBut that wasn't enough,

Some glad morning, when this life is over

to my home on God's celestial shore

C# F#

I'll fly away

Chorus

F# F#7

I'll fly away, oh, gloryB F#

I'll fly away

F#

when I die, hallelujah, by and by

F# C# F#

I'll fly away

just a few more weary days and then

I'll fly away

to a land where joys will never endI'll fly away

Chorus

For capo on 2

F# = E

B = A

C# = B
