John Michael Montgomery Album

I know you've heard that worn out line
About love at first sight
Well I never knew those words were true
Till you walked in tonight
All it took was just one look
To knock me off my feet
I'm not a man of many words
So I'll make this short and sweet

Could ya would ya ain't ya gonna if I asked you
Would ya wanna be my baby tonight
Yeah I'd take a chance slow dance make a little romance
Honey it'll be alright
Girl you got me wishin' we were huggin'
and a kissin' and a holdin' each other tight
So could ya would ya ain't ya gonna if I asked you
Would ya wanna be my baby tonight

I'm not tryin to come on like
Some rhinestone romeo
I'm a lookin' for a whole lot more
Than a one night rodeo
What can I do to prove to you
I'm a layin' it on the line
I'll even get down on my knees
Just to beg you one more time

Girl could ya would ya ain't ya gonna if I asked you
Would ya wanna be my baby tonight
Yeah I'd take a chance slow dance make a little romance
Honey it'll be alright
Girl you got me wishin we were huggin
and a kissin and a holdin each other tight
So could ya would ya ain't ya gonna if I asked you
Would ya wanna be my baby tonight

Girl could ya would ya ain't ya gonna if I asked you
Would ya wanna be my baby tonight
Yeah I'd take a chance slow dance make a little romance
Honey it'll be alright
Girl you got me wishin' we were huggin'
and a kissin' and a holdin' each other tight
So could ya would ya ain't ya gonna if I asked you
Would ya wanna be my baby tonight
Could ya would ya ain't ya gonna if I asked you
Would ya wanna be my baby tonight

Pick you up on Friday
About half past 8
Just time for a movie
You can't stay out late
I take you home
A little kiss at the door
Lately I'm thinkin'
I want a little more
Tell your daddy
I'm a hard working man
And after church on Sunday
I'm gonna ask for your hand
If he don't like it
Well that's just tough
I've got to have your full time love

Your undivided lovin'
Is what I need
Twenty four hours a day
Seven days a week
This part time romance
It just ain't enough
I've got to have your full time love

Sunday afternoon
Finally rolls around
I get in my old truck
And I drive downtown
Your daddy's waitin'
He says I got bad news
I've got to tell you son
She's too good for you
What he don't know
Is when the sun goes down
We're gonna slip out that window
And we'll leave this town
Drive to Memphis
Tie this thing up
I've got to have your full time love

Your undivided lovin'
Is what I need
Twenty four hours a day
Seven days a week
This part time romance
It just ain't enough
I've got to have your full time love
This part time romance
Lord it just ain't enough
I've got to have your full time love

I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
But you can be sure I know my part
'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I'll make mistakes
I'll never break your heart

I swear
By the moon and stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear
Like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear

I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the wall
And when there's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if I still care
'Cause as time turns the page
My love won't age at all

I swear
By the moon and stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear
Like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear

I swear
By the moon and stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear
Like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear
I swear

She's not much for thrills
And says things with fancy frills
Don't turn her on
She seems so content working hard
To make our house a home
She's steady as a rock
Standing by me
Even when I don't succeed
Lord I wish I could afford
The things she swears
She don't really need

She don't need a band to dance
It don't take wings for her fly
Our love's gonna grow
If there ain't much do si do
It's still gonna be alright
We make such pretty music
That you can tell at just a glance
When I take the notion
She seconds that emotion
She don't need a band to dance

She didn't say a thing
When we had to pawn the ring
To pay the rent
What I make in overtime
Stacked against the bills
Don't make a dent
Just when I think I let her down
And failed to be the man I oughta be
She still sees the bright side
Of everything including me

She don't need a band to dance
It don't take wings for her fly
Our love's gonna grow
If there ain't much do si do
It's still gonna be alright
We make such pretty music
That you can tell at just a glance
When I take the notion
She seconds that emotion
She don't need a band to dance
She don't need a band to dance

(Mike Geiger/Woddy Mullis)

I sit here tonight
And look in your eyes
For that old familiar flame
That love that burns
Makes my wolrd turn
Two hearts beating the same
Is it all in my mind
Or is it harder to find
I feel like I'm in the dark
I thought it was real
But I'm starting to feel
Like it must be all in my heart

I'm a fool for believing
But I just keep dreaming
While we just keep drifting apart
Trying to make something
Where there's really nothing
I guess it's all in my heart

I keep telling myself
There's something else
I could do
To find that spark
But wherever it lies
It's not in your eyes
I guess it's all in my heart

I'm a fool for believing
But I just keep dreaming
While we just keep drifting apart
Trying to make something
Where there's really nothing
I guess it's all in my heart
Just trying to make something
Where there's really nothing
I guess it's all in my heart

Got some cash in my pocket
And it's burning a hole
Got the boss on my back
And it's getting real old
This week's been hell
But I'll party it out of my mind
From Friday at five
Till Sunday at closing time

Ain't a punching no clock
Ain't a making no plans
Need a girl on my arm
And a beer in my hands
I'm tight as drum
But I'm gonna cut loose and unwind
From Friday at five
Till Sunday at closing time

Got some pretty little women waiting on me
To shake up this sleepy old town
That's one job I take seriously
I wouldn't dream of letting them down

Got a call from my ex
And she's asking for more
I'm late with the rent
And the wolf's at the door
But thats gonna be
The furthest thing from my mind
From Friday at five
Till Sunday at closing time

Got some pretty little women waiting on me
To shake up this sleepy old town
That's one job I take seriously
I wouldn't dream of letting them down

It might take me all week
To get back on my feet
But I know I'll be alright
From Friday at five
Till Sunday at closing time
From Friday at five
Till Sunday at closing time

I don't have a lot to show
For these years of hard work
If you look at what I own
Still she's always telling me
To hold on to my dreams
Even when my hope is gone
Some may say that dreaming's just for fools
And there are times I thought that might be true

But she thinks I could rope the moon
In her eyes there is nothing I can't do
When I think it's out of reach
She's the reason I still try
She thinks I could rope the moon

When I look at the sky
But can't see through the clouds
She shows me the brightest stars
If I think of coming back
'Cause I'm having my doubts
She tells me I've come so far
Nothing in this world comes easily
But I can't lose with her right next to me

'Cause she thinks I could rope the moon
In her eyes there is nothing I can't do
When I think it's out of reach
She's the reason I still try
She thinks I could rope the moon
Oh she thinks I could rope the moon

If you've got faith and you believe in what you're living for,
you can stand your ground when the devil's at your door.
And a little hope can help you when the road is gettin' rough.
But there's nothing quite like life if you've got love.

(Chorus)
If you've got love
you can move a mountain a little bit further down the line.
You can do it all at once or one rock at a time.
you can turn a ordinary picture into a priceless work of art.
That's what you can do if you've got love in your heart.

Now there's nothing like a real good friend to tell your troubles to,
but there's just so much a real good friend can't do.
'Cause it takes a lover's touch to chase the darkest blues away.
If you've got love, you've got what it takes.

(repeat Chorus)

Darling I have a true confession
I ran into an old flame today
You wouldn't like the way our conversation
Turned to how we let each other slip away
I was reminded of a half forgotten feeling
One I shared with her so long ago
Since honesty is one thing we believe in
Let me tell you something you should know

Oh how she shines
Shines a light on you
And in that light I see
Just how much you mean to me
Oh how she shines

There was a time when she was all that mattered
Long before I gave my heart to you
But standing there only inches from her
She touched my hand and suddenly I knew
If there was a time I ever doubted
What I'd do if she walked through my door
Could I turn around and leave without her
With all my heart now I can say for sure

Oh how she shines
Shines a light on you
And in that light I see
Just how much you mean to me
Oh how she shines
Oh how she shines

Well I work six days out of seven
Waiting all week for Saturday night
Going out to neon heaven
Punch the clock on party time
Jamming this old pickup across the county line
Ain't it good to be alive

Kick it up
Tell the boys in the band
Play it hot 'cause I came in here to dance
Kick it up
Give that country girl a whirl
My boots are gonna lose the blues when they turn those guitars up
Kick it up

Got my paycheck in my pocket
Darling we'll spend every dime
And when this bar starts rocking
We'll show them all just how to unwind
Don't worry bout your troubles
Leave 'em at the door
And I'll meet you out on the floor

Kick it up
Tell the boys in the band
Make it smoke 'cause she came in here to dance
Kick it up
Give that country girl a whirl
My boots are gonna lose the blues when they turn those guitars up
Kick it up
Kick it up

When the boss man gets you down
Kick it up
If you're tired of the runaround
Kick it up
Yeah we know Monday morning will be here before too long
So until the night is gone

Kick it up
Tell the boys in the band
Play it hot make it smoke 'cause we came here to dance
Kick it up
Give that country girl a whirl
My boots are gonna lose the blues when they turn those guitars up
Kick it up
Oh kick it up
Kick it up (kick it up)
Kick it up (kick it up)
Kick it up
Kick it up (kick it up)
Kick it up
Kick it up
