When your lover lets you down and your heart is surely breakin'
Your head is in your hands and you think you're gonna cry
There's nothing you can do to make it any better
It's a feelin' you can't lose
It ain't pneumonia, it's the blues
When you're holed up in your room, don't want to see the sun a shining
You're thinking of the past and worried 'bout today
You want to be alone, but you need someone to hold you
You're taking pills and drinkin' booze
It ain't pneumonia, it's the blues
There's no one you can call
And there's no one a calling
You're feeling sorry for yourself and you can't cure your misery
Your body is aching, but you show no sign of fever
It's a feelin' you can't lose
It ain't pneumonia, it's the blues
When you're holed up in your room, don't want to see the sun a shining
You're thinking of the past and worried 'bout today
You want to be alone, but you need someone to hold you
You're taking pills and drinkin' booze
It ain't pneumonia, it's the blues
You're taking pills and drinkin' booze
It ain't pneumonia, it's the blues.

Little girl playthings, stuffed toys and dolls,
little girl pictures hung on the walls, now they're just mem'ries gathering dust
Remember the time when they meant so much
Then she starts talking to boys on the phone
Where has the little girl gone? It's the miracle part of the overall plan
Girl becomes woman and boy becomes man
Then they fall in love and have kids of their own
That's where the children have gone
Old model trains and old fishing poles
Little league trophies and Lord only knows
Now in the closet, beginning to rust
Remember the time when they meant so much
Then he's off doing things on his own,
Where has the little boy gone?
It's the miracle part of the overall plan
Girl becomes woman and boy becomes man
Then they fall in love and have kids of their own
That's where the children have gone

There's a little girl in our neighborhood,
her name is Charlotte Johnson and she's really lookin' good.
I had to go and see her, so I called her on the phone.
I walked over to her house and this was going on:

Her brother was on the sofa, eatin' chocolate pie,
her Mama was in the kitchen cuttin' chicken up to fry.
Her daddy was in the backyard rollin' up a garden hose,
I was on the porch with Charlotte, feelin' love down to my toes...
and we were Swingin', yes we were Swingin'...
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing,
I can't believe I'm out here on her front porch in this swing,
Just-a-swingin,

Yeah, and we'll be swingin, yes, we'll be swinging.
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sang,
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch in the swang,
Just-a-swangin.

Now Charlotte she's the darlin', she's the apple of my eye,
and when I'm on the swang with her it makes me almost high.
And Charlotte is my lover and she has been since the sprang,
I just can't believe it started on her front porch in this swang.

Just a swangin, well just a swangin,
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sang,
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch in the swang,
Just-a-swangin.

I said, Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sang,
I can't believe I'm out here on her front porch in the swang,
Just-a-swangin.

Now he's a hard workin' easy goin' country boy he wouldn't harm a fly
Nadine down at the hair salon promised she would be his bride
He took it hard when she ran off with the beauty supply salesman
But that's how romance goes sometimes but Herschel don't understand
He'll play the same sad song on the old jukebox drink up every dime he's got
He'll peel out in his pickup truck sling gravel through the parking lot
You wouldn't wanna tangle with a grizzly bear or step on a copperhead snake
So if you cross his path you better beware been wounded by a woman
He's a hillbilly with a heartache

He was gonna buy her a modular home with no wax linoleum floors
Now his mama's worried cause he don't drop by to watch wrestling anymore
He just rides around with a loaded shotgun hanging in his rifle rack
If I was that smooth talkin' city boy I'd sure be watching my back
He'll play the same sad song...

Them big old arms that used to hold her tight cound bring about any man down
When a good ol' boy's been hurt real bad he just don't give a damn

[fiddle]

He'll play the same sad song...
Been wounded by a woman he's a hillbilly with a heartache

I've found a girl who's got her own money
She's so good lookin' that it ain't funny
She's got a Self-and-Beauty school diploma
A runnin' up to Miss Oklahoma
She looks uptown but she ain't really
She's into football she likes my chilli

Somebody slap me I said somebody slap me
Can't be this happy I said somebody slap me

I've found a girl who's sweeter than honey
She pets my dog and she likes my buddies
The kind of girl who ain't afraid of nothing
She's independent she does her own plumbing
Her daddy's rich but she don't let it show
She likes to fish she's got her own boat y'all

Somebody slap me...

She's got long blonde hair and her eyes are blue
She wants a husband but not any time soon y'all

Somebody slap me...
Somebody slap me...

I've got a feeling coming over me
Being here close to you
It's a strong feeling like I never had before
I'm just a little bit nervous, and don't know what to do
It may seem strange but girl I'm wantin' it more

South moon under, it's a natural wonder
It makes lovers fall in love,
It can make you wanna laugh or cry
South moon under, it hits you like thunder

And girl I've got a feeling
There's a south moon under tonight
I've heard old folks talk about
The moon and stars and signs
But I never knew just how true it could be
Then, just out of nowhere and right before my eyes
I saw a light that made a believer out of me

South moon under, it's a natural wonder
It makes lovers fall in love,
It can make you wanna laugh or cry
South moon under, it hits you like thunder

South moon under, it's a natural wonder
It makes lovers fall in love,
It can make you wanna laugh or cry
South moon under, it hits you like thunder

Yeah, girl I've got a feeling
There's south moon under tonight

Some spend a lifetime searching for gold
Crossing the ocean, like in days of old
And now that I've found you I realize
That you are forever where my heart lies
From sunrise to sunset, oh Sara
You're as good as it can get, oh Sara
I keep my promise to come back someday
Oh Sara, never change
I miss the siesta and water so blue
I dream of the white sands and Sara, of you
In my heart there's a spirit like a fire it burns
Watch over our secret until I return
From sunrise to sunset, oh Sara
You're as good as it can get, oh Sara
I keep my promise to come back someday
Oh Sara, never change
From sunrise to sunset, oh Sara
You're as good as it can get, oh Sara
I keep my promise to come back someday
Oh Sara, never change
From sunrise to sunset, oh Sara
You're as good as it can get, oh Sara
I keep my promise to come back someday
Oh Sara, never change.

(originally by Van Morrison)

Hey where did we go days when the rains came
Down in the hollow playin' a new game
Laughin' and runnin' hey hey skippin' and jumpin'
In the misty morning fog oh our hearts are thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl you my brown eyed girl

Whatever happened Tuesday is so slow
Goin' down the old man with a transistor radio
Standin' in the sunlight laughin' hidin' 'hind the rainbow's wall
Slippin' and a slidin' all off the waterfall with you
My brown eyed girl you my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing

Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la ti da la ti da

So hard to find my way now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day my how you have grown
Cast my memory back there Lord sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' about it
Laughin' and a runnin' behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl you my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing

Sha la la la la...

You can talk about the weather
Or the mayor's sister
You can talk about small talk
You can walk the city limits
In a matter of minutes
Talk about taking a walk
You can count the stars in the clear night sky
Or sit back and listen while the train rolls by
Hey it's a small town
They roll the sidewalks up
Come around sundown
Hey it's a small town
The place where we grew up
And still hang around
That rich young widow
Keeps talkin' to the preacher
Lord help their souls be saved
And Mr. Johnson's daughter
Flew in from Nevada
When they put him in his grave
Tommy took a summer job in Pontiac
He's still writing letters but he's not coming back
Hey it's a small town
They roll the sidewalks up
Come around sundown
Hey it's a small town
The place where we grew up
And still hang around
Hey it's a small town
They roll the sidewalks up
Come around sundown
Hey it's a small town
The place where we grew up
And still hang around
I'm easy to be found
Hey it's a small town.

Goin' down to Muscle Shoals where the swamp water rhythm flows
Live the only way I know I'm just a common man
Headed down to Texas way where the honky tonk heroes play
Gonna find that lost highway that's where I'll make a stand

Takin' the country back it's high time we face the facts
Heart and soul slippin' through the cracks we're takin' the country back
Takin' the country back we're not sure just where it's at
We've got to get it back on track we're takin' the country back
Bright lights and limousines fame and fortune I have seen
Still searchin' for that dream it's callin' me back home
Down to earth where the music's real singin' bout what the people feel
Timeless truth now that's the deal we got to pass in on y'all

Yeah takin' the country back...

Yeah takin' the country back...
Takin' the country on back
