This One's Gonna Hurt You - Lyrics

Me & Hank & Jumpin' Jack Flash

Last night I dreamed I went to Hillbilly Heaven, oh what a beautiful sight
St. Peter come up to me and he said "now Marty who do you want to see"
So I began to think
I said "why don't you call up old Hank Williams and see if he's free"
'Cause Hank saw the world from a Cadillac
And he carried them Lovesick Blues right on his back
Ah yeah

Sure as I was dreaming, sure as I was born
Around my neck came this long skinny arm
And he said, "Howdy Hoss, my name is Hank, now what brings you here"
So I began to think

I said "Hank brother, you've seen it all.
You've seen 'em come and go and you've seen 'em rise and fall
And right now country music's got more singers than I believe I've ever seen
So many people got to follow out their dream"
"But I feel different," I said, "'cause I'm a natural born cat
I'm country to the bone, but I don't wear no hat"
Oh no, two three

Said "I started with Lester back in '72
All I wanted to be was a little different like him and you"
He said "whoa now, it just takes a little longer to make it if you're different, I guess
But you just sing what's in your heart and God's gonna do the rest
Just be what you are at all times and just tell the folks out there the truth
And that ain't gonna cost you a dime
But if you plan to be different son, you're just rolling the dice
And you know you ain't the first one to pay that price
'Cause there was me and Elvis and there was Bocephus too
There was Waylon and Willie and there was Bill Monroe
And I guess you know about ole Johnny Cash
And I think what the world needs right now is a Jumpin' Jack Flash"

Up in Hillbilly Heaven I saw Keith Whitley, I saw Patsy Cline
I saw Reba McEntire's band, they were all friends of mine
And I began to tremble and I began look
I knew I was dreaming but I just couldn't wake up
Then out of nowhere came this long Cadillac
The driver said "Now come on there Hank we gotta take you back
Thirty minutes before your next show
We're running behind so we gotta go"
He said "Marty, I tell you what you do.
You just go on back down there and you make us proud
And remember wherever you go
There's a little hillbilly in every crowd"
And he got in that old car and he drove off slow
But right here is what he said before he shut that door

High On A Mountain Top

High on a mountain top, standing all alone
Wondering where the years of my life have flown
High on a mountaintop, wind blowing free
Thinking about the days that used to be

Well, I wonder if you ever think of me
Or has time erased your memory
As I listen to the breeze whisper gently through the trees
I wonder if you ever think of me

High on a mountain top, standing all alone
Wondering where the years of my life have flown
High on a mountaintop, wind blowing free
Thinking about the days that used to beHigh on a mountain top, standing all alone
Wondering where the years of my life have flown
High on a mountaintop, wind blowing free
Thinking about the days that used to be

High on a mountain top
Thinking about the days that used to be
And I wonder if you ever think of me

This One's Gonna Hurt You

There's a bottle on the table, to help me understand
How love can go so wrong between a woman and a man
But just beyond the door, here's what you will find
Girl this one's gonna hurt you for a long, long time

A long, long time is forever
And will I get over you, probably never
You can't walk away from true love
And leave your feelings all behind
'Cause this one's gonna hurt you for a long, long time

A long, long time is forever
And will I get over you, probably never
You can't walk away from true love
And leave your feelings all behind
'Cause this one's gonna hurt you for a long, long time

You can't walk away from true love
Leave your feelings all behind
Ah this one's gonna hurt you for a long, long time

Down Home

I got a pocket full of money, got the top rolled down
Yeah the hi-fi's pumping, tell ya where I'm bound
(Down home) they got some pretty little women
(Down home)make you glad you're alive
(Down home) they're just as sweet as honey
(Down home) from the honey bee hive

I'm gonna keep on a rollin', Till I see that sign
Just as quick as a pistol, I'll cross that county line
(Down home) there's a hound dog howlin'
(Down home) 'neath the front porch swing
(Down home) makes a poor boy feel
(Down home) like a hillbilly king

This old Coupe de Ville knows where to go
Just a mile or two down that old dirt road
There's a rusted truck and a shotgun shack
It ain't much but ya'll come back

I got a sweet sugar momma, yeah the best I've seen
Well she ain't high tone boy, she's a dixie queen
(Down home) they got the catfish jumpin'
(Down home) 'neath the southern sun
(Down home) they'll be rockin' in the barn yard
(Down home) yeah we'll have some fun
(Down home) gonna pick a bale of cotton
(Down home) gonna cut some cane
(Down home) gonna feel the heat
(Down home) gonna smell the rain
(Down home) they got the go-go dancers
(Down home) in them honky tonk bars
(Down home) they got the jukebox a jumpin'
(Down home) they got liquor in the jar

Just Between You And Me

But just between you and me
I've got my doubts about it
'Cause just between you and me
You're too much to forget

So I've lost the only girl I've ever loved
And so I've never felt so low, so what
I'll just tell myself each time I want to cry
That someday time will dry the teardrops from my eyes

But just between you and me
I'm not so sure about it
'Cause just between you and me
You're too much to forget
You're too much to forget

Hey Baby

You won't ever have to be alone again
I will always love you till the very end
Hey baby, don't be blue
I will always take good care of you

You won't ever have to be alone again
I will always love you till the very end
Hey baby, don't you cry
I'm gonna wipe those little teardrops dry

Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby

Doin' My Time

When that old judge, looked down and smiled
Said I'll put you up that river for a while Lord Lord
I've gotta do my time, I've gotta do my time
With an achin' heart and a worried mind

You can hear my hammer, you can hear my song
Gonna swing it like John Henry all day long, Lord Lord
I gotta do my time, I gotta my time
With an achin' heart and a worried mind

Well now it won't be long, just a few more days
I'll settle down and quit my rowdy ways, Lord Lord
With that gal of mine, yeah with that gal of mine
She's a waiting for me, while I've done my time

Now That's Country

Got me a pick-up, I got a piece of nothing farm
Shotgun and a hound dog, I got a tractor in the barn
Rocking chair on my front porch and a jug of homemade wine
When I ain't makin' music, that's how I spend my time

Well, that's country, I was born, yes, a country child
Now that's country, but baby that's my style

You know every man and woman need a place to lay their burdens down
Ya'll can do it in the city but it ain't the same in the big ole town

Now let me just talk to ya'll for one time
Have you ever laid in a field of clover late into the night
And watched a shooting star from heaven till the moon fades out of sight
Get up and go visiting that's just what neighbors do
I'm proud to be from the country, now how about you

Well that's country, I was raised on that Mississippi mile
Now that's country, baby that's my style
Well, that's country, yes, I was born a country child
Now that's country, and baby, that's my style

The King of Dixie

We're talking Tupelo was about a fast train
Headed toward the world like a mad hurricane
When he finally hit the ground, he tore us all apart
He was born to be a light in the dark

Now miles from Mississippi down some distant shore
He's blazed a trail of glory and a whole lot more
Like some shooting star we've never seen before
I'm talking 'bout the one that opened up the door

The king of Dixie, he's still around
The king of Dixie, in every town
The king of Dixie no he ain't gone
The king of Dixie's still on the throne
The king of Dixie tried and true
Still rockin' away for me and you
The king of Dixie is you know who
I said long live the king of Dixie

There was a man from Montgomery, lonesome to the bone
He only stayed a while, this world was not his home
It seemed like on behalf of broken hearts he's sing
And with every word he was calling my name

Now he's from Alabama where he first saw the light
There ain't a heart in heaven gonna cheat on him tonight
I can see him now, decked out in white
Sending down the word that everything's all right

The king of Dixie, he's still around
The king of Dixie, in every town
The king of Dixie, no he ain't gone
The king of Dixie's still on the throne
The king of Dixie, tried and true
Still rockin' away for me and you
The king of Dixie is you know who
I said long live the king of Dixie

The king of Dixie, he's still around
The king of Dixie, in every town
The king of Dixie, no he ain't gone
The king of Dixie's still on the throne
The king of Dixie, tried and true
Still rockin' away for me and you
The king of Dixie is you know who
I said long live the king of Dixie

Honky Tonk Crowd

When I was a baby, my sweet momma told me
Go around this world and see all that you can see
Find a good woman, get a job and settle down
But I could not stay away from the lights of town
I had to go where the music is loud
I fell in with the honky tonk crowd

So let the jukebox play, let's dance all night
When you get down on the floor you know you've got it right
Where there's a neon light, that's where I'll be found
Well, I feel right at home with the honky tonk crowd

There's was debutante in Dallas, that nearly blew my mind
She was raised on caviar and real fine wine
She didn't like hillbilly music and that was more than I could take
I left that lovely little cowgirl waiting in the Lonestar state
'Cause I had to go where the music is loud
I'm right at home with the honky tonk crowd

So let the jukebox play, let's dance all night
When you get down on the floor you know you've got it right
Where there's a neon light, that's where I'll be found
Well, I feel right at home with the honky tonk crowd
Where there's a neon light, that's where I'll be found
'Cause I feel right at home with the honky tonk crowd
