Verse 1:
We got a lot of politicians
Up there on Capitol Hill
Ain't it funny how they prosper
While the country stands still
Maybe I should run for office
But I just like to talk
I ain't about to run for nothing
I don't even like to walk
Chorus:
Aw that's just a lot of talkin
Some is big some is small
Just runnin' my head
I'm just talkin' that's all
Verse 2:
Modern day matrimony
Is a pre-some kind of deal
You need a preacher and a lawyer
Just to tell you how you feel
Now I believe in love and marriage
I guess you need a license, too
But all that really gives you
Is the legal right to Sue
Chorus.
Verse 3:
And then there's you and me, babe
Ain't we some kinda sight
We won't go down in history
And then again we might
But that don't really matter
Just as long as we both know
We'll still be together
At the close of the show
Chorus:
Aw that's just a lot of talkin'
It don't make a lot of sense
I ain't out to hurt nobody
It's at my own expense
Yea, it's just a lot of talkin'
Some is big, some is small
Just runnin' my head
I'm just talkin' that's all
Just talkin' that's all

Hello,it's good to see you
Just how long has it been
I've often wondered what i'd say
If we ever met again
If i'd try just being clever
Or pretend not to remember
But it's funny how you've lingered
On my mind
Chorus:
Didn't we shine
Didn't we shine
Didn't we share and care
And lay our hearts on the line
Maybe it wasn't meant to last
'Til the end of time
Oh,but while it did
Didn't we shine
I still have some blue days
That i could do without
And when i have my blue days
You're all i think about
But i've long ago forgiven you
For what you did or didn't do
Now all i can recall
Are the happy times
Chorus.
Was it my imagination
Or didn't we shine

Chorus:
I've had a life time of memories like you
I couldn't get over even if I wanted you
It's really not somethin' I don't wanna do
But I've got heartaches older than you
Verse:
I've seen that kind of look in other eyes before
This time may be different I'm not sure
Do you really understand what your young heart desires
If you're just playin' around, you're playin' with fire
Chorus.

Ramblin' about
Down through the South
I find things are a changing a lot
Especially me
It's easy to see
Montgomery's still hot,and i'm not
I stopped by today
At Hank Williams's grave
My hero from the days of my youth
Was that him or me
That i used to be
In the times when i searched for the truth
Chorus:
Hank you were my inspiration
And I was obsessed with your ways
But to tell you the truth
It's no thanks to you
That i'm still living today
Hank i still love your music
And in spite of the things i've just said
You'll always be
A hero to me
But the Hank Williams syndrome is dead
The new hats are here
And it's increasingly clear
Our day is slipping on by
They're not like me and you
But that's alright,too
They could keep the music alive
Chorus.
