People wave when you roll by Ain't worried 'bout what they drive Just happy they ain't walkin' Don't eat out 'cause they all cook Live by the Good Book A little twang when they're talkin' Yeah that's livin', livin' in a tiny town 9 to 5 and Friday nights We're in Main Street down Yeah just livin', livin' in a tiny town Hardwood floors and liquor stores Letters burnin' out What I wouldn't give right about now To be back in my tiny town Sunday mornin', church is packed When the teachers buy beer They park 'round the back So the kids don't know they're drinkin' Football ain't a joke A can of worms and a fishin' pole Keep 'em busy on the weekends Yeah that's livin', livin' in a tiny town 9 to 5 and Friday nights We're in Main Street down Yeah just livin', livin' in a tiny town Hardwood floors and liquor stores Letters burin' out What I wouldn't give right about now To be back in my tiny town Yeah that's livin', livin' in a tiny town 9 to 5 and Friday nights We're in Main Street down Yeah just livin', livin' in a tiny town Hardwood floors and liquor stores Letters burnin' out What I wouldn't give right about now One of those days I'll roll on out Home to my tiny town

Oh how lovely cooks the meat, oh how lovely cooks the meat. When I get back home to eat, oh how lovely cooks the meat. I smell it far away and I've thought of it all day. She's cookin' the meat for me, what a meal it's going to be. Oh I've cooked a lovely meal, to my man it will appeal. When he comes in through the door, he will love me even more. Oh how lovely cooks the meat, oh how lovely cooks the meat. When I get back home to eat, oh how lovely cooks the meat. I smell it far away and I've thought of it all day. She's cookin' the meat for me, what a meal it's going to be. Oh the stove is much too hot, now the steak has a big black spot. And I hope it won't be tough, cause my man must get enough. Oh how lovely cooks the meat, oh how lovely cooks the meat. When I get back home to eat, oh how lovely cooks the meat. I'm comin' through the door, I can not wait no more. And at the table take my seat and put my teeth into that meat. Oh my dear your teeth are strong and I hope that I'm not wrong. Though the steak is burnt and tough, I am sure you'll get enough. Oh how lovely is my wife, oh how lovely is my wife. I'll keep her all my life, oh how lovely is my wife. I'll learn to cook someday. Yes, and then she'll pay her way. Between us there's no strife, she's a lovely, lovely wife. How lovely cooks the meat.

Blue as the water Bright as the sky Deep as the river I get lost in those eyes Just like the sun rising The stars in the night She shines through the dark and lights up my life Magnolias blooming in the soft southern breeze That bayou moon coming up over the trees Cypress wind singing a sweet melody My Louisiana lady next to me The sound of her laughter The way that she smiles The touch of a woman With the heart of a child When we're together Everything's all right My arms around her, wrapped up in the night Magnolias blooming in the soft southern breeze That bayou moon coming up over the trees Cypress wind singing a sweet melody My Louisiana lady next to me Magnolias blooming in the soft southern breeze That bayou moon coming up over those trees Cypress wind singing a sweet melody My Louisiana lady My Louisiana lady My Louisiana lady Next to me Whoa-oh-oh Next to me, whoa

Once I had a secret love That lived within the heart of me All too soon my secret love Became impatient to be free So I told a friendly star The way that dreamers often do Just how wonderful you are And why I'm so in love with you Now I shout it from the highest hills Even told the golden daffodils At last, my heart's an open door And my secret love's no secret anymore Now I shout it from the highest hills Even told the golden daffodils At last, my heart's an open door And my secret love's no secret anymore
