Introducing the smash hit single that's making sure American Country Rocks We were sittin' on the front porch Saturday night Kickin' back, takin' a break (…or was it Monday?) Pickin' our guitars, layin' some licks When the whole house started to shake We looked straight up 'n saw an awesome sight There sailin' over head Streakin' through the sky like the 4th of July Came the big ball of burnin' red Well, it was movin' real fast and it flew right past Our front porch - pickin' up steam Scarin' all the chickens nearly half to death And tearin' off the tops of the trees When it came to rest just a little bit west Of our big ol' barn in the field We felt a hot shock - the whole place rocked Knockin' us back on our heels Chorus When that Hot Rock came to the Country The whole country started to roll Well it made a big blast as it flew right past And opened up a hundred foot hole But the really cool thing as we started to sing It shook us down to our soul And the music's never gonna sound the same again Since the Country's gone Rock 'n Roll Didn't take long for the sheriff to call "You boys see anything strange?" Was that a UFO? 'cause whatever it was Man, it's lightin' up our radar range So we told the truth we reported the news And this is what the radio said Just a meteor shower, at this late hour Go home and tuck yourselves in bed But just about then, climbing out of that hole Crawled a funny little green-faced man Staring at us he just smiled and said "I've come to join a Rock & Roll band Now Country's sweet and you got a great beat But you got to play it down to your soul Yeah, Country's fine but for a really hot time I came to make it Rock & Roll!" Chorus When that Hot Rock came to the Country The whole country started to roll Well it made a big blast as it flew right past And opened up a hundred foot hole But the really cool thing as we started to sing It shook us down to our soul And Country's never gonna sound the same again Now Country's gonna Rock & Roll Now Hot Rock's come to Country and Country's gone Rock & Roll Rock & Roll… (flew 5 trillion light years…) Rock & Roll… (just to Rock the country…) Rock & Roll… Country's gonna Rock and Roll...

Been out all night a walking, Babe, I haven't slept for days I guess we both know it's coming to an end I've wondered if you're coming home each time you've gone away Now, I guess you won't be coming back again. Chorus And we never meant to hurt each other or to let the loving die But Babe, we never worked to make it stay So it's time to go, now, there's only time for one more last good-bye And the love that's left when the hurting's gone away.

Just one last chance to tell you, Babe, now one more thing to say Then I'll pack my bags and head on out the door For all our ups and downs, the feelings just won't fade away And despite the pain, I couldn't love you more. Chorus And someday, when they're about to lay this tired old body down And this old road has nowhere left to go I'll still remember, you're the best this poor heart ever found I'll still love you more than you could ever know.

She gets up with the sun-up, gets the kids to school Thinks about her day ahead, repeats "The Golden Rule" But then she thinks about him, and for a little while The lady's so in love...he makes her smile. He gets up with the sun-up, another lonely day Sometimes it seems all his plans and dreams got lost along the way But then he thinks about her, and for a little while The lady lights his life...she makes him smile. Chorus And it's just another day Two hearts finding a way...forever Leading lives alone...together...day after day. She wonders as she holds him..."How'd it get this way?" She takes his hand, she asks the man, "This time can you stay?" But with the dawn he's leaving, and so she holds him tight And they're reaching out for love, again, tonight. Chorus And it's just another day Two hearts finding a way...forever Leading lives alone...together...day after day.

Wasn't I the one who was restless? Wasn't I the one who had doubts? And wasn't it me who was wild and free? Wasn't I the one who walked out? Well, look at me now on the outside Looking for a way to get in I've been all around, now I've finally found I only want your love back again. Chorus And Baby, it's been lonely without you And maybe every heart needs a home But now I know I can't live without you You're the only real love I've known Baby, won't you take me back home. Wasn't I the one who was searching? Looking for my place in the sun And didn't I say I could just walk away? Wasn't I the hard-hearted one? Now isn't it my heart that's breaking? And isn't it me who was wrong? And isn't it strange how people can change? Don't know what we've missed til it's gone. Repeat Chorus And Baby, it's been lonely without you And maybe every heart needs a home But now I know I can't live without you You're the only real love I've known Baby, won't you take me back home.

Well, I'm standing at the crossroads of the fast lanes of my mind And I'm getting tired-of leavin' that girl behind And I'd love to take her with me each and every place I go But my tongue gets tied-when I try to tell her so And I'm so tired of leavin' things this way But I ain't got words to say-the way I'm feelin'...

Now all it takes is just a few big breaks, boy, Before you know it…there you are!"

So when I stepped on stage like I was all the rage… The people saw right through the game! But as they stood to go, you know, I stopped the show…when I said "Thank you, folks, I'm glad you came!" And then I said, "Sit down I got a song to sing… You know, they say my song'll never sell… But if I never learn another thing, well, This story's mine to tell…" And so the lights went down, I turned around… Picked up my old guitar… And I sang it low…I sang it soft… And ooohh, the music touched their hearts And as the last notes died…they dried their eyes… And then I heard the cheering start… And now every time I sing my song that way… The people cheer, and I've just got to say…you know… The D-Jay called me just the other day…to say… I'm Number One on all the charts! And I've finally learned, no matter what they say If you're going to play the music…play it straight… From the heart. I took my song to the County Fair I said, "I want to be a Star!"
