GRAND OLE OPRY Long ago When I was nearly 20 I thought everything I do Would come out right Held on to my guitar Thought that I would go far Dreaming in the middle of the night Whoa That I would One day have a day I had the power Meanwhile Humming that tune in the shower My wife tells me You were singing off key Though I know I'm over the hill So they say I wouldn't know better yet anyway See my name up in lights Look who's playing tonight At The Grand Ole Opry Went into tomorrow's beer already Hope the Mrs and me Ain't gonna have a fight I really thought it would pay But I just give it away Because I see The mess we're in here now Whoa And I keep Feeling on the brink of a disaster I've been slow When my heart's beating faster You are the door And I turn the key Well I missed that Pop up, Baby, show again I nodded right out I'm dreaming again See my name up in lights Yours Truly Playing tonight At The Grand Ole Opry Oh At The Grand Ole Opry Oh -Guitar solo- Darling are you looking Darling can you hear me Darling are wondering When you're standing near me What the hell's he thinking While his eyes are twinkling You and I pulled up In a 50 foot Lincoln Mama can you hear me Mama can you see me Daddy's in the pipeline Standing from within me Somewhere long ago I thought the future would be Where it goes down In The Grand Ole Opry Mind you now I'm a bit unsteady Now I'm 47? (boy this IS an old song, I'm 61 at the time of this re-release) How'd I get old already? And I dreamed I saw My late grandpa Eddie And he said I'd be the next in the family to die Oh I ain't got a problem with that I suppose God know where it's at But I just wish I'd get the chance to shine Whoa And I've been Sitting here dreaming my life away But for every day I do One record stays I own this moment right here That you can't deny me All I wanted to do Was get inside And make 'em all happy Maybe one lovely night And it's the dream that I gave I lived it straight to the grave They say He's all the rave At The Grand Ole Opry Oh At The Grand Ole Opry Oh At The Grand Ole Opry Whoa Oh Copyright 2006 - JESUS OLDMAN & THE APOSTLES
