Oh u've got silver rainbow eyesOh u've got shinning smileYou were right and I was wrong u were right and I was wrongTo the sunny land of the summerTo the icy polar starI was waiting for you
Oh I follow you in the lightOh I follow you in the darkYou were right and I was wrong u were right and I was wrongTo the sunny land of the summerTo the icy polar starI was waiting for you

ItalianoDivent' un uomo fatto,
Lei torna ragazza,
ma quanto sto bene,
quando quando
ma quanto sto bene,
quà , tra le braccia di tua madre!

Ha la pudore d'una bimba,
E la dolcezza d'una mamma,
l'appettito di una leonessa,
e l'esperienza d'una regina, ah...

Le pesche non mi piacciono se sono verdi,
Le pere, non mi piacciono se sono dure,
le donne sono com' i frutti,
migliore se sono mature.
Lei sa placar' il mio ardore
Posso gli aprir' il mio cuore,
Dice che io la faccio ridere
ma non mi parla di matrimonio!

Français

Je deviens un homme mûr
Elle redevient jeune fille
Mais qu’est-ce que je me sens bien

Quand, quand
Qu'est-ce que je suis bien
Là, dans les bras de ta mère

Elle a la pudeur d'une enfant
Et la douceur d'une mère
L'appétit d'une lionne
Et l'expérience d'une reine, ah...

Les pêches ne me plaisent pas si elles sont vertes
Les poires ne me plaisent pas si elles sont dures
Les femmes sont comme les fruits
Meilleures quand elles sont mûres

Elle sait calmer mon ardeur
Je peux lui ouvrir mon cœur
Elle dit que je la fais rire
Mais ne parle pas de mariage.


English

I am becoming a mature man
She is becoming a young girl
How good I feel
When when
How good I feel
Here in your mother’s arms

She has a child’s modesty
And a sweetness of a mother
The appetite of a lioness
And the experience of a queen, ah…

I don’t like peaches when they’re green
I don’t like pears when they’re hard
Women are like fruit
Better when they are ripe

She knows how to cool my ardour
I can open my heart to her
She says that I make her laugh
But don’t talk to me about marriage

IDLE HOURVERSE
There’s a place down the street

Where my friends congregate
And when we sit on those bar stools
We’re not alone
10 am the lights are on
Beer’s cold, the whiskey’s strong
And we’re drowning those memories
One by one
CHORUS
You can meet me at the idle hour
Where the juke box plays all those country songs
If you’re tryin’ to hang on

To a love that’s dead and gone
With too many reasons not to go back home

VERSE
The neon lights are bright
Even tho it’s past midnight
And the band’s packed up and moved on
Stare at the clock on the wall
Bartender says last call
And I start missin’ her most of all

CHORUS
So, you can meet me at the idle hour
Where the juke box plays all those country songs
So if you’re tryin’ to hang on
To a love that’s dead and gone
With too many reasons not to go back home
Too many reasons not to go back home

SOUTH CAROLINA WALTZ
VERSEIt was early spring
Cherry blossoms were bloomin’
And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky

Sally Ann took the hand

Of Sir William Lewis
And fell in love as they danced to
The South Carolina Waltz

VERSE
He was a sailor
Who came from South Hampton
From a ship building family, though we never pried
Sally Ann had her man, Sir William Lewis
And they danced and they swayed to the South Carolina Waltz

CHORUS
We always knew

That it was forever
Like the dawn of the rest of their lives
From that night on, they were always together
Side By Side

VERSE
It was late in the fall
When winter came callin’
And the sun sinkin’ low in the palmetto sky
Sally Ann took the hand of sir William Lewis
And they sailed off together for a late sunset ride
But the autumn winds can be unforgiving
And from out of nowhere their boat capsized
And Sally Ann grabbed the hand of Sir William Lewis
And we found them together on the shore where they died

Short Instrumental break

Now it’s early spring
Cherry blossoms are bloomin’
And the sun settin’ low in the palmetto sky

Sally Ann and her man
Are restin’ in peace

While the wind sings and dances to

The South Carolina Waltz
The South Carolina Waltz

GOODTIME HONKY TONK
VERSE
Just a little past the county line
Where the kudzu’s growin’ up the cross road sign

Sun’s sinkin’ thru the pine
You’ll find the goodtime honky tonk

VERSE
Just one happy family
Blowin’ off steam at the end of the week
Yes sir, no ma’am, thank you, please
At the goodtime honky tonk

CHORUS
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a cold one
Lose your troubles
An’ have some fun
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a partner
Try to hang on
To an old George Strait song
At the goodtime Honky Tonk

VERSE
Jukebox sittin’ on the old front porch
Punch those numbers and hit the floor
We all know what we’re here for

At the goodtime Honky Tonk

VERSE
None of that new country breed
Just Hank and Lefty and some Brenda Lee
Listen to Willie puff some weed
At the goodtime Honky Tonk


CHORUS
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a cold one
Lose your troubles
An’ have some fun
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a partner
Try to hang on
To an old George Strait song
At the goodtime Honky Tonk

INSTRUMENTAL

REPEAT CHORUS
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a cold one
Lose your troubles
An’ have some fun
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
Goodtime Honky Tonk
Grab yourself a partner
Try to hang on
To an old George Strait song
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
At the goodtime Honky Tonk
Heyeeeee
