Alan Jackson - She's Got The Rhythm (And I Got The Blues) lyrics

This old bar stools feeling higher

As a started sinking lower

The minute that she waltzed right through that door

Not long ago I held her

Like a fool I went and left her

Now she's with somebody else out on that floor

And she's got the rhythm and I got the blues

And she's showing me how much I had to lose

With her every little move she's telling me I'm over you

She's got the rhythm and I got the blues

Well that music's gettin' louder

As my heart keeps beatin' faster

As she spells out regret in perfect time

Well I thought I wanted freedom

But that ball and chain I needed

'Cause when you choose, sometimes you lose the prize

And she's got the rhythm and I got the blues

And she's showing me how much I had to lose

With her every little move she's telling me I'm over you

She's got the rhythm and I got the blues

With her every little move she's telling me I'm over you

She's got the rhythm and I got the blues
