If I Ain’t Got You
[Verse 1]
Well, I've got a steady job that pays enough
A sick in hand car that don't break down much
I've got a two-tone hound dog wagging his tail
Ed McMahon promising a million in the mail
Ought to be enough to see a poor boy through
But it don't mean nothing if I ain't got you
[Verse 2]
I got every eight track that Merle ever made
Crank it up loud and dance the night away
I've got Chardonnay chillin' in the Frigidaire
A dozen ways of telling you how I care
Just out the window, there's a lover's moon
But it don't mean nothing if I ain't got you
[Chorus]
If I ain't got you
Baby, it's all in vain
If I ain't got you
Oh, it's like a honeymoon without champagne
A shiny set of rails without a train
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Well, I got a little dream about the rest of my life
Find the perfect girl and make her my wife
Start a little family and watch it grow
Visit on Sundays after we get old
Make enough love to last a whole life through
But it don't mean nothing if I ain't got you
[Chorus]
[Outro]
I've got a doublewide heart with room for two
But it don't mean nothing if I ain't got you
No, it don't mean nothing if I ain't got you
