I saw your picture in the paper Honeymoon in Jamaica, she's a lucky girl You look so grown up in your black tux From a ball cap in a pick up, seems like another world You and me and our big dreams Fallin' in love We were two kids in the backseat All fearless and young I got the first kiss and she'll get the last She's got the future and I got the past I got the class ring, she got the diamond and wedding band I got the boy and she got the man Yeah, there's the old you that I knew Fake IDs to get into those spring break bars Backwoods on a four-wheel hangin' on tight I can still feel my racin' heart And now you're cleaned up with a hair cut Nice tie and shoes If things were different I had a choice Which would I choose? I got the first kiss and she'll get the last She's got the future and I got the past I got the class ring, she got the diamond and wedding band I got the boy and she got the man I got the first kiss and she'll get the last We each got somethin', the other will never have I got the long hair, hot head She got the cool and steady hand I got the boy and she got the man I got the boy and she got the man

Well, my daddy left home when I was three And he didn't leave much to ma and me Just this old guitar and a empty bottle of booze Now, I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid But the meanest thing that he ever did Was before he left, he went and named me Sue Well, he must've thought that it was quite a joke And it got a lot of laughs from a lots of folks Seems I had to fight my whole life through Some gal would giggle and I'd get red And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head I'll tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean My fist got hard and my wits got keen Roamed from town to town to hide my shame But I made me a vow to the moon and stars I'd search the honkytonks and bars And kill that man that give me that awful name Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July And I just hit town and my throat was dry I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew At an old saloon on a street of mud There at a table, dealin' stud Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye He was big and bent and gray and old And I looked at him, and my blood ran cold And I said, "My name is Sue! How do you do? Now you gonna die!" Yeah, that's what I told him! Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes And he went down, but to my surprise Come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear But I busted a chair right across his teeth And we crashed through the wall and into the street Kickin' and a-gougin' in the mud and the blood and the beer I tell ya, I've fought tougher men But I really can't remember when He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss And he went for his gun and I pulled mine first He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile And he said, "Son This world is rough And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along So I give you that name and I said goodbye I knew you'd have to get tough or die And it's that name that helped to make you strong" Yeah, he said, "Now you just fought one hell of a fight And I know you hate me, and you got the right To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do But you oughtta thank me, before I die For the gravel in your guts and the spit in the eye 'Cause I'm the - that named you Sue" Yeah, what could I do? What could I do? I got all choked up and I threw down my gun Called him my pa, and he called me his son And I come away with a different point of view And I think about him, now and then Every time I try and every time I win And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name! "All right, thank you very much Just before I ask the Statler Brothers to come back out, we'd like to ask the Carter Family and Carl to help us out on a fine scripture. Look, we got a lot of requests to do 'Peace in the Valley'."

She won't let me help her tie her shoes "No, Daddy, I can do it myself" When she don't get her way She'll cross her arms and hold her breath She's a handful, she's a mess Diggin' in the dirt in her princess dress Goes from tiny tornado to sleepin' on my chest God bless the boy That melts the way I do When she smiles at him the first time He'll be done, oh, he'll be through Give him patience and kindness And a heart that's full of her And the sense to know just what she's worth 'Cause ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough So God bless the boy she decides to love I hope his daddy's teachin' him How to shake my hand and look me in the eye And takin' him fishin' and bustin' his butt When he ain't actin' right I hope he's in every prayer his mama prays And learns to work for every dollar he gets And has a sense of humor, gonna need it for a girl like this God bless the boy That melts the way I do When she smiles at him the first time He'll be done, oh, he'll be through Give him patience and kindness And a heart that's full of her And the sense to know just what she's worth 'Cause ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough So God bless the boy she decides to love God bless the boy That melts the way I do When she smiles at him the first time He'll be done, oh, he'll be through There ain't nobody ever gonna be good enough So God bless the boy she decides to love Oh, God bless the boy she decides to love

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
