I Don't Even Know Your Name

Alan Jackson · Original Album Classics [2011]

(A.Jackson-R.Jackson-A.Loftin)



Well, I was sitting in a roadhouse down on Highway 41

You were wipin' off some ketchup on a table that was done

I knew you didn't see me, I was in a corner booth

Of course you weren't my waitress mine was missin' her front tooth

So I flagged you down for coffee, but I couldn't see a thing

But I'm in love with you baby and I don't even know your name.



Chorus:

I'm in love with you baby , I don't even know your name

I've never been too good with all those sexual games

So maybe its just better if we leave it this way

I'm in love with you baby and I don't even know your name.

So I ordered straight tequila, a little courage in a shot

And I asked you for a date and then I asked to tie knot

I got a little wasted, ya I went a little far

I finally got to hug you when you helped me to my car

The last thing I remember I heard myself say, ''I'm in love with you baby

And I don't even know your name.''



Chorus:

I'm in love with you baby , I don't even know your name

I've never been too good with all those sexual games

So maybe its just better if we leave it this way

I'm in love with you baby and I don't even know your name.

The next thing I remembered I was hearing weddin' bells

Standing by a woman in a long white lacy vail

I raised the vail she smiled at me without her left front tooth

And I said, ''Where the hell am I? And just who the hell are you?''

She said, ''I was your waitress and our last name's now the same

'Cause I'm married to you baby, and I don't even know your name.''



Yah, I'm married to a waitress, I don't even know her name

I've never been too good with all those sexual games

I never thought my love life would quite turn out this way

Hey, I'm married to a waitress and I don't even know her name...



Get down
