Just Playin' Possum

(Jim McBride - Alan Jackson - Gary Overton)

Alan Jackson & George Jones



I parked my car 'round back

I've got the shades pulled down

I told everybody includin' my mama

I was leaving town.



But I've been right here

Since you've been gone

Belly-up at the bottom of a bottle

Listenin' to George Jones.



And just playin' possum

Layin' low

I've got a hundred watts of hurtin'

Comin' through the speakers of my stereo

Don't wanna see nobody

Nowhere I want to go

Just playin' possum

Layin' low.



--- Instrumental ---



I'm gonna hide my heart

And be a love recluse

Oh, I could cry on my best friend's shoulder

But there ain't no use.



I need an expert on

The pain I'm going through

So I'll keep George on the old turntable

'Til I'm over you.



And just playin' possum

Layin' low

I've got hundred watts of hurtin'

Comin' through the speakers of my stereo

Don't want to see nobody

Nowhere I want to go

Just playin' possum

And layin' low.



He's playin' possum

And he's layin' low...
