Must've Had a Ball

Alan Jackson · Original Album Classics [2011]

(Alan Jackson)



Well, I must've had a ball last night

I can't recall what even started our fight

I must've drank away my blues

'Cause I don't remember losin' you.

Well, I must've done the town up right

'Cause this morning my hat's just a little too tight

There ain't no way of knowin' but all the signs are showin'

I must've had a ball last night.



Well, I woke up this mornin' underneath my bed

And someone's in the kitchen sink

With cowboy boots on and nothin' else at all

Except my hat turned backway on her head.



Well, I must've had a ball last night

I can't recall what even started out fight

Well, I must've drank away my blues

'Cause I don't remember losing you.

Well, I must've done the town up right

'Cause this morning my hat's just a little too tight

There ain't no way of knowin' nut all the signs are showin'

I must've had a ball last night.



Aw.

--- Instrumental ---



Well, my picture's on the table

Somebody tore it right in two

Well, who'd do such a crazy thing?

Someone took your suitcase and your little car

And I hate it 'cause the tires are new.



Yeah, I must've had a ball last night

I can't recall what even started out fight

I must've drank away my blues

'Cause I don't remember losing you.

Well, I must've done the town up right

'Cause this morning my hat's just a little too tight

There ain't no way of knowin' but all the signs are showin'

I must've had a ball last night.



--- Instrumental ---



Well, I must've done the town up right

'Cause this morning my hat's just a little too tight

There ain't no way of knowing but all the signs are showing

I must've had a ball last night.



Well, there ain't way knowin' but all the signs are showin'

I must've had a ball last night...
