I Still Like Bologna
Alan Jackson · Good Time [2008]
Long distance internet relations
The world's a little faster every day
I know it's all well and good
And I don't embrace it like I should
But I wouldn't wanna go back even if I could.
Chorus:
But I still like balogna on white bread
Now and then
And the sound of a whippoorwill
Down a country road
The grass between my toes
And that sunset sinking low
And a good woman's love to hold me close.
I like my 50 inch HD plasma
Feels like they just reach out and grab you
500 channels at my command
I finally gave in and got a cell phone
That I hardly ever seem to turn on
I guess I never had that much to say.
Chorus:
But I still like balogna on white bread
Now and then
And the sound of a whippoorwill
Down a country road
The grass between my toes
And that sunset sinking low
And a good woman's love to hold me close.
--- Instrumental ---
Aha
I got a laptop that sits on a desk
I don't use it much except to check on
Some ole car from yesterday
I kinda like that music thang
You just download 'em
And you can save about every song
That's ever been made.
Chorus:
But I still like balogna on white bread
Now and then
And the sound of a chevelle headin'
Down a country road
The grass between my toes
And that sunset sinking low
And a good woman's love to hold me close.
Well, I guess what I've been trying to say
This digital world is okay
It makes life better in a lot of ways
But it can't make the smell of spring
Or sunshine or lots of little things
We take for granted every day.
Chorus:
But I still like balogna on white bread
Now and then
And the sound of a whippoorwill
Down a country road
The grass between my toes
And that sunset sinking low
And a good woman's love to hold me close.
Yeah, balogna, a woman's love
And a good cell phone
