Have a little love on a little honeymoon
You got a little dish and you got a little spoon
A little bitty house and a little bitty yard
A little bitty dog and a little bitty car


Well, it's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown in a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while


A little bitty baby in a little bitty gown
It'll grow up in a little bitty town
A big yellow bus and little bitty books
It all started with a little bitty look


Well, it's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown in a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while


(Yeeeaaahhhh)


You know you got a job and a little bitty check
A six pack of beer and television set
Little bitty world goes around and around
Little bit of silence 1 and a little bit of sound


A good ole boy and a pretty little girl
Start all over in a little bitty world
Little bitty plan and a little bitty dream
It's all part of a little bitty scheme 2


It's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown in a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while


It's alright to be little bitty
A little hometown in a big old city
Might as well share, might as well smile
Life goes on for a little bitty while

  当Denise把丈夫的几盘磁带递到Campbell的手里的时候,一切都改变了。Campbell把Alan Jackson带到了自己的唱片公司,就这样AlanJackson来到了乡村音乐的“圣地”纳什维尔(Nashville)。然而在Campbell的公司,Alan Jackson得到的只是更多的锻炼和提高,白天工作的他只是在晚上才参与一些唱片的录制工作。1989年,Alan Jackson终于以歌手的身份签约Arista唱片公司,这时的他已经过了而立之年。
