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

   Alan Jackson是继Garth Brooks之后,90年代最著名的乡村音乐男歌手,他完整的继承了80年代的新传统主义运动。这位倍受歌迷喜爱的乡村男歌手谦虚而朴实,他擅长自己创作并演唱歌曲,唱法朴实自然,音乐富有深意,他一共拥有着20多首冠军单曲以及更多的前十名单曲。


  1958年10月17日,Alan Jackson出生于美国佐治亚州的一个名叫Newnan的小镇。他最早的音乐历程是从教堂开始,在他很小的时候,他就开始在教堂唱歌,回到家中,也是歌兴难收。当他十几岁的时候,他就成为当地小有名气的乡村二重唱团体的一员。在他离开学校以后,他和高中时的恋人,一位漂亮的空姐Denise结婚。迫于生计,在80年代初期,他停止了音乐生涯,成为了一名汽车销售员,而且还担任过建筑工人和铲车司机这样的工作。直到有一天,他的妻子Denise遇到了著名的乡村音乐明星Glen Campbell。
  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。

  在经过了一年的短暂休息以后,1994年和新专辑《Who I Am》一起,Alan Jackson又重新返回了音乐界,并且新专辑的销量依然没有丝毫影响,连续两周成为乡村专辑的冠军!并且从中诞生了四首冠军单曲!1995年,发片仅仅5年的Alan Jackson发行了第一张精___禩he Greatest Hits Collection》,这张收录了Alan Jackson此前所有金曲的专辑仅仅一年时间,销量就超过三百万张!随后,Alan Jackson的专辑风头越来越强劲,1996年的《Everything I Love》在乡村专辑榜上取得了四连冠的成绩!1998年的《High Mileage》则不仅在乡村专辑榜上名列榜首,而且还在Billboard 200专辑榜上取得了第四名的成绩,此前他的专辑曾经有四次达到过第五名的位置。
 
 在1999年的《Under theInfluence》和2000年的《When Somebody Loves You》两张同样成功的专辑之后,2002年的专辑《Drive》把他带向了事业的顶峰,这不仅是他的第七张乡村冠军专辑,也是他第一次站在了Billboard 200专辑榜的塔尖上!该专辑中纪念“9·11”
