Just Playin' Possum

Alan Jackson, Jim McBride, Gary Overton

I parked my car 'round back

I've got the shades pulled down

I told everbody including 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

Listening to George Jones

(Chorus)

Just playin' possum

Laying down

I've got a houndred watts of hurtin'

Coming through the speakers of my stereo

Don't want to see nobody

Nowhere I want to go

I'm just playin' possum

Laying down

I'm gonna hide my heart

And be a love recluse

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

(Chours)
