(Who Says) You Can't Have It All

Alan Jackson, Jim McBride

This is my favorite. Its a song that McBride and I

wrote a few years ago. I've been hanging on to it the

best I could, even though everybody's been trying to

pitch it to other people. I've always thought it was a classic country lyric

and a real moving song. I love the lines in it, and its one

of the songs that Jim and I have written together that I most proud of....

(One of Blizz's favorits tooooooo......)

A stark naked light bulb hangs over my head

There's one lonely pillow on my double bed

I've got a ceiling, a floor and four walls

Who says you can't have it all

My room's decorated with pictures of you

Your letters wallpaer this shrine to the blues

I've got precious memories at my beck and call

Who says you can't have it all

I've got everything a broken heart needs

I'm doing fine don't you worry 'bout me

'Cause I'm lord and master

Of a fool's Taj Mahal

Oh, who says you can't have it all
