Lyrics: Just Playin' Possum

(Jim McBride - Alan Jackson - Gary Overton)
Alan Jackson & George Jones

I parked my car 'round back
I've got the shades pulled down
I told everybody includin' 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
Listenin' to George Jones.

And just playin' possum
Layin' low
I've got a hundred watts of hurtin'
Comin' through the speakers of my stereo
Don't wanna see nobody
Nowhere I want to go
Just playin' possum
Layin' low.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm gonna hide my heart
And be a love recluse
Oh, 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.

And just playin' possum
Layin' low
I've got hundred watts of hurtin'
Comin' through the speakers of my stereo
Don't want to see nobody
Nowhere I want to go
Just playin' possum
And layin' low.

He's playin' possum
And he's layin' low...
