I woke up this morning With this feeling inside me, that I can't explain Like a weight that I've carried, been carried away, away But I know something is coming I don't know what it is But I know it's amazing, can save me my time is coming I'll find my way out Of this longest drought
Chorus: And it feels like today, I know It feels like today, I'm sure It's the one thing that's missing The one thing you're wishing The last sacred blessing And hey, feels like today Feels like today
I treated life like a picture But it's not a moment that's frozen in time It's not gonna wait till I make up my mind, at all So while this storm is breaking While there's light at the end of the tunnel I'll keep running towards it Releasing the pressure that's my heartache Soon this dam will break
Chorus: And it feels like today, I know Feels like today, I'm sure It's the one thing that's missing The one thing you're wishing The last sacred blessing and hey Feels like today Feels like today
How old do you think I am he said I said well I didn't know He said I turned sixty five about eleven months ago I was sittin' in Miami pourin' blended whiskey down When this old grey black gentleman was cleanin' up the lounge There wasn't anyone around 'cept this old man and me The guy who ran the bar was watching Ironsides on TV Uninvited he sat down and opened up his mind On old dogs and children and watermelon wine Ever had a drink of watermelon wine he asked He told me all about it though I didn't answer back Ain't but three things in this world that's worth a solitary dime But old dogs and children and watermelon wine He said women think about theyselves when menfolk ain't around And friends are hard to find when they discover that you're down He said I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime Now it's old dogs and children and watermelon wine Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes God bless little children while they're still too young to hate When he moved away I found my pen and copied down that line 'Bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine

I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta that next day As I left for my room I saw him pickin' up my change That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertime Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine

I seen the bright lights of Memphis And the Commodore Hotel And it was there beneath the streetlamp Where I met a southern belle Well she took me to the river Where she cast her spell And it was 'neath that Memphis moonlight She sang this song so well If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together Down in Dixie land Down in Dixie land We hit all the hotspots My money flowed like wine Till the lowdown southern whiskey Began to fog my mind Well I don't remember church bells Or the money I put down On the white picket fence and boardwalk At the house on the edge of town Now but boy do I remember The strain of her refrain And the nights we spent together And the way she called my name If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together Down in Dixie land Down in Dixie land It's been a year since she ran away Guess that guitar player sure could play She always liked to sing along He was always handy with a song Then one night in the lobby Of the Commodore Hotel I by chance met a bartender Who said he knew her well And as he handed me a drink He began to hum a song And all the boys there at the bar Began to sing along If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together Down in Dixie land Down in Dixie land If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb And we can walk together Down in Dixie land Down in Dixie land
