All The Time
Cook Elizabeth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It don't do no good,
I could tell it to the movie
Out in Hollywood.
I'd tell it when I'm sober
And I'd tell it on the wine,
I'd tell it to the judge,
I love you all the time.
Chorus
I'd chase you down that mountain,
And I'd chase you up that creek,
I'd chase you startin' Sunday
Through the end of the week.
Go ask your mama and
See if she don't mind.
You've got to know by now
I love you all the time.
You've got to know by now
I love you all the time.
I don't like suspicion
Layin' in my bed.
Do you want to wander,
Or do you want to wed?
As soon as I start thinkin'
Everything is fine
You come up here askin,'
Baby, what's my sign?
Chorus 2x
You've got to know by now
I love you all the time

She’s smart, funny & talented...and as real and unaffected as they come! A real, rare gem in today’s country music.

I saw her in concert, & she was phenomenal. I love her voice, listen to Apron Strings every day.

The legendary Dwight Yoakam on backing vocals. Couldn't ask for more.

I loathe country music. I can't stand literal ballads and mundane stories. But. This. Song. Is. Stuck. In. My. Head. I also really dig how they did the video. Fantastic voice, music, and imagery. Kudos.

All right, guys. If Elizabeth were chasing you down a mountain and up a creek, how many of you would be trying very hard to get away? Show of hands! Anybody?
