In this live country music video, The Jeff Warren Johnston Band performs their classic-sounding, country love song at the popular Hill's Cafe in Austin, Texas. The mission of the JWJ Band is to please listeners longing for that "real" country music sound in the vein of traditional artists such as Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, David Allan Coe, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams Jr., Tammy Wynette, George Jones, and Johnny Cash, while simultaneously paving new country roads. This particular song is inspired by southern rock giants such as Robert Earl Keen, Neil Young, the Allman Brothers, Brooks & Dunn, Bob Dylan, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. There's nothing like a good country power ballad, especially when it features a killer fiddle solo. If you want to play in Texas, you got to have a fiddle in the band!
The JWJ Band highly recommends: The Marshall Ford Swing Band, the Atomic Duo, the Love Leighs, Jack Wilson, Warren Hood, Raina Rose, Corrina's Dreamland Band, Terri Hendrix, Guy Forsyth, Milk Drive, Sick's Pack, The Belleville Outfit, Junior Brown, Dale Watson, Robert Earl Keen, and the Bad Livers
LYRICS:
My heart is done - There's only one
I never thought I'd live to see the day
A woman like her would finally come my way
And make me realize there's more to life than havin' fun
Since I've been with her I wanna be the best man
A hip shakin' troublemakin' cowboy can
There's no one finer under the sun, there's only one
In my younger days I wasn't quite the same
Love was just a petty numbers game
Hit the trail before a true love tale ever got begun
Now I've met a lady so deservin' of more
I feel ashamed that I ever kept score
And wasted my time on the run, there's only one
Forgive me Lord for ever thinkin' otherwise
I could spend my whole life lookin' into those eyes
Funny how the moment you devote yourself
The one you once wanted jumps off the shelf
To see if your true love's heart can be stolen from
Since I've been with her I wanna be the best man
a hip shakin' troublemakin' cowboy can
There's no one finer under the sun, there's only one
Now all you other pretty ladies I don't mind a little dance
Long as you remember when it comes to romance
If my baby takes all or none there's only one
You can try and tempt me I'm not changin' my stance
And I don't give a damn how they do it in France
If my lady runs away to be a nun there's only one
You can dye your hair, get your body enhanced
You would still be lucky if I even caught a glance
'Cause you can't divert my affection from my only one
And I don't care if in between us there's a gapin' expanse
If you creepy little hipsters wanna view me askance
If the cotton-pickin' world I have to shun, there's only one
And if you cheeky little hussies try to make an advance
I can tell you right now - not a chance
My love could never be outdone, there's only one
