Embed: And I'm for turning off the music; turning down the lights
'Cause I'm for nothing else but you and me tonight

The cities against the counties
The counties against the state
The state is against the government
And the highways still ain't paved
The banker's against the farmer
The farmer's against the wall
Doctors against me smoking
And the devil is against us all

But I'm for love and I'm for happiness
And I'm for "if you don't like it can't you just let it rest."
And I'm for turning off the tube; turning down the lights
'Cause I'm for nothing else but you and me tonight

The cops are against the robbers
The laws are against the cops
Justice is against the system
And some people are blowing their tops
The horse is against the automobile
The bus is against the train
The train is against the jumbo jet
And I'm against fishing in the rain

But I'm for love I'm all for happiness
And I'm for "if you don't like it can't you just let it rest."
And I'm for turning off the tube; turning down the lights
'Cause I'm for nothing else but you and me tonight

Hey, I'm for love I'm all for happiness
And I'm for not looking for something to make us mad
I'm all for turning off the music; turning down the lights
And I'm for nothing else but you and me tonightLyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

I'm for Love Lyrics

Mothers against drunk drivers
The Pope is against the pill
The union's against the workers
Working against their will
The President's against the Congress
The Senate is against the House
People are against politicians
And I'm against cats in the house

But I'm for love and I'm for happiness
And I'm for "if you don't like it can't you just let it rest."
And I'm for turning off the music; turning down the lights
'Cause I'm for nothing else but you and me tonight

The cities against the counties
The counties against the state
The state is against the government
And the highways still ain't paved
The banker's against the farmer
The farmer's against the wall
Doctors against me smoking
And the devil is against us all

But I'm for love and I'm for happiness
And I'm for "if you don't like it can't you just let it rest."
And I'm for turning off the tube; turning down the lights
'Cause I'm for nothing else but you and me tonight

The cops are against the robbers
The laws are against the cops
Justice is against the system
And some people are blowing their tops
The horse is against the automobile
The bus is against the train
The train is against the jumbo jet
And I'm against fishing in the rain

But I'm for love I'm all for happiness
And I'm for "if you don't like it can't you just let it rest."
And I'm for turning off the tube; turning down the lights
'Cause I'm for nothing else but you and me tonight

Hey, I'm for love I'm all for happiness
And I'm for not looking for something to make us mad
I'm all for turning off the music; turning down the lights
And I'm for nothing else but you and me tonight

Born on May 26, 1949 in Shreveport, Louisiana, Hank Williams Jr. nicknamed "Bocephus" by his father after opry comedian's Rod Brasfield ventriloquist dummy started his musical career at the age of eight, making appearances in tv shows singing the classical songs of his father, making his official artist debut in 1963 singing "Long Gone Lonesome Blues".
Besides the music of his father, Hank Williams, Bocephus was also influenced by Johnny Cash, Earl Scruggs, Fats Domino and Jerry Lee Lewis.
After a decade of singing the songs of his father he was often credited as a "Hank Williams Clone" having numerous hit songs. Despite the success, he fell into depression due to his "legacy" and not earned fame, in 1973 after drug and alcohol abuses he attempted suicide, after the failed intent moved to Alabama where he started playing with southern rock artists such as Waylon Jennings, Toy Caldwell, Marshall Tucker Band and Charlie Daniels making an essential turn to find it's own style.
He is probably best known today for his hit "A Country Boy Can Survive." He may also be well known today as the performer of the theme song for Monday Night Football, based on his 1984 hit, "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight". The opening theme became a classic, as much a part of the show as the football itself. In 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994, Williams' opening themes for Monday Night Football would earn him four Emmy awards.
