Alan Jackson, né le 15 Décembre 1958 à Newman (USA),

 est un des chanteurs Country les plus (re)connus aux Etats-Unis ainsi que dans le monde ..

Il a démarré sa carrière solo en 1989 . Et depuis, sa discographie se compose de 18 albums,

dont le dernier en date "Good Time" sorti cette année remporte déjà un franc succès grâce, notamment au titre

du même nom, "Good Time" ... 

Les line dancers apprécient tout autant cette chanson car Alan Jackson leur rend une sorte d'hommage dans son clip en invitant de jeunes américains pratiquant une line dance chorégraphiée par Jenny Cain

(les pas sont dispo en français par ICI )

Bref le clip est cool, la chanson, perso, moi j'adore et la danse est très sympa aussi ...

Reste plus qu'à lire les paroles pour essayer d'en savoir un peu plus sur une chanson déjà mythique !!

GOOD TIME                                                                                                                                        BON TEMPS

Work, work all week long                                                                                             Travail, travail toute la semaine
Punchin' that clock from dusk till dawn                                              Coups d'poing dans ce réveil du soir au matin
Countin' the days till Friday night                                                                Comptant les jours jusqu'à vendredi soir
That's when all the conditions are rght                                                                   Toutes les conditions sont bonnes
For a good time                                                                                                                                  Pour du bon temps
I need a good time                                                                                                                    J'ai besoin de bon temps

Yea, I've been workin' all week                                                                               Oui, j'ai travaillé toute la semaine
And I'm tired and I don't wanna sleep                                                   Et je suis fatigué mais je ne veux pas dormir

I wanna have fun                                                                                                                                 Je veux m'amuser
It's time for a good time                                                                                     C'est l'heure de prendre du bon temps

I cashed my check, cleaned my truc                                                         J'ai encaissé mon chèque, lavé mon camion
Put on my hat, forgot about work                                                                         Mis mon chapeau et oublié le boulot
Sun goin' down, head across town                                                                     Le soleil se couche, je traverse la ville
Pick up my baby and turn it around                                      Je prend mon "bébé" (sa copine) et l'emmène avec moi
Good time,                                                                                                                                                    Du bon temps
Aahh, I need a good time                                                                                                Aahh, j'ai besoin de bon temps

I've been workin' all week                                                                                               J'ai travaillé toute la semaine
And I'm tired and I don't wanna sleep                                                   Et je suis fatigué mais je ne veux pas dormir
I wanna have fun                                                                                                                                 Je veux m'amuser
Time for a good time ... HEY!                                                                           C'est l'heure de prendre du bon temps

Pig in the ground, beer on ice                                                      Les cochons dans la terre, les glaçons dans la bière
Just like ole Hank taught us about                                                           Juste comme le vieux Hank nous le raconte
Singin' along, Bocephus songs                          Chantant les chansons de ce Bocephus (surnom de Hank Williams)
Rowdy friends, all night long                                                                                    Avec les amis voyous, toute la nuit
