Introduction
There’s something about Alan Jackson’s music that just feels like home—warm, familiar, and always speaking straight to the heart. Right In The Palm Of Your Hand is no exception. It’s one of those songs that carries a bittersweet blend of nostalgia, love, and life’s “what if” moments, wrapped in Jackson’s signature blend of traditional country and smooth storytelling.
At its core, this song is about love that was once so close—right within reach—but somehow slipped away. It paints the picture of someone looking back on a relationship that could have been, reflecting on how easily love can be lost when we don’t cherish it enough. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, striking a chord with anyone who has ever let something precious slip through their fingers.
Alan Jackson has always had a way of making emotions feel real, and this song is no different. His delivery is filled with longing, and the melody carries that perfect balance of wistfulness and hope. It’s not just a song about regret—it’s a reminder to appreciate what we have before it’s gone.
For country music lovers, Right In The Palm Of Your Hand is a perfect example of why Alan Jackson remains one of the most beloved voices in the genre. It’s a song that lingers long after it ends, making you reflect on the love you’ve held—and maybe the love you’ve lost.
Have you ever had a love that felt like it was right in your hands, only to watch it slip away? That’s the beauty of country music—it tells our stories, even when we can’t find the words ourselves.

Lyrics
A willing woman
A willing man
A five room house
And a wedding band
Believers believers
Once it begins
You know it don’t take long
Til like two people in a heartbreak song
I wonder…….. I wonder
well Ain’t it just like a woman
And ain’t it just like a man
Chasin the rainbow and looking for love
When it’s right in the palm of your hand
When it’s right in the palm of your hand
Can’t take back those things we said
So we watch it pass in seperate beds
Changing… were changing
too little love and too much pride
You won’t give in and neither will I
like children … children
Well ain’t it just like a woman
And ain’t it just like a man
Chasing the rainbow and looking for love
When it’s right in the palm of your hand
When it’s right in the palm of your hand
Feet on the floor holding my head
Sitting alone on the side of the bed
ive been thinking … thinking
Trying to find where we went wrong
I just turned around and you were gone
it’s over… it’s over
Well ain’t it just like a woman
And ain’t it just like a man
Chasing the rainbow and looking for love
When it’s right in the palm of your hand
and Ain’t it just like a woman
And ain’t it just like a man
Chasing the rainbow and looking for love
When it’s right in the palm of your hand
When it’s right in the palm of your hand
