"I'll Cross Over Jordan"

"I'll Cross Over Jordan"



I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
And pull a slouch hat down low on my ears
I'm yearnin' to leave this ol' town on the fly
And lose all my troubles and cares

In this day of airplane and highways
The slow way is sometimes the best
So I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
And be a good old American guest

Well the pressures of life they got to me
And they got down way deep in my soul
I'm tired of the rat-race wanna go back to the slow pace
And hear a fast freight rattle and roll

I wanna live out my days like a hobo
And take myself that long-needed rest
I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
And be a good old American guest

I wanna live off the land that I love and I've labored for
And spend a few days headed west
I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
And be a good old American guest

I wanna live off the land that I love and I've labored for...

Yes I'm longin' to ride on a freight train
And be a good old American guest

"I'll Fly Away"

"I'll Fly Away"



Some glad morning when this life is over,
I'll fly away.
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away.

I'll fly away, O Glory,
I'll fly away. (In the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,
I'll fly away.

When the shadows of this life are gone,
I'll fly away.
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
I'll fly away.

I'll fly away, O Glory,
I'll fly away. (In the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,
I'll fly away.

Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away.
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away.

I'll fly away, O Glory,
I'll fly away. (In the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,
I'll fly away.

"I'll Go Somewhere And Sing My Songs Again"

"I'll Go Somewhere And Sing My Songs Again"



A way out on the mountain near the sky
Hiding from the cold realities of life
Shaking that old road dust off my heels
I give my heart and mind a chance to heal

Then I'll go somewhere and sing my songs again
More than likely ride back to the places that I've been
In fairness to my music and my friends
I'll go somewhere and sing my songs again

A raccoon stole my minnows in the night
Thought I appreciate his need and his appetite
But unlike me he doesn't have to roam
And it's true that man can't live on bread alone

Then I'll go somewhere and sing my songs again
More than likely ride back to the places that I've been
In fairness to my music and my friends
I'll go somewhere and sing my songs again

It feels so good to have a simple wish
Where life and death is me and some old fish
Poor king sits with a cold beer in his hand
And surveys a clear blue kingdom on the sand

Then I'll go somewhere and sing my songs again
More than likely ride back to the places that I've been
In fairness to my music and my friends
I'll go somewhere and sing my songs again
I'll go somewhere and sing my songs again

"I'll Remember You"

"I'll Remember You"



I'll remember you
Long after this endless summer has gone
I'll be lonely oh so lonely
Living only to remember you

I'll remember too
Your voice as soft as the warm summer breeze
Your sweet laughter, mornings after
Ever after, I'll remember you

To your arms someday I'll return to stay
Till then I will remember too
Every bright start we made wishes upon
Love me always, promise always
Oooh, youll remember too

"I'll Say It's True"

"I'll Say It's True"



I've never been in prison
I don't know much about trains
My favorite singer cooks my breakfast
I like her fancy and I like her plain

I love bright and flashing colors
Like hot pink and Dresden blue
But if they ask me if it's true
That I still love you, I'll say it's true

I'd happy in a mansion
Or in an old rundown shotgun shack
I like the feel of silk and satin
So I don't know why I wear black

I love New York City
Bet your cowgirl boots I do
But if they ask me if it's true
That I still love you, I'll say it's true

I'll say it's true
So don't let it bother you
Just let them old tales all stay twisted
I will set 'em straight about you

I have not been in the army
I'm an Indian from years ago
When they ask if I know Waylon
I tell them, I think so

I do not plan on retiring
From anything I do
But if they ask me if it's true
That I still love you, I'll say it's true

I'll say it's true
So don't let it bother you
Just let them old tales all stay twisted
I will set 'em straight on you

I got plans to keep right on singin'
And I do know Emmylou
But if they ask me if it's true
That I still love you, I'll say it's true

"I'm A Worried Man"

"I'm A Worried Man"



(Worried man,) (Papa is a worried man.)
(Worried man,) (Papa is a worried man.)
The place I go to draw my pay,
Closed the door on me today.
Told me just to stay away,
And don't come back again.
Ahh: I told my Mama: "Baby, don't you cry.
"I'll get a job before the day go by."
I don't know where, and that is why,
I'm a worried man. (Worried.)
Worried man, a worried man.
(Worried.) (Worried.)
I'm a very worried man.
Hungry babies don't understand,
And their Papa is a worried man.
Papa is a worried man. (Play it, Johnny,) (Yeah.)
There is no way that I can see,
That I can feed my family, (That's sad.)
I don't own a money tree:
An' I don't own no land.
Now listen: I've got muscle and I've got brains.
I don't mind the sun an' the rain.
I gotta make a little change,
As I'm a worried, worried, worried man, ooh. (Worried.)
Worried man, a worried man.
(Worried.) (Worried.)
I'm a very worried man. (Worried man.)
Hungry babies don't understand,
And their Papa is a worried man.
Their Papa is a worried man. (Take it: take it.)
(That's it, (That's it, that's it, that's it.)
(Ok, do it: go Willie.)
(Worried man, worried man.)
(Papa is a worried man.)
(Worried man, worried man.)

"I'm Alright Now"

"I'm Alright Now"



I've been a rambler, I've been a gambler
I've been in trouble a time or two
I known a lot good looking women
But Lord, bless the day that I found You

I'm alright now, I'm alright now
I was ridin' on the devil's train but I got off somehow
I'm alright now, I'm alright
Gabriel, let your trumpet blow, I'm alright now

I've been demented, been discontented
I've been in jail pretty close to hell
I've been frisky on sipping whiskey, yeah
And I done a few other things that I'll never tell

But I'm alright now
I'm alright now
I'm alright now

"I'm An Easy Rider"

"I'm An Easy Rider"



I'm an easy rider, the wind is at my back
I'm an easy rider, the white line is my track
Every lane is a passin' lane and the ride away is mine
Let me on that straight-away and I'll be fairly flyin'

I'm an easy rider, my wheels love to roll
I'm an easy rider, I ride a new road every day
I'm an easy rider, I will see you on my way

I got a number down in every town in my little black book
And they understand that I'm a travelin' man
So they don't think they got hooked
I'm an easy rider, I love that gray highway

I'm an easy rider, oh Lord, I love to roll
I'm an easy rider, movin's in my soul
I know a lady down in Little Rock and I stopped for a little while
But I had to go 'cause another I know is waitin' for my smile

I'm an easy rider, I can't stay in one place

"I'm Bound For The Promised Land"

"I'm Bound For The Promised Land"



On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.

I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
Oh who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

O'er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away.

I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
Oh who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

No chilling winds or poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.

I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
Oh who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

When I shall reach that happy place,
I'll be forever blessed,
For I shall see my Father's face,
And in His bosom rest.
