"I Love New Orleans Music"

"I Love New Orleans Music"


Well, I've never been to New Orleans
I don't even know what Creole means
But oh, I love the way they play and sing
Down in the land of the voodoo queen.

Oh, I love New Orleans music
Dixieland Sweet Jelly Roll
Oh, I love New Orleans music
I love it down to my soul.

Well, I've heard about the Vieux Carre
They dance all night and party all day
Laissez les bons tons rouler
And let the music take your cares away.

Oh, I love New Orleans music
Dixieland Sweet Jelly Roll
Oh, I love New Orleans music
I love it down to my soul.

They tell me you can hear it
Every night down along the Pontchartrain
When the band gets to cookin' and the feelin's right
It's enough to drive a man insane.

Oh, I love New Orleans music
Dixieland Sweet Jelly Roll
Oh, I love New Orleans music
I love it down to my soul.

Oh, I love New Orleans music
Dixieland Sweet Jelly Roll
Oh, I love New Orleans music
I love it down to my soul...

"I Never Expected To See You"

"I Never Expected To See You"


I never expected to see you
I figured you long since left town
I just came here to have a few beers
For a moment to turn time around.

Back to the nights I spent with you
Back to the good times we shared
I never expected to see you
But I see you every where

So I sat here and wrote you this letter
And I thought of the things I would say
Are you and that man still together
And are you glad your life turned out this way.

I've done my best to forget you
And prove to the world I don't care
I never expected to see you
But I see you everywhere.

And your eyes are as blue as the day that you left
And your face hasn't changed with time
Your hair's still as long and your skin's still as soft
At least that's how it is in my mind.

These are just words on paper
Pardon me if I stare
I never expected to see you
But I see see you every where.

I never expected to see you
But I see you everywhere...

"I Wouldn't Have Missed It For The World"

"I Wouldn't Have Missed It For The World"


Our paths may never cross again
Maybe my heart will never mend
But I'm glad for all the good times
Cause you've brought me so much sunshine
And love was the best it's ever been

I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Wouldn't have missed loving you girl
You've made my whole life worth while, with your smile
I wouldn't trade one memory
Cause you mean too much to me
Even though I lost you girl
I wouldn't have missed it for the world

They say that all good things must end
Loves comes and goes just like the wind
You've got your dreams to follow
But if I had the chance tomorrow
You know I'd do it all again

I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Wouldn't have missed loving you girl
You've made my whole life worth while, with your smile
I wouldn't trade one memory
Cause you mean too much to me
Even though I lost you girl
I wouldn't have missed it for the world

Oh I wouldn't trade one memory
Cause you mean too much to me
Even though I lost you girl
I wouldn't have missed it for the world

I wouldn't have missed it for the world
Wouldn't have missed loving you girl
You've made my whole life worth while, with your smile
I wouldn't trade one memory
Cause you mean too much to me
Even though I lost you girl
I wouldn't have missed it for the world

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"


I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

"I'll Be There (If You Ever Want Me)"

"I'll Be There (If You Ever Want Me)"


Love me, ain't you ever gonna love me?

Well, there ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I never have seen a river that's too wide
There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me
There ain't no man big enough to stop me
I'll be there if you ever want me, by your side.

Love me, ain't you ever gonna love me?
I said, I never have seen a road too rough to ride
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me, by your side.

There ain't no rope tight enough to bind me
Look for me honey, you will find me
Any old time you're ready with your charms
I'll be there ready and a waitin',
There won't be any hesitation
I'll be right there if you ever want me, by your side.

Love me, ain't you ever gonna love me?
I said, I never have seen a road too rough to ride
There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
There ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
I'll be there if you ever want me, by your side.

I'll be there if you ever want me, by your side.
I'll be there if you ever want me, by your side...

"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, oh, glory
I'll fly away
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
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, oh, glory
I'll fly away
(In the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh, glory
I'll fly away
(In the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away, oh, I'll fly away

"I'll Leave This World Loving You"

"I'll Leave This World Loving You"


Walk away, leave with my blessings
Once in a while let me hear from you
If we never meet again before my life is over
I'll leave this world loving you.

You can take everything but my memories
For they're good ones and they'll see me through
If we never meet again I'll love you forever
I'll leave this world loving you.

You were mine for a time and I'm thankful
Oh, but life will be so lonesome without you
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
I'll leave this world loving you.

If we never meet again this side of Heaven
I'll leave this world loving you...

"I'll Take Care Of You"

"I'll Take Care Of You"


I'll take care of you
Don't be sad, don't be blue
I'll never break your heart in two
I'll take care of you

I'll kiss your tears away
I'll end your lonely days
All that I'm tryin' to say
Is I'll take care of you

I want you to know that I love you so
I'm proud to tell the world you're mine
I said it before, I'll say it once more
You'll be in my heart 'til the end of time

I'll take care of you
Don't be sad, don't be blue
Just count on me your whole life through
Cause I'll take care of you

"I'm Just A Redneck At Heart"

"I'm Just A Redneck At Heart"


Lets cook!
Well, I was sittin' at the table with the big boss from New York
When I looked down and noticed that they'd given me two forks
I thought, what a waste, I only use one hand at a time
Then the waiter came and poured a Cabernet '69.
I had my heart set on a Lonestar
Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.
A pretty lady said lets dance, well, how could I refuse
I said alright, but if you don't mind the next time I'll ask you
Well, there I was with the orchestra playing "In the Mood"
I had two left feet, I said I must admit it's not what I'm used to.
I'd rather two-step to a pedal steel guitar
Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.
I'm a redneck, well, a two piece suit don't change what's deep inside
Just give me a mountain and a four-wheel drive
I'll eat the fish, you can keep the caviar
Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.
Monday morning back at work and it's the same old grind, Lord, Lord
A stack of papers on my desk and L.A. on the line
I sneak off on a coffee break and read my Field and Stream
I drink my Lipton's Cup O’ Soup while floating down a dream.
You won't find it written on my business card
But I'm just a redneck at heart.
I'm a redneck, well, a two piece suit don't change what's deep inside
Just give me a mountain and a four-wheel drive
I'll eat the fish, you can keep the caviar
Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.
I'm a redneck, well, a two piece suit don't change what's deep inside
Just give me a mountain and a four-wheel drive
I'll eat the fish, you can keep the caviar
Well, I'm just a redneck at heart.
I'm just a redneck at heart
Yes, I am!...

"I'm No Good At Goodbyes"

"I'm No Good At Goodbyes"


You don't have to tell me that it's over
For lately I can see it in your eyes
And I'll be gone when you wake up this morning
'Cause darling, I'm no good at goodbyes.

I know we had the good things while it lasted
It's sad to see a good love when it dies
But the teardrops only make it hard for leaving
And darling, I'm no good at goodbyes.

Although it breaks my heart to write this letter
I know someday that you will realize
That when it hurts so much this way is better
And darling, I'm no good at goodbyes.

Oh darling, I'm no good at goodbyes...
