"I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)"

"I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)"



I'm confessin' that I love you . . .
Tell me, do you love me too?
I'm confessin' that I need you,
Honest I do, need you every moment!
In your eyes I read such strange things,
But your lips deny they're true . . .
Will your answer really change things,
Making me blue?

I'm afraid someday you'll leave me,
Say'n can't we still be friends?
If you go, you know you'll grieve me,
All in life on you depends . . .
Am I guessin' that you love me?
Dreamin' dreams of you in vain,
I'm confessin' that I love you,
Over again!

I'm afraid someday you'll leave me,
Say'n can't we still be friends?
If you go, you know you'll grieve me,
All in life on you depends . . .
Am I guessin' that you love me?
Dreamin' dreams of you in vain,
I'm confessin' that I love you,
Over again!

"I'm Gonna Sit Right Down (And Write Myself A Letter)"

"I'm Gonna Sit Right Down (And Write Myself A Letter)"



I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you

I'm gonna write words oh so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got 'em

I'm gonna smile and say
I hope you're feeling better
I'll close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And I'm gonna make believe it came from you

Oh yeah

I'm gonna write words oh so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got 'em

Oh yeah

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And I'm make believe it came from you
Oh yeah
I'm gonna make believe it came from you

Oh yeah

"I'm Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover"

"I'm Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover"



I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before
First is the sunshine, the second is rain
Third is the roses that bloom in the lane

There's no need explaining
The one remaining is somebody I adore
I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before

I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before
First is the sunshine, the second is rain
Third is the roses that bloom in the lane

There's no need explaining
The one remaining is somebody I adore
I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before, that I overlooked before

"I'm Movin' On"

"I'm Movin' On"



That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland, we're comin' to you
When we're movin' on, oh hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free
And I'm movin' on

Mister fireman won't you please listen to me
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
And keep movin' me on

Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on

I've told you baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow, and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on

You've switched your engine now I ain't got time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
Cause I'm movin on, you done your daddy wrong
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
'Cause I'm movin on

But someday baby when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
Keep movin' on

"I'm My Own Grandpa"

"I'm My Own Grandpa"



Now, many many years ago
When I was twenty three
I was married to a widow
Who was pretty as could be

This widow had a grown-up daughter
Had hair of red
My father fell in love with her
And soon the two were wed

This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life
My daughter was my mother
'Cause she was my father's wife

To complicate the matters
Even though it brought me joy
I soon became the father
Of a bouncing baby boy

My little baby then became
A brother-in-law to dad
And so became my uncle
Though it made me very sad

For if he was my uncle
That also made him the brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter
Who, of course, was my step-mother

I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grandpa

My father's wife then had a son
That kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild
For he was my daughter's son

My wife is now my mother's mother
And it makes me blue
Because, she is my wife
She's my grandmother too

I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grandpa

Now, if my wife is my grandmother
Then, I am her grandchild
And every time I think of it
It nearly drives me wild

For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw
As the husband of my grandmother
I am my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grandpa

I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny I know
But it really is so
I'm my own grandpa

"I'm Not Trying To Forget You"

"I'm Not Trying To Forget You"



I'm not trying to forget you anymore
I've got back into remembering all the love we had before
And I'd been trying to forget someone that my heart still adores
So I'm not trying to forget you anymore

You're just someone who brought happiness into my life
And it did not last forever, oh, but that's alright
We were always more than lovers and I'm still your friend
And if I had the chance, I'd do it all again

I'm not trying to forget you anymore
I've got back into remembering all the love we had before
And I'd been trying to forget someone that my heart still adores
So I'm not trying to forget you anymore

You're just someone who brought happiness into my life
And it did not last forever, oh, but that's alright
We were always more than lovers and I'm still your friend
And if I had the chance, I'd do it all again

So I'm not trying to forget you anymore
I got back into remembering all the love we had before
And the best day of my life is still when you walked through my door
So I'm not trying to forget you anymore
I'm not trying to forget you anymore

"I'm Not Trying To Forget You"

"I'm Not Trying To Forget You"



I'm not trying to forget you anymore
I got back into remembering all the love we shared before
And I'd been trying to forget someone who my heart still adores
So I'm not trying to forget you anymore

You were someone who brought happiness into my life
and it did not last forever but that's all right
we were always more than lovers and I'm still your friend
And if I had the chance I'd do it all again

So I'm not trying to forget you anymore
I got back into remembering all the love we had before
And the best days of my life are still when you walk through that door
so I'm not trying to forget you anymore

"I'm Sittin' On Top Of The World"
(feat. Asleep at the Wheel)

"I'm Sittin' On Top Of The World"
(feat. Asleep at the Wheel)


One summer day,
She went away.
She gone and left me,
She gone to stay.
But now she gone,
And I don't worry.
'Cause I'm sitting
On top of the world.

Worked all the summer,
And worked all the fall.
I had to take my Christmas,
In my overall.
But now she gone,
And I don't worry.
Because I'm sitting
On top of the world.

Goin' down to the
Freight yard,
Just to meet a freight train.
I'm gonna leave this town,
Well it's just got too hard.
But now she gone,
And I don't worry.
'Cause I'm sitting
On top of the world.

One summer day,
She went away.
She gone and left me,
She gone to stay.
But now she gone,
And I don't worry.
'Cause I'm sitting
On top of the world.

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"



Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Did you ever see a night so slow
As time goes draggin' by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry

"I'm Waiting Forever"

"I'm Waiting Forever"



I'm waiting forever for you
For this is my destiny
This is what I am to do

But forever ain't no time at all
It's only the time
Between telephone calls

And the love that I hear
And your voice is so clear comin' through
Keeps me waiting forever
Waiting forever for you

I'm waiting forever for you
For this is my destiny
This is what I am to do

Waiting is no waste of time
I just play out the scenes
On a stage in my mind

I love makin' love to your memory
It's all that I do
While I'm waiting forever
Waiting forever for you
