City Of New Orleans (Running Time: 3:34)
Riding on the city of New Orleans
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Three conductors and twenty five sacks of mail
Their out on the southbound odyssey
The train pulls out of Kankakee
Rolls along past houses, farms and fields
Passin’ towns that have no names
Freightyards full of old grey men
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.
Singing good morning America, how are you?
Don’t you know me, I’m your native son
I’m the train they call the city of New Orleans
I’ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
Dealin’ card with the old men in the club car
Penny a point, aint’t no one keepin score
Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle
Feel the wheels rubmlin neath the floor
And the sons of the pullman porters
And the sons of the engineers
Ride their father’s magic carpets made of steel
And the days are full of restless
And the dreams are full of memories
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel
Singing good morning America, how are you?
Don’t you know me, I’m your native son
I’m the train they call the city of New Orleans
I’ll be gone five hundred miles before the day is done
Well, its twilight on the city of New Orleans
Talk about your pocketful of friends
Half way home and we’ll be there by mornin’
No tomorrow waitin’ round the bend
Singing good morning America, how are you?
Don’t you know me, I’m your native son
I’m the train they call the city of New Orleans
I’ll be gone five hundred miles before the day is done
Singing good night America, how are you?
Don’t you know me, I’m your native son
I’m the train they call the city of New Orleans
I’ll be gone five hundred miles before the day is done
Rhinestone Cowboy (Running Time: 3:33)
I’ve been walking these streets so long
Singing the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle’s the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There’s been a load of compromisin’
On the road to my horizon
But I’m gonna be where they lights are shinin’ on me…
Like a Rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a Rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don’t even know
And offers comin’ over the phone
Well I really don’t mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain
But you’re down when your riding the train that’s takin’ the long way
And I dream of the things I’ll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There’ll been a load of compromisin’
On the road to my horizon
But I’m gonna be where they lights are shinin’ on me…
Like a Rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a Rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don’t even know
And offers comin’ over the phone
Like a Rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a Rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don’t even know
And offers comin’ over the phone

Forever In Blue Jeans (Running Time: 3:30)
Money talks
But it don’t sing and dance and it don’t walk
Long as I can have you here with me
I’d much rather be
Forever in blue jeans
Honey’s sweet
But it ain’t nothin’ next to baby’s treat
And if you pardon me I’d like to say
We’ll do ok
Forever In Blue Jeans
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, by the fire all alone you and I
Nothing around but the sound of my heart and your sighs
Money talks
But it don’t sing and dance and it don’t walk

And if you pardon me I’d like to say
We’ll do ok

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, you and I all alone by the fire
Nothing around but the sound of my heart and your sighs
Money talks

Forever in blue jeans
And if you pardon me I’d like to say
We’ll do ok

Blue Bayou (Running Time: 2:35)
I feel so bad, I gotta worried mind
I’m so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on blue bayou
Savin’ nickels, savin’ dimes
workin’ till the sun don’t shine
Lookin’ forward to happier times on blue bayou
I’m going back someday, come what may on blue bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on blue bayou
All those fishin’ boats, with their sails a float
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
How happy I’d be
Oh, to see my baby again [Baby]
And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I’d be happy again on Blue Bayou
I’m going back someday, come what may on blue bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world’s mine on blue bayou
Oh that girl of mine, by my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin’ inside
I’ll never be blue, my dreams come true
On blue bayou…
California Girls (Running Time: 2:51)
Well east coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I’m down there
The midwest farmer’s daughters
Really make you feel alright
And the northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
I wish they all could be California girls
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls
The west coast coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tan
I dig a french bikini on a wild island girl
By a palm tree in the sand
I’ve been all around this great big world
And I’ve seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn’t wait to get back to the states
Back to the cutest girls in the world
I wish they all could be California girls
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls
Yeah…
I wish they all could be California girls
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls…
Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head (Running Time: 2:41)
Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like guy who’s feet are too big for his bed
Nothin’ seems to fit
Those,
Raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn’t like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those,
Raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling
But there’s one thing, I know
The blues they send to meet me, won’t defeat me
It won’t be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying’s not for me, cause
I’m never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I’m free
Nothing’s worrying me
[Music Plays]
It won’t be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying’s not for me, cause
I’m never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I’m free
Nothing’s worrying me
Nothing’s worrying me
Nothing’s worrying me…
California Dreaming (Running Time: 2:47)
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk
On a winters day
I’d be safe and warm
If I was in LA
California dreaming
On such a winters day…
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees
And I began to pray
You know the preacher likes it cold
He knows I’m gonna stay
California dreaming
On such a winters day…
[Music Plays]
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk
On a winters day
If I didn’t tell her
I could leave today
California dreaming
On such a winters day
California dreaming
On such a winters day…

La Isla Bonita (Running Time: 3:36)
Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
Just like I’d never gone, I knew the song
Young girl with eyes like the desert
It all seems like yesterday, not far away
Tropical the isand breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I want to be
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your spanish lullaby
I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, she called to me
Te dijo te amo
I prayed that the days would last
They went so fast
Tropical the isand breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I want to be
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your spanish lullaby
I wanna be where the sun warms the sky
When its time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
Where a girl loves a boy, and a boy…
Loves a girl
Tropical the isand breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I want to be
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your spanish lullaby
Tropical the isand breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I want to be
La Isla Bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your spanish lullaby
Tropical the isand breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I want to be
La Isla Bonita…
Country Roads (Running Time: 3:21)
Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowin’ like a breeze
Country roads…take me home
To the place…I belong
West Virginia…Mountain momma
Take me home…country roads
All my memories gather round her
Miner’s lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads…take me home
To the place…I belong
West Virginia…Mountain momma
Take me home…country roads
I hear a voice in the morning how she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling that I shoulda been home yesterday
Yesterday…
Country roads…take me home
To the place…I belong
West Virginia…Mountain momma
Take me home…country roads
Country roads…take me home
To the place…I belong
West Virginia…Mountain momma
Take me home…country roads
Take me home…country roads
Take me home…country roads…

New York, New York (Running Time: 3:30)
Start spreadin’ the news, I’m leavin’ today
I wanna be apart of it, New York, New York
These vagabond shoes are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it, New York, New York
I wanna wake up in a city that doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it, in old New York
If I can make it there, I can make it anywhere
It’s up to you, New York, New York
New York, New York!
I wanna wake up in a city that never sleeps
And find I’m A number one, top of the list,
king of the hill, A number one…
These little town blues are melting away
I’m gonna make a brand new start of it, in old New York
Annnnnd…If I can make it there, I’ll make it
Anywhere, it’s up to you, New York, New York, New York!
Amazing Grace [Gospel Version] (Running Time: 2:58)
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
T’was grace that taught my heart to feel
And grace, my fears relieved
How precious dear that grace appeared
The hour I first believed
Though many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
T’was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home
T’was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home
More Than Words Can Say [Duet with Regine Velasquez] (Running Time: 4:11)
David:
It’s late in China Town
The rain is coming down
And I’m all alone again
Back on my own again
Regine:
I can’t just walk away
And I can’t make you stay
So I’m all alone again
I’m back on my own again
David:

When our love came easy
David:
But now…I can’t throw it all away

Baby, I’m missing you
Regine:
Thoughts of you and me
And how we used to be
Pull like the oceans tide
Hurting me deep inside
David:
I walk untill the dawn
To search for what went wrong
I can’t just let you go
Baby, that much I know
I…’ve got to find the way
Regine:
To your heart forever
David:
Cause we come too far to walk away
Regine:
