The moon is full and my heart is why
I love to dance oh me, oh my Gonna have more fun than a tree in a coon Tonight's the dance of the cajun noon. Chorus: Cajun moon nugget of gold River of light on the bayou You're just like rain To a love in bloom so Shine on me oh, cajun moon. Pick ups and wagons 'round the river road shack Bonfires draw in a crowd out back Step through the door and I see my Sheri That's when I see her mamas eyes on me. Chorus: Cajun moon nugget of gold River of light on the bayou You're just like rain To a love in bloom so Shine on me oh, cajun moon. Guitar, a squeeze box, a fiddle, a bow Little band a-playin' every song they know Old woman sittin' there and yellin' for more My heart is willin', but my feet - they're so sore! Chorus: Cajun moon nugget of gold River of light on the bayou You're just like rain To a love in bloom so Shine on me oh, cajun moon. Once more we're waltzin' to Jolie Blond I lean in closer and Sheri responds Her mama's smilin' as we slip from the room To sit and stare at the cajun noon. Chorus: Cajun moon nugget of gold River of light on the bayou You're just like rain To a love in bloom so Shine on me oh, cajun moon... |

Off somewhere the musics play soft and low
And another holds the one that I love so I was blind I could not see that you meant the world to me But like a fool I stood and watched you go Now Im crying my heart out over you Those blue eyes now they smile a |

Now, I don't care
If I'm not the first Love you've known, Just so I'll be the last. No, I don't care If I'm not the first One you've kissed, Darling, I'll never ask. Yesterday's gone, Love me from now on. Be true to me, Forget about the past. No, I don't care If I'm not the first Love you've known, Just so I'll be the last. Yesterday's gone, Love me from now on. Be true to me, Forget about the past. No, I don't care If I'm not the first Love you've known, Just so I'll be the last. Darling, I'll never ask... ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By SLOAN, ELIOT WALKER/PENCE, JEFFREY CURTIS/ROTH, CHARLES P <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing, Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

Well who wouldn't notice the fire in your eyes?
Or the bitter direction of impending goodbyes? I'm fallin', I'm folded, I'm welded in place At the sight of you standin' with streaks down your face You got your heart broke, go runnin' from the reason Get your heart broke, don't give up on believin' in me Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin' with my heart broke Well cryin' when you're rich is a poor if you're lonely Sheer madness prevails upon reason to yield But all is not lost, it is only mistaken A small consolation but I know just how you feel You got your heart broke, go runnin' from the reason Got your heart broke, don't give up on believin' in me Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin' with my heart broke Well nobody said it was goin' to be easy We all have our weak sides and need soft good touchin' Nobody said that it would not be worth it But human conditions can give you such You got your heart broke, go runnin' from the reason Got your heart broke, don't give up on believin' in me Heartbroke, who kept me from leavin' with my heart broke You kept me from leavin' with my heart broke With my heart broke With my heart broke You got your heart broke |

I wouldn't change a single thing about you if I could
The way you are just suits me too a tee A princess in a storybook A king upon his throne That's what we are and you belong too me. Chorus: I wouldn't change you if I could I love you as you are You're all that I would wish for If I wished upon a star An angel sent from heaven You're everything that's good You're perfect just the way you are I wouldn't change you if I could. Your eyes your lips, your tender smile I'd leave them as they are And come what may I'd never change a thing And if I were a potter And you a piece of clay The only thing I'd change would be your name. Chorus: I wouldn't change you if I could I love you as you are You're all that I would wish for If I wished upon a star An angel sent from heaven You're everything that's good You're perfect just the way you are I wouldn't change you if I could... ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By JIM EANES <i>Lyrics © CARLIN AMERICA INC</i> |

Well, these Highway 40 blues
I've walked holes in both my shoes Counted the days since I've been gone And I'd love to see the lights of home Wasted time and money too Squandered youth in search of truth But in the end I had to lose Lord above, I've paid my dues Got the Highway 40 blues The highway called when I was young Told me lies of things to come Fame and fortune lies ahead That's what the billboard lights had said Shattered dreams, my mind is numb My money's gone, stick out my thumb My eyes are filled with bitter tears Lord, I ain't been home in years Got the Highway 40 blues You know, I've rambled all around Like a rolling stone, from town to town Met pretty girls I have to say But none of them could make me stay Well, I've played the music halls and bars Had fancy clothes and big fine cars Things a country boy can't use Dixieland I sure miss you Got the Highway 40 blues |

Tonight my heart is beating low, and my head is bowed
You've been seen with my best friend on the other side of town I don't mind this waiting, don't mind this running 'round But if you're gonna cheat on me don't cheat in our home town How can I stand up to my friends and look 'em in the eye Admit the question that I know would be nothing but lies You spend all your past time, making me a clown But if you're gonna cheat on me, don't cheat in our home town Now there are no secrets in this little country town Everyone knows everyone for miles and miles around Your bright eyes and your sweet smile are driving me insane You think it's smart to break my heart and tear down my name How can I stand up to my friends and look 'em in the eye Admit the question that I know would be nothing but lies. You spend all your past time, making me a clown But if you're gonna cheat on me, don't cheatin our home town |

Honey, honey, honey won't you open that door?
This is your sweet daddy, don't you love me no more? It's cold outside, let me sleep on the floor Honey won't you open that door? I honky tonked around Dallas I got in a poker game Somebody musta been a cheatin' I lost everything but my name Well, I walked halfway to Memphis I finally got back home But I'd been better off where I was 'Cause here's where things went wrong Honey, honey, honey won't you open that door? This is your sweet daddy, don't you love me no more? It's cold outside, let me sleep on the floor Honey, won't you open that door? I went right down to see old Bob I thought he was my friend The landlord said that Bob's not here The police done hauled him in I ran right back to little honey's house I got me a rockin' chair Now, honey if you don't open that door I'm gonna rock on away from here Honey, honey, honey won't you open that door? This is your sweet daddy, don't you love me no more? It's cold outside, let me sleep on the floor Honey won't you open that door? Honey, honey, honey won't you open that door? This is your sweet daddy, don't you love me no more? It's cold outside, let me sleep on the floor Honey won't you open that door? Honey, honey Honey, honey Now, honey won't you open that door? |

Oh, the people would come from far away,
To dance all night to the break of day. When the caller would holler: "Do Si Do", They knew Uncle Pen was ready to go. Late in the evening, about sundown, High on the hill, an' above the town, Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang, You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing! Well, he played an old tune they called the "Soldier's Joy", And he played the one they called the "Boston Boy". Greatest of all was the "Jennie Lynn", To me, that's where the fiddlin' begins. Late in the evening, about sundown, High on the hill, an' above the town, Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang, You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing I'll never forget that mournful day When old Uncle Pen was called away, He hung up his fiddle and he hung up his bow, And he knew it was time for him to go. Late in the evening, about sundown, High on the hill, an' above the town, Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang, You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing Late in the evening, about sundown, High on the hill, an' above the town, Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it rang, You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing |

I may look like a city slicker
Shinin' up through his shoes Underneath I'm just a cotton picker Pickin' out a mess of blues Show me where I start Find a horse and cart I'm just a country boy Country boy at heart I may look like a bank teller Pushin' facts in a file But I'd rather be a haul collar Shooin' foot home in style Show me where I start Find a horse and cart I'm just a country boy Country boy at heart I may look like a city slicker Shinin' up through his shoes Underneath I'm just a cotton picker Pickin' out a mess of blues Show me where I start Find a horse and cart I'm just a country boy Country boy at heart |
