Track 1 - City Of New Orleans - Run 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

 Track 2 - Rhinestone Cowboy - Run 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

 Track 4 - Forever In Blue Jeans - Run 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
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, you and I all alone by the fire
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
Long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans

And if you pardon me I'd like to say
We'll do ok
Forever In Blue Jeans

Long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans...

 Track 5 - Blue Bayou - Run 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...

 Track 6 - California Girls - Run 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...

 Track 7 - Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head - Run 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...

 Track 8 - California Dreaming - Run 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...

 Track 9 - These Boots Are Made For Walking [Duet with Marilyn Martin] - Run Time: 2:52

David:
You keep saying you got something for me

Marilyn:
Something you call love, but confess

David:
You've been messing where you shouldn't been messing

Marilyn:
And someone else is getting all your best

David:
These boots are made for walkin'

Marilyn:
And that's just what they'll do

Together:
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

David:
You keep lying when you oughta be truthin'

Marilyn:
You keep loosing when you oughta not bet

David:
You keep saming when you oughta be changin'
What's right is right,

Marilyn:
But you ain't been right yet

David:
These boots are made for walkin'

Marilyn:
And that's just what they'll do

Together:
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

[Music Plays]

David:
You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing

Marilyn:
You keep thinking that you'll never get burned

David:
But I just found me a brand new batch of matches
And what she knows

Marilyn:
You ain't had time to learn

Marilyn:
These boots are made for walkin'

David:
And that's just what they'll do

Together:
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

David:
Are ya ready boots?

Marilyn:

David:
Hey wait, come back here...

Marilyn:

David:
We are not done talking here, hey where you going?

Marilyn:

David:

 Track 10 - La Isla Bonita - Run 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...

 Track 11 - Country Roads - Run 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...

 Track 12 - Love Me Tender - Run Time: 3:05

Love me tender
Love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darlin', I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me long
Take me to your heart
For its there that I belong
I will never part

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darlin', I love you
And I always will

Love me tender, love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I'll be yours through all the years
Till the end of time

Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darlin', I love you
And I always will

For my darlin', I love you
And I always will

 Track 13 - New York, New York - Run 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!

 Track 14 - Amazing Grace [Gospel Version] - Run 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

 Track 15 - More Than Words Can Say [Duet with Regine Velasquez] - Run Time: 4:11

   TRACK 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:
I...long for yesterday

Regine:
When our love came easy

David:
But now...I can’t throw it all away

Regine:
Cause I need you baby
More than words can say

Together:
More than words can say!
Can’t you hear me when...I pray
In the pouring rain
Baby, I’m missing you
More than words can say!
Can’t you hear me when...I pray
In the pouring rain
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:
I still love you darling

Together:
More than words can say...

More than words can say!
Can’t you hear me when...I pray
In the pouring rain
Baby, I’m missing you
More than words can say!
Can’t you hear me when...I pray
In the pouring rain
Baby, I’m missing you

[Baby, I’m missing you]

More than words can say!
Can’t you hear me when...I pray
In the pouring rain
Baby, I’m missing you...[Missing You]
More than words can say!
Can’t you hear me when...I pray
In the pouring rain
Baby, I’m missing you
