City of New Orleans

[Verse 1] In a world without Willie That Whiskey River runs dry We'd still have rainstorms But there’d be no Crying Blue Eyes No Red Headed Stranger boarding that train They call the City of New Orleans In a world without Willie I just don't know what I'd sing [Chorus 1] In a world without Willie I wouldn’t be in this bar Chasing my dreams under these blue neon stars Another honky tonk angel flying too close to the ground I don't wanna how a world without Willie would sound [Verse 2] In a world without Willie Patsy Cline wouldn't be Crazy Georgia wouldn't be always on my mind Pancho and Lefty Those outlaws would just be a ballad of sweet Emmylou's In a world without Willie I just don't know what I'd do [Chorus 2] In a world without Willie I wouldn't be in this bar Making my way with the change from an old tip jar On The Road Again, the Highwaymen singing Sunday Morning Comin’ Down Oh I don’t wanna how a world without Willie would sound [Bridge] Oh this nightlife would kill me if we didn't have Willie around Oh I don’t wanna how a world without Willie would sound [Outro] Mama's Don't Let You Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys Gee Ain't It Funny How Time slips away Last Thing I Needed, the First Thing This Morning No I don’t wanna how a world without Willie would sound
