There is a house down in New Orleans. Down in the Vieux Carr'e. A house they call the rising sun. Where love and money are made. My father he was a gambler.
A squeaky gate a welcome mat a big shaggy dog that lives out back. And some might even call it a shack but this is a house where love lives. . The paint is peeling off of the cells the mailbox is full of bills.
As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playing. The tune about the wild side of life. As I listen to the words you are saying. It brings mem'ries when I was trusting wife.
(Dolly Parton). . Bartender won't you pour me a very strong drink. Just keep it coming till I don't have to think. And point out some cowboy that might want to dance.
As I sit here tonight the jukebox's playing. The tune about the wild side of life. As I listen to the words you are saying. It brings mem'ries when I was trusting wife.
We're well known in every honky tonk in town. Not a night goes by that we don't make the rounds. People wonder why we choose to live this way. Why don't they ever stay at home I hear them say.
Looking out at my window pane. Tears lingering with the rain. I'm so lonesome, I could cry. Just like old Hank. . Staring down on the city street. Feeling empty and incomplete.
I became a woman of the world cause I was fed up with the farm. And I thought pretty clothes and city lights. Running round both day and night could do no harm.
(Dolly Parton). . Mother's hold on to your sons and you daughters. Should Hollywood claim them, you'll hold then no more. Cause they'll become claimed to the Hollywood potters.
We're holding on with nothin' left to hold onto. . I'm so tired of holding on to nothin'. The years have shown no kindness for the hard times we've been through.
My heart beats - wild and deep. Every thought in my mind has your name on it. Hard to breathe - I can't speak. Think of your love and just how much I want it.
There are those who'd love to love me. Take me home and take care of me. Treat me just the way you never do. But I'm here on your door step. Something I can't seem to help.
We're holding on with nothin' left to hold onto. . I'm so tired of holding on to nothin'. The years have shown no kindness for the hard times we've been through.
It's you that. I run to. Whenever I need to. Darling, you console me. When trouble surrounds me. When bad times have found me. Just reach out your arms and hold me.
Come and sit by the side of your mother my boy. You have only a moment I know. And stay while I give you this parting advice. It is all that I have to bestow.
Tonight as I lay on the boxcar. Just waiting for a train to pass by. What will become of the hobo. When his time comes to die. There's a Master up yonder in heaven.

Chorus:. Oh, on a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie. Where the cotton blooms in the spring and the snow don't fly. I'm gonna rest these chillin' bones in the Southern sunshine.
Darlin' you're the highlight of my life. You're the one that makes it all worth while. You're the one that taught me how to smile. Darlin' you're the highlight of my life.
(Gary Jackson/Carl Smith) All your love lifting me higher Than I ever been lifted before So keep it up, quench my desire Then I? ll be at your side forevermore You know your love keeps on lifting me higher Higher and higher I said your love keeps on lifting me Higher and higher Now once I was downhearted This little loneliness my foes and friend But when you came, he soon departed And he never showed his face again You know your love keeps on lifting me higher Higher and higher I said your love keeps on lifting me Higher and higher I? m so glad I finally found you Yes that one in a million girl And now with my loving arms around you I can stand up and face the world You know your love keeps on lifting me higher Higher and higher I said your love keeps on lifting me Higher and higher.
