Time To Go lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

The curtain goes up
As the lights go dim
The opening act takes the stage
The applause is polite,
Tthey’re not waiting for him
Everybody knows he’s at least twice their age

Took him 2 days to get there
His eyes tired and red
His gear in the back of his way

His car is his dressing room
Office and bed
But at least he got him up here

Sings from his heart
And keeps from cryin
He knows it’s a young man’s game
He’s makin the reelin while the crowd’s all dyin to hear
The headliner’s name

And as he continues to play
He can hear the audience say

[Chorus:]
It’s time to go
This ain’t no variety show
We’re sure you was someone
Someone with note
But buddy, it’s time to go

As he packs his things he can hear from the winds
The audience singing along
They know every word
They know every line
And he wonders will he get one

As the stage door closes, goodbye
He sings what’s been on his mind

[Chorus:]
It’s time to go
This ain’t no variety show
We’re sure you was someone
Someone with note
But buddy, it’s time to go

Oh buddy, it’s time to go

You Love Me lyrics -

In your world,
I'm nothing
Just a raindrop in your sky,
But you make me feel like I'm everything
And I'm always gonna wonder why.

And you listen to me (and you listen to me)
And you hold me when I cry (and you hold me when I cry)
And you never say I'm complaining
When I feel like I just wanna die

You love me
You love me
Why? I'll never know (oh oh)
You love me
You love me
Please, don't ever go

You can see, the right side (and you see the right side)
And I always think I'm wrong (when I always think I'm wrong)
What makes you keep hanging on to me? (and you keep hanging on)
What makes you keep on moving strong? (and you keep moving strong)

You love me
You love me
Why? I'll never know (oh oh)
You love me
You love me
Please, don't ever go

You, you make me whole
You're the part of me that makes me wanna sing
You, you are my soul
You're the reason I can do anything

You love me
You love me
Why? I'll never know (oh oh)
You love me
You love me
Please, don't ever go

Yeah, you love me
You love me
Why? I'll never know (ohhh)
You love me
(Ohh) You love me
Please, don't ever go
Mmm please, don't ever go

"Smokey Mary" (2013)

Smokey Mary lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

[Verse:]
She bought in the popper on her knees
And she rode to the bank said the embassy
A dime forever all the babies they ride for free
She told 'em she was looking for a boy
They left her in Chicago, Illinois
She forgot all about him when she found up river joy

[Chorus:]
Smokey Mary
That came into the park to train
Smokey Mary
Looking for the chu chu train

[Verse:]
It was a very sunny sunny afternoon
Jelly rose band was playing her favorite tune
Have a man named Jim and they dance until the moon
He left her at the station in the pouring rain
Then she asked him if she'd ever see him again
He said she could find him on the first of after maine

[Chorus:]
Smokey Mary
That came into the park to train
Smokey Mary
Looking for the chu chu train

[Bridge x2:]
Sometimes the dude gets the chuck in her head
Still smells of smoking on rose
With the ring on her finger when she lies on her bed
Still have her dance on her toes

He left her at the station in the pouring rain
Then she asked him if she'd ever see him again
He said she could find him on the first of after maine

[Chorus x3:]
Smokey Mary
That came into the park to train
Smokey Mary
Looking for the chu chu train

Hurricane lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

[Chorus:]
Hurricane, hurricane
Can't remember memory lane
Asked you once and I tell you the same
Hurricane, hurricane

[Verse:]
West end boulevard
Times were best when times were hard
Nick to big booted in my yard
Hurricane

We slept foot to head
Only one way to fit in bed
Got syrup thought I was dead
Hurricane

[Chorus x2:]
Hurricane, hurricane
Can't remember memory lane
Asked you once and I tell you the same
Hurricane, hurricane

[Verse:]
I thought it was a dream
Walking on still in my brain
You are the one that made me insane
Hurricane

Quarter over loop
Makes me hear pop zigga boo
Pop and fats and zally too
Hurricane

[Chorus:]
Hurricane, hurricane
Can't remember memory lane
Asked you once and I tell you the same
Hurricane, hurricane

Cuddina Done It lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

[Verse:]
All have fell, chips were down
Deck was stacked against me
Ship has sunk I throw them crown
Life had up and fenced me

My chance was fat I knocked on wood
Sicken by the cherry
Fans see that I'm feeling good
Throwing my own mary

[Chorus:]
No, I cuddina done it without me

[Verse:]
I got sunshine in my shade
After that is raining
Try to buy my lemonade
Ain't no use complaining

Like you trap, you sabotage
Can't identify 'em
I sit by this heat barrage
Never justify 'em

[Chorus:]
No, I cuddina done it without me

[Bridge:]
I am like I was
Before I got like I is
Running around like an Oz with no wiz
I do what I do
And I do like I should
Put my money on the wood and let bed throw good

Cuddina done it [x8]

[Bridge:]
I am like I was
Before I got like I is
Running around like an Oz with no wiz
I do what I do
And I do like I should
Put my money on the wood and let bed throw good

[Verse:]
They too late, should've but
They was out to get me
Broke my fate when I pushed my lover
Fortune never met me

Got the dart back in my shot
Like Jon has got on Wizzy
Put the sack back in my pack
Now I'm back to greedy

[Chorus x3:]
No, I cuddina done it without me

Wish I Were Him lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

[Verse:]
I'd jump in the river if I wasn't scared to drown
Wasn't scared to drown, wasn't scared to drown
I'd jump in the river if I wasn't scared to drown
But I'm scared of drowning so I stayed

[Verse:]
I'd walk through the fire if I wasn't scared to burn
Wasn't scared to burn, wasn't scared to burn
I'd walk through the fire if I wasn't scared to burn
But I'm scared of burning so I stayed

[Chorus:]
Wish I were him what's his problem we don't care
He don't see me when I stare he's not going anywhere
If I were him I would get so drive around
Just to light up on the sun, like a king I wouldn't crown
For all the love I found

[Verse:]
I looked in the mirror if I wasn't scared to cry
Wasn't scared to cry, wasn't scared to cry
I looked in the mirror if I wasn't scared to cry
But I'm scared of crying so I sing

[Chorus:]
Wish I were him what's his problem we don't care
He don't see me when I stare he's not going anywhere
If I were him I would get so drive around
Just to light up on the sun, like a king I wouldn't crown
For all the love I found

[Verse:]
I looked in the mirror if I wasn't scared to cry
Wasn't scared to cry, wasn't scared to cry
I looked in the mirror if I wasn't scared to cry
But I'm scared of crying so I sing

I'm scared of crying so I sing
I'm scared of something either way

S'pposed To Be lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

[Verse:]
Just a nick of time before I'm home with you
Just a little while I'm on my way
I can see you smiling feel your love so true
Just a little pins on the paint

[Verse:]
When I think of heaven I see fields of gold
And angels singing softly just for me
It would be the sweetest thing that I'll behold
Stronger than my old magnolia tree

[Chorus:]
When I'm s'pposed to be
When I'm s'pposed to be
I'll be with you when I'm s'pposed to be
Every road I travel leads me back to you
I'll be with you when I'm s'pposed to be

[Verse:]
Got no time for hurrying I'll keep my pace
I don't care if people pass me by
Know my journey's over when I see your face
Loving arms and sprung on in your eyes

[Chorus:]
When I'm s'pposed to be
When I'm s'pposed to be
I'll be with you when I'm s'pposed to be
Every road I travel leads me back to you
I'll be with you when I'm s'pposed to be

[Verse:]
Just a nick of time before I'm home with you
Just a little time I'm on my way
I can see you smiling feel your love so true
Just a little pins on the paint

[Chorus:]
When I'm s'pposed to be
When I'm s'pposed to be
I'll be with you when I'm s'pposed to be
Every road I travel leads me back to you
I'll be with you when I'm s'pposed to be

When I'm s'pposed to be [x4]
I'm with you
When I'm s'pposed to be [x4]
I'm with you
When I'm s'pposed to be [x4]
I'm with you

The Preacher lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

[Verse:]
I should've done it better
Should've done it right
Should've played it looser
Or played it tight

[Verse:]
You shoot out an arrow
You should improvise
You should listen to me
Listen 'cause I'm wise

[Chorus:]
Preach preacher
Save me before I drown
Teach preacher
Bring bring gavel down
Eat preacher
Always got alot to say
Preach preacher
Find a way to break my day

[Verse:]
Should've done it my way
Would've come out fine
Bottle in your cup and
Should've followed mine

[Verse:]
Everyone goes running
Running when I call
I'm a one man army
So you know what up

[Chorus:]
Preach preacher
Save me before I drown
Teach preacher
Bring bring gavel down
Eat preacher
Always got alot to say
Preach preacher
Find a way to break my day

[Verse:]
It will come a day son
When I'm not around
Should've took a lesson
Should've wrote it down

[Verse:]
'Cause I rode a sparrow
And I will never stop
But you can't expect him
To see him running around town

[Chorus:]
Preach preacher
Save me before I drown
Teach preacher
Bring bring gavel down
Eat preacher
Always got alot to say
Preach preacher
Find a way to break my day

Dang You Pretty lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Who you know to get that pretty
Where you go to get that pretty
People fly to New York city
You can't try to look that pretty

Who can tell to get that fitted
The word you say to get that pretty
Southern gal you so pretty
Well oh well dang you pretty

Pretty baby if you're daddy's home
Ask him if he kindly maybe leave you alone
Pretty baby if you're mama's over
Ask the pretty lady if she brings you to town

Girl oh my, dang you pretty
Sweet like wine, dang you pretty
No desire, back on with it
On my mind, dang you pretty

Shake that ham dang you pretty
3 am you still pretty
Made me say tonight this did it
Girl I mean, dang you pretty

Little mama if you walk with me
I can show you things that you be begging to see
Little mama I'm in love with you
And I think of things that you want me to
'Cause I know

Dang dang dang dang dang you pretty
Dang dang dang dang dang you pretty
Dang dang dang dang dang you pretty
Dang dang dang dang dang you pretty
Dang dang dang dang dang you pretty
Dang dang dang dang dang you pretty
Dang dang dang dang dang you pretty
Dang dang dang dang dang you pretty

Dang you pretty if I do say so
Dang you pretty if you needed to know
Dang you pretty did you hear me when
I said it before, and I'll say it again

Dang you pretty if I do say so
Dang you pretty if you needed to know
Dang you pretty did you hear me when
I said it before, and I'll say it again

Dang you pretty if I do say so
Dang you pretty if you needed to know
Dang you pretty did you hear me when
I said it before, and I'll say it again

Angola (At The Farm) lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

At the farm Angola they got me on watch hall
Ain't got it on more you can cut along
Ain't got it off tractor you can call that tiller
But you can call that park up the view and the birds along

At the farm Angola they got on red hand
Then the boys got mad at 74
They told him that it might be good for Charlie Fraser
They cut the wings of the heels of the sand that their work was done

Angola at the farm
Angola at the farm

At the farm Angola you work on sunshine
At the farm Angola you work on frame
Perhaps and it got to be a fortune
And if you don't like it
You can take it up with Wally King

The farm Angola's on the Mississippi
The shortest journey the life would enjoy at the sun
We spend all day all night thinking of the city
But the chase is ready so man don't you try to run

Angola at the farm
Angola at the farm
Angola at the farm
Angola at the farm

Nola Girl lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

[Verse:]
Going towards the coz wave south of 59
Headed to the easy to see that girl of mine
She's a bit peculiar , sings a different tune
She took my soul and then she stole
The crescent from the moon

[Chorus:]
Nola girl what you do
Laying lies and then you turn them true
Nola girl how'd you know
Tried of leave I cannot go

[Verse:]
Make you play your cards right
Make you call a bluff
She won't let you see much
But you'll see enough

[Verse:]
Tell her maybe next time
Tell you maybe not
You don't dare forget to care
For the girl that care forgot

[Chorus:]
Nola girl what you do
Laying lies and then you turn them true
Nola girl how'd you know
Tried of leave I cannot go

[Bridge:]
It's like they crossed up Madonna
With the young Marie Laveau
She'll do anything you wanna
Beside of turning old

[Verse:]
Sometimes in the morning
Right before the sun
She had satisfied you
But she's far from done

[Verse:]
She put summer perfume
She'll dress and both your girl
Watch you go, you wouldn't know
She's someone else's girl

[Chorus:]
Nola girl what you do
Laying lies and then you turn them true
Nola girl how'd you know
Tried of leave I can never go

Mind On The Matter lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Mama told me not to try to be nobody
I listened to her
Mama told me I'd grow up to be somebody
Looka here
Savin money's hard when you can't save your soul
I'll get through it
Tryin to dig myself out of this mighty hole
Listen to what I say
Got my mind on the matter
Sure as I tell ya
Now you know that's right
I look down at my hands and
I see labor burns
It's a part of livin
Keepin my feet on the ground while the world turns
It's all on me
Got my mind on the matter
Sure as I tell ya
Now you know that's right

City Beneath The Sea lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Take me... Take me
To the city beneath the sea
The river will wrap around me
And the music will let me be
You can find me on the neutral ground
On the corner of Fleur-de-lis
Please... somebody won't you take me
To the city beneath the sea
Take me... Take me
Where the night outshines the day
You can hear the tap of soda caps
And smell the ©toufe©
You can fais do do with Jacamo
Or fi na ne 'till three
Please... somebody won't you take me
To the city beneath the sea
How... How long
Can I stay away
How... How long
Can I stay away
Take me... Take me
To the Meters and the Mardi Gras
They betcha where you got your shoes
And they eat their oysters raw
Pork Chops dances all night long
But he won't dance for free
Please... somebody won't you take me
To the city beneath the sea
