[Verse 1]
D
I'm gonna take me a ride on a riverboat
Cadd9
Down in New Orleans
D
Gotta pocket full o' money and a liquor bottle
Cadd9 G/B D
Gonna drink away my dreams
D
Don't really want to leave
Cadd9
Sure I can't stay
D
I'm gonna get on that riverboat
Cadd9 G/B D
And gamble my life away
[Chorus]
Cadd9
Makes me fly like an eagle
D
Higher and higher every day
Cadd9
'Cause in my mind and in my dreams
D Cadd9 D Cadd9 G/B
I can't get her away
[Verse 2]
D
Gonna sit down at that poker table
Cadd9
Five card stud's my game
D
Gonna try and forget that crazy woman
Cadd9 G/B D
Gonna try and forget her name
D
I don't know how I'll make it
Cadd9
But I'll forget her some way
D
This is the time and the only time
Cadd9 G/B D
She ain't gonna get away
[Chorus]
Cadd9
She makes me fly like an eagle
D
Higher and higher every day
Cadd9
'Cause in my mind and in my dreams
D Cadd9 D Cadd9 G/B
I can't get her away

I can't get her away

Can't get her away
