I Left my Heart in New Albany (2.20.06)
(1st Verse)
Thrift store jacket,
Brand new shirt,
A homemade corsage
Doesn’t hurt
For my date
Though we’re just friends,
But something’s gonna change
By the night’s end.
…‘Cause someone in the room will have my heart…
(Chorus)
I left my heart in New Albany
At the Winter Formal.
Under the DJ’s lights, oh, everything looked
Red & purple.
She doesn’t like any guys that are
Relatively normal.
I left my heart in New Albany
At the Winter Formal.
Out of place,
Out of mind.
Escalades and
Vases that shine.
The don’t sparkle
Like her eyes.
Just five girls
And 10 guys.
Oh, I play bass,
And trombone,
But she sounds like an angel
On the phone.
When we danced,
She was close to me.
Made my heart cry out,
“I heart Kelsey!”
…But now my hearts with her…
(Chorus)
I left my heart in New Albany
At the Winter Formal.
Under the DJ’s lights, oh, everything looked
Red & purple.
She doesn’t like any guys that are
Relatively normal.
I left my heart in New Albany
At the Winter Formal.
(Bridge)
K is for Kewl, which is what she most certainly is.
E is for Everything, which is what I want her to be to me.
L is for Lame, the one thing on this list that she’s not ([Back-up vocals:] She’s hott!)
S is for Super Sexy, which is how you looked in your dress.
E is for Everything, which is what I want to be to toi, aussi.
Y is for You, which is what this song is all about.
(Chorus [Acoustic & slow coming off bridge])
I left my heart in New Albany
At the Winter Formal.
Under the DJ’s lights, oh, everything looked
Red & purple.
She doesn’t like any guys that are
Relatively normal.
I left my heart in New Albany
At the Winter Formal.
(Back to original intensity)
With Kelsey. (hold)
(While holding, back up comes in: I left my heart in New Albany)
With Kelsey. (hold)
(While holding, back up comes in: I left my heart in New Albany)
With Kelsey. (hold)
(While holding, back up comes in: I left my heart in New Albany)
With Kelsey. (don’t hold)
Lemme know what you think...
