Somewhere Far Away:  Silver Anniversary Album

Rounder Records, Aug 2, 2019.

1.  Both Ends of the Train
(Tim Stafford-Steve Gulley/Daniel Firm Music, BMI-Gulley's Curve Music,BMI)

I roomed with him in Rockville in 1925
He was doing life and I was doing time
His retentiveness drifted back when he was virtually alive
When Frank and Jesse James were in their prime number

He was a corporal, fought the Kiowa and Sioux
From Sulphur Springs to Kansas clay
Ran into trouble when his soldier days were through
Ended upwards a m miles away

Don't waste addicted words or sad goodbye
Lay me downwardly on the wide open plainly
Out below the quilted sky
Where I tin run across both ends of the train

He said I saw the Buffalo, the herds would terminal for days
Dorsum before the railroad came
At present it'due south all moved on without me only I miss the older means
And I know it tin can never be the same

They buried him at Rockville and his kind won't rise once more
I hope his soul tin can find some rest
To the globe he'south long forgotten, but to me he was a friend
I still recall his last request

ii.  Somewhere Far Abroad
(Shawn Lane-Gerald Ellenburg/True cat Town Music-BMI, Wadako Publishing-BMI)

Take you lot always been left all alone like a child
No one happens your way
People stare through yous every bit they pass you lot by
As they hurry along through their day

In the busy courtyard there the greenish grass you'll find
Water flows cool o'er the vine
Pennies shine brilliant equally they glare in the sun
And they happen to be by and large mine

Happen to be mostly mine
Have you e'er tried to come across all the stars in the sky
Looking up through the big city lights
An empty street gives y'all a chill in your soul

As a page of the paper blows past
A little bird makes this large city his home
He could go out but he chooses to stay
You wish you could ask him to borrow his wings
And fly somewhere far abroad

Wing somewhere far away.

three.  Dear Kentucky
(Shawn Lane-Gerald Ellenburg/Cat Town Music-BMI, Wadako Publishing-BMI)

I miss the homeplace on the hillside
And the smell of apple blossoms in the air
I miss daddy'south stories by the fireside
And my momma'due south voice every bit she kneeled in prayer

I'chiliad leaving this evening for dear Kentucky
Where wild roses flower this fourth dimension of year
I tin feel the Apr sun shining on me
As I walk the fertile ground I love then dear

Is the corn still growing in the meadow
Where Miller plowed the ground in early spring
Are the dogs still running through the red oaks
I'm going back to live that fashion again

I long to see sweet Angelina
I wonder if she withal remembers me
It's been many years since I've seen her
In my centre there'southward a identify she'll ever be

I'yard leaving tonight for Dear Kentucky
Where wild roses flower this time of year
I tin experience the summer sunday shining on me
As I walk the fertile ground I dear then honey

4.  In Texas Tonight
(Tim Stafford-Bobby Starnes/Daniel House Music, BMI-Information technology Says What It Says Music,BMI)

He's out on the prairie tonight, headed for Austin
She worries virtually him lonely, and prays for him ofttimes
She said don't cover your tracks
So yous can detect your way back
Not a deject in the sky every bit the coyote cries in the distance
In Texas tonight

He camped for the nighttime on the banks of the big Brazos River
And he dreamed of his married woman back at dwelling house and the life he would give her
He said it wouldn't be long
Until these hard times are gone
He hums a sweetness tune equally the gold harvest moon slowly rises
In Texas this evening

No one can say what will exist
In life in that location'due south no guarantees
Somewhere on the prairie tonight, this side of Austin
She worries about him lone, and prays for him ofttimes
She'll dream of beloved without finish
Until she sees him once again
Non a cloud in the sky equally the coyote cries in the distance
In Texas tonight

five.  Cochise County
(Tim Stafford-Bobby Starnes/Daniel Business firm Music, BMI-Information technology Says What It Says Music,BMI)

He was born near Hale Missouri

On the day that Vicksburg roughshod

And heaven hath no fury

like a boy raised up in hell

He heard about Frank and Jesse

And how they robbed to feed the poor

But he robbed to adjust his pleasure

and killed for goose egg more

Chorus

Dead or alive read his bounty

thirty notches on his gun

The meanest man in Cochise County

picked the wrong place to run

 Riding out to California

Where no law had heard his name

Most the bright San Pedro Valley

Similar a moth drawn to a flame

 He hired with Johnny Ringo

Curly Bill and Texas Jack

He loaned his soul to the devil

But he'll never get information technology dorsum

I can see my time to come living in the past

Own't No Ameliorate, Ain't no worse

Own't getting no younger, least I'm getting older

Got the weight of the earth on my shoulders

Need to put my problems up on the shelf

finish feeling sad for myself

Go along digging that hole, i day you'll meet

A handshake and a promise of riches he'd never seen

He said "My Daddy bought this country when he was seventeen."

2) The human in the suit simply smiled and said "I don't call back you understand."

If you just sign these papers, you'll be a wealthy human being

Buy a mansion on a hilltop, Only enjoy the view

The onetime homo looked out in the distance and said, "I already practise"

CH) The current of air yet blows the fields of corn where we worked when I was immature

I still smell the honeysuckle, gustatory modality the h2o on my tongue

In my optics, the skies are always Carolina bluish

You say I could live anywhere I want,

I already practice

iii) He climbed dorsum on his Farmall, watched big money drive away

He still had things to do and it was manner upward in the day

He wiped the sweat out of his eyebrows, Cut a chew of King Bee Twist

Never gave another thought to all the things he might have missed

TAG) If you have a life that'south simple, someone whose love is true

You promise 1 day to have it all, but You already exercise

2. Remind Me of You

I started slowly like I ever do

Day old java at the crack of noon

I found your number in the pocket of my pants

The good day I was wishing for never had a risk

Jumped in that pickup that I bought for you

Guess they don't brand 'em like they used to do

Turned on the radio and much to my surprise

There ain't no way you know, to Hide Your Lying Eyes

CH) Just like the lord's day keeps comin up and down

Some memories keep on coming back around

I don't need another reason to believe

Like I demand anything reminding me of you

Information technology's always love that turns your caput around

It hurts like hell when it comes crashing down

Nosotros lost track of right and incorrect somehow

Who'south to blame and does it matter now?

We had our moment but it's come and gone

A ghost that's haunted me for way too long

I wish that I could close the book, and allow the story end

But every fourth dimension I turn the page, yous're turning upwardly again

Now the things i took for gospel just get more absurd
And the Truth is just another bespeak of view

 blue skies every bit far as y'all can see
In California at that place's no changing of the seasons
Only there's been a modify of Religion in Tennessee

And so many other things I couldn't  run into
 a make new Book of Revelation gave me back my sight
there'south been a alter of Religion in Tennessee

 salvation dont mean nothin til it's  free

V) I made my peace with my maker, now I'yard fix to motility on
Roll the stone across the door
The body of our love is laying in the tomb
Its gone and will rise again no more

7.Church Bell Wedding ceremony Blues
(Tim Stafford-Jon Weisberger/Daniel Business firm Music, BMI-Utilise Your Words Music, BMI)

Walking downward the boulevard on a Sunday afternoon
Feeling good right down to my my shoes
Then I heard 'em ringing out, where I'thousand headin, there'southward no doubt
I've got the church bell nuptials blues

Every time I hear them erstwhile bells band, ring ring
For everybody else its Happy news
Simply all I hear is another song of how yous proved untrue
And I get the church building bong wedding dejection

Possibly if I blow this town, change my point of view
Some might only requite up simply I refuse
Put the pedal to the floor just to hear my engine roar
And bulldoze away These Church bong wedding blues

Every time I hear them former bells ring, ring band
For everybody else it's Happy news
merely all I've got is a cleaved middle and information technology's left a mighty bruise
Sounds like The church bell wedding dejection

Every fourth dimension I hear them quondam bells ring, ring band
For everybody else it's Happy news
But all I hear them telling me is son, you'll never lose
The low and lonesome church bell wedding blues

Seems similar only yesterday, a directly backed boy barely twenty one who didn't have to strain to catch his wind

There'south a lot of mixed emotions, all the friends and family unit I've seen come and go down in the hole

And I'm  not sure if I'm the kind of human, who tin spend all mean solar day sitting by himself, slowly growin' quondam
With a fishin' pole

CH) information technology's my  last twenty-four hours in the mine
I never thought in that location would come a time
Id never go back underground, lay my dinner bucket down
Information technology'south my last day in the mine

v. Heather and Billy
(Tim Stafford-Steve Gulley/Daniel House Music, BMI-Gulleys Curve Music, BMI)

But you hardly ever saw him playing all lonely

Some were abased, some driveling, some neglected, others used

Only every Monday'due south child felt at home, never alone

2) Deplorable-eyed Samantha, she's simply six years old

But she tells y'all things a kid should never know

How she cried herself to sleep, and prayed the Lord her soul to continue

It's a wonder she's standing hither today, God fabricated a style

Br) Never thinking of themselves, merely how to care for someone else

A quiet home just never was their style

Can't say they had a vision, or something more proufound

Truth is they just couldn't turn 'em downwards

3) Heather and Billy, they're just like me and you

But look a petty closer and yous'll larn a affair or 2

How to love, how to grieve, How to make yourself believe

(Tim Stafford-Bob Minner/Daniel House Music, BMI-Missouriboy Music, BMI)

Rounder Records, 2008

* Nominated for 2008 IBMA Anthology of the Year

1. Life of a Travelin' Homo
(Shawn Lane/True cat Boondocks Music, BMI)

Go the yard cutting down and the babies fed
A million songs runnin' through my head
Daylight comes I'll exist gone once more
When does the highway always end
My shoulders bare such a heavy load
Hard to keep my thoughts all in a row
I tin can't slow downwardly the life I've chose
Somehow I love the fashion it goes
Fourth dimension moves fast and the wheels turn ho-hum
That's how the life of a travelin' man goes

The winds of modify are a blowin' through
Just like they're always gonna do
They'll turn the page to some other proper name
Different picture in the same ole frame
Lightning flashing up ahead
A one thousand thousand songs runnin' through my head
I tin't name every place I've been
But if the Lord is willing I'll be there again

2. Through the Window of a Train
(Tim Stafford-Steve Gulley/Daniel House Music, BMI-Gulley'south Curve Music, BMI)

Everybody drives the same quondam roads these days
Don't meet a thing, but they know the way
Every mile'due south a marker, every town's the aforementioned
Another place to finish merely not to stay

Daddy was a brakeman on the Fifty&Northward
Sometimes he'd let me ride along with him
No matter where we'd end along the way
Everybody knew his name

A unlike story down every line
People workin' hard just to live and die
I saw it all one time upon a time
Through the window of a train

Then we started back the way we came
Similar people moving through a moving picture frame
Seems the whole globe's farther down the runway
But I'yard always looking back

I don't expect you all to empathise
Or see the country like a railroad man
Then many things you'd never realize
Unless you saw 'em with these eyes

Birmingham to Jackson, hear the whistle phone call
And the sun goes down like a big red brawl
In my memory I nonetheless see information technology all
Through the window of a railroad train

3. Sycamore Hollow
(Shawn Lane-Gerald Ellenburg/Cat Town Music, BMI-Wadako Publishing, BMI)

It was downwards by the forked stream
Out in Sycamore Holler
I went downward in my best of dress
To take her from her begetter

With hair down to her waist
The color of strawberries
Down by the forked stream
By nighttime autumn we would marry

I sure dear the farmer'south daughter
Back in Sycamore Holler

On a horse seventeen hands high
He rode in Sherman 'south army
To Atlanta town against her will
He took my woman from me

Well I grabbed my knife and
both of my guns
In a loud vocalisation I did call her
Upon a lightning horse I swore in one case more
Equally I left Sycamore Holler

I will bring the farmer's daughter
Back to Sycamore Holler

Information technology was downwardly past the river's edge
I run into the campfire flicker
Four dead men lay behind
As I get out that army camp with her

Now our children play in a forked stream
Out in Sycamore Holler
With a boy like me and a girl like her
We'll always be together

I sure love the farmer's daughter
Down in Sycamore Holler

4. Homeless Man
(Wayne Taylor/Forty WAT Music, BMI)

They called him Skeet, his name was Bill
Corporal William Howard Campbell,
they never knew and never will
He did his time with the 101
They took a unproblematic country male child
and taught him how to use a gun
Afterward iv long years in service,
two tours in Vietnam
The country that he served so well
doesn't seem to give a damn
That he's a homeless human

He has a son, lives in L.A.
He hasn't spoke to him in twenty years,
he just don't know what to say
He had a loving wife, she was his right hand
Till the nightmares and the memories
became more that she could stand up
Now he has everything he owns
in a worn-out shopping cart
He's never begged for anything,
he just doesn't accept the heart
He'southward just a homeless human

Now in this land of plenty
where then many have it all,
He sleeps in an alley one-half a block from city hall

They found him in that location one cold Nov dark
Though he'd won and then many battles,
this time he'd lost the fight
No 1 seemed to care that he was gone
They laid him in a pauper's grave
with a tiny little stone
Equally a young human and his mother
sat alone and cried,
Holding the Silver Star medallion
someone constitute there by his side
He was a homeless homo

He was simply a homeless man

5. Where Did the Morning Become?
(Shawn Lane/Cat Boondocks Music, BMI)

Where did the morning go?
I meant to exercise much more with this life
I was built-in a clear and sunny day
Now evening shadows fall my way
Where did the morn get?

It was dawn when my babies cried
At present they're able to walk out on their ain
I've had a family that I've always loved
And I made peace with my God in a higher place
But where did the morning go?

I've held easily that I loved to hold
But an evenin' came when I had to let 'em get
I still write the words down to my songs
But it'south unlike voices that sing along
Where did the morning go?

vi. 2 Soldiers
(Tim Stafford-Wood Newton/Daniel Firm Music, BMI–Rope-a-Dope Music, BMI)

Nosotros show up every morning,
our uniforms are pressed
All spit and polish, we have to look our best
This message that nosotros carry
is a heavy load to bear
For those who pay the price with sacrifice
We have to show we intendance

Everybody has a duty, a way they tin can shine
The ones who go over there
and those who stay behind
Some ain't coming back, reality is grim
It'due south upwards to me and Sergeant Jack
To break the news to them

Nosotros're the 2 soldiers no one wants to see
In a patently black sedan
rolling slowly down the street
Past the toys and the bikes
below the maple copse
Where fading yellowish ribbons
moving ridge gently in the cakewalk
A loved 1's in a ameliorate place
They won't be back no more
Now there'due south two soldiers at the door

Sometimes they see united states of america coming
and fall down on their knees
Tears are alluvion,
crying "no, God, please."
Sometimes they just stand there, silent as a stone
With no surprise in their eyes
Like they knew information technology all along

See the soldiers on the tarmac, ready to deploy
Husbands and wives with footling girls and boys
Say a silent prayer they all come back alive
And never run into Jack and me pull upward in their bulldoze

7. The North Cove
(Jason Burleson/Terrible Twos Music, BMI)

(Instrumental)

8. A Calendar week from Today
(Tim Stafford-Robert G. Starnes/Daniel House Music, BMI-It Says What It Says Music, BMI)

Time is a funny affair you know
No thing where you are it comes and goes
I've lived my life one day at a time
Time is all I've had and all I know

Home is a land of mind it'south said
4 walls and a roof inside your head
To some it might seem strange,
only I'm too damn old to change
Now the warden says the country requires my bed

It's been l years since they sent me hither
I had forty-ix more than to go
But a week from today
They'll open this gate for skilful
And I'll accept to walk away
But Lord knows I'd stay if I could

I won't last a solar day out in that location lonely
This prison house cell'south the only abode I've known
The world exterior has changed,
just the one inside's the aforementioned
I'll have to find a style to get back home

9. My Ropin' Days Are Done
(Tim Stafford-Robert G. Starnes/Daniel House Music, BMI-It Says What Information technology Says Music, BMI)

I was thinkin' 'bout Mary as I left Tucumcari
With four hours to brand Santa Atomic number 26
I know she's been hopin' I'll quit this damn ropin'
Only that's one affair that she'd never say

It's a cowboy'due south addiction, the smell and the friction
Of the rope when it's dallied and taut
Every yr it gets rougher,
only her beloved is tougher
Than whatever steer I've ever fought

Information technology'due south more a livin', it's been my whole life
Taken and given the pleasance and strife…
But I've known all forth that this day would come
Estimate my ropin' days are washed

At that place's headers and heelers, addicts and dealers
And Crown to cover the fear
I been a saint and a sinner, a loser and winner
And so where exercise I get from here?

I could be abode past daybreak if I turn around now
I'God boys, it'southward been fun
Tell the girls in Nogales I'm headed to Dallas
Now my ropin' days are done

10. Blues on Blues
(Tim Stafford-Robert K. Starnes-Jon Weisberger/Daniel House Music, BMI-Information technology Says What It Says Music, BMI-Utilise Your Words Music, BMI)

Blues on blues, pain on pain
Nothing to do only lookout man it rain
Tears fall downwards from missing yous, oh Lord
Colour you gone and colour me blue on blueish

V years ago when we get-go met
I never dreamed that I'd regret
Loving you lot the manner I practise, oh Lord
You fell for another and left me blue on blueish

Running out of tears, running out of heart
Too tired to make another get-go
Don't wanna find somebody new, oh Lord
Cause I'm non over y'all, I'thou blue on blue

The day may come when I'll try again
With a little luck, next time I'll win
When yous got aught, you got cipher to lose, oh Lord
When you striking rock bottom there's nothing but blues
on blues

Dejection on blues, pain on pain
Nothing to exercise but watch it rain
Tears fall downwardly from missing you, oh Lord
Color y'all gone and color me blueish on blue

xi. Five-Bottom Boat
(Shawn Lane/True cat Town Music, BMI)

If I can find a river or a fast footling stream
Or a big ole high mountain
with a little lake in betwixt

A v-bottom boat, a v-bottom gunkhole
A five-lesser gunkhole'll accept me
where I want to go

Ol' Noah cried out to the Lord,
"God what shall I practise?"
God said to build a v-bottom boat and
you'll get through

A five-lesser boat, a v-lesser gunkhole
A v-bottom boat'll take you lot
where you want to get

Cars, planes and trains tin take you lot
almost anywhere
But a v-lesser boat is how I'd rather
become there

A v-bottom boat, a v-bottom boat
A five-bottom gunkhole'll take me
where I want to go

One day I'll find the stream that leads up to
my Savior fair
I'll ride in a v-lesser boat to encounter him there

12. Just Another Gravel in the Route
(Wayne Taylor/Xl WAT Music, BMI)

You keep saying things I don't understand
I try existent hard to never let it evidence
Your sophisticated means have left me in a daze
I gauge I'm simply another gravel in the road

My friends all tried to tell me when I met you
You lot're needn't recall you lot'll always go on that girl
They said your loftier-grade sense of taste would lay my
life to waste matter
And I'd never be accustomed in your earth

I've started to believe what they've been saying
It'due south becoming clear our feelings
aren't the same
You keep trying to change me
from what I choose to exist
But yous gotta know that
I don't play that game
