Somewhere Far Away:  Silver Anniversary Anthology

Rounder Records, Aug 2, 2019.

1.  Both Ends of the Railroad 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 most alive
When Frank and Jesse James were in their prime

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 up a thou miles abroad

Don't waste fond words or sad goodbye
Lay me downwardly on the broad open up plain
Out beneath the quilted sky
Where I can see both ends of the train

He said I saw the Buffalo, the herds would last for days
Back before the railroad came
Now it'south all moved on without me but I miss the older means
And I know it tin never be the aforementioned

They buried him at Rockville and his kind won't rise again
I hope his soul can find some rest
To the world he'due south long forgotten, but to me he was a friend
I still call back his last request

2.  Somewhere Far Away
(Shawn Lane-Gerald Ellenburg/Cat Town Music-BMI, Wadako Publishing-BMI)

Have you ever been left all alone similar a child
No one happens your mode
People stare through you as they pass you by
Every bit they bustle forth through their day

In the busy courtyard in that location the light-green grass yous'll find
Water flows cool o'er the vine
Pennies shine brilliant every bit they glare in the sun
And they happen to be mostly mine

Happen to be mostly mine
Have you always tried to see 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 petty bird makes this large city his home
He could go out but he chooses to stay
Y'all wish you could ask him to borrow his wings
And wing somewhere far abroad

Fly somewhere far away.

three.  Dear Kentucky
(Shawn Lane-Gerald Ellenburg/True cat Boondocks Music-BMI, Wadako Publishing-BMI)

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

I'thousand leaving tonight for dear Kentucky
Where wild roses flower this time of year
I can feel the April dominicus shining on me
Equally I walk the fertile ground I love and then dear

Is the corn still growing in the meadow
Where Miller plowed the footing in early leap
Are the dogs still running through the cherry-red oaks
I'g going back to alive that way again

I long to see sweet Angelina
I wonder if she nevertheless remembers me
Information technology's been many years since I've seen her
In my eye there's a identify she'll always be

I'chiliad leaving this night for Dearest Kentucky
Where wild roses bloom this time of year
I can feel the summer dominicus shining on me
Equally I walk the fertile footing I dear so honey

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

He's out on the prairie this evening, headed for Austin
She worries most him lone, and prays for him oftentimes
She said don't cover your tracks
So you tin can find your way dorsum
Non a cloud in the sky as the coyote cries in the distance
In Texas this night

He camped for the dark on the banks of the large Brazos River
And he dreamed of his wife back at home and the life he would give her
He said it wouldn't be long
Until these hard times are gone
He hums a sweet melody every bit the gold harvest moon slowly rises
In Texas this evening

No ane tin say what will be
In life there's no guarantees
Somewhere on the prairie this evening, this side of Austin
She worries near him lone, and prays for him often
She'll dream of love without end
Until she sees him again
Not a cloud in the heaven equally the coyote cries in the altitude
In Texas tonight

5.  Cochise Canton
(Tim Stafford-Bobby Starnes/Daniel House Music, BMI-It Says What Information technology Says Music,BMI)

He was born near Unhurt Missouri

On the twenty-four hours that Vicksburg savage

And heaven hath no fury

similar a boy raised upward in hell

He heard near Frank and Jesse

And how they robbed to feed the poor

Merely he robbed to suit his pleasance

and killed for nothing more

Chorus

Dead or alive read his bounty

30 notches on his gun

The meanest human in Cochise County

picked the wrong identify to run

 Riding out to California

Where no police force had heard his name

Nigh the vivid San Pedro Valley

Like a moth drawn to a flame

 He hired with Johnny Ringo

Curly Beak and Texas Jack

He loaned his soul to the devil

Merely he'll never get it back

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

2) The man in the suit just smiled and said "I don't think you understand."

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

CH) The air current still blows the fields of corn where nosotros worked when I was young

I still smell the honeysuckle, taste the h2o on my natural language

In my eyes, the skies are e'er Carolina blueish

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

He still had things to do and it was way upwardly in the solar day

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

You hope ane day to have it all, just You already do

Day one-time coffee at the crack of noon

I institute 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 y'all

Guess they don't make 'em like they used to exercise

Turned on the radio and much to my surprise

In that location ain't no way you know, to Hide Your Lying Eyes

CH) Just like the sun keeps comin up and down

Some memories go along on coming dorsum around

I don't need another reason to believe

Similar I need anything reminding me of you

It's e'er love that turns your head around

Information technology hurts like hell when it comes crashing downwards

Nosotros lost track of right and wrong somehow

Who's to blame and does information technology affair at present?

We had our moment but information technology'southward come and gone

A ghost that's haunted me for style too long

I wish that I could shut the volume, and let the story end

Only every time I turn the page, y'all're turning up once again

At present the things i took for gospel merely become more absurd
And the Truth is just another point of view

 bluish skies equally far as you lot tin can encounter
In California in that location'due south no changing of the seasons
But at that place'southward been a alter of Faith in Tennessee

Then many other things I couldn't  run across

 salvation dont mean nothin til information technology's  complimentary

Roll the rock beyond the door
The body of our love is laying in the tomb
Its gone and will ascension again no more

seven.Church Bong Wedding Blues
(Tim Stafford-Jon Weisberger/Daniel House Music, BMI-Apply Your Words Music, BMI)

Walking down the boulevard on a Lord's day afternoon
Feeling good right down to my my shoes
Then I heard 'em ringing out, where I'm headin, there's no uncertainty
I've got the church bong hymeneals blues

Every time I hear them old bells band, band band
For everybody else its Happy news
Simply all I hear is another song of how you proved untrue
And I get the church building bell nuptials blues

Mayhap if I blow this town, change my bespeak of view
Some might only surrender merely I turn down
Put the pedal to the floor just to hear my engine roar
And bulldoze abroad These Church bell wedding blues

Every fourth dimension I hear them sometime bells band, ring ring
For everybody else it's Happy news
but all I've got is a broken heart and information technology'south left a mighty bruise
Sounds similar The church bell wedding dejection

Every time I hear them former bells ring, ring band
For everybody else it'southward Happy news
But all I hear them telling me is son, you'll never lose
The low and lonesome church bell wedding dejection

Seems similar only yesterday, a straight backed boy barely twenty 1 who didn't have to strain to catch his current of air

In that location'due south a lot of mixed emotions, all the friends and family I've seen come and go down in the hole

And I'm  not certain if I'one thousand the kind of man, who can spend all day sitting by himself, slowly growin' former
With a fishin' pole

CH) information technology's my  last day in the mine
I never idea at that place would come a fourth dimension
Id never become back underground, lay my dinner bucket down
It's my final day in the mine

V3) the super said to me, today we're gonna proceed you off the line, but stay behind

Well I know that's how it goes, simply I'd rather throw my marker in the automobile one last time Would be so fine

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

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

It'due south a wonder she'due south standing here today, God fabricated a mode

Br) Never thinking of themselves, simply how to treat someone else

A quiet home simply never was their style

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

Truth is they just couldn't turn 'em downwardly

Through the Window of a Train

Rounder Records, 2008

*  IBMA Song of the Yr 2008 - Through the Window of a Train
* Nominated for 2008 IBMA Album of the Year

1. Life of a Travelin' Homo
(Shawn Lane/Cat Town Music, BMI)

Get the thou cut down and the babies fed
A million songs runnin' through my head
Daylight comes I'll exist gone once again
When does the highway ever end
My shoulders bare such a heavy load
Hard to go on my thoughts all in a row
I tin't slow downwards the life I've chose
Somehow I dear the way it goes
Fourth dimension moves fast and the wheels turn slow
That's how the life of a travelin' man goes

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

2. Through the Window of a Railroad train
(Tim Stafford-Steve Gulley/Daniel House Music, BMI-Gulley's Bend Music, BMI)

Everybody drives the aforementioned old roads these days
Don't see a thing, merely they know the fashion
Every mile's a marking, every town'south the aforementioned
Another place to stop merely not to stay

Daddy was a brakeman on the 50&N
Sometimes he'd allow me ride along with him
No matter where we'd stop along the way
Everybody knew his proper name

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

And then we started dorsum the style we came
Similar people moving through a picture frame
Seems the whole globe's further downwards the track
Just I'yard always looking back

I don't expect you all to empathize
Or meet the country like a railroad human being
So many things you'd never realize
Unless you saw 'em with these eyes

Birmingham to Jackson, hear the whistle call
And the dominicus goes down like a big cerise brawl
In my memory I still see information technology all
Through the window of a train

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

It was down by the forked stream
Out in Sycamore Holler
I went down in my best of apparel
To take her from her father

With hair downward to her waist
The color of strawberries
Downwardly past the forked stream
By night autumn nosotros would marry

I sure dearest the farmer'south girl
Back in Sycamore Holler

On a horse seventeen hands loftier
He rode in Sherman 's 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 voice I did telephone call her
Upon a lightning horse I swore once more
As I left Sycamore Holler

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

It was downwardly by the river's edge
I see the bivouac flicker
Four dead men lay behind
Equally I get out that camp with her

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

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

iv. Homeless Man
(Wayne Taylor/Xl 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 state boy
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 annihilation,
he only doesn't have the center
He's simply a homeless man

Now in this country of enough
where so many have it all,
He sleeps in an aisle half a cake from city hall

They establish him in that location ane common cold November night
Though he'd won so many battles,
this fourth dimension he'd lost the fight
No i seemed to intendance that he was gone
They laid him in a pauper's grave
with a tiny niggling stone
Every bit a immature human being and his female parent
sat alone and cried,
Holding the Silver Star medallion
someone found there by his side
He was a homeless human being

He was merely a homeless homo

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

Where did the forenoon go?
I meant to do much more than with this life
I was born a clear and sunny 24-hour interval
At present evening shadows fall my way
Where did the morn go?

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

I've held hands that I loved to hold
Merely an evenin' came when I had to let 'em go
I still write the words down to my songs
But information technology's different voices that sing forth
Where did the morning get?

half-dozen. Ii Soldiers
(Tim Stafford-Wood Newton/Daniel Business firm Music, BMI–Rope-a-Dope Music, BMI)

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

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

We're the two soldiers no one wants to see
In a manifestly black sedan
rolling slowly down the street
By the toys and the bikes
beneath the maple trees
Where fading yellow ribbons
moving ridge gently in the breeze
A loved one'southward in a amend identify
They won't be back no more
Now in that location's two soldiers at the door

Sometimes they meet us coming
and autumn downwards on their knees
Tears are overflowing,
crying "no, God, please."
Sometimes they simply stand there, silent as a stone
With no surprise in their eyes
Like they knew it all along

Run into the soldiers on the tarmac, ready to deploy
Husbands and wives with petty girls and boys
Say a silent prayer they all come up back live
And never come across Jack and me pull up in their drive

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

(Instrumental)

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

Time is a funny thing you know
No matter where y'all 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

Dwelling house is a state of mind information technology'due south said
Iv walls and a roof within your head
To some information technology might seem strange,
but I'yard also damn old to change
Now the warden says the country requires my bed

It's been fifty years since they sent me here
I had forty-nine more to become
Simply a week from today
They'll open this gate for practiced
And I'll have to walk away
Merely Lord knows I'd stay if I could

I won't final a day out there alone
This prison cell'southward the only dwelling I've known
The world exterior has changed,
simply the one within's the aforementioned
I'll have to find a mode to become back habitation

ix. My Ropin' Days Are Done
(Tim Stafford-Robert One thousand. Starnes/Daniel House Music, BMI-It Says What It Says Music, BMI)

I was thinkin' 'tour Mary as I left Tucumcari
With four hours to make Santa Fe
I know she's been hopin' I'll quit this damn ropin'
Just that's one thing that she'd never say

Information technology'southward a cowboy'south addiction, the odour and the friction
Of the rope when it'south dallied and taut
Every year information technology gets rougher,
simply her love is tougher
Than whatever steer I've ever fought

It's more than a livin', information technology's been my whole life
Taken and given the pleasance and strife…
Only I've known all along that this day would come
Gauge my ropin' days are done

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 do I go from hither?

I could exist home by daybreak if I plow around now
I'God boys, it's been fun
Tell the girls in Nogales I'm headed to Dallas
Now my ropin' days are done

ten. Blues on Blues
(Tim Stafford-Robert G. Starnes-Jon Weisberger/Daniel House Music, BMI-It Says What It Says Music, BMI-Employ Your Words Music, BMI)

Dejection on blues, pain on hurting
Nothing to do simply watch information technology rain
Tears fall downwardly from missing you, oh Lord
Color you gone and colour me blue on blue

Five years ago when we first met
I never dreamed that I'd regret
Loving you lot the way I practise, oh Lord
Yous brutal for another and left me blue on bluish

Running out of tears, running out of heart
Too tired to make another start
Don't wanna notice somebody new, oh Lord
Crusade I'm not over you lot, I'm blue on blue

The 24-hour interval may come when I'll effort again
With a trivial luck, next time I'll win
When you got nothing, you got nix to lose, oh Lord
When you striking rock bottom there'southward nothing but blues
on blues

Blues on dejection, hurting on pain
Nothing to do but spotter it pelting
Tears fall downwards from missing you, oh Lord
Color yous gone and color me blue on blueish

11. V-Bottom Boat
(Shawn Lane/Cat Town Music, BMI)

If I can find a river or a fast piffling stream
Or a large ole high mountain
with a picayune lake in between

A 5-bottom gunkhole, a five-bottom boat
A 5-bottom gunkhole'll have me
where I want to become

Ol' Noah cried out to the Lord,
"God what shall I do?"
God said to build a five-lesser boat and
you lot'll get through

A v-bottom boat, a v-lesser boat
A v-lesser boat'll have you lot
where you want to go

Cars, planes and trains can have you
near anywhere
Just a five-lesser boat is how I'd rather
become there

A 5-bottom boat, a v-lesser boat
A 5-bottom boat'll take me
where I want to go

One twenty-four hour period I'll find the stream that leads up to
my Savior fair
I'll ride in a five-bottom gunkhole to meet him there

12. Just Some other Gravel in the Route
(Wayne Taylor/Forty WAT Music, BMI)

You keep saying things I don't understand
I try real hard to never allow information technology show
Your sophisticated ways have left me in a daze
I guess I'1000 just another gravel in the road

My friends all tried to tell me when I met y'all
Y'all're needn't retrieve you lot'll e'er keep that daughter
They said your high-class taste would lay my
life to waste
And I'd never be accepted in your world

I've started to believe what they've been saying
Information technology's becoming clear our feelings
aren't the same
You keep trying to change me
from what I choose to exist
But y'all gotta know that
I don't play that game
