She said, somethin's come up again. I'll try to call when I get in. She's the busiest girl I know. We've hardly even talked in days. It never used to be this way.
She said, "Baby, get me out of here". And right then I knew just where. A little place not far away. A little less than half a day behind the wheel. .
(Mark Erelli). . You taught me everything I know 'bout being lonesome. And I learned my lesson oh so faithfully. What was I thinking of. When I gave you my love.
You taught me everything I know 'bout being lonesome. . And I learned my lesson oh so faithfully. . What was I thinking of. When I gave you my love. For I knew you would go eventually.
(Mark Erelli). . Darlin' when we me you said I was the one. So I never thought the knot we tied would come undone. But lately you've been acting kind of strange.
Trouble come falling from the pure blue sky. Went down to the well but the well was dry. Wasn't nothing but a bucket and a hole in the ground. I pitched myself like a penny thrown.
(Clarence Gibson). . Well you think you got troubles. Man listen to me. I'll tell you a story as it happened you see. . I got four little kids a-waiting at home.
(Mark Erelli). . When I was a boy. I went to hear this picker play. I still recall his blue guitar. Like it was yesterday. I was a powder keg a-waitin'.
(Dennis Brennan & Kevin Barry). . Down on this row there ain't much to do. So I close my eyes and dream about you. You and that guy I met once or twice.
(Mark Erelli). . Every year about this time I think of leaving. But every year about this time I never go. I'm the only one I am deceiving. This town sinks its teeth in deep and it don't let go.
(Mark Erelli). . I read the paper. I watch the news. It seems there's only pain and sufferin'. And there ain't much I can do. It's so senseless. I feel defenseless.
(Mark Erelli). . The government man. Started building his dam. Then he told us it was all for the best. 'Cause they were tearing it down. They were drowning our town.
When the sun comes back. And the first quail calls. Follow the drinking gourd. The old man is waiting. For to carry you to freedom. Follow the drinking gourd.
The Devil's train is long and black. And it rides on rails of tears. And it's headed for destruction now. With a drunken engineer. . Oh, see the greatness of the crowd.
(Jonathan Kingham & Mark Erelli). . She was the parson's only daughter. And a poor sharecropper's dream. Her voice as sweet as falling water. From the cool clear mountain stream.
You've traveled the river from end to end. Never found a true love anywhere you've been. You never broke a heart that wouldn't mend. On such a lovely summer night.
Intro:. . The American flag is tied to a fence on an overpass. With a homemade sign written in red, white and blue. And it reads "Welcome home, Jason Miller, Private First Class".
(Mark Erelli). . If my smile. Ever fails to make you swoon. If my kiss. Doesn't send you to the moon. If my arms. Hold no charms. There's no need for alarm.
(Mark Erelli). . I'm going down that pilgrim highway. Though none can say for certain where it leads. I believe someday I'll reach a place. Where all my burdens shall be released.
We are passing this world on to our kids. From the moment that they climb out of their cribs. And we try to teach them well. And show them they are loved.
