Somewhere Far Away:  Silverish Anniversary Anthology

Rounder Records, Aug 2, 2019.

1.  Both Ends of the Railroad train
(Tim Stafford-Steve Gulley/Daniel House 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 retentivity drifted back when he was nigh 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
Concluded upwardly a thousand miles abroad

Don't waste matter fond words or lamentable goodbye
Lay me down on the wide open up plain
Out beneath the quilted heaven
Where I tin can meet both ends of the train

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

They cached him at Rockville and his kind won't ascent once more
I hope his soul can find some residue
To the earth he's long forgotten, merely to me he was a friend
I nevertheless recall his last request

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

Have yous ever been left all alone similar a kid
No one happens your way
People stare through you as they laissez passer you by
Equally they bustle along through their twenty-four hour period

In the decorated courtyard there the dark-green grass you lot'll find
Water flows cool o'er the vine
Pennies shine brilliant every bit they glare in the sunday
And they happen to be mostly mine

Happen to be by and large mine
Have you ever tried to see all the stars in the sky
Looking up through the big city lights
An empty street gives you lot a chill in your soul

Equally a folio of the paper blows by
A little bird makes this big city his habitation
He could leave but he chooses to stay
You lot wish you could ask him to borrow his wings
And fly somewhere far abroad

Fly somewhere far away.

three.  Beloved Kentucky
(Shawn Lane-Gerald Ellenburg/Cat Boondocks 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 past the fireside
And my momma'south vocalisation as she kneeled in prayer

I'm leaving tonight for love Kentucky
Where wild roses bloom this time of yr
I can feel the April sun shining on me
Equally I walk the fertile footing I love and so dear

Is the corn still growing in the meadow
Where Miller plowed the ground in early on leap
Are the dogs still running through the scarlet oaks
I'thousand going back to live that fashion once again

I long to see sweet Angelina
I wonder if she nonetheless remembers me
It'southward been many years since I've seen her
In my center there'due south a place she'll always be

I'm leaving tonight for Love Kentucky
Where wild roses bloom this time of year
I can feel the summer sunday shining on me
As I walk the fertile ground I love so dear

iv.  In Texas Tonight
(Tim Stafford-Bobby Starnes/Daniel Business firm Music, BMI-It Says What It Says Music,BMI)

He'due south out on the prairie tonight, headed for Austin
She worries near him alone, and prays for him oftentimes
She said don't cover your tracks
So you tin can find your way dorsum
Not a cloud in the sky equally the coyote cries in the distance
In Texas tonight

He camped for the night 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 sweet melody as the gold harvest moon slowly rises
In Texas tonight

No one can say what volition be
In life there's no guarantees
Somewhere on the prairie this evening, this side of Austin
She worries most him solitary, and prays for him often
She'll dream of love without end
Until she sees him again
Not a cloud in the sky equally the coyote cries in the distance
In Texas tonight

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

He was born near Hale Missouri

On the mean solar day that Vicksburg brutal

And heaven hath no fury

like a male child raised upward in hell

He heard about Frank and Jesse

And how they robbed to feed the poor

But he robbed to adapt his pleasure

and killed for nothing more than

Chorus

Dead or alive read his compensation

30 notches on his gun

The meanest homo in Cochise County

picked the incorrect identify to run

 Riding out to California

Where no law had heard his name

Well-nigh the bright San Pedro Valley

Like 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 become information technology dorsum

You hope one day to have it all, simply Y'all already do

CH) Just like the sun keeps comin up and down

Some memories keep on coming back around

I don't need some other reason to believe

Like I demand anything reminding me of you

It's always love that turns your head around

Nosotros lost track of right and incorrect somehow

Who's to blame and does it matter now?

Feeling skilful correct downward to my my shoes

I've got the church bell wedding blues

Every time I hear them onetime bells ring, ring ring
For everybody else its Happy news
But all I hear is another song of how you lot proved untrue
And I become the church building bell wedding dejection

Maybe if I blow this town, change my point of view
Some might just surrender but I decline
Put the pedal to the floor merely to hear my engine roar
And drive away These Church bell wedding blues

Every time I hear them old bells ring, ring ring
For everybody else it's Happy news
but all I've got is a cleaved center and it'southward left a mighty bruise
Sounds similar The church building bell wedding ceremony blues

Every time I hear them old bells band, ring ring
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 building bell nuptials blues

It'due south my final day in the mine

Like stories my son wants to tell

tomorrow's non given

just riches are subconscious

in everyday life

And so find your own reason

* Nominated for 2008 IBMA Album of the Twelvemonth

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

Get the yard cut down and the babies fed
A one thousand thousand songs runnin' through my head
Daylight comes I'll be gone again
When does the highway e'er stop
My shoulders bare such a heavy load
Difficult to go along my thoughts all in a row
I can't slow down the life I've chose
Somehow I love the mode information technology goes
Fourth dimension moves fast and the wheels turn tedious
That's how the life of a travelin' human being goes

The winds of change are a blowin' through
Just like they're always gonna practice
They'll turn the page to another proper noun
Different film in the same ole frame
Lightning flashing up ahead
A million songs runnin' through my head
I tin can't proper noun every identify I've been
But if the Lord is willing I'll be there once again

two. Through the Window of a Train
(Tim Stafford-Steve Gulley/Daniel Business firm Music, BMI-Gulley's Curve Music, BMI)

Everybody drives the same old roads these days
Don't meet a affair, but they know the way
Every mile'due south a marker, every town'south the same
Another place to end but not to stay

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

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

So nosotros started back the way we came
Like people moving through a picture show frame
Seems the whole world's further down the track
Only I'm e'er looking back

I don't wait you all to understand
Or see the country like a railroad man
So many things yous'd never realize
Unless you saw 'em with these eyes

Birmingham to Jackson, hear the whistle telephone call
And the sunday goes downwardly like a big red ball
In my retentiveness I still see it all
Through the window of a railroad train

iii. 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 downwards in my best of dress
To take her from her father

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

I sure dear the farmer'southward girl
Dorsum in Sycamore Holler

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

Well I grabbed my knife and
both of my guns
In a loud vocalization I did call her
Upon a lightning horse I swore once again
As I left Sycamore Holler

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

It was down past the river'southward border
I see the campfire flicker
Four expressionless men lay behind
As I leave that military camp with her

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

I sure beloved the farmer'southward daughter
Downwardly 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 simple country male child
and taught him how to use a gun
After four long years in service,
two tours in Vietnam
The land that he served so well
doesn't seem to requite a damn
That he's a homeless man

He has a son, lives in Fifty.A.
He hasn't spoke to him in twenty years,
he merely 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
Now he has everything he owns
in a worn-out shopping cart
He's never begged for anything,
he just doesn't have the centre
He's but a homeless human

Now in this land of plenty
where so many accept information technology all,
He sleeps in an alley one-half a cake from city hall

They found him there 1 common cold November dark
Though he'd won so many battles,
this time he'd lost the fight
No ane seemed to intendance that he was gone
They laid him in a pauper'southward grave
with a tiny little stone
As a young human being and his female parent
saturday alone and cried,
Belongings the Silver Star medallion
someone constitute in that location by his side
He was a homeless man

He was just a homeless homo

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

Where did the morning go?
I meant to practise much more with this life
I was born a articulate and sunny twenty-four hours
Now evening shadows autumn my way
Where did the morning go?

It was dawn when my babies cried
Now they're able to walk out on their own
I've had a family that I've e'er loved
And I fabricated peace with my God in a higher place
But where did the morning get?

I've held hands that I loved to hold
Only an evenin' came when I had to permit 'em go
I still write the words down to my songs
But it'southward different voices that sing along
Where did the morning time go?

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

Nosotros show upwardly every morning,
our uniforms are pressed
All spit and polish, we take to expect our best
This message that we carry
is a heavy load to bear
For those who pay the price with cede
Nosotros have to show we care

Everybody has a duty, a way they can smoothen
The ones who become 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 intermission the news to them

We're the two soldiers no one wants to see
In a plain black sedan
rolling slowly down the street
Past the toys and the bikes
beneath the maple copse
Where fading yellowish ribbons
moving ridge gently in the cakewalk
A loved one's in a amend identify
They won't be dorsum no more
At present there's ii soldiers at the door

Sometimes they see us coming
and fall down on their knees
Tears are alluvion,
crying "no, God, please."
Sometimes they just stand up there, silent as a stone
With no surprise in their eyes
Similar they knew information technology all forth

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

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

(Instrumental)

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

Time is a funny thing you lot know
No matter where y'all are information technology 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 state of mind it's said
Four walls and a roof inside your head
To some it might seem strange,
but I'm too damn old to change
Now the warden says the land requires my bed

It's been 50 years since they sent me here
I had xl-9 more to go
But a calendar week from today
They'll open this gate for good
And I'll accept to walk away
But Lord knows I'd stay if I could

I won't final a mean solar day out there alone
This prison cell'south the just home I've known
The globe exterior has changed,
just the one inside's the same
I'll have to find a way to become dorsum habitation

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

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

It's a cowboy'due south addiction, the smell and the friction
Of the rope when information technology'due south dallied and taut
Every year it gets rougher,
but her love is tougher
Than any steer I've e'er fought

It's more than a livin', it'south been my whole life
Taken and given the pleasure and strife…
Just I've known all along that this mean solar day would come up
Guess my ropin' days are washed

In that location'south headers and heelers, addicts and dealers
And Crown to encompass the fear
I been a saint and a sinner, a loser and winner
So where do I become from here?

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

10. Blues on Dejection
(Tim Stafford-Robert Thousand. Starnes-Jon Weisberger/Daniel Business firm Music, BMI-It Says What It Says Music, BMI-Utilise Your Words Music, BMI)

Blues on blues, pain on hurting
Nothing to do but watch it pelting
Tears fall down from missing you, oh Lord
Color you gone and color me bluish on blue

Five years ago when we first met
I never dreamed that I'd regret
Loving you the way I do, oh Lord
Y'all fell for another and left me blue on blue

Running out of tears, running out of heart
Too tired to make another start
Don't wanna discover somebody new, oh Lord
Cause I'm non over you, I'm bluish on blue

The day may come when I'll try once more
With a little luck, side by side time I'll win
When you got nothing, you lot got aught to lose, oh Lord
When you striking rock bottom there'southward cipher only blues
on dejection

Blues on blues, pain on pain
Zero to do merely lookout man it rain
Tears fall downwards from missing y'all, oh Lord
Color you lot gone and color me blue on blueish

11. 5-Bottom Gunkhole
(Shawn Lane/True cat Town Music, BMI)

If I can find a river or a fast lilliputian stream
Or a big ole high mount
with a little lake in between

A 5-lesser boat, a v-bottom boat
A 5-bottom boat'll take 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 go through

A v-bottom gunkhole, a five-bottom boat
A v-bottom boat'll accept you
where y'all want to go

Cars, planes and trains can take you
almost anywhere
But a v-lesser gunkhole is how I'd rather
go there

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

One solar day I'll find the stream that leads upward to
my Savior off-white
I'll ride in a v-bottom boat to encounter him there

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

You go along saying things I don't sympathize
I try real hard to never allow it show
Your sophisticated ways have left me in a daze
I judge I'grand just some other gravel in the road

My friends all tried to tell me when I met you
You're needn't think y'all'll always continue that daughter
They said your high-course taste would lay my
life to waste product
And I'd never be accepted in your world

I've started to believe what they've been maxim
It's condign articulate our feelings
aren't the same
You keep trying to change me
from what I cull to exist
But you gotta know that
I don't play that game
