Somewhere Far Away:  Silvery Anniversary Anthology

Rounder Records, Aug 2, 2019.

1.  Both Ends of the 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 fourth dimension
His retentiveness drifted back when he was near 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 thousand miles away

Don't waste material fond words or pitiful bye
Lay me downward on the wide open manifestly
Out below the quilted sky
Where I tin can run into both ends of the railroad train

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

They cached him at Rockville and his kind won't rise once again
I hope his soul can notice some rest
To the globe he'southward long forgotten, but to me he was a friend
I still think his final asking

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

Accept you ever been left all solitary like a child
No i happens your fashion
People stare through you equally they pass you by
Equally they bustle along through their day

In the busy courtyard at that place the greenish grass yous'll discover
Water flows cool o'er the vine
Pennies shine vivid as they glare in the lord's day
And they happen to exist more often than not mine

Happen to exist mostly mine
Take you ever tried to encounter all the stars in the sky
Looking up through the big city lights
An empty street gives you a chill in your soul

As a folio of the paper blows past
A fiddling bird makes this big urban center 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 away

Fly somewhere far away.

three.  Dearest 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 vocalism as she kneeled in prayer

I'm leaving tonight for dearest Kentucky
Where wild roses bloom this time of year
I can experience the April dominicus shining on me
As I walk the fertile ground I love so dear

Is the corn still growing in the meadow
Where Miller plowed the ground in early on spring
Are the dogs even so running through the crimson oaks
I'thou going back to live that mode again

I long to see sugariness Angelina
I wonder if she still remembers me
It's been many years since I've seen her
In my heart there's a place she'll ever be

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

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

He'southward out on the prairie tonight, headed for Austin
She worries about him alone, and prays for him often
She said don't embrace your tracks
And so you can find your manner back
Non a cloud in the sky as the coyote cries in the altitude
In Texas tonight

He camped for the night on the banks of the large Brazos River
And he dreamed of his wife back at abode and the life he would requite 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 tonight

No one tin say what volition be
In life there's no guarantees
Somewhere on the prairie tonight, this side of Austin
She worries about him solitary, and prays for him oft
She'll dream of dearest without end
Until she sees him again
Non a cloud in the heaven as the coyote cries in the distance
In Texas tonight

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

He was built-in near Hale Missouri

On the day that Vicksburg savage

And heaven hath no fury

like a boy raised upwardly in hell

He heard about Frank and Jesse

And how they robbed to feed the poor

Just he robbed to suit his pleasure

and killed for aught more than

Chorus

Dead or live read his bounty

xxx notches on his gun

The meanest man in Cochise Canton

picked the incorrect place to run

 Riding out to California

Where no police had heard his proper noun

Almost 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 back

6.  Orville's Webb
(Jason Burleson / Terrible Two's Music-BMI)

7.   Ain't No Meliorate, Ain't No Worse
(Wayne Taylor-Tim Stafford/Twoscore WAT Music-BMI, Daniel Firm Music-BMI)

Some other day only like the last

I tin can see my future living in the by

Same ol' chapter, different verse

Own't No Better, Ain't no worse

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

Got the weight of the globe on my shoulders

Need to put my problems upwards on the shelf

stop feeling pitiful for myself

Y'all're a young man, all you got is time

That'southward what I idea when I was in my natural prime

Keep digging that hole, one day you'll see

Buddy Yous'll wind upwardly just like me

eight.  A Place I've Never Seen
(Shawn Lane-Gerald Ellenburg/Cat Town Music-BMI, Wadako Publishing-BMI)

9.   I Already Do
(Tim Stafford-Steve Gulley/Daniel Business firm Music, BMI-Gulley'due south Curve Music,BMI)

1) He could tell the car was comin' from the grit a mile away

He climbed down off the tractor, without too much to say

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

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

2) The human in the suit merely smiled and said "I don't think y'all empathise."

If you but sign these papers, you'll exist a wealthy man

Purchase a mansion on a hilltop, Just bask the view

The old human looked out in the distance and said, "I already exercise"

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

I nevertheless smell the honeysuckle, taste the water on my tongue

In my optics, the skies are always Carolina blue

You say I could alive anywhere I desire,

I already practise

3) He climbed back on his Farmall, watched big money bulldoze away

He still had things to practise and it was way up in the day

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

Never gave some other idea to all the things he might have missed

TAG) If y'all have a life that's unproblematic, someone whose love is true

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

Don't worry about tomorrow

Annie said Laura, Tom said to me

Meet him on the hillside neath the sycamore trees

Go to him Laura, and both run away

and killed Laura Foster with a bone handle knife

She cached her torso in a common cold shallow grave

along with her secret, in the Wilkes Canton dirt

Now Sheriff Bob Grayson was a difficult jealous man

All that he wanted was young Laura'southward manus

His heart was broken, his caput full of rage

when he blamed Tom Dula, non a question was raised

He spoke not a discussion, in defence of his life

They hung him by the neck on the last day of June

And His final request was an old dabble tune

2. Remind Me of You
(Tim Stafford-Craig Market/Daniel House Music, BMI-Drop D Publishing, BMI)

I started slowly similar I always exercise

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 chance

Jumped in that pickup that I bought for you

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

Turned on the radio and much to my surprise

At that place ain't no mode you know, to Hide Your Lying Optics

CH) Just like the dominicus keeps comin upwards and down

Some memories continue on coming back around

I don't demand another reason to believe

Similar I need anything reminding me of you

Information technology'south ever love that turns your caput effectually

It hurts like hell when information technology comes crashing down

We lost runway of right and wrong somehow

Who's to blame and does it matter now?

We had our moment but it's come up and gone

A ghost that's haunted me for way also long

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

Just every fourth dimension I turn the folio, you lot're turning up again

5.A Change of Faith in Tennessee
(Tim Stafford-Steve Gulley/Daniel Business firm Music, BMI-Gulleys Curve Music, BMI)

5) I used to believe every line, used to hang on every word
girl, If y'all said it, it was true
At present the things i took for gospel merely get more than absurd
And the Truth is just another point of view

CH) In Montana, the mountains are forever
 bluish skies as far as you tin run across
In California at that place's no changing of the seasons
Simply at that place's been a alter of Faith in Tennessee

V) I woke up built-in once more this forenoon, finally saw the calorie-free
And and then many other things I couldn't  run into
 a make new Book of Revelation gave me back my sight
there's been a modify of Faith in Tennessee

Br) you were my  redemption just the cost was way too high
 salvation dont mean nothin til it's  gratuitous

V) I made my peace with my maker, at present I'm ready to move on
Roll the stone across the door
The trunk of our dear is laying in the tomb
Its gone and volition rise again no more

7.Church Bell Nuptials Blues
(Tim Stafford-Jon Weisberger/Daniel Firm Music, BMI-Use Your Words Music, BMI)

Walking downwards the boulevard on a Dominicus afternoon
Feeling good right downwardly to my my shoes
Then I heard 'em ringing out, where I'one thousand headin, there's no doubt
I've got the church bong wedding blues

Every fourth dimension I hear them old bells ring, band ring
For everybody else its Happy news
But all I hear is another song of how you proved untrue
And I get the church building bell wedding blues

Perchance if I blow this town, change my indicate of view
Some might only give upwardly but I decline
Put the pedal to the floor simply to hear my engine roar
And drive away These Church bell wedding dejection

Every time I hear them old bells ring, ring ring
For everybody else it's Happy news
but all I've got is a broken heart and it'south left a mighty bruise
Sounds similar The church bong wedding blues

Every time I hear them old 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 bong wedding blues

7.My Last Day in the Mine
(Tim Stafford-Wayne Taylor/Daniel House Music, BMI-Forty WAT Music, BMI)

V1) It's my last day on the job, after forty years of loading coal I knew 1 day I'd face the end

Seems like merely yesterday, a straight backed boy barely twenty i who didn't have to strain to catch his current of air

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

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

CH) it's my  concluding day in the mine
I never thought at that place would come up a time
Id never get dorsum underground, lay my dinner bucket downward
It's my last 24-hour interval in the mine

V3) the super said to me, today we're gonna go on y'all off the line, but stay backside

Well I know that'south how it goes, just I'd rather throw my marker in the car i concluding fourth dimension Would be and then fine

Did I hear yous say that he was conveying the sky upon his dorsum?

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

But yous inappreciably ever saw him playing all lone

Some were abandoned, some abused, some neglected, others used

But every Mon's child felt at domicile, never alone

But she tells you things a kid should never know

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

It's a wonder she's standing here today, God made a way

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

A tranquility home merely never was their way

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

Truth is they merely couldn't turn 'em down

Through the Window of a Train

Rounder Records, 2008

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

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

Get the chiliad cutting down and the babies fed
A million songs runnin' through my head
Daylight comes I'll be gone again
When does the highway ever end
My shoulders blank such a heavy load
Hard to go on my thoughts all in a row
I can't slow down the life I've chose
Somehow I love the manner it goes
Time moves fast and the wheels turn slow
That'due south how the life of a travelin' man goes

The winds of change are a blowin' through
Just like they're e'er gonna do
They'll turn the page to some other proper noun
Different picture in the same ole frame
Lightning flashing up ahead
A 1000000 songs runnin' through my caput
I can't name every place I've been
Simply if the Lord is willing I'll exist there again

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

Everybody drives the same onetime roads these days
Don't see a matter, only they know the way
Every mile'due south a marker, every town's the same
Another place to terminate simply not to stay

Daddy was a brakeman on the Fifty&N
Sometimes he'd let me ride along with him
No affair where nosotros'd stop along the way
Everybody knew his proper noun

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

Then we started back the way we came
Similar people moving through a picture frame
Seems the whole world'southward further downward the rail
But I'm always looking back

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

Birmingham to Jackson, hear the whistle phone call
And the sun goes down similar a big ruddy ball
In my retentiveness I still encounter it 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 dress
To take her from her father

With pilus downwardly to her waist
The color of strawberries
Down by the forked stream
Past night fall we would ally

I sure beloved the farmer's daughter
Back in Sycamore Holler

On a equus caballus seventeen hands loftier
He rode in Sherman 's regular army
To Atlanta town confronting her volition
He took my woman from me

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

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

It was down by the river'south edge
I see the bivouac flicker
Four dead men lay backside
Every bit I leave that campsite with her

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

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

4. Homeless Human being
(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 state boy
and taught him how to use a gun
After iv long years in service,
two tours in Vietnam
The country that he served and so well
doesn't seem to give a damn
That he'due south a homeless man

He has a son, lives in L.A.
He hasn't spoke to him in 20 years,
he just don't know what to say
He had a loving married woman, 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 annihilation,
he just doesn't have the centre
He's just a homeless man

Now in this land of enough
where and so many have information technology all,
He sleeps in an alley half a block from urban center hall

They found him at that place 1 common cold November night
Though he'd won so many battles,
this fourth dimension he'd lost the fight
No one seemed to intendance that he was gone
They laid him in a pauper's grave
with a tiny picayune stone
As a young human being and his mother
sat alone and cried,
Holding the Silvery Star medallion
someone found there by his side
He was a homeless human

He was only a homeless homo

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

Where did the morning become?
I meant to do much more with this life
I was born a clear and sunny day
Now evening shadows fall my style
Where did the morning go?

Information technology 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 hands that I loved to agree
Only an evenin' came when I had to let 'em become
I notwithstanding write the words down to my songs
Simply it's different voices that sing along
Where did the morning go?

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

We show up every morning,
our uniforms are pressed
All spit and smoothen, nosotros have to wait our best
This message that nosotros carry
is a heavy load to bear
For those who pay the price with cede
We accept to testify we intendance

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

Nosotros're the two soldiers no i wants to see
In a manifestly blackness sedan
rolling slowly down the street
Past the toys and the bikes
beneath the maple trees
Where fading xanthous ribbons
wave gently in the breeze
A loved ane'southward in a ameliorate place
They won't be back no more
At present at that place's 2 soldiers at the door

Sometimes they run across u.s. coming
and fall down on their knees
Tears are alluvion,
crying "no, God, please."
Sometimes they just stand there, silent equally a stone
With no surprise in their eyes
Like they knew it all along

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

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)

Fourth dimension is a funny affair you know
No matter where you are it comes and goes
I've lived my life one twenty-four hours at a time
Time is all I've had and all I know

Domicile is a country of mind information technology'southward said
Four walls and a roof inside your caput
To some it might seem strange,
but I'm too damn old to change
Now the warden says the land requires my bed

Information technology's been 50 years since they sent me here
I had forty-nine more to get
Merely a week from today
They'll open this gate for good
And I'll take to walk away
But Lord knows I'd stay if I could

I won't last a day out at that place solitary
This prison house prison cell's the only home I've known
The earth outside has changed,
just the ane inside'due south the same
I'll have to notice a manner to get back home

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

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

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

It's more than a livin', it's been my whole life
Taken and given the pleasure and strife…
But I've known all forth that this 24-hour interval would come
Guess my ropin' days are done

At that place'southward headers and heelers, addicts and dealers
And Crown to cover the fearfulness
I been a saint and a sinner, a loser and winner
So where do I go from here?

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

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

Dejection on blues, pain on hurting
Cipher to do just sentry it pelting
Tears fall downwardly from missing you, oh Lord
Color you gone and colour me blue on blue

Five years agone when we first met
I never dreamed that I'd regret
Loving you lot the way I do, oh Lord
You roughshod for another and left me blue on blueish

Running out of tears, running out of center
Besides tired to make another start
Don't wanna discover somebody new, oh Lord
Cause I'm not over yous, I'one thousand blue on bluish

The mean solar day may come when I'll attempt again
With a little luck, next time I'll win
When you got nothing, y'all got nothing to lose, oh Lord
When you lot hit rock bottom at that place's cypher but dejection
on blues

Blues on blues, pain on pain
Goose egg to practise but watch it rain
Tears autumn downward from missing you, oh Lord
Color you lot gone and color me blue on blue

eleven. V-Lesser Boat
(Shawn Lane/Cat Town Music, BMI)

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

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

Ol' Noah cried out to the Lord,
"God what shall I do?"
God said to build a 5-lesser gunkhole and
you'll get through

A v-lesser gunkhole, a v-bottom boat
A v-bottom boat'll accept yous
where you desire to go

Cars, planes and trains can take yous
virtually anywhere
But a v-bottom boat is how I'd rather
get there

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

One twenty-four hours I'll discover the stream that leads upwardly to
my Savior off-white
I'll ride in a v-bottom boat to meet him there

12. But Another Gravel in the Route
(Wayne Taylor/40 WAT Music, BMI)

Yous keep saying things I don't empathize
I try real hard to never let it bear witness
Your sophisticated means accept left me in a stupor
I judge I'm simply another gravel in the road

My friends all tried to tell me when I met you
You're needn't think y'all'll ever proceed that daughter
They said your high-class gustatory modality would lay my
life to waste
And I'd never be accepted in your world

I've started to believe what they've been proverb
It's condign clear our feelings
aren't the same
You proceed trying to change me
from what I choose to be
Simply you gotta know that
I don't play that game
