Rounder Records, Aug 2, 2019.

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

I roomed with him in Rockville in 1925
He was doing life and I was doing time
His retention 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
Concluded upward a one thousand miles away

Don't waste matter fond words or sad goodbye
Lay me downwards on the wide open patently
Out beneath the quilted sky
Where I can come across both ends of the train

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

They cached him at Rockville and his kind won't rising again
I hope his soul can find some rest
To the world he'south long forgotten, simply to me he was a friend
I still recall his final request

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

Have you ever been left all alone like a kid
No one happens your way
People stare through you as they pass you lot by
As they hurry along through their twenty-four hours

In the decorated courtyard there the green grass you'll notice
Water flows absurd o'er the vine
Pennies shine vivid as they glare in the sun
And they happen to exist mostly mine

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

As a folio of the paper blows by
A piffling bird makes this big city his home
He could leave but he chooses to stay
You lot wish you could inquire him to infringe his wings
And fly somewhere far away

Fly somewhere far abroad.

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

I miss the homeplace on the hillside
And the odor of apple blossoms in the air
I miss daddy's stories by the fireside
And my momma's vocalisation equally she kneeled in prayer

I'one thousand leaving this night for love Kentucky
Where wild roses blossom this fourth dimension of year
I can experience the April sun shining on me
Every bit I walk the fertile ground I dearest so 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'one thousand going back to live that way again

I long to see sweetness Angelina
I wonder if she still remembers me
It's been many years since I've seen her
In my heart there's a identify she'll e'er exist

I'm leaving tonight for Love Kentucky
Where wild roses flower this time of yr
I can feel the summer lord's day shining on me
As I walk the fertile footing I love so dear

iv.  In Texas This evening
(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 well-nigh him solitary, and prays for him frequently
She said don't cover your tracks
And so you can find your way back
Not a deject 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 wife back at home and the life he would give her
He said information technology wouldn't exist long
Until these hard times are gone
He hums a sweet melody equally the gilt harvest moon slowly rises
In Texas tonight

No one can say what will be
In life at that place's no guarantees
Somewhere on the prairie this evening, this side of Austin
She worries most him alone, and prays for him often
She'll dream of love without end
Until she sees him again
Not a cloud in the heaven as the coyote cries in the distance
In Texas this night

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

He was born near Unhurt Missouri

On the day that Vicksburg roughshod

And heaven hath no fury

like a boy raised up in hell

He heard nigh Frank and Jesse

And how they robbed to feed the poor

Only he robbed to suit his pleasure

and killed for nothing more than

Chorus

Dead or alive read his bounty

30 notches on his gun

The meanest man in Cochise County

picked the incorrect place to run

 Riding out to California

Where no police force had heard his name

Near 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

Just he'll never get it back

Some other day only like the last

I can see my future living in the past

Same ol' chapter, dissimilar verse

Ain't No Ameliorate, Own't no worse

Ain't getting no younger, to the lowest degree I'm getting older

Got the weight of the earth on my shoulders

Need to put my problems up on the shelf

stop feeling sorry for myself

You're a swain, all you lot got is time

That's what I thought when I was in my natural prime

Keep digging that pigsty, one day y'all'll see

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

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

If you only sign these papers, y'all'll be a wealthy man

Buy a mansion on a hilltop, Just relish the view

The old man looked out in the distance and said, "I already practice"

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

I still odour the honeysuckle, taste the water on my tongue

In my eyes, the skies are always Carolina blue

You lot say I could live anywhere I desire,

I already exercise

3) He climbed back on his Farmall, watched large money drive away

He withal had things to practice and it was manner upwards in the 24-hour interval

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

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

You promise ane day to have it all, but You already practice

CH) Only similar the sun keeps comin up and down

Some memories go along on coming back around

I don't need another reason to believe

Like I need anything reminding me of yous

It hurts like hell when it comes crashing downwards

We lost rails of correct and wrong somehow

Who'due 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 manner likewise long

I wish that I could shut the book, and permit the story end

But every time I plow the page, you lot're turning upwardly again

Its gone and will rise once again no more

I've got the church building bell nuptials blues

Every time I hear them old bells ring, ring ring
For everybody else its Happy news
Simply all I hear is another vocal of how you proved untrue
And I get the church bell wedding dejection

Mayhap if I accident this town, modify my point of view
Some might merely requite up but I refuse
Put the pedal to the floor simply to hear my engine roar
And bulldoze away These Church building bell nuptials blues

For everybody else it's Happy news
just all I've got is a broken heart and it's left a mighty bruise

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

Go the yard cut downwards and the babies fed
A million songs runnin' through my caput
Daylight comes I'll be gone again
When does the highway e'er cease
My shoulders blank such a heavy load
Hard to keep my thoughts all in a row
I tin can't wearisome down the life I've chose
Somehow I dear the way it goes
Time moves fast and the wheels plow slow
That'due south how the life of a travelin' man goes

The winds of change are a blowin' through
Just like they're always gonna exercise
They'll plow the page to another proper noun
Different picture in the same ole frame
Lightning flashing up ahead
A one thousand thousand songs runnin' through my head
I can't name every identify I've been
Only if the Lord is willing I'll be there again

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

Everybody drives the same old roads these days
Don't see a matter, but they know the style
Every mile's a marker, every boondocks's the same
Another place to terminate but not to stay

Daddy was a brakeman on the L&N
Sometimes he'd let me ride along with him
No matter where we'd finish along the mode
Everybody knew his proper name

A different story down every line
People workin' difficult just to live and die
I saw information technology all once upon a time
Through the window of a train

Then nosotros started back the manner we came
Similar people moving through a motion picture frame
Seems the whole world's further down the track
But I'k ever looking dorsum

I don't await yous all to empathize
Or run into the state similar a railroad homo
And 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 downward like a big ruby ball
In my retentiveness I withal come across it all
Through the window of a railroad train

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

It was downwardly by the forked stream
Out in Sycamore Holler
I went downwards in my all-time of dress
To take her from her father

With pilus downwards to her waist
The colour of strawberries
Downward by the forked stream
By night autumn we would marry

I certain love the farmer's daughter
Dorsum in Sycamore Holler

On a horse seventeen hands high
He rode in Sherman 'southward regular 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 equus caballus I swore in one case more than
Equally I left Sycamore Holler

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

It was down past the river'south border
I see the campfire flicker
4 dead men lay behind
As I go out that campsite 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 e'er exist together

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

four. Homeless Human being
(Wayne Taylor/Twoscore WAT Music, BMI)

They called him Skeet, his proper 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 boy
and taught him how to utilise a gun
Afterward four long years in service,
two tours in Vietnam
The country that he served so well
doesn't seem to give a damn
That he'southward a homeless human

He has a son, lives in 50.A.
He hasn't spoke to him in xx years,
he just don't know what to say
He had a loving wife, she was his right manus
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'southward never begged for anything,
he but doesn't take the middle
He'south only a homeless man

Now in this land of plenty
where so many accept it all,
He sleeps in an alley half a block from city hall

They found him at that place one cold November night
Though he'd won so many battles,
this time 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 niggling stone
As a boyfriend and his female parent
sat lonely and cried,
Property the Silver Star medallion
someone found there by his side
He was a homeless man

He was just a homeless man

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

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

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

I've held easily that I loved to hold
Just an evenin' came when I had to permit 'em become
I still write the words downward to my songs
But it'southward different voices that sing along
Where did the forenoon go?

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

Nosotros show up every morning,
our uniforms are pressed
All spit and smoothen, we have to look our all-time
This bulletin that we carry
is a heavy load to bear
For those who pay the cost with sacrifice
We have to show nosotros care

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'due south upwards to me and Sergeant Jack
To pause the news to them

Nosotros're the ii 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 trees
Where fading yellow ribbons
wave gently in the cakewalk
A loved one's in a meliorate place
They won't be back no more
Now in that location's two soldiers at the door

Sometimes they run across the states coming
and fall down on their knees
Tears are overflowing,
crying "no, God, please."
Sometimes they simply stand there, silent every bit a rock
With no surprise in their optics
Like they knew it all along

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

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)

Fourth dimension is a funny thing you know
No matter where you lot are it comes and goes
I've lived my life ane day at a time
Time is all I've had and all I know

Domicile is a state of mind information technology'due south said
4 walls and a roof inside your head
To some it might seem strange,
but I'thousand besides damn sometime to change
Now the warden says the state requires my bed

It's been l years since they sent me hither
I had forty-nine more to become
Only a calendar week from today
They'll open this gate for good
And I'll have to walk abroad
Merely Lord knows I'd stay if I could

I won't final a day out at that place alone
This prison prison cell's the merely habitation I've known
The world outside has changed,
just the ane inside's the aforementioned
I'll have to detect a way to become 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 equally I left Tucumcari
With iv hours to make Santa Iron
I know she'southward been hopin' I'll quit this damn ropin'
Simply that'due south ane thing that she'd never say

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

It'south more than a livin', it's been my whole life
Taken and given the pleasure and strife…
But I've known all along that this day would come
Approximate my ropin' days are done

There's 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 get from here?

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

Don't wanna find somebody new, oh Lord
Cause I'g not over you, I'thousand blue on blue

The twenty-four hour period may come when I'll try once more
With a little luck, adjacent fourth dimension I'll win
When you got nix, yous got null to lose, oh Lord
When you lot striking rock bottom in that location'southward cipher but blues
on blues

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

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

If I can detect a river or a fast piddling stream
Or a big ole high mountain
with a picayune lake in between

A v-bottom gunkhole, a v-bottom boat
A v-bottom boat'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 v-lesser gunkhole and
you'll get through

A 5-lesser boat, a v-lesser boat
A v-bottom boat'll take you
where you want to become

Cars, planes and trains can accept yous
almost anywhere
Just a 5-bottom boat is how I'd rather
get there

A v-bottom boat, a five-bottom gunkhole
A v-bottom boat'll have me
where I desire to get

One twenty-four hour period I'll notice the stream that leads up to
my Savior fair
I'll ride in a v-bottom boat to meet him in that location

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

Y'all keep proverb things I don't empathize
I attempt real hard to never let it bear witness
Your sophisticated ways have left me in a daze
I gauge I'1000 just some other gravel in the road

My friends all tried to tell me when I met you
You're needn't think you'll always keep that girl
They said your high-grade gustation 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
Information technology'due south becoming articulate our feelings
aren't the same
You keep trying to change me
from what I cull to be
But you gotta know that
I don't play that game
