Ill Take You Up Again Lyrics in a Church Bell

Somewhere Far Away:  Silver Anniversary Album

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 time
His memory 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 thousand miles away

Don't waste fond words or sad goodbye
Lay me down on the wide open 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's all moved on without me but I miss the older ways
And I know it can never be the same

They buried him at Rockville and his kind won't rise again
I hope his soul can find some rest
To the world he's long forgotten, but to me he was a friend
I still recall 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 like a child
No one happens your way
People stare through you as they pass you by
As they hurry along through their day

In the busy courtyard there the green grass you'll find
Water flows cool o'er the vine
Pennies shine bright as they glare in the sun
And they happen to be mostly mine

Happen to be mostly 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 a chill in your soul

As a page of the paper blows by
A little bird makes this big city his home
He could leave but he chooses to stay
You wish you could ask him to borrow his wings
And fly somewhere far away

Fly somewhere far away.

3.  Dear 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's stories by the fireside
And my momma's voice as she kneeled in prayer

I'm leaving tonight for dear Kentucky
Where wild roses bloom this time of year
I can feel the April sun 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 spring
Are the dogs still running through the red oaks
I'm going back to live that way again

I long to see sweet 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 always be

I'm 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 so dear

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

He's out on the prairie tonight, headed for Austin
She worries about him alone, and prays for him often
She said don't cover your tracks
So you can find your way back
Not a cloud in the sky as 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 it wouldn't be long
Until these hard times are gone
He hums a sweet tune as the gold harvest moon slowly rises
In Texas tonight

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

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

He was born near Hale Missouri

On the day that Vicksburg fell

And heaven hath no fury

like a boy raised up in hell

He heard about Frank and Jesse

And how they robbed to feed the poor

But he robbed to suit his pleasure

and killed for nothing more

Chorus

Dead or alive read his bounty

30 notches on his gun

The meanest man in Cochise County

picked the wrong place to run

 Riding out to California

Where no law 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

But he'll never get it back

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

Instrumental.

7.   Ain't No Better, Ain't No Worse
(Wayne Taylor-Tim Stafford/Forty WAT Music-BMI, Daniel House Music-BMI)

Another day just like the last

I can see my future living in the past

Same ol' chapter, different verse

Ain't No Better, Ain't no worse

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

Got the weight of the world on my shoulders

Need to put my problems up on the shelf

stop feeling sorry for myself

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

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

Keep digging that hole, one day you'll see

Buddy You'll wind up just like me

8.  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 House Music, BMI-Gulley's Curve Music,BMI)

1) He could tell the car was comin' from the dust 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 man in the suit just smiled and said "I don't think you understand."

If you just sign these papers, you'll be a wealthy man

Buy a mansion on a hilltop, Just enjoy the view

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

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

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

In my eyes, the skies are always Carolina blue

You say I could live anywhere I want,

I already do

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

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

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

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

TAG) If you have a life that's simple, someone whose love is true

You hope one day to have it all, but You already do

2. If Lonesome Don't Kill Me
(Tim Stafford-Bobby Starnes/Daniel House Music, BMI-It Says What It Says Music,BMI)

Chorus

The whiskey's for the hard times

From here it's all uphill

So if lonesome don't kill me

Maybe the whiskey will

Maybe the whiskey will

Verse

Well she left me without warning

Packed it up and gone

She'll hit Galax by morning

Time for moving on

Fare thee well, so long

Verse

Well you know This ain't my first time

and she won't be the last

All I need is a reason

George Dickel And a glass

it's coming on me fast

Verse

I'll be over her tomorrow

But hurtin just the same

Cause tonight I'm drowning sorrow

And blowing out a flame

Just like a hurricane

2. Last Time I'll Ever Leave This Town
(Tim Stafford-Jon Weisberger/Daniel House Music, BMI-Use Your Words Music,BMI)

Chorus

I'm leaving this town for the last time

Don't look for me cause I won't be around

I should have been smarter the first time

It's The last time I'll ever leave this town

Verse

The first time was only a warning

Trouble's coming down the line

It moved in to stay come the morning

So I'm leaving this cold town behind

Verse

I'm wishin' that I'd never met her

And wonderin' if I'll ever learn

The next time is bound to be better

One day it's gonna be My turn

9. Wilkes County Clay
(Tim Stafford-Bobby Starnes/Daniel House Music, BMI-It Says What It Says Music,BMI)

Verse

In North Carolina, in the County of Wilkes

There's a tale of deception, murder and guilt

I'll spare no compassion, the truth I will tell

Let God alone judge me, this side of hell

Verse

Miss Annie and Laura, the fairest of fair

Cast a spell on all suitors, with beauty so rare

One was jealous, the other naive

One planned to marry, one to deceive

Chorus

Tom won't you play your fiddle?

play a joyful song

Don't worry about tomorrow

Cause tomorrow you'll be gone

Verse

Annie said Laura, Tom said to me

Meet him on the hillside neath the sycamore trees

just after midnight this last day of May

Go to him Laura, and both run away

Verse

She hid like a panther in the black of the night

and killed Laura Foster with a bone handle knife

She buried her body in a cold shallow grave

along with her secret, in the Wilkes County clay

Verse

Now Sheriff Bob Grayson was a hard jealous man

All that he wanted was young Laura's hand

His heart was broken, his head full of rage

when he blamed Tom Dula, not a question was raised

Verse

In the village of Statesville, his case quickly tried

He spoke not a word, in defense of his life

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

And His final request was an old fiddle tune

11. She Ain't Worth It
(Tim Stafford-Steve Gulley/Daniel House Music, BMI-Gulleys Curve Music,BMI)

1) Thought I'd give it one more try

But she was setting me up to say goodbye

Just like this teardrop in my eye

she ain't worth it

2) Picked mysef up off the floor

Watched her walk right out the door

Reached for my old 44

but she ain't worth it

3) But that was a long time ago

Now I've taught myself just to let it go

Just sit and bathe in the afterglow

Cause she ain't worth it

CH) She ain't worth the worry man

Better get out now while you can

Get that girl off your mind

boy that reason ain't got no rhyme

Ain't no need to waste your time

she ain't worth it

4) Every day a brand new fight

She'll break your heart just for spite

Something here don't add up right

She ain't worth it

5) You might think I had it made

but you don't know the price I paid

Let's just call a spade a spade

boys she ain't worth it

6) Before the ring was off her hand

She was making plans with another man

I hope by now you understand

She ain't worth it

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

I started slowly like I always do

Day old coffee 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

There ain't no way you know, to Hide Your Lying Eyes

CH) Just like the sun keeps comin up and down

Some memories keep on coming back around

I don't need another reason to believe

Like I need anything reminding me of you

It's always love that turns your head around

It hurts like hell when it comes crashing down

We lost track of right and wrong somehow

Who's to blame and does it matter now?

We had our moment but it's come and gone

A ghost that's haunted me for way too long

I wish that I could close the book, and let the story end

But every time I turn the page, you're turning up again

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

V) I used to believe every line, used to hang on every word
girl, If you said it, it was true
Now the things i took for gospel just get more absurd
And the Truth is just another point of view

CH) In Montana, the mountains are forever
 blue skies as far as you can see
In California there's no changing of the seasons
But there's been a change of Faith in Tennessee

V) I woke up born again this morning, finally saw the light
And so many other things I couldn't  see
 a brand new Book of Revelation gave me back my sight
there's been a change of Faith in Tennessee

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

V) I made my peace with my maker, now I'm ready to move on
Roll the stone across the door
The body of our love is laying in the tomb
Its gone and will rise again no more

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

Walking down the boulevard on a Sunday afternoon
Feeling good right down to my my shoes
Then I heard 'em ringing out, where I'm headin, there's no doubt
I've got the church bell wedding blues

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

Maybe if I blow this town, change my point of view
Some might just give up but I refuse
Put the pedal to the floor just 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 broken heart and it's left a mighty bruise
Sounds like The church bell wedding blues

Every time I hear them old bells ring, ring ring
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 bell 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 one day I'd face the end

Seems like only yesterday, a straight backed boy barely twenty one who didn't have to strain to catch his wind

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

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

CH) it's my  last day in the mine
I never thought there would come a time
Id never go back underground, lay my dinner bucket down
It's my last day in the mine

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

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

3. Bluebird Days
(Tim Stafford-Craig Market/Daniel House Music, BMI-Drop D Publishing, BMI)

CH) Bluebird Days, the way I remember them

Fly  fly away at summer's end

remember my friend

Till they come around again

1) Frozen in my memory, the day that I met you

I saw the end of winter in a flash of powder blue

Did I hear you say that he was carrying the sky upon his back?

2) Now the nights are getting colder and the days are not so long

I think about you every time I hear that song

I'll be waiting if you find your way back home to me again

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

1) Heather and Billy only had one son of their own

But you hardly ever saw him playing all alone

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

But every Monday's child felt at home, never alone

2) Sad-eyed Samantha, she's only six years old

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, just how to care for someone else

A quiet home just never was their style

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

Truth is they just couldn't turn 'em down

3) Heather and Billy, they're just like me and you

But look a little closer and you'll learn a thing or two

How to love, how to grieve, How to make yourself believe

When Billy says we're gonna make it through, we always do

9.If You've Got Something to Say
(Tim Stafford-Jon Weisberger/Daniel House Music, BMI-Use Your Words Music, BMI)

1) Lately you been acting like there's something on your mind

tell me would you like to clear the air

It's hard for me to reach you when you're preoccupied

Honey that won't get you anywhere

CH) But If You've Got Something to Say

Come right out and say it, I'll find out anyway

Don't put off till tomorrow what you oughtta do today

If You Got Something to Say

2) Yesterday you told me that you lost your wedding ring

Today I found it tucked inside your purse

You say that you still love me, Baby that don't mean a thing

Empty words only make it worse

CH) But If You've Got Something to Say

Come right out and say it, I'll find out anyway

Don't let me go on living in this dream of yesterday

If You Got Something to Say

BR) If you really think it's over

You don't need an alibi

I can take the truth but I can't take a lie

TAG) Don't make me wait forever Babe, you know I'm turning gray

If You Got Something to Say

12. Drinking From a Deeper Well
(Tim Stafford-Bob Minner/Daniel House Music, BMI-Missouriboy Music, BMI)

1) Grocery line headlines

all kinds of stop signs

Do it now deadlines

were bringing me down

My way of living

was taking not giving

the art of forgiving

was short in supply

CH) These days I listen

for what I've been missing

Like stories my son wants to tell

I've learned how to slow down

Every day I'm above ground

I'm Drinking from a Deeper Well

2) Today's all we're living

tomorrow's not given

but riches are hidden

in everyday life

So find your own reason

and there'll be a season

keep on believing

and drink till you're full

TAG:  sweet inspiration

simple salvation

Drinking from a Deeper Well

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 yard cut 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 bare such a heavy load
Hard to keep my thoughts all in a row
I can't slow down the life I've chose
Somehow I love the way it goes
Time 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 name
Different picture in the same ole frame
Lightning flashing up ahead
A million 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 Train
(Tim Stafford-Steve Gulley/Daniel House Music, BMI-Gulley's Curve Music, BMI)

Everybody drives the same old roads these days
Don't see a thing, but they know the way
Every mile's a marker, every town's the same
Another place to stop 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 stop along the way
Everybody knew his name

A different story down every line
People workin' hard just 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
Like people moving through a picture frame
Seems the whole world's further down the track
But I'm always looking back

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

Birmingham to Jackson, hear the whistle call
And the sun goes down like a big red ball
In my memory I still see 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 hair down to her waist
The color of strawberries
Down by the forked stream
By night fall we would marry

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

On a horse seventeen hands high
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 call her
Upon a lightning horse I swore once more
As I left Sycamore Holler

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

It was down by the river's edge
I see the campfire flicker
Four dead men lay behind
As I leave that campsite with her

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

I sure love the farmer's daughter
Down 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 boy
and taught him how to use a gun
After 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's a homeless man

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
Now he has everything he owns
in a worn-out shopping cart
He's never begged for anything,
he just doesn't have the heart
He's just a homeless man

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

They found him there one cold November night
Though he'd won so many battles,
this time he'd lost the fight
No one seemed to care that he was gone
They laid him in a pauper's grave
with a tiny little stone
As a young man and his mother
sat alone and cried,
Holding the Silver Star medallion
someone found there by his side
He was a homeless man

He was just a homeless man

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

Where did the morning go?
I meant to do much more with this life
I was born a clear and sunny day
Now evening shadows fall 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 always loved
And I made peace with my God above
But where did the morning go?

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

6. Two 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 polish, we have to look our best
This message that we carry
is a heavy load to bear
For those who pay the price with sacrifice
We have to show we 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's up to me and Sergeant Jack
To break 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 trees
Where fading yellow ribbons
wave gently in the breeze
A loved one's in a better place
They won't be back no more
Now there's two soldiers at the door

Sometimes they see us coming
and fall down on their knees
Tears are overflowing,
crying "no, God, please."
Sometimes they just stand there, silent as 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 little 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 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 know
No matter where you 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

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 state requires my bed

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

I won't last a day out there alone
This prison cell's the only home I've known
The world outside has changed,
but the one inside's the same
I'll have to find a way to get back home

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

I was thinkin' 'bout Mary as I left Tucumcari
With four hours to make Santa Fe
I know she's 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 it's dallied and taut
Every year it gets rougher,
but her love is tougher
Than any steer I've ever 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 along that this day would come
Guess my ropin' days are done

There's headers and heelers, addicts and dealers
And Crown to cover the fear
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's been fun
Tell the girls in Nogales I'm headed to Dallas
Now my ropin' days are done

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

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

Five years ago when we first met
I never dreamed that I'd regret
Loving you the way I do, oh Lord
You 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 find somebody new, oh Lord
Cause I'm not over you, I'm blue on blue

The day may come when I'll try again
With a little luck, next time I'll win
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose, oh Lord
When you hit rock bottom there's nothing but blues
on blues

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

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

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

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

A v-bottom boat, a v-bottom boat
A v-bottom boat'll take you
where you want to go

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

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

One day I'll find the stream that leads up to
my Savior fair
I'll ride in a v-bottom boat to meet him there

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

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

My friends all tried to tell me when I met you
You're needn't think you'll ever keep that girl
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
It's becoming clear our feelings
aren't the same
You keep trying to change me
from what I choose to be
But you gotta know that
I don't play that game
