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 fourth dimension
His retentivity drifted back when he was most live
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 upwards a chiliad miles abroad

Don't waste fond words or sad adieu
Lay me downwards on the broad open up patently
Out below the quilted sky
Where I tin 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 tin notice some rest
To the world he'due south long forgotten, but to me he was a friend
I still recall his concluding request

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

Have you ever been left all lone like a child
No 1 happens your way
People stare through you as they pass you by
Every bit they hurry along through their 24-hour interval

In the busy courtyard at that place the green grass y'all'll detect
H2o flows cool o'er the vine
Pennies polish bright equally they glare in the sun
And they happen to be mostly mine

Happen to be more often than not mine
Have you ever tried to see all the stars in the heaven
Looking upwardly through the big city lights
An empty street gives you a chill in your soul

As a folio of the newspaper blows by
A lilliputian bird makes this large city his domicile
He could get out but he chooses to stay
You lot wish you could inquire him to borrow his wings
And wing somewhere far away

Wing 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 odor of apple tree blossoms in the air
I miss daddy's stories by the fireside
And my momma's vocalization as she kneeled in prayer

I'm leaving tonight for love Kentucky
Where wild roses bloom this time of twelvemonth
I can feel the April sun shining on me
Every bit I walk the fertile footing I love so honey

Is the corn still growing in the meadow
Where Miller plowed the ground in early jump
Are the dogs still running through the red oaks
I'm going back to live that way once again

I long to run into sugariness Angelina
I wonder if she still remembers me
It'south been many years since I've seen her
In my center there's a place she'll always be

I'm leaving tonight for Dear Kentucky
Where wild roses bloom this fourth dimension of year
I can experience the summer sun shining on me
As I walk the fertile ground I love so love

iv.  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 virtually him alone, and prays for him frequently
She said don't cover your tracks
And so you tin can find your way dorsum
Not a deject in the sky every bit the coyote cries in the distance
In Texas this evening

He camped for the nighttime on the banks of the large 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 difficult times are gone
He hums a sweet tune as the gold harvest moon slowly rises
In Texas this evening

No one can say what will be
In life in that location'south 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 beloved without end
Until she sees him once again
Not a cloud in the sky equally the coyote cries in the distance
In Texas tonight

five.  Cochise County

Chorus

Dead or live read his bounty

thirty notches on his gun

Yous hope one day to have it all, only You already practice

Day old coffee at the crevice of noon

I institute your number in the pocket of my pants

Turned on the radio and much to my surprise

At that place ain't no way you know, to Hide Your Lying Eyes

CH) But similar the sunday keeps comin up and down

Some memories keep on coming dorsum effectually

I don't need some other reason to believe

Like I need anything reminding me of yous

We lost track of correct and incorrect somehow

Who's to blame and does information technology matter now?

We had our moment but it's come and gone

A ghost that'southward haunted me for way also long

I wish that I could close the book, and allow the story finish

Its gone and will rise once again no more than

Feeling good correct downward to my my shoes

I've got the church 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 song of how you proved untrue
And I become the church building bell wedding ceremony blues

Perchance if I blow this boondocks, change my point of view

And bulldoze abroad These Church bong nuptials blues

Every time I hear them old bells band, ring ring
For everybody else information technology'due south Happy news
but all I've got is a broken heart and it'southward left a mighty trample
Sounds like The church bong wedding blues

And I'g  non certain if I'chiliad the kind of man, who tin can spend all twenty-four hours sitting by himself, slowly growin' erstwhile

i. Life of a Travelin' Human being
(Shawn Lane/True cat Town Music, BMI)

Get the yard cutting downwards and the babies fed
A million songs runnin' through my head
Daylight comes I'll exist gone once again
When does the highway always end
My shoulders bare such a heavy load
Difficult to proceed my thoughts all in a row
I can't slow down the life I've chose
Somehow I love the way it goes
Fourth dimension moves fast and the wheels plough ho-hum
That'due south how the life of a travelin' man goes

The winds of change are a blowin' through
Just similar they're always gonna do
They'll turn the page to another proper noun
Unlike 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
Merely if the Lord is willing I'll be at that place again

ii. Through the Window of a Railroad train
(Tim Stafford-Steve Gulley/Daniel Business firm Music, BMI-Gulley'due south Curve Music, BMI)

Everybody drives the aforementioned old roads these days
Don't run across a thing, only they know the fashion
Every mile'southward a marker, every town's the aforementioned
Another identify to stop but non to stay

Daddy was a brakeman on the L&Due north
Sometimes he'd let me ride along with him
No affair where nosotros'd finish forth the mode
Everybody knew his name

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

So we started back the mode we came
Like people moving through a picture frame
Seems the whole earth's further downward the rails
But I'm always looking back

I don't expect you all to understand
Or run into the land similar a railroad human
So many things you'd never realize
Unless you saw 'em with these eyes

Birmingham to Jackson, hear the whistle telephone call
And the sun goes down like a big red ball
In my retentivity I notwithstanding see it all
Through the window of a train

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

It was down by the forked stream
Out in Sycamore Holler

To accept her from her father

With pilus down to her waist
The color of strawberries
Down by the forked stream
Past dark fall we would marry

I certain love the farmer'due south daughter
Dorsum in Sycamore Holler

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

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

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

It was down by the river'southward edge
I encounter the campfire flicker
Four expressionless men lay behind
As I get out that army camp with her

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

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

4. Homeless Man
(Wayne Taylor/Twoscore WAT Music, BMI)

They called him Skeet, his name was Nib
Corporal William Howard Campbell,

He did his fourth dimension with the 101

and taught him how to use a gun
After iv long years in service,
ii tours in Vietnam
The land that he served 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 correct hand
Till the nightmares and the memories
became more that she could stand
At present he has everything he owns
in a worn-out shopping cart
He's never begged for annihilation,
he just doesn't accept the heart
He'south just a homeless homo

Now in this land of enough
where so many have information technology all,
He sleeps in an alley half a cake from city hall

They found him there one cold November dark
Though he'd won then many battles,
this time he'd lost the fight
No 1 seemed to care that he was gone
They laid him in a pauper's grave
with a tiny little rock
As a young man and his female parent
sabbatum alone and cried,
Holding the Silver Star medallion
someone constitute at that place past his side
He was a homeless man

He was only a homeless man

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

Where did the morning time get?
I meant to do much more with this life
I was built-in a clear and sunny solar day
Now evening shadows fall my way
Where did the morning become?

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 fabricated peace with my God in a higher place
But where did the morning time go?

I've held hands that I loved to agree
But an evenin' came when I had to let 'em get
I still write the words down to my songs
But information technology's dissimilar voices that sing forth
Where did the morning go?

6. 2 Soldiers
(Tim Stafford-Forest Newton/Daniel Firm Music, BMI–Rope-a-Dope Music, BMI)

Nosotros bear witness up every morning,
our uniforms are pressed
All spit and smoothen, we take to look our best
This bulletin that we bear
is a heavy load to deport
For those who pay the price with sacrifice
We accept to show we care

Everybody has a duty, a style they can shine
The ones who get over there
and those who stay backside
Some own't coming dorsum, reality is grim
Information technology'south up to me and Sergeant Jack
To pause the news to them

We're the two soldiers no i wants to see
In a plain black sedan
rolling slowly down the street
Past the toys and the bikes
below the maple trees
Where fading yellow ribbons
moving ridge gently in the breeze
A loved one'due south in a better place
They won't exist dorsum no more than
At present in that location's ii soldiers at the door

Sometimes they see us coming
and fall downwardly on their knees
Tears are overflowing,
crying "no, God, please."
Sometimes they just stand there, silent as a rock
With no surprise in their eyes
Like they knew it all forth

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

(Tim Stafford-Robert G. Starnes/Daniel House Music, BMI-Information technology Says What It Says Music, BMI)

Time is a funny affair yous know
No matter where you are it comes and goes

Home is a state of mind information technology'due south said
Four walls and a roof inside your head
To some it might seem strange,
but I'm too damn one-time to change
Now the warden says the state requires my bed

It's been l years since they sent me hither
I had 40-nine more than to become
Merely a week from today

And I'll have to walk away
But Lord knows I'd stay if I could

This prison house jail cell'due south the only home I've known
The world outside has inverse,
just the one inside's the aforementioned
I'll have to detect a fashion to get dorsum 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 every bit I left Tucumcari
With four hours to brand Santa Fe
I know she's been hopin' I'll quit this damn ropin'
But that's one matter that she'd never say

It's a cowboy's addiction, the odor and the friction
Of the rope when it's dallied and taut
Every yr it gets rougher,
merely her dear is tougher
Than any steer I've ever fought

Information technology'due south more than a livin', it'due south been my whole life
Taken and given the pleasure and strife…
But I've known all forth that this twenty-four hours would come
Estimate 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 become from hither?

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

Color you gone and colour me blue on blue

Five years agone when we commencement met

You fell for another and left me blue on blue

Running out of tears, running out of centre
Besides tired to make another start
Don't wanna find somebody new, oh Lord
Crusade I'm not over you, I'k blue on blue

The mean solar day may come when I'll effort again
With a fiddling luck, next fourth dimension I'll win
When you got nothing, yous got null to lose, oh Lord
When you hit rock lesser in that location's nothing but blues
on blues

Blues on blues, pain on hurting
Nada to do only watch information technology pelting
Tears fall down from missing you, oh Lord
Color y'all gone and color me blue on blueish

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

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

A 5-bottom boat, a five-bottom gunkhole
A v-bottom gunkhole'll have me
where I desire to go

Ol' Noah cried out to the Lord,
"God what shall I do?"
God said to build a v-bottom boat and
y'all'll get through

A 5-bottom gunkhole, a 5-bottom boat
A v-lesser gunkhole'll accept you
where you lot want to go

Cars, planes and trains can take you
almost anywhere
But a v-lesser boat is how I'd rather
get at that place

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

Ane mean solar day I'll discover the stream that leads up to
my Savior fair
I'll ride in a v-lesser boat to meet him at that place

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

Yous keep saying things I don't empathise
I attempt real hard to never let it show
Your sophisticated means accept 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
Y'all're needn't think you'll ever keep that daughter
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
Information technology's condign clear our feelings
aren't the same
You keep trying to change me
from what I choose to be
Just you lot gotta know that
I don't play that game
