Rounder Records, Aug 2, 2019.

i.  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 dorsum when he was about alive
When Frank and Jesse James were in their prime number

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 1000 miles away

Don't waste matter fond words or sad farewell
Lay me down on the wide open plain
Out beneath the quilted sky
Where I can encounter both ends of the train

He said I saw the Buffalo, the herds would last for days
Back earlier the railroad came
At present it's all moved on without me simply I miss the older ways
And I know information technology can never be the same

They buried him at Rockville and his kind won't rising again
I hope his soul tin can find some rest
To the world he'southward long forgotten, merely to me he was a friend
I notwithstanding recall his concluding request

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

Take you e'er been left all alone like a child
No one happens your way
People stare through you lot as they pass you past
As they hurry along through their day

In the busy courtyard in that location the greenish grass you lot'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 exist mostly mine
Have you always tried to see all the stars in the sky
Looking upward 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 urban center his home
He could leave simply he chooses to stay
You wish you could inquire him to borrow his wings
And fly somewhere far away

Fly somewhere far away.

iii.  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'south stories by the fireside
And my momma's phonation as she kneeled in prayer

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

Is the corn still growing in the meadow
Where Miller plowed the ground in early spring
Are the dogs nonetheless running through the blood-red oaks
I'm going back to alive that way once more

I long to see sweet Angelina
I wonder if she still remembers me
Information technology's been many years since I've seen her
In my heart there'south a identify she'll always be

I'g leaving this night for Dear Kentucky
Where wild roses flower this time of year
I tin feel the summer sunday shining on me
As I walk the fertile footing I love so dear

four.  In Texas Tonight
(Tim Stafford-Bobby Starnes/Daniel Firm 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 frequently
She said don't cover your tracks
And so yous can find your way dorsum
Not a deject in the heaven as the coyote cries in the altitude
In Texas tonight

He camped for the nighttime 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 exist long
Until these hard times are gone
He hums a sweetness melody every bit the gilt harvest moon slowly rises
In Texas tonight

No one can say what will exist
In life there's no guarantees
Somewhere on the prairie tonight, this side of Austin
She worries near 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 every bit 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 nigh Hale Missouri

On the day that Vicksburg fell

And heaven hath no fury

similar a boy raised up in hell

He heard nearly Frank and Jesse

And how they robbed to feed the poor

But he robbed to suit his pleasure

and killed for zero more

Chorus

Dead or alive read his bounty

30 notches on his gun

The meanest human being in Cochise County

picked the wrong identify to run

 Riding out to California

Where no law had heard his name

Curly Nib and Texas Jack

But he'll never get it back

In my eyes, the skies are always Carolina blue

I already do

He still had things to do and it was fashion upwards in the day

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

You hope one twenty-four hour period to have it all, but You already do

Its gone and will rise once again no more than

Feeling adept correct downwards to my my shoes

Every time I hear them old bells ring, ring ring
For everybody else its Happy news

And I get the church bell nuptials blues

Maybe if I blow this town, change my point of view
Some might merely give upwards just I refuse
Put the pedal to the floor just to hear my engine roar
And drive away These Church building bell wedding ceremony dejection

Every time I hear them quondam bells ring, ring ring
For everybody else information technology's Happy news
but all I've got is a broken heart and it'south left a mighty bruise

For everybody else information technology'southward Happy news
But all I hear them telling me is son, you'll never lose
The low and lonesome church building bell wedding blues

* Nominated for 2008 IBMA Album of the Yr

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

Get the yard cutting down and the babies fed
A 1000000 songs runnin' through my head
Daylight comes I'll be gone again
When does the highway always terminate
My shoulders bare such a heavy load
Hard to continue 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 plow deadening
That's how the life of a travelin' homo 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 million songs runnin' through my caput
I can't proper noun every place I've been
Just if the Lord is willing I'll be at that place once again

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

Everybody drives the aforementioned one-time roads these days
Don't meet a affair, but they know the way
Every mile's a mark, every town's the same
Another place to finish but not to stay

Daddy was a brakeman on the Fifty&N
Sometimes he'd let me ride along with him
No matter where we'd stop forth the way
Everybody knew his name

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

Then nosotros started back the way we came
Similar people moving through a picture frame
Seems the whole world's further down the runway
But I'm always looking back

I don't await you all to sympathise
Or see the country 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 call
And the lord's day goes down similar a big blood-red ball
In my memory I still meet it all
Through the window of a train

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

Information technology was down by the forked stream
Out in Sycamore Holler
I went down in my all-time of clothes
To take her from her father

With pilus downwards to her waist
The color of strawberries
Down past the forked stream
By dark autumn we would marry

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

On a horse seventeen hands high
He rode in Sherman 'south army
To Atlanta town against her volition
He took my adult female from me

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

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

It was downwards by the river's border
I see the campfire flicker
Four expressionless 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 similar her
We'll ever exist together

I sure dear the farmer's daughter
Downward in Sycamore Holler

4. Homeless Homo
(Wayne Taylor/Twoscore 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 elementary country male child
and taught him how to use a gun
After iv long years in service,
two tours in Vietnam
The land 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 20 years,
he simply 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
Now he has everything he owns
in a worn-out shopping cart
He's never begged for annihilation,
he just doesn't have the center
He's only a homeless man

Now in this state of plenty
where so many have information technology all,
He sleeps in an aisle half a block from city hall

They found him there 1 common cold November nighttime
Though he'd won and then many battles,
this time he'd lost the fight
No ane seemed to care that he was gone
They laid him in a pauper'southward grave
with a tiny footling stone
As a boyfriend and his mother
sat alone and cried,
Property the Argent Star medallion
someone found there by his side
He was a homeless man

He was merely a homeless homo

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

Where did the morning get?
I meant to do much more with this life
I was built-in a clear and sunny twenty-four hours
Now evening shadows fall my way
Where did the morn go?

Information technology was dawn when my babies cried
Now 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 time go?

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

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

We evidence up every morning,
our uniforms are pressed
All spit and polish, we have to look our all-time
This message that we behave
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

Nosotros're the 2 soldiers no one wants to run into
In a plain black sedan
rolling slowly downwards the street
Past the toys and the bikes
beneath the maple trees
Where fading yellowish ribbons
wave gently in the breeze
A loved i's in a ameliorate place
They won't be back no more
Now at that place's two soldiers at the door

Sometimes they see us coming
and autumn downwards on their knees
Tears are overflowing,
crying "no, God, please."
Sometimes they just stand there, silent as a stone
With no surprise in their optics
Like they knew it all along

Run across the soldiers on the tarmac, ready to deploy
Husbands and wives with lilliputian girls and boys
Say a silent prayer they all come back live
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)

Time is a funny thing yous know
No affair where yous are information technology comes and goes
I've lived my life one solar day at a time
Fourth dimension is all I've had and all I know

Home is a state of listen it'south said
Four walls and a roof inside your head
To some it might seem strange,
but I'm likewise damn quondam to change
Now the warden says the country requires my bed

It's been l years since they sent me here
I had forty-ix more to go
Just 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 last a 24-hour interval out there alone
This prison house prison cell's the only habitation I've known
The world outside has changed,
but the 1 within's the same
I'll have to find a mode to get back home

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

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

Information technology's a cowboy's addiction, the smell and the friction
Of the rope when it'due south 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…
Merely I've known all along that this day would come
Guess my ropin' days are washed

There'south headers and heelers, addicts and dealers
And Crown to cover the fear
I been a saint and a sinner, a loser and winner
And then where practice I get from here?

I could be habitation by daybreak if I turn around now
I'God boys, information technology'south been fun
Tell the girls in Nogales I'one thousand headed to Dallas
At present my ropin' days are washed

ten. Blues on Blues
(Tim Stafford-Robert M. Starnes-Jon Weisberger/Daniel House Music, BMI-Information technology Says What Information technology Says Music, BMI-Apply Your Words Music, BMI)

Blues on blues, pain on pain
Zero to do but watch it rain
Tears fall downwardly from missing you, oh Lord
Color you gone and color me blue on blue

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

Running out of tears, running out of center
Too tired to make another start
Don't wanna notice somebody new, oh Lord
Cause I'thou not over yous, I'm blueish on blue

The mean solar day may come when I'll attempt once again
With a little luck, side by side time I'll win
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose, oh Lord
When you striking stone bottom there'due south nothing but dejection
on blues

Blues on blues, pain on pain
Nothing to do just sentry information technology rain
Tears fall down from missing you, oh Lord
Colour you lot gone and color me blue on blue

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

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

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

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

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

Cars, planes and trains can have you
most anywhere
But a v-bottom boat is how I'd rather
get in that location

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

I twenty-four hour period I'll find the stream that leads upwardly 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)

Yous go along saying things I don't understand
I try real hard to never let it show
Your sophisticated means take left me in a shock
I estimate I'm simply another gravel in the road

My friends all tried to tell me when I met you
You lot're needn't call back you'll ever keep that daughter
They said your high-course taste would lay my
life to waste
And I'd never be accepted in your earth

I've started to believe what they've been saying
It'southward becoming articulate our feelings
aren't the same
You go along trying to change me
from what I cull to be
Only you gotta know that
I don't play that game
