FAR AWAY


Fields are deathly quiet
Where the cotton used to grow
I'm a stranger in a land
That I used to know
In a land
A land I've not forgotten
Look away
Far Away

Everything has changed here
"Cept some things inside of me
I've hid 'em from the world
Kept them under lock and key
Like the sound of my mama's voice
Callin' me back home
To the place
Where I belong

Far Away
Far Away
Don't know why I left you
And look how long I've stayed
Far away
Far away
How'd I get so far away

Carved my name one Sunday morning
On a sweet magnolia tree
I cried when I walked away
Broke my heart to leave
Took that little piece of me
Put it in my pocket
I've lost myself a time or two
And I never once forgot it

Far away
Far away
Don't know why I left you
And look how long I've stayed
Far away
Far away
How'd I get so far away

Far away
Far away
Don't know why I left you
But look how long I've stayed
Far away
Far away
How'd I get so far away
How did I get so far away

FARMER'S BLUES


Who'll buy my wheat, who'll buy my corn
To feed my babies when their born?
Seeds and dirt, a prayer for rain, that I can use
I work the land, I watched the sky
I talk to God and wonder why
But it's the only life I'd know, these farmer's blues

I see the seasons come and go
Sending rain, fire and snow
I'm at the mercy of it all, this life I choose
Sometimes I hang my head and cry
When that evening train goes by
Wish it could take me far away
These farmer's blues

The tractor's old, the fence is down
Put own my suit and go to town
I ask for a loan, and I know well, they might refuse
But back at home, still by my side
The one I love with worried eyes
Waits for me, to love away, these farmer's blues

I see the seasons come and go
Sending rain, fire and snow
I'm at the mercy of it all, this life I choose
Sometimes I hang my head and cry
As that evening train goes by
Wish it could take me far away
These farmer's blues

Yodle boy
What about it Hack
Farmers blues

FOOL FOR LOVE


Yes, she broke my heart again
(Fool for love)
That's the way it's always been
(Fool for love)

It's a cryin' game
If you play long enough
It's a beautiful pain
When you're a fool for love
Fool, for love

I tell myself that I don't care
(Fool for love)
But I keep hopin', she'll be there
(Fool for love)

It's a cryin' game
If you play long enough
You're slowly going insane
When you're a fool for love
Fool for love

Fool for love
Fool for love
Fool for love

Always thought I was so smart
(Fool for love)
Started thinkin' with my heart
(Fool for love)

It's a cryin' game
If you play long enough
Tears will fall down like rain
When you're a fool for love

Fool for love
Fool for love
Fool for love

GET IN LINE BROTHER

For some day he's comin' back again you know
If that wrong ain't righted you'll be lost in sin
Get in line brother, he will take you in

Then I'm sure you'll know the love of God is real
Then you'll be praying while I sing this song

Get on your knees and righten that wrong
Then you'll be singing this old time song
Get in line brother, if you wanna go home

GOIN' NOWHERE FAST


There's just too much confusion, to get what's really
going on
The truth is lying out there, and it's covered up in
stone
I get a funny feeling that's been rolling 'round in me
I think it's time to tell you that it's time for me to
leave
It's been fun, it has been a gas
But it's goin' nowhere fast

Somebody call my number and get me on the phone
Lately I've been talking to myself, when I had me all
alone
Thinking I should start a fire and burn a bridge back
into town
It must be time to go back home
'Cause I miss having me around
It's almost real, it could've been a blast
But it's goin' nowhere fast

I'm on a roll so I'll keep rolling
Gaining ground on my control
While I need someone to lean on, a tender hand to hold
As I scramble cross the beckon call of my own heart's
command
I'll fade and disappear into a sea of sinking sand
Like a dark horse running from the past
I'm goin' nowhere fast
I'm a dark horse running through the past
I'm goin' nowhere fast

HALF A HEART


Your heart's changing, our love is growing cold
Something tells me I'll be moving on
Some day, you'll see, just what you did to me
You'll want my love again, but I'll be gone

Half a heart ain't strong enough to hold me
I won't stand in your way
You don't love me no more my darlin'
Now I've got no reason to stay

Teardrops fallin' inside this lonely room
While you're out running round all over time
When the party's all over and your friends have let you down
You'll call for me, but I won't be around

Half a heart ain't strong enough to hold me
I won't stand in your way
You don't love me no more my darlin'
Now I've got no reason to stay
I've got no reason to stay

HARLAN COUNTY


Way down in Harlan County
On a cold and lonesome night
A tormented man with a gun in his hand
Went searching for his wife

When he found her in another's arms
She began to scream and cry
As he put the gun to his own head
Said,"It's time for me to die"

Her lover begged forgiveness
From that woman's man
I swear to you she never wore
A ring upon her hand

Her husband took a letter
From his canvas overcoat
Then before their eyes he killed himself
And here is what he wrote

HEART OF STONE


I ain't afraid of your bad-mouth gun
You can shoot and run any time babe
I'll survive in the ice-cold stare
That you learned to wear so unkindly
Bette Davis and Patsy Cline
Ain't got nothin' on you
Hillbilly angel and Hollywood
I see through you
Babe I see right through you

You'll never break this heart of stone
No matter how you try
I ain't the one who's all alone
You'll never break this heart of stone

I know you're lookin' at someone new
So here's to you, what's the mystery
Do you want me to fall apart
Honey in my heart, it's history
Pardon me if I missed a cue
For someone who cares
You just wanted to drive me on
But you won't wear
Babe you just can't tear me

You'll never break this heart of stone
No matter how you try
I ain't the one who's all alone
You'll never break this heart of stone

Ah you'll never break this heart of stone
No matter how you try
I ain't the one who's all alone
You'll never break this heart
You'll never break this heart
You'll never break this heart of stone

HERE I AM


Dreamed aboutcha last night, baby
Well, you were lookin' for your man
And my heart said I had to tell you
Baby, here I am

And I don't look much like prince charming
With Mississippi on my hands
But if you want someone to hold you
Baby, here I am

You know no one will love you better
No one can move you like I can
I ain't afraid to say forever
So if you want a man, I mean a man
Well baby, here I am

And you know no one will love you better
No one can move you like I can
I ain't afraid to say forever
So if you want a man, I mean a man
If you want a man, baby, here I am
Baby, here I am

I dreamed aboutcha last night, baby

HEY BABY


Hey baby
Don't you cry
I'm gonna wipe those little
Teardrops dry

Hey baby
Don't be sad
I know he hurt you
But it ain't so bad

You won't ever have to
Be alone again
I will always love you
Till the very end

Hey baby
Don't be blue
I will always
Take good care of you

You won't ever have to
Be alone again
I will always love you
Till the very end

Hey baby
Don't you cry
I'm gonna wipe those little
Teardrops dry

Hey baby
Hey baby
Hey baby
