Climb That Mountain
03:19
|

Got no hat and I got no coat
But I got these shoes
And I'm still going to climb that mountain
Got no strength and I got no youth
But I got my soul
And I'm still going to climb that mountain
There might be rain
And there might be snow
I might lose my head
But I'll keep on going
I can see myself on top, I won't stop
I'm still going to climb that mountain
Got no food and I got no drink
But I got some truth
And I'm still going to climb that mountain
Got no money and I got no house
But I got my love
And I'm still going to climb that mountain
Might take a year
Or it might take ten
I might fall back
And start over again
But I can see myself on top, I won't stop
I'm still going to climb that mountain

Your letter seems full of urgency
Every word spills over with desire
Is this flame in your heart really meant for me
Or just one night's lonely fire
You send me a picture in a ten dollar frame
Then ask me what I'm waiting for
You'll have me believing that you'll take my name
And then you'll slam your door
Lora Lee, Lora Lee
You wonder why I stay gone so long
You don't love me as much when I'm there with you
As you love me when I'm gone
The last time I saw you was a year ago
After on more tearful call
I drove all night just to hold you close
But I couldn't tear down your wall
If I run to you now will you open your arms
And lead me to your bed?
If I lean in to kiss you like I've wanted to
Will you quickly turn your head

Missing You All My Life
03:31
|
|||
I heard a song from heaven at the Broken Spoke Cafe
You had an angel's voice with a touch of Emmylou
My world stopped turning until your song was over
That was two weeks ago and I'm still thinking about you
We never met before, I haven't seen you since
I don't know what to make of these strange events
How can I miss somebody I ain't met twice
Could it be I've been missing you all my life
In a dream last night I was standing by your side
In your hand was a rose, in mine was an empty vase
I woke up before the dream was over
I've been praying all day to see you in another place
I only want another chance to see you
I'm hoping even more that you're missing me too
We never met before, I haven't seen you since
I don't know what to make of these strange events
How can I miss somebody I ain't seen twice
Could it be I've been missing you all my life
Could it be I'll be missing you all my life

Summer's gone, Winter's coming
A cold Autumn chill is hanging in the air
Fill me up with a hot cup of cider
And walk with me darlin' to the county fair
There's all kinds of geeks and freaks on the midway
I'll buy you a ticket, they're a sight to see
The boys in town are gonna see us together
And wish for a chance to be a man like me
Bring on the games
Bring on the rollercoasters
Light off some fireworks
Shoot 'em in the air
Falling in love with a woman like you
Is like taking first prize at the county fair
Elephant ears and sweet cotton candy
Carnies all barking, "won't you take a chance?"
I'll throw out my arm and twenty five dollars
For a big stuffed poodle with some fine romance
There's an auctioneer selling off cattle
In the barn past the Comet and the Tilt-a-Whirl
I'm going once, going twice, I'm gone to my limit
I sold my heart to a beautiful girl

Life Without Time
03:24
|
|||
I'm working too slow for my foreman
Working too much for my wife
I'm paying for things I ain't got any more
I'm living too fast for this life
Well my body ain't getting no younger
And my back, it won't carry much weight
The kids are all crying so it's back to the mine
I've gotta keep food on their plate
Give me a river to fish in
Give me a mountain to climb
Give me a dance with a beautiful girl
And give me a life without time
The taxman thinks I'm a millionaire
The preacher called me a fool
It won't matter much what they say about me
If you take me where the air is cool

Seven years in boxes on the living room floor
Is this old stack of records mine or yours?
The silence between us is louder than angry words could be
Your hand brushes mine as you reach for a picture
A memory of love gone by
After all we've been through it's amazing what your touch does to me
One more time let your hair hand down
One more time let our bodies be twisted
We've got one more night to find
What tomorrow will be missing
Let your breath touch my face, let my kisses make you tremble
Forgetting there's a future or a past
Let's make love slowly like we should have all along
As if each night would be the last
In the morning I'll leave my key on the table by the door
When I walk away we'll have one good night to remember
Please remember

'til Morning
02:47
|

Papa took his jug and his deck of cards
Left without a warning
Stumbled off to the railroad yard
He won't be back 'til morning
Mama saw Papa sneaking off tonight
She snuck off behind him
He went left, she went right
She won't be back 'til morning
Well there's mice in the walls and spiders in the window
An owl in the tree going hooty-hoo-hoo
Dog's on the porch and the cat's in the kitchen
But I'm still lonely darlin', where are you?
Sweet Katy won't you see my sign
Got my porchlight shining
The folks are gone and the house is mine
Stay with me 'til morning

Olivia Rose, whatcha doin' today (2x)
The sun is shining and the sky is blue
Why don't you just come out and play(2x)
Olivia Rose, let's go to the zoo(2X)
The dolphin is jumping as if trying to say
Why don't you just come out and play(2x)
Well nap time's over and we had a snack
A peanut butter samwich with some raisins in the back
A little bit of juice just to wash it down
Wipe off your face, jump down
Olivia Rose, let's go on home(2X)
Your mama's calling and I head her say
Why don't you just come out and play(2x)
Why don't you just come out and play
Why don't you just come out and play with me child?

Heart on the Line
03:23
|

I know you love me darlin', but you won't admit it
'cause saying that you love means something's gonna have to change
I know you need me darlin', but you won't admit it
'cause needing somebody's like putting on a ball and chain
Put a little bit, put a little bit of love in front of me
Put a little bit, put a little bit of fear behind
Put a little bit, put a little bit of hope inside of me
Put a little bit of your heart on the line
I know you watch me darlin', but you won't admit it
But every time I look at you, you're looking at me
I know you want me darlin' but you won't admit it
Come a little closer won't you see what love can be

John Brown's Dream
03:37
|

Dearest children, every one, and my beloved Mary
They're building a gallows in Charlestown
I'll die for Harper's Ferry
Saw a slave boy beaten down when I was green and young
A sword of fire went through my soul
To fight for abolition
Mary don't you weep for me let no one see you crying
The peace of God sustains me now
There's much to gain in dying

Black Crow
03:21
|

Old black crow in my dogwood tree
Take your darkness away from me
Been on my back since '63
Take your darkness away from me
Find your shadow another home
Leave my family be
Moonshine runner in your fine, fast car
Spill your liquor and break the jar
I'm drunk since dawn, I can't go far
Spill your liquor and break the jar
Find your shadow another home
Leave my family be
Gambling man outside my hall
Throw your dice against another wall
There's a fool and his money in Arkansas
Throw your dice against his damn wall
Find your shadow another home
Leave my family be

Falling All The Way
03:23
|
|||
My legs hurt from walking
Dust burns my eyes, tears form
I think I'll lie down by the road
And sleep through the coming storm
I've nowhere to go
No one to cling to at night
Who will tend my sickness
See me through to the daylight
No one is safe here, no one secure
Anything can happen any time
Try to keep the dogs away and deadbolt your door
And do everything you can to keep from falling all the way
I'm looking for a wall to lean on
Searching for a place to stand
I choose between the solid rock
And the ever shifting sand
I still believe in God
But prayers seem to fall on deaf ears
I wonder where He's gone
While I'm stuck between miracles and fear

Hide In These Hills
04:41
|
|||
Half past eleven this morning the last straw fell
With a word, goodbye, you opened the doorway to hell
You might as well run me through with a cold steel blade
Oh Shenandoah Mountains get ready, I'm running away
I'll hide in these hills until it's safe to come down
And face all my devils in the valley
I'm told there's a lesson to be learned in love
But I'm tired of learning the hard way
I'll drop my line in the water
And wait for my soul to heal
Until I'm strong again, I'll hide in these hills
These trees don't care if a grown man cries
And this rage that I'm feeling is no threat to the sky
I'll fill up my empty heart with a mountain view
There's plenty of room here to lose my memory of you
You'd have me believe that I can't survive on my own
But up here in these mountains I know I can make it alone

I'll Still Love You
03:13
|
|||
When the last piece of steel on Earth has rusted
When the last work of man has fallen through
When the last piece of coal becomes a diamond
I'll still love you, I'll still love you
When the last ray of sunshine has been given
When the final word of God has come true
When another life begins in another world
I'll still love you, I'll still love you
We were bound in the heavens
Before the world was formed
Only one soul was chosen
From which both of us were born
And though death may hide my body from your eyes, Dear
I'll still love you, I'll still love you
