Fork In The Road

There's a fork in the road, I cant seem to make up my mind
Don't know which way to go, and I'm sure running out of time
I'm all alone with my suitcase in my hands, Can't find my ticket, to
the promise land
There's a fork in the road, can't seem to make up my mind.
There's frost on the pumpkin, the air is taking on a chill
I can't find my milk and honey, don't believe I ever will
Somebody's got my pony and I'm left here like a fool
My saddle's on the fence and I'm sittin' there too
there's frost on the pumpkin, the air is taking on a chill
Lines on my face, growing day by day
Chasing you baby's gonna put me in my grave
Tears in my eyes, skies about to fall
Looking for cover, can't see anything at all
There's a fork in the road
I'm all alone with my suitcase in my hands
Cant find my ticket to the promise land
There's a fork in the road, can't seem to make up my mind

The Hitchhiker

I heard you favored another and to me it came as no surprise
Had all I can take of feeling this way, knowing I was gone beyond goodbye
I hear a sound in the distance, like the voice of a sorrowful ghost
There's a dark sky moving behind me, and I'm riding my thumb by the road
Buddy can you take me to virginia, It's a long time now I've been gone
Or take me to the coast of California, there's a cold wind blowing here at home
Anywhere your restless waves are rolling, is better of than staying
here alone.
So I paid a price for the learning, measured in the passing of time
Money can't buy back the years I've lost, water that never turned to wine

Long Lonesome Day
03:06
|
|
||
Standing on the roadside, head held in my hands
Rain falls hard on the ground 'round where I stand
Headlights shinin' about half a mile away
It's been a long and lonesome day, it's been a long and lonesome day
Cars on the highway, they're dark against the sky
And they're never going my way, they only pass me by
Tomorrow's such a long time to go from yesterday
It's been a long and lonesome day, it's been a long and lonesome day
Waitin' on a hillside, here I am again
I'd love to catch a ride, stick my thumb out in the wind
Shouldn't look behind me, 'cause it don't ever pay
It's been a long and lonesome day, it's been a long and lonesome day

Gettin’ Down The Road
07:53
|
|

She looked at me with eyes that longed for company
Little bits of light shown through her hair, and on to me
Desire made me want to stay, that’s how it goes
But now I gotta bail and they say they gotta close
I never stay around, and get to see the town
I just shake my head as the wheels start to roll
I’m gonna be getting down the road, cause I know it’s time to go
I’m gonna get up, and get on down the line
I’m gonna be getting down the road, cause I know it’s time to go
I’m gonna get up, and find me a piece of mind
Hillbillies night club, just another roadside bar
A bunch of red clay dirt and the inside, of a car
A mountain silhouette in evening outside of Boone
Today I rode along, and I penned, this little tune
That’s a picture of a day, when you live the lonesome way
But I wouldn’t trade it for a pot of gold

Get It While You Can
04:22
|
|

There's a woman outside with her red dress on
Giving me cause to recollect my mind
She don't see me with my torn-up blue jeans on
Wondering why her good old fella ain't got the time
You better get it while you can, brother get it while you can
When I'm home from workin' I'm a hungry man
I like your biscuits in my gravy, ma'am
Before the stores all close, get it while you can
There's a rich man, thinks I'm out to underhand
'Cause my car doesn't shine when I drive
I never drawed a day, of vacation time
Cause I got a woman at home and she'll ease all my trouble in mind
My motorcycle runs like greased up lightning sun
And I know where the fish are gonna bite all day
My pistol barks, like a bulldog there
I pay my bills, sing my song and then I draw my pay

Masquerade
04:45
|
|
||
Once I started down a road, never studied where I'd go
Darkness waited on the way, still I never seemed afraid
My appearance said that I was strong and if I got it wrong, I kept up the masquerade
Now I see the truth I meant to find, Knowing now that I was only waisting time
So I missed the warning signs, took the hard road every time
Though I missed the easy turns, I don't regret the lessons learned
I took away the mask and let it fall and then I saw it all, I was looking straight at you
Now I see the truth I meant to find, Knowing now that I was only waisting time

Ain't No Way Of Knowing
03:25
|
|

There ain’t no way of knowing, which way the wind is blowing
There ain’t no way of knowing, why my baby’s done up and gone
Said there ain’t no way of knowing, which way the wind is blowing
There ain’t no way of knowing, if my baby’s gonna come back home.
I telephoned my baby, plain hell gettin through
She won’t tell me anything, and all her friends won’t too
There ain’t no way of knowing, which way the wind is blowing
There ain’t no way of knowing, why my baby’s done up and gone
Said there ain’t no way of knowing, which way the wind is blowing
There ain’t no way of knowing, if my baby’s gonna come back home.
I’m standing out here in the yard, howling like Old Blue
Can’t you hear him barking, he’s awful lonesome too
I ain’t no private eye but I have picked up on some clues
I got a hunch she’s somewhere kick off her brand new walkin shoes

Well, Well
06:47
|
|
||
Well I know, what the people say
I drink a lot, almost every day
And I’m feeling a little to tired
I’m a moth flying too close to the fire
My body needs more care
And my blues, a little fresh air
It hurts me, when my baby cries
If I don’t change I think I’m gonna die
Well well, what have we here
another night, full of tears
I ain’t worried, don’t you fear
Cause I think that the clouds are gonna clear
I hold on, a little too tight
And each day, is a pretty good fight
But it’ll ease up, if you let it
Wake up your mind if you want to get it
Well well, what have we here
Another night, full of tears
I ain’t worried, don’t you fear
Cause I think that the clouds are gonna clear
It seems like these walls are getting tall
And I fell them closing in
All the pain that I feel, all the blues that I see
Are because of me
Is there always, something wrong
Sleepless nights, same old song
Just let go and let your mind run free
Cause if your eyes are closed it’s really hard to see.

How Far I'd Fall For You
04:20
|
|
||
I think I just seen my first miracle
I think I just got blowed away
A non-believers unbelievable
A dream come true, but who's to say
Like an angel sent from up on high
You looked at me, right then I knew
A flash of something caught my eye
I knew how far I'd fall for you
I thought in this life I'd seen everything
The ups the downs the in-betweens
The good the bad just about everything
30 years in faded jeans
I ain't never met no one from heaven yet
It just don't happen all the time
But now there you are and all that's left of me
Is gonna be real hard to find

All The Same
05:05
|
|
||
High or low, sky or sea, locked inside, or just set free
Have you become, what you could be, who can say, it isn't me
Guilt or blame, it's all the same, it's all the same
Hard to say, hard to find, is it all in your mind
Is it without or is it within, how does it feel in your skin?
Is it pride or shame, it's all the same, it's all the same
When you want me, you will find me here
When you want me, you will find me here, I'll be here
In the dark, in the light, you had it wrong, but that's alright
'Cause I'm right here, won't you look around, still can't see, what's that sound
You can call my name, they're all the same, they're all the same

Riding tonight, through the wind and rain
Trying to find my way home
This weary traveller’s been gone too long
I return, never more to roam
I’ve seen big city lights, and miles of highway
The white lines never seem to end
But they light the way to a beautiful place
Back to see my best friend
And this, road is lonesome, and I’m feeling blue
And I can’t get you off of my mind
When I get back babe, I’m gonna stay
No more to leave you behind
The silhouette of trees tops, they flash by the window
I’ve been down this road a hundred times before
I could drive it in my sleep, from here to our cabin
The sign says just twenty miles more
The road I’ve travelled, it leads to your door
You know that’s where I want to be
I can see a light in the window of a cabin
and a little girl that’s waiting there for me
