Caledonia 04:36
I don’t know if you can see The changes that have come over me These last few days I’ve been afraid That I might drift away I’ve been telling old stories, singing songs That make me think about where I’ve come from That’s the reason why I seem So far away today [Chorus] Let me tell you that I love you That I think about you all the time Caledonia, you’re calling me, now I’m going home If I should become a stranger You know that it would make me more than sad Caledonia you’re everything I’ve ever had Now I have moved and I’ve kept on moving Proved the points that I needed proving Lost the friends that I needed losing Found others on the way I have tried and I’ve kept on trying Stolen dreams, there’s no denying I have traveled, sometimes with conscience flying Somewhere in the wind [Chorus] Here I sit, before the fire The empty room, the forest choir The flames that couldn’t get any higher They’ve withered, now they’re gone But I’m steady thinking, my way is clear And I know what I will do tomorrow When hands are shaken, the kisses flow Then I will disappear [Chorus]

When the weekend roles around In that new old river town That sits along the mighty Ohio All the folks dressed to the nines Waitin’ there in line Just to get themselves a rosy little glow All the boys pass single file Lookin’ for a smile From any pretty girl standin’ around But the one they love the best She stands out above the rest She’s that swingin’ gal that downtown Judy Brown [Chorus] With a squiggle and a wiggle And a whirl and a twirl Across the ole dance floor With a dip and a whip And a flip of her hip She always leaves them wantin’ more She’s the one they love the best She stands out above the rest She's that swingin’ gal, that downtown Judy Brown Well ole Moses would be proud At the way she could part a crowd She turns the head of everyone around And all the boys are green for sure As the lucky man Du Jour Goes a swingin' round with Downtown Judy Brown [Chorus]

Long black limousine Shiniest car I’ve ever seen The back seat is nice and clean She rides as quiet as a dream Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down Ain’t nothing left at all in the end of being proud With me riding in this car, and you flying through the clouds [Chorus] I’ve had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I’ve had some time to think about you On the long ride home One day I took your tiny hand Put your finger in the wedding band Your daddy gave a piece of land We made ourselves the best of plans Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed Forty years of saying things you wish you’d never said How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red [Chorus] Headlights searching down the driveway The house is dark as it can be I go inside and all is silent It seems as empty as the inside of me [Chorus]

I was dreaming, never seeing What was right all I knew was wrong And I truly, didn’t notice ’Til I woke up, from this dream so long Can I do this for 30 more years Could I look you in the eye And care for you like I want to While I mourn the days passed by Can I do this for 30 more years When my heart is filled with fear My hopes and dreams may be too much to be But I know, it can’t be here People told me, go be happy And they’d change what they did if they could And their hearts were, filled with sadness And tears from the pain they withstood Can I do this for 30 more years Could I look you in the eye And care for you like I want to While I mourn the days passed by Can I do this for 30 more years When my mind is seeing clear My hopes and dreams may be too much to be But I know, yes I know it won’t be here

You were only fooling, While I was falling in love It’s a story as old as Adam and Eve I was making love, while you were making believe [Chorus] You lied to me with kisses I try to stop dreaming of But you were only fooling me While I was falling in love You were only fooling Playing childish games Like so many times it’s happened before You say come on in and then start slamming the door [Chorus]
7.
I just want to tell y’all A simple thing or two About this special man I’m dreamin' of He makes my body tremble With the little things he’ll do It’s a little bit of Heaven with his love Well we’ve all been to the mountains And seen the ocean blue Heard the rumble of the thunder from up above No earthquake can compare To how his body moves It’s a little bit of Heaven with his love [Chorus] Every time I see him, I feel just like a child Feel the pounding in my chest, oh Lord, He makes my heart go wild, He’s the apple of my eye, The one I’m dreaming of, It’s a little bit of Heaven with his love, [Chorus]
8.
The guilt lay on my conscience, As I turned to hold her Those second thoughts kept rolling Through my mind Then I felt the tingle, Of her fingers on my shoulder Drawing me, to touch her, one more time [Chorus] The guilt was gone, I had gone crazy Could not think of my baby, or how soon I would lose our happy home The guilt was gone like my tomorrow, Now I live with the sorrow Of knowing I was wrong all along, Though now it’s back where it belongs, The guilt was gone Now the one I slipped around with, Has took up with some other Some other fool who’ll play her cheating game And my true love has left me, left me for another Another way of saying I’m to blame [Chorus]

Tell me just one more time The reasons why you must leave Tell me once more why you’re sure You don’t need me Tell me again But don’t think that you’ll convince me Now you’ve said Before falling in love again You’d rather be dead ‘Cause when someone breaks your heart You cry your eyes red But there’s nothing so hard about the life That you’ve led [Chorus] As far as I can see There’s no reason for goodbyes You’re just runnin’ scared And that’s something I won’t buy So you lose I won’t let you go with nothing to show But more blues And all this talk about leaving is strictly Bad news So you settle down and stay with the boy That loves you [Chorus] So you lose I won’t let you go with nothing to show But more blues And this talk about leaving is strictly Bad news So you settle down and stay with the man The loves you You settle down and stay with the man That loves you You settle down and stay with the man That loves you

I’ve known you for a while And your lovely smile, Even when you chose another But now tears replace What was a smiling face, now that you’ve discovered It was all a fantasy. He led you to believe He’d make all your dreams come true But now he’s gone away, and all those promises he made He gives to someone new [Chorus] The love that you give and the pain in your heart Come from the same place. That’s just who you are Your smile will capture any man’s eye But I love you because you cry…. It’s a mystery to me When someone just up and leaves And never sheds a tear it seems Can they know the true bliss Of a soft and tender kiss Feels like falling in a dream But it’s all gonna work out right, if you hold on tight I’ll make all your dreams come true I’ll never go away This love is here to stay It longs for only you [Chorus]
12.
Need a home for my family Gonna start a new life Got a school for my children And a church for my wife Won’t be much but it’s somethin’ Food and shoes for our feet Lord, the risk it ain’t nothin’ For a family in need [Chorus] Blue diamonds Buried in the ground Blue diamonds All over this town Travelin’ down through the darkness To where I can’t see Lost a brother this morning Lord bless his family Yeah we’re makin’ a living And we’re filling a need But we’re all sick or dyin’ For another man’s greed [Chorus] Oh, the long days and hard work Drove me straight to the still I owe it all to the company I guess I always will All they care for is portraits Of great men from the past Children’s fathers are dying And I won’t be the last ‘Cause we’re [Chorus] Never to be found All over this town
