On the Trail 03:46
Drop me off in Georgia Pick me up in Maine To get where I’m goin’ I don't need no road now Don’t need no train I’ll spend my evenings singin’ with the nightingale And walk by day on this mountain pathway I’m on the trail This path I walk’s a journey, it matters not the end It don’t matter where I’m going, or where I’ve been For I might choose the long road, or take it nice and slow But I’ll catch up to you by sundown, we’ll share the fire’s glow Drop me off in Georgia Pick me up in Maine To get where I’m goin’ I don't need no road now Don’t need no train I’ll spend my evenings singin’ with the nightingale And walk by day on this mountain pathway I’m on the trail I’ll climb so many summits, and see amazing views I’ll plod along through valleys and I’ll sometimes get the blues But if I keep on walkin’ I know I’ll surely find The treasure I’ve been searchin’ for it’s my little peace of mind Drop me off in Georgia Pick me up in Maine To get where I’m goin’ I don't need no road now Don’t need no train I’ll spend my evenings singin’ with the nightingale And walk by day on this mountain pathway I’m on the trail

If you stroll down Main Looking for a sweet refrain Or need someone to sing away your blues You will find me by the road With my Gaucho Silvertone And the two of us will play one just for you   So drop a nickel in my case And I’ll send a song your way Whether you need something fast or slow I hope it makes your day As you carry on your way Played with love on my Gaucho Silvertone   She’s survived two floods and once was filled with mud By a little child who knew not wrong from right Still she sounds so sweet as she sings out on the street As we play for change each and every night When your mind gets sore From your job that’s become a bore Come on down to the corner, find me there For that’s where I stand With my Silvertone in hand Floating melodies into the air

Take my eyes, dear They've already cried too much Now my time is up And I'm ready to be movin' on Take my hands, dear They've already felt too much Now my plan is up And I'm ready to be movin' on One more river to cross One more mile to go One more road to lead 'Til I find my way back home Take my arms, dear They've already fought too much Now my charm is up And I'm ready to be movin' on Take my heart, dear It's already wept too much Now my part is up And I'm ready to be movin' on One more river to cross One more mile to go One more road to lead 'Til I find my way back home Take my feet, dear They've already walked too much Now my street is up And I'm ready to be movin' on One more river to cross One more mile to go One more road to lead 'Til I find my way back home

Way up on Walker Mountain, boys, there’s a man who’s got a still Better bring your shiny nickels if you wanna get your fill Don’t try to play him for a fool; he don’t care who you are You’ll pay before you take a drink or you won’t have none at all Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain Though you know you may never leave Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain Let the moonshine bring you to your knees They tell the tale of the hunters who once stumbled on that site They drank up every jug around and threw away their lives Old Man Walker found them there passed out on the floor He didn’t bother takin’ names, just shot his forty-four Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain Though you know you may never leave Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain Let the moonshine bring you to your knees I’m goin’ on up to the mountaintop to have me a little taste And if I find that magic still my life will go to waste Cause once you start it’s impossible to get back in control Your life don’t mean a damn no more when the liquor takes its hold Drink it down, Big Walker Mountain Yes, I know I may never leave Take me in, Big Walker Mountain Let the moonshine bring me to my knees

When I look outside my window See the raindrops falling soft I'll look back and see your beauty Then I'll know what I have truly lost When I sing this verse of roses And I send it off to you May my voice float through your window Then I'll know I've done all I can do Yes I know these days may seem eternal Never falling through the hourglass And I know … Time is never turning back When I see that autumn sunset Like a blanket o'er the land I will feel the chill of winter Then I'll know you've found another man Yes I know these days may seem eternal Never falling through the hourglass And I know … Time is never turning back When I hear December whisper That you've given your love away I will light this lonely candle And I'll pour my tears into the flame Yes I know these days may seem eternal Never falling through the hourglass And I know … Time is never turning back
