I'll Go Somewhere and Sing My Songs Again

(Tom T. Hall)



Way out on the mountain near the sky

Hidin' from the cold realities of life

Shakin' that old road dust off my heels

I give my heart and mind the chance to heal.



Then I'll go somewhere and sing my songs again

More than likely ride back to the places I have been

In fairness to my music and my friends

So I'll go somewhere and sing my songs again.



A racoon stole my minnoes in the night

I appreciate his need and his appetite

But like me he doesn't have to roam

Lord, it's true that man can't live on bread alone.



So I'll go somewhere and sing my songs again

More than likely ride back to the places I have been

In fairness to my music and my friends

So I'll go somewhere and sing my songs again.

Oh, it feels so good to have a simple wish

Where life and death is me and some old fish

Poor king sits with a cold beer in his hand

And he surveys a clear blue kingdom on the sand.



So I'll go somewhere and sing my songs again

More than likely ride back to the places I have been

In fairness to my music and my friends

So I'll go somewhere and sing my songs again...
