Someplace Far Away
by: Hal Ketchum
DDaddy brought home a photograph
from the pGaper yesterdDay.
DIt showed a line of wagons
Movin' sGomeplace far aAway.
GThat picture made my Daddy smile
And it mDade my MoAmma cBmry.
GSeems like Daddy's wagonload of dreams
have long since passed him Aby.
CHORUS:
GAnd the dreams that make a sparrow fly
can mDake an eagle fall.
GOne that makes a rich man money
DAin't no dream at aAll.
GIt's a crying shame to wake up
Just to find its aDll been brAoke in tBmwo.
GCareful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come tDrue.
2. Well, he talked on all through suppertime
'bout a good prospector's life.
Couldn't see Momma didn't want to be
No good prospector's wife.
He said we best sail out and go
before the weather turns to cold.
Maybe buy ourselves an extry horse
to carry all that gold.
CHORUS:
3. Well, I got up as soon as the first light came
to start the mornin' fire.
Wonderin' if my Momma's will
Cooled that man's desire.
And inside the stove upon the coals
And ash and paper lay.
Was a ghostly line of wagons
movin' someplace far away.
CHORUS:
(repeat last line of chorus)
There! I think that should erase the brain fart.
Later.
