I want to be free, it’s either do or die This is in me, I’m running from these lies I must move on from this continued mistake I won’t take no, I’ve got no time to waste It’s time I changed my ways, don’t want to be the same No, I won’t stay the same I’m moving on to grace, giving up my old ways No, I won’t stay the same ---

Almost Heaven: West Virginia. Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River. Life is old there, older than the trees, Younger than the mountains, flowing like a breeze. ---

In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep From the mountains of faith To the river so deep I must be looking for something Something sacred I lost But the river is wide And it’s too hard to cross And even though I know the river is wide I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore And try to cross to the opposite side So I can finally find what I’ve been looking for ---

The water is wide, I cannot get oer Neither have I wings to fly Give me a boat that can carry two And both shall row, my love and I A ship there is and she sails the sea She’s loaded deep as deep can be But not so deep as the love I’m in I know not if I sink or swim ---

Last night I heard a sweet voice callin’, “Come along, won’t you come along home.” Wind on the river and the calves all bawlin’, “Come along, won’t you come along home.” Come along, won’t you come along home now. Night is fallin’ and the path is steep. Come along, won’t you come along home now. Water’s runnin’ and the river is deep. Wind goes “Whoosh!” And the trees are sighin’, “Come along, won’t you come along home now.” Somebody’s born and somebody’s dyin’. “Come along, won’t you come along home now.” Come along, won’t you come along home now. Night is fallin’ and the path is steep. Come along, won’t you come along home now. Water’s runnin’ and the river is deep. Every night the voice gets bolder., “Come along, won’t you come along home now.” Song gets sweeter as I grow older, “Come along, won’t you come along home now.” Come along, won’t you come along home now. Night is fallin’ and the path is steep. Come along, won’t you come along home now. Water’s runnin’ and the river is deep. ---

Hold on, to me as we go As we roll down this unfamiliar road And although this wave (wave) is stringing us along Just know you’re not alone Cause I’m gonna make this place your home Settle down, it’ll all be clear Don’t pay no mind to the demons They fill you with fear The trouble it might drag you down You get lost, you can always be found Just know you’re not alone Cause I’m gonna make this place your home ---

Oh come all you young fellers so young and so fine Seek not your fortune in a dark dreary mine It’ll form as a habit and seep in your soul Till the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal Where it’s dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew Where the danger is double and pleasures are few Where the rain never falls the sun never shines It’s a dark as a dungeon way down in the mine ---
