"500 Miles Away From Home"
"500 Miles Away From Home"
I'm five hundred miles away from home.
Teardrops fell on mama's note when I read the things she wrote
She said, "We miss you son, we love you come on home."
Well, I didn't have to pack, I had it all right on my back
Now I'm five hundred miles away from home.
Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles
Away from home.
I know this is the same road I took the day I left home
But it sure looks different now
Well, I guess I look different too cause time changes everything
I wonder what they'll say when they see their boy looking this way
Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home.
Can't remember when I ate it's just thumb and walk and wait
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home
If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home.
Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I'm five hundred miles
Away from home...

"A Beggar"
"A Beggar"
Here am I a beggar
I never thought it would turn out like this
I'd be begging for your kiss
But I must have your love
Here am I a beggar
I've reached the point of no return
I've gone too far where you're concerned
And I need your love
Here am I a beggar
Without your love I'm poor
But wealthy I would be
If you would eat my humble plea
And give your heart to me
Cause I must have your love
Here am I a beggar
Here am I a beggar
Without your love I'm poor
But wealthy I would be
If you would eat my humble plea
And give your heart to me
Cause I must have your love
Here am I a beggar
A beggar, beggar, beggar

"A Bird Named Yesterday"
"A Bird Named Yesterday"
I had a bird he flew away
And I guess he's gone to stay
But I see him winging on his way
My flyaway bird named Yesterday.
He's over the place of my birth
He's circling a spot that I know
He's hangin' around the Saw Mill town
Where the gentle summer breezes blow.
I had a bird he flew away
And I guess he's gone to stay
But I see him winging on his way
My flyaway bird named Yesterday.
He's riding on a train
He's down at the old swimmin' hole
He'll fly till he finds
That old gang of mine.
Then he'll search for a tree
A big tall oak tree
Then he'll look from his perch
At the old country church.
I had a bird he flew away
And I guess he's gone to stay
But I see him winging on his way
My flyaway bird named Yesterday...
[Narrative by Bobby spoken after song:]
My name is Bob, Bill my name is Joe. I live in Little Rock, Seattle. I even
live in Kokomo. I was born in a big city and I was born on a farm (he's over
the place of my birth) And I was born and grew up in a little town in southern
Ohio and I still live here. You know my town never changed much until a few
years ago When that big industrial outfit came in and bought up a lot of the
land around here. Fact is they just about bought the whole town.

"A Candle In The Wind (I'm Not)"
"A Candle In The Wind (I'm Not)"
'Neath your feet you feel the world is shaking
And your dreams slowly sifting thro' your hand
But there's a place you'll never be forsaken
I'm a warm fire burning, not a candle in the wind.
Life can be a silver river winding
With the dark side awaiting 'round the bend
But for you, a light is always shining
'Cause I'm a warm fire burning, not a candle in the wind.
And I'll be waiting here with arms that ache to hold you
Till forever turns around and starts again
Should you need someone who'll never harm you
I'm a warm fire burning, not a candle in the wind.
And I'll be waiting here with arms that ache to hold you
Till forever turns around and starts again
Should you need someone who'll never harm you
I'm a warm fire burning, not a candle in the wind...

"A Cloudy Sky"
"A Cloudy Sky"
Love is just a cloudy sky
As far as I can see
And that old cloud up in the sky
He's in love like me.
The moon she is a pretty girl
Who lives up in the stars
And that old cloud he's a lonely man
Who loves her from afar.
When that moon smiles down on him
Cloud is all a wonder
Then he starts to sing to her and you know
That's what makes the thunder.
That's what makes the thunder.
Love is just a cloudy sky
As far as I can see
And that old cloud up in the sky
He's in love like me.
And you know that cloud is a jealous man
And if the night is clear
He'll drift across hide her face
So no one else can see 'er.
Some dark nights she won't come out
When he starts a calling
And tears come rolling down his cheeks
That's the rain a falling.
But when the night is gettin' light
And he can see her leaving
He blows a wind kiss cross the sky
Saying see ye tomorrow evening darling
See you tomorrow evening.
Love is just a cloudy sky
As far as I can see
And that old cloud up in the sky
He's in love like me...

"A Dear John Letter"
"A Dear John Letter"
Dear John, oh, how I hate to write
Dear John, I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has died the way like grass upon the lawn
And tonight I wed another, dear John.
I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me
He handed me a letter and I was just as happy as I could be
Cause the fighting was all over and the battles have all been won
But then I opened up the letter and that started, dear John.
Won't you please send back my picture my husband wants it now
When I tell you who I'm wedding you won't care dear anyhow
And it hurts me so to tell you that my love for you has gone
But tonight I wed your brother, dear John.
And tonight I wed another, dear John...

"Abilene"
Abilene, Abilene,
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene.
Crowded cities ain't nothing free
Nothing in this town for me
How I wish that I could be
In Abilene, my Abilene.
Abilene, Abilene
Prettiest town I've ever seen
Women there don't treat you mean
In Abilene, my Abilene.
I sit alone most every night
Watch those trains pull out of sight
How I wish they were carryin' me
Back to Abilene, sweet Abilene.

"Able Bodied Man"
"Able Bodied Man"
I'm calling from the station and I haven't got much time to let you know
Got a ticket for Missouri and there's things I need to say before I go
If I could I'd have you meet me but I don't see how I can
I don't have enough to pay your fare
There's a factory in Columbus hirin' now I understand
And they're looking for an able bodied man
Baby you should get some money in the letter that I mailed two days ago
But when I wrote the letter saying you could come to me I didn't know
That I was goin' to lose my job in such a little while
Now I guess we'll have to change our plan
They may not hire me in Columbus but I'm pretty sure they will
Cause they're looking for an able bodied man
If I had more education now I'd a' made a better life for me and you
But just simple manual labor is the only kind of work that I can do
The bus is loadin' for Missouri so I guess I'd better go
Hon I'll call you up as soon as I can
I'll be sending you a ticket cause I know I'll get a job
If they're looking for an able bodied man
I'll be sending you a ticket cause I know I'll get a job
And remember I'm your able bodied man

"Alimony"
Alimony alimony work till my fingers are bloody and boney
Me oh my oh goodness sake I'm paying for my mistake
Ali-money I call it ali-money you married men may think it's funny
Till one fine day you'll wake and find you're paying for your mistake
Every Friday when I get my pay I put it in an envelope and mail it away
Same old song with a little more blues in it
I'm paying for it while someone else's usin' it
Alimony alimony I thought I bought steak and it was all baloney
Me oh my oh goodness sake I'm paying for my mistake
Alimony alimony...
Every payday paying for my mistake yes I am friends
