sammy walker – blue ridge mountain skyline (live) lyrics
[verse 1]
starin’ out the window of a lonesome railroad train
a drink for you, a drink for me, a drink for sweet lorraine
huckleberry memories of little women pourin’ wine
make the time pass better when i miss that gal ‘a mine, m+hmm
[verse 2]
dark saloons and hotel rooms, just seem to bring me down
i wish that i was a+leavin’ when i first get into town
say “h+llo” to grandma if you see her in the spring
perhaps i’ll send her all my love on a carrier pigeon’s wing, m+hmm
[chorus]
and if i could only see beyond that blue ridge mountain skyline
if i could only somehow find that road to way back when
if i could give it up and throw it out the window
i’d pack my bag at daybreak and never be heard about again
[verse 3]
i miss the fun of a tall tale that the old factory man could spin
a pinch of snuff and a checkerboard could really pacify that man
but the tables turned and the old man died with the changing of the guard
i don’t mind the changing, it’s just sometimes it comes so hard, m+hmm
[verse 4]
still nights on the front porch seem so far away and small
when we hear the ploughboy wailin’ out that lonesome cattle call
the jukebox in the cafe don’t play nothin’ that i know
h+ll, i guess i’ll save my quarter, and hear that steam boat whistle blow, m+hmm
[chorus]
and if i could only see beyond that blue ridge mountain skyline
if i could only somehow find that road to way back when
if i could give it up and throw it out the window
i’d pack my bag at daybreak and never be heard about again
[verse 5]
guess i’d head back home for christmas if they left things up to me
maybe get lost in the mountains somewheres down in tennessee
but san bernardino is a long way from home
twenty miles from nowhere, twenty bucks by telephone, m+hmm
[chorus]
and if i could only see beyond that blue ridge mountain skyline
if i could only somehow find that road to way back when
if i could give it up and throw it out the window
i’d pack my bag at daybreak and never be heard about again
