1.How Far
Lyricist：Gary Nicholson, Leroy Winchester Powell
And I left Dallas for Birmingham
And I hit the ground, you changed your plans
You jumped a plane and back to Arkansas
How far do I have to go to get to you, babe？
Swam in the river and I sailed the seas
Climbed up the mountain, all the tallest trees
I'll shoot the moon, swing from the stars
I'll take a rocket ship all the way to Mars
How far do I have to go to get to you, babe？
And how far do I have to go to get to you？
You don't mean to tease me, baby
To take me for a ride
It ain't your fault that you hooked my heart
And you left me on the line
You reeled me in from my bed
And it ain't right to do me like that
Body talks and I hear you say
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
(How far？)
No, I won't or that I should
(How far？)
The way I need you, oh, it ain't good
(How far？)
You got me weak, you took control
(How far？)
You twist my heart and confuse my soul
How far do I have to go to get to you, babe？
And how far do I have to go to get to you？
How far do I have to go？
How far do I have to go？
How far do I have to go to get to you, babe？
2.Bar, Guitar and a Honky Tonk Crowd
End post floatin' on a southbound breeze,
Somewhere between heaven and tall pine trees,
Heartland I'm missin' you,
Guitar playin' through the night,
It felt pretty good yeah I'm feelin' alright,
As good as one for the price of two.
Its been along time gone,
Since the truths been told,
And I've seen my home,
Hey Curtis Loew,
Come on save my soul,
With a bar, guitar and a honky tonk crowd.
Buy me a ticket Lord put me on a train,
Don't matter how I go I'll even walk through the rain,
Southland I'm missin' you,
Well the sky is high and the moon is low,
I found some country tunes playin' on the radio,
And I know that I'm there, Lord I know I'm there.
Its been a long time gone,
Since the truths been told,
And I've seen my home,
Hey Curtis Loew,
Come on save my soul,
With a bar, guitar and a honky tonk crowd.
Its been a long time gone,
Since the truths been told,
And I've seen my home,
Hey Curtis Loew,
Come on save my soul,
With a bar, guitar and a honky tonk crowd
With a bar, guitar and a honky tonk crowd.

4.Ballad of a Southern Man
My first rifle was a .243,
Papa gave Daddy and Daddy gave to me,
and they taught me how to shoot with a steady hand,
I guess that's something you don't understand.
Now I grew up on a prison farm,
sneaking pulls of shine from a mason jar,
used to go fishing out pickle creek dam,
but I guess that's something you don't understand.
Grandmas in the kitchen;
Papas drunk past dawn;
We sit out on the front porch,
Just a pickin' on the songs;
and there's blood on the table,
cause we work for what we have;
and I was raised in this land,
I guess that's something you don't understand.
I still fly that southern flag,
whistling Dixieland enough to brag,
and I know all the words to simple man,
I guess that's something you don't understand.
I pledge my allegiance the original way,
say Merry Christmas not happy holidays,
I can't change my ways I know who I am,
I guess that's something you don't understand.
Grandmas in the kitchen;
Papas drunk past dawn;
we sit out on the front porch,
just a pickin' on the songs;
and there's blood on the table,
cause we work for what we have;
and I was raised in this land,
I guess that's something you don't understand.
A pile of soap and a big machine;
I'll feed us all on the same beliefs,
Holy dollar and a credit card;
but we got a way of doing things,
and no bankers gonna steal from me;
they wanna tear it all apart.
Grandmas in the kitchen;
Papas done past on;
we sit out on the front porch,
just a pickin' on the songs;
and there's a bible on the table,
cause he bleed for what we have,
and that's the ballad of a southern man,
I guess that's something you don't understand.
My first rifle was a .243,
Papa gave Daddy and Daddy gave to me.

6.Broken Window Serenade
A couple of pretty flowers
Is what I brought I to you
I saw you through a broken window
With a different point of view
You had signs of depression
From a long line of sin
And your face tells a story
Bout the places you have been
I love you so,
I thought you should know
And that muddy waters flowin
As you take my hand
Past the creek down by the holler
Through your daddies land
I could buy you a diamond
But I cannot change your world
Cuz I aint got no money
Youll never be my girl no no
I thought you should know
You was gonna be a singer
And a big movie star
But you cant catch no breaks baby
And Hollywood is hard
Now you work down at the time out
Off 155
And youre dancing for your dollar
Just tryin to stay alive
It hurts me so
I thought you should know
You feed your addiction
With your crystal meth
And I plea for your life
as it takes you to your death
You make your deal with the devil
As your looks begin to fade
I saw you laughin through the tears
As you slowly slipped away
I watched you go
I thought you should know
Yeah I watched you go
I thought you should know
That cold rain is pourin
As they lower you in a grave
I can barely recognize you
In your fragile state
No more signs of depression
From a long time ago
I throw in a pretty flower
As they slowly laid you low, it was a rose
I thought you should know
Yeah it was a rose
I thought you should know
A couple of pretty flowers is what I brought to you
I saw you through a broken window
With a different point of view..
7.Different Mold
8.Turn It Up
9.Virginia
Earthquakes and Hurricanes
And slow movin' freight trains
Girl that's how,
You make me feel sometimes
But you were gone away from here
So far my dear
Up by that northern state line
(Chorus)
Virginia
Lie in all my broken dreams
You pick me up
And you sure make me smile
Virginia
And I would give anything
To come dance around
My memory for awhile
Solo
Off in the moonlight,
Sweet southern moonlight
A billion stars,
Bare feet in the sand
I'm countin' down the summer days
Smiling at our reckless ways
You was my girl
And I was your man
Chorus
Solo
That's the way the story goes
Of broken hearts and sad souls
You left me here,
Not saying goodbye
Said you headed with your paw
North Arkansas
But that was back before, 1975
Chorus
