Songtext von Some Place Far Away

Daddy brought home a photograph from the paper yesterday It showed a line of wagons movin some place far away That picture made my daddy smile, it made my momma cry It seems that Daddy's wagonload of dreams had long since passedher by (Chorus) And the dream that makes the sparrow fly can make an eagle fall And one that makes the rich man money, it ain't no dream at all It's a cryin shame to wake up just to find it's all been broke intwo Be careful what you're dreamin cause it someday may come true He talked on all through suppertime bout the good prospector'slife Couldn't see Momma didn't wanna be no good prospector's wife He said, "We best sell out and go before the weather turns toocold Maybe buy ourselves an extra horse to carry all the gold" (Repeat Chorus) I got up as soon as the first light came to start the morninfire Wonderin if my momma's will had cooled that man's desire And inside the stove upon the coals an ashen paper lay It showed a ghostly line of wagons movin some place far away (Repeat Chorus) Oh be careful what you're dreamin cause it someday may cometrue Yeah be careful what you're dreamin cause it someday may cometrue
