TIME TO TALK TO JOSEPHWRITING CREDITS TIM O'BRIEN (HOWDY SKIES MUSIC / UNIVERSAL MUSIC CORP, ADMIN BY BLUEWATER MUSIC, ASCAP)MUSIC TIM O'BRIEN - BANJO, VOCALS / DARRELL SCOTT - ACOUSTIC GUITAR, VOCALS

I lay awake til morning, mind racing through the gloomI practice shadow puppets on my side of the room You softly snore beside me as I make the �gures danceUntil �nally I’m laughing at the random path of chance

It’s time to talk to JosephGonna pack my little sack�ere isn’t much I really needTo wander o� the trackI’ll be sleeping under ledgesEating what I �ndI’ll read the reaching branchesStrum your heartstrings in my mind

I think I’ll head on up the north bank, turn left up Campbell’s creek�ere’s an old grey man that lives up there and his counsel now I seek�ose twisting nooks and crannies, those hollers dark and deepAre calling to me in my dreams, whenever I can sleep


�ere’s too many threads to follow and it seems the only wayIs to dive into the darkness that leads me into dayDon’t worry bout me darling, I’m comin back againMy spirit will be stronger from a power deep within



IT ALL COMES DOWN TO LOVEWRITING CREDITS DARRELL SCOTT (I IMAGINE MUSIC, ADMIN BY BMG, ASCAP)MUSIC DARRELL SCOTT - BOUZOUKI, VOCALS / TIM O'BRIEN - GUITAR, VOCALS

Well the thing about a dead end roadFor a while it’s easy to followRunning scared with eyes closedI guess I should have known

Oh the thing about a love gone wrongInside goes where outside once wasHere I sit with a bucket of songs �at no one else will sing

Oh hear me blow like the wind on the prairieHere for a while and then I’m goneTalking to myself I’m the only one to listen to meWaiting like a christian for the dawn

I walk out in the freezing cold Wake me up, help to rememberMe, I’m always looking for homeAnd a reason to remain

I see it in the �eeting �owSilent eyes, moon on the waterHow the heavens brightly show meTo the here and now

Oh, in the end there’s a feast of milk and cookiesLion and the lamb will be thereNymphs and virgins all stand in line to greet meBuddha waits to comb my silken hair

�e thing about a troubled lifeTrouble is a cat on the freewayWhere the rubber meets the roadShe’ll �nd another way

Oh, the thing about a broken heart�e remedy’s the same as the breakingTelling us all what we already knowAnd it all comes down to love

It all comes down to loveIt all comes down to love

BROTHER WINDWRITING CREDITS TIM O'BRIEN (HOWDY SKIES MUSIC / UNIVERSAL MUSIC CORP, ADMIN BY BLUEWATER MUSIC, ASCAP)MUSIC TIM O'BRIEN - GUITAR, VOCALS / DARRELL SCOTT - BARITONE ACOUSTIC GUITAR, VOCALS

Made up my mind to go Some place so far away I headed westWithout a sad goodbye, no hugs or tears that wayProbably for the bestSent cards along the waySaid I was lookin’ for a brand new lifeBut I never settled down, my wanderlust would always Cut the ties like a knifeSometimes the lonesome windIt calls out just like it knows meAnd on a night like this, when I don’t know where to goIt shows me the way

He knows me, my brother windHe’s lonely too, and he takes me away

I always looked aheadI was so afraid I’d be caught behindFollowed a crooked stream to places I have never beenAnd one more highway signI’m like some other guysI might count the hours til the day will endBut it’s not so I can rest, for me it’s the time that’s bestFor talkin to my friend

He knows me, my brother windHe’s lonely too, and he takes me away

Now half my life is gone�e only home I ever had is open roadMy skin’s all cracked and brown, a mirror to the dessert groundAnd the dusty wind that always blowsI never made a markI just scattered footsteps on these shifting sandsWhatever pushes me, it’s something only heCould ever understand

He knows me, my brother windHe’s lonely too, and he takes me awayHe knows me, my brother windHe’s lonely too, and he takes me away


MEMORIES AND MOMENTS WRITING CREDITS DARRELL SCOTT (I IMAGINE MUSIC, ASCAP)MUSIC DARRELL SCOTT - BOUZOUKI, VOCALS / TIM O'BRIEN - FIDDLE, VOCALS

I wish that I could hold to youWhen day is done ‘til life is throughBut all I have to hold on toAre these memories and moments

I try so hard to be at peaceTo still my mind, catch and releaseFrom walking tall to on my kneesIt’s these memories and moments

Now back again, back to the topPray it will end, but it won’t stopIt’s waiting there, up around the bend�e river �ows, it’ll never end

�e weaver pulls her endless threadShe dreams awake, she dreams in bedShe hears the words he never saidIn her memories and moments

Now back again, back to the topPray it will end, but it won’t stopIt’s waiting there, up around the bend�e river �ows, it’ll never end

I live for love that’s what I do�ere’s love in me, there’s love in youWith a broken voice, our (my) song is trueIn these memories and moments


PARADISEWRITING CREDITS JOHN PRINE (WB MUSIC CORP. O/B/O WALDEN MUSIC, INC., BMI)MUSIC JOHN PRINE : ACOUSTIC GUITAR, VOCALS / DARRELL SCOTT: DOBRO, VOCALS / TIM O'BRIEN: FIDDLE, VOCALSMIKE BUB - BASS

When I was a child my family would travelDown to Western Kentucky where my parents were born�ere’s a backwards old town that’s often rememberedSo many times that my memories are worn

And daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg CountyDown by the Green River where Paradise layWell, I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in askingMister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away

Well, sometimes we’d travel right down the Green RiverTo the abandoned old prison down by Adrie HillWhere the air smelled like snakes and we’d shoot with our pistolsBut empty pop bottles was all we would kill

Daddy won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg CountyDown by the Green River where Paradise layWell, I’m sorry my son, but you’re too late in askingMister Peabody’s coal train has hauled it away

�en the coal company came with the world’s largest shovelAnd they tortured the timber and stripped all the landWell, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken�en they wrote it all down as the progress of man


When I die let my ashes �oat down the Green RiverLet my soul roll on up to the Rochester damI’ll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waitin’Just �ve miles away from wherever I am



JUST ONE MOREWRITING CREDITS GEORGE JONES (PAPPY DAILY MUSIC LLP OBO STARRITE PUB. COM & GLAD MUSIC PUB AND RECORDING LLP OBO STARRITE PUB. CO., BMI)MUSIC TIM O'BRIEN: FIDDLE, VOCALS / DARRELL SCOTT: ACOUSTIC, VOCALS

Well, one more drink of wine�en if you’re still on my mindOne drink, just one more and then another

Put the bottle on the table, let it stay there till I’m not ableTo see your face in ev’ry place that I goI’ve been sitting here so longJust remembering that you are gone

One more drink of wine�en if you’re still on my mindOne drink, just one more and then another

I’ll keep drinking, it won’t matterI’ll just remember that I once had herI don’t know why I sit and cry ev’ry dayI’ve been trying to forget, but I haven’t stopped it yet

One more drink of wineAnd if you’re still on my mindOne drink, just one more and then another

One more drink of wineAnd if you’re still on my mindOne drink, just one more and then another


FIDDLER JONESWRITING CREDITS DARRELL SCOTT (I IMAGINE MUSIC, ADMIN BY BMG, ASCAP)MUSIC DARRELL SCOTT: ACOUSTIC GUITAR, VOCALS / TIM O'BRIEN: FIDDLE, VOCALS

�e earth gives us music, it’s there in your heartIf you’re lucky you feel it in the end from the startYou hear it, it hears you, you trust and obeyWhere’er it may lead you, you wont go astray

It brought me a �ddle, so �ddle I doFrom the coal-camp to the sawmill, I’ve left many a tuneI’ve played in the jailhouse on a prisoners last nightWe both cried like a baby til dawn’s early light

All the pretty girls dancing, I still hear their skirts�ey’re spinning and prancing with dandies and �irtsI play through the laughter, I play all alone‘til it’s me and the horses, pack up and go homeAnd the people all know me wherever I go�ere’s Fiddler Jones, there goes Fiddler Jones

I have forty acres, a mule and a plowI no more get started and one comes aroundFor a picnic or wedding, we strike us a dealAnd i’m o� in their wagon my plow in the �eld

I hear choirs and symphonies up in my headIn the wind in the cornstalks, my heartbeat in bedIn the river at midnight, the creak of a door In red-headed sammy tapping o� toor-a-loor

I’ve �ddled for governers, I’ve �ddled for slavesI’ve �ddled at birthings, I’ve �ddled on gravesI’ve one thousand memories I’ll never forgetOne broken �ddle, and not a single regretAnd the people all know me wherever I go�ere’s �ddler jones, there goes �ddler jones

And the people all know me wherever I go�ere’s Fiddler Jones, there comes Fiddler Jones

ALONE AND FORSAKENWRITING CREDITS HANK WILLIAMS (SONY/ATV ACUFF ROSE MUSIC / RIGHTSONG MUSIC, INC. O/B/O HIRIAM MUSIC, BMI) MUSIC DARRELL SCOTT: BARITONE ACOUSTIC GUITAR, VOCALS / TIM O'BRIEN: BOUZOUKI, VOCALS

Alone and forsaken by fate and by manOh, Lord, if you hear me please hold to my handHelp me understand

We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold�e pastures were green and the meadows were goldOur love was in �ower as summer grew onHer love like the leaves now has withered and gone

�e roses have faded, there’s frost at my door�e birds in the morning don’t sing any more�e grass in the valley is starting to dieAnd out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry


Oh, where has she gone to, oh, where can she beShe may have forsaken some other like meShe promised to honor, to love and obeyEach vow was a plaything that she threw away


�e darkness has fallem, the sky has turned grayA hound in the distance is starting to beyI wonder, I wonder - who she’s thinking ofForsaken, forgotten - without any love

You don’t own me, I just let you treat me like you doYou don’t own me, I just let you treat me like you doI let you hold me, but someday I’ll break away from you

�at �rst sweet taste got me comin back for moreJust one sweet taste, I keep on crawlin back for moreI thought I’d had enough, but I’m still hangin’ round your door

Every morning, I wake up and think I’ll get awayEvery morning, I wake up and think I’ll get awayBy the time the night falls, I think I’ll stay another day

But you don’t own me, I just let you treat me like you doYou don’t own me, I just let you treat me like you doI let you hold me, but someday I’m gonna break away from you

�ere’s a picture where I use to look so young and freeLook at this picture, I used to look so young and freeBut that was long ago, before you got your hold on me

It feels so good now, you got me �yin ten feet o� the groundMy brain so cloudy, I can’t even see the world aroundYou keep me �yin so high, I don’t know when you bring me down

I don’t need you, you just got me thinkin that I doI don’t need you, you just got me thinkin that I doIt’s such a sweet lie, I start believin that it’s true

You don’t own me, I just let you treat me like you doYou don’t own me, I just let you treat me like you doI let you hold me, but someday I’ll break away from you


ANGEL’S BLUE EYES WRITING CREDITS DARRELL SCOTT (I IMAGINE MUSIC, ADMIN BY BMG, ASCAP)MUSIC DARRELL SCOTT: BANJO, VOCALS / TIM O'BRIEN: GUITAR, VOCALS

I will meet you in NebraskaWhere the Platte runs muddy and wideAnd the crane come for the feedingI’ll be standing by your side

Summer winds will stir the sandhillsTrader clouds will dim our viewWe’ll be watching from the windowFor the shadows to turn to blue

Give me something to believe inWhen this world turns dark and coldTell me sunlight’s shining somewhereDreams are bought but never sold

Give me lovin’ in abundanceGive me love that never dies�ere’s no light in all creation Like the light in my angel’s blue eyes

When the leaves fall in the autumnGathered up to make our bedOh, daylight �ickering ‘neath the branchesAnd my arm a pillow for your head

Oh, I will meet you in the morningFrom the longest night of the yearWinter’s blanket freezing all around usOh, I’ll be there babe to hold you near

Give me something to believe inWhen this world turns dark and coldTell me sunlight’s shining somewhereDreams are bought but never sold

Give me lovin’ in abundance, give me love that never dies�ere’s no light in all creation Like the light in my angel’s blue eyesLike the light in my angel’s blue eyes


FREE AGAINWRITING CREDITS TIM O'BRIEN (HOWDY SKIES MUSIC / UNIVERSAL MUSIC CORP, ADMIN BY BLUEWATER MUSIC, ASCAP) MUSIC TIM O'BRIEN: BOUZOUKI, VOCALS / DARRELL SCOTT: ACOUSTIC GUITAR, VOCALS

I used to pray to an idol, I don’t do that anymoreI used to bow down to a king, scrape my chin across the �oorI used to be ruled by hatred, fear and jealousyI used to be ruled by all these things, but I never more will be

I use to bow down to the bottle, to the holy cigaretteI was a fool for money, wanted all that I could getI’d do anything for a woman, if I thought that she’d have meNow I’ve given up on all these things and �nally I’m free

Chorus:I’m free again, like I have been rebornIt’s a brand new day, in the early hours of mornAnd I’m walkin away, from the trouble I’ve been inI'm free again

I was afraid to look inside, to see what I might �ndIt might be worse than cancer, maybe I would lose my mindI kept myself distracted, I found a thousand waysI used to let them weigh me down, now I let them fall away

As soon as I stop tryin, I �nd an easy wayStop lookin for the future, start living for todayI give up on perfection, start breathing easilyAnd if I ever need an answer, I just look inside of me

I don’t need a banker, his silver and his goldI don’t need to be young and thin, I’m happy growin oldAnd lately I’ve been thinkin, there’s hope for you and me‘Cause maybe now I’m ready, to be all I can be

Chorus and tag chorus


ON LIFE’S OTHER SIDEWRITING CREDITS DARRELL SCOTT (I IMAGINE MUSIC, ADMIN BY BMG, ASCAP) MUSIC DARRELL SCOTT: PIANO, VOCALS / TIM O'BRIEN: MANDOLIN, VOCALS

When joy is a memory as faint as a dreamAnd you su�er in silence where others would screamBe still in the knowing there’s peace for the mindEvery soul is bid welcome on life’s other side

Oh brother, oh sister, please answer the callWhen trouble and trial and shadow hides allOur lost and our wayward will soon come to �nd�eir path to pure sunlight on life’s other side

On life’s other side we’ll wander and tarry no moreOn life’s other side we’ll carry the weight of this old world no moreWe'll walk with each other with nothing to hideEvery path of pure sunlight on life’s other side

You mothers, you fathers who’ve given your allYou sons and you daughters who've built your own wallsYour walls will come tumbling with nary a soundNo harm and no blame for all burdens laid down

On life’s other side we’ll wander and tarry no moreOn life’s other side we’ll carry the weight of this old world no moreWe'll walk with each other with nothing to hideEvery sorrow forgiven on life’s other sideEvery path of pure sunlight on life’s other side
