Way down in my Soul
03:11
|

Way down in my heart
way down deep in my soul
She’s a woman to me
she set my spirit free
and she reached way down in my soul
There’s a song I hear from the mountain
by the river she sings for me
the keeper of the key
to make my spirit whole
and she reach way down in my soul
I wandered through a desert
searching for a paradise
I roamed and endless trail
through a wilderness
I got lost inside my mind, and I always failed to find
then she reached way down in my soul
She’s a treasure to hold, a mystic’s dream and a poet’s gold
and she reached way down in my soul

My bags are all packed up
the city’s got me feeling down
Swear I’m taking
the next train out of town
I worked hard every day
and my hair is turning gray
I do believe, I’ve had enough
I was holding down a job
just south of houston for a while
serving time,
making someone else a dime
there ain’t nothing I’d rather do
than lose these city blues
I do believe, I’ve had enough
I think it’s high time,
to get moving down the line
don’t care where I’m headed
I’m highway bound, to some place new
cause this morning, i woke up
and the going got real tough
I do believe I’ve had enough
My bags are all packed up
spent enough time on these streets
I'm gonna settle down someplace
and take things a little more slow pace
no need to run me out of town
I’ve got my feet on solid ground
I do believe, that I’ve had enough

Take your love out of town dear
take your love far away from me
It don’t matter any more now
forsaking love, I taught you how
Get yourself out on the highway
It’s easy there to get lost
lord knows I treated you the wrong way
and we’re both paying the cost
I know tonight, you’re loving someone
loving him like you loved me
and if tonight, you’re missing someone
come on back here where you belong
so take your love out of town dear
take your love far away from me

This Highway
03:59
|

This highway keeps going, on and on
And time keeps moving, right along
I pray for good weather, and for a peaceful ride
And this highway keeps going on and on
I've spent 30 or so years running down this road
I have many many stories still untold
A man can never know, when it’s his time to go
And this highway keeps going on and on
The wind’s blowing soft and cool across my face
And my mind wanders back, to that old place
Nothing seems to last, It’s just a moment in the past
And this highway keeps going on and on
Sometimes I stop and wonder, just where I’m headed to
And this highway keeps going on and on

Songs my Mama Sang
03:07
|
|||
|
Back when i was a little baby
mama sang sweet songs to me
she sang them there in sunlight
just a young boy with a life left to see
I left my home for the city
I found a life I'd never known
I walked the streets, there in the moonlight
just a young man with a hammer on the stone
Now I’m young, but growing older
I'm seeing what's in this life to see
and at night, by my bedside
I sing the songs my mama sang to me
This old world, is filled with sorrow
no more sweet songs or melody
just old wars, and deception
I can hear, my mama cry

You spend your days, on the 42nd floor
making plans for parties in the night
you’ve got a man dressed up
to stand there by your door
you’re a girl who likes everything just right
You wear the finest clothes, and the latest fashions
you prefer to keep the conversation light
the magazines all say, the way you ought to be
you’re a high class city girl from the country
I’ve heard your kind of story
a hundred times before
seen your face around
the fancy clubs down town
I won’t stand in the way
while you’re chasing down those dreams
and the years start to show on your face
I don’t make a lot of money
i don’t have a lot friends
and we all try to make something out of nothing in the end
that time is gonna pass some day you’re gonna see
you’re just a high class city girl from the country
Back home all those girls
ain’t got nothing on you
you’re actress model and a singer too
mama raised you right, and daddy lived to protect you
you’re a high class city girl from the country

I walk in circles everyday
wishing I could take this pain away
In angry rage, I couldn’t see
I can’t let go, even though I set you free
The roses i bought, are on the floor
You tried to walk out the door
but this gun, will keep you here with me
I can’t let go, even though I set you free
To late my love, to turn back
too many, many tears you cried each night
my love for you was first degree
I can’t let go, even though I set you free
They’ll place some roses on your grave
the judge won’t show me any grace
And the Lord, He won’t forgive me
I can’t let go, even though I set you free
Too late my love, to turn back
so many, many tears I’ll cry each night
my love for you was first degree
I can’t let go, even though I set you free
I can’t let go, even though I set you free

She's leaving in the morning
We're staying here tonight
Love came without warning
Now it's fading out of site
I keep living and believing
It's how it used to be
Like old times when we were dreaming
When she loved no one else but me
Ain't no use in crying
Or trying to understand
Why seasons keep on turning
And the dealer deals the hand
It was time that I was stealing
Now I'm on the wrong side
She's leaving in the morning
And lord knows that I tried
Soon that sun will be shining
And there's a shadow over me
I spent the night denying
A day a never thought I'd see

I know you’re proud, you found someone
to love you like I do
You think that I will lose my mind
Now that we are through
You know I need and want your loving
I never thought I’d say
he can have tomorrow, I’ll take yesterday
I’ll take yesterday
because I couldn’t hold you back
I’ll take yesterday
I won’t ask for more than that
Don’t waste your precious time on me
I'll soon be on my way
he can have tomorrow, I’ll take yesterday
I know you’re proud you found the life
that I offered you
You’re happy that today is here,
and yesterday is through
I know he wants and has your loving
it hurts me when i say
he can have tomorrow, I’ll take yesterday

For a moment or Two
03:49
|

|
See that wall over there, it’s been telling me lie after lie
and for a moment or two, I believe what it’s saying to me
I’ll just sit in this chair, I’m content here alone in this room
and for a moment or two, I’ll pretend that I never lost you
It’s not very hard, to tell myself that I’ve had it easy
It hasn’t been hard, to live in a world
where love slips through your hands
And It’s alright with me,
I’ll believe that these lies are the truth
and for a moment or two,
I’ll pretend that I never lost you
And for a moment or two
I’m convinced that I never lost you

Long Time Coming
by Sierra Ferrell
supported by 21 fans who also own “This Highway”
Sierra Ferrell's music is the nectar that drips from vocal chords of angels on ecstacy and percocet, dripping with honey, and smelling of grandma's brownies. It has been proven to "cure what ails ya", and it temporarily wards off the existential dread that is slowly encompassing us all. Don't let the absurdity of our existence get you down. Listen to Sierra Ferrell instead. I am me and I approved this message.
