Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Out along the road to no return Silence rules the day and knows no friend The troubled past and all her tribe adjourn To watch your dreams unravel in the wind [Chorus] But each new morning sunrise Is just as good as gold And all the hope inside you Will keep you from the cold Bare your soul let your spirit burn Out along the road to no return The sweet smell of nighttime rides on the breeze The river is winding through the hickory trees The redbones are howling down by Wilson's Bridge The lawmen stand waiting upon Deadman's Ridge [Chorus] Ooh Carolina so dark I can't see Ooh Carolina won't you let me go free I came here with Lily a year just last fall We left her old daddy back in Oonegal We made us a home place of Black Mountain stone But one cold winter morning I woke up alone [Chorus] Days full of silence are so incomplete Nights without Lily I took to the streets And in the streets of Asheville I channeled my pain 'Til one raging black night I slept in the rain I dreamed of a refuge a red velvet world And I swore my sweet Lily was one of the girls I loved her so madly I loved her so long I woke with my dream girl but her life was all gone [Chorus] Love has no boundary sorrow no end And the lawmen of Asheville have no mercy in them [Chorus] Let me reach Tennessee
