You're tired walking dead upon your feet running on fumes and facing heat And the world has just about got you beat We've gotta get it back So come on over kick off your shoes stay awhile and sing away the blues We've got a choice when we can choose We've gotta get it back Mama said it well when the evil comes it's hard to tell Papa said it so when it does you've got to let it go I remember the summers when I was young we used to fish until the morning come Oh the glories of a rising sun We gotta get it back But the sun got lost along the way, the night came and overtook the day But it doesn't mean the night will stay We've gotta get it back Mama said it well when the evil comes it's hard to tell Papa said it so when it does you've got to let it go No more fits of rage no more madness no more lying no more hate No more fits of rage no more madness no more lying no more hate The folks at the top keep getting you down they roll right in like they own the town But even they might come around We gotta get it back And words of wisdom like being kind and strength of heart and peace of mind Are bound to work if we give them time We gotta get it back Mama said it well when the evil comes it's hard to tell Papa said it so when it does you've got to let it go Mama said it well when the evil comes it's hard to tell Papa said it so when it does you've got to let it go When it does you've got to let it go When it does you've got to let it go

There were flowers in the garden beside the street where we would play There was laughter in the house before everyone went away Tell me a story, sing me a song About the days before things were gone Before the rubble, before the dust Before God in heaven stopped hearing us There were trees up on the mountains there was no fear in the dark There was life in the river and there and was strength in our hearts Tell me a story, sing me a song About the days before things were gone Before the rubble, before the dust Before God in heaven stopped hearing us No more flowers in the garden, no more garden no more street No more laughter in the house, now there’s nobody left to meet Tell me a story, sing me a song About the days before things were gone Before the rubble, before the dust Before God in heaven stopped hearing us Tell me a story, sing me a song About the days before things were gone Before the rubble, before the dust Before God in heaven stopped hearing us

Your eyes were young and I still see them When I close my mind, oh it’s easier at night The streets were wet, but the lights were shining On the ground below and you held on tight I'm gonna rock you baby To eternity I'm gonna rock you baby Until you sleep The years were long until they went missing We both got lost, then we were halfway home I never noticed, but when I pulled you out You picked me up, oh no, to be alone I'm gonna rock you baby To eternity I'm gonna rock you baby Until you sleep Now the kids all came do you hear them singing You’d be proud, Lily sounds just like you I always thought I’d get there first Guess I was wrong but I know what to do I'm gonna rock you baby To eternity I'm gonna rock you baby Until you sleep Your eyes were young and I still see them When I close my mind, oh it’s easier at night The streets were wet, but the lights were shining On the ground below and you held on tight

Goodnight goodnight darling oh darling goodnight Our work is finished now darling We can turn out the light The crickets are singing now darling With their sweet melody The bullfrogs are waking up outside And it's putting me to sleep And I'm swimming up waterfalls darling I'm sailing in the sky You're always there with me now Darling you're always close by Goodnight goodnight darling oh darling goodnight Our work is finished now darling And everything's just right Now everything's just right, right, right Oh everything's just right, right, right Now everything's just right, right, right Oh everything's just right, right, right

You had questions for all their answers, you had answers in return You saw through things we never noticed and the things we never learned Oh Regina when does the light go out you’re the only one I know who could say Oh Regina maybe it was never there or maybe it left along the way You said this world it does damage, it can leave you feeling cold This world it can keep you searching till an emptiness takes hold Oh Regina when does the light go out you’re the only one I know who could say Oh Regina I fear I’m almost there or maybe it left along the way You had vision and passion you knew things we didn’t know But did you notice when it left, did it come fast or was it slow Oh Regina when did the light go out you’re the only one I know who could say Oh Regina I know it was there but somehow it left along the way
6.
When I'd ask how you were doing you’d say I can’t complain But I knew you walked through darkness and I knew you’d tasted pain Your mother left the earth just as you came to be And the love of your life sailed away across the sea Oh Papa you’ve been gone way too long Papa you’ve been gone way too long When the good Lord took you He left us this song Papa you’ve been gone way too long You were shot down in alley and left there to die Staring up in the heavens and never asking why You said I may not have the answers and I could be enraged But I’ve been freed from life’s sorrow I’ve been freed from this cage Oh Papa you’ve been gone way too long Papa you’ve been gone way too long When the good Lord took you He left us this song Papa you’ve been gone way too long So I’m thankful to have known you and it’s a treasure just to see How generations follow and I’m grateful just to be Oh Papa you’ve been gone way too long Papa you’ve been gone way too long When the good Lord took you He left us this song Papa you’ve been gone way too long

The rain pounds against the window The train rocks through the night Unfamiliar words are all around And I hold on tight Oh those days in Georgia But not the one you know We had mountains with early morning snow Oh those days in Georgia But not the one you see Those black waters they still Speak to me Now this city is a wonder Now I guess I have it all And I’m rising to the top But I’ve never felt so small Oh those days in Georgia But not the one you know We had mountains with early morning snow Oh those days in Georgia But not the one you see Those black waters they still Speak to me Sing me a song of sorrow With your sweet harmony 'cause yesterday’s tomorrow Is a place I’m bound to be Now this house is full of people Another year and we rejoice But I slip into the shadows But I guess I’ve made my choice Oh those days in Georgia But not the one you know We had mountains with early morning snow Oh those days in Georgia But not the one you see Those black waters they still Speak to me

Billy he's a running, running to the lord Throwing down the plowshare, picking up the sword He came to save us, up from Tennessee, We followed and followed, wanting to be free He set out to preach the word But now he's killing souls That woman she's beside him, both her hands are soft She smiles as she greets you, as she cuts you off She's sent here from the heavens of this she is sure But the life you live means nothing to her She set out the preach the word But now she's killing souls They're dancing in the kitchen, dancing in the dark Dancing in the attic, dancing in my heart Those evil thoughts come to me, one by one Then they run through me, and I am done I set out to preach the word But now I'm killing souls Oh I set out to preach the word But now I'm killing souls
9.
I could tell you stories I was going somewhere I was rising on the way I was spinning circles that’s what they told me Oh the things they’d say Something always happens when the sun starts disappearing When the weather turns colder All the bad starts reappearing When the days grow short We were on the back porch there was nothing special But something changed inside I knew then we wouldn’t make it Even when I tried Something always happens when the sun starts disappearing When the weather turns colder All the bad starts reappearing When the days grow short My mother’s mother I guess she was crazy They put her away I only saw her once when she was better For a moment oh the things she’d say Something always happens when the sun starts disappearing When the weather turns colder All the bad starts reappearing When the days grow short
10.
Oh I know there's trouble ahead No matter how you say you're wind up dead And they won't forget the things you should have never said Oh there's trouble ahead And then again, there's trouble behind It's just so hard be kind Along the way and not lose your mind Oh trouble behind If it weren't for you I'd be alone in this world If it weren't for you I'd be alone And yes they've got trouble below I've been to places I should never go There are things we should never know Oh there's trouble below But they've got trouble up high They've got songs up there that'll make you fly But tales that'll make you wanna cry Oh trouble up high If it weren't for you I'd be alone in this world If it weren't for you I'd be alone We've got trouble all around We're back and forth and up and down We're spinning sideways as the world goes round Oh trouble around But I've got you I'm not alone in this world I'm not alone in this world But I've got you I'm not alone in this world I'm not alone in this world
11.
Forgiveness please say I have it coming Don't tell me you'll be running Far away from here Tomorrow things will be more steady Tomorrow we'll be ready It's bound to be more clear I know that Peter walked on water You don't need to tell me Of how the story ends That he sunk into the sea Remember when we to the ocean There was such devotion When did it disappear Failure now it's our generation It's takes so much concentration To overcome this fear I know that Peter walked on water You don't need to tell me Of how the story ends That he sunk into the sea Forgiveness please say I have it coming Don't tell me you'll be running Tomorrow things will be more steady Tomorrow we'll be ready It's bound to be more clear I know that Peter walked on water You don't need to tell me Of how the story ends That he sunk into the sea
12.
Take me up that mountain, take me up that mountain, show me that there's a way, take me up that mountain Help me cross that river, help me cross that river, I can't make it on my own, help me cross that river Catch me when I'm falling, catch me when I'm falling, I can't make it on my own, catch me when I'm falling Let your love surround me, let your love surround me, take away all my hate, let your love surround me, let your love surround me

about

Series Notes:
"Homes Sessions Volume 3" is a song-of-the-month project as a follow up to Volumes 1 (2015) and 2 (2017). At least one new songs will be released each month.

For Volume 1, each song was a live recording into my computer mic (with no layering or editing), and involved anyone I happened to be around that year. This project involved Sister Sarah (February), the MRB (October), and even a Turkish band (May) I played with during some time spent in eastern Turkey during that year.

For Volume 2, I bought a new mic which helped to improve the quality, and tried out some layering as well. Things got a little crazy with some songs, (September) but it sure was fun.

Volume 3 is a combination of both, and the January song was a live recording that included the biggest crowd ever for my home sessions. It was after a house show when a big chunk of the crowd stuck around to sing the chorus of a song they all just learned. This recording was the best of two takes.

Mama Said It Well//January (w/a live audience)
Syria, West Virginia//February (w/Thaddeus Williams)
Until You Sleep//March (w/Andrew Hahn)
Goodnight Darling//April
Oh Regina//May
Way Too Long//June

Killing Souls//August
