like you can you remember (DON'T GO BACK TO) ROCKVILLE Looking at your watch a third time waiting in the station for a bus Going to a place that's far, so far away and if that's not enough Going where nobody says hello, they don't talk to anybody they don't know You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth and nowhere left to go Walk home to an empty house, sit around all by yourself I know it might sound strange, but I believe You'll be coming back before too long Don't go back to Rockville And waste another year At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend I don't care if you're not here with me 'Cause it's so much easier to handle All my problems if I'm too far out to sea But something better happen soon Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back It's not as though I really need you If you were here I'd only leave you But everybody else in town only wants to bring you down and That's not how it ought to be I know it might sound strange, but I believe You'll be coming back before too long LITTLE AMERICA I can't see myself at thirty I don't buy a lack of thirty Caught like flies wishing for tomorrow's jewlery forget it Lighted in the amber yard a green shell back

Reason had harnessed the tame Holding the sky in their arms Gravity pulls me down MAPS AND LEGENDS (The intro of the LP version of this song is very garbled and unclear, but the same part in the version from the McCabe's show is much clearer, thus that is what appears here) Is he to be reached, he's not to be reached Is he to be reached, he's not to be reached Call the fool in company On his own where he'd rather be Where he ought to be he sees what you can't see, can't you see that Maybe he's caught in the legend maybe he's caught in the mood Maybe these maps and legends Have been misunderstood Down the way the roads divided Name me the places you have seen Those who know what I don't know Have heard of the yellow red and green The map that she's made him doesn't seem real He just sees whatever he sees Point to the legend point to the east Point to the yellow red and green DRIVER 8 The walls are built up stone by stone The fields divided one by one And the train conductor says Take a break driver 8, driver 8 take a break We've been on this shift too long And the train conductor says Take a break driver 8, driver 8 take a break We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away Saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm Power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged Bells are ringing through the town again Children look up all they hear is sky-blue bells ringing Way to seal the hated heat Way to put myself to sleep Way to seal the hated heat Way to put myself my children to sleep Pilot did this song in a plane like that one She is selling faith on a hotel crusade Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent hear the bells ring again This field of wheat is looking thin And the train conductor says Take a break driver 8, driver 8 take a break We've been on this shift too long LIFE AND HOW TO LIVE IT Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way To yours to go between the wall was razed today To yours the names before your others and your own Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home My carpenter's out and running about talking to the street My pockets are out and running about Walking in the street to tell what I have hidden there Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way To yours to go between the wall was razed today Raze the walls the childish flaws the carpenters should wrestle So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best The hills ringing hear the words in time Listen to the holler listen to my walls within my tongue When my ears go tin the air quicken tension build ________ inference suddenly Life and how to live it Raze the walls the childish flaws the carpenters should wrestle So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best Read about the wisdom lost a knock a knock a knock A secret knock one hammer's locked the other wisdom lost Listen listen to the holler I will write a book it will be called Life and How to Live It OLD MAN KENSEY Old Man Kensey wants to be a sign painter First he's got to learn to read He's gonna be a clown on TV Flexes his elbow taunt and free That's my folly, I believe Drink up the lake Kensey's awake That's my folly, that's my mistake Old Man Kensey wants to be a goalie First he's got to learn to count He's gonna be a clown on a circus mount Letters to be signed and dropped off Kensey's going far __________________, stand on your head That's my folly, I'm ready to go Old Man Kensey wants to be a dog catcher First he's got to learn to stand He's gonna be a clown in a marching band Letters to be signed ransom greed That's my folly, I believe Drink up the lake _______________ That's my folly, that's my mistake Kensey's awake, stand on your head That's my folly, I'm ready to go CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE (supposedly published in Guitar Magazine in 1985, but a few lines were reprinted in Goldmine in 1987. Some lyrics from the video as well) When the world is a monster Bad to swallow you whole Kick the clay that holds those teeth in Throw your troubles out the door If you're needing inspiration Philomath is where I go Lawyer Jeff he knows the lowdown He's mighty glad to visit home I've been there I know the way Can't get there from here When your hands are feeling empty Stick heads jumpin off the ground, 'round Tris is sure to shirr the deers out Run away sing my song Hands down Calechee bound Landlocked kiss the ground Dirt of seven continents going round and round Go on ahead Mr. Citywide hypnotized, suit and tied Gentlemen, testify If your world is a monster Bad to swallow you whole Philomath they know the lowdown Throw your troubles out the door GREEN GROW THE RUSHES The

stand alone She came with us she would have known Courage built a bridge, jealous tore it down At least it's something you've left behind Like Kahoetek you were gone We sat in the garden we stood on the porch I won't deny myself we never talked She wore bangles she wore bells On her toes and she don't Lack of finer things you were gone Like Kahoetek completely dead We will build a bridge she's

stranger look at his shoes Keep your money in your shoes put your trouble behind When you greet a stranger look at her hands Keep your money in your hands put your travel behind Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say Keep your hat on your head home is a long way away At the end of the day, I'll forget your name I'd like it here if I could leave and see you from a long way away When you greet a stranger, look at his shoes Keep you memories in your shoes, put your travel behind Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say Keep your hat on your head Home is a long

it here if I could leave and see you from a long way away Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say Keep your hat on your head Home is a long way away WENDELL GEE That's when Wendell Gee takes a tug Upon the string that held the line of trees Behind the house he lived in He was reared to give respect But somewhere down the line he chose To whistle as the wind blows Whistle as the wind blows through the leaves He had a dream one night That the tree had lost its middle So he built a trunk of chicken wire To try to hold it up but the wire the wire turned to lizard skin And when he climbed inside There wasn't even time to say Goodbye to Wendell Gee So whistle as the wind blows Whistle as the wind blows through the leaves If the wind were colors And if the air could speak Then whistle as the wind blows Whistle as the wind blows ************** Lifes Rich Pageant ************** BEGIN THE BEGIN A birdy and a hand for life's rich demand The insurgency began and you missed it I

Charles Surad introduces his own composition "On Calvary Forming the Joy of Knowing Jesus" Is a song of pure delight featuring John Barber. The pure tenor quality of the voice of Harold Montgomery gives a special interpretation to the grand Old hymn "The Old Rugged Cross". Chill bumps appear and I am frozen in the web they weave As they reveal their innermost selves With the outpouring of their hearts. On and on the songs roll on and soon you are caught up In the sermon, each rendition. As you come to feel The devotion and dedication that is poured forth, Suddenly you know they're real, they mean it. "Let Your Light Shine" could not be more aptly dubbed. Mike Hazzard shines a light from heaven on your heart Through their singing. As an artist, Rhonda Montgomery Exemplifies piano artistry. That's Rhonda, an artist. This album can be the instrument to mend a broken heart Or to straighten out your life, through the sincere testimony in The songs of the Revelaires. A must.
