Hal Ketchum Some Place Far Away Lyrics

Some Place Far Away Lyrics

Daddy brought home a photograph from the paper yesterday
It showed a line of
wagons movin some place far away
That picture made my daddy smile, it made
my momma cry
It seems that Daddy's wagonload of dreams had long since passed
her by

(Chorus)
And the dream that makes the sparrow fly can make an
eagle fall
And one that makes the rich man money, it ain't no dream at
all
It's a cryin shame to wake up just to find it's all been broke in
two
Be careful what you're dreamin cause it someday may come true

He
talked on all through suppertime bout the good prospector's life
Couldn't
see Momma didn't wanna be no good prospector's wife
He said, "We best
sell out and go before the weather turns too cold
Maybe buy ourselves an
extra horse to carry all the gold"

(Repeat Chorus)

I got up
as soon as the first light came to start the mornin fire
Wonderin if my
momma's will had cooled that man's desire
And inside the stove upon the
coals an ashen paper lay
It showed a ghostly line of wagons movin some place
far away

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh be careful what you're dreamin cause
it someday may come true
Yeah be careful what you're dreamin cause it
someday may come true
