Go on - I’ll tell you again I’ve lost my way - now and then From all night drives - through the pouring rain Across west Kansas - and back again The good and the bad - my eyes have seen When I heard you say - its time to leave I knew I - wouldn’t change a thing With all I know - and all I’ve seen Cause I’ve seen a thing or two I’ve seen the Rio Grande I drank whiskey with old Richard Sang Townes Van Zandt And I’ve been everywhere a traveling man can I’ve seen at thing or two I’ve seen the Rio Grande Three A.M. - is a dreadful place All alone - on an interstate Miles from home - and everything All you know - is changing I’ve been everywhere a man can be From east Colorado to Tennessee Played for a thousand - and I’ve played for free I’d do it again - any day Cause I’ve seen a thing or two I’ve seen the Rio Grande I drank whiskey with old Richard Sang Townes Van Zandt And I’ve been everywhere a traveling man can I’ve seen at thing or two I’ve seen the Rio Grande Go on - I’ll tell you again I’ve lost my way - now and then

I moved in from the country To find work and a wife With those hard days now behind me They said the time to sell was right These sixty acres of good land All the blood, sweat and tears We built this whole farm with our bare hands And lord, we had good years But sometimes you gotta sell all you have Just to get by - pay your bills - be a man Oh sometimes you gotta sell all you have Just to get by - pay your bills be a man I had a mother and father but they died ten years ago And my brother - couldn’t take it Where he went I still don’t know Now I’m leaving this old land Everything and all I know I’ve got a hard time believing We all reap what we sow But sometimes you gotta sell all you have Just to get by - pay your bills - be a man Oh sometimes you gotta sell all you have Just to get by - pay your bills be a man

Town to town - road to road - door to door - coast to coast I’ve been everywhere a man can be From St. John’s in Newfoundland - to Prince Edwards copper sand And Nova Scotia in the spring Alberta and Saskatchewan - were two of my favourite one’s It was way out there I cut my teeth And all around Ontario - where I learnt - all I know I lived in New Brunswick by the sea I lived up in the Parkland - where I finally took a stand I was living reckless, right and free Winter finally came and went - I packed the car and headed west Next day I woke up in BC Next thing I was headed East, that St. Lawrence calling me I was sleeping neath the prairie stars I was dreaming of the wind and all the places that I’ve been I was wishing it would blow you back to me The only place I haven’t been is the great white northland But I know someday there I’ll be Town to town - road to road - door to door - coast to coast I’ve been everywhere a man can be I’ve been everywhere a man can be

I’m going to run like a river I’m going to howl like the wind on the plains You’ll hear my knocking Rattling your window panes I’ve been everywhere and I’ve gone away and come back again If you were me - I know that you'd do the same Gone away - come back again Can’t say why - won’t say when Gone away - come back again Can’t say why - won’t say when Every day is different Every highway calls my name Lost and lonely Driving through the pouring rain I’ve been everywhere A man could wish to be A thousand faces Seen all I can see Gone away - come back again Can’t say why - won’t say when Gone away - come back again Can’t say why - won’t say when

Long day - longer night Chasing these highway lines Suns gone down and the lights are up I hope that I’ll make it on time From the coast out through the Rockies Alberta she’s looking fine The suns coming up across the prairies I hope that I’ll make it on time I hope that I’ll make it on time East to West and West to East I’ve crossed every border line Every town and every city Find another every night From the plains out through the great lakes Each and every mile The Seventeen don’t get no shorter But I think that I’m making good time Foggy days my foggy mind Its all just fading to night Slept an hour in Marathon Just called to say I’m alright I can see the east a’coming Ten more miles to the line Don’t know where I’ve been or I’m going But I hope that I’ll make it on time Ten more miles and thirty days Been running all my life Don’t know where I’ve been or I’m going But I hope that I’ll make it on time I hope that I’ll make it on time

I found myself in Colorado - in Pueblo where the wind does blow Walking around with my brother - with nowhere else to go We went out a’roaming - to see what we could see All I found was a woman lonesome as could be Lonesome as could be We went to that old bar room - and drank that cold liquor down Waylon, George and Willy - were singing that high and lonesome sound When a man walked in a’talkin’ and waving his pistol around Saying don’t you tread on me brothers - I was lost but now I am found Was lost but now I’m found The guns they were blazing - so I pitched out to the floor Thats when I saw my love a’running - till that bullet it dropped her to the floor I stood shaking and swearing - I looked that man in the eye and said You have killed my one true love - now sir its your time to die Sir its your time to die I grabbed a broken bottle - and turned to find that man Was standing there before me - shaking with that pistol in his hand I knew my time was coming - so I thought of my dear old friends And my home out on the lonesome prairie - how I’d meet my end Till I felt his warm blood running - down upon my hand That Pueblo man was a stumbling - he was shot by another man Was shot by another man

I’m thinking of all the time thats past - all my eyes have seen That day we almost died - stuck on the seventeen Or that all night drive from Moncton to Sydney I’m thinking of all the time thats past - all my eyes have seen That day we rolled into Jasper - was like nowhere I’d ever been Those Rocky mountains standing - so tall in front of me And down at the legion we played for two or three That day we rolled into Jasper - was like nowhere I’d ever been All is gone - Everything I did know Those late night drives - all those bar room shows How the time has passed - its come time to go All has come and gone - All I know The day I hit the coast - I was flying high and free I sang every note - like it meant everything Bob sang that sad song about Pancho and Lefty The day I hit the coast - I was flying high and free All is gone - Everything I did know Those late night drives - all those bar room shows How the time has passed - And its come time to go All has come and gone - And whats left to show All has come and gone - All I know

I left Oregon this morning - with a broken hearted tune And that pretty faced woman - she taught me a thing or two About quiet and easy living - and how to heal the pain But I left that pretty woman - standin’ in the rain I wish she was sitting shotgun - smoking cigarettes And talking about America - all her hopes and her regrets We’d sing a Willy P song then we’d sing some Townes Oh theres nothing more peaceful then that high and lonesome sound Headed east through Wyoming - driving through the night With a big ol’ moon a’shining - lighting up the sky I wish I was in Bend - sitting by your side But out here on the road so lonesome I could cry And it’s good luck in Denver - so my Brother said Don’t you worry about them Cowboys - I’m sure you’ll knock em dead Just sing them a sad tune - I’m sure they’ll come along I’ll see you in Kansas City - drive safe and don’t be long I left Oregon this morning - with a broken hearted tune And that pretty faced woman - she taught me a thing or two About quiet and easy living - and how to heal the pain But I left that pretty woman - standin’ in the rain

In wild rose county - those mountains stand so tall I’ve been gone so long - got nowhere left to go Its been three long months - maybe more that I’ve been gone Stuck in wild rose county with no way to get home Its straight as the crow flies or three days on the road Out here so far from home You said don’t you worry - I know why your gone Straight as the crow flies or three days... Back in wild rose county - the working days are all so long We work until the sun sets and wake up with the next dawn I’m just trying to get by with this old guitar and songs Stuck in wild rose county with no way to get home Its straight as the crow flies or three days on the road Out here so far from home You said don’t you worry - I know why your gone Straight as the crow flies or three days... In wild rose county - I heard your voice on the phone You were saying you missed me - and you’re tired of being alone Oh it ain’t that easy - living out here on my own Stuck in wild rose county with no way to get home Stuck in wild rose county with no way to get home

Hailed as a master storyteller by No Depression, Zachary is becoming a legend in his own right and has safely reserved his spot at the table of Canadian roots royalty. ... more
