Hal Ketchum - Some Place Far Away Lyrics
Daddy brought home a photograph from the paper yesterdayIt showed a line of wagons movin some place far awayThat picture made my daddy smile, it made my momma cryIt 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 fallAnd one that makes the rich man money, it ain't no dream at allIt's a cryin shame to wake up just to find it's all been broke in twoBe careful what you're dreamin cause it someday may come trueHe talked on all through suppertime bout the good prospector's lifeCouldn't see Momma didn't wanna be no good prospector's wifeHe said, "We best sell out and go before the weather turns too coldMaybe 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 fireWonderin if my momma's will had cooled that man's desireAnd inside the stove upon the coals an ashen paper layIt 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 trueYeah be careful what you're dreamin cause it someday may come true
