ssumner001 Real Americana. You can listen to this in your '32 Ford or '70 Chevelle. It plays well in an 89 Mustang or an 02 Cadillac. It doesn't matter if you're at home or at the bar. This music from Roger Hoover will make you envision yourself wherever your mind is, and bring back memories of a simpler time. Favorite track: Girl's Got a Hold on Me.

Rain comes down like railroad spikes on just you and I I can hear train whistles blowing and children crying my life is spent trying to get back home to see the mirror of your eyes hope that you will be there when I die way I've been sleeping my back and shoulder's tired I can hear you crying through the moonlight and the pine find myself rambling through the land of the blind hope that you will be there when I die tonight I cross the border with persimmon and wine i can hear you crying through the moonlight and the pine miss you just the same in eastern standard time hope that you will be there when I die

she gives me looks that recall me holds up my trembling like a newborn child my heart and mind are fraying like two catfish in the clay I've given more to love than I have taken away lay my rituals down suffered in the hollow ground lay my rituals my fears are growing dimmer with each passing of the moon I thought I lost my shadow down in Lousville, KY but now I realize what is hidden in the darkness always comes to the light lay my rituals down suffered in the hollow ground lay my rituals

We've shared enough and danced enough Old Lover's Songs to know that when the love is gone Old lover's can't be friends I've sung enough and writ enough Old Lover's Songs enough Old Lover's Songs to know that when the love is gone Old lover's can't be friends We look through the trees we look through the light and we only find leaves and birds taken to flight the cold chiller of winter takes a stand left with your heart in your hands We look through the trees we look through the light and we only find leaves and birds taken to flight the cold chiller of winter takes a stand left with your heart in your hands

There was so much I wanted to tell you wanted to tell you before I left One more trip out through the Atlantic and I'll be home with enough money to buy you that wedding dress. I'm still wearing my bloodied, lucky baseball cap from that ballgame we went to in Boston, Mass and that pictures you sent though they were only meant for me I couldn't help letting the other guys sneak a peak and I know... You'll be watching from a lighthouse safe from rain I'll be riding a full force gale into Maine now these sails are bending I can't tell dusk from dawn I'm not sure if I'll ever make it home There was so much I wanted to do besides fishing and fighting but, fishing and fighting were all that I knew I feel the rain on my fingers Not much left here to do except count the rolling waves and I know... You'll be watching from a lighthouse safe from rain I'll be riding a full force gale into Maine now these sails are bending I can't tell dusk from dawn I'm not sure if I'll ever make it home
