Hi, I am just listening to the new album (again and again) and realised that I still have problems in understanding some of the lyrics by ear. You know, it's sometimes a little difficult for us non-English-speaking foreigners.... So here is my question: Does anybody know where I can find the lyrics for "Lonely Runs Both Ways"? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lolett

I haven't actually found any lyrics, but Natalie, Lindsey and I, stayed up one night and went through all the songs and depicted the lyrics as much as we could... Was there any song in perticular that you wanted or did you want them all?

I use several sites to get song lyrics for music videos I put together for people. Here's one that has all of the songs from "Lonely Runs Both Ways" beginning with "Gravity". Just scroll down to the bottom and click the song you want... www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/krauss-alison/gravity-14676.htmlDoug

LRBW (To my ears at least.) I hope this helps you!
Part 1
1 - Gravity:
I left home when I was seventeen I just grew tired of falling down And I’m sure I was told The allure of the road would be all I found
And all the answers that I started with Turned out questions in the end As the years roll on by And just like the sky the road never ends
And the people who love me still ask me When are you coming back to town And I answer, quite frankly, when they stop building roads And all God needs is gravity to hold me down
And the people who love me still ask me When are you coming back to town And I answer, quite frankly, when they stop building roads And there aint no more highways to be found
And I answer, quite frankly, when they stop building roads And all God needs is gravity to hold me down
2 – Restless:
Honey I know, you’ve been alone some Why don’t you phone some Because I love you
And honey I know, I’ve been away some, I’ve had to pay some and you have too
But one thing I know that when I I turn out the light visions of you dear, dance in the night
I been poured down pushed around apprehended and led downtown and I can’t help it if I’m out of sight cause I’m restless tonight
I just can’t stand being alone I’m going to have to change that someday There’s a restless feeling in my bones and I know that at times it just won’t go away
So if it’s all the same honey I can’t the blame baby I can’t play the game honey, what’s true is true
And if in the end the temptation wears you thin honey I’ll I’ll just pretend that I leave it up to you
One thing I know that when I I turn out the light visions of you dear, dance in the night
I been put down pushed around Apprehended and led downtown And I can’t help it if I’m full of fire
But the, the one thing I know that when I I turn out the light visions of you dear, dance in the night
I been poured down pushed around Apprehended and led downtown And I can’t help it if I’m out of sight cause I’m restless tonight
3 – Rain Please Go Away
Rain please go away Leave me alone, come another day My love is gone, this time to stay Rain, please go away
It's tough to live the whole day through Thinking of her is all I do She's happy now, and I'm so blue Rain, she's cold like you
If only the time wouldn't drag so slow Find a new love and let it grow I'm kidding myself, it don't happen that way Rain, please go away
Rain please go away Leave me alone, come another day My love is gone, this time to stay Rain, please go away
4 – Goodbye Is All We Have:
I'm soaring the sky I can hear the birds And man they don't lie How you going catch me I'm this high
I'm moving on I got the words to a brand new song How you going catch me I'm this gone
Gone tomorrow here today Just in case you got something' to say I'll be leaving with the rest if goodbye Is all we have
I disconnected the phone Told the neighbors I'll be heading home As soon as the light hits the morn
I'm heading north Going see what this heart's really worth I guess it's time to be on my own
Gone tomorrow here today Just in case you got something to say I'll be leaving with the rest if goodbye Is all we have
I sure would love to see you tonight Maybe try to end this fight If I don't hear you knocking on my door Then I'll know for sure
Gone tomorrow here today Just in case you got something to say I'll be leaving with the rest if goodbye Is all
Gone tomorrow here today I'll be leaving with the rest if goodbye Is all we have
5 – Unionhouse Branch
(Instrumental)
6 – Wouldn't Be So Bad:
Take me back to aluna street Fill my glass again With a bittersweet Cause I don't want to see The life I have Thought the next time around Wouldn't be so bad
Same mistake that I made before I'll be waking up On the killing floor While the bells are ringing So low and sad Thought the next time around Wouldn't be so bad
Same mistake that I made before I'll be waking up On the killing floor I remember how I made you mad Thought the next time around Wouldn't be so bad
I thought the next time around Wouldn't be so bad
I thought the next time around Wouldn't be so bad
7 – Pastures of Plenty:
Well it's always we ramble This river and I All along your green valleys I work till I die My land I'll defend With my life need it be Cause my pastures of plenty Must always be free
Green pastures of plenty From dry desert ground From the Grand Coolie Dam Where the waters run down Every state in this union Us migrants have been Lord we come with the dust And we go with the wind
California Arizona I harvest your crops Then it's on up North to Oregon To gather your hogs Take the beet from your ground Cut the grapes from your vine Just to place on your table That light sparkling wine
Well it’s always we ramble This river and I My land I'll defend With my life need it be Cause my pastures of plenty Must always be free
8 – Crazy as Me:
I'm used to being alone Except for six month flings without a rings And phone bills that I've waited for This is the life that I chose I got no complaints if he is, if he aint And if he is I guess he'll send me a rose
Just don't ask me for the truth if you choose to lie honey Don't try to open my door with your skeleton key Some folks seem to think I only got one problem I can't find nobody as crazy as me
I still love what I know I love to ride along and sing a song and listen to the radio You can ride alone And if you change your mind Well that's just fine but there is something that you got to know
Just don't ask me for the truth if you choose to lie honey Don't try to open my door with your skeleton key Some folks seem to think I only got one problem I can't find nobody as crazy as me
Just don't ask me for the truth if you choose to lie honey Don't try to open my door with your skeleton key Some folks seem to think I only got one problem I can't find nobody as crazy as me

LRBW (To my ears at least.) I hope this helps you!
Part 2
9 – Borderline:
So you're on your own Looking down the road That goes only by one name And you don't need the signs To see lonely still runs both ways So who's the fool that would think the ties would be better off undone Did you heart heed the warning When you veered from the path That was narrower and straight
On the borderline Somewhere between that plight for freedom Feeling like you can't move on The toll will be the time Takes you off of my mind And out of my heart I know And when you cross over There's no turning back Once that burning bridge is gone
I may lose But I'm in it for the long run Loving you For good reason could be the wrong one I don't want to lose control But the heart won't learn To let it dwell and not forlorn
On a borderline Somewhere between that plight for freedom Feeling like you can't move on The toll will be the time Takes you off of my mind And out of my heart I know And when you cross over There's no turning back Once that burning bridge is gone
So you're on your own Looking down the road That goes only by one name
10 – My Poor Old Heart:
Don't expect too much from my poor old heart You can blame me unforgivin for my scars You might just be the best that I can find But I can't seem to forget the tears I've cried
I don't know that I will ever trust again It's a price I must pay for all my sins Time has changed me and left me full of doubt And my heart may be lost never to be found
Once upon a time I did believe In my true love that swept me off my feet Then the wind of change swept him away And left me drowning in my pain
I don't know that I will ever love again It's a price that I must pay for all my sins Time has changed me and left me full of doubt And my heart may be lost never to be found
I don't know that I will ever love again It's a price that I must pay for all my sins Time has changed me and left me full of doubt
I don't know that I will ever trust again It's a price that I must pay for all my sins Time has changed me and left me full of doubt And my heart may be lost never to be found
11 – This Sad Song:
Well, the rain is a pouring down in a fury And the road is looking long And the only thing that comes to mind Is the tune of this sad song Tune of this sad song Oh Lord
Well, the wind is a creeping up my back Through the door, through the roof, through the window crack Tossing and a turning all night long To the rhythm and the sound of a saddened song Saddened song Oh Lord
In a dream of passion I saw a face Of a beautiful woman in a terrible place She looked at me, and she called for you Then she closed her eyes and she sang this tune Sang this tune Oh Lord
12 – Doesn’t Have To Be This Way:
Sometimes I wonder where your coming from When you roll in like thunder just to turn around and run It’s a good thing I don’t need you to stay
You smell like moonlight and early morning rain Pray tell of whom the night surrendered to your pain Or find a cure for you to care
Your at your best with an ache in your chest and that worn out old song that you play Only Jesus and you long to teach us should no one be left to betray
I don’t know the answer but I know who to blame You can choose the dancer or you can choose the flame I think you’ll find they’re one in the same It doesn’t have to be this way
Your at your best with an ache in your chest and that worn out old song that you play Only Jesus and you long to teach us should no one be left to betray
I don’t know the answer but I know who to blame. Pray tell of whom the night surrendered to your pain It’s a good thing I don’t need you to stay It doesn’t have to be this way
Sometimes I wonder where your coming from When you roll in like thunder just to turn around and run It’s a good thing I don’t need you to stay It doesn’t have to be this way
13 – I Don't Have to Live This Way:
I been up and down before Sleep won't hold me any more You're running out of games to play I don't have to live this way
Thought I loved you for awhile You were loaded up on style Talk is cheap but I won't play I don't have to live this way
No I won't play for games that you devised And I won't wait to listen to your lies Before you speak another word I'll repeat it so I'm heard Running out of games to play I don't have to live this way
You won't stay another night Or if your wrong another right Now I've got the eyes to see You get your kicks by hurting me
No I won't play for games that you devised And I won't wait to listen to your lies Before you speak another word I'll repeat it so I'm heard Running out of games to play I don't have to live this way
14 – If I Didn't Know Any Better:
I turned around Before I could run I found you already settled down In the back of my mind I know this is just a customary fever The moon is our deceiver that will leave you running blind
You're heart is pulling If I didn't know any better I'd be falling deeper and deeper it's true I hear it calling If I didn't know any better And I'd be in love with you
Didn't want to Look in the eyes of the one that I would be drawn too I'm a moth lost in a fire And I know this Is just a beautiful illusion A case of the confusion Between love and desire
You're heart is pulling If I didn't know any better I'd be falling Deeper and deeper its true I hear it calling If I didn't know any better And I'd be in love When the flame burns out If finally settles down And you forget I ever came around
You're heart is pulling If I didn't know any better I be falling Deeper and deeper its true I hear it calling If I didn't know any better And I be in love with you
I turned around Before I could run I found you already settled down In the back of my mind
15 – A Living Prayer:
In this world I walk alone With no place To call my home But there’s one Who holds my hand The rugged road Through barren lands The way is dark The road is steep But He's become My eyes to see The strength to climb My grief’s to bear The Savior lives Inside me there
In You're love I find release A haven from My unbelief Take my life and let me be A living prayer My God to Thee
In these trials Of life I find Another voice Inside my mind He comforts me And bids me live Inside the love The father gives
In You're love I find release A haven from My unbelief Take my life and let me be A living prayer My God to Thee
Take my life and let me be A living prayer My God to Thee

Hey Candi, Doug, Tom, I am a little late to say THANK YOU, but my PC had past away and I didn't get it back until today. I really appreciate your kind help. Thanks a bunch! You are my three favorite Americans today! Just listening to the songs, reading the lyrics and understanding the words and phrases indeed. Lolett

Hi Everyone, At the risk of sounding like an anal retentive psycho, I would just like to give the beginning lyrics of "Crazy As Me". I have the original Robert Lee Castleman recording & some parts of the song are different, but most of it is the same. I'm used to being alone Except for six month flings With diamond rings And phone bills that outweigh the phone Like I said the rest of it has some different lyrics than the AKUS version but the beginning is the same. You can get the original version on iTunes I think. Give it a listen, its very good. Thank you all for coming! ;D Dave I must be crazy!

It was my pleasure Le. I am glad it helped.
Also, thanks for the correction catdog. That's how I heard them but I was not sure on a few of the verses. I did an internet search looking for those lyrics some time back and found nothing. I was really interested in finding those. When I saw Le's request, I said, "screw it, I'll figure it out for myself." So I did. I am sure there are other errors as well but it was fun to do.
Now understand that this is coming from a person who, growing up, I thought a line in Jimi Hendeix's "Purple Haze" went, "Excuse me, while I kiss this guy" as opposed to "Excuse me while kiss the sky." What can I say. (But I did smoke a LOT of weed back them.) LOL

Hey Tom,
That's nothin'. When I was a kid I thought the line in the Creedence Clearwater song Bad Moon Rising was "There's a bathroom on the right" instead of "There's a bad moon on the rise" As you can see I was a brilliant youngster.

Wow Dave!!! Thats funny. Bathroom on the right. Tom, I have just a few corrections for you that I noticed. Gravity - I think its "lure of the road" not "allure" Restless - I'm pretty sure in each chorus, she says, "I been put down, Pushed around, etc." Borderline - I think it might be "Line" of freedom, but it might be "plight" I think its line because she is talking about a Borderline, ya know?? Doesn't Have To Be This Way - I think its "Pray 'til a fool might surrender to your pain" instead of "Prey tell of whom" Other than that. It looks great. Thanks for taking the time to type them out.

This reminds me that I know the fourth line in the third verse of "Pastures of Plenty" should be "To gather your hops". I specifically watched Dan as he sang in and it was obvious that he said hops not hogs. In addition, it makes sense. Oregon is one of the largest hops producers in the US and not really known for raising hogs. Migrant workers generally harvest crops rather than take care of animals.

Hops are used in the brewing of beer. They give the beer the flavor it has, I believe.

You're right Doug. Hops are actually a grain and they do give beer it's flavor, et al.
