Old Crow Medicine Show - Look Away Lyrics
I'm goin' where the water rolls, Moses knows the way
To my tin roof shanty by the railroad sign where the whistle blows for days
Where the mountains bare the face, of an injun brave
And the green fields fade such a beautiful gray
Look away, look away
Hear the homeward call of the mockingbird
Gone to town just like a banjo ringin' from a dime store curb
See the sign on the cross, sayin' "Brother ain't you heard?"
That this is the land where salvation ain't a dirty word
Cold bottled milk and honey mean more than a pocket full of money
Oh Mama can you feel me drawin' near?
Been lovin' you down through the years
Even on the darkest days
Look away, look away
I'm goin' where the cotton grows in rows of snowy bales
Where a man and a mule don't look much different to the boss man's scale
Where the long leaf pine hide a secret place
That everybody knows what it looks like but can't nobody see
Cold bottled milk and honey mean more than a pocket full of money
Oh Mama can you feel me drawin' near?
Keep lovin' you down through the years
Even on the darkest days
I look away, I look away
To that circle around the sun still spinnin' and shinin' over the Lee Highway
I look away, I look away, Dixieland
I'm goin' where the water rolls, Moses knows the way
To my old homestead where the lights I trimmed and burnin' 'til day
Where the singin' river flows, and it knows every name
Of a thousand years of footsteps chasin' its wide domain
Cold bottled milk and honey mean more than a pocket full of money
Oh Mama can you feel me drawin' near?
Keep lovin' you down through the years
Even on the darkest days
I look away, look away
To that circle around the sun still spinnin' and shinin' over the Lee Highway
Oh I look away, look away

An absolute favorite for sure.
I love this band. This is one of my favorite songs in their catalog and it is just a beautiful, well orchestrated, immaculately written song with perfect lyrics. I often find myself wondering how many other OCMS fans are like me and this is their favorite band out there. Hands down. No contest.
My new favorite song
Love everything about this song, and every time I visit the region of topic in this song, I fall for it just a little bit more. Beautiful land, and wonderful, wonderful people.
Perfect, one of my favorites.
shame willie Watson is out of the picture. at least they got some guy singing the high harmony
I think it might be Critter doing the high harmonies
very relaxed way of writing songs
This should be in far cry 5
