Biography:
Hal Michael Ketchum (born in Greenwich, New York on 9 April 1953; died 23 November 2020) was an American country musician, songwriter, and performer.
Though Ketchum first began recording in the mid-1980s, not until his 1991 record deal with Curb Records did he have a major hit with the album Past The Point Of Rescue. The title cut to the album was a Top 3 single, and other singles that met similar success included "Small Town Saturday Night" and "Sure Love".

Someplace Far Away
by: Hal Ketchum
[Verse]
D
Daddy brought home a photograph
G D
from the paper yesterday.
D
It showed a line of wagons
G A
Movin' someplace far away.
G
That picture made my Daddy smile
D A Bm
And it made my Momma cry.
G
Seems like Daddy's wagonload of dreams
A
have long since passed him by.
[Chorus]
G
And the dreams that make a sparrow fly
D
can make an eagle fall.
G
One that makes a rich man money
D A
Ain't no dream at all.
G
It's a crying shame to wake up
D A Bm
Just to find its all been broke in two.
G D
Careful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come true.
2. Well, he talked on all through suppertime
'bout a good prospector's life.
Couldn't see Momma didn't want to be
No good prospector's wife.
He said we best sail out and go
before the weather turns to cold.
Maybe buy ourselves an extry horse
to carry all that gold.
[Chorus]
G
And the dreams that make a sparrow fly
D
can make an eagle fall.
G
One that makes a rich man money
D A
Ain't no dream at all.
G
It's a crying shame to wake up
D A Bm
Just to find its all been broke in two.
G D
Careful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come true.
3. Well, I got up as soon as the first light came
to start the mornin' fire.
Wonderin' if my Momma's will
Cooled that man's desire.
And inside the stove upon the coals
And ash and paper lay.
Was a ghostly line of wagons
movin' someplace far away.
[Chorus]
G
And the dreams that make a sparrow fly
D
can make an eagle fall.
G
One that makes a rich man money
D A
Ain't no dream at all.
G
It's a crying shame to wake up
D A Bm
Just to find its all been broke in two.
G D
Careful what your dreamin' cause it someday may come true.
There! I think that should erase the brain fart.
Later.
