Biography:
It might not be there quite yet, but Asheville, NC is starting to look a lot like the new Nashville, at least when it comes to bluegrass music’s roots and branches. Leading the way is the Songs From The Road Band, an aggregation of some of the area’s hottest songwriters, singers and pickers named for the project that first brought them together—a 2006 solo release by Steep Canyon Rangers bass player and songwriter Charles Humphrey III that came out just weeks before the Rangers were handed the IBMA’s Emerging Artist of the Year trophy.

[Verse]
A Bm7 G
We left Chatham County in a second-hand van with a color TV.
A Bm7 G
Captains chairs and a rack for our clothes.
A Bm7 G
It was what it was, it burned a little oil and it ran real hot.
A Bm G
It got us where we wanted to go.
A Bm7 G
Headed out west with a fold out map and fishing poles.
A Bm G
A jug of Carlo Rossi in the stove.
A Bm7 G
Had no plans, just a bluegrass band with a couple of gigs.
A Bm A G
A few guitars with pockets full of holes.
[Chorus]
G D
We put our dreams on the road,
A Bm A
didn't know we'd go so lo......ng,
G D
string up a box, turn it to a song,
A Bm G
get up high let everybody know it's a traveling show.

We fished in the Russian and the San Juan and the Frying Pan.
A Bm7 G
Living out on the rivers and the roads.

We headed north as fast a we could go.

It was like a dream out on the road,

And how far we've still got to go.

It's always good to get back home.

I can't stay away too lo.....ng.
