Biography:
quoted fom: www.jonrandall.com
When he stopped running from his destiny, Jon Randall created a masterpiece.
"When I moved to Nashville, it was to be a songwriter - and I did everything BUT that," he recalls. "At first, I took jobs as a sideman because I had to eat. Nobody was going to give a song-publishing contract to an unknown. But then, over the years, traveling became a way of life."
Jon Randall's skills as a tenor harmony singer and guitarist have led to membership in the bands of Emmylou Harris, Sam Bush and Lyle Lovett.

[Intro]
C C C F F G G C
C C C F F G G C
[Verse]
C F G C
Woke up this morning to the humming of the engines
C F G C
Hauling nature's finest from the Gulf of Mexico
C F G C
Ridin' this ol' river is peaceful but it's lonesome
C F G C
It makes wonder how the old folks are at home
[Chorus]
C F G C
Now the years have blown by me like the wind through the pines
C F C G C
But the song of the south is ever sweet as homemade wine
C F G Am
Oh how I miss those mountains when the Laurels are in bloom
F C G C
N' the southern stars are dancin' 'round North Carolina moon
C F G C
Just road through Memphis I could hear them guitar's playing
C F G C
They had the blues so bad it almost broke my heart
C F G C
Don't sound nothing like a band of tree frogs singing
C F G C
Every now and then they'd get in tune with grandpa's harp
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
C G C
When I die boys make me this promise
C F G C
You'll send my body back up North Carolina way
C F G C
I don't want no tombstone just lay me next to mama
C F G C
And let the honeysuckle grow wild upon my grave
C C C F F G G C
C C C F F G G C
