about

This song is dedicated to the memory of my dad, Warren Leroy Oliver.

lyrics

The Journey


I took a trip down by horseback
To a place called sentimental valley
Full of rocky roads and sneak attacks
Like being caught alone at night in a dark ally

So I tried to climb up by myself
That mountain called Black as the Night
Hard and cold and merciless, I need some help
I'm not quite ready to give up the fight

So I went back across this wide expanse
Had to take a wagon train and the family too
Over the Rockies across the Mississippi we took a chance
There comes a time, a place and a thing you've got to do

When the time comes take me to the Great Lake
Let me fly one more time, over the magic water
One more star filled night I'd like to take
Yeah, take me to the land of my father
