Modern Day Drifter
So this, being part two of god knows how many Hillbilly Jones fanmixes I shall make, (the world has too many songs, okay), is a little different. This is pretty much a set list for the version of Eddie Jones in that huge modern-day au thing I've been blabbing about for months. It's also a set list for what a modern day Eddie Jones might have played. There's a lot of the big name country music stars on here, and some Bob Dylan, but I hope you all enjoy it. 74.4 mb zip file, wma and mp3 format. Let me know if you want any of the tracks on their own.
1. Senor (Tales of Yankee Power) by Dierks Bentley with Punch Brothers
Well, the last thing I remember before I stripped and kneeled
Was that trainload of fools bogged down in a magnetic field
A gypsy with a broken flag and a flashing ring
He said, Son, this ain't a dream no more it's the real thing.
2. The Times They Are A-Changin’ by Bob Dylan
Come senators, congressman
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he who gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
3. Down on the Corner by Creedence Clearwater Revival
You don't need a penny just to hang around,
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner there's a happy noise.
People come from all around to watch the magic boy.
4. Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Won't you do this for me son
If you can
5. The Ghost of Tom Joad by Bruce Springsteen
And The highway is alive tonight
And where it's headed, everybody knows
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Waitin on the Ghost of Tom Joad
6. Callin’ Baton Rouge by Garth Brooks
A replay of last night's events
Roll through my mind
Except a scene or two
Erased by sweet red wine
And I see a truck stop sign ahead
So I change lanes
I need a cup of coffee
And a couple dollars change
Callin' Baton Rouge
7. You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive by Brad Paisley
Well my granddad's dad walked down Katahrins Mountain
And he asked Tillie Hilton to be his bride
He Said won't you walk with me out of the mouth of this holler
Or we'll never leave Harlan alive
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking
And you spend your life just thinkin' of how to get away
8. Long Trip Alone by Dierks Bentley
Note: This track is listed as “long road alone” because I thought that was the name until posting this entry. Big old whoops on my part.
It's a long trip alone over sand and stone
That lie along the road that we all must travel down
So maybe you could walk with me a while
And maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Everybody stumbles sometimes and needs a hand to hold
'Cause it's a long trip alone
9. The Road by Frank Tuner
I've felt old before my time but now I keep the age away
By burning up the miles and yeah by filling up my days
And the nights a thousand nights I've played
And a thousand more to go
Before I take a breath and steel myself
For the next one thousand shows
10. Country Comfort by Keith Urban
And it's good old country comfort in my bones
It's the sweetest sound these ears have ever known
It's just an old-fashioned feeling fully-grown
Country comfort in a heart that's going back home
11. Draw Me a Map by Dierks Bentley
Draw me a map that leads me back to you
I don’t know where to go please tell me what to do
Help me find the road you’re on I just need directions home
Draw me a map
That leads me back to you
12. Who You’d Be Today by Kenny Chesney
It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder who you'd be today
13. If You Can’t Be Good, Be Gone by The Steeldrivers
You say one thing and mean another
Now it's all comin' back on you
I trusted your lies for the last time
What makes you do the things you do
If you can't be good, be gone
Don't tell my love it don't belong
You got no right to do me wrong
So if you can't be good, be gone
14. I Go Back by Kenny Chesney
So I go back to a pew, preacher, and a choir
Singing ‘bout God, brimstone, and fire
And the smell of Sunday chicken after church
And I go back to the loss of a real good friend
And the sixteen summers I shared with him
Now "Only The Good Die Young" stops me in my tracks
Everytime I hear that song, I go back
15. Cluster Pluck by Brad Paisley Featuring James Burton, Vince Gill, Albert Lee,
John Jorgenson, Brent Mason, Redd Volkaert, and Steve Wariner
Instrumental
16. O Mary, Don’t You Weep by Bruce Springsteen
Brothers and sisters, don't you cry
There'll be good times by and by
Pharoh's army got drowned
Oh Mary don't you weep
Oh Mary don't you weep no more
Oh Mary don't you weep no more
Pharoh's army got drowned
Oh Mary don't you weep
17. Dust Bowl Dance by Mumford & Sons
There will come a time I will look in your eye
You will pray to the God that you always denied
The I'll go out back and I'll get my gun
I'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"
18. Boondocks by Little Big Town
I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the Boondocks
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul in the Boondocks
Mix. On 8tracks.
