From A Kitchen Table - Dave Alvin cover. Performed by Robert Haigh.
LYRICS:
I hope this letter finds you
Wherever you may be
'Cause I mailed some a while back
And they were all returned to me
Ain't nothing I can tell you 'bout the hometown
Everything changes but nothing's new
Just Sunday night at the kitchen table
Finishing a beer and thinking of you
I still work the same job
And live with my mom for free
Ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave
I heard a rumour you got married
Though you swore you never would
I guess you finally got your own kids now
Do you ever tell 'em 'bout the old neighbourhood
Like the time we stole your dad's car
Drove all night down Imperial Highway
You kept saying maybe we should turn around
I said it don't take much to get away
But I still work the same job
And live with my mom for free
Ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave
I guess that's all I got to tell you
And things turned out how they're meant to be
I just hope this letter finds you
But until then I'll keep it with me
And I still work the same job
And live with my mom for free
Ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave

LYRICS: I am an old woman named after my mother My old man's another child that's grown old If dreams were lightning and thunder were desire This old house would have burnt down a long time ago Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery Make me a poster of an old rodeo Just give me one thing that I can hold on to To believe in this living is just a hard way to go When I was a young girl I had ...

LYRICS: Well I saw an old man walking in my place When he looked at me it could have been my face His words were kind but his eyes were wild I got a load to love but I want one more child There's a mansion on the hill Psychedelic music fills the air They say love lives there still In that mansion on the hill Around the next turn take a highway to the sun Or the rocky road it really don't matter...

    Robert, this is a great song. i’ve previously heard a duet between Brian Kennedy and a female artist (can’t remember her name)but for some reason thought it was written by one of them- glad to be corrected on that. You sing it really well solo - thanks for sharing.

    I consider Dave Alvin to be one of the greatest songwriters around. His songs are full of real meaning and well-worked imagery. He is also a fine singer and a highly accomplished guitarist (both acoustic and electric). If you are not familiar with his work I urge you to seek out some of his songs on UA-cam.
