Holly Williams - Gone Away From Me Lyrics

I fall more in love with this woman every day ...... god her music is amazing.

Love your grandpa Hank Sr. My very favorite singer he will always be.

Gone Away From Me"

I grew up in a town with one red light
How that train would rattle me in the middle of the night
But I slept like a baby in that bed
Cause mama kept me warm and she kept me fed

July 3rd was a dreaded friend of mine
We'd all go down to the family plot in the Louisiana pines
Staring at that little baby's grave
Stella was as young as she was brave

And what I'd give to go there again
Kiss my daddy's face, hold my mama's hand
Little did I know soon they would be
Lying right beside her, gone away from me
Gone away from me

They always made us kneel by grandpa's grave
Mama was a-wailing asking God if he was saved
I never liked to see my daddy cry
I guess I'll never know how grandpa died

And what I'd give to go there again
Kiss my daddy's face, hold my mama's hand
Little did I know soon they would be
Lying right beside him, gone away from me
Gone away from me (Gone away from me)
Gone away from me, from me (Gone away from me)
Gone away from me (Gone away from me)

You barely even see the tombstones now
The trees are grown up everywhere and no one keeps the grounds
Strangers live inside my childhood home
And I can't believe that daddy's really gone

And what I'd give to go there again
Kiss his withered face, hold her gentle hand
But there ain't no way that will ever be
They lie beneath that old tree,
Gone away from me (Gone away from me)
Gone away from me
Gone away from me (Gone away from me)

Well I grew up in a town with one red light

Chek out blue is my heart.with her pops. Great tune..great voice H.W......

Holly Williams has the hugest heart and wings of an angels... wiping tears right now.

Thank you Michael Logsdon! Love Holly and her husband together.

Just a beautiful song!!

Thanks YouTube to let me discover this great woman.

Finally a real country artist. She sings about things that matter, things that make you feel deeply. No talk about beaches, buying boats to make you happy, or taking staycations. And definitely no rapping....

Why is this not song of the year?

ultracool music, thnxxx on posting :)))

She is something else methinks ...

AND a bag a chips.

Holly is "better" than Country music…. don't get me wrong…I like Country...

heart wrenching............will never stop missing my Dad.

Incredible talent. Love this song. This is what music is about for me. Real life, has meaning behind it with a story people can relate to.

Amazing talent and beautiful voice! WOW!

Song like this are one reason I still really love country music. Always have...always will. And the fact that Jackson Browne sang the "guest vocals" on this one is perfect. Wonderful song.

Didn't realize that was Jackson. Thanks for that tidbit. I am a huge JB fan...

wonderful song... really..heard it on radio last night in car...made a note of who it was...gonna link it to my facebook,,more people should hear it!

I can relate to many of the lyrics of this song. Just can't get enough of Holly's music. Looking forward to seeing her live this Summer.

The lonesome tombstones it's so real as my parents graves lie together.A sad year of 2008. Real Heart song

So so so relatable.
