lyrics

well i used to think about you when i was younger
late at night when i was driving all alone
i’d see you hangin’ on the shoulder not a single day older
but i was lost i was tired and i was stoned

and your name it don’t come up much in conversations anymore
but you’ve been on my mind more often than not
i wonder if anybody’s tryin to get out in the trees to find you
are you somethin’ the universe forgot

twenty-five years is a long time out in the ice and snow
and you’re a stronger woman than me i can’t stand to be that cold
yeah those mountains ain’t easy on the living and they’re damn unforgiving on the dead
won’t you come home and tell us all about it Sara Anne

well you’d hardly recognize this old town anymore
it’s like the dairies all just dried up overnight
year by year the city sprawl divvies up them all
and you can see it any way you look from the flashing light

old crew finished school grew up moved away
and had babies and got married and divorced
and each day on the way to work i still pass by that old church
big red letters screamin’ jesus is lord

yeah and i believe that less and less the older i get
i won’t pray anymore to a lord that’s just gonna turn his back
and i lost all use of the scriptures while lookin’ at your pictures on the exit ramp
won’t you come home

i hope i live long enough to see you on the news or get a knock at my door
telling me you’re alright they just found you alive
and i don’t have to wonder about Sara Anne no more

well those mountains ain’t easy on the living and they’re damn unforgiving on the dead
won’t you come home why don’t you just come on home
won’t you come home and tell us all about it Sara Anne

Janet Batch Ithaca, New York

One part Stevie Nicks, two parts Johnny Cash, singer-songwriter Janet Batch hails from New York’s Finger Lakes region, writing and recording songs inspired by working-class life. Some anthemic, some heartbreaking, many songs harken back to the hardscrabble stories of her youth in the Rust Belt. She fronts a 4-piece band whose sound is reminiscent of seventies and eighties country radio. ... more
