[Verse 1]
[G]Peter, can you tell me about
Walls of Time
and how it came about?
Well,
we had left the Grand Ole Opry about midnight
on a Saturday night out of Nashville, Tennessee,
in the old bus called
the Bluegrass Breakdown
that Bill Monroe had inherited from Alonzo
and Oscar and Ernest Tubb.
And I was driving that bus,
and we'd been driving the whole night,
and finally the bus
broke down up in Kentucky.
we were on our way
to Bean Blossom, Indiana,
to play the Brown County Jamboree,
which was Bill's little country music park
up there.
And the old diesel broke down
in a place called Horse Caves, Kentucky,
and I was standing outside the
bus
watching the sunrise
in the mountains of the east.
And Bill comes off the [G]bus,
and he walks up to me,
and he sings these words,
and I wrote some words in answer to him.
The wind is blowin' across the mountain
And down over the valley way below
[C]It [G]sweeps the grave of my darling
When [C]I die, that's where I want [G]to go
