What a difference a day makes How could the whole thing fall apart? You were my pride and joy And now you left me in the dark Goodbye happiness I never thought our bond would break Yesterday you loved me Oh what a difference a day makes Who knew 24 hours had the power to make me blue? Turn the world so wrong I can’t go on no matter what I do I wanna fall real deep in a dreamin’ sleep where there ain’t no truth And pretend today is yesterday and I still had you What a difference a day makes How could the whole thing fall apart? You were my pride and joy and now you left me in the dark Goodbye happiness I never thought our bond would break Yesterday you loved me Oh what a difference a day makes If I”d seen signs that things weren’t fine I’d would’ve done my best To walk the line and march in time pass any test You say I’ll be fine just give it some time that’s what I need Now every tomorrow filled with sorrow’s all I see What a difference a day makes How could the whole thing fall apart ? You were my pride and joy, and now you left me in the dark Goodbye happiness I never thought our bond would break Yesterday you loved me Oh what a difference a day makes Goodbye happiness I never thought our bond would break Yesterday you loved me Oh what a difference a day makes Oh what a difference a day makes

Hidden behind a door A little room in solitude It’s where I am more and more Protecting you from my mood I gave it my all and lost I showed my hand, you shook your head I knew there might be a cost I had a dream and now it’s dead You can’t blame a heart for trying I can’t make you feel my fire You can’t blame a heart for trying I can’t change your heart’s desire I’ve learned I can’t move your heart To make it bleed, to meet my needs We’ll never be whole just part And now I’m lost without a lead You can’t blame a heart for trying I can’t make you feel my fire You can’t blame a heart for trying I can’t change your heart’s desire You can’t blame a heart for trying I can’t make you feel my fire You can’t blame a heart for trying I can’t change your heart’s desire You can’t blame a heart for trying I can’t make you feel my fire You can’t blame a heart for trying I can’t change your heart’s desire

I thought fortune finally smiled on me I wanted so bad to believe But if something seems too good to be true You showed me it is Instead of comin’ back home to roost You’re always out there on the loose So long, Mama So long, Mama I don’t want to live like this no more So long, Mama Wonderin’ if you’ll show up at my door You think I’m helpless as a child While you’re out there runnin’ wild So long, Mama Now don’t think that I don’t understand The power of a beautiful woman When every man was ever talkin’ to me He’s lookin’ at you You can’t help but be the beauty you are But why you got to take it so far So long, Mama So long, Mama I don’t want to live like this no more So long, Mama Wonderin’ if you’ll show up at my door You think I’m helpless as a child While you’re out there runnin’ wild So long, Mama You can’t help but be the beauty you are But why you got to take it so far So long, Mama So long, Mama So long, Mama

Have you ever had a lover walk away on you? Giving every bit of life you had to someone new? If you can’t stop cryin’ no matter what you do Then I feel the same way as you Do you feel like dying when each day is through? Do you wannna even more when it comes back new? If the world won’t end when you want it to Then I feel the same way as you If it’s clear there’s nothing here that still feels right No one to love, no one to hold you tight Then I think it’s fair for me to say that it’s true I feel the same way as you Have you ever had pain inside that you can’t undo? Do you ever want to run and hide but you just can’t move? If you ever thought that you had these days turns out blue Then I feel the same way as you If it’s clear there’s nothing here that still feels right No one to love, no one to hold you tight If you never thought you’d be the kind to quit the fight Then I think it’s fair for me to say it’s true I feel the same way as you I feel the same way as you

The only thing standin’ between you and me Is nothin’ but a whole lotta floor Maybe you’re the kind that likes to take your time I just couldn’t wait no more I ain’t bad lookin’ when the band starts cookin’ I didn’t want to miss this chance I said all I can say the night is slippin’ away I better shut up and dance Shut up and dance Hit the ground runnin’ and we won’t stop A lotta time later that we can talk Better shut up and dance I got no plan, I just got lucky and caught your eye Glad it was me and not some other guy I better shut up and dance Sometimes I overthink it and talk too much Sometimes I don’t say nothin’ at all But the songs they’re playin’ are better at sayin’ What I want to the Belle of the Ball Waylon and Willie and every hillbilly that ever held a beer in his hand Searched deep inside, then swallowed his pride And then he shut up and danced Shut up and dance Hit the ground runnin’ and we won’t stop A lotta time later that we can talk Better shut up and dance I got no plan, I just got lucky and caught your eye Glad it was me and not some other guy I better shut up and dance Shut up and dance Hit the ground runnin’ and we won’t stop A lotta time later that we can talk Better shut up and dance I got no plan, I just got lucky and caught your eye Glad it was me and not some other guy I better shut up and dance I’m glad it was me and not some other guy I better shut up and dance

I Go Driving 02:57
When I go driving down the roads I know by heart When I go driving I feel better in the dark In the light it hurts too much to see what isn’t there today In the dark I can pretend that I’m ok As I’m riding I sing songs I know by heart As I’m riding I love every single part Of Good Ole Boys Like Me Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain Is it wrong that I find pleasure in the pain? See I’m travelin’ back in time to a land of make believe Where the farms are going strong and my father’s still with me Where the silos in the shadows and the barns are full of feed Where there’s hope in farmers’ eyes and folks who know their needs When I go driving As I’m dreaming, going down those country lanes Yes, I’m dreaming, thinking things can be the same I’m looking at the past; I’m trying not to stare Reaching for a life that isn’t there See I’m traveling back in time to a land of make believe Where the farms are going strong and my father’s still with me Where the silos in the shadows and the barns are full of feed Where there’s hope in farmer’s eyes and folks who know their needs When I go driving When I go driving When I go driving

Darkest Hour 02:55
When the worst iI fear’s in front of me When all my strength I don’t believe When all else fails and doesn’t do In my darkest hour, I reach for you Now when life is bright, and sailing by I do realize how little I Do count each blessing, this is true In my darkest hour, I reach for you This world can make a man feel small There’s times I feel I don’t fit at all When the losing end is nothing new In my darkest hour, I reach for you In my darkest hour, I reach for you

Who’s gonna to want a heart like mine? One that’s broke too many times It's been burning up my mind Who's gonna want a heart like mine It's been left and its been bruised Beaten down and been abused And it's been known to cross the line Who’s gonna want a heart like mine But I hope and I pray someday my dreams come true That each beat will bring me closer to someone like you Someone like you But I hope and I pray someday my dreams come true That each beat will bring me closer to someone like you Someone like you Who’s gonna want, who’s gonna want, who’s gonna want a heart, a heart like mine? Now who’s gonna want, who’s gonna want, who’s gonna want a heart, A heart like mine?

Now, Babe, I know there comes a day But I don’t want to give away one minute of you I see your eyes so big and bright, giving everything all your might You got your heart in all you do And I know that wanting to won’t stop time, but I wish it would And I’d be on every little hill you’ll climb, if I only could So when you’re out there on your own Just know that you’re not alone, my love cannot outgrow I hope you realize you are the shiniest of the stars The sky will ever show And I know that wanting to won’t stop time, but I wish it would And I’d be on every little hill you’llclimb, if I only could Now, Babe, I know there comes a day But I don’t want to give away one minute of you

You think that I don’t know The place that your heart goes You’re lyin’ here but a million miles away And I felt it all along, that makes me weak but I’m not wrong You look at me but your eyes say his name With you I’ve had to learn, my love won’t be returned You can’t lose again if you don’t play the game And no matter what I do, I’m just the next best thing to you I give my everythin’, but your eyes say his name Every day and night, you still hold on tight to him Your eyes say his name Your eyes say his name It's a wounded, worried life, where you barely show the knife And maybe you don’t know, but I’m dyin’ just the same ‘Cause the love I thought was mine, travels back to him each time You look at me, but your eyes say his name Every day and night, you still hold on tight to him Your eyes say his name Your eyes say his name

Dust 02:52
I got left in the dust Pity me if you must It ain’t clean we don’t mind Me and dust we do fine It’s in my lungs, it’s in my hair It’s in my teeth, I don’t care I won’t whine, I won’t fuss We do fine me and dust I don’t know where I’m going But suddenly I’m free I’d rather smother covered in the dust Than hear you lie to me Call it love, call it lust Call it gone we went bust She won’t weigh on my mind Me and dust we do fine I don’t know where I’m going But suddenly I’m free I’d rather smother covered in the dust Than hear you lie to me I’ve been trashed, I’ve been cussed Broken dreams, broken trust All things change, I’ll adjust We do fine me and dust I don’t know where I’m going But suddenly I’m free I’d rather smother covered in the dust Than hear you lie to me

Alone here on this grassy plain Small beneath the cloudless sky Prairie winds will ease my pain I have ridden here to die Here I’ll set my horses free Here I’ll let my worries fly Nevermore to follow me Nevermore to wonder why My song won’t reach another’s ears It doesn’t matter anyway ‘Cause it’s mine and mine alone It came to me on this good day By the river and by and by Songbirds join my last refrain The sweetest chorus never heard But it happened just the same My song won’t reach another’s ears, It doesn’t matter anyway ‘Cause it’s mine and mine alone It came to me on this good day My song won’t reach another’s ears It doesn’t matter anyway ‘Cause it’s mine and mine alone It came to me on this good day

about

The Gibson Brothers have had their greatest success in the world of bluegrass, but their talent knows no bounds. Songwriting is at the core of who they are, and on "Darkest Hour" they deliver 12 tracks produced by Jerry Douglas. The majority of this album was recorded with a standard bluegrass configuration, but a few of the tracks have lap steel, percussion, and electric guitar masterfully blended together by Jerry. They began work on this album just before the world shut down in March 2020.
