...in this time, new songs percolated and bubbled to the surface, and eventually the seeds for their third album, Hello Love, were watered and grown. Recorded over the period of a year and a half, and released October 10th, 2006, some consider this the band's best album to date.
LYRICS
Human Thing
(© Ford)
Yer a human thing
Who yah think that you're foolin”
Yer not foolin”, not foolin’ me
Yer a human thing
Yer so busy frontin’
Confusin” courage and acting
Move me
Move me
Could it really be so wrong
To let somebody, somebody see.
Move me
Move me
A girl can keep it together
Come on now, you know you we’ll take the weather
Come on now, you know we love your weather
You got roots cannot be torn from under
Won’t you shake it like you've never done before
You've got roots cannot be torn from under
Won’t you shake it like you've never done before
You're a human thing

Ootischenia
(© Ford/Parton/Klein)
In spite of everything around me
I hit the floor, and my feet kept moving
I looked forwards and never backwards
I was out the door like a rollin soldier
Impossible to keep a straight line
Too young to keep these bitter hearts
And all around me somebody's singin’
Get back get back
Long hair comin down her shoulders
She is tired, and feeling so much older
So tear the pages from the family bible
It came down upon the women for survival (x2)
I wasn't meanin’ nothing at all
You stop me if I get it wrong
I think I'm hearing somebody saying
I'm gonna spank you till you can't sit down
Bust apart ah we lose each other
The constellation of my sisters and brothers
Spreading out into the darkness
Goodbye to you in the sadness of this
Impossible to keep a straight line
Too young to keep these bitter hearts
And all around me somebody singin
Get back get back

A Little Blues
(© Parton)
Well here I am undone again
I know I'll see you I just don't know when
Little stars all a-twinkling
I wonder where you are
I wonder what you're thinking
I know I gave my heart a little soon
I walk for miles underneath the moon
I'll sing this sad lonesome little tune
For you
Little patch of grass under the overpass
I'll rest for hours amid the flowers
Just a tiny bird with a little song
And when the sun comes up
I'll be long gone.

Hello Love
(© Ford)
Hello love my old friend
Sure is good to see you again
I stood out, on the road
Just a watchin’ the cars
A come and go
I felt empty, I felt bare
I really thought that I could not care
All the leaves are soaking wet
How succulent a little spring day gets
If you kiss me once
Out here in the rain
We’ll go back and start all over again
So lift up every voice and sing
Sing to the tree tops
And everything
Say hello love
My old friend
Sure is nice
To see you again

Out Of The Wilderness
(Traditional)
Tell me how did you feel, when you come out of the wilderness?
How did you feel, when you come out of the wilderness?
How did you feel, when you come out of the wilderness?
Lean and lonely lord
Well, I felt like shouting, when I came out of the wilderness.
I felt like shouting, when I came out of the wilderness.
I felt like clapping, when I came out of the wilderness.
Leaning on the Lord
Well, I told everybody, when I come out the wilderness.
I told everybody, when I come out the wilderness.
I told everybody, when I cme out the wilderness.
Lean and lonely Lord
Tell me how did you feel, when you come out the wilderness?
How did you feel, when you come out the wilderness?
How did you feel, when you come out the wilderness?
Lean and lonely Lord
Well, I felt like shouting, when I come out the wilderness.
I felt like shouting, when I come out the wilderness.
I felt like shouting, when I come out the wilderness.
Lean and lonely Lord
Well, I told everybody, when I come out the wilderness.
I told everybody, when I come out the wilderness.
I told everybody, when I come out the wilderness.
Lean and lonely Lord

Song For R.
(© Parton)
You see people coming from all sides
With their broken hearts and hollow eyes
And you try to love but it's easier to hate
When the seed that was planted was watered too late
Oooh oh child
Oooh oh child
Your roots stretch down to grow up wild
Roots stretch down to grow up wild
It was late last night when the doorbell rang
My brother in some trouble
He stood shaking on the doorstep in the rain
With a freight train pounding in his veins
And I took him in and cleaned him up
Gave him some water and I put him to bed
Then I cried for the sadness of his life
And his lonely struggle with addiction
Friends say oh what a shame
Mum says no one but himself to blame
But I don't want to play that game
'Cos I know the truth is not so plain
Call it a hard life or a lack of love
Call it passed down from his father
Call it lack of faith in god above
There are no easy answers
He is just a child
He is just a child
Arms stretched out for love
Arms stretched out for love
Arms stretched out for love

What Are They Doing In Heaven Today
(© Rev. Charles A. Tindley)
I’m thinking of friends that I used to know
Who lived and suffered in this world below
They’ve gone off to heaven, but I want to know
What are they doing there now?
Oh, what are they doing in heaven today
Where sin and sorrow have all gone away
Peace is found like a river they say
Oh, what are they doing there now?
There’s some whose hearts were burdened with care
They spent their moments with all frightened and scared
But they clung to the cross in trembling and fear
Oh, what are they doing there now?
What are they doing... (chorus)
There’s some who were poor and often despised
They looked up toward heaven with tear-blinded eyes
While people were heedless and deaf to their cries
Oh, what are they doing there now?
(Chorus)
