Biography:
From a tradition of music rooted in heritage and home, honesty and hurt, sorrow and sunsets, emerge Lost Immigrants.
They are country music. They are rock.
They are saints. They are sinners.
They are idiots, and they are fools.
They are Texas Music.
This is their story. These are their songs.
The Lost Immigrants formed in fall 2004 with the birth of small collection of songs and an Americana music project. That collaboration led to weekly rehearsals, monthly gigs and frequent trips down Texas highways.

[Intro]
Bm
[Verse 1]
Bm
There's and old dirt road, just off route 9
G A Bm
Fades into the lake, at the low water line
Sometimes I wonder, down that road alone
G A Bm
Rememberin' the town, I once called home
I grew up in the valley, every neighbor a friend
G A Bm
Until the modern world, started creeping in
One day came the lawyers, with cash in hand
G A Bm
They swore that our village, would light up the land
[Chorus]
G A Bm
The dusky waters, moved cold and slow
D F#
And the ghosts of a village, still wonder below
G Bm
Homesteads and families, and friends forevermore
G A Bm
Haunting the valley, beyond this sparklin' shore
[Verse 2]
Bm
Surrounded the valley, was a painted red line
G A Bm
Drawn by company men, like mocking crane
A solid reminder, that all the siding must go
G A Bm
Ah but lost to the rising, dead river's flow
Some folks took the money, started grinding gears
G A Bm
While the rest of us held out, for 20 hard years
We watched our town, like a photograph fade
G A Bm
Until the company came, and took it all away
[Verse 3]
Bm
They tore down a church, and a school house burned
G A Bm
They dug up the graves, though as the progress turned
They got Dutchy's Store and Heaven's Pool Hall
G A Bm
And when the dozers rolled, we shattered a soul
[Chorus]
G A Bm
The dusky waters, moved cold and slow
D F#
And the ghosts of a village, still wonder below
G Bm
Homesteads and families, and friends forevermore
G A Bm
Haunting the valley, beyond this sparklin' shore
[Instrumental]
Bm ? G ? A ? Bm (X2)
[Verse 4]
Bm
Shake off the memories, on my lips of prayer
G A Bm
I'm thanking God for the Grace, and the beauty down there
While the porch lights glow all over the states
G A Bm
There's nothing but darkness, under the lake
[Chorus]
G A Bm
The dusky waters, moved cold and slow
D F#
And the ghosts of a village, still wonder below
G Bm
Homesteads and families, and friends forevermore
G A Bm
Haunting the valley, beyond this sparklin' shore
