      Alison Maria Krauss(born July 23, 1971) is an American bluegrass-country singer and musician. She entered the music industry at an early age, winning local contests by the age of 10 and recording for the first time at 14. She signed with Rounder Records in 1985 and released her first solo album in 1987. She was invited to join the band with which she still performs, Alison Krauss and Union Station, and later released her first album with them as a group in 1989.

         Krauss has released fourteen albums, appeared on numerous soundtracks, and sparked a renewed interest in bluegrass music in the United States. Her soundtrack performances have led to further popularity, including the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, and the Cold Mountain soundtrack, which led to her performance at the 2004 Academy Awards.

           As of 2019, she has won 27 Grammy Awards from 42 nominations, ranking her fourth behind Beyoncé, Quincy Jones and classical conductor Georg Solti for most Grammy Award wins overall. Krauss was the most awarded singer and the most awarded female artist in Grammy history until Beyoncé won her 28th Grammy in 2021. When Krauss won her first Grammy in 1991, she was the second-youngest winner at that time.

      On November 21, 2019, she was awarded the National Medal of Arts. She was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame in September 2021.

          Lonely Runs Both Ways is the twelfth album by bluegrass music group Alison Krauss & Union Station, released November 23, 2004. The album won the band three Grammy Awards in 2006, including Best Country Performance By a Duo or Group with Vocal for the song "Restless", Best Country Instrumental Performance for "Unionhouse Branch", and Best Country Album. The song "A Living Prayer" was honored with the award for Bluegrass Recorded Song of the Year from the Gospel Music Association.

'm soaring the sky, I can hear the birds

And man they don't lie

How you gonna catch me, When I'm this high

 

I'm moving on

I got the words to a brand new song

How you gonna catch me, when I'm this gone

 

Gone tomorrow here today

Just in case you got somethin' to say

I'll be leaving with the rest if goodbye

Is all we have

 

I disconnected the phone

Told the neighbors I'll be heading home

As soon as the light hits the morn

 

I'm heading north

Gonna see what this heart's really worth

I guess it's time to be on my own

 

Gone tomorrow here today

Just in case you got somethin' to say

I'll be leaving with the rest if goodbye

Is all we have

 

I sure would love to see you tonight

Maybe try to end this fight

If I don't hear you knockin on my door

Then I'll know for sure

 

Gone tomorrow here today

Just in case you got somethin' to say

I'll be leaving with the rest if goodbye

Is all

 

Gone tomorrow here today

I'll be leaving with the rest if goodbye

Is all we have.
