I agree with Marty, you are in a class of your own when it comes to lyrics, such a great write!
Another great song, floyd, you are a star in my book.

Floyd
You really took us on a journey with those wonderful lyrics! This song is such a pleasure to listen to! It's definitely a different type of song from your usual offerings, but still delivered in excellent fashion! I love it when you put up a surprise like this! This is the kind of stuff that keeps making new FJ fans!
Thanks, Torrey

You did a really great job on this one! The particular arrangement of instruments you chose were the perfect compliment. Thanks for sharing! Ember - thanks for stopping by for a listen!
Love the nice, old, warm sound on this Floyd. A great listen, but for me also a very PLEASANT listen. Kinda retro.
Full of lyrical romance and musical magic.
Great job.
Warm is a good way to go, I think.... Floyd...nothing like a good old train beat to move a song along...really nice song...love the harmonica...great imagery in the lyrics and great performance especially when you're adding the harmony parts...top-notch in every way! Appreciate that, Dan...

Floyd,
Its more than the train beat that makes this such a good feeling song; the lyric details are really fine and your warm vocal makes me believe you rode those rails.
Great band too!

Hi Floyd
Gotta love a train song, and this is a really good one. Great lyrics and vocals. Love the harmonica and banjo combo. When it finished I immediately hit play again for a second listen. Top notch.
Regards,
Leon
Thanks, Leon. Always nice to have you drop by for a listen... Much tamer than the Grateful Dead train ride across Canada. What a wonderful ride, Floyd. The perfect band. Love the harmonica. You are the best engineer for a train song like this. Dang, I know I've said this a thousand times, but you are in a special class of lyric writing. Heck, you are the tenured teacher.
OMG, I hear some sibilance on the Ss, but it aptly reminds me "of a distant whistle of that old southbound." Thanks, Marty. In this case, Mike deserves a lot of credit. The bones of the lyric are his doing - he is a superb lyricist. I do some touch-up, polishing, additions, etc. (and the music and production), but much of his original remains...

We love trains. We love Jimmie Rogers. We love this song! The lyric is full of vivid imagery and the band you’ve assembled gives the feeling of the train chugging along the tracks, especially the drums. The fiddle and harmonica work really well together too. Your voice has such a rich timbre and, as Janice always notes, your phrasing accentuates just the right words and phrases. We also love the cover photo. Bud “hopped a train” in his youth and ended up getting off seven miles from town  There's been a lot of country music water under the bridge since this style sold millions but one listen to this and those sales are easy to understand. Kudos! Thanks for the upbeat lyric, vocal and entire production. We need that. J&B

Floyd,
A new favorite for me. Love the wistfulness of this tune. Your vocal is perfect. The touch of harmonica and banjo is just great.
Outstanding!
Bob Thanks, Bob! Floyd,
What a great county tune, spurred by a superb write. Those drums are outstanding really giving atmosphere and ambience to the tune. Excellent, just excellent production. Impressive collaboration, boys. Brilliant!
My best to you both,
Deej Appreciated, Deej.... Hi Floyd and Michael
I'm not a country expert but the song sounds excellent
Your singing is absolutely top class
That's how we imagine country music here in Germany ;-))))
Great work Floyd and Michael
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Thanks, Andi....

Country at it absolute best
As usual everything is just perfect
Loved it Thanks, Mario.... You are the undisputed master at what you do. That doesn't mean you aren't versatile, far from it; but this is your home ground. A good ol' country song, old school style - and you are truly unbeaten, here. I am not an expert on country music, at all; but your voice is easily one of the very best I've heard in the genre. Better than Randy Travis (my lack of expertise shows, haha), etc., and how. You tell a story when you sing, and you know just how to deliver it, with your trademark inflections, etc. :-) Thanks for sharing this - really brightened up an otherwise rather dreary evening, over here in London. Those are some very nice comments, James. Thanks!! Hi, Floyd !
I share Mario´s opinion
regarding this being
country at it´s best !
your voice is just made
for this !
Cheers
Dani Thanks, Dani....

I know I listened to this several days ago and thought I had commented..... ooops.
Nothing like a good old " Cross-tie walker" Hobo song.
Nicely written and sung. Everything else is in place like it needs to be.
Good imagery in the lyrics that take you right into the camps and sights along the tracks that most people never know exist let alone see.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I like a lot of your stuff that I've heard on the BiaB Radio but this has to be my favorite so far! It wouldn't surprise me to hear that come across my SiriusXM Channel 60 (Outlaw Country) station.
