Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Way Down the Road (Craig Johnson)
Subject: RE: blow your whistle out across the lines
Daniel,

Would you believe that gig in Ithaca was more like FIFTEEN years ago!! (Maybe more)

Lrics to the chorus are:

Blow your whistle out through the pines,
Out across the mountains to the Clinchfield Line,
Blow for better times,
Way down the road.

THE CLINCHFIELD LINE railroad was almost 300 miles long and sent trains from the coalfields of Kentucky to the North Carolina piedmont. It ran through 6 states and is now a part of CSX.
