GerryM	Origins: Way Down the Road (Craig Johnson) (59* d)	RE: Origins: Way Down the Road (Craig Johnson)	19 Aug 25
There are roughly seventy-leven sets of lyrics posted to this thread. The most recent one (From: RickMohr - PM Date: 10 Sep 24 - 12:06 PM) is the only one that refers to "shoebox houses", all the rest have it as "saltbox houses" or "salt box houses". I had been wondering, as I read those other versions, what a "saltbox house" might be. I don't claim to know what Craig Johnson actually wrote, or sang, or whether he sang the same thing every time he sang it, but "shoebox" makes more sense to me than "saltbox". Would anyone like to defend "saltbox", and maybe explain what it might mean in the context of "houses"?
